WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25, 1905.
Truly spoke Edward Herbert
when he, said: '-Sometimes the
Inti gain is to loee."
It seems that th* Edgefield peo
' pie are, as the expression goes, not
laking to the cotton exchange
very rapidly. They are showing
their good sense by letting it alone.
Calhoun, county stock would
.have commanded a premium a
few days a??o but the recent Abbe
ville survey, educing the area,
alleged to have beeu cut from
that county, considerably below
the amount of territory claimed
by the new county advocates, has
caused the price to decline away
below par, the drop being almost
equal to the slump -in cotttou.
?'. If tbe fertilizer factories have
-speen running on full time du
ring summer and fall, expecting
the usual heavy demand for their
product, they will doubtless suffer
alpo from over-production. It is
probable that many millionf ol
bags of guano, just as there are'
probably several million "bags"
of cotton, will havt, to be carried
over. You will not bear of any ol
it being bumed, however.
Hon. Josh Ashley, tbe butt o?
the House, is ac hie old* tricks
again- doing those things that
are, contrary to the interests of the
. people and undoing, or endeavor
ing io tindo, rthose things that
contribute to their welfare. He
not only opposes the immigration
commission but is now doing all
... that he can-in hie feeble way
-to repeal the dog tax law. In thus":
befriending his pet, the "yaller"
dog, Honorable JoBb proves him
yB?f to be the enemy of the dog's
owner" and the people at large.
Poor Eussia! She - is reaping
-..what.ehs.. Jias ^sown. -For {many
- generations she has through b.er
: poli cy of arrogance, greed, cruel fy)
oppression and +vrany, sown to
the win? and now she is reaping
a -whirlwind of insurrection and
internal strife. Just as tho Japa
nese were rejoiced at the fall of
Port Arthur, so; the entire .world
would unite with the. teeming
millions of oppressed Russians in
rejoicing at the fall of St. Peters
burg. - . .
There was a Vme in the loug
ago, we are told, when the spirit
of crime and lawleBsness was
rampaut in Edgefield"; when cock
fighting and gambling were open
ly engaged in upon the etreets, but
we confidently believe that a new
and better day baB dawned upon
our town. The atmosphere of the
community bae been in a measure
purified ; the moral tone elevated ;
tbe public conscience quickened
an? rendered more sensitive-and
let us hope, that along with it,
there bas been created a sentiment
that will "freeze out" bucket-shops
and other kindred institutions of
demoralization and ruin.
On To Colombia!
Mr. W. H. Nicholson completed
the survey of Edgefield county on
Monday and he purposes having
the calculation and complete data,
giving the exact r rea of the coun
ty, ready to' be presented to the
committees.from tba senate and
House which will-hold a joint
eeBeion on Friday afternoon' to
hear arguements upon the Calhoun
county measure. A. large portion
of the committee of ono hundred
which was recently appoiutea .to
go to Columbia to appear befor
tbe legislature in the .interests of
old Edgefield will leave for the
capital-city to-dny. We trust-that
mauy who are no?_|>v^st\ers of
t hi s special oomuirrTee will lay
aside their personal inter, st for
a. day "or two and lend their pres
ence ar.d influence to the defeat
ing of the new county measure.
Everything that can be legitimate
ly.done must be done at once. Tbe
advocates" of the new county will
of course be. well- represented in
polumbia. and it behooves those
,"ave,l?hb?art the
Hr. Jacob luther Caughman, | j
Cashier of the Farmers Bank,
Out lXowii-in the Prime of
a Uief ul auct Success
ful Career.
How unspeakably sad and
shocking was the death of Mr.
Jacob L. Caughman, which occur
ed or? Friday evening, January
the 20th, at his palatial residence
which was completed r ' occu
pied only a few short ,T" . ? ago.
His sudden and untiu denise
seems more like a dream than a
reality to those who haveMaily
seen him-Strong, robust, a splen
did type of physical manhood-in
the full enjoyment of the best of
health. -
Mr. Caugbman had been suffer
ing for several days from slight
indisposition, but was not sick
euo?gh to be confined to his bed.
On Friday afternoon he complain
ed of feeling worse and retired
very early. About half, past nine
o'clock Mrs. Caughman, who was
alone with him, was attracte-d to
the bedside, and seeing that a
change bad come o\er bim sum
moner! near neighbors and a physi
cian at once. Every effort to revive
him was of no avajl, for Jins sou!
had taken its flight to the God who
gave it. The cause of his death has
oeen pronounced heart failure.
The deceased was thirty six
years of age and a native of Edge-1
.field, cc un ty, being born and rear
ed in- that portiou that has since
become Saluda county. He oame
U? cur town iii the early nineties
as assistaut to his father, ''Mr.
John C. Caughman, who was I hen
county/treasurer. His high sense
of honor, faithful performance ol
every duty and uniform courtesy
won the confidence and esteem of
our entire citizenship. Being cogui
zantofhis marked ability and ex
alted character the directors of
the Farmers ?auk in 1897 elected
Mr. Caughman assistaut cashier,
and as a further ^cognition of his
superior fitness for so responsible
a pos:tiou, and as a reward for
duty faithful ly performed, he was
U|ion the election of Mr. A. E.
Padgett as president of the bank,
promoted lo the casbiersbip, being
also a director of the bank aud of
the Edgefiold Mercantile Company
at the time of his death.
No comniuuity can lose so valu
able a citizen as was the deceased
without feeling very keenly thb
loss. In the home he was gentle,
thoughtful, kind, exercising at all
times tho sincerest devoliou to
ward.his loved ones ; athis pl?.ce
of business -he was courteous,
obliging, considerate of the inter
ests of others; as a friend he was
loyal and true, and asacitiztu he
was broad-minded, liberal, public
spirited, ready at all times to con
tribute his time, efforts aud means
for the promotion of the common
good. For two consecutive terms
he served asamemberof the town
council, guarding with a zealous
eye the iuterestB of the communi
ty a large.
As in secular affairs-throwing
hiB whole being into whatever be'
undertook-so in religious affairs
was the life of the 'deceased. He
"remembered his Creator" in th''
'day's of his youth and rendered to
Him a whole-hearted, consecrated
service until he was . summoned
into His presence. Born- of God
fearing parents, reared in a Christ
ian home, his was an exemplary
life. As has already been said of
the deceased, he was "diligent in
business, fervent in spirit, serviug
the Lord.'" While iu his tender
years Mr. Caughman United with
St. Mark's Lutheran church which
is located in Saluda county, and
remained a member of that church
until about a year ago, when he
aided in the founding of St. John's
Lutheran cnurch at Johnston, of
which he was a charter member
and a deacon.
Since casting his lot in Edge
field Mr. Caugbman married Mi^es
Mattie Hiller, ot Dawson, Ga , who
with a little . daughter, aged
three mouths, survives bim. May
the Lord be tenderly near the
heart-broken wife, the aged
father and mother whose family
sirolu death has invaded
for the first time, and the deyoted ,
?isters aud brothers in this hour
of sore affliction and bereavement
The f uneral was conducted on
Sunday morning in our Baptist
?hurch by Rev. Mr. Risinger, the
pa.jtor of the deceased, assisted by
Rev. C. E. Burts. The mortal re
mains were laid to rest in our
millage cemetery amid the tears of
i large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends.
