SMITH. The old Confederate veterau, a j ?fl resident of Virginia, who recently j te besought Mrs. Carrie Nation to marry bim was evidently afflicted with dimeutia Americana, "brain storm." Feeding eighty-couts " western corn to $200 mulf s is a risky piece of business. If it doesn't iujure the mules, it brings . d.'l^^^glfel n?eket-bookr-some Orangey, "toe big cott?u raising county, is soon 'o feel the uew-county knife. Three separate and distinct new county move ments are clamoring ior portions of her territory. The counties of South Carolina are divided into two classes Those that buy and sell liquor, and those that seize and pour out contraband liquor. As for our part, we are glad that Edgefield belongs to the "pouring out" class. The fare to the Confederate re union to be beld in Columbia on May 7, 8 and 9th has been fixed at one cent per mik botb way6, or one-third the regular fare. By making this very low rate, the railroads will contribute largel) to the success of the reuuion. Every veteran in the state can doubtless raise one-third of the regular fare to the capital city. Edgefield ships furniture from Laurens, mattresses from Lees ville, coffins from Newberry, bug gies from Rock Hill, lumber from Johnston and bricks from Colum bia. What does'she ship in return to tbese.towns? Nota whit of any-] thing. Shejs.like the nation that bas a great volume of importe but no exports, or the farmer who is continually paying out. money for necessities but produces very lit tle to sell to others. Such a policy does not bring about rapid growth or permanent prosperity. Women are coming rapidly to the front in all walks of life and unleBS the men bestir themselves they will have to take back seats. It is a fact worthy of more than passing notice that a youngwo man, Miss Eleanor S. Saunders, graduated with first honor from the Medical College of Charleston last week. There were'twenty men in the class, but Dr. Eleanor Saunders'easily outstripped them all. Besides being richly endowed with natural ability, her victory is doubtless due in part to the J faot that her fair hands were not stained with nicotine from the | cigarette. One can scarcely find a farmer in Edgefield county who has not adopted the Williamson mnthod for at least a portion of his corn crop. If, however, when the har vest time arrivas there is a dis appointment as to the yield, the shortage can not be charged al together to the Williamson meth od. Mr. Williamson advocates early planting iu order to have ample time to dwarf the stalk, but owing to the very unfavorable conditions there will be no early corn this year. For this reason ae good results may not be obtained from the Williamson method dur ing the present year as when nor mal conditions prevail. Botb Kentucky aud Tennessee are inclining toward prohibition and other States almost as famous for their liquors are bending in the same direction. It begins to look like prohibition for the en tire country a few years hence. Most of us have grown up wilh the idea that while prohibi'.ion was a mighty good thing it was not practicable. The record Greenville has made since the county went dry, as compared with bar-room and dispensary davs, is astonish ing-an almost unanswerable ar gument in favor of prohibition.- ! Greenville News. There have been several far mers of thfc county indicted re cently under the United States peonage act, tut when the cases were more fully investigaled by the grand jury they were thrown out of court. Just who is working) up these case's in not known. It jp, nevertheless, very annoying, not to mention the expense, for a far mer to be brought into the United States court ou the veriest pre text. Furthermore, when the right IO* n sugges. uld meet in oi... situation and to ann*.. wo. ld that they will stalin other in the matter of enforc . contracts. We believe such a eting would have a wholesome ect^aMMs^t^ Soldier Who Never Turned His Sack to the Enemy, but Ran From a Woman. BY CAPT. GEO. B. LAKE. If the writer were not several lLdred miles from Capt. S. L. eady, of Johnson, S. C., ne .obabiy would refrain from giv ,g this incident for publication. As a rule, the truly brave mj'j ? sympathetic and possessor of a .uder heart, and oftener than tberwise, modest. All these nalities, bas my friend, Capt. leady. We were at the railroad station t West Point, Georgia, waitiLg or a belated train to carry U3 to ur command. There were quite n umber of other mm, women and hildfen around the station. A lttle child, a mere baoy, ju.st.ablt o walk,/nnuQ.tiee4.; bcd wanderpd way ' from its mother,, and wy? liitiug oc -a cr?38-tie in the mid ?f? of the track, fully a hundred ,'ards from the crowd. A heavy reigbt train was backing up to he station, runniug pretty fast. The engineer cou'd not see the ?hild because the cars were be tween it aud his engine. Some one -ried, 'My God, look at that jhild ? Capt. Ready pushed tbrouph the cowd and ran for th? baby. The women were shrieking, nod the men, most of th- m fccl diers. accustomed to seeing people killed, t?oo? motionless with bated breath, for they bad n^ver seen anything 60 horrible as a baby crushed to death by a heavy freight traip. The mother, frantic with grief, was doing all she could to get her darling. It looked im possible for 'he brave young offi cer to beat the race, but it was a case of life and deatb. Ready grasped the ohild by tbs arm.throw it from the track, was struck bv the train himself, but not serious ly burt. A shout of "Thank God," went up from those who saw it, aud a yell thal wouM have clone credit to a column of Confederate soldiers in a charge. After the mother bad cried and laughed and almost smothered the little one with hugs and kisses, sh? tried to get to Capt. Reacy to thank him. but she did not succeed. Even after boardi?g the train he was careful to get into another coach. He had fought many battles be fore that day, aud a great many more after. He was shot down in a charge near Petersburg, and surrendered at Appomattox, but never did a manlier act than when he saved a little child. Capt. Ready is still sparpd to his family and friends, and has the love and respect aud confi dence of all who know him I hope to meet him at the grand re-union at Richmond, and hear bim join in the Confederate song, "Den hoe it down and scratch ver grabble, To Dixie's land I'm bound to trabble." -Clinch Valley News.

Mr. Editor: On lt?st Saturday our hearts were made t i r joice over the festivit?s of Vernon school. It was quit^ a success and perfect order prevailed. Exercises were opened wi'h prayer by Mr. J. J.

Then came showers of speeches, essays, dialogues and amaseinout of different kinds, Tho large aiir dienoe was held spell bou nd for two and a half hours. Music was furnished by Messrs. C. W.
