The grand jury held a special ses

have been informed, to employ at
once an expert accountant to check

Mr. James B. Adams visited our
ofiioe yesterday and stated that he
has recently traveled from his home
to Augusta, Trenton and Plum
Branch, and that he saw more oats
than he has seen in thirty years be

county.
But One Milder Winter.
A lady who resides in our county,

people of a lady minstrel I wish to
say that you can guarantee this to
be one of the cleanest and best
shows on the Toad. They played

you will play them to good returns,
I am,

'Rambler" on Dr. Osier's Sug-1
_ gestion, Good /Work by

The concensus of opinion here
abouts, seems to be, that senator
Tillman is in a hole. While the
lenator has violated no law, as the
one honest man in the senate," he
las not held himself-, above suspi
:ion. According to Osier he ought
0 have been chloroformed about
1 year ago, having passed the age
>f sixty; but as that was not done,
?outh Carolina will have to forgive
lim on account of mental infirmi
ies brought on by age. But candid
v if senator Tillman had not been
roaming over the west," teaching
hose westerners his kind of politics,
ie might have kept out of that
'scrap."
He had better been at home

inians, his constituency, how to
ceep ahead of the negro, about
ivhich he talked to our patriotic
oachers in* Columbia some days
igo. If he would give our teachers

Death of Mr. R. T. Scurry.
Just before closing our forms ear
ly this, Wednesday, morning the
news pf the death of Mr.R. T. Scur
ry reached us. The interment will
take place this afternoon in thc vil
lage cemetery;
Mr. Scurry was stricken with
apoplexy Tuesday of last week, fail
ing in his store. He was earned
home, at once and until the final
summons came received the best of
attention from loved ones and from
I the attending physicians. He was
j forty-eight years of age, and was
reared in"the northern part of this
county, now Saluda county. Almost
fifteen years ago Mr. Scurry moved
to Edgefield, and since coming
among us has by his warm-hearted,
generous natare made'many friends,
who cab not realize that they will
see him no* more in the flesh.,
To his sister, Miss Ella'Scurry,
to whom he was tenderly devoted,
and to his brothers, Messrs. J. R,
and Brooks Scurry, The Advertiser
tenders profound sympathy.

Robert E lee.
E T) G E H. TO/?f.
His disposition
was amiable, his
manner polished,
his heart kindly.
SELDOM, if ever, in the history of
warfare has the leader of a lost
Lcause received the commenda
tion from his foes that has been
accorded by the north to Robert E.
Lee. Even though the cause itseli'
failed, this in itself is success. To
meet defeat without bitterness, to re
main sweet through adversity, is in a
personal sense to triumph.
The crisis in General Lee's life came
at the outbreak of the war. He him
self was opposed to the seceding move
ment, but when that movement came
decided to cast his lot with his state.
In future the impartial- historian mty
see in this act a sophistry, but he must
acquit Lee of selfish motive, even
though he may detect a flaw in his
reasoning, for ;it seems indisputable
that Lee was offered the command of
the Federal forces about Washington,
so that he had a selfish reason for tak
ing the opposite course from that
which he did take.
In the beginning of his life, in all
outward ways, General Lee was pe
culiarly fortunate. His birth was of
the best, he being the son of "Light
Hojrse Harry" Lee of Revolutionary
fame. His was a splendid education,
ns he was second in his class at West
Point He was married to a Custis,
and in- this far was connected with
Washington. In personal appearance
be was handsome and of commanding
appearance. His, disposition was amia
ble, bis manner polished, his heart
kindly. He gained especial distinction
in the war with Mexico. His domestic
l^ife was spotless.
Lee was especially popular with his
array. Few leaders have been more
Idolized. It is related of him that he
often gave a command as though mak
ing a suggestion. He took no part in
the acrimonious discussions relating to
the conduct of the war, but assumed
the responsibility for all mistakes, if
there were such. He was great in
defeat and advised the south to accept
the results of the war without mur
mur. Then he accepted the presidency
of a university and gave his last years
to that work.
