.plow is manufactured of new kind
of steel, made expressly to our order,
(having experimental for more than
year before we brought it to perfec-

are enabled to make harder mould

to the public.
We feel confident that il will an

felt in some localities for pillow that
will scour. We warrantit TO give
satisfaction, and scour in any soil
that is dry enough to be cultivated.
We areaware that hardened Steel
Plows are often unreliable, buta trial
of this pillow can be made with O
chisel and hammer.
The Mould Board of this plow is
polished before hardening-we do not

tendency to injure the temper, it
will soon become bright itself This
pillow undoubtedly is the very best
pillow ever offered to the farmers in
the west. .-

During the recent discussions in the
Pennsylvania Legislature to strike the
word Uhitc from the Constitution, and on
the Registry Bill, John Hickman, the
Rad. member from Chester said:
II may possibly see the day that I may
walk side by side with colored woman.
I have seen great many colored women
that i would rather walk with than great
many white men. know a great many
negroes who think are better entitled to
vote this moment than great many
white men who do vote, and have long
exercised the franchise. sa
Again he said: @ 81
An intelligent negro is better than an
Irish Catholic and is entitled to VOTE. .
A. G. Reinehl, mongrel, from Lancas-
ter remarked:
sIf Democrats give the right of suf.
frage to foreign paupers to whom spell,
ling book is a sealed mystery, and who
still smell Of bilge water, and fom whose
garments the Celtic aroma oFthe Teu-
tonic fragrance Of the fatheriand has not
yet been removed by the pure air of
freedom, why should not the coffee.col-
ored descendants of the first families Of
the South have voice IN reconstructing
the States of their forefathers.p
Fisher same stripe, from Lancaster,
thought .ls ~
"The Democratic party was composed
of bog -trotting ignorant Irishmen and
swag- bellied lager beer Dutch. s.
Langdon Of the Bradford District re-
marked that rsss ..ss s.
sNegroes wers better entitled TO the
elective franchise than Irishmen."

For the Advertiser.

As "RIDGEwooD" remarks in your issue of
the oath, in regard to EdgcGeld Railroads, the
,cind york has been repeatedly done; yet without
certain amount of ,cind ,oork the necessary
seam will not be generated. The first step to be
taken is to get the people thinking seriously-on
the subject, and convince them that tho project is
not only feasible, but will add directly or indi-
rectly to the comfort of themselves and neghbors.
With due Difference to RIDGEwooDs" views,
I suggest he is in orror in thinking the larger
scheme kills the smaller one. That might be the
case if it depended solely the small population
residing on the shor. road. One of the sugges-
tions made By the writer of,this, was, if it was
found impraeticable to push through tho Aiken
and Ninoty-six Rosd at present, then the loca-
ton of the EdgefelG Branch should hayo some
reference to tho ultimate completion of that Road,
so as to benefit and he benefited by it.
But the building Ct the Aiken and Ninety Six
Road is not work of such stupendous magnitude
as to render its construction impossible, eyenunder
existing circumstances, Should our country be
blessed with propitious seasons the farmers Of
Edgofeld will be next year in a condition to rem
der some assistance. Could the people be aroused
to O sense of tho importance of the enterprise, o
fair proportion Of the Stock Of the Company
might be subscribed in lands, materials and work
It rests with the people of Edgefeld to9tnke the
Initiative. Cooperation and assistance might
then be expected. and. obtained from the various
Railroad lines and Corporations which would
be benefited. 49,.
As stated in their former article, the South
Carolina, Greenvills and Columbia, and Columbia
and Hamburg Railroads, as we'll as the Port Royal
Railroad, and the City of Charleston, are all
deeply interested in the construction of this COM
paratively short link, which would connect ulti-
mately the tceming plains of the West with the
Atlantic Coast. Apart from the assistance these
Corporations could and would render directly,
their influence could be brought to bear on the
Legislature of the State for additional aid, for
this is no merely local cnterprizs, but one which
will affect the interests of thousands. Postponing
action to more favorable season, may loose us
the influence of somo one or more of these Cor
poratious. Now is the time to bid for their assis-
tance, and take the preliminary steps to secure
their aid. Augusta is urging the construction of
Road from Athens, Ca, to Clayton, and if
counteracting influences are not brought to bear,
the Port Royal Road is likely to identify its in
terest with those of the Georgia route. :
