EDaEFIELD COUNTY SAVED FROM BANK
RUPTcY.-It is not generally known how
much depended upon the cock fight de-
cided last Thursday, besides the amount
OF the published wager. It was authori-
tativeIy stated IN the city yesterday, by
well posted parties, that if Col. Bacon
had lost the main, Edgefcld County,
South Carolina. would have been bank
rupted. The fight was considered by
The people of that County to be an
Edgefeld affair, and every dollar that
could be pulled from the toes of old
stockings, or resurrected from beneath
the hearth stones, was staked upon the
result IF. therefore, DIR. Gee had won
the main, Edge6eld County would have
certainly been dead broke, and would
have had to made application to the
nearest register in bankruptcy, having
jurisdiction, for relief.
