THE RESULT IN EDGaEIELD.

This is Wednesday, and before we go
to press we have made it our duty to
converse with precinct managers from
all sections. And we have learned
enough to know that Edgcficld men have
done, as they always do, their whole
duty. Every white MAJ entitled to vote,
from 81 years of age to lO0-the strong,
the weak, even the be%dridden-has been
present at the polls to cast his ballot for
Hampton and the Democratic ticket.
And besides this, the negroes are at
last distinctly seeing the error of their
former ways and arc now standing
bravely and sensibly by the Democratic
banner; and whilst not more than l25 or
$50 of them voted at the village precinct,
throughout the County there was quite
a general colored vote, most of them
voting the straight.out Democratic ticket.
Consequently, with our fullest white
vote and this handsome co.ored vote, old
Edgelield may in 1878, as in 1876, again
be proclaimed the Banner County-'the
best voting County in the State"

THE NATIONAL SCOURGE.

1t is estimated that the annual
damages caused by the ravages Of
insects and worms exceed Sl50,000,-
900 in the United States alone:
Truly an enormous loss! Yet it sinks
into insignificance when compared
with the ravages Of that more terri
BILE scourge, Consumption, which
annually sweeps hundreds of thou
sands OF human souls into eternity.
The causes of consumption are
various, depending in every instance
for the development OF the disease
upon the scrofulous diathesis. or
temperament, Of the victim. Thus
the same cause which will produce in
one person an attack Of acute disease
or a slight nervous prostration, will
engender consumption in a person Of
scrofulous habit. That consumption
can be cured by proper treatment
will be readily perceived when the
exact nature of the disease is under.

deposition Of s~crofulous matter
(tubercles) in the lungs. Obviously,
The principal remedies required are
CD a powerful Alternative, or blood
purifier, to arrest the accumulations
and also cleanse the blood of the
scrofulous matter, and (2) a mild

from the system. This course of
treatment. in con junction with a~strict
hygienic regime, has proved the most
successful method Of curing this
disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are the best alternative and
cathartic remedies before the public,
and have been alone used in thoL!:
sands of cases of consumption with
the most marked efficacy. Dr..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo.
N. Y, affords special and unequaled
advantages to consumptives, not only
possessing the best medical and hygiI
enic means of treatment, but having
the essential advantage of being
situated in a climate where the in
habitants are notably free from this
disease.

A CARD.

In the last issue of the Advertiser a
certificate was published over our sigma
lures, to the effect that the meeting which
elected Mr.. A. w. Lynch as Principal of
the Johnston High School, for the pres
ent year, was unanimous, and mentioned
the names of w. G. Kernaghan, J w.
Calhoun and William Lott as present
and voting for Mr.. Lynch, which certiti
cate is true but it should have gone on
and stated that the gentlemen named
objected to a mixed school, and stipu-
lated that the male and female depart
ments should be separated, which was
not done These gentlemen feel that in
making this unintentional assertion, we
reflected OF them as having acted in bad
faith with Mr.. Lynch, which was very
far from our intention, as we have the
highest regard for all of them as our
personal friends.

Profanity.

We are emphatically in the aye Of profan.
ity, and it seems to US that we are on the
topmost current. One cannot 60 on the
streets anywhere without having his ears
offended with the vilest of words, and his
reverence shocked by the most profane use
of sacred names. Nor does it come from the
old or middle-aged alone, for it is o fact, as
alarming rs true, that the younger portion
of the community are most proficient in the
degrading language. Boys have On idea it
is smart to swear; that it makes them
manly; but there never was a greater mis-
take in the world. Men, even those who
swear themselves, are disguised with profan-
ity in n young man, because they know how,
of all bad habits, this clings the most closely
and increases with years. 1t is the most
insidious of habits, growing on so inyisibly
that almost before one is aware he becomes

Climates 70 Order.

The project to food the desert land of
Egypt, thus creating a great inland sea,
and restoring the fruitfulness of sterile
places, is not likely to be carried into effect
very soon, but it has suggested the posi-
bility of making climates to order, and the
people Of Canada are now considering a
plan to warm themselves by removing a
potent source of cold weather. Atpresent
they overcome cold weather by burning
fuel, but the fuel can be saved if they re-
move the cause which makes the weather
cold, and that is what Captain Graham,
of the Allan line of steamships, proposes
to do. He finds the chief cause of the
ccld climate of Canada in the stream Of
ice-laden water from the Northern seas,
which sweeps its shores, and he proposes
to defect this stream by closing the Straits
of Belle Isle with an immense breakwater
The straits separate Newfoundland from
Labrador, and, if closed, the northern
current, instead of sweeping into the Gulf
of St. Lawrence, would be carried off into
the Atlantic Ocean, guided by the shore
line of Newfoundland. The straits are
eight miles wide and thirty fathoms deep,
so that there would be plenty of work to
be done in closing them, but the material
to build breakwater has been delivered
by nature on the adjoining coasts, and
could be advantageously used for such
purpose. Captain Graham thinks that this
DETECTION of the Polar current would have
4 remarkable effect on the climate and
fruitfulness of provinces and islands Dor
dering on the Gulf of ST. Lawrence, but
does not pursue the subject Of other
changes in ocean meteorology resulting
from the changed direction of the current
Other folks are to look out for themselves.
