field Branch Railroad Company, gives

pose of organization by the election OF a

Trenton, those Of Aiken, and those OF
Charleston-are named in this notice.

it deserves. If Edgefeld, Trenton, Aiken
and Charleston cannot build q railroad
| of 81 miles-a road that would insure SO
intellectually to tie material prosperity d

comes a scott and q Kissing.

Poor Old Mrs. Carpenter.

Old Mrs. Milly Carpenter, Of the OLD
Wells section, the oldest woma in Edge

Inexuressibly Painful and Shocking

To most of the people Of Edge6eld and
Johnston, and their respective vicinltles,
the details of young Foy's accusations
against Mrs. Ida Vaughan, are already
we'll known, but TO the great majority OF
the citizens of E;lgeield they will come
this week with an unexpected shock and
;nexpressible pain. On Sunday morning
we found these accusations in Geographic
form IN the Charleston News and Courier;
and in this form we have transferred them
10 the Advertiser. Subsequently, Mrs.
Vaughan has sent us the prompt and EN-
phatic denial which stands in another col
unn. And as for ourselves. until the con-
trary is proved, we shall believe what she
saws.

Which is the Nobler ?

On Sunday morning last, the first Sab.
bath of the year, and so bright and mild
and beautiful as to arouse thankfulness in
the breasts of even brutes and dumb
beasts, we were inexpressibly gratifed to
see the young men Of our community,
generally, in the house of God. On this
lovely and blessed day, the decorators
were few; SO few indeed as to stand out in
hold and unenviable relief. And which is
the nobler-even putting vital riety out
of the question-which is the more man
ly, the more dignifed, the cleaner, the
purer, the more considerate Of private
and public virtue, the more respectful to-
wards mother, wife, sister, daughter-te

spend the holy day in lettering pitifully
about the streets and public square, drink
ing whiskey, uttering oaths. and talking
vice, gaming and RIGHTEOUSNESS Which
the nobler, whichthe more manly? Love
God if you can, young mainly with
your whole heart land if you cannot do
this, at least respect public decency and
guard female purity sufficiently to cease
this open dissertation of the Sabbath. We
shall continue to exhort the young men
of our community, most of whom we
have known intimately from their cradles;
and we beg them to believe that we do it
in earnest and hu able love, not in dog
matte arrogance. Things are transporting ev
cry month in Edgeield which cry aloud 10
preachers and journalists to do their whole
duty in the way Of warming. Things which
cry aloud to every pure woman to watch
well her own ways and the ways of The men
with whom she associates. This very issueo Of
the advertiser chronicles an affair which
should cause every Waterman, Old and
young, to rush at once to the top OF his
tower, and give a loud alarm. The time
has inevitably come for people to look
around them and think. We shall continue
to exhort our young men to cease Z
Grating the Sabbath an & them
again to believe that we do it IN love.
As for the elderly men who habitually
desecrate the Sabbath, at the same time
that we exhort them, we ask from them
no indulgence. They deserve the utmost
scatbings hat car be hurled at them by
the pulpit, by the press, or by virtuous
women. And God help them in the final
day

Is it not significant that the only two
measures that the Legislature passed in
the interest of the p;ople were the two
resolutions introduced by General Gary
one endorsing our representative in Con-
gvess, Hon. NJ. P. O'Connor, in his res.
~olution to permit National Banks to loan
their money upon real estate, and the
other looking after the interest OF the
State in its lien on the Greenvllle and Co.
umbia Railroad. These were the onl y
two measures in which u people had
any interest. The rest OF the proceedings
were in the interest Of the huge corpora

defy the authority OF the State, and so
rich as to corrupt the representatives. of
