Republicanism in Edgefeld.
The recent death Of Congressman Maoke
the head and front and brains OF Republ
canism in South Carolina, sets US to thlnl
ing of the old leaders in Edgeheld. Mar
of them are clean gone forever; and Il
surviving ones keep so quiet that we ha'
: even forgotten their names. Absolute
only two names occur to US: Lawren
:. Cain and Paris Simkins. Cain is dyir
of consumption in Columbia. simkins
, living among US, useful, respected, righ
u minded citizen. When one looks ba
now to the times before rs. it seems iii
s a hideous and unnatural dream.
