printer anything? If you do, don't
forget to call.and see him.
Seed Cotton.
The seed cotton law is now in
force aud any one buying such
cotton without license is violating
the law.
Edgefeld Hussars.
By order of Capt. S. B. Mays
there will be q meeting Of this
troop at the pavilion on Saturday,
Nov. 3rd.
Contractor Arrives.
Mr.. Friday, the rock-querry con-
tractor, has arrived and will COM
mence operations in few days
with a large force of hands.
Utility VS.. Sentiment.
Our town council, sacrificing
sentiment to utility, have taken
away the park fence and allow it
to be used now as wagon yard,
thus preventing the blocking up of
our streets as was heretofore SO
often the case in fall and winter.
Onion Growing.
Mr.. F. Sidener, who lives on
Butler Hill, General Buffers home,
planted this year one acre in
onions, from which he made sixty
bushels and sold them in Augusta
at $1.25 per burhel. 1t took three
bushels of sets to plant the acre.
An Electric Rock.
We hear of the discovery on Mr..
S. T. Hughes's plantation near
Trenton, of an electric rock and
several springs that, rivalling in
virtue the Hillman Electric Well
in Georgia, are equal to the healing
of the nations.
Gin House Burned.
We regret to hear of the burning
of Mr.. S. M. Smiths clubhouse,
four miles from Edgefeld in the
Harmony section, on Saturday
night last. There were four hun
dred bushels of cotton seed and
ten bales of cotton in the house at
the time all of which was a total
loss, there being no insurance.
The fire was accidental.
Aud Lang Syne.
We publish this week a list of
the three companies that went
from Edgefeld county to the
Florida or Seminole war in 1885.
This list, and the comments on
the departure and incidents of the
departure of these volunteers, are
copied from an old Advertiser of
Feb. 18th, 1886. The names are all
familiar to Edgefeld county peo-
pie, but the gallant gentlemen
themselves have all, with few
exceptions, passed over the river.
Pointed Remarks.
It has been charged against the
-eeleredrace that their preachers
never inveigh aQainst the SINS of
church members, but seek solely
for accessions. That such is not
the case is proved by the following
excerpt from q sermon delivered by
q colored clergyman in "a colored
church not a thousand miles
from Edgefeld: "God has no
respectable persons"-Dis is my
text to night, an sole Marster"
was about half right when he said
desc words, for it do seem to me,
it do BEEN to me, dat in desc days,
of all de ramracking sons of
damnation some of you church
members is gettin' to be de
ramrackinist, You goes furder an
you dives deeper in,o al ] kinds OF
devilment an rascality dan de
worlds people do. You tells more
lies, and bigger lies, an meaner
lies dan dey does, an if you thinks
des dc water is gwine to save you
you, right dar is whar you drapped
your money pus."
Series of Mishaps.
Tom Parks is colored man
who lives in the Horns Greek
country. On last Saturday while
driving from Edgefeld to his
home he was overtaken by the
wind storm which prevailed in
this section on that day. Tom
was driving q. double buggy and
when in front of Mr.. Alb Covar's,
in South Edgefeld, tree was
blown down and fell between the
two horses, breaking the tongue
and just reaching far enough to
split the dashboard, but not
hurting Tom or the horses in the
least. Next day the buggy waa
carried to the shop. While at the
