Edgefield's Marshals.
Our. Edgefeld marshals deserve
great credit for their efforts in pre-
serving good order on last Thursday,
and their acts are praised alike by both
factions for the impartiality shown.
Whiskey Candidates.
Those candidates who are making
practice of carrying whiskey to church
and treating with it, had better. look
out, as by'so doing they make three
enemies to. one friend. 1t is both poor
morals and poor policy.
Competitive Examination.
On next Monday, July lsths there
will be a competitive examination in
the courthouse at this place for
q scholarship in Converse College.
This scholarship includes tuition only,
board to be paid by the beneficiary.
Washington Township.
We commend to our readers the reso-
lntions of Washington township
Democratic Club published in this
issue. Every club in the county should
pass just such resolutions, so as to give
the lie to those who have charged that
there was, or is, any Third partyism in
old Edgefeld.
Remarkable Potatoes.
Mr.. T. @. Lanham has presented us
with some Irish potatoes that show
remarkable growth. Owing to the long
wet spell they have sprouted and taken
a second growth, making smaller pota-
toes in cluster all around the mother
potato. This is certainly one year
when the husbandman, cannot COM
plain of failure in the garden truck.
Meriwether and Hibler.
The Edgefeld county aantis" had, in
the beginning Of this campaign
fighting chance in only two townships
out of the whole number Of townships
in the county-those two townships
were Meriwether and Hibler, the first
named sthe birthplace and home OF
Tillman, and the second the birthplace
and home of Sheppard. We are able
to announce that these two townships
will both go for Tillman beyond any
doubt.
The Day at Sand Ridge.
At a meeting Of Alliancemen at
Sand Ridge, on Saturday, the 9th inst,
notable speeches were made by Presly
QUITS, DR.. Price Zimmerman, Maj. j..
Walton, and u II. Edwards, Esq,
the last named, q candidate for the
Legislature. Mr. Edwards's speech
was so well received as to have cap
tnred even the few aantis" that live in
that vicinity. 1t was temperate,
thoughtful, and well delivered.
The Clarion Tongued Watson.
Col. r. B. Watson, the s;lver-tongued
orator of all Edgefield, adheres stead
fastly to his original declaration not to
run for any Office, Notwithstanding
the pleadings of his friends, and their
name is legion. However, his voice
will not be silent, bnt will be heard
ever and anon during the progress Of
the campaign, and always for Tillman
and Reform. Col. Watson's presence
would grace any deliberative body and
very many hope that he will yet con-
sent feserve his district in the National
halls, and at no distant day.
A New Trick.
The latest trick of the santis" to WIN
votes in Edgefeld county, is to circu-
late the reports that Mr.. So and So,
Col. W., Maj. B., etc, all ardent Till
NANTES, have abandoned the Tillman
camp and are converts to Sheppardism.
These tales are told to Tillmanites in
order to indnce them to do likewise.
But if you trace these reports up, you
will find there is not word Of truth
in them, ard that on the contrary MIR,
So and So, Col. W., and Maj. B. still
muster in the Tillman ranks and e1-
pect to do so until the c-o-w-s
Come home.
Another Dibble Scheme.
Another scheme of the 3antis" to
change votes is this: Every anti is in.

friends, and work on them in every
way he can to change them to Shep.
