Our Communications.
A column of county correspondence
will be found on our outside this week.
aSure Pop Phyllis, co." are their
respective noms de plume. The balance
of our correspondence is on the inside.
An Edgefield Boy,
Rev. A. w. Lamar, a Beech Island
Edgeleld boy, has been called to the
pastorate of the first Baptist church

Death of Mr.. Manget.
Mr.. S. Ii. Manget, of Trenton, died
at his home on last Wednesday, and
was buried the following day at Edge
field by tht knights of Honor. All
Edgefield turned out to do honor to
her former citizen. Mr.. Manget left
wife and one son.
Goats Versus Sheep.
The sheppardites having been called
sSheep" Democrats by the Columbia
Register, the Greenville News and The
State, to retaliate. dub the Tillmanites
.Goat" Democrats. Apropos of this
nomenclature, Mr.. Pearce Stevens, of
Eulala, says that goats can live on
pine tops and butt the sheep ot the
bridge every day in the year.
Ten to One.
Our correspondent, 3One Gallus."
SAYS in communication herewith,
that "Tillman will beat Sheppard ten
to one in Gray township. We dis
trusted the judgment of "One Gallus"
until we made personal investigation,
after which we became satisfied that
he is correct-Gray township has a
voting strength of 250, of these Gov.
Sheppard will receive Is votes.
Not Permissible.
Scurrilous attacks upon candidates
will find no place in the columns OF
the ADVERTISER during the campaign
of 1892. 1t must not be supposed that
because this paper supports Tillman
that it will permit its columns to be
used for such kind of attacks upon his
competitor. Legitimate criticism, sar-
casm, ridicule, severe wordy castlsa-
tion is all right if it doesn't degenerate
into dissection of personal character
and peculiarities, but when it gets
that low down we must call halt.
Acreage Reduced.
From all we can gather by inter-
views with farmers, and our own
knowledge, we have come to the con-
clusion that the decrease in acreage OF
cotton to be planted in Edgeheld
county will be 80 per cent, and that
the decrease in fertilizers will be
still greater per cent. The sale OF
hules in EdgeHeId this season hasn't
been half what it was last year. All
these facts indicate that the farmer is
going slow. 1t may be because ne
can't do otherwise, but he is certainly
going it slow-like Dan pur'foy's
yearling.
The Game Law.
For the benefit of those interested
we publish below the game law that is
now in force in this State: "lt shall
not be lawful for any person in this
