Admitted to the Bar.
Mr.. NJ. P. Wells, of Edgefeld,
was admitted to the Bar last week
by the supreme court of the state,
after passing amost rigid and
thorough examination by that
august body. Lawyer Wells will
probably settle at Edgefeld, where,
in the past, SO many giants have
met in the legal arena.
Satan Worked in 'Em.
During the late revival services
in our Methodist church, Mr..
Smith, after one of his sermons,
went down into the congregation
to talk, as was his custom, to the
people concerning their souls well
fare. He approached a pew in
which there were three young men,
supposed to be journeying on the
broad road that leads to destruc-
tion. Upon being abjured to turn
from their sinful ways, however,
one of them remarked that he was
already a member of the Baptist
church and had lively hope of
walking the golden streets. The
second one said he was deacon
in the Baptist church, and the
third asserted that he was study
ing for the Baptist ministry. Mr..
Smith finding himself on cold
trail moved on, but found out af-
terwards that there was not word
of truth in all the young men had
said, and in subsequent sermon
gave them away, declaring that
"they knew they were lying and
he knew they were lying at the
time" Now, who we're these three
young men2 The ADVERTISER is
to offer a suitable re-
ward for their names with proof
to convict, said names to be black
listed and sent on to President
Cleveland SO that they may never
hold Office, not even a fourth class
post Office.
Mrs. Elizabeth Haynsworth Mil
Ter.
This Christian gentlewoman,
we'll known in Edgefield and a
of the Edge6eld Baptist
church, died on the 18TH of May
inst, at the home Of her youngest
daughter in Brooks County Geor-
gia, aged eighty-two years. Mrs.
Miller was a native of Sumter
County and was born near the
High Hills of Santee. Her father
Was DR.. James Haynsworth of that
county and her husband the late
Col. G. w. Miller. Born to az
huence and reared i'll luxury, with
all her associates and environ
ments of the society world, she
at an early age cast in her lot with
the people of God and, leaving the
church of her parents because
she believed it right to do so,
united with the High Hills Bap-
tist church, the church of the first
Dr.. Richard Furman, a church that
in those days was like light set
Dr. a hill to all the Baptist
shurchesin South -Carelina.-That
deceased was faithful to the end,
q membership of sixty odd years
testifes. In her last moments she
gave abundant evidence that the
faith she had lived by was the
faith to die by. Her last words
we're, 81 am not afraid, the Sa-
vior is waiting for me-" Glorious
hope! A joyous transition! A
resurrected saintl
Uncle Benefits Way.
Seeing in the ADVERTISER two
weeks ago how Clemson College
made a second crop of Irish pota-
toes Uncle, Bennett Holland
brought us in a basket of this
years crop of his own raising, and
told us how he made two crops of
Irish potatoes every year. ,"Seven-
teen years ago, this spring." said
he, 81 planted a crop of Irish po-
tatoes in the usual way. lowered
them deep with pine straw. When
grabbing time came, l grabbed
never dug, but always grabbed
when 1 wanted potatoes, and never
taking all from a hill. Late in the
summer Iput more pine straw on
them and in this way secured a fall
crop. Again in spring I put on
more pine straw. This mode I've
been repeating for seventeen years
and have never planted a potato
since the first year. I always have
an abundance of good sized pota-
toes in the spring and fall. Of
course the potatoes come up much
thicker now than they did at the
first planting, they are scattered
all over the bed, in fact, but as
they are never worked this doesn't
make any difference. 1t is really
an advantage as you get more po-
tatoes. By this method you can
hardly have them too thick.
