Memorial Day-LetI 1T Be Observ
ed in Edgefield.

Mr.. EDITOR: I notice in the
papers that a number of our South
ern cities and towns have already
observed memorial day, and the
question naturally arises will
Edgefeld allow this year to pass
without publicly doing honor to
the memory of her Confederate
dead? in times past she ha. re-
membered and celebrated in suita-
bic services, with floral offerings
and loving hearts, the deeds of her
departed heroes.
Is the spirit that actuated such
observances dying in this town
and county? Recent years would
indicate that it is. This should
not be, and I charge and call upon
our noble women to see to it that
a part of next Wednesday, the
10th inst, be set apart and de-
voted to this holy purpose. 1t is
a work of patriotic love and be-
longs peculiarly to them. With
out meaning to appear oficious
allow me to suggest, that the ladies
of the town surrounding country,
and county, if possible, meet at
the Methodist Church on next
Friday afternoon, the 9TH inst,
and make such arrangements for
the observance of the day as their
good taste and judgment may
dictate. Prior to decorating the
graves, let meeting be held in
the Baptist Church at which let
some one be invited to deliver all
address; and extend an invitation
to all IF the military companies of
the county to attend. The cause
is indeed sacred one, and let old
Edgefeld observe the day in a
manner worthy of the memory of
her gallant sons who gave their
lives to their oountry's cause.
A LOVER OF The CAUSE.

The Philosophers Stone, Pay as
You Go-Keep Your Expenses
Down Below Your Income.

Mr.. EDITOR: The following
seems to be the regular schedule
of many farmers in Edgefield
county from year to year without
change:
First, in March or April they go
down to the village to make ar
raugements with The Farmers
Bank or The Edgefeld Bank to get
enough money to run them during
The year, giving endorsements or
mortgage and liens to secure pay
ment. For this money borrowed
they pay II per cent. interest, more
interest than they can make on
their farms with their shiftless
way of managing them.
Well, having secured their
money they return home with
their little one-horse or two-horse
wagons loaded with bacon, corn,
-four, and syrup, all of which they
could have made at home for less
than it costs them. Having reach
ed home they unload, cock their
legs up against the side of the
house, and the old woman cooking.
eat and eat and eat, sending the
niger to the field to work, who
plants, works and gathers in his
own trifirg way; and so it con-
tinues until the gathering season,
when, having picked and ginned a
couple of bales of cotton he goes
down to Edgefeld and settles up
his note at the bank, or part, as
the case may be. Makes a little
corn, perhaps enough to run him
till planting time, and SO 1T goes
from year to year, no change or
shadow of turning.
How easy to remedy all this, by
sowing oats early in the fall on
good land, and planting plenty OF
corn in March or April. / am a
one-legged Confederate soldier, but
have never failed to make some
thing over and above a living
every year, never very much, but
always something.
The secret of success in farm
ing is first, to make provisions for
family and stock then as much
cotton as possible; second, to keep
your expenses below your income
if only one cent. You may find it
hard to do for the first year, but
after that it is easy and gets to be
a habit. The difference is just
this: The man who makes ten
dollars and spends nine dollars and
ninety-nine cents is contented and
happy; the man who makes ten
dollars and spends ten dollars and
one cent is miserable.
Pay as you go and if you can't
pay don't 90.

Mr.. EDITOR: The farmers here
are all engaged on their farms,
planting cotton, and working out
their corn which is growing finely.
Grain is looking well considering
the dry and windy weather we
have had for a month past, When
will the much needed rain come?
Capt. A. ]. Permenter says he is
going in for hog and hominy this
year, and raise cotton as a surplus
to fall back on. / am somewhat
like the CAPTAIN: I believe the
man that doesn't raise plenty of
corn and meat will get left. You
will have to beg somebody to buy
your cotton next fall.

How to Make it Rain.

Dan Brunson told Capt. DuBose
on Saturday last, that ''he heard a
cock-partridge whistle Bob White
after sun-down of the night be-
fore, Friday, and it will be raining
before day cracks on Tuesday
morning" Sure-enough it rained
on Monday night. Capt. DuBose
is now a convert of Dams and
wants to catch that partridge, cage
him, and twist his tail and make
him whistle Bob White when rain
is needed. Dan says, furthermore,
that "it generally takes three days
for partridge to bring rain, more
or less, however, according to the
dryness Of the drought"
Edgefield Oil Mill.
The Edgefeld Oil Mill property,
sold on Monday of this week,
brought $4,000. It was bought
by the judgment creditors, D. A..
Tompkins & Co., oe Charlotte, N.
c., who, we have been informed,
will continue to operate it as be-
fore the sale. The history of this
plant may begiven in a few words:
1t cost, approximately, ground,
buildings, and machinery, $4,000.
Of this amount $4,000 was SUBJ
scribed by Edgefeld, $1,000 by
Charleston, and $1,000 by outside
parties. This made a cash SUBJ
scription of $4,000, which was
expended for the land and build
ings. The machinery, costing
about $4,000, was not paid for,
and for this debt the property was
sold. The mill has been in opera
tion for three seasons, go, '91, and
'92, under the presidency of A. ].
Norris, Esq. The first and second
year it paid all expenses, and the
last year, not only paid expenses,
but also, a dividend of 10 per cent.
on the capital stock.

Mr.. EDITOR: The farmers Of
this section are moving on very
nicely, almost through planting
A large corn crop has been plant
ed. We had e nice shower of rain
on the night of the goth ult., but
the high wind the day following
soon dried off the land, and grain
is needing it now almost as badly
as ever.
The writer made e flying visit to
Newberry two weeks ago, and saw
some fine fields of wheat. Some OF
the farmers had cotton up, and
some just putting it in.
Mr. D. Riley has two fields OF
very fine wheat.
The Second Quarterly Confer
ence for the saluda Circuit con-
vened at old Bethany on the 4th
Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Mr..
Campbell, the Presiding Elder,
preached three able sermons. On
Saturday morning he preached
from 1 Sam. 1877. Sunday morn
ing his text was: ga little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump" ne
compared "a little leaven" to a
little sin leading on to greater.
Sunday evening he preached from
the text: "The way of the trans
gressor is hard" The church was
crowded, and every one enjoyed
his excellent sermons. An old
gentleman who had been both q
Baptist and Presbyterian said they
were the best he ever heard.

Mr.. EDITOR: After experiencing
the hustling of last weeks wind,
which was rival for the Asiastic
simeon, we were in hopes that we
would have some rain, but, alas,
we were disappointed, and now the
clouds have left for parts unknown,
and sunshine and dust have blend
ed togsther and we have to do the
best we can.
Farm work is coming to a stand
still. Some are done planting,
and some just started.
Rev. N. N. Little preached at
Mine Creek on Sunday last.
Mr.sC. C. Lewis's school at Pine
Grove closed on Saturday last.
There was a large crowd out, and
it was a grand feast, Intellectually
and otherwise, to attend it. The
morning exercises were a general
review of the whole sessions work.
The books which were reviewed
were as follows: Arithmetic,
Grammar, Geography, and His
tory. The classes did exceedingly
we'll. They demonstrated that in
every particular they had been
trained we'll by their teacher, and
had been at their posts regularly.
After about four hours at the class
bench they were dismissed for
noon. Another such a hustling
around for baskets! and never
saw better repast served on such
an occasion. Everybody was well
pleased, and no one in a rush.
In the afternoon they had a con-
test for the Demorest gold medal,
and other speeches of note. The
afternoon was opened by Mr.. c. L.
Temples, who made a speech On
"Jimmie Butler" an Irish boy,
which was very laughable and en-
tanning.
Then came the contest. Miss

Mr.. EDITOR: On Friday even
ing, April 2Sth, the writer accom-
panied by three Edgefeld boys,
witnessed the closing exercises of
the Fruit Hill High School. We
left the village about6 o'clock and
after two hours drive reached the
beautiful little building. A stage
had been erected just on the out
side, handsomely decorated with
all kinds of evergreens and flowers
of almost every variety, together
with numbers of lovely lanterns.
We regret exceedingly that we
cannot publish the programme,
but due to our 1eglect we failed to
secure one. While this is true we
can truthfully say, Miss Cogburn,
the anlable and accomplished
teacher, deserves great credit and
praise for the elegant taste dis
played in arranging this enter
tainment. In all of our experience,
we have never before seen such a
multitude of beautiful and intelli-
gent little girls, and the boys,
some of them almost young men,
acted their parts perfectly, and
we wish for them, as we see their
handsome faces before us, all the
success possible in their future
undertakings.
The exercises were concluded by
singing "God be with you till we
meet again." by the entire school.
After which a collection was taken
up for the benefit of the band,
after this we enjoyed a very pleas
Gnt but short reception.
One of our favorites was very
highly entertained by the sweet
music of alittle Bird. We Judge
they often sing on moonlight
nights.

SUPERIOR COURT.


The October civil term was opened
Tuesday morning and then adjourned
until October 23d, as the business of the
September term will occupy the most OF
next week.
The trial of Rev Delbert Donnocker for
rape has been postponed until Thursday
morning at ten O'Clock.
State VS.. John J Twigg, appellant: The
respondent appealed from the Municipal
court on complaint for the illegal trans
portation of Intoxicating liquor.
The officers were out in Deering for the
purpose of searching suspected place
when they saw Twigg and one Nally drive
by with a wagon load of jugs. The
officers gave chase, and after running
their horses for two miles the boys horse
gave out. They abandoned the team and
took to the field with the sheriff in pur-
suit. They caught Twigg, but Nally, got
away and was not arrested until days
afterwards. Nally filed a demurrer.
Young Twigg claimed at the trial that
he had no interest in the liquor, and was
not assisting in the transportation. That
he was invited by Nally to take a ride
with him, which invitation he accepted
without knowing Nallys errand. Verdict
guilty. Motion in arrest OF Judgment
filed.
