The Administration Ark.

"De floods dey am ragin'.
De ark is ridin' high,
De beasts am grOwlln' loud,
De lightnin' S flashing in de sky"
About 1889 B. R. Tillman, seeing
signs of coming flood, went to
work to prepare an ark of safety,
wherein he and his family and
various other righteous families,
who had never bowed the knee to
the Columbia ring or paid any
obeisance to the educated and re-
fined aristocracy of the State,
might take refuge and avoid the
coming obstruction. After two
years preaching, this prophet call
ed together men skilled in I'll
sorts of handicraft and he showed
the necessities of building the ark
at once for the floods could be
heard roaring in the distance.
Thereupon those two master work
men, Shell and Irby, came to the
assistance of their friend and they
laid down the plans and specifca-
tion for the ark and designated
the elect who might seek safety
therein. Then there was a rush
of all the beasts from all quarters
of the State and without discrimi-
nation the clean and unclean were
huddled together. They managed
to get on harmoniously because
the storm without warned them
that it would be dangerous 10 leave
the ark. From the high windows
they could see the bodies of ring
sters, aristocrats or best men,
Haskellites and all such floating on
the turbid waters. On account of
fright, caused by such a scene,
they kept quiet and were obedient
to their master. They received
their portion of food and did
little growing.
Meantime many who did not 60 in
the ark at first began to crawl in
the widows and take refuge from
the floods. They were very quiet
at first and skulked!around in dark
corners: but after awhile they be-
came very bold and talked as
though they planned tho ark
originally.
There came day when the
flood became very scarce and the
beasts began to set up a howl be-
cause there was not enough to go
round. They began to prepare to
land the ark. Some of them want
ed to anchor in March, while
others thought it would be safe to
wait till July. So it has come to
pass in these late days that the ark
is not large enough to hold all
who wish to enter and ths feeding
troughs are not long enough for all
to get a taste and they are kicking
and clawing and scratching con-
siderably. The original builders
of the ark have been considering
various plans for keeping it afoat
and at the same time preserving
harmony within its walls. The
indication are that certain unman-
ageble beasts will be thrown over
board and that the ark will keep
floating all right. About the most
interesting spectacle for the next
four months will be the manage
ment of this same ark.

MAI. MARION DORN-.LOSES

Other News.


Other News.
Mr.. EDITOR: No fire was seer
in this neighborhood at half pas
5 o'clock on Sunday morning, Feb
filth, yet the barn, crib, and stables
of Maj. J. NJ. Dorm were in flame:
at 6 o'clock and burned to the
ground in a few minutes. Loss
10000 pounds of hay, 500 bushels
of corn, 6 horses and mules, valued
at $3.50 besides harness, tools, ETC.
Will wonders never cease? Nc
not as long as the devil has full
sweep over this country. Wake
up fellow citizens, have call meet
ings in each township, and eradl-
cate incendiarism from the coun-
try. This would be much better
than politics. I feel satisfied that
this kind of procedure would be
much better to bring about moral
ity and prosperity.
From all that I can learn one Of
the rascals will be arrested to-day.
Would to God that all connected
with this burning could also be
arrested. Think, reader, for a mo-
ment of the cruelty to the poor
horses and mules, all locked up in
different stables, all pcrished with
their faces turned in the same
direction.
No other news except rainy
weather and good health generally.
At least two weddings every
week ii this neighborhood, and
one more marriage tomorrow.
There cannot be many more, for
all the marrying people will soon
have passed away into dibblets ex-
cept myself and two ladies. AS for
myself I am ready and willing to
be sacrificed, and only waiting for
good weather.
To-day is my birthday. My
health is improving, and l shall
and will soon, God willing, return
to my sweet Edge6eld village,
home, sweet home, where and
when I will be surrounded by my
good and we'll tried friends, and
then will resume the practice OF
my profession, particularly my
office practice. The next time l
write to you I will give you more

Southern farmers are in better
shape than for years. That is, they
owe less, are growing more pork
and beef than previously, and
hence the crop of cotton will not
be SO excessive. Diversified crops
has been preached for years by
agricultural writer's, but it takes
hard times to convert the many
skeptical hearers.

Some Folks Don't.
Last week we mentioned some
good things a Methodist preacher
in this county had said about the
disponsary law This week we
have to report what a Baptist
preacher said on the same subject.
He was sitting in store in our
village on a salesday in this year
when looking out upon the crowded
streets he observed that it was re-
markable that there were 80 few
men under the influence of liquor.
He added "Some people don't see
any good in the dispensary law,
but I do" Not many words, to be
sure, but full of meaning.
Ira P. Culbreath.
On last Friday about 3 o'clock
Mr. Ira P. Culbreath died at his
residence in our town, after brief
illness, On Saturday his remains
were taken to his cd home near
Coleman's X Roads, and inferred
in the family burying ground, a
detachment of the Edge6eld Rifles,
of which ne was member, acting
as escort from Edgefeld tn the
final resting place of their de-
parted comrade. Mr.. Culbreath
was universally liked. He was
straightforward and correct in
every relation of life, warm-heart-
ed, generous, noble, a true, and
perfect gentleman. Less than a
year ago be removed to our town
with his family, and his friends
and relations here as well as those
among whom he formerly lived
sincerely mourn his loss. He has
been cut off in the prime of life
and usefulness, and his sudden
death is a terrible blow to the Or
phans who, already bereft of a
mothers loving care, now lose
their father.
