A Potentially of Devilment.

Should Uncle George Tillman
move to Edgefeld and occupy the
Griffin house on the hill, as is now
the rumor, there would be living
within a turkey-yelp of each other
the Nestor of the Edgefeld bar,
the hero of Brandy Station, and
the sage of Clarks Hill. What a
power of political devilment these
three could kick up in Edgefeld
county in 1894, if so minded.
Had Him Down Wrong.
It has been currently reported in
certain sections of the county that
Representative J. H. Edwards
voted during the last session of the
Legislature for the establishment
of Greenwood county. There isn't
a word of truth in the rumor. He
voted the other way every time,
although be had big majority
against him in the House. Mr..
Edwards doesn't object to smaller
counties, but he thinks that in
their establishment some reference
should be had to the shape IN
which the old ones are to be left.
