To the Editor of the Advertiser:
Dear Sri have been q silent
admirer of the ADVERTISER for a
long time, and 1 have frequently
thought of writing your vslua-
BILE columns, but somehow. l have
put off the idea from time to
time.
When I arose from my couch
this morning, I noticed that the
sky was overcast with dismal
clouds. soon after that I heard the
gentle patter of rain-drops upon
my window-pane. After [ ate my
breakfast the rain began to come
more steadily and much harder,
and as 1 sat listening to the broken
music of the wind as it sighed
through the pines, the thought
again occurred to me to write q
letter to the ADVERTISER.
I must admit that when I found
that there had been such sudden
change in the temperature, and
saw the excessive gloom of the
weather, I felt terribly dull and
lonesome, but after remembering
the old proverb, Gall sunshine
makes a desert" it became obvi.
GUS to me that if we' never hao

quietly read some good book which
I have neglected for such a while
for want of time, or write letters,
which have several times been put
off until "some more convenient
season." AS I watched the rain
drops forming themselves into
little rills, I thought tomorrow,
mayhap, all this water will have
gone to join larger stream, to en-
large and strengthen it, and the
sun will come out and the world
will be brighter and better by this

Such is life, sunshine one dag aud
shadow the next, and quite natu-
raj for us to expect sunshine to-
morrow. God has created us with
a hopeful disposition, when the
present seems cheerless, often
times, sad, we look forward with
expectancy to crop of bliss, some
sweet day in the near future. We
should look on the bright side of
everything if possible, yet we
must expect some trials. There
is no sunshine however bright but
will cast a shadow just beyond an
object, should you place that OBJ
iect within it's shining circles.
Speaking of sunshine and shad-
ow, reminds me of what I heard
man say once, and he was a godly
man too, he said that he thanked
God for every trial that be had
that each new afliction brought
him nearer his God. If he had no
troubles be would become proud

Redeemer it humbled him and
made him feel more sensibly his
own littleness.

"Men may come, and men may go,
But go on forever,
Merrily singeth the little brook
let,-but
Men may come, and men may go,
But we'll hold on forever,
Defantly say eth Games and Vel
dell, of Greenwood. And verify,
Mr.. Editor, it looks that way.
Nothing seems to have the slight
est impression on these apparent
ly conscienceless despotic usurpers
and arrogant pretenders.
The county papers-the ADvER-
T1sER, the Chronicle and the Mon
itor,-have denounced the moral
turpitude of the "Greenwood gen.
tlemen" as now non-residents of
Edgefeld in holding on to Edge
field Offices to which they were
unfortunately elected whilst they
were citizens of the county.
Many of the leading journals of
the State have denied Gaines and
Yeldell's right legally or morally
to hold said Offices. Sundry cor
respondents, through the county
press, have mercilessly prodded
them, and lashed them, and Will
fed them (if it is possible to do
so,) and made it plain to the world
that their assumed right to hold
the Office of Senator, and member
of the House was altogether
wrong, mean and contemplate,
and legally and morally glaring-
ly unjust to the people of Edge
field.
And Lieut.. Gov. McSweeney,
although he declined to issue the
writ of election to fill Gaines
place, YET he says: "From my
view of the situation 1 think
Edgefeld's Senator should be a
citizen of the county"
And ex-Gov. Sheppard, who
everybody knows is wise in the
law and eminent in this, his pro-
fession, says: "Ga aes has no
right to the Office, and McSweeney
should have issued the writ Of
election"
And in the recent primary elec-
ton, with very brief notice, near
three-fourths OF those voting cast
their ballots against Gaines and
Yeldell.
And yet Mr.. Editor, with all
this accumulation of facts, show
ing that they have no rights in
the premises, and that the people
do not want their services longer,
these men, whose names have be-
come a bye-word and a reproach in
the land, with stole Indifference
as to the rights of the people of
Edgefeld, shut themselves up in
their Greenwood Businesses, and
defantly answer: You .Edgefeld
people can kick, and murmur and
howl as you like, but We will hold
the Offices all the same.
But, Mr.. Editor, the people,
thanking you, Mr.. Wells and 9th
ers for the gallant fight you have
already mace 10 put ooHn tnese

ers, beg that. you will tire not in
the good work. Home Rule is be-
ing trailed in the dust by these
"Greenwood gentlemen" and the
rights of the people are being
wantonly ignored and spit upon.
Therefore, Mr.. Editor, Oh with the
fght-falter not, nor faint not.
And in the end the right sOiH pre-
vou, and the usurpers will be
made to step down and out.
