High School.

| sha' ~

a period of nine months? Think
then, Trustees, is it not of the ut
most importance that Edgefield
shall have a school inferior to
none in our State2 For Edgefeld,
the county seat, the leader in eve
rything else of Importance, to be
without fine school, is glaring
shame and q disgrace to every cItl-
izen. Have we not given your the
authority to elect a teacher for
our children?
You should feel that on each one
of you rests a great responsibility,
on you rests, in a great measure,
the training both morally aid in
tellectuallY, of our young people.
So it behooves every member of
youl board to be present, respond.
ing to the call both in spirit and
person. Arouse your sleeping en-
ergies and be awake to dutY's call.
We say we live in a progressive
age. Teaching does not lag be-
hind, nor indeed must it, but on
the contrary has made greater
strides than almost any other
science. Give us then no "grown
up teacher" but one who is ever
reaching higher and pressing Oh
keeping up with the times, giving
his whole time and mind to the
business of educating, and not
making it secondary matter, or
a kind of side issue. When you
remember that our boys and girls
shall one day be the men and Wo-
men, the rulers of our land, 80
cially, morally and politically.
You should bestir yourselves to
equip them for their worldly COM
bat by giving them the very best
teacher available.
"Remember "tis education
forms the common mind, just as
the twig is bent the trees inclined"
l am sure you will agree with me
that we should bend our twigs
Alright, that Edgefeld should give
her sons and daughters the op-
portunity, equal to any, of enter
ing the wide field of learning open
now before us, and not have her
future leaders curse you for hand
ling their rights in a careless Or a
selfish manner while acting as
their Trustees, and thereby caus'
ing their unftness to rival even
the smallest town in the State
Wake up, be present at your meet,
ing, nor hold up your heads until
you have given US a teacher who
will secure to Edgetiel6 the schoo!
which she deserves and one Of
which her citizens will not be
ashamed.

EOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand for twenty-four
hours; a sediment settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
uuent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are ou; of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fultills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times durings the night to
urlnate. The mild and tine extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail. Men
tion the ADVERTISER and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer g. Co., Bing-
hamton, n. Y. The proprietor of this
paper guarantees the genuineness of
this offer.

and was elected, after the expira-
ton of his term of office as Gov
ernor. Ex-Gov. Bonham, whose
long and faithful service to the
people entitled him to the high
position which he held in their
estimation, was a candidate for
the House of Representatives., after
the expiration of his term OF Office
as Governor. 1 could recite nu-
merous similar cases. Mr.. John
Tyler, was President Of the United
States, after the expiration of his
term of office, accepted the office
of magistrate in his county, when
he was made to believe that his
services in that office were desired
by his people.
Whenever o man becomes so
elevated in his own estimation that
be is unwilling to serve the people
in any capacity in which his SER

unworthy Of their support for any
office to which he might aspire.

In One Day:
Card from Ex-Gov. Sheppard.

MI. EDITOR: I have been absent
from home for sometime, therefore
did not until this day, see the
communication in your issue of
last week, signed by Enquirer"
I would have no disposition to as
sumo that enquirer" has reference
to me in his statement, that he
recognizes "the whole matter as
emanating from a mere coterie of
lawyers and courthouse politi-
cians;;" but as he further, in his
article, makes direct reference to
myself, I deem it my duty 10 no.
tice the article briefly.
T desire to state specifically
that I neither wrote, nor inspired,
nor had anything to do with the
writing, of any article that has
been published in reference to the
right of Senator Gaines and MIR.
Yeldell to hold their seats in the
General Assembly; and | desire
to say further, that I do not know,
and have not heard, who wrote
any one of the said articles, except
the one which was signed by the
writer thereof. I hope that this
statement will relieve me from the
suspicion that Mr.. Enquirer"
seems to entertain; and that 1t
will satisfy the people OF the
county that have had nothing te
do with the matter.
I will state further that l an
not a candidate for the State Sen
ate, and do not know that l VII
ever be; but I have no hesltatlof
in saying, in reply to "Inqulrer's,
question, sis it not a little unusn'

the people of Edgefeld. and Yel-
dell's plea that if he resigns the
position as Representative from
Edgefeld that Greenwood will not
be represented in the House, is
weak and tlimsy, if not hypocriti-
cal on his part, and 10 concern OF
ours.
Because-If Yeldell had been
elected Clerk of Court for Green
wood county, in April last, or ap-
pointed State Liquor Commission
er, he would not have cared a
farthing whether Greenwood or
EdgeGeld either were represented
in the House.
Because-It is not right, legal
or moral, for Gaines and Yeldell
to be residents of Greenwood coun-
ty and pretend they have a right
to hold Edgefeld offices.
Because-The refusal of Gaines
and Yeldell to Tacate their Edge
field Offices is a wrong upon the
rights of the people, and these So
called officials should be regarded
as tyranical usurpers-if not "po-
litical renegades."
Because-Gaines and Yeldell
promised the people that when
Greenwood county assumed full
countyhood they would resign
as Senator and Representative
from Edgefeld and they ought
now to make their promise good.
And Because-It is conceded by
all that it is not right that our
Offices should be filled by aliens
and therefore this grlevous wrong
ought to be remedied at once by
electing residents of Edgefeld to
office in place of Games and Yeldell
of Greenwood, regardless of the
expense of another election aad the
pretended annoyance of the peo-
pie.

'ature, Or"

shows that the Legislature had
made no new apportionment of
representatives, and that Green
wood county, were he to resign,
would be without proper represen-
tation in the House of Represen-
tatives. He also claims that he
too had been solicited by many
prominent citizens not to resign.
And I have read your cores
pondents "Justice" and "Enquir-
err" and find that they are both in
favor of NIe.srs. Gaines and Yel-
dell remaining in Office, but these
writer's offer no evidence or argu-
ment, legal or moral, 70 make il
appear that the gentlemen have a
right 10 live in Greenwood county
and hold an Edgefeld office.
Now, on the ''get out" side of
the question, notice that our
three county papers, and promi-
nent daily papers of Columbia
and Charleston, and many weekly
papers throughout the State,
(from extracts published IN the
ADVERTISED to say nothing OF
your correspondents cred Hill"
Home Rule "Fair Play" and
others, are all outright in favor of
the immediate resignation OF
Me3,rs. Gaines and Yeldell, and
some v!e item argue very conclu,
si7ely Oh that line.
Aud from all I have seen and
read I am firmly of the opinion
that Senator Gaines and Repre-
sentative Yeldell, both of Green
wood, have no right legal, or moral
to hold their Edgefeld offices an
hour longer.
Because-The Constitution says
"The Senate shall be composed Of
one member from each county
Gaines is not from Edgefeld conn'
ty but from Greenwood county
Because-Greenwood county, il
April last, legally elected one Sen
ator-and no county can have too
Senators. Therefore Gaines can.
not 90 to Columbia as the Senator
from Greenwood county.
Because-The Constitution says
that no person shall be eligible tc
seat in the Senate or House Of
Representatives, who, at the time
OF his election, ls not qualified
elector in the county in which he
may be chosen" Gaines and Vel
dell have ceased to be "qualifiec
electors" in Edgefeld county
and therefore not elegidIe to 8
seat II the Senate or House as
Senator and Representative from
Edgefeld.
Because-Greenwood county no
having authority as yet to elect it,
own Representatives, is no fault o.

A Plain, Unbiased View OF The
Gaines and Yeldell
EmbrOgliO.


Mr.. EDITOR: I have watched
with considerable interest, and
week by week with increasing con-
cern, the spirited discussion going
on in your paper, pro and con, IN
reference to the propriety or right
of Senator Gaines aud Represen-
tative Yeldell, now of Greenwood
county, holding the offices of SEN
ator and Representative for Edge
field county any longer.
Now, 1 know both of these gen.
tlemen we'll, and have long enter
taiued the kindest feelings and
very high regard for each of them
personally. But I take it that
they are not being discussed Oh
their personal merits, but as re-
CARDS their public or official posi-
ton and conduct, because the peo-
ple claim the right to criticize
and approve or condemn the pub
lie acts of all public men-that
they are the masters and the Of
fce-holders are the servants, and
that for their official acts they are
always amenable to the people.
But in this case Messrs. Gaines
and Yeldell are not really amena-
BILE to the people, inasmuch as
they reside in another county, be-
yond the reach of the people of
Edgefeld, and they act officially
as they see proper, with utter in
difference to the wishes or inter-
ests of our people, knowing that
hereafter they need have no con-
Germ as to the approval or disap-
proval of the people or voters OF
Edgefeld. And this l regard q
very ugly feature IN the premises
where the servant is not amena'
BILE to the master. For where the
master has not the proper re-
straining authority over the ser
want, the latter very frequently
soon becomes an untrustworthy
and worthless servant.
Mr.. Gaines, OF Greenwood, IL
his communication explanatory
OF his position and conclusions il
the matter, takes the ground tina
he is legally entitled to act as Sen
ator for Edgefield for the tul
term-and thinks that his vaca
ting the office would entail upol
the people much unnecessary e1
