or mar the glorious
Edgefeld has made and 1 hope
will We, make in the history of our
beloved State.
The death of Senator Earle is in
truth misfortune; dignified and
courtly in manner; talented and
patriotic, he was the man for the
occasion, but we hope his success
or will be able to fill his place.
McLaurin's appointment is a good
one, none better.
Now is it net strange that in this
day of progress Edgefield is still
in the slough of despond with her
roads, in winter perhaps the mean
est in the world? We hear of con-
ventions held for different things,
but if any practical plan has ever
yet been proposed for the MAIN
tenance of good roads. 1 have yet
to hear of it. In Richmond county
Georgia, is the best system OF
road working I know of. Can't we
learn from our neighbors? 'Tls
not far, just across the river, Judge
Eve could give us some points.
Now about our sweet-scented
dispensary, is it not time to dis
pense with the whole thing-the
veriest hunoug oi the age? Why
not try nigh license, it is the solu-
ton of the matter. Wonder II the
promised investigation of the dis
pensary will be carried out or is II
only another humbug.

EDITOR ADVERTISER L am re-
minded of the words of a poet
which I mem orized when quite a
child, and although they may not
be appropriate or applicableto the
cause which prompts the writing
of this letter, I will use them for
whae they are worth:
GA raven once an acorn took,
From basins tallest, stoutest tree,
And laid it near limpid brook,
And lived another oak to see."
I had not seen n copy of the
Edgefeld ADVERTISER in more
than six years till yesterday, when
your last issue, Mr.. Editor, was
handed me. The dear old journal
looked quite familiar, and I scan
ed its pages with no small degree
of interest. My attention was
specially attracted to the short ar
ticle under the caption "Who
Saved It." The reading of this
article in which my name ls prom
inently mentioned elicits this et-
fort on my part, to explain and to
some extent correct the writer &C."
in what might become construed
in the wrong light and thus cause
a ruf1e of discord in this day of
patriotism.
1 was born in old Edgefeld and
quite half of my past life has been
spent within her borders. For
three successive years, 1888, 1889
and 1890, I taught school in the
Big Creek section, at what is known
as "shiloh Academy" During my
residence there I joined the Tray
wick Chapel Alliance.
1t was during the time in which
a great deal was being written and
said by many with regard to the
united efforts of the County Alli-
ance in proposed project to es-
tablish one or more cooperative
stores in Edgefeld county. 1 con-
ceived the idea that upon similar
principles as proposed for the es-
tablishment of these imaginary
stores a County Alliance bank
might be established. I drafted a
resolution in accord with my ideas,
offered it for acceptance and adop-
tion in my home alliance, which
was done. 1t was then that | Was

ions of far reaching and even vital

importance to the people, and !
sc it will be of the utmost import
ance that the next General Assem-
bly, shall be as nearly all fresf
from the people as possible, thai
the will of the people as expressed
in the election shall be reflected
in the action of the Legislature.
That such being the case [ would
not be filling the measure of my
obligation to those who entrusted
me with the sena.orship to thrust
it back on them, and force them to
the trouble and expense of sre-
cial election at a time when public
sentiment is unsettled on vital
public issues and conditions un-
favorable to bring the will of the
masses TO bear in an election.
4th. That my being, by action
of law, thrown into Greenwood
county, neither changes my con-
victions on public affairs nor les
sens my interest in the welfare of
the mass of tie people. That the
active part taken by me at the last
session of the Legislature, both in
originating, drafting and pushing
measures for the'special benefit of
Edgefeld county, and discouraging
legislation against her interests is
sufficient proof of my concern for
the interests of the people Of the
county.
That there could be no question
as to my fairly representing the
interests of Edgefeld county un-
less some question should arise
involving conflict of interest be-
tween Edgefeld and Greenwood
counties, and about which there
would at the same time be room
for doubt as to my duty in the mat
ter. But that the act establishing
Greenwood county covered all de-
tails of the separation, and there
is no prospect of any such ques-
tion arising.
9Th. That they believe this posi-
tion to accord both with the inter-
ests of the people of the county
and the wishes of those who sent
me to the Senate, and it shall be
endorsed by every aspirant for my
place who wants to 60 to the Sen
ate only as the choice of the ma
jority of tho whole people and who
does not want to take snap judg-
ment on the people in a special
election and walk into the Senate
as it we're by default.
Now, Mr.. Editor, those who
know anything about my private
business recognize that there will
be no gain to me to serve at the
next session of the Senate, and if
1 were merely politician, pc,
sonal interest would suggest ths
it would be perhaps good polir
for me to resign at once. Inde
if ] had been merely a politici1n
/ would have resigned and run eof
the Senate in Greenwood coun :
1 have been in no hurry to dec =
my course of action, because there
is no occasion for hurry, and ]
have desired to decide in accord
with the welfare of the people OF
the county and my obligation tc
those who elected me to the Senate
on the statements made by me in
the campaign.
For the reasons above stated
have decided that duty demands
that shall serve as Senator from
Edgefeld county till the close Of
the next session of the Legislature
when I shall resign so that my
successor may be chosen in The
regular elections of the campaign
of 1898. j. M. GAINES.
