Marriad, by Rev. P. P. Blalock, July
%, 1899, at the brides residence, Mr..
Mack b. Deal, of Columbia, to Miss
Ida Harling, of Edgefeld.
To allow the minority, and a small
and weak minority at that, to rute a
town is something entirely out of the
ordinary. 1t is weakness that's half
brother to cowardice.
A buggy that will stand the test
of rough roads can be bought only
at A. Rosenthal's, Augusta, Ga.
Having accepted the leadership IN
this bond matter if Gov. Sheppard FAIL
the people of Edgefield at this juncture,
in this high and noble emprise. then
we all fail. Should he funk. then we
all funk, and our name is Dennis.
The people of Edgefield have been
loyal to Governor Sheppard through
three decades, and at this juncsure,
they only desire little return in kind
to them of that of which they have
been SO prodigal to him. Will ne fail
them?

The crops in some portions of the
county are very good, in other portions
they are very sorry. We heard man
say that from the Indications along the
ROAD, thereIwouldn't be five bales OF
cotton made between Treasurer Nor
san's and Parksville.
President Fisher disclaims any in
tention of using the factory vote
against the school project, but the fact
remains that it was so used and voted
against the best interests of our town
at the citizens meeting last Friday.
That record can't be expunged from
.he calendar.
After eleven years of sunshine and
shadow the Edgefeld Light Dragons
were disbanded on last Saturday on
account of the recent order of Adjutant
and Inspector General Floyd. This
order requires an enrolment OF sixty
names, and this the Dragons could
not get.

phere may be averted by occasionally

Capt. John R. Tompkins has laid on
our table the first fully open boil of
cotton we have heard of this season.
Capt. T. is a "hustler"-he gives his
whole time to the books and financial
department of the cotton factory, and
rims his farm out at Cent,e Springs
by proxy. Says his crop is fine, and
that he expects to sell more than one
bale in August.
We hope and believe that Gov. Shep-
pard will not abandon his people in
their need. Our communications this
week show the high esteem in which
he is held, and that all eyes are turned
to him in eager expectation and hope.
The very demand for his services in
this school matter is great tribute to
his power and influence. They know
he can take them through to the green
pastures and clear waters, if he only
will-if he only Will.
Come, and Come Loaded!
