f Messrs. Faulkner & Cato, hav-
: ing purchased alarge body of tim
bsr. near North Augusta, have
moved their saw mill down there.
They will continue their lumber
business in Edgefeld. Besides
having competent man in charge
of bis planer here, Mr.. Faulkner
will divide his time between the
two places.
We clip the following from Rev.
vi. Masters write-up in the
Baptist Press of the Saluda asso-
ciatlon: Rev. "Chas. E. Burts and
his handsome bride were present
at the gathering. The gifted young
Edge6eld pastor is a native of
Anderson county andi is well
known in saluda Association. He
is good speaker, but spoke not
at all. For all know that is the
proper way for a newly married

phone line connecting the capital

and Edgefeld ls boing built.

Having secured this position Mr..
Edmunds has abandoned his plans
for moving to his place in our
southern suburbs next year. His
valuable farm in south Edgefeld,
known az the Cain place, will be

1t wasz,e writer's pleasure to
attend tS all-day service at
Stevens Creek church on Sunday
last, which marked the beginning
of the ahrual protraoted meeting.
Nothing else affords US such
great JOY and happiness as
does an occasional visit to this
old church and to mingle with
the good people of the communi-
ty, many OF whom are relatives,
schoolmates and friends of our
boyhood days. Rev. Mr.. Mcmillan
is very earnest and jealous
worker and we believe a great
meeting will be held this week.
About nightfall on Saturday
last the barn Of Mrs. Mary J.
Norris with its contents was de-
stroyed by fire.. ,..having been set by
lightning. Notwithstanding the
fact that it was raining very hard
the building, which contained
large quantity of highly combus-
tIble matter, such as hay aud oatr,
was quickly enyeloped in flames,
This madeit impossible to save
! it. The Gorses and cows were re-
moved from the stables without
injury. The rain and chemical
engine enabled the fire laddies to
save several adjoining buildings.
We have been Informed that the
property was partially insured.

In the presentmentof the grand
jury, which we publish in this is-
sue, certain figures, given as the
amounts which the county bas
paid to the papers for publishing
notices and reports, are mislead-
ing. All of the s317 and SIP In
question were not paid to the pa
oers for publishing notices and
reports of county officials. The
cost of certain supplies, such as
blanks and sundry Office station
cry, is included in these amounts.
A small portion of the $317 was
paid for Office rent,last year before
the county Office building was
erected. We make this statement
so that the public will not, be
misled by the figures as published.
The United States authorities
in the persons of deputy marshals
and Commissioner w. D. Ramey
are right after the blind tigers ID
this county. Several weeks ago
one was fned $3.50, and on
Saturday last Thomas Hutchin-
son, neoro who resides seversl
miles below Johnston, was bound
over to the higher court for retail

apprehended. Yes, it seems that
