Negroes Well Treated,

The destitute and suffering
negroes of Augusta have received
special attention at the hands of
the white people, which is in
marked contrast with the recent
treatmen. that negroes received
il Springfield, Ohio. Some idea OF
the consideration that has been
shown the negroes by the white
people of Augusta can be gained
through the following paragraph
from the Augusta Chronicle:
SIN hundreds of instances me-
groes were taken in homes of
prominent white citizens and the
heads of the families gave the in
structions to give food and water
to every Que of them and when
told that this might mean hunger
in the households, replied:
well, we will all go hungry to-
gether; give food and water to all
while there arefood aud water to
give"

Peculiarly Fortunate.

peculiarly fortunate il escaping
the ravages of the recent freshet

In IL portions fsthis etate, insG Geor-

county probably has more large
creeks than any other county Of
like size in the state, and these
streams are harmless at low water
butiwhen the high-water mark is
reached as it was in 1888, they
sweep crops and bridges before
them. In the recent freshet Green
wood county, which has but few
streams trayarsing it lost bridges
amounting to $4,000 and Spar
tanburg's loss from the same
cause is conservatively estimated
at $4,000. The taxpayers in this

: corner Resident of Old Edge
field County Writes Letter

Editor -Edgefeld Advertiser: I
am sure that You would not OBJ
ject 10 a few "reminiscences from
an old Edgefield boy of by gone
years. From earliest recollection
our old home paper was the Edge
field Advertiser, owned by Mr..
Durlsoe and edited by Mr.. jim
Bacon. It's weekly visits were
always looked forward to in
bringing the county news, and l
can see yet the family grouped
around the old home fire-side and
Papa reading The Advertiser of
forty and fifty years ago. Those
childhood days still linger as but
yesterday-never to be forgotten.
There is no place on earth so
dear to this boy as old Edgefeld
county, before she was cut and
ssIashed upto create new counties
Is hangs gppFRo ths Fs1 Wears:

in that dear old county seventeen
miles north Of Edge6eld, on the
new cut road leading from Capt.
Callison's to Greenwood, between
the churches of old Bethel OH the
one side and Bold Spring on the
other. (Here on March the 17tb,
1851 we first saw the light.
Memory is fresh with the recol-
lection Of boyhood days, and as
we think of the old people of 40
years ago they are all gone: Hoy
we do miss them! That dear
mothers hand that rocked me
day in and day out and stood by
my little bed bathing the brow Of
her little boys aching bead with
the tears or her eyes. Yes, that
dear mother ls gone and her body
lies in the old church yard
(Bethel) to await the>resurrection
morn. That dear old father whose
life is ever before us, be too has
gone on TO be with mother until
the children come.
Thirty years ago as a married
man with one child, we left old
Edge6eld and cast our lot With
the good people of Ninety Six, S
G. Here we spent. fifteen years of
tho best of our life. Many dear
friends of those years have gone
to their reward. We shall see them
no more. Gone but not forgotten.
In the little cemetery hard by we
are represented by three little
children, Maxey, a. j. and little
Ella. We shall soc them again on
the other shore.
It was in this town in the ye al
1886 that God changed our man
made plans, and turned US right
about face for something better:
In the year 1891 we left Ninety
Six and went to the town OF Green
wood, and hero we raised our
Ebenezer for Lay-Evangelistic
Christian work. For tea years we
made Greenwood our home and
many pleasant memories will
ever cluster around us of the dear
good people of those good old days.
Coming Oh up the road of life we
have parted with they best of
friends. Oul ways seemed to cross
and in the rush ofzthis busy age
| of the world when men ere work
ing night and day picking up u,,-
told wealth that will perish with
the using thereof, forgetting God
and all that is pure aud good, "
have our, eyes still on the cross
and our heart on things above
Many times we have come TO the
crossing of the ways and have
taken The wrong ropd thinking il
to b, right, after which we hav'
seen our wrongs and mistakes
and beg our friends not to mis-.
Judge the motive.
On we go, leaving Greenwood
