Further Proceedings of the March
Term
Four Negroes Sentenced to thc Peni
tentiary for Life.
On Saturday afternoon last, his Honor,
Judge Hudson, pronounced the follow
ing sentences. And these very sentences
will reveal the work of the lirst week.
The amount of business dispatched,
prove? that there is a quick head and
""hand on the bench ; and the number of

of Solicitor Bonham. These are the sen

Return of Senator Butler.
Senator M. C. Butler returned home on
Saturday last, and will remain for come
little while. He looks well ; and tells us
that inasmuch as his daughters will be at
school in Washington until midsummer,
and return to school in September, it is
somewhat probable that his family will
not return to Edgefield th?3 year.

A Lexington Man.
A Lexington man now a citizen of
Edgefield-and an acquisition to our eil i -

Drafts, whom the March term has drawn
to our tow?., and whose acquaintance we
have been exceedingly pleased to make.
Two years ago Mr. lirait s left Lexington,
and bought a home in Rinehart Town
ship, in the immediate vicinity of Ether
edge's Store-or Kmard's,
Our beloved friend, Mr. Joseph Mci
who lately left Edgefield and settled in a
very favored section of Aiken County, has
been back to see us during the present
Court. And God grant the day may nev
er fall when he will not come back to see
us. Indeed, by means of the South Caro
lina Railroad and the C. C. & A. Railroad,
he can now reach us with infinitely more
facility than when he had to traverse the
red hills and yawning gullies of Meri

New Cloud's Creek Church.
On Ta??day last, we had a very pleas
ant visit from our honored friend, the
Itev. Mahlon D. Padgett, who, in these
days, very seldom comes to our town.
Mr. Padgett informs ua- and we regard
the fact as an extremely happy one-that
the Cloud's Creek church organization
known in old time? as Weat Creek-have
erected a new building to the worship of
Almighty God. This new building-large
and coramodioua-is to be dedicated on
the 4th Sunday in the present month;
and the Rev G. F. Williams, of Ridge
Spring, will preach the dedication sermon.
Other clergymen, incfuding Mr. Padget^
who is pastor of the cnurcb^Airrrrtepre3
ent. Besides the dedication ceremonies
and sermon of the forenoon, there will
also be services in the afternoon, lt is a
matter of great and high rejoicing to see
new and worthier templer lo tho Living
God thus rising here and there in our
County.
Batesbnrg's New Preacher.
Kev. J. K. Pace, lately of Mayesville,
Ky., has accepted the invitation of the
Batesburg Baptist Church to become its
pastor, and will shortly return to South
Carolina, where he has so many friends.
Mr. Pace will devote one week in each
month to missionary work in Lexiugton
County, m the employment of the State
Board. We are rejoiced that Batesburg
has secured so valuable a man, who will
be cordially welcomed to his new home.
A New Presbyterian Church.
It gives us the profoundest pleasure to
chronicle the fact that a new Presbyterian
church will, in all probability, spring up
in our Southern borders very soon. The
leadera in this good move are Mrs. Simp
son and Mrs. B. R. Tillman. Mrs. Simp
son is a widowed sister of the Hon. G. D.
Tillman, and lives at the old Tillman
homestead on Fox's Hill^ And very near
this old homestead the new church will
be located. We understand t?at Capt.
Ben Tillman, Capt. John C. SweareDgin,
John A. Wise, Esq., and the Hon. G. D
Tillman have already subscribed liberally
to this most praiseworthy undertaking.
For eight or ten months past, the Kev. ?
L. Morris, of Trenton, has been preach
ing one Sunday afternoon in each month
in the old Tillman-homestead locality
sometimes in the Hussar Pavilion. And
to his zeal, ably seconded by Mrs. Simp
son and Mrs. Tillman, is 'lae the promis
ing effort now being made.
Looking After Ills Fences.
Senator M. C. Butler, after illustrating
South Carolina right nobly at Washing
ton, has returned to Edgefield for a few
weeks to look after his fences-not politi
cal, but agricultural ones. The sight of
his old Edgefield home and neighbors has
a tonic effect upon him. The grandeur of
the Federal Capital is not to be compared
in his mind with the pjainest prospect in
South Carolina.-Augusta ''nronime.
Carp.
The carp fever has reached the Mine
Creek section, Mr. Thomas Whittle being
the pioneer. He already has his pond
stocked with two-pounders from Capt.
.Kates' pond, at Batesburg. Olherd are
literally "moving the mud" in the fish
pond matter, and ere long the man who
cannot boast of his carp pond will be the
man who has no mud hole lo scoop out.
And we say, go on with your fisherier,
and lot this be the motto of every farmer
m South Carolina: More com and less
colton; more carp and less carping.-Mon
itor.
Faithful Road Overseers.
The road from the Batesburg line to
Cloud's Creek has recently been worked
and is new iu better condition than at any
time within the memory of the oldest in
habitant. Mr. A. C. Whittle ?3 Overseer
from Batesburg to Holston's Cross Koads,
and Mr. Press Maroney from tLe latter
point, to the Creek and the admirable
manner in which they have performed a
most difficult tass-for this is one of the
worst section? of roads in the county
shows that Commissioner Wise very
wisely placed the right men in the right
places,-Monitor,
! For the Advertiser.
TOUCHES FROM TRENTON.
March has proven to bo a wolf in
sheep's clothiug.
j The prospects for a fruit crop are grow
j iug gloomy.
Small grain is donning .a thick coat of
green and we may hope for good results.
The ploughman is busily turning the sod
in preparation for cotton 'and corn, and
many farmers will have finished plant
ing the latter in the course of a few days.
Colds of almost, malignant type have
prevailed with us lately; and amongst
the attendant inconsequences, it maybe
noted that our new but famous ho.<telrie,
The'Oeean Branch, so admirably situat
ed for sunshine and sea breezes, has
been turned into a hospital, and^^of its
guests are upon the sick list, while ^js

Cel. John C. Cahill, of phosphate fame,
is spending a while with us, he having
sold out his entiro interest in thc miniug
business to his partner, Major Wise. He
will soon embark in a similar enterprise
again, however: and although his health
demauds ro?t, his untiring energies will
not permit him to remain idle.
Major Abram Jones, while riding in
a wagon from town to his residence a
few days ago, was thrown backwards
upon tho ground by a sudden lurch of
the vehicle, and seriously injured; and
though his condition is favorable for a
speedy recovery from the effects of thc
accident, he is still confined to his lied.
Quarterly Meeting commenced at the
Methodist Church on last Saturday ; and
on Sunday nervices were held in tho
Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches
besides.
Miss BessieJAdams has been elected
by the Trustees of the Hatcher Pond
school as their teacher-an excellent se
lection. I predict for Miss Adams abun
dant success in her newly chosen profes
sion.
By far the most notable event that has
lately occurred in our society circles was
the marriage on the evening of the 2lst
IUti mo, at the Episcopal Church, by the
Xcvds. E. T. Walker and S. L. Morris,
if Mr. A. H. S Day and Miss Wenona
?ia}'. Tho illness of your correspond
it immediately afterwards prevented
j?im from furnishing you with the de
tails of this unusually interesting and
mpressive ceremony; and while it is too
ato to do so at present, yet 1 hope my
lincero and heartfelt congratulations and
>est wishes for the prosperity of the hap
ly couple, are in due season. The many
graces and virtues of the beautiful bride
are well known ; while as for Aleck, per
mit me in this plain, blunt manner to
sa}', that no nobler, truer, manlier or
more honest heart over beat under a
waistcoat, than his. Standing first in his
classes os a school boy, first ct the count
er and desk as clerk and accountant, end
first when upon his own resources,
amongst successful business men, he
will stand always first in tho relation of
husband, kiusman and neighbor.

OF BALTIMORE, )ID.
DELIVERED AT PURCHASER'S DEPOT
Practical fanners have observed that ?ill the ammonia they need is to start th?
growth of the plant, while they require other things to make the plant fruit. This
Fertilizer is formulated with reference to this need-the ammonia being lessened,
and phosphate and potash, boll producers, being increased.
The large per cont, of Potash and Phosphate has a tendency to prevent runt-*
voiy desirable feature in this Fertiliser.
