Ramsey ?fe Bland strike it when
they put their large stock at lowest
prices. This year is rather hard but
times are bound to improve, ami with
the returning prosperity, prices must
advance. The customer who buys now
and gets the benefit of both the times
and the reduction in rates, can safely
say he gets a good deal out of it.
lt is a pleasure to announce some
thing in the way of business, after the
long talk about the hardtimes, which
is like unto the good days of the past.
Is there any reason for keeping up the
moan? We think not, when Ramsey &
Bland are offering better bargains in
quality and better displays in quanti
ty than have before been seen in wag
ons, buggies, harness, furniture and
coth'ns and caskets.
The Crops.
As a sample of what the crops arc in
Edgelield County we give the follow
ing as told us by John Carpenter, who
lives near Old Wells, taking the crops
as tiley come between his home and
Edgelield :
"Henry Wise-Good corn, pe is high
and line, cotton low.
J. B. Norris-Corn line except one
old negro's field in which John says
he will pull the fodder too soon, that is
to say, before the corn gets on the
stalks.
Albert s. Miller-Corn, best I ever
saw, cotton line.
O. Li. Miller-Corn, excellent, but I
lear he is ruining Iiis land witli pease,
pease in the middle, pease in the row,
and has just finished sowing 'em
broadcast all over creation.
S. T. Hughes-Corn and cottoii good
sure enough ; pease small and few in
a hill.
Old Julius Day Place-Elegant caops
of both corn ami cotton.
Joan Miller-All crops excellent.
Mrs. Bettis-Plenty of cotton, not
much corn but that good.
Mrs. Hatcher-Tip-top corn and cot
ton.
Jim Miller-All cotton, but there
must be good corn and plenty of it
somewhere oil' the road, I never knew
a Miller to buy corn, did you?
Walter Miller-Best corn on the
road, cotton good. Best new-ground
corn 1 ever saw, ears as long as the
rams horns that blew down thc walls
of Jericho
Foster Cheatham-Good corn and
pease, pinders, and potatoes in full
measure, also a sunilower patch.
O. O. Burnett-The best of every
thing, an excellent all-round farmer.
Thence to Edgelield-Skippance.''

CORRESPONDENCE
Once More Into the Breach.
I have much to do-much to keep in
peace
This waspish, wrong head, scribling
race.
First Dido came, the nicest, cf them all :
George Johnston whooped and
straightway burst his gall.
But Pedagogue-he cusses, snorts, and
cries;
He yells, he weeps, and then sneaks
off and dies.
Sam Jones says, "The hit dog
hollers and the harder the lick the
louder he hollers." My friend
sa.^ s that I am ignorant of history.
I don't den\' it, but I have man
aged to learn thoroughly the histo
ry of a certain self-sacrificing hero
who has devoted his life to the
service of his county and State.
Being a young man I naturally
looked around for some model to
shape my course by. I could find
no better one than the career of
the ?inmortal Pedagogue. His
course can be truced in a track of
continuous light [rora his birth to
the present hour. He once even
offered Ul sacrifice himself to his
county by becoming schcol com
missioner, but old Edgefield did
not want her most famous BOU thus
to bury his light under a bushel
and did not accept this unprece
dented, sacrifice. He wanted to
martyr himself, again ehe said no :
he was importunate, she firm.
Since then he has served her (and
without pay too!) by scrutinizing
with a jealous eye all the actions
of her county officers since that
time and raises a bow-wow and
rumpus at every move. In the
words of Hugh Farley, "He is tit
only to raise Cain and keep hell
a-hrewing all the time."
But Pedagogue wants to be call
ed a reformer. Faugh! Pedagogue
would read me a lecture in man
ners. If he wishes me to lollow
his precepts be should have set un
example worthy of my imitation.
Dick Steele sayf?, "There is noth
ing ginns so much reputation for
a preacher as practising." Instead
of Pedagogue's exhibiting, his
lamblike courtes}', he opens the
windows of his wrath and pours
forth such a stream of vitupera
tive filth that his article fairly
reeks with it, even in print. They
say that a man always resorts to
cursing when he is iu the wrong
on any subject and gets pinned to
the earth in a controversy. I do
uot say it in a boasting mo^d, but
get every liue I have written and
compare, and if I hav'nt kicked
every single prop from under him
then cuss me for a nigger. He
virtually gives up the fortress in
his last piece for he does'nt say a
syllable about the question at is
sue. He merely dabs about and
picks out what he thinks to be
weak points and spews his saliva
over them.
Pedagogue, the theologians tell
us that antipathy to the Bible
arises from two causes: A de
praved, enfeebled, besotted, nar
row, shallow intellect or a base,
black, crime-steeped heart, re
sulting from an evil life. Whence
comes yotw fear? You wish to
wash your hands of the dear old
ADVERTISER just because a few of
us boys have been a little rough
through her columns-to wash
your bauds of the paper which has
"borne with your infirmaties all
the year, and through whose col
umns your misanthropy has found
vent, under various aliases, for
twenty years. "Ingratitude ! thou
marble-hearted fiend, more hide
ous than sea monster!" A man
who puts on record a vile oath
talking about mud throwing and
sarcasm !
Pedagogue talks as if I had a
clique of backers ready to -?ounce
him at any time; I wouh.. . in
sult my friends bv asking them to
join me in an attack on such a pig
my as he.
He lays the cause of the dark
ages at the door of the Catholic
church. A man who has the least
smattering of historical knowledge
will laugh at thiis child's talk.
On the contrary, the Catholic
church kepi: alive the spark of
learning and civilization through
tho gloom of that dreadful night
which settled like a pall Over hu
manity after the fall of the Ro
man empire. The Goths and Van
dals had more todo with bringing
on the dark ages than any other
cause.
Pedagogue has abandoned the
field of argument and hopes to
lead oft" the controversy to the
low plane of crimination and re
crimination. I don't claim to be
equal in this respect to the mud
battery of Big Creek, the puissant
dominie, Pedagogue.
My friend's objection to clergy
men's teaching in public schools
can be applied with equal force to
their holding college professor
ships. Will any one say that the
sainted Drs. Smith, Maxcy, Basil
Manly, Barnwell-men who sac
rificed themselves to forward the
cause of college education-were
"in it for the money"? The preach
er's business is primarily to teach.
In ?ospect to the allegation that
our denominational colleges incul
cate sectarianism, I will quote a
few words spoken by Rev. W. W.
Daniel, one of the ablest preachers
in the M. E. Conference, an
alumnus of Newberry College.
He spoke the words in an alumni
symposium not two months ago.
"I want to testify to the absolute
misectarian?nn of tho course of
study in my alma mater. I was a

KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau Street, New Vork.
(Methodist when I entered her
?walls, when I left them I was a
Methodiststill." I don't suppose
our other denominational colleges
are to be ou1 done even in liberal
ity.
Pedagogue compared me to one
Icarus. Let him rip. He is B. liv
ing image of old Diogenes, who
toted a tub about with him to sit
in and growl and whine and snarl
and bewail at everything coming
under his notice. Get out of your
tub, friend, and let nature's sweet
sunshine dispel the darkness and
fanaticism from the gloomy cav
erns of your mind.

A Subscriber Writes to Tell
About a Picnic in an Oak and
Hickory Grove That Told
the Talc of Many Years
Past, and is Still at it.
ME. EDITOR: Please allow mc
space in your paper-c. paper lhat
battles for tooti people and puts
bad ones in the soup-to record a
picnic (record ic the word) at Mr.
CO. Mayson's on Saturday the
27th July.
The flatform was built in a
beautiful oak and hickory grove
while I hey told the tale of many
years past (and they are still tell
ing it.) There was a well of as
good water as ever fluttered
through the dark unfathomed cave
of old ocean to add to the comfort
of the people.
The dancing commenced al 10
a. m.. the music being furnished
h\' Messrs. Joe and Wi 11 ie Cart
ledge, and it was as good as a water
mi ll in. Mr. Joe Cartledge used
the very same identical fiddle that
the Rev. John Traj?n learned on.
When they began lo play it Hash
ed lighting to the heels of many
that thought least of dancing;
(or as Tam O'shanter says put
life and mettle in their heels.)
Refreshments were furnished by
Charlie Wrenn, consisting of ice
cold lemenade, sarsaparilla, and
soda-water.
The young ladies present were as
pretty as beauty could make them
and as charmiug as beautiful.
Many young men went home with
hearts that nothing can alleviate
but the right hand of matrimony
(we believe she is right-hander])
extended to them by some ol these
young ladies.
There were visitors from Edge
field, Abbeville, and Beaufort, the
right-hand of courtesy was ex
tended to all. Perfect order pre
vailed, everybody enjoyed the day
aud went home rejoiciug of the
feast.
May the sun of prosperity, tem
pered by breezes from the isles of
the blest, blowing over mountains
of ice-cream ever shine upon these
people. SUBSCRIBER.

Dear Raukfankerus Som :
I'se been er thinkin' erbout so

but not wid mysef like yu is-an'
de natrul consequence is, dero is
truble in my settlement. Yu re
members whut I sed erbout thr.mp
in' dat wartermillion-well I sho'
spoake er parable.
When I gaze at de ppecktacle yu
have made uv yo'self. I feel dat
same sensation whut comes over

whut dat critter's gwineter do

Always hold yo' head-I know yu

Yu are goin' in behime part fo

uv the things yu've been sayin'

Don't 3*u t ry it.

A CARD FROM MR. GAILES.
And a Tribute to the Delegates
Elected.
EDITOR ADVERTISER : Allow me
to thank'n}' friends in all parts
of the county for the liberal vote
given me in the recent election.
While I am satisfied I was de
feated by the false report circula
te 1 that I am opposed to a home
stead exemption, yet I feel that it
is no discredit to be defeated by
such men as are elected. Look at
the six delegates elect; a State
Senator, a Lieut.-Governor, an Ex
Congressman, a Congressman, and
two Ex-Governors-one of the
latter United States Senator. In
view of this array, the large vote
I received is accepted as gratify
ing evidence of the confidence of
the people, and I congratulate
them and the gentlemen elected
on the fact, that Edgefield will
have, not only the ablest delega
tion in the Constitutional Con
vention, but. probably the ablest
that any county in tho State has
ever sent to any assembly.
