It ie still with us, and we have ceased to be astonished at any phase the weather may as sume, having resigned ourselves to our arctic surroundings. In Edge field, 10 degrees above zero was" the coldest point reached. On Satur day morning a fog th at had formed during the night froze on trees and i gras-1 and shrubs, and the eye was delighted by the magnificence of the scene. Nature, when ehe puts on her severest aspect, has a smile somewhere if you will look for it. Such a snow fall hasn't been seen in Edgefield since 1857. Lands will be greatly benefitted by this arctic wave. The ammonia in the L snow is gradually absorbed, and old farmers say a five inch snow is worth $2 per acre to the soil; ac cordingly this will be a great crop year.

EDITOR: lam anxious to secure some facts with reference to the early history of Methodism in Edgefield Village and also in Edge field county. I therefore beg the use of your columns to ask for any facts, documents, traditions, inci dents that may assist me in getting a satisfactory knowledge of -the struggles and triumphs of our fathers. Through recent investigation along this line I find that Edge field village in the year 1789 was located within the bounds of the old Cherokee circuit. "It extended from Campbelltown near where Hamburg now stands up the Sa vannah to old Cherokee town, thence in a line along the Blue Ridge across to Saluda taking the course of that river down through the neighborhood of the present Bite of Cokesbury to Edgefield. It embraced\Edgefield, Abbeville, and Pendleton." The first record we have, so far as I know, of any preaching by a Methodist preacher in the town of. Edgefield, ie fouiHz-itrtr-Ietter1 writ? ten by Beverly Allen to Mr. Wesley May 4th, 1791. Allen was one of four of the best pioneer preachers in the connection who were ap pointed to form societies and cir cuits within the original limits of the South Carolina, conference... He is described as "a devout and zealous preacher, became the travelling comp?niou of .Bishop Asbury and a correspondent of Mr. Wesley. He was a man of ex traordinary talents,' acquired an almost unparalleled popularity as a preacher, became & leader in the ranks of the ministry, and a promi nent representative of Methodism, married into a highly respectable family, and gained a fine social position in Carolina." Here is a liberal extract from his letter tell iug something of his visit to Edge field Court House : "At the conference in Charles ton in 1789, I was appointed to Georgia where I spent part of my time. I had as formerly large con gregations and sometimes very lively meetings. But the appear ance of an Indian war occasioned me to spend most of my time in SouthjCaroL?**---"*^"" " : ii'.--1 -ii"}- there v CC:i???Vr?*-v^ . [ bfcd . . _J_-mr gregation to whom I spoke freely. All were still and attended to what I said till toward the close of thc sermon, when the word caused a trembling and weeping in ! the whole assembly. ' Soon after they cried for mercy,, and the poor distressed creatures fell on ..their knees, beseeching us to pray1 for them, which we did. nor would they suffer us to leave them without promising, if possi ble,to visit them again. Some found mercy and peace to their souls and others were under deep distress. On my way the day following, May Qth 1790,1 preached in Edge field Court House to a very con siderable number of attentive peo ple, to whom I declared the oath of God that he has no pleasure in the death of a sinner. Toward the conclusion, one woman sitting on a lofty seat dropped to the floor aod soon after a number of others came and fell on their knees, crying for mercy and several found deliver ance * After preaching six sermons and riding one hundred and ten miles in four days, I preached a few times around in my neighborhood and then with my family set out for ' Wilkestown in Georgia. On our way we had some very lively meetings, but most of all, on our return at a quarterly meeting helft in Cherokee circuit South Carolina, where, before I had preached one half of my sermon, my voice could scarcely be heard for the cries of some, and rejoicing of others. The second day it was more so. I sup pose there wera near two hundred on their knees desiring to be prayed for. The number of those who fouud salvation at this time, I know not. Many such seasons as this we were favored with in the course of the summer." He continues in this letter to re cite wonderful displaye of the Di vine power, here and there in the conviction and conversion of hun dreds of souls. Through luis very interesting letter, we get a glimpse of the early Methodist circuit rider, flying from place to place with the everlasting gospel, un varying and undaunted. We wit ness too the mighty forces of good and evil in stubborn canflict and hear "the thunder jt the captains and the shoutings." A. B. WATSON. * Does any one know anything of these women ?

EVANS DISK :>>?? V LAW. CONTINUED PROM Flu'ST T/.GE. From E v an g el i ! i P. B Kin ard. MR. EDITOR.*- .My opinion in regard to the Dispensa y law is that it ?B quite an iauprcn envision the open saloon. While n ?<* not what true prohib? ionics rV*R ?ted, we are all much better pleased "with half loaf th;'-; none ai Ul." The Dispensary ; lay furnish; to the intoxicants al. ;he liquor he wants, yet it will ?0* fuioish an inviting rendezvous for the boys and men, where they may oaf sud play billiards while learn hg the habits of intemperance..

Ohl what a curse whiskey ie to the rising g?heratioi Some argue that pn l?ibftiba i any kind-does not pr 'sil.it, and that men will continue :.o sel?a-id ? drink whiskey, under arv rjirshm- i stances. If we accept tjjis ai": an argument against any kind of pro hibition, we can use it against 'any law upon our statute books, ;even the most sacred, which says "Thou shalt not kill." We know that bur land is polluted with innocent' blood, but who would be so silly as to erase that law from our statute, books ? Men will commit murder; it matters not what law is passed. I am for prohibition, first, last, and all the time. Yours truly, PIERCE B. KINARD. Ninety-Six, S. C. ..v,v.?: f??i.ve he? ?-. r.; . ?f.?- ' "'.j .*.

The business is taken, by this law, from the hands pf men who followed it for gain. In theory at least, this business no longer opens to men the opportu nity- of wealth. Some may say that the State will get the revenue and that our children will be edu cated on "blood money." No more so than that they walk streets paved and kept by "blood money." No more so than the children of the druggist who sells opiates, only as medicines, are educated on "blood money." Of course I mean the State is to sell, not for bever age, but for medicinal and sacra mental ? purpose alone. This is a good law to my mind in its possibilities, no law can be good in its practical workings un til tested and proved. If the sen timent which produced it.be earn est and brave it will be executed. It will give opportunity to' test the true strength of the prohibition sentiment. If this law is enforcep! it will be an easy matter to pass and enforce a more stringent one. Men will watch closely to see if the State will violate her own laws, and thus bring them into disrepute, This can be easily done by putting men of weak or bad moral charac ter in charge of Dispensaries. I am an uncompromising prohibi tionist and as such I give my ap proval to any law that will assist in the complete overthrow of a trafile whish is a covenant with death ind an agreement with hell. J.

Grant Park grounds were do nated by Col. L. P. Grant, and consists of nearly two hundred acres beautifully laid off in walks and drives, fountains and lakes. On the 11th inst. Col. Grant was called to his final reward at the goodly age of 75, and the day I visited the park the buildings were draped in mourning for that loved philanthropist: Among ether! things of interest Grant Park has a menagerie, consisting of Asiastic lions, African lions, Mexican lions, elephants, camels, deer, elks, bears, wolves, cayotes, badgers, jaguars, monkeys, and other small animals, and birds of various kinds too nu merous to mention. Upon the hill top is Fort Walker with its grim sentinels still mounted pointing to the four winds of the earth-hard by are the solid missiles of death. . The National Surgical Institute, which must not be confounded with the so-called Peidmont Medi cal Institute and other advertising catches, is in my humble opinion the best institution of the kind in the United States.

General Butler and the Spoons. "In the campaign of 1884, But ler arose to address a big meeting in Maine. ^'Ladies and gentlemen," he began, 'I cor^e'-How about those spoons? cried a voice in the rear of the hall and the meeting was broken up by the howls of laughter which followed." i Whatever may have happened in Maine, I remember well at a meeting in Hartford, Conn., when soon after the general had com menced speaking, a tipsy ihdivid uat cried out in a loud voice: "General Butler, tell us something about those spoons you stole in New Orleans?' The general re plied by saying he would tell him all about it when he got through, and went on with his speech. When he ceased speaking and was gathering up his notes and papers preparatory to leaving the stand without making the explanation asked for, the same voice was heard again and in a very perem ptory tone demanded an explana tion as to those "stole spoons." "Ah, yes," responded the general "The magtter had escaped my memory." Then in his most persuasive tones he innocently inquired: "Are-you a republican, my friend?" I am," rejoined the other, "and I am proud of it." "So was I," sharply retorted the general "when I stole those spoons," and turning about he left the stand amid such a storm of laughter and applause as was never heard before in that hall, The "howls of laughter" in this case were evidently on the general's side.

An Interview With Cashier Padgett of the Farmers' Loan and Savings Bank. It is not so much what Brad street, Dun, and the <?reat. agencies North, think of the financial and business outlook for 1893, that in terests Edgefield people, but what our own home experts think ; for money might be plentiful and easy to get in the eastern money centres and as tight as beeswax here at home. With a view to getting this home situation we dropped into the Far mers' Lean and Savings Bank on Monday and had quite an extended interview with Cashier A. E. Pad gett on the promise and potency of the new year from the money standpoint, of which interview the following is a brief synopsis. Mr. Padgett never talks through his hilt on business matters and what.he says may be set down as "solid:" Mr. Padgett, do you object to telling how the banks collected from the year just closed, what is their present condition, and?what is the businsss outlook for the year 1893 as the banks see it ? Well, sir, I can only speak for the Farmers' Loan and Savings Bank, but guess the experience of all the banks of this county has been about the same. The result of our business dur ing the year just closed was very satisfactory. Collections were prompt and very good. We could not have wished for much better. Our people were cautious in con tracting debts during the year 1892, and^the result is, that even with a short cotton crop, our people met their obligations promptly. This brings the banks out of the old year carrying very little paper that has been extended, and in a healthey state to begin the . new year. The Farmers' Loan and Savings Bank is' stronger to-day than since its organization. Our deposits are larger than ever be fore, and our list of deposits and patrons is growing every day. I consider the business outlook very encouraging. The farmers who deal with us have passed through two years that have taught them lessons of economy, and, as a rule, they- have on hand a year's supply of home-raised provisions. This means that they will need to borrow only moderate amounts of _ypts?* uotuij' an ouuiuurn banks outside of the large cities find it necessary to borrow money at different periods during their business year, and I presume ou,r banks will find no trouble in hav ing as much of their paper dis counted as conservative banking permits. It JS with banks as with individuals, they find no trouble in having their paper discounted if they prove their condition to be sound, and their methods correct. The Farmers' Loan and Savings j Bank is ready to discount accepta ble paper and has been offered all the money it may need for the business of this year. Assessors' Notice. ?HE books will be open from ' . Jan. 1,1893, to Feb. 20, 1893, for the purpose of receiving tax returns for the fiscal year com mencing January, 1893, and ending Oct. 31,1893.
