Edgef?el? Advertise! WEDNESDAY, AUG. 3. LOGA? BREVITIES. Georgia has already had a new bale of cotton. Mr. S. T. Williams oilers this week for the House of Representatives. Feaee will be. here before cotton picking time. Now look for things to go up, cotton too. ^Rev. Mr. Herbert is assisting Mr. "Dautzler in the protracted meeting in our Methodist church. The protracted meeting at our Meth odist church began on Sunday of this week and still continues. Mrs. Ben Livingston, accompanied by pretty little Ruth, of Charleston, is visiting her sister, Mrs. R. H. Covar, io our town. Senators Tillman and McLaurin and Congressman Talbert will speak at CrocketviJle, Hampton county, on next Thursday, Aug. 4th. Our regiment, the 1st S. C. V., has been ordered from Chickamauga to Jacksonville and assigned to the corps commanded by Gen. Fitzhujrh Lee. The Augusta Chronicle says : 4,If the Spaniards in Santiago believed that Americans are pigs, wonder what they thought when they saw Gen. Shafter.' You can get your money out of either of our banks by simply signing a re ceipt, and no stamp is required tc be attached as m the case of a check. This is as it should be. Court convened to-day, Wednesday, Judge Gage presiding. All the circuit judges are holding court in Bank in Columbia is the reason why our court did not open until to-day. During the past week in Augusta Ga" Miss Lillyie Cheatham, youngest daughter of Col. O. F. Cheatham, was married to Mr. Claude Garrett of the same city. The express charges on peaches and other fruits gaid each day from Ridge Spring alone amount to $950 to $1,000 dollars. Peaches and plums are going north by the car load. At the request of Rev. D. Z. Dantzler we announce that, the annual protract ed meeting at Harmony will begin on next Sunday, (1st Sunday) at 4 P. M. There will be two sermons each day, with dinner7 in the grove. Rev. C. O Herbert will conduct the meeting. The cotton milla started up early on Monday morning of this week. They say two or three bales of eotton have already been chawed up. They also say it will take ICO ba.es to lill the hoppers, and they must be full before the cloth will begin to run opt. Mr. X. G. Gonzales, late editor of the Siate, is in Cuba attached to the army of Gen. Gomez, the commander in cheif of the Cuban forces. In one of _his_ letters to Iiis paper be says that Gen. "Gomez" loots-- moen lite Con. K>.rt Gary, though he has not so stern a countenance. The negro who some weeks since ! broke into the E. B. Hart clothing store has been captured and lodged in jail. His name is Ed Holloway. There seems no doubt but that Mr. Hart has the right coon, He had been traveling around extensively, and a pawn ticket given by a Columbia pawn broker was found in his possession. A physician in Columbia recently bought some of the highest grade patent flour, and concluded to analyze a sample to see what it contained. He found therein ll per cent, of foreign matter. Use home-made flour, even if it is a little darker. Many of the dis eases prevalent aie directly traceable to adulterated food. , Dr. Calhoun, of Texas, is on a visit to his sister, Mrs. S. B. Mays. Dr. Calhoun has not visited his old home in more than twenty years. He tells us that the Texas crops are magnifi cent. Cotton will go up towards four million bales, and corn beyond esti mate. The wheat and oat crop, already gathered, was the best for years. The county pension board of Edge field was reorganized on Monday of this week as follows : H. B. Gallman, chairman; J.Newton Fair, secretary; R.A. Cochran, T. H. Clark, Dr. F. AV. F. Butler. Tow sship boards of pen sioners are urgently requested to forward names of their local boards to J. Newton Fair, secretary, Edgefield, rf. C. Bliss Sallie Lou Boatwrigut. "On the 19th of July the angel of death visited the home of Mr. Benj. Boat wright at Ki dge Spring and pluck ed there the fairest flower. Sallie Lou was well known to the writer for she was in his school room as pupil for several months and it is a sad, sweet? pleasure, if such a thing is possible, to add one little word in memory of a former pupil and friend. She wanted to live for life was so bright and at tractive to her just blooming into beautiful young womanhood, but when the Master called, she was ready to answer the summons, and death had no terror to her as it ha- none to such Christian men and women. She will be missed by her friends for her sweet? gentle ways ; but how much more sadly will she be missed in the home where her love and thoughtful care went to help make it a home indeed. We do sympathize with the grief stricken family, and trust that they may find comfort and consolation from that source where Sallie Lou found courage and strength to die.-Saluda Advo cate. A House Party. From the Columbia State of Monday we clip the following description of a recent house party at Oakley Park Of course Will Penn isn't of Augusta, but goes there sometimes : "Miss Mary Evans, of Edgefield passed through the city yes erday. afternoon en route to the north, where she will spend the summer. During thejpast week Oakley Park, the home of Mrs. N. G. Evans at Edge field, has beenasceuebf festivity and beauty. Miss Evans hus been enter taining a few friends at a house parly, and it is needless to add it was a most pleasant occasion. The.charming and delightful manner in which Miss Evans entertains always make for her innumerable friends. To a reporter for the State she chat ted delightfully and spoke of the j pleasure she had received hy the visit | of her friends, j The ladies of the party were Misses Doughty, of Augusta, Evans, of Lau rens, Lee, of Richmond. FannieTonip kins, of Edgefield, and Lillian Round tree, of Augusta. The folio ng gen tlemen were also present. Messrs. George Plunkett, of Augusta, Powell Evans, of Edgefield, James Taylor, of j Augusta, W. B. Penn and Hamilton Phinizy, of Augusta. Amid showers ol' kodak shots the party broke up and Miss Evans left on the evening train to spend the summer in Connecticut, where she will remain until winter's snow sends her back to the genial clime of the sunny south. While enjoying the pleasures of her | summer trip Miss Evans will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. David S. Plume, of Waterbury." THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE As One ol' Our Negro Teachers Saw lt. Mit. EDITOR : The Teachers' In stitute for the white people is in session at this place. There was an unusually large attendance. The teachers seemingly are very much interested, not only the, teachers but the community at lerge, BO much so that all see and know for a truth that the mode or manner of which the Institute i? managed by our efficient school commissioner Mr. A. R. Nichol son and our county board of edu cation, certainly tends to be pro ductive of much good. I had the delightful pleasure on last even ing of hearing Prof. Cromer, of the State University, deliver a very in teresting address on the intellec tual and scientific progress of the American people. He said we had not a parallel in the annals of history. He very forcibly impress ed the teachers with this all im portant "idea" or fact, that not withstanding our progress, intel-1 lectually and scientifically, unless founded upon ethical and reli gious principles, with a strong re gard for "personality" our mate rial progress will ever tend down ward. Mr. Locke in his essay on the human understanding has well said:' "The personality of au in telligent being extends itself be yond present existence lo what is past only by consciousness." Could all of the American people see it in this light, and fedi it so, our] material progress would tend up ward, and as the grey light of the] dawning of the 20th century ap pears in the eastern sky every one of us-men of the north and men of the south would be ready for the coming day. The men of the north doubtless have come nearest to this much desired position where the/ can realize the fact that their material progress is tending upward, but the men of the south, heaven pardon their blindness, there has been so much smoke of powder and other things that they could not always see their way, honce we can but con gratulate ourselves upon the pro gress we have made in the direc tion in question. Let us drop mere mechanical devices in the solution of many difficult and complicated questions which will come before us as educators of the youth of the country, and adopt suitable meth ods based upon principles that are eternally right, and this dear old south landor ours will become an inheritance of which we shall all be proud, and that we can hand down to our posterity with much grace and without stint.

Both the candidates and voters were indignant last Wednesday on hearing that they would be given omnibus tickets, and au earnest protest against the same was entered. Just as Thc Headlight is going to press Hon. L, E. Farley states that, after consulting the- county chairman and other member of the committee, they had decided to permit candidates to have their own ticke'ts printed, and that they would be counted when voted. We are glad of this, for our readers are entirely satisfied with the present plan of holding primary elections, and would rebel against any Omnibus ticket. It would open too broad a field for getting in ring candidates. Such sharp political methods will work on negro republicans, but they won't suit th ? free-born white voters in old Spartanburg county.-Head light. _ IRBY IN A FIGHT. The Ex-Senator Tackled " by a Constable, who Dr^ws a Pistol. Laurens, S. C., July 22.-Before court convened this morning, Will CraAvford, a dispensary constable, went into the clerk of court's office where Col. J. L. M. Irby was sitting and and charged Col. Irby wi. i having treated him in an ungentlemanly fashion in his speech defending a white man named Brown, tried for dispensary violation yesterday. Crawford had been a witness in the case and Colonel Irby had employed lan guage uncomplimentary to some of the constables. Irby told Crawford that he had a right to criticise him officially, and to go on off that he. wanted no difficulty with him. After some words the two men hitched but were separated, neither having suffered substantial injury. A nephew of Col. Irby assisted in separating the combatants, and it ?estated that the constable, in the belief that this young man was taking a hand drew a pistol but made no attempt to use it.

Candidate Cor Education al Supennten<ient.--A Friend Pays Very Hig-h Tribute to Him. Tu the Editor of the Augusta Her ald-Sir: One of tho candidates i for Stale Superintendent ?of Edu cation iu South Carolina is John J. McMahaD, of Columbia. Mr. McMahan is a young man, perhaps not 35 years old, but he has had a .^reat deal of experience. He is a j graduate of the South Carolina college, has held the position of assistant professor of English in that iustitutiou for a number of years, was.a prominent member of the constitutional convention, is an able and conscientious lawyer, a brave, fairminded, intelligent man, o? whom all South Caroli nians may well fee] proud. In ihe constitutional conven tion, Mr. McMahan advocated a forestry commission, whose duty it would have been to plant trees along the highways and to prevent the state from being denuded of its forests. His course was indi cative of great scientific research for it is a well known fact that nea.*/al] scientists believe that, as the leaves of the trees liberate azone and in that way purify the atmosphere, the earth would prob ably become uninhabitable if the forests should be totally de stroyed. Mr. McMahan's advocacy of a marriage commission subjected him to some criticism, but in that be was in line with the leading scientists aud humanitarians of the age. - Such a law would pre vent the maniage of persons whose blood is tainted with scrofula or syphillis or any other disease that would injuriously affect their off spring. Some of the hading countries of the civilized world have established a marriage com mission, and so beneficial are its n.'sults that its abolition would not be for a moment considered. If only persons of puro blood were allowed to marry, the race would be healthier, stronger, and more of us would possess sana mens ?D sane corpore. As a lawyer Mr. McMahan has never neglected on opportunity te befriend tho poor and distressed. About a year ago, au operative in the L-cotton mill, on account of some disagreement, decided to quit his employment. Having decided to remove, he placed his. scant furniture and houseoold goods in the depot for shipment. The mill people not only refused to pay him what wages were due, but also seized his furniture m the depot and held it on the belief that '.their former employe was guilty 'of a breach of contract. I do not doubt that they belioved in the honesty of their intention, and it i is not desired to cast any reflection upon'them. It was simply an ! error of judgment. The man was poor and friendless. No lawyer in lin town would tako his case} especially a3 he had no money with which to pay hie fee. He then went to Columbia and consulted John J. McMahan. This brainy and big-hearted young lawyer [Unhesitatingly accepted his case, although the fee was contingent and the expense of bringing suit considerable. In accepting the case, he did not ask, is it popular ? The question uppermost in his I mind was, is it right? And having decided , that question in the I affirmative, he set to work, and, by his learning and eloquence, he secured a verdict in favor of his client, who was a warde i con* siderable damges. A friend of the poor, the dis tress ed and the needy-educated, courteous and refined-uo braver, nobler man could ha elected to tho Scrofula to Consumption. Any one predisposed to Scrofula can never be healthy and vigorous. This (taint in tho blood naturally drifts Into Consumption.

The director of the Texas Ex periment Station is credited with the following : I "I believe there are two agencies at work causing the death of live stock when fod cotton seed and its products continuously. The first of these is the active poisonous principle, and the second cause is found in the excessive . fattening laud concentrated composition of the feeds used. The composition of cotton seed hulls and meal indicates clearly that these two food stuffs do not contain all of the elements necessary to keep up the complex animal system. They are too heating and too fattening in their constituents, and their tendency is to induce a fevered condition of the digestive organs and weaken the entire constitution. This weakened condition, combined with active poisonous priuc'ples, which have been inactive until now, causes frequent deaths. "A long acquaintance with cot ton seed meal as a cow food, fed when no hulls were used, proves to me that the cotton seed meal,' if long continued, will derange the digestive system of milk cows and show a general tendency to abor tion in the herd. This has been the experience of some other dairy men of the South who have fed large quantities of cotton seed meal in connection with a hay41 ration." Here Is Your Chance. If any young mau.in South Carolina wants to take a nice trip on the Pacific ocean at Uncle Sam's expanse he had better enlist in the Second regiment at once, and then he'll porbably have the chance. One of the field officers of the regi ment said recently, " according to one of our exchanges, that he had received information from Washington, which be considered trustworthy that the 2ud South Caroliua regiment which is now being formed would be, as soon as it is completed, sent to tho Hawaii an islands as a part ol' Gen.
