THE ADVERTISER.Edgefield, S. C., Sept. 28, 1*71.
A Word Every Now rind Then !We know tho people of Edgefield will
kindly allow us a word every now undthen, in behalf of tho Adccriixer. Woare continually receiving words of en-
couragernent^ not only from OMT friendsat homo, but from many at n distancewho have always appreciated our paper.Wo warmly appréciai.- al) f«uch In furn,and ask our friends to continue to enli¬ven us with their approval of our effortsto issue a ¡rood paper: to continue to giveus tho patronage we deserve, therebyenabling us in the ftttuse hs iti the past,to rise above all difficulties that min¬
eóme in our way. The long life and use¬
fulness of the Advert/.vcr have boen theresult of the liberal patronage of thepeople, andtheenergy, perseverance andclose attention to its management on thepart of its publisher. This being thecase, we shall double ourenergy and on
deavor to make the paper more worthvof the patronage of tho people than over
before. Wo aro daily adding now sub¬scribers TO our already large list, andour advertising patronage is nof oxoorviod by that of any country paper in RouthCarolina. Bul newspapers nro p\-0
sponges : and if our friends-snob ns arenot already subscribers-will com'; in .*
seo ns while they are hero on Salo-davnext, they will find that we have room
yet for many names.
Only Twenty-five Dollars a rT> «. î
In another column stands n Proclamation from R iv. Scott, oft'orin<r Two Hun¬dred and Fifty Dollars for the apprehen¬sion, dc. of ten men. who. on the Urbof August, assaulted one HendersonSmith, a colored citizen of the Mt. Will¬ing section, and burned his house andfurniture.This Henderson Smith is a remarks
bly respectable colored man. and standsremarkably well among the white peoplo of Mr! Willing. We do notthat ho voted the Reform ticket T any-'liing of that kind, but he is an honest,
industrious man who has had thesense not to make himself a violent par-
i -an of any kind. He believes and saythat this outrage was committed again:him by men of hisown color. The}him almost to death, and burned up ev
rything he had in thc world. And Gi v
Scott offers thc pitiful sum oí $250their arrest and delivery, with prooi tc ivict. Had Henderson Smith been u
violent Radical partisan, and his assail«an ra white Democrats, Five Hundred or
One Thousand Dollars would havo beenon'ered for ihe arrest of the latter.

The (.'omi Example oí Lieut. Govit arsicr.
The late letter ol'the colored official,Hausier, declaring against martial law inSouth Carolina, and showing how untie
cessary and how mischievous it wouldbe, is extensively commented upon inthe Northern radical papers, and seem
to have produced a good efleci there.And it is to be hoped tho colored peopleof the South aro at last beginning to dis¬cover that they have heretofore beencourted and duped by carpet-baggersandother corrupt knaves, not from any interest in their elevation or prosperity,but solely from motives <-;' personal gainor political ambition. We begin to thinkthat a perceptible reaction is manifest intheir sentiments, and a decided drill io
wards better and closer relations withtheir former masters. As tho scales
gradually fall from their eye, the decep¬tion of which they have so long been thevictims is partially realized. This dis¬
covery piuvokcs resentment, which, we
earnestly trust, will soon end in the ruplure ol'tn e partisan bonds that have
held them, since thc dose of the war, ini worse condition of slavery than existedbef »re thc emancipation.Such a change cannot fail to operate
advantageously upon tho material inter-«ts of the South, especially wherevertho thrifty laborer seeks to acquire a stakeii the community. Oneof thehealthicstsigns ol' the reaction, is thc concern maui-tested by the small property-holders, hithe frauds and exorbitant taxation of theState governments. At a recent meeting>] taxpayers in Jacksonville, Florida, to
protest against these abuses. Samuel
Spearing, a respectable colored Republi¬can, made a most sensible speech, whichcovers the whole ground, and has at¬tracted no. little attention, coming, as ii
loes, from a plum, unlettered man. Everyword of it is marked by a practical wis¬dom which could not have been betterexpressed by thc most eloquent lips, He«aid :
I am sorry that thc gentlemen havestiled on me; beeau.se I am no speaker,ind wonld-rather sit here and lister tolu» edp-sated gentlemen speak on thesemercsting questions:
1 came here ü-.is c ening to do my !i¡tie towards reduotion of taxes,'for I bc-Itpveitiny duty tb d<> so. But som*aid it was going 'o bc" a Democraticmeeting, and I lia I better -ray away. Iam a regular, strict Ttepublîean. These¡ire my sentiments, urn! I judge thc
publicans and Conservatives by their. rk - innre than by what they say; and.1.n wirh tho determination to
?.. -arty under wy ' and lav politieside. because r esin soo now it is best for
-' e State and all thc people, and until weo, au ' ail unite as no people, andm.» and Republicans and loynl-
Conservatives '-.ni all unite, if.y would, as one peopl . to do goodr!i" tate if they try. Wocannot hope
.vbavoa reduction of our taxes untilÉhat is done. I pay but a little, to bo.uro. Last year I paid seven dollars on3450worth of property. T learnthat nextyear it will be nearly, if not more, thanlouble. Now. who can stand such an in¬crease of taxes? There are, too, manypeople üvinir on taxes got nut of thopeople, and where doe-, so much tax-moneygo? This is all wrong; thethingis n< t working light, as ii should work ;too many people are trying togetalivingout of the taxes without work. I am infavor of a school tax for the childrenwho are growing up. and whose parentsare not able to educate them. Theymust be cared for, or they will grow upin ignorance, which will open tho doorsof ¡the jail and penitentiary for them.And we want to know what becomes ol'the school money when tho tax is paid,so our schools can go on Butt am notin favor of paying the enormous salariesto the gentlemen at Tallahassee andother places.
Ono of the ablest speeches ever
made hi the United States was deliveredat Steuben ville, ohio, last week, by Wm.S. fíroesbeck, of Cincinnati. In thecourse of his powerful address, Mr.Groesbeck alluded to the system of
plunder inaugurated in the South hythecarpet-baggers. Since the Radical re-
construction of tho Southern States, hesaid, tho dolt of South Carolina hasswollen from §0,000,000 to $13,000,000;that of Georgia from 36,000,000 to $20,000-IM»0: and that of Florida from $500,000to$15,000,000. The entire increase in South¬ern Stale debts, under Radical carpet¬bag reconstruction, is estimated at more
than $100,000,000, and the States have
hardly anything to show for it.

For the Advertiser.Mn. EniTOit,-T have read in your
issue of thc :21st, an article copied fromthe Columbia UMIOM over the signatureof " An Old Republican,'"' in reference to.i Ku Klux outrage said to have booncommitted in this vicinity within thelast month. Since then T have troubledmyself no little to ascertain if there wasmy foundation for the rumor, and amsatisfied that the statement is an unmiti-rajtcd falsehood throughout. I have seen
he old colored man, Sile Robinson,ipon whom the outrage is said to havelion perpetrated, and he utterly dis-.laims know ing anything in référence toho reported Ku-Klux disturbance, or
laving said anything to that effect. Andie is willing to sign a paper givinghe lie to the whole story.The colored people in this neighbor-
îood say they arc willing to testily thatio such outrage has occurred in this sec-
fon of country ; and thoy further w ish
ne^to say forthem, that while they are
satisfied, and arc living in peace and?uiolness, as they have l>een doing l'or a
dng while, they hope tho Party will notlist url» t.Uo ÍV;C...UT relations existingbetween them and the whites, by repre¬senting the weakest of their race as cir-
iiilating such libellous and unwarrantedalschoods.I scud you a list of names, of both
vhite and black, who are willing to tesi ly in this matter, should you desireuither evidence, viz: Messrs. T. J.rhnrmond, Jessee Dailey, I'. P. Doolittle,r. W. danton, B. F.* fíianton, Wm.?arkman, W.

The old law wac Uiathr s«., contracts should bc let out lo theoiccxl bidder; but cither tho law has»eon changed, or there is good causo forhe Public to believe that thc County,Commissioners are receiving money.vhich doc:; not justly belong to them.V few days ago there was a bridge to bomilt near Meeting Street.

Regiment lotting the bridges out to thcliehest bullier and in another to (he
lowest? The Grand .lory at (he Fallrenn of ÍS70, from some cause, failed t<>

For tho Advertiser.MR. EDITOR :-Having business that
occasioned a visit to the Dark Corner uot
long nir.ee, I received a pressing invita¬tion from that popular citizen, Dr. JOEJENNINGS, to make his house my homoand attend a celebration or. festival of the
Sunday Schools of that section of theDistrict ; which was to take placo on the
16th inst., at Plum Branch CL arch, not
a great distance from-his residence.Knowing full well the good cheer that I
would receive,-for presided over by hisrefined ladj- his is indeed a homo de¬
lightful to visit-I was not loth to ac¬
cept tho invitation.So on thc 15th inst., I commenced my
perilousjourney to the Dark Corner-Isay perilous for pits " that are dark" and
ways " that are mean,"' the road to fhn*
section "is peculiar," and a journeyover it is almost as impossible to accom¬
plish as was "Napoleon's march, "wen
ho tok dat Berlin, vonst."Aftern dav's hard drive throucrh
arrived sn fol v. inst ahead of n tremen
riim« «form of rain, which came downnriouslv thar it marlo ino briner forthsieh of relief when T satisfied myselfthat T had crossed tho "Rori TTill hridcreand tho RocuoShoals ford. Next morn
inc*, in oompnnv with prettv and livelyladies. T wended my wav to the churchour spirits though wero'not exubérantthe rain had put a damper on everything,and as tho Celebration was to have boena rrand affair, there wore forebodings of
failure and disannointment. As thoweather cleared thoueh. tho people sath-orod. and very soon the procession of
the members of the different SnndavSchools marched info tho Church The
banner of the Plum Branch School I no¬
ticed was draped in mourniner. and themembers alsoworemourninebadtres. On
inquiry T found it was in respect for Mr.Jas. T-s, whose death took place a'fewweeks since, and who wasa faithful mem¬ber of tho School, and much beloved byit.Tho son-ices of tho day commenced
with prayer by Col. B. M. 'Talbert, ofour own Village Sunday School. Afterthc singing of a Sunday school song, a
salutatory address was delivered by Dr.J. H. Jennings in such a happy andpleasant manner that wc all felt wo were
welcomed indeed. Tho assemblage wasthen addressed by the young orators oftho day, Messrs T. J. O. Holloway andJ. D. Talbert, in speeches that reflectednot only great credit to themselves as
speakers, but evinced the fact that theiraddresses would bo worthy emanationsof maturer minds.Next in order was an address by the
Rev. D. D. Brunson ; his words were
those of good advice, and told of thogood works of thc Sabbath School."When ho finished speaking, we were
all invited to partake of tho rich viandsand delicacies that filled the long tablein superabundance. It is needless to
mention that wc all did justice to thesubject, and fully convinced ourselvesthat although the Dark Corner seems tobe almost out of thc worin", it is not byany means behind the times, especiallyin thc art of superb cookery.Our appetites being at last satisfied,
all again assembled in the Church, andlistened to un address bj' Col. B. M. Tal
bert, in which ho charmed his hearerswith lively anecdotes and incidents, il¬
lustrating worthy and good deeds.After a few more songs, and another
address by Hov. Mr. Brunson, the cele¬bration ended, and wc departed for our
Homes, feeling that ve had spent theday with pleasure and profit.The next day thc rain, which .seemed
to have been providentially kept off on
the day of the celebration, poured downwith redoubled vigor, swelling rivuletsinto creeks, and creeks into rivers, so
much so that it appeared as if Prof.Agassiz's tidal wave WOUIO uc jiict rritu
A Hood from Hie mountains, and that this
parc of the world at least would be againswallowed up in a mighty deluge. Tin
Hoods subsided at last though, and a saltreturn was effected.As I crossed Turkey Crook, I noticed
that work on the costly bridge, near
Low's ford, was about to bo commenced.VILLAGER.

given to General-Grant, as he was goingto Cincinnati, at this Titusville. Seven¬ty-five'ti'ckets, were sold. Several ne¬
groes applied for tickets, but only one ofthem succeeded. Abraham Lee, aftersome demur on the part of the ticket-seller, got one; but when he presentedhimself at the'door belva's not allowed to.Miter, although he liadpaid his two dol¬lars. Abraham publishes on indignant.-ard, concluding as follows:Thc facts in regard to my treatment at
¡he Marshall House the next morning are
before the public; I need nr>t reiterate'hem here. I will say this, however, thatis. I approached tho
. dining-room door,Mr. Bloss was standing there, and I was
iuite sure lie saw mc coming. He quiet¬ly slid away out of slight, and I am underHie impression that he did *° to avoid
witnessing the consequences of his in¬structions to Mr. Orr; for T am confidentthat Mr. Bloss did not wish me to pointo that dinine-room. not because of mvoccupation, but. because of my color. Henow seeks tn shelter himself behind Mr.Orr. It is my intention to see this thinerthrough, not on mv own personal accountlint on account of my race, and particu¬larly such of them as Mr. Bloss considersrepresentative men.
ABRAHAM LEE.Titusville, September 16,1871.
Fatal Explosion.MONTGOMERY, September 26.-Hards

From California.SAX FRANCISCO, September 26.-Three
of the Sheriff's party were killed in an
attempt to capture five prisoners who re¬
cently escaped. Tho Sheriff's party lostseven horses-two killed and five cap¬tured. Only threó of the convicts wereseen to leave the field. Two are sup¬posed to have hoon killed, buttheir bodieswere not found.
ßSr Three colored men were hangedin St. James Parish, La., for murder,and the Sheriff, executioner, jailer, andtruants all possessed the "divine come¬
liness of a black skin." If a negro inLouisiana docs not enjoy the right oftrial by his peers, he at least, in thiscase, enjoyed the right of being hung bythem.

OUR BUYER û now in the NORTHERN MARKETS busily engagedsending us our Stock of
Fall and Winter Dry Goods !WHICH, in EXTENT, VARIETY and GENERAL CHEAPNESS, we intend shallsurpass anything wc have ever had f lie pleasure of showing our customers.And, in addit ion, we take great pleasure in saying that wc have gone to great ex¬
pense in fitting up our present Sales Rooms, by adding another Building forty feetdeep, and from cellar to top five stories high, throwing all iu ono. Thus giving us an
abundance of room for the display of our stock, and adding greatly to tho convenienceand comfort of our customers. Private Rooms have been added on the first floor,where Ladies from a distance can find retirement, refresh themselves, and arrangetheir toilet without the necessity of having to go to a Hotel.
This ia a want which has long been felt, and-we have no doubt will be appreciated.As to the other arrangements of our establishment, every comfort and conveniencefor our customers whilst making their purchases, also for the successful carrying on ofa large WHOLESALE and RETAIL TRADE, has been well studied and carried out.The first and.part.of the second floors will be used for retail purposes, where will be
kept all the NOVELTIES of the season, and of which we will not speak how, as our
reputation for keeping a first class STOCK OF DRY GOODS suited to the wants ofall classes, and at the lowest prices, is too well known, but we cordially invite all tocall and see what we have to show them this season, and judge for tkemselveaitfaegreat advantage of having a large stock to select from. Also, the great advantage of
plenty of room and good light, where the whole can be seen to the best advantage,and at prices as LOW as the LOWEST.The .second, third and fourth stories of our new Building will be used for wholesale
purposes, where wé will offer to CASH BUYERS a stock of Goods well'suited to thewants of the Southern trade,-and at prices as LOW as the LOWEST. We hopewholesale buyers purchasing in this market will give our Stock an examination, as
we know it will be to their interest to do so.
