But still Eigefielc would be highly pleas ed if some Legislative reporter wouid dis cover a strong likeness between bim and the President el?ct, alian " your uncle Grover Cleveland." Raise Thunder. The phrase is not an elegant one, but expressive Cannot some of our Edge field representatives in the Legislature ( r all of them in a body-raise thunder about this absurd plan of collecting taxes in May and September? Let October, No vember and December be the mouths. Arkansas. \ Our young friend Loman, lately of Batesburg, who writes the interesting letter, in another column, from Arkansas, is intelligent, and honest and conscien tious. But still he is your ? and apt to be unduly enthusiastic. It were infinitely w iser in our young men lo stay just where they are -and work hard, A Slgu of the Times. Since Cleveland's election we have got a subscription to the ADVERTISER from Colorado, one from Wvoming, and one from Indian . Territory. The latter sub scriber is an original Edgefield man.

Hil!, grandsons of Mrs Martha Hoghes, were hunting on Saturday last, in the neighborhood of that lady's resi dence, the gun of the latter, by some un toward accident, went off unexpectedly, aud wounded the former quite severely in the side and stomach, the bair entering at the back, ranging round one side and shattering a rib badly. Albert Nichol son, a boy of perhaps sixteen, is the old est son of Gen. B. E. Nicholson. At first the wound appeared to be a very terrible one, but it seems now that the ball did not enter the abdominal cavity, ano*} hat the injury will not be long or permanent. The lad is at present doing well, though he ha., suffered a great deal. The 'A boys are first cousins and much attached to each other. i'or the Advertiser. A Late Immigrant From EdgeGeld Delighted Witta Arkansas. CABOT, ARKANSAS, Nov. 27, '84. Dear Advertiser : As a great many ot my friends in Edgefield requested me to write them concerning Arkansae, I send you a short article, which please publish. First, I will tell you about my trip. We left Batesburg on Monday, November 17, and ar rived at Atlanta, Ga., 6 o'clock on same day. Atlanta is a beautiful city, a city that the South ought to be proud of; it is lighted by electrici ty, and in one sense "there is no night there." We left Atlanta ll 40 o'clock, and arrived at Chattanooga Tenn., G o'clock A. M. It is a very pretty city, and has some magnificent buildings. We left Chattanooga 7 o'clock, for Nashville. The country along the line of Railroad is perfectly beautiful, saw many ?nouutaine rising hundreds of feet above the general level. Lauds in Tennessee valley are good beyond a shadow of a douU. Saw corn that has made at the least, this year, forty or fifty bushels per acre. Grain is np, and is looking well. To see Tennessee farms, is enough to convince us that it will not do to plant cotton for a living. We saw as many as a dozen mule colts on one little farm, and corn still un ga! hered to feed three times that number one year. The little towns along the line seem to be flourishing. While our spirits were highly buoyed up by the land gradually getting bet ter the farther west we traveled, we arrived at Murfreesboro, the old bat tlefield of the Western army. Our hearts felt sad as we gazed at the old breast-works, and we thought of our gallant soldiers, how they lought and struggled for our rights. We saw the graves of our Confederate dead, with scarcely signs enough to mark their graves-while on the other side the Federals have a beautiful cerne, tery, with green grass, lovely flowers and tomb stones to honor their dead. The Confederates are sleeping under the sod of Tennessee with no mark ol respect. We know that. '" -ry Southern man's head there is love and honor that will never be lost for these heroes : "Their bones are dust, Tbeir good swords rust ; Their souls art? v. i th the sai u ts. vie trusty We arrived at Nashville at L2 o'clock ; it is a business place in evt ry sense of the word, ana a beautiful city. We lett Nashville 7 30 P. M , Lr Memphis; we saw buta very little of the country, as we traveled the whole distance at night. Arrived at Memphis 0 o'clock A. M., and it was there we crossed the Father of Wa tere, tne great Mississippi ; the whole train ran into a steam boat, which carried us Bafely over. I thought of De Soto, and how awe stricken hs must have stood a's he first looked at the great rifer ; it is a mile aud a half in width where we crossed. This is a great sight for a boy who has stayed at home all his lire with bia mother. We left Memphis at 7 o'clock, and arrived at Little R ck ll.iO. The country lrom Memphis to Forest City, a distance of fifty miles, is one continued swamp. The land from Forest City to Little Rock is simply splendid. Saw hundreds ol acres of level land that will make this year a bale ot cotton per' acre. They have more cotton to pick in Ar kansas now than we made in S. C. Edgefield County. We live 22 miles from Little Rock, on Iron Mountain and Soutnern Rail-, road. I can truthfully say that Ar kansas can not be beat in the United Staten lor good land ; there is plenty of land here that will make two bales cotton per acre, on river bottoms, of course, but such land can not be bought for less than forty or fifty dol lars per acre. Good up land can be bought here from two to sixteen dol lars per acre, according to improve ments, locality, &c, As regards so ciety, schools, &o, I never saw a bet ter country. The people are very attentive to strangers^and are very social. I can truthfully say I nevei met a better people. And my ad vice to young men in the South is that they could not make a better move than to come to Arkansas. What can the average young man promise himself in the South ? He can come here and buy land at one third the price as in South Carolina, and will make three times as much ; he has plenty of room ; he can grow up with the country; > and he has a great many advantages here that he has not in the South. There are but few who have no homes here ; they seem ti be a happy people. Boys, you need not be afraid to leave your fair Southern girls; you will find numbers here who are just as lovely, noble and good. You .need not think because this is in the far West that the people are behind ; you will find them np with the older country in everything ; and a head of us finan cially. My advice is, come and see, young man, for yourself, and I will guarantee that you will make this your home. Come along, we will be glad to have you. I will correspond with any one who will enclose stamp, with pleasure. Yours Very Truly, &c. EDWARD C. LOMAN. James S. Blaine, the cousin of his cousin, is quoted as saying in Pitts burg: "Personally I like Jim, but politically I think he is a shade tricki er than I like. For twenty years he has been sustained by the hope of be ing President. It was his only am bition. He lived, moved and had his being with the simple hoped" some day being President. Now his hopes are blasted. His monumental am bition will crumble and in the great wreck his life will be crashed out." State of South Carolina EDQEFIELD CO UNI Y, In Common Piras. S. T.
