Edgefield Advertiser THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1892. Of the few persons present at the anti-convention there was only one who had horns inside of his hands. Why was the anti-convention last Saturday like angels' visits? Because they were few, and their haciendas far between. The failure of the Anti-convention to materialize caused a good many fence-riders to flop over on Tillman's side. From our office window Satur day afternoon we heard three strike the grit. - . Governor Tillman is an otT-hand speaker-no orator as Brutus ls-but if Brutus follows Ben through the briar patches and over the gullies of the Piedmont escarpment to the sand beds and marshes of Coosaw and Goose Creek he will wish he hadn'i done it. For the failure of the anti-conven tion on last Saturday no blame should attack to the Edgefleld Chronicle, Monitor, or any of the geutlemen who inaugurated the scheme. They did their best, and made every effort to make the thing a success. It failed because their indictment of Ben Till man awakened no response in the hearts of us horny handed sons of Adam. THAT MTTLE C??WD. Pursuant. tp proclamation in the Edgefleld Chronicle and the Edgefleld .Monitor, the opponents in Edgefleld c?iintv of Governor Tillman and the administration met in our court house at 12 o'clock sharp oh Saturday last to elect delegates to thc March Conven tion of the "antis" and to devise ways and means to compass the defeat of Governor Tillman for renomination. Capt. James Callison, the Duke of Shatt?rflcld. was made chairman. Governor Sheppard, who was pres ent, was invited to address the meet ing. The Governor didn't say much, but what he did say was to the point; he said : "Fellow citizens, I have seen a bigger crowd than this, a larger gath ering, a more numerous assemblage." This was not all the Governor said, but we've got the cream, for the state ment that he "had seen a bigger crowd than this" was an admission that the convention and t lie anti-Til 1 man move ment in Edgefleld county was in the nine hole most emphatically. There were enough present, however, to get a delegation to the March Convention, eminently respectable and patriotic, but misguided gentlemen who have gone into the soup head over heels. Their names are as follows : LShepawtlr-BrrJj^H^fir^ .. crowd ^jouxned white Capt^bcauiitore B.By ? celebrated. ?ttar?ckePTbom w>] Creek, ??toi" thal goo^joi?^n? : -^ijamburgiiKtfesl YoJir'?ake's all dough ; .

This the Judge's first appearance Edgefield and he has made a i impression on both the bar and spectators, and without mak any extra effort he carries iDusiness of the Court al< ?moothly and rapidly. Solicitor Nelson and Ste grapher McFeat are at their p< as usual. Up to this writing the follow cases on the criminal docket h been heard and disposed of : In the case ?f the State aga Willis Griffin, charged with h< stealing, the prisoner plea guilty and was sentenced to penitentiary for seven months. Ed. Davis, indicted for carr) concealed weapons was defer by Jno. B. Lanier, Esq., and quitted. Robert Bouknight, indicted murder and defended by Shep] Bros. and acquitted. Wm. Ramey, assault and bat with intent to kill was fo guilty and sentenced to the p tentiary for 18 months. Davis Carpenter, charged 1 abduction, was found guilty. In the case of the State ag? Maroney, indicted for murder, S. Tompkins, Esq. secured bai the prisoner in the the sun $1500.. -.- Davis indicted for rap? defended by Jno. B. Lanier, '. and acquitted. O. D. White indicted for tres defended by Sheppard Bros., acquitted. A NEW COTTON GIN. Mr. J. D. McAnulty, of Cat county, N. C., has invented a c gin which is likely to revoluti cotton ginning, and be as far ahe the present gins as the old Wh gin was ahead of the cotton hand ing process. . The new gin is a double gin, an do twice or three times the work most improved modern gin. The are crecent shaped and clean 1 selves with each revolution they The method of seeding is entirely ferent from the present way. stead of putting the seed cott( from the top it reaches the saws the bottom, and all foreign ma sand, nails, or matches, is exe and drops with the seed instead t ing ovei' the saws. A Liverpool Arm has examine cotton ginned and pronounced i flnest ever seen. It is clear to any man disposed to look with unprejudiced eyes upon the situation that the Democrats of South Carolina are in great danger of dis ruption and disintegration than at any time in the history of the party since it wrested control of the govern ment from the powers of misrule and corruption.-Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer. [ With such lugubrious forebodings harrowing his soul it is a wonder that our contemporary doesn't say some thing, or do something to prevent the dire calamities he predicts, follow the advice for instance, of his fellow townsman, Gen. J. H. Earle. EDGEFLELD NEEDS Better streets, Better lights, And Protection against lire. Let this be the supreme effort of our town authorities for 1892. To build much of a town-and that is the kind we want-we must get out side help-people and capital from abroad. To capture the eye and convince the judgment of outsiders we must show faith in ourselves and the future of our town by some practical, substan tial, permanent improvements. Let us get together on water works for instance. We may have to go slow and rest between whiles, but we mustn't stop. If we do, we'll slip back. Other towns get there, why not Edgefleld? ALL ABOUT COUNTY COM MISSIONERS. . In 1890 the people of South Carolina voted an amendment to the State Con stitution which abolished the office of county commisioner, but the statute law in reference to that office remains unrepealed, ant' the best lawyers of the ! State are in a dilemma as to whether there can be a legal election for county commissioners this year, or whether the present boards will hold over un der that omnibus clause of the Consti tution or statutes or something else, which provides that "all officers shall hold over until their successors are qualified." To run-over, or to hold over, that is the question. It is safer, all things considered, to run over, beloved, for if you run over and are elected you'll be there, even though it should transpire that you would have held over if you hand'nt run over. But if you don't run over and don't hold over, where will you be? A. COXV-KRSATIOX.

Anderson died si denly yesterday afternoon at home at Moore, in Spartanbi county. He had been sick for t or three weeks from an attack grip, but his condition was : considered serious and his sud( taking off was a terrible shod his family and friends. Gen. Anderson was a son of '.
