Edgefield Advertiser THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1892. THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR GOT. Tillman, we understand, is in favor of a primary for all offices from Governor down, and- up. Not one-third of the counties are pay ing any attention to the call of the Thirteen for a March Coa vent ion. Cob Ellison Keitt, of Newbery, says the financial system of the world is radically wrong and has been so since the time of Abraham. There are about forty Tom Cats on South Carolina's front piazza. The March Convention will turn on its hose to settle the dust and the fur Pickens Sentinel. Josephus Woodruff, who was clerk, of the South Carolina Senate under the Republican administration, died in Philadelphia on th? 21st of February and was buried in Charleston. The new editor of the Columbia Register, Larry Ganto is much of a humorist, and his editorial in Satur day's issue tendering. a~ complete sur render to the News and Courier to avoid an' everlasting* Var of words on a dry-ae-dnst subject is 1 equal to Mark Twain in his happiest efforts. .The South Carolina Industrial and Winthrop Normal. College has been awarded to Anderson, that town hav ing offered $75,000 and an eligible site. Thanks to the*; efforts of: Governor Tillman the girls of the State will soon enjoy the advantages of a college where they can receive training as teachers and become skilled in every industrial art. Mr. Larry. Gantt, who has recently been connected with the Southern Alliance Farmer,. the Alliance organ of Georgia, and who has taken a promi nent part in Georgia politics, has taken charge of the editorial manage ment of the Columbia Register. Mr Gantt is. a thorough Democrat and bas no sympathy with the Third Party movement. Mr. Gantt is a South Carolinian by birth. SPLEEN AND VENOM. In the language of our popular fel low citizen, Col. D. A. G. Ouzts, Gen Hampton has again "blowed off his mouth." There was a time in the history of this State when if Hampton '-blowed off bis mouth'- it had its effect, but now we can say of bim is that he has .;.>.?.- "*?ff his mouth," and the blowing I'JL ; .

To our miud, the foregoing extract simply means that the Thirteen when they me?t on the ??ftb March "should, according to Hampton's advice, order a primary, and that negroes be allowed to vote in that primary, and if the op position to Tillman, counting negroes and all, makes a majority against him in the State, then Hampton's counsel is that "they, as the true Democratic party, should assume control not only of the policy to be pursued in the ap proaching canvass, .but of the State itself;" and thus he who said "an inde pendent is worse than a Radical," him self becomes an independent. HIS VOICE FOB PEACE. We publish on oar first page a 1I speech by Hon. W. C. Benet, of Abbe ville, at a farmer's meeting in that county on the 5th of March. This speech ought to be read by every Democrat in South Carolina. Mr Benet, as is well known, was opposed to Tillman in {?he last campaign be cause he thought then that the move ment was the result of Tillman and not Tillman the result of the move " ment. He says now that "the cam paign of 1890 marked a revolution in "the history of a party. , "It was a permanent change and not 'a fleeting chance. "It was the success of a Movement, j j "and not of a Man. "It was the uprising of the people ; "and not the elevation of Capt. Till man." Speaking of. the thirteen-in calling their March Convention he says "the thirteen have made a great mis "take, they have blundered, and "blunder is as fatal in politics as in "love or war. "They have blundered in not learn "ing the lessons of history as found in "the books and on the living pages of "recent and passing events. "The campaign proposed by the I ' "thirteen can only result in the crea ' "tion of two factions, separated by J "gulf of hate and bitterness that will "not be bridged over in a generation. "Let us deprecate any such action, and 'fight together as good Democrats "against a common enemy. "My voice is for peace and harmony "and for the people of South Carolina; "and my tight is for our party and "against faction.'.' - These brief extracts will give our readers some idea of the general tenor of the speech, but we hope none of them will forbear to read it all. UNFORTUNATE. Gen. J. D. Kennedy, of Camden, thinks the March Convention called by the Thirteen a mistake. Gen. Kennedy says in a letter to the News and Cou rier : "I hold that there isnoauthority "that can call a convention of the "Democratic party except the State "committee, nor is there any provision "for any wing or faction of the party "to call one. # . * * * "Would it not have been more pru "dent before deciding on a line of ac tion, to have a conference of one qr "more representative men from each "county, instead of thirteen gentlemen, "however able, patriotic, and deserv ing, undertaking to decide what; "should be done? * * * * # / "Was not this call for a convention "unfortunate? The General is opposed "to a pri mary -for State officers; he says: "As to the approaching convention.or dering a direct primary, if a demand "for it be refused, I fail to see any f where any authority for it. However "desirable it might be, will not such a "course make confusion worse cor "founded, . produce greater dishar mony and eventuate in all probability "in permanent and irremediable divi sion?? PEASE AND HOMINY. The thirteen, who say they are for peace and harmony, have made a mis take; it's simply pease and hominy they're ?f ter. "STRADDLEISM." . -- The Greenville News is in favor of the Farmers' Movement teeth an toe nail, but is opposed to Tillman teeth j and toe nail. This is what the Colum bia Record calls "Straddleism." A PHENOMENAL BLUNDER. The Hon. Walter Hazzard, of George town, thinks the Thirteen March Con vention a mistake. Gen. Kennedy, of Camden, thinks so too; so dees the Hon. S. P. Hamilton, of Chester. Hon. W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, says it is a blunder. Senator Butler thinks so, and so do most of our members of Congress in thc lower House. The News and Courier is of the same Way of thinking; and so on and so fortn. This newspaper is auti-Tilluian, but it claims discernment enough to see a plain fact before us and until some one can make it clear to us that more than a divided one-fifth of the Demo cratic party is in favor of an opposi tion candidate, we think good policy and a love for the welfare of the State, would dictate non-action on the part of the anti-Tiliman men in 1S92. The opponents of Tillman, at most, can only further excite the people, ata time when harmony and gj?tpd feeling should prevail. The office of Governor is a nonentity. He can do very little good, and his power for harm is exceedingly limited Then is there any use to quarrel about so trifling a matter?-Press and Ban ner. HYPOTHETICAL. The following hypothetical conver sation between a citizen and a stranger visiting our town with a view of lo fting, might be a real one and no de pr.) *LTe from the truth : ] Stranger^:-"How much property does your lown own?" Cir Izen: --'-A wheel-barrow, three ?hovels, and two picks. We did have a mule but SHLC. kicked and we sold her." Stfoii?rer?-"Isn't. that ji ridiculous, showing of "possessions for a town the siztrvof Edgefield?' : Citizen :-"It looks that way to a trian up a tree,' and^things have got to L?i-& a turn, stranger, for I won't live In af town that don't own anything." Stranger :-"You haye no water works?" Citizen :-"No water-works but the water that is worked down the throats of those who frequent our barrooms." Stranger :-"No fire engine or hook md ladder company?" Citizen :-"None of these things bave we." Stranger :-"Rut you have a night watchman?" Citizen ;-"No Sir-no night-watch man." Stranger :-"Well my friend, if with ill this property, hundreds of thou sands of dollars worth belonging to. your citizens, your town has not even i night-watchman, yours is a sleepy boliow indeed ; and yet it is a most beautiful location, healthy and salu brious, and ane of the most eligible sites for a manufacturing or educa tional centre I know, but my friend rou are too awfully slow. I will spend :he night in your burg, but in the norning I must shake off the dust from my feet." The PeopleJAre The Masters. At piesent we believe there is considerable disaffection from the Tillman ranks, but we do not be lieve that Tillman can be beaten. We do not believe the opposi tion, no matter what its numeri cal strength, can beat Tillman for the simple reason that they divided imongst themselves. There are at [east two factions in the ranks of the opposition-the Haskellites md the au ti-H a sk ell i tes. The great mass of the Demo uratic party- will be slow to give their Votes to any bolter. Tillman is a bitter pill to many [>f onr people, but it is the pa triotic duty of every good citizen to maintain the integrity of the party in South Carolina. We believe in a rule by the peo ple, and if a majority of the Democratic party name a candi date, then it is our duty to sup port him, We have nothing to jain by going back on our neighbors and friends. We have averything to lose by quitting tin company of our kindred and the naen of our own race. We have a right to beat Tillman, if we can, but we are in honor bound to atick to the nomination after it is made. ..At present the opposition to Tillman can not harmonise. The newspapers can not get on the same platform, and the individual members of the opposition are un alterably divided. It may not .be that the bolters are trying to take charge of the Democratic party, but it looks a little that way to us. The other wing of the Democratic party which opposed Tillman is, we presume, as much opposed to giving the management of the party to the bolters, as they are to Skiving the Governorship to B. R. Kilman. Harmony then is out of the question. "Without harmony, we can do nothing against Tillman's organized forces.-Abbovillo Press and Banner. Flour Mills. A dispatch published in The Sunday News last Sunday, states that Mr. J. H. Johnson, of Blakely, Minnesota, who is described as being au ardent advocate of Farmers' Alliance doctrines, has published a letter to the farmers urging them to organize Farmers' AlliancemillingassociationSjWhich has excited a great deal of interest and comment in his neghborhood. Mr. Johnson, who is himself the owner of a fifty barrel flour mill, maintains, as reported, that the farmers of the Dakotas and Minnesota alone, "have lost $28,0CO,000 on wheat sold up to December 8, 1891, of this year's crops,"'and proceeds to show the farmers "their folly in not building their own mills and thereby securing $1 a bushel for their wheat with a ton of feed per hundred bushels, together with some minor advantages. Any community that can produce 75,000 bushels of wheat," he says, "can thereby keep a fifty-barrel mill running for a year, and such a mill can be built for $7,000." This is the testimony of a practical miller, whose experience has been acquired in the heart of the chief wheat raising and Ljur making district of the country, and there appears to be matter in it which is worthy of the consideration of some of the farmers in South Carolina. The main points are as follows : "Any community, district or county," says Mr. Johnson, that can produce 75,000 bushels of wheat can keep fifty barrel mill running. "South Carolina produced 992,000 : bushels of wheat last year, as that number 16 reported by the United States agricultural department-and probably pro dueedover amillioii bushels, if all were reported. On this basis thc State, or the upper counties, whore most of the wheat is raised, would support a dozen fifty-barrel flour mills, which would be a notable addition to the industrial equipment of those counties and of the State. . , No particular attention was paid to wheat raising in this State last year, we believe. It is probable, then, that tire 1,000,000 bushel crop ef last year could easily bo doubled and if so then the wheat growing section could easily support twenty I or more fifty-barrel mills. There [is not a county in the sectioL prob ably tba*" could not readily grow 150,000 or 209,000 bushels, at least, and this would give pros perous mills to each county. The cost of constructing a mill of the indicated capacity, as stated I by an expert, is $7,000. This is much less than the cost of a cotton factory nor is there a commnnity in the up country that cannot afford to build such a mill, and that would not be glad to build one, with or without pecuniary aid from the farmers. The presence of a mill in any county would be un in du oom ont and a- help-to- the wheat farmers to raise more wheat ; more farmers would go into the business ; and a diversification of crops would be effected in that region. The "minor advantages" to the farmers of having for use or sale all the by-products of their wheat-bran, Beconds and shorts we take it are too fully understood to require more than mere mention The mills need not be confined to flour making. It was stated a few days ago by a business man of Charleston that 60,000 barrels of "grits," are imported into the State from the West every year-our people paying thousands of dollars annually for this one article which could as well be produced'at home, and getting a product that is cnferior in every quality except whiteness to the home-made article. As much may be said of cornmeal,,which is imported at a cost of many thousands more the aggregate for corn and corn products alone running up into the millions annually. The local flour mills could supplement their wheat products with corn products equally to their own advantage and that of the farmers, who would thus have a new and valuable outlet for their corn crops. Any community that can pro duce 75,000 bushels of wheat, says Mr. Johnson, can keep a fifty barrel flour mill running for a year and the mill can be built for $7,000. Any agricultural or other commu nity in South Carolina, therefore, that thinks such a mill and its attendant advantage worth the having would do well to look into the subject, consult Mr. Johnson, and take steps to have a mill built 'by the time the next wheat crop matures.-News and Courier. Try This on Your Roses. Everybody in Augusta who grows roses had trouble with the bugs and worms infesting both the plants and tho flowers last year. On account of these peBts very few perfect rosee were seen here either in thc spring or fall, and the insects seemed to be woree on tho lovely Mar?chal Neils, of which there are so many more in Augusta gardens ' than of any other variety; In the Philadelphia Record we see that Mr. William Spooner, the president of the Massachusetts horticultural society tnd veteran rose grower of Jamaica plaius, recommends white hellebore for keeping off the peels that infest the rosee. The hellebore can be had at any of the drug stores. Mr. Spooner commences as soon as the plants como into leaf, and by a persistent URO of it keeps tho foliage in fine shape, as all can testify who have seen his roses on oxhibiton. Let our rose growers cut this out for future reference, and try the white hellbore on their rosee I h's spring.-Augusta Newe. Woman's Dainty Underwear. Just what sort of underwear to assnro is one question that troubles tho average woman very much. She doesn't wan to wear so much that it will bo bulky and she doesn't want to wear too little for fear she will catch cold. She trie) first one and then another shaped gar ment, and the wise woman is she who having at last hit upon that which ii most comfortable, makes it most daint] and assumes it for good. " Very little linen is used nowadays for one's lingerie the preference being given to cambric Victoria lawn, nainsook or percale. Thc hist is noted with tiny dots or wee flow era in pink, blue or lavender upon tht white ground. Then when the garment is finished the edges have a triple seal lop or a sharp point embroidered in cot ton of the same color as the figure. Thii material, with its simple finishVis likes for sack shaped chemises, for night dresses and for drawers. It is seldom, if ever, used for skirts. The fancy for silk nightdresses stiL exists, but as there always have beet women who would wear nothing but tht clear white lawn or nainsook, and ai these women are many, the makers oi underwear are specially catering tc them. Very muon more fine work, thal is, handwork, can be put upon a nain eook gown than upon a silk one, and tht needlewoman can make more fine tucks, fancy stitches, gatherings, hemstitch ing and drawing of threads than evei would seem possible.-Mrs. Malton in Ladies' Home Journal ?1 _. . * The Bay eux Tapestry.

Mist Strickland says of this piece of work: "It is beyond all competition the-] most wonderful achievement in the gen tle craft of neodlework that ever wa* executed by fair and royal hands." , It was done by Matilda of Flanders wife of William the Conqueror, and the ] ladies of her court It is a coarse linen | cloth, 214 feet long and 20 inches wide, on which is worked in woolen thread of various cobra a representation of the invasion and conquest of England by the Normans. lt contains the figures of about 026 men. 200 horses, fifty-five dogs, forty ships a LIJ bunts, besides a quantity ot quadrupeds, birds, trees, houses, castles and churches, all executed in the propel color?, with names and inscriptions over them to elucidate the story, lt is a valuable historic document, as it gives a correct and minute portraiture of the Norman costumes and their manners and sfttutoms.- Woman's Work.
