The Legislature meets this year on the 22nd of November, as early a date as it is possible for it to meet. - Gen* Weaver^ the Thiwl party candidate for President, ' has cancelled his appointment to speak in this Slate and Georgia. The . General is wise in his day and generation. 1 A great many counties in South Carolina have Confederate survi vors associations, but Edgefield, we are ashamed to say has no such organization, although the bones j of her son who were in the Con federate army bleach on every! battle field from Pennsylvaina to | Florida. Bamberg, Barnwell county, has a cotton mill that cost only $75,000, and yet the finest machinery has been put into it, of the latest and most improved patterns, and will manufacture 40 per cent more a day than the old style machinery. How is this for a pointer to Edgefield? There is some talk of Tom Watson and Ben Tillman having a joint debate in this State, the issue being Third par ty i sm. The News and Courier and The State are urging the matter, patting our Ben on the back, "seekin' " him on, and predicting that [the Governor will give him such A drubbing as he will remember, Ah ! beloved contemporiaries, Timeo da?aos et dona ferentes. We have no doubt that Gov. Till man could do up Watson if he should essay the task, but its a| Georgia funeral and he will have nothing to with it. if he takes our ? advice. NOT A CANDIDATE. We clip the following from the Augusta Herald, of one or two days since, Mr. Townes thinks that Edgefield has enough ornees todo her for awhile, and he is not in the race for superintendent of the penitentiary at Columbia : Hon. H.H. Townes, of Edge field, a delegate to the late state convention at Columbia, was in Augusta to-day and was seen by a Herald reporter. Mr. Townes says the Democratic party of South Carolina is in the best possible condition and that the old Palmetto State will cast her electoral votes for Cleveland and Stevonson by a large majority. Mr. Townes, whose name has been used in connection with the position of superintendent of the penitentiary at Columbia, when asked about the matter, said he was not and would not be a can didate, and he, under the present condition of affairs, did not think himself or any Edgefield i ought to be a candidate for position. Edgefield county, present, ha3 her full quota state and federal offices. Mr. Townes is.one of the 1 popular and. solid citizens of Edgefield, "and fully appreci the many honors confered on county by the Democracy South Carolina. ; Mr. S. G. Mayfield, a ' Barn county farmer, planted this j SS acras irr tobacco.1 From th 33 acres he has gathered f: 1,200 to 1,750 pounds per acre, has sold it at an average of cents per pound, receiving some of it as high as 26 cents pound. Mr. Mayfield avers t the growing and housing of crop has cost him less than per acre, yielding him gross $ per acre. Putting the cost shipping and marketing at $30 ] acre Mr. Mayfield claims that has cleared $100 for each of 33 acres that he planted 1 spring. Of course the result this experiment has enthused I farmers of Barnwell and they i going pell-mell into the culture tobacco. Immediately after the rect primary, South Carolina bor dropped to 921-2, and every ma of the opposition papers w< quick' to call attention to the fa and intimate that it was evidence of the fact that capital ii were afraid of South Carolii securities. But on Saturday, 1G inst., those some bonds went i to 96, and not one of them, so i as we have seen, has had the gra to speak of it.' If any injury h been done to the credit of the sta if there has been any deprecate of our bonds, if investors ha been made afraid of our security it has been caused by the persi tency with which the daily pre ot the state which had the ear financial circles, constantly par ded before them that the Tillnai administration was making w upou capital. And we opine ; th when these investors have con to look over the field and.see th the administration has be< endorsed by an overwhelming m jority of the men who constitu the bone and sinew of the Sta they have concluded that Soul Carolina securities are about i safe as any. And the proof of it found in the fact, that those bon< have advaced to 96 and the bli bonds which bear only 4 1-2 pt cent, interest are worth 100 cent on the dollar. These bonds at a low rate < interest have a long time to. 'rm while these others at a higher rai will mature in less than a yea and herein is doubtless found th true reason for any depreciatio that may exist, for investors i that class of securities would nat urally prefer a long time bone The credit bf a state, like. th credit of an indiyidual^ft?^ure (^capacity anet willingly iU?'paj and measured by. that, a Soutl Carolina security is a gilt edg investment for the ability of th state is shown in the fact that th property of the state behind th bonds is worth at a fair casi valuation near three hundrei millions of dollars, and its willin guess is shown in the fact tha every obligation of the state ha; been met at maturity, the intereB on the. debt has been promptlj paid and that without borrowing a cent of money. The attacks up on the credit of the state hav< been causeless and factious, anc if made upon the credit of a priv: ate individual would ruin it nc matter what his means were oi however well known his willing ness to pay.-Peoples Advocate.

THE ELBE WATEI A NEWSPAPER MAN DARES BEAT! ' FOR SCIENCE'S SAKE. TJhe Adventures of the Kew Y o ri Herald's Special Corresponden! in the Cholera Hospitals ol Hamburg After Bein?; Inocula ted with Cholera in Paris. [Piora the New York Herald's] EPPENDORF, HAMBURG. Septem ber 22.~"Good God I how you reek of cholera!" This was the cheerful greeting of the young physician who is busy in the cholera ward here. I had slept during the past night in one of the pavilions. It was on the floor we slept, but it was luxury compared to the night in Ward F. I had been amusing myself by taking the temperature of the doctor. Our heads were ?very near together. We were both looking at thermometer when he made the-exclamation. 'THAT ELBE WATER. "You will be done with it to.day," he added pleasantly. "It's that Elbe water you took yesterday This being the case I haue hurried through with this letter and will have it posted at once, for I know how suddently cholera disables a man both morally and physically. This is wonderfully good news and has cheered me up immensely. If I am struck down the result will be of negative value, because it will merely go to show that so far the Hafikine inoculation is null. On the other hand, if I do not have the cholera I can yet show that I have passed the cholera germs through my intestines. This will go further than aught else to demonstrate the value of the inoculation to which I have submitted. WHAT IS IN THE FUTURE. If it is so the Herald will have made a great discovery, interesting to every human being I shall proceed at once to have the ne cessary bactereological examina tion made. I must apologize to the six gentlemen with whom I sat down to eat this evening. I had omitted to take the usual precaution. My hands, had they known it, reeked of cholera. You laymen possibly don't know how overpowering the smell of cholera is. You professional men do. I But I behaved loyally at that meal, touched nothing that I did not eat, nothing that I with my cholera smirched hands, had touched went beyond me. ALMOST CHOKED HIMSELF. In this conscientious effort I nearly choked myself eating a large piece of black bread. I could not leave it. Any morsel of lt would prodably have been infectious... It had to^go do^Rp? . '^O?e of the principal warnings, and upon which Herr Director Rumpf had laid stress, was that which prohibited eating with un cleansed hands. That is the surest way to take this illness. There was yet another rule which is looked upon as one of the principal and to which Herr Rumpf had specially called my attention. It was that referring to the extreme care which Bhould be taken not to put one's fingers to the mouth. All through the day I handled cholera patients in every condi tion. I should not be justified in a a paper not strictly and technically medical in detailing too much of the realistic side of the picture It would be too grewsome for the general reader. Suffice it to say that I undertook all the details of nursing cholera patients. But the point of it all is that I cons tantly not only rubbed my hands over my mouth immediately after touching the sick, but inserted my fingers into my mouth. This I reported probably twenty times dunug the day. A SEVERE TEST. In the evening at 10.30 I had just served the patient Offermann with soda water and seltzer. He was one of the cases marked "very bad." When he had finished with the mug I took it into the bath room, drained out the rest of the soda water and carefully allowed my lips to dwell upon the edges af the mug exactly where his had been. This certainly put me into immediate contact with the chol are microbe. Offermann is now Dne of the "goue caBes." IMPORTANT TRIALS. Thus in one day with my sys tem thoroughly open to infection -.which always preys quicker up >n the stranger coming into con tact with the disease thai, upon mother-I have made the fol owing essays : First. I have touched food with ny hands virtually reeking with moler?. Second. I have handled chol era patients constantly and after yard put my hands in my mouth. Third. I have drank from the lame mug after a cholera patient, ouching with my mouth the >dges where he had touched. Fourth I have slept in the bed )f a dead cholera patient and he we en two patients in an active itate of the disease. Fifth. I have drank of water vb.ich comes from the Elbe, and vb ich is the cause of all the ill less here. I got the water from lutside the door of Ward F. Sixth. I have drank water from he Elbe taken from the river it lelf at the point just outside the vater-works which supply the own. This last test I made yes .erday, drinking two glasses at 6 relock in the evening. My tem perature -was thou 36.6 centigrade. Seven. I haye eaten a roll and butter which had been in th pocket of mv canvas jacket fe several hours in the ward, and at it immediately after, having sup ported and handled one of ou very worst cases. A GRE Wt OME CASE. The case was on which came h yesterday afteenoon and he wa laid in tha bed where Schultz ha< died the night previously. He wai in a state-of collapse. A salt wa ter infusion was tried, an( strangely enough he bled pro fusely. At 2.45 he came in anc at 3.20 I was holding his righ arm. His pulse had been verj weak and failed entirely. He wai dead. Immediately after that, witt my hands covered with his blood and strong smell of- cholera upon them, I ate my bread and buttei without washing my hands. This, of course, was strictly against the rules of Ward F. or indeed, of any other ward. Eating among chol era patients is tempting death in a reckless manner. But let rae tell Dr Manchot that I ate by stealth so as in nc way to give a bad exampley to the other nurses. HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE; You will remember how I told you of young Wojton, who was my left hand neighbor of the nighl I slep in Ward F. He died during the day after a long fight in which youth and a magnificent physique went for nothing How that mac did fight ! I shall never forger it. Within a few minutes of Wojton'f. death the fireman, who was in tht opposite bed, died, and the mar who had lain next 1 to my righi hand neighbor, Norritz,. and whe had died parted company. ThuE the two on the right and the. twe on the left of me as I slept on thc ghastly night are dead. Ward F. has many empty bedi now. STANHOPE. A CARD.
