Edgefield Advertiser TH OS. J. ADAMS, ...... EDITOR. THURSDAY, NOV. 3,1892 ie Democratic lided : FOR PRESIDENT: GROVER CLEVELAND, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: ADLAI E. STEVENSON, OF ILLINOIS Spartan burg is to have a Cotton Exchange with Mr. Chas. Speights at its head. Nineteen babies who were christ ened in New. York last week were named after Columbus, and when the enfant terrible was a girl she was christened Columbia. Let every Democrat get up his registration ticket and be ready, to | march to the polls bright and early on, the 8th of November1-| next Tuesday-and vote for Till man and Cleveland. Abbeville has secured the work shops of the Georgia, Carolina, and Northern Railway Company. This will k've our sister towna boom permanent and healthy with no mushroom business about it. The trade issue last week of the Aiken Journal & Review was a most creditable piece of woi k. And it is hoped at no distant day, when our grand hotel and water works are accomplished facts, that some one of our Edgefield papers may essay the same paths' as y?t un trodden in Edgefield journalism. . . The services of Gov. Tillman have been sought by the Demo crats of Tennessee to aid them in their canvass against Harrison. He has a again been solicited to go to North Carolina. Gov Till man has a national reputation ne a great leader of men. The pressure | of State business has prevented his acceptance of any of these invitations. A hotel with 6,124 rooms is the latest creation among Chicago's enterprises auxiliary to the World's Fair. A hotel that will cover ten acres of ground and put a roof over the heads of as manypeople as could be housed in ten establish ments the size of the Palmer HouSe is the size of the one projec ted. The plan is the resnlt of an effort to supply World's Fair visitors with sleeping accommoda tions. a| one dollar a night each. COLUMBUS WASN'T IN IT. The celebration of the discovery of America by the four hundied children of the Graded School tinder the leadership of Prof. Duffie and assistants, was witnessed by three hundred persons.?-Sumter Watchman. A most wonderful story, that 400 Sumter school children discovered America and that Prof. Duffie helped 'em do it 1 The Watchman must make credible statements if it wishes to find believers. THE LAW DOES IT. * Gold is no more money than is paper. Nothing is money in any full legal sense until it will pay a debt without a possibility of are fusal. You cannot compel a cred itor to accept uncoined gold, and ninety-nine hundredths of them would refuse to do so. It is not intrinsic value but the government fiat that makes gold coin good for 1 all debts, both public and private. ] Within the jurisdiction of the J United States intrinsic value is of no account whatever in establish ing the character of money. It is law that does it.-Spartanburg Herald. j One would suppose from the ( above editorial utterance that the \ Herald is a Greenback or a Third ! Party paper, but it is far from it, and really believes, no doubt, that | ] the United States could call in all the silver quarters in circulation, re-coin and re-stamp them each as one dollar, and that they would pasB as such simply because the "law does it." 1 Those Fraudulent Bonds. I] Gov. Tillman is right when he says- that the State cannot be ( forced to recognize the repudiated ' fraudulent bonds owned by in- ^ terested capitalists,, and will never <lo it, no matter what the cost may * bo. In this position he will find * himself unanimously supported by * ihe taxpayers of the State. Those * bonds were fraudulently issued by the gang of freebooters, foisted 11 upon the State by Federal power and kept there by the same means The native white South Carolinians ^ ihe the payers of the State, had no ? voice in the matter' and made no 1 promise, either dirct or implied, to meet the obligations contracted by this alien white and native negro State government The bonds loing fraudulent to start with, ....opudiation was an act of justice to f ( ??hose upon whom the burden of t payment woul d have fallen ; there- I ".ore an attempt to force the State, i at this late day, to recognize those 1 ?*mds and make provision for ? ?heir payment is both foolish and i lisoless: v South Carolina can and muBt e ?pay all her honest debts' but those bonds will not be paid so long as the white taxpayers rule the State-Sumter Watchman. The Snake's Hot Meal. A young professional gentleman of this city recently travelled over land to Tappahannock. On the route he discovered a large black snake slowly crawling among the branches of a tree that stood by I the roadside. Following the snake I with his eyes, the observer 'saw, an unusually large hornet's neBt I attached to one of the branches of the tree and toward which the' snake was advancing. When close to the nest the snake coiled itself about a limb, released its tail, and with it gave Be vera! hard raps upon the exterior of the nest, as if knocking for admission. The noise of the blow and the swaying of the nest caused the hornets to leave their home apd I prepare for an attack upon the in truder. The snake ceased tapping with its tail as soon as the hornets left the nest, uncoiled itself, and quickly disappeared, taking the place of the hornets within tfceir Presently the snake's head was seen to peer out,. and his bright j eyes .glistened as he adticipted a feast from which the bravest man would shrink with fear. The snake drew his head within the entrance hole to the nest till nothing was | seen of it except an occasional forked tongue, that darted in and out with lightning rapidity. ^Thinking the coast clear the hornets began to return to their nest, when the snake took them in as rapidly as they could enter. Watching the proceeding for some time, our informant concluded that all ihe hornets had been safely hived, and he stood up in his buggy, tap ped the nest with his whip and awaited the result. . No hornets appearing, the nest was knocked t othe ground, opened and his snakeship discovered in a torpid condition with his size greatly increased. That snake was killed and a postmortem held with the follow ing result : Stomach stuffed with dead hornets. ?s Mr. W. S. White, attorney fori the commonwealth for Stafferd! county, vouches for the truth of the story.-Fredricksburg Lance. He Didn't Wait for Him. Not long ago in St. Louis one of those unfortunate creatures called "mashers" sent to an estimable young German lady a letter, adding this postscript : P. S.-That my darling may make no mistake, remember that I will wear a light pair of pants and a dark cutaway coat. In my right hand I will carry small cane and in my left a cigar. Yours, forever, ADOLPHUS. The father replied courteously, stating that his daughter had given him authority to represent her al. the appointed time and place. The postscript added wa as follows : P. S.-Dot mine son may make no mistakes, I will be dreshed in mine shirt sieves, viii vear in mine right hand a glub and mine left a six-shooter. You, viii re cognize me by der 'vay I bats you on der head a goople dimes mit der glub. Vait for me at der gorner, aa I have somedings inbor tant to inform jrou mit. Your frent, HENRICH MULLER. A Family of Four Burned to] Death. CLEVELAND, Oct. 26.-Fire ear ly this morning destroyed the building occupied by James Shan non and John Mc G in ty, saloon keepers, and Frank Maun, barber, j t somer Central avenue and Har-11 riet street. Shannon and his family lived in upper section of | < the structure. They were burned to death, being overcome by smoke before assistance could be ren lered. The family consisted of 11 Tames Shannon, his wife and two sons. The bodies were in an un-11 recognizable condition when re covered. Financial loss $3,000; fully insured. Boasted Alive in a Lime Kiln. LIMA, 0, Oct.-At the weston lime quarries this afternoon, some >f the men had just finished bum ing a kiln of lime, and were in the ict of shuttin$it up, when one of the logs standing upon end, used is a brace, caught fire. Two of the men, while trying to extinguish the flames, got on top of the kiln, tfhich gave way, precipating them m the red hot lime. The top fell in on them, and it was impossible to get at them, and they were roas ted alive. Their groans and cries ?vere terrible to hear. One man held on to a bar overhead and was rescued. The straight out Tillman demo crats of Pickens could as consis ;ently and far more truly turn Bowden's Manifesto back on him ind successfully charge him with ill the crimes of which he accuses ;hem. All of this talk about sen ;iments and partican polities is :he merest bosh. You may call it ffhatyou please, but the only safe iolitics for South Carolina is for ;he white people to stick together igainst alien radicals and negroes. Sowden or any other man who seeks to divide them by encour tging disloyalty to the party is an ?nemy to good g?%verment. Pickens Sentinel. It is probably true that there ire more mule and horse colts in jreenville County at this time han at any period since the war, mt th ere are not one-ten th as nany as the situation demands. Hie raising of colts means that rreater attention will be given to ?asturage, and that the grasses rill be'cultivated to a much greater xrent. Greenville Knterprize. - t; THE ELECTION UPON US How The State Leaders View Thc National Contest-Senator Irby Interviewed. Senator Irby reached the city yesterday afternoon. He was seen by a reporter and asked to give an expression of his views upon the political condition of the State. "I think," he said, "that Sonth Carolina will go overwhelmingly for Cleveland. I have written the Democratic county chairmen and received replies from every county except Yorfc, Chester, and Greenville. With the single ex ception of Sumter, where the cou nty chairman says the Republi cans will get a majority for their Presidential electors and Con gressional candidate, the reports are all the same and indicate Democratic supremacy." "What do you think will be the vote polled by the third party?" "Well, we have 102,000 white voters in the State. In the late Democratic primary election 000 voted. The third party may account for the remaining 14.000 voters. Even this, however, I do not admit. I realy do not believe there will be 6,000 third party votes cast in the State. The only reports I have received that indie ate any vote for that party is in Pickens, Ocor.ee and a part of Anderson. In the other counties they do not include one out of twenty voters. In Aiken the coun ty chairman says that if there ifi any third party supporters in the county he has not heard of them." "Will any of the farmers who voted in the recent primary vote for Weaver?" "No. It is an insult for any one to say so. They know that the oath binds them as much to sustain the national as the State nominees. "Since 18761 have?never known farmers to prove disloyal to the party. They were openly indignant at the town people voting against Tillman for Haskell in 1890. Surely now they would not com mit a greater crime by forswearin g themeslves and renigging' on the Democratic nominees. The leader of the third party in this State hon estly abstained from- voting because he intended voting for General Weaver. He now would not bo so unfair as to ask a man ivho did participate in the primary to vote for the third party nomi nees. "The friends of Governor Till man who have stood by him in two elections could not afford to vote for a third party candidate in this election because it would justify the bolt against the regular Demo cracy in 1890 in favor of Judge Easkell. The men who sustained Baskell tn 1890 were under no oath to vote the Democratic ticket." The Senator waB informed that the State had inquired very inxiously on several occasions vhat disposition he had made of the party funds. "When I was elected State chair nan," he said, there was about &2-,000 in the -treasury. There fe low nearly $3,000, and sixteen ?ounties are yet to hear from. In iddition to this," he said with a winkle in his eye, "I have whipped m Independent State ticket, and im now prepared to clean up the Republican and third parties." Senator Irby will remain in Columbia until Tuesday. He will open regular headquarters ?ere for the party on election day. 0 look after the interest of the larty-Register._ Tack Down With Matrimony. 1 stopped for the night at a house )verlooking the Cumberland river lear its source in Kentucky, says 1 writer in the Detroit Free Press, ind after supper I had taken leaton the front porch and was alking with the owner of the muse, and my host, temporarily. "Is the young lady who waited ra the tabla your daughter?" nquired after a short and desu ory colloquy on the crops. "Yes ; purty likely gal, ain't she? ie answered, with a fatherly pride "Very handsome; much more so han most of tho girls I have seen n thib section," I answered rankly. , He pulled his chair over closer o mine in a confidential way. "Do you know much about gals? ie inquired almost in a whis >er. "Some little by observation. I've mown a good many during a long ind more or less eventful life in hat respect." - "Did you notice anything out if the way about my gal?" "Not that I can recall." "Didn't notice that she was kinder ergitful and awkered?" "No." "Ner quiet like without m uch to ay to nobody?" "I noticed she didn't, talk much 'Ner had n't," he corroborated, fer a week or two. Didn't strike on that she had a wonderin' in ier mind, did she?" "No." ''Ner a hankerin' after some hin' that wuzan't in sight?" "No." "That's odd you didn't," he said ?th a puzzled expression; "me nd the old woman has been a loticin' it fer ten days or more." "We ain't right shore," he whis kered, "but the symptoms is power ul like she wuz a goin' to be took own with matrimonv. There's be young fellow now," and he got p and went out to meet a strap ing young man who was hitching is horse at the gate. Battle of Giants.
