A Georgia editor's view of "the meanest man" is as follows : "Any man who would keep a dog that will jump a fence and break a rail and scare a mule that would throw a nigger that would break a jug of liquor in a dry county is a mighty mean man and his chances for forgiveness are slim." Mr? G. Brooks Courtney has re cently moved into his new shops at the corner of Trenton and Co lumbia streets, and is now thor oughly equipped with new ma chinery, and can and will do the best work in his lines, and they are many, and at the most reason ble charges. Mr. Courtney is a tip-top workman, or as an old darky said the other day "dat man can do anything his hand find ter do." Read Mr. Courtney's new advertisement. Our esteemed contemporary, the Edgefield Farmer, gives the fol lowing good advise: "On almost every farm there is a pressing need of more pigs and fewer cure. A $2 pig fed till next January on slops and table refuse (which cost nothing) will net 250 or 300 pounds ; which, at 12? cents per pound, will amount to $37.50. Get a pig! It will be worth more to you uext Christmas than any two acres you can plant in cotton. If you raise your meat and it goes down to 5 cents, you can eat it ; if you raise cotton and it goes down to 5 cents, you havo got to sell. Kill that worthless cur, and get you a pig." What Shall be Done? The town of Newberry has levied a tax of five mills for town pur poses. This levy is made in case there bo no Dispensary in that town, and Edgefield will have to do something of the same kind. To get this town tax machinery in operation we will also be obliged to have a town assessor, a board of equalization, and other little inci dentals which it is not necessary to mention here. It is high time our people were looking after this mat ter. What shall we get in substi tution of the liquor license? If we don't have a Dispensary we must have a tax. Don't Plant Cotton. The ADVERTISER has always been an optimist on cot ton. We have always said, "It will bring a high price next fall." We now take it all back. We have come to the conclusion it will be very low. next fall, six and seven cents at the very best. The news comes to us from Texas that the people there have gone distracted about cotton and intend to plant nothing else. They say that if they can't make money on cotton they can on cotton seed ct thirty cents per bushel, which they ex pect to get. With all Texas in cot ton the yield will be so great that prices are bound to be low. Attention, Edgefield Rifles ! Cnpt.

EDITOR : It has been months and a half since I last saw you. The weather has been so intolera bly cold that I have been compell ed to remain indoors the greater parc of the time, and now the weather is most beautiful, but the roads are so very" bat' that it is really dangerous for a marrying mau to travel or ?ven to ride out on a pleasure trip. My headquarters have been at Dorns ville, McCormick, Searles'? Factory, and Sandy Quarter. The last named place is a beautiful site, and fast improving, near Re publicen Church, midway between McCormick and Searles's factory, on the direct line, which the street cars will pass through when they run from McCormick to the fac tory ; and I am sorry to say that Northern capitalists are investing very freely in the lots at that place while our citizens are slow to act, they say f?.r the want of money. But how can it be so, when they have plenty to eat, plenty of good wood to burn, and wheat, oats, rye, barley, and cloyer sowed generally and half leg high, that reminds me of the farms near Lexington, Ky. At McCormick they have a fine school, the principal is Prof. Robertson, assisted by Miss Coth ran, the music teacher, the first name I do not recollect, number of pupils from ninety to one hundred. At Dornsville they have another fine school, which Mr. H. Busse y, whom we well know, will and can give general; satisfaction to his patrons and pupils for he is a na tural school teacher and . well knows know to impart kr^wledge. The patrons all tell me this. Chil dren are advancing rapidly, and he gives general satisfaction, and if not why not? I am very desirous to return home, and will do so as soon as tho roads get in a travelling con dition, and why should I be so j when I have an office at the above four mentioned places, and I might say in the land of flowers, but .'home, sweet home home, there's no place like home," and if not why not? H. S. B. Dornsville, S. C. P. S. The Evans bill with the Dispenser attached thereto has many opponents in this seetion of the country, as two-thirds of the tax-payers in this community are matrons, and they say that whis key's impoverished a great many children, and carried > heir mother to a premature grave, and if not why not? All Republican officials who hold commissions for four years will be allowed to remain undisturbed by President Cleveland until their terms expire. This is the determination to which the President has come, and he has announced it to his friends. ???0 - Bring your school checks at the ADVERTISER office, if you want 95 per cent, .of their face value. ' CLOSING THE BAB BOOMS. What Mrs S. F. Chap?n has to Say About thc Effect of the Evans Bill? To the Editor of The Sunday 'News: In your issue of the 1st instant a "prominent lawyer" gives testim ny that "the Evans dispensary law has had a dis astrous effect already for ho knew of three liquor sellers ^who were going to throw up their lesseB if the bill was enforced.*' Why of course they will, and so will two hundred and thirty other manu factories for making drunkards in this city be closed, for our Gov ernor has said it,.and we know he has the courage *o stand by his laws. But who can consider this a disaster? The owners of the bui'dings can fumigate and dis infect, as was done in Atlanta, and in a very short time the bar room victims, ?ntempted by the display that attracts them into the saloon trap, will be able to rent the buildings made vacant and carry on respectable trades, The bakers, the butchers, the grocers, the dry goods merchants, the shoe dealers, all will have reason to rejoice that the .thous ands monopolized by this sinful traffic will flow into their coffers, and ..business will improve,, so that they can pay their clerks living rsalaries, and save to our city the young men - who are leaving us by the hundred because of starvation wages. More than three honest tax paying citizens are rejoicing that their property will increase in value, because of the removal of the barrooms from their neigh borhood. Everbjdy knows, that bar rooms depreciate the value of property near them,and it is quite time that property owners should claim a little thought from us as well as liquor sellers. Some OUR in Newberry attacks the dispensary law because it does not let the man get drunk in a bar room and theo send him home. Ho professes to be ' talking in the interest of the ladies, but his talk shows that he knows very little about a wife's [.feelings. What wife would not rather have her husband come through the street sobor, even if he did "bring his pint," than to .di??""^ and V- .*.'?'? e-ha'] taire cuougij imupnine to x -.L ^ to sleep forever for I could not stand*' the mortification and disgrace." As to Christians lowering their standared by tak ing charge of a dispensary and preventing the sale of liquor, except under the ironclad restric tions of the Evans bill which will be prohibition in many places,and a step towards it in all, none but a conscientious, courageous Chris-: tian could fill the ticket, and such a one refusing at such a crisis as this to stand in his lot, according to our opinion, will not be held guiltless. We hope these opposers of the dispensary are working for prohi bition and not . simply fighting against the temperance law that bas passed. S. F. Chapin. CUT DOWN YOUB COTTON! Meeting: and Action of the Grow ers of Texas. AUSTIN, Texas, March 11.-The State Cotton Acreage convention met here yesterday. Among the most important things done was the appointing of a committee consisting of one member from each congressional district to draw up, a. suitable fprm. .of address, to.' the farmers of Texas and the Southon the subject of decreasing the cotton acreage. Reports were adduced showing the immense sur plus crop, and farmers were urged to turn their attention more to other products. The committee's report advises that no change be made in this year's acreage in con sideration of the lateness of the season and recommends further that Texas cotton growers take no concerted act' m in the matter of reducing cotton acreage until a convention of the whole cotton growing world* has met and taken action in the matter. AUSTIN, Texas.-After a long, windy session yesterday, lasting far into last night, the cotton acre age convention concluded its busi ness this morning by appointing one delegate from each senatorial district to be appointed by the cot ton convention and two delegates from each county to be appointed by the county judge to attend the cotton convention in New Orleans next mouth. No positive steps were taken but all farmers 'were requested to reduce the cotton acreage for 1898. fH?f 95 cents on the dollar will be paid for school checks at the ADVERTISER office, provided you are a subscriber to the papery, or. become a subscriber-, when yow bring in the check. HITS HIM HARD. Gov. Tillman Expresses His Opin ion of Judge Simon ton's Deci sion. Columbia, S. C. March. 10. Governor Tillman expressed his opinion to-day on Judge Simon ton's decision in reference to the dispensary act. He said that as he -vas away at the time the deci sion was rendered, he took the first opportunity of expressing himself. He said: "I consider it a more outrage ous invasion of State rights than auything yet coming from the source and it bears all the marka of a job gotten ifj> between Simon ton and those two lawyers to give him an opportunity to hedge by a seeming decision in favor of the state to obliterate the unfavorable decision in the railroad cases. If this is not so, how did he get up such an elaborate opinion in so short'.a time? He knew he had no jurisdiction in this case and say so but he could have said it in three words and dismissed the request for an injunction ?without going into such a long and labored opinion over it.. "I expect him to propose a receiver for the Governor's office before I go out, but he will have a happy time getting possesion of it for he has to maintain an in junction against the execution. The part to which I object is that he should claim in the siighest degree that he has anything to do with the state's dispensary law., He had no right to pass upon it in any form whatever or take cognizance of it under any cir-, cumstance, -until it went into operation."

All boys will be required to work two hours of each day, ex cept when Jexcused from sickness or other necessary cause. P. H. E. SLOAN, Sec. and Treap, We see that Goff, the scallawag Republican, behind whom Judge Simonton hid while delivering that parricidal stab at the sovereignty of his native State, has broken out in a new place, and this time he has declared war on petticoats insteud of com monwealths. At Parkersburg, West Va., this fellow Goff sent a comely young woman to the peni tentiary, besides imposing a fine, for operating a moonshine still. Her husband was in jail for killing a man, and the wife took up this business to make a support for her little children. And while on this subject we would remark that Judge Simon ton has been doing some tall crawfishing of late, and is going square back on his past record. In the first place, he sustained Governor Tillman in the dispon .sary issue, and has made the liquor dealers awful sick. They now talk about throwing up the fpung. Their reliance was on Simonton's onesided court; and since he has . decided to make a scape-goat of his old ' chums, they realize the fact that they are leaning on a broken staff. Then again, Jndge Simouton has taken a double-back-sommersault on the railroad question, and refused to interfere in a case from Fairfield county that seems to "a man up the thee" an exact counterpart of the one for which he has now the gallant Riser fceld in contempt. But Judge Simon ton managed to split a legal hair and slip through the crack. He is now roundly abused by both the people and the railroads, Sheriff Riser ia having a good time. Judge Simonton did not dare to send him to jail, as the anti-organs threatened, and he is boarded in Charleston at the expense of Uncle 8am. Poor Fance now fully realizes the fact that he tumbled on his knees too soon and it is said that he has crawled into a hole near Due West and pulled the hole in after him.-Piedmont Headlight.
