Mr. Bouknight has hosts of friends over here who congratulate him on the verdict.-Newberry Observer. Cotton still continues to go down, down-a fair and timely warning to the farmers. On this subject the Cotton Plant says : "Cotton is tumbling down to the bottom again, where it is likely to stay. It will help out the cry for a reduc tion in the acreage. We want our readers to remember that we change the demand for a reduction in cotton acreage to a demand on them to make it their first busi ness to raise their supplies at home. When that is done the ex tent of acreage in the fleecy staple will take care of itself. Cotton will sell at 6 and 7 cents next fall as sure as gun is iron. Maj. W. T.

The blanks for Edgefield county artificial limb pensioners 'have been received by Clerk of Court John B. Hill, and are ready for signatures. The law requires that vouchers for the future de livery of said checks must be signed by each pensioner in his own proper person and in the pres ence of the Clerk.

C. A. hall at this place by S. J. Entriken, a member of the Peary Relief Expedition of 1892. Mr. Entriken will have present a na tive Eskimo costume and a num ber of other curiosities-no polar bears or walrusses-and photo graphs from Greenland. He will describe his experiences while on the coast of that ice bound land, scaling her icy mountains, the finding of Peary, and the return , voyage. The Eskimos will play a few of their old timey shake down tunes on their little bazoos. The : lecture is for the benefit of the Y. | M. C. A.'s and should be largely ; attended. Admission, adultB, 25c. ; . Children, 15c. The Eskimos, as many of our older readers will re member, used to spell their names 1 E-s-q-u-i-m-a-u-x, but at a con- ; vention held last August they de- ; termined that, as their sirnames , were eo short, they would drop the q's aud-x's from their alphabet. 1 How Much Tax.. From Auditor Davis's books we ; ascertain that a two mill levy on | the town property of Edgefield \ realized last year $800. These fig- i ures show that a levy of five mills ] would probably realize say $2,000, j enough to run the town, if it were ] not for the fact that the town it- ? self would have to do its own < assessing and collecting, which j work is now done by the Auditor and Treasurer. There would have | to be a town assessor and a town ] tax collector, a treasurer, and also j a set of tax books for town pur- | poses. An accurate survey of the j incorporation would a?60 have to | be made, and all of these things < will take money. Perhaps it ' would require a levy of 7 or 8 ( mills to get the town going under ] the new order of things, that is to say to have no bar-rooms and no ] Dispensary. All these things ( should be looked into, talked over, ? and thought about before our spring elections for intendants and ( wardens. There should be no leaps , in the dark. A Tribute to Eddie Cochran. MR. EDITOR: It was with feel ings of deepest sorrow that I heard of the recent death of Eddie Cochran. I knew him to be a de voted son, a most worthy compan ion, and consistent Christian. He was a model youth-a star among the young men of his community. While I was his pastor at Reho both, on one occasion I called on the young men present to pledge themselves not even to enter a "bar-room," except in ca*es of ab solute necessity. Eddie was among the first to make the pledge. This he kept faithfully until his death. Honorable record I What a com fort il must be to his bereaved pa rents and loved ones, as they re flect upon the rectitude of his course 1 May the young men of our country follow Eddie Cochran's example, so worthy of their emu lation. J. L. OUZTS. Kirkseys, S. C. Ladies Hats at Cobb's. LadieB have you seen Jas. M. Cobb's beautiful assortment of Ladies and Misses Trimmed Hats. Don't fail to see his millinery goods. You can save money and get the latest styles. Dots from Dennys. MR. EDITOR : As the ADVERTISER has no corresponde ot from Dennys I thought I would send you a few lines for publication. The farmers are preparing their lands for another big crop of cot ton. Our energetic young farmer, Bob Crouch, planted some corn about two weeks ago, which is now com ing up. Our handsome "little" Dr. J. D. W., who spoke of moving away a few weeks ago, we are glad to say, has declined for a while. Our genial youog friend, Mr. Sidney Riley, is at Mt. Willing in the Alliance store ; we do not see him so often now; don't forget your friends around Dennys, Sid ney. The second Quarterly Confer ence for the Saluda Circuit will convene at Bethany the third Saturday and Sunday proximo. The writer had the pleasure of visiting Johnston a few days ago and meeting a great many friends and old acquaintances ; the young peeple there have a skating rink, and I had the opportunity of see ing many of the Johnstonites at the rink. Mrs. Joe Jay who was very ill a few days ago, is convalescing un der the skilful treatment of Dr. Kirksey. It seems that the young ladies "around Dennys" are devoting a great deal of attention to poultry raising, especially turkeys; but I'm afraid the hawks and minks will be the most successful. M. Dennys, S. C. Confederate Survivors. There will be a meeting of the Edgefield County Survivors' Asso ciation in the court-house the first Monday in April. The president earnestly desires a full meeting as business of importance will come before the Association. Turn out, comrades, and let ua got our asso ciation in ship-shape. L. P. HARLING, Pres. E. C. S. A. JOHN COLGAN, Secretary. Johnston Monitor please copy. Ups and Downs. A late issue of the Washington Post gives some truthful pictures of the average office seeker in that city. "There he goes," said the clerk at qhe Natioual as one of the green cars trundled by. "See that man near the grip? Dispite his com mon clothes he has rather a distin guished air, hasn't he? Well, he is a gripman, too, and is probably taking a day off, or else is going . to some other part of the line to 1 meet his car. I have known him four years, and always liked him. i He is an example of what happens to men who come to Washington j seeking office. I first met him in ; the early part of March, 1889. j President Harrison had been sworn in, and the city was filled with those who wanted pap. This man was from the West. He stopped 1 with us. His coat was of the Prince Albert cut and made of the ( ?nest diagonal. His trousers were ] ;ight in color, and he wore tan gloves. The suit could not have :ost less than $125. He had money J md spent it like water. I He wanted one of the larger con- 1 sulates, and had a valise full of [etters. He didn't get it, of course, j ind gradually became shabbier iud shabbier. I saw him late in the summer, wearing a battered 1 straw hat, and his lines had evi iently been cast in hard places. ( rhen I saw him swinging to the sar grip. He must be faithful to his work, because he has held the ?ob ever since. He is a great deal 1 better than many of those who ] some upon a like errand, aB well as more fortunate. Generally when , they go broke they put in a month or two holding up such friends as < come to town, and when these play out they drift into even more rep rehensible ways .of making a liv- j in g. They are generally ashamed . to go home, you see. Not one of them ever leaves his town without assuring all of his acquaintances 1 that he has a dead sure thing, and they are afraid of endless jeering . if they return. "It is a dreadful thing," said a ] Georgian yesterday, as he aimed at a cuspidor in the hotel corridor 1 and missed it a foot, "to think how little it takes to dash a fel low's hopes io earth when the frui tion of his desires depends upon the temper of one man who holds a position like that which Presi dent Cleveland fills so completely. Here I am, and I want an office. It is not a big thing, not more ' than $3,000 a year, yet the com forts of my family and ability to clear myself of debt depend upon my success. It is very important tome. I have spent money to , come here and spend money to ' stay here. When the Executive reaches my papen he may not feel well. There may be a clot of un- i digested mustard upon nis stomach > or he may have a slight cold in ( the head. Up I go 1 If I had this . thing to undergo again I would ; rather plow seven days in the . week and feed the mules myself." : "All things come to him who wait;"but the trouble is starvation is one of them,' . Mohammed taught the doctrine ? "to the victors belong the spoils." I Colonel Calhoun Caughman. Washington, I?. C., Evening News. I met in the lobby of the Metropolitan hotel last night a courtly young southerner, who cheerily chatted with a number of friends. It was the Hon. Calhoun Caughaian, of South Carolina. He is a near relative of John C. Calhoun and married a grand niece of Robert Y. Hayne, whose debate with Webster placed him in the foremost rank of American orators. Colonel Caughman is himself eloquent, and his style of oratory is lo, a degree dramatic and not u?Ske that of William C. Preston. His voice is a natu ral tenor and possesees a captivat ing melody.' A Boy's Jtesay on Dogs and Cats. I'd rather have a dog than a cat any day. Dogs can race cats, they can race other dogs, they can race boys or anything. Nobody ain't scared of a cat A mouse is ; but not if it ain't somewheres that it can't get out of, or a rat either. A dog can make a cat dead if he bites her enough. When he comes in the yard he can make her tail look liku Christmas tree. He caa make her fix her back like a camel. I ain't afraid of thieves; but thieves are afraid ot dogs. If a thief comes where a dog can get him, he'll run like fun; but the dog won't rm. A dog can watch a house better than a policeman. He won't let the man that owns it come in the back yard in the middle of the night, but a cat would. If a man or any other thief was to sneak in, would a cat care? She'd go over the fence quick. That's wbatj A dog knows when you're home from school. He ain't asleep, then. He has fun with old hats if you give, him one. You've got to pay for keeping him, but you don't a caj,-because a dog's some good and a cat ain't. I'd rather have a dog. Carlisle's Proposition. Washington, D. C.-The Star says that Secretary Carlisle ex pects to have ready to submit some financial propositions by the time Congress meets, which will form the basis of agreement be tween Congress and the executive on the vexed financial problem. Gentlemen who have talked with bim on the subject say that h e has a plan pretty well outlined in his mind, which will involve a complete reorganization of our financial system. It is said that it will include the repeal of the law ^compelling the purchase of silver by the gov ernment and will provide for the deficiency of currency by providing for the repeal of the State bank tax and the issue of currency by banks under State chartes^ auder the general government, the security for the currency provided "or under the laws of the States, requiring the approval of the government. How the Case Stood. detroit Free Press. Tho prisoner at the bar was sharged with assault and battery Dy his wife. She was a little ivoman, but wiry and energetic. He waa a strapping big fellow ind on him the judge frowned ?ercely. "So," said the court, "your have Deen assaulting your wife?" "Yes yer honor." admitted the prisoner doggedly. '.Well, you ought to be ashamed )f yourself." '.I am, yer honor." '?The very idea, sir, of a great Dig fellow like you whipping a ittle woman like thatl" The little women flushed up, Dut kept still, with her eyes fixed D J her husband expectantly. "I did't whip her, yer honor." "Didn't whip her?" exclaimed 1 the judge. "Don't [lie to me, sir. ?ou did whip her." Again the little woman turned , ber eyes on her husband. "Beg yer pardon, yer honor, but [ didn't whip her. She licked me in about thrne minntes, and that's tvhy I'm ashamed of myself, yer honor." The judge fairly gasped. "That's right, yer ;houor," put in the little woman. "Henry gets ugly sometimes, but he won't lie when I'm watching him." The judge took a good long look at both of them and dismissed the ca6e. The historic episode of the Blip- ; ping of a piece of ice down the tieck of the Prince of Wiles by the Jersey Lilly is recalled by an incident at Pugilist Corbett's re cent appearance before a Kanass City audience. The champion was called on for a speech, and while he was bowing his thanks for the honor, "a pretty young lady in the gallery" leaned over and poured a handful of coru down the ( back of his neck. Corbett," the : report relates, "glanced up, blushed like a schools-girl, and amid the roars of his auditors, Btepped down from tho plat from. A Hairbreadth Escape. A bad accident which was one of the narrowest escapes from instant death possible, happened at Vandemore, Plamice county, N. C., on Saturday. As Mr. Morrissey's son, Coolidge, about 15 years of age, was cutting wood, his little brother ran under the axe as it was descending and re ceived the blow on the top of his head. The axe glanced and cut out a piece of the skull bone one and one-half inches square so that pulsation of the brain could be discerned. Dr. G. S. Attmore, of Stonewell, attended to the wound. The piece of bone was left out but the cut portion 'bf the scalp was placed in position again and three days after the accident Dr. At.tmore pronounced his littie patient in a fair way to per fee recovery, hts youthfulness being in favor of such a result. Seems Slow to the Expectants. Washington Post. The office seekers here are grow ing impatient. They do not un derstand why the administration should be so deliberate about mak ing appointments, nor why it is that the senate is so backward about confirming such appoint ments as have been made. Two of these impatient gentlemen met yesterday. Said one of (hem : "Don't you think the the ad ministration is going mighty slow?" "Going slow!"echoed the other impetiont one. "Why, man, it's going slower than the hour hand on the clock of eternity." Kittie was walking down the street with her auntie one day, and her big, blue eyes were wide open to the curious things in this world-a new world to her. Sud denly she espied some tempting looking pears before a grocery store. i;0-oo, auntie!" she cried, "see all vose little, cunning, long-tailed apples!" The man who is prepared for the worst that comes to him, is in a position to hope for the best. The fairest pictures that hope can in spire, or the imagination paint, should be drawn upon a back ground of preparation for the worst. The man who does this is an intelligent optimist.
