WARM WORDS OF WELCOME. Major "Wm. T. Gary's Address and Lieut. Gov. Gary's Response. For the second day in the his tory of the Augusta Exposition Company have the legislators of South Carolina been its guests. Five years ago the members of the General Assembly of the great old state journeyed from their capital to the city on tho banks of the Savannah that is proud?to acknow ledge that she owes much of her success and her prosperity to South Carolina. In the walks of public life in Augusta may be seen the son of the yeomanry of South Carolina who has left the quiet of his country home, to enter the more exciting strife of city life aud help build up the com mercial and industrial prosperity of the great city of the Savannah valley. At many a fireside in old Augusta sits the queen of home won from the sunny hills and shady vales across the river, inculcating in the young minds about her the sweet thoughts of religion and the proud spirit of patriotism that are the inheriteuce of every South erner. It is no wonder then that the hearts and homes of Augusta were thrown open to the people of South Caralina and that the welcome extended to them was as cheery and warra as the bright sunshine of nature herself which beamed like a benediction upon the mingling of the people, who though separated by state lines are bound by the same destiny, . . . .. ot the pleasures of tho day. RECEIVING TIIE GUESTS. Before the special train on the Port Royal road from Columbia via, the South Bound, had arrived at the union depot the committee of directors of the Augusta Ex position Company had all the legislators decorated with the badge of distinction that entitled them to the freedom and the courtesies of the Exposition. At the depot they were met by the officers and directors of the Exposition Company, and headed by the Exposition band ware es corted to Broadway and from there cars took them to the Exposition. In the Music Hall a crowd gathered to hear the words of welcome and the hearty response. On the stage were Lieutenant Governor E. B. Gan, Hon. Ira Jones, Speaker of the House Maj. W. T.Gary and President Patrick Walsh, besides a large gathering of the senators and representatives. After selections by the band President Walsh received the visitors in a few words and in introduced Hon. W. T. Gary, who delivered the address of welcome. Mr. Walsh said : Ladies and gentlemen, Lieuten ant Governor, and Gentlemen of the General Assembly of South Carolina: As President of the Augusta Exposition Company, it is my pleasing duty to welcome you to the city of Augusta and to the Exposition. This Exposi tion is not the work pf the people of Augusfa or of Georgia ajone-^an equal share of the honor belongs to South Carolina, ycur state, which has contributed an essential part in its completeness. We point with pride to this Fxposition as an illustration of thu wonderful resources and industrial progress of the South. We p oint to it with pleasure, becuuse it exemplifies what we can do if we diversify our industries, I have the pleasure of intro, ducing to you a gentlemem vbo though a Georgian by adoption, is proud of his nativity. Our people have honored him vith place and preferment, and he has worthily discharged every public duty en trusted to him by the people of this county and by the govern ment of the United States-Hon. W. T. Gar)', who will deliver tbe address of welcome. MAJ. GARY'S ADDRESS. After another selection by the band, Maj. Gary rose, and in earnest words eloquently welcomed the Legislature of South Carolina. He paid: "Represen^utives of the South Carolina Assembly, Ladies and Gentlemen : "It would indeed be a jold heart that would not be moved by this high testimonial of praise that has just been accorded me by the president of the Augusta Exposi tion, and it is.with sincere grati tude I thank him for his kind words, hoping that I may continue to tread that path of life which will always place me in a position to deserve such praise. "I welcome you gentlemen of South Carolina, io our city in be half of the Agricultural society, in behalf of the city of Augusta, and in behalf of the Exposition Com pany ; we throw open our doors and receive you PS ono of us, trusting that as of yore we are one people with but one land. " "Tis an honor to represent the merchants and business men of Augusta, for they are known to you as well as to myself, for their high standard of integrity, honesty and uprightness in all dealings. Tneir hospitalii}' is boundless as their great future. "We .welcome you to Augusta and the Empire state of the South knowing that you take a deep and sincere interest in our prosperity and are always ready and willing to extend your hands and hearts whenever your sister state calls upon you. When the Augusta Exposition was first talked of there were nothiug but words of discouragement from ali sides; the croakers aid all in their little way to cast a damper on this greaten t?rnriRP and PTO?1" 1 "??' V : lt* South Carolina and ueorgia nave jointly accomplished. "We throw open the portals of our city, Exposition and state, and welcome you as Joseph welcomed his brothers in Egypt. I know tbe sons of the noble sires who fol lowed Marion in the swamps of the Peedee aud know that the sun light *of God never shone on a braver or truer race of men ; they are ever courageous and intrepid in the time of war and in the time of peace they have stood by the commonwealth in a manner which has commanded the respect and admiration of the whole country. "South Carolina, one of the grandest states in the Union whose clime and every natural aspect vies with the garden spot of the world stands the peer of all has caused the Italian to lesve his beautiful sunsets, the German to forget his Faderland, and the Swiss te depert his grand and glorious scenery. Her sont aro as patriotic as ever breathed aj;d are equal to any in culiuie^'aiid re finement that the world produces. "She is to-day represented by as brave, noble and patriotic men as ever represented her. These young spirits knew that she was not to remain as a prisoner and valiantly came forward to see that she should occupy the exalted position which she is entitled to. They are all saviours of their country and are drserving of Ihe praise (bat has been heapeh upon them. "You need have no fear of South Carolina when in the hands of such able mni and her future is sure to be replete with prosperity and plenty. She is all right and will continue so from now on to the end, "It was mine to live in the hallowed sphere of that patriot, statesmen and scholar. Picken?, aud it is now my lot not to bo separted entirely from you, for the ties that still are yours are mine, and the patriotic feeling that in spires you truly inspires me. God Almighty has created South Carolina and Georgta side by and thus it shall forever be. Both aro equal in gradeur, and both have the samo civilization and same education. Our only difficulty is we do not know where tho dividing lino begins and whore it ends. "Did either over fail to afcaist or help tho other in the time of need? May we never live to see the day when such ties as those that now ? exist shall be in any way outraged. To Make it more forcible I might use tbat mandate which we*' are all familiar with. Whom God has . joined together let no man put asunder.' "Our people love you and are always delighted when you honor them with your presence and it is ; a great pleasure that you afford them on this occasion. ' Our busi ness men welcome you and the whole city rejoices at your arrival, j "The fair maidens of our city, the like of whom cannot be found ] in any other state in the Union, join in the welcome that is ac corded you. What shall I compare [ the maidens of Augusta to, the lily with all its grandeui and ] stateliness or the rose with its beauty, grace and sweet perfume; neither one, for with all their ; beauty and loveliness they have not the maiden's soul. They are the perfect work made in the like ness of Him. "Like Dido, on your departure . they shall staud with the willow in their hand and waive you their love, hoping that your may soon return to Carthage." Maj. Gary was frequently ap plaudod. When he had concluded, Presi dent Walsh advanced to the front, and said he had the honor of presenting the Hon. Eugene B. . dary, the distinguished Lieutenant Governor of South Carolins, who ( would make reply to the address of welcome. . LIEUT. GOV. GARY'S RESPONSE. Lieutenant Governor Gary, who has boen elected by the present Legislature of South Carolina ( Chief Justice of South Carolina, stepped forward and made the following brief response to the j address of welcome: "T. CJJ ?" -. . r . .*? " Sft? ICC- .: ! \ . we are g J aa to near m tue HOD UU?? ( bind the men of Georgia and Caro- . lina together, and we trust that I the link of friendship will never , be broken. When we needed help . you came to our assistance, and when you needed help we went to i your rescue. I am lamil iar somewhat with the , history of your state and your ^ city, and know of the true courage , of your men, and the sincere, kind ( feelings they have for Carolina , and her people. Their flag has bet n furled and new battles are upon us-the fight for the agricul tural and industrial development and the progress made has dis tinguished Georgia. Permit me to say, with no invidious comparison that our state is the equal of the Empire state of the South. We feel proud that Augusta has set such an example, and we intend to improve ourselves by the education this grand show affords us. When we come and see this beautiful building,filled with varied exhibits showing the diversified manufac- ; tured products of this section, ] togbether with the magnificent ? agricultural display,it fills us with delight, and we will return to our ; homes with new inspirations. Yes you have accomplished something unparalleled in the history of tho , South. Hard as the times are, you have made a success of theExposi- , tion. I am admonished that the , time is short that we will ba with you so again I return sincere thanks for the happy remarks . made in welcoming Carolina to the Exposition." Tongue Twisters.

Th? world ?9 a queer old fellow, As you journey along by his side You had better conceal any trouble you feel, If you want to tickle his pride, No matter how heavy your burden Don't tell him about it, pray ; ETe will only grow colder and shrug his shoulder : And hurriedly walk away. ?ut carefully cover your sorrow, : And the world will be your friend, [f only you'll bury your woe3 and be fe merry I He'll cling to you close to the end, Don't ask him to lift one finger ; To lighten your burden, because ie never will share it; but silently bear it, (?And he will be loud with applause. r?he world is a vain old fellow; ?"You must laugh at his sallies of wit, So matter how brutal, remonstrance is ; futile, ? And frowns will not change him one whit. ?lnd since you must journey together Down paths where all mortal feet go, IVhy, life holds more savor to keep in bis favor, iFor he's an unmerciful foe. . -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. [ The Suffering Editor. "Cap'n, axe you the editor of ;his paper?" -The speaker was a tull, raw boned, middle-aged man, with 'aded sorrel hair, and a hand that ooked like a ham, says the Chi iago Tribune. "I am, sir," replied the editor of he Peaville Bugle. "What can I lo for you?" "You "had a piece in your paper his week about a marryin' at Hopkins Run last Thursday,-didn't ;e?" "Yes, sir; I believe I did." ? "The--marryin' was at Phil Jrumpet's w'a*u't it?" . #1'.th ink it 7/as."..:' . "His;oldest gal was married to 3ium^Harkins.;?-That jright?" "Itbink.BO." . ?-?>" iown on the taDle with a bang that jarred the editor in his chair. .They warn't facts 1 You said the iveddin' passed off quietly. Who told you it passed off quietly?" "No, sir," thundered the man. 'I ought to know. I'm the gal's father! I'm Phil Crumpet! The iveddin' passed off sir with the sjol-whoppinest shivaree ever got up in our neighborhood, and if you don't put it that way next week an' do the gal justice I'll come back an' break every darned bone in y er body." The editor of the Peaville Bugle hastily promised to set the matter right in his next issue, and Mr. Phil Crumpet, of Hopkius Run, turned on his heel and clumped heavily out of the office, shaking his head in a threatening manner as he went. His Wit Saved Him. Although it is a familiar saying that an Irishman is always spoil ing for a fight, still there is one kind of fighting to which even the brave sons of Erin are sometimes averse-that is duelling. The fol lowing story well illustrates this Fact. A certain Irishman, having been challenged to fight <a duel, accept ted the conditions after much per auasion on the part of hi3 friends, tvho felt confident of success. His antagonist, a lame man, walked on 3rutch.es. When the place for tho shooting had been reached, the lame man's seconds asked that he be allowed to lear against a mile-stone which happened to be there. The privi lego was allowed, and the lame man took his stand. The Irishman and his seconds drew off to the distance agreed upon-one hundred feet. Here Pat's courage suddenly failed him, and he shouted to the lame man : "I've a small favor to ask of ye, 3or." "What is it?" asked the cripple. Pat answered : "I told ye thot ye might lean agin the milepost, and now I would the privilege of leaning agin the next one." The laughter which followed spoiled everybody's desire for a fight, and the whole party went home without a shot being fired.

Every man has a religion. Would that every man had a Christ. Be right with God, and it will not take much to make you happy. Many a man's religion boiled down, would be found to be noth ing more than notion. It will not help your own crop any to throw stones at your neigh bor's truck patch. No oue can have a deep trust in God who does not read his word by the help of the spirit. If noise was religion a Chinese joss house would be one of the holiest places on earth. The trial that God sends us is always a blessing, whether we know it at the time or not. It is about as wise to sit on a limb of a lreer and saw it off as to worry about things we cannot help. Tendency forecasts destiny. A tree leaning east never falls west. A tree not only lies as it falls, but it falls as it leans. A besetting sin is like the flaw in Achilles armor. It is the ex posed spot in which Satan lodges a poisoned arrow. Put on the whole armor of God. Three Good Strokes. Harper's Magazine. An eminent New York divine, in the course of an address at a fra ternity dinner recently, told this story. Said he : "I met a Brooklyn friend of mine ? few days ago, and, as he ap peared to be feeling in an un usually exuberant frame nf nsfrfg " 'But,' said the Brooklyn man, "why do you not have tho child baptized?' " 'Because I have no money, and the fee for baptism is one dollar,' said the woman. .. 'Whereupon the good Samari tan handed the wc man a ten-dollar bill, gave her his address so that she could bring back the chauge which she did return-and went his way. " 'That is one good action,' said the doctor. 'Now for the other two,' " 'Oh,' Observed the Brooklyn mau, 'they are all three in one. First, I relieved the sorrows of a weeping woman ; second, I assured the child of eternal salvation ; and third'-here he hesitated. " 'Yes,' said the doctor. 'What was the third?' " 'Well,' said the Brooklyn man, 'the third was that I got rid of that vile counterfeit ten-dollar bill I had been carrying for more than a year.' " A mau who has called at the White House several times to bor row a quarter from the President, is called a crank. That is the way it goes. The youth who wanted to borrow a hundred thousand dol lars in Montreal a short while ago was also pronounced a crank. TL J fellow that goes around trying to borrow money in times like these give good ground for being sus pected as a crank. It is said that the assets of the tho World's Faia managers are disappearing mysteriously at the rate of about $10,000 a day. They were counting as assets a lot of property which is claimed by con tractors, who are getting away with it as fast as they can. They are doing it so effectually that the managers are still harboring the hope that in their hustling energy they will not get away with the Park in which the Fair was hold. The Oregonians have have the advantage of tho res'Jus thisyear,for they had one Thanksgiving Day last Tursday and will have another next Thursday. They come rather close together but the Oregonians are able-bodied citizens and can stand it. A State which can stand as unique a Governor as Pennoyer can stand almost anything. Subscribe to tho Edgefield AD VERTISER. SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. EDIBILITY OF ANTS.-The formic acid of ants is said to impart to them an agreeable flavor. An en tomologist recollects when himself and boy companions relished a "lemonade" of crushed ante mixed with sugar and water ; and a cor respondent of Insect Life refers to a man who is in the habit of eat ing large black ants from rotten wood. Another man traced to little red ants a pleasant acid taste of a piece of pie eaten in the dark. DUALITY OF THE MIND.-The idea is held by Dr. B. W. Richard son that the two lobes of the cere brum give every person two dis tinct brains ; and that any congre gation of human beings must be reckoned at twice its individual number before its mental constitu tion and strength can be properly appraised. The two brains are never exactly balanced. They sometimes work together, some times diversely; and when one is disordered there may be tendencies to insanity, with lucid intervals if the other is sound. Complete change of personality may result from weakening the stronger or strengthening the weaker. GLASS BRICKS.-Experiments with glass building bricks were be gun in 1891 by M. Falconier, au architest of Lyons. These bricks are hollow, being blown like bot tles, and are given forms-such as cubes, hexagons, etc.,-that per mit of ready laying. A bilumin ous cement, with a base of asphalt, is used with them. The bricks servo as double windows, giving protection against both cold and heat; they are good insulators of humidity and noise ; and they lend themselves readily to the decora tion '<?f buildings either by their ~;; v fl cfe? <\teuy fcppi? . --.vnuttry cost, saves fuel, and resists hail. BLEEDING BREAD.-Considerable dismay was caused in England during the recent hot weather by the appearance of blood stains in bread, and also in boiled potatoes, rice, and other farinaceous sub stances. In superstitious times, this somewhat rare phenomenon was regarded as a miracle, but mod ern science has shown that it is due to the growth of a microscopic plant. The true explanation of the terrifying blotches was first point ed out by a Paduan naturalist in 1819. The same production was seen near Berlin in 1848, at Rouen by Dr. Camille Montagne in the same year, and was first recorded in Britain in 1853. About 1886 an epidemic visitation on the Conti nent was attributed to this source. Carmine-red patches, capable of staining the fingers, appeared on cooked meat during the n. ht, and various articles of food wen. simi larly affected until after about three months, the epidemic sud denly ceased on the advent of a lower 'emperature. VOLCANOES OF THE U. S.-Ex cluding Alaska, the United States may be said to be non-volcanic, states Mr. Ralph S. Farr, but it has not been so long. A chain of volcanoes extends from southern South America into Mexico, then there is a large break, and the in terrupted chain begins again in Alaska, curves southward, and joins the chain of Japan. The in termediate non-volcanic area has just emerged from an area of stu pendous activity. Future resump tion of such activity is not im probable, for in the West are vol canoes so recent as, like Mt. Shasta, to retain their conical form, and some of these perhaps are no more dormant than was Vesuvious befoie the fateful year '79, when it buried Pompeii and Herculaneum beneath the most terrible storm of stones and ashes ever known to man. In the Canon of the Colorado, in the deserts of Nevada and Utah, and in New Mexico, exist small lava flows that must have been erupted in recent years, probably since the white man's discovery of the continent, These seem to record the death throes of the country's latest vol canic giants. Tho eruptions have played a part in bringing up stores of metals, and the richest minee are found in the volcanic districts of Tertiary times. SAM JONES'S EEPIY. Comes Back at Dr. Massey in His Own Peculiar Style. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 6.-Rev. Sam Jones replies to Parson Massey's letter as follows : "I see he says he will not charge me with slander in what I had written of bim. Rev. Mr: Maskey is a gentleman, a scholar and a Christian. He is a magnificent debater. He has the respect, love, and confidence of every man, woman, and child in Virginia. Now he can't say I haven't slandered him. "I thought the old thing was dead (discussionally) and buried. The fact that he lives is proof of the grand doctrine of the resur rection of the dead. He was cer tainly sown in corruption. I trust he has been raised in incorruption. He was sown in dishonor and I trust raised in honor. "Talk about misstatements. If I had sat upon the platform dur ing the discussion and swallowed two whopping lies like he did on the day of his and Sam Small's discussion I would let mistakes on the part of other gentlemen pass by unnoticed. His lie was so ridi culous on Sam Small that Sam told him that a minster of the Gos pel that would tell such a lie on a brother minster was not fit to hang on the back door of hell." Beecher's "Wit. He Dry Ward Beecher was once lecturing on "Communisn" in the Old Wigwam in Chicago before an audience of ten thousand people. Everybody was subdued ; the au dience was breathless with inter est. He was telling the story bf the rise of the power of the people. Presently he ended a ringing period with these words, pronounced in a Of .si'-'iL-* ?">-. \*? equal to 6uch. an interrupter" which made the sympathetic crowd shiver. He certainly was." Looking toward the gallery from whence the crowd came he replied with simple dignity: "I f-aid the voice of the peopl?, not the voice of one man." Thc response from the audience was a sigh of happy relief rather than an explosion of laughter; but there was so much electric sympathy throughout tho Wigwam that an outburst was wanting only for an occasion.- And when the drunken fellow staggered to his feet and mumbled something unintelligable, Mr. Beecher paused again, and with his winning, half reproachful smile said: "Will some kind person take our friend out and give him some cold water -plenty of it-withiu and with out?" As two policemen took the disturber away, the tabernacle shook with cheers. They supposed they, were cheering Mr. Beecher's wit, instead of that tremendous power which no one need try to analyze. Prof. Garner says the monkeys talk but they do not all talk the same language, and sometimes re quire an interpreter. The gorilla, for instance, and the chimpanzee have a different vernacular. The talk of the gorilla is Greek to the chimpanzee and the chat of the chimpanzee is Choctaw to tho go rilla. Best N. 0. Syrup, 50c. gallon. Salt, 65c. sack. Loaded Shells. 40c. box.
