Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAN. 31,1894. L0CAL2 BREVITIES. Lent begins February 8th. It is better to obey even bad a """"law than to break it. Cotton receipts at the ports are Browing gradually and beautifully less. The Red Hill school now num bers seventy-four scholars, and still they come. There has been very little marry ing and giving in marriage around here this winter. A Greenville grower received an j order last week from Missouri for 10,000 peach trees.

Men who displayed a disposition this fall to act fairlv with their debtors are not experiencing much troubl? in getting money. Now is the time to trim your grape vines, roses, and fruit trees. Don't put it off. Blessed is the man who has already done it. On account of the hard times the Columbia Register has reduced its size and the Columbia State has increased its subscription price. Cotton is again going down, 7? being the highest price for mid dling in Augusta, and the reaeipts at the ports continue to be large. We have recently cut off quite a number of subscriptions for non payment, and some more will fol low if something is not done pretty soon. Dr. Gwaltney will preach at Dry . Creek on the next fourth Sunday, Snappy aa a consequence there will be no services in our Baptist Church on that day? Rev. Thos. H. Leitch, who has recently been conducting revival meeting? af.

Hold a "stiff upper lip" if you have not a dollar, and the commu nity will think more of you as well. -Many a brave, good-hearted fellow, . Manya noble-minded man, Finds himself in water shallow, Then assist him if you can. From the present outlook Feb ruary bids fair to come in with a a slush, or a sleet, or a snow, or a rain, or a blizzard. This month, February, may be always put down as the meanesl month in the year to ifs size. Dr. J. B. Dubose, of Ridge Spriug, is making a success o? celery culture. He planted two and a half acres of it last year. It is now ready for market and ie said to equal tho famous Kalama zoo, c&lery. Mr. J. T.

Rob: Well, aunty, dear, you wouldn't have me good for nothing, would you? Eggs are plentiful in this market at 1U cents a dozen. We heard an old negro woman say she "nebbei knowed eggs, to be plentifuller or cheaper at this season of the yeai since Hardy Wall and John Mc Dibbit turned the_niggors ober to the white folks."

The belles and beaux wear clothes suggestive of hard times, the rooms are furnish ed with split-bottom chairs and benches, tallow candles are used instead of lamps, and the walls are festooned with strings of red pepper aud pine tops. The refresh ments consist of corn bread and sweet milk served in wooden plat ters and tin cups. They have 'em occasionally in Georgia, but on this side the river we have 'em seven days in the week, but we don't call 'em parties. Trinity Church Entertainment. The musical and dramatic en tertainment to be given in our Opera House on Tuesday evening next, promises, we are told, to be an unusually beautiful affair. The ladies of Trinity congregation are working hard to secure a fund with which to make some sorely needed repairs and improvements in the interior of their church. Let all gooi" people help them. It has be come an old saying, but worthy of all acceptation, that if there were no women in th? land, there would be no churches. At the Trinity Church entertainment, 100. front seats will be sold at 35 cents apiece. The other seats will be 25 cents. Rabbi John Again. Rabbi Sergius, who was in Edge field recently, is at present in New bern, N. C. Preach?d there in the Baptist Church recently. They claim to have treed him at last, run him up a gum stump. The following letter from Trevandrum where the Rabbi professed to have a church does the showing up: TREVANDRUM, Oct. 7,1893. DEAR DR. VASS : Your letter ccmes to me, as Mr. Masteer is in England. Never hav ing heard of any Christian Jews to the L. M. S., or southern part of Travancore, I sent it to Dr. Hodges, C. M. S. (Church Missionary So ciety ) Bishop of Travancore. His secretary writes me for him : "Ser gius is a gross impostor, for there are no Christian Jews in Travan core." That venerable Archdeacon Koshi, D.D., a native gentleman of long experience of this land, says : 11 have never heard of such a person as Sergius, or of a Jewish Christian congregation in Travan core. The whole story appears to be a black species of imposture." This is to my mind couclusive, that is if his reference to Travan core is correct. This, of course, ie but avery small part of India, and ?ve should know the nanje of the place where his schools are, to be quite sure, * * * * I am sorry 1 cannot send you better news. * * * Yours most sincerely, HABOLD T. WILLS, M. A. Lay Missionary, L. M. S., (London Missionary Society.) Letter from Elmwood. MR. EDITOR: The oat crop ie looking remarkably well, more so than for several years past. If the season continui s favorable a large crop will be harvested, as a large area of land has been planted in oats. Wheat is also looking well, but there is not so much planted as ought to have been ; one great reason why more was not planted is there is not a first-class flouring mu? in the county. Wheat comes in whpn money is very scarce and is a great help to the farmers who have it. It is very common to hear (..eople say its cheaper to buy than make flour, etc., but the question is what are they going to pay with? If we depend altogether on making cotton to pay for everything we will be left out of sight, and never will catch up. Farmers complain a great deal about hard times. Well, I ex pect times are hard with a great many people, but most of them make the times so. It takes six days' work in every week of the year to make a good, honest living and what sort of a living do you think men make who work three days in a week, and some times not so many and then cry out "hard times 1" At 10 A. M. to-day Mrs. Permelia Ouzts died, aged about seventy eight. For many years she was a member of the Methodist Church at McKendree. She was a kind hearted Christian woman, and in her death the poor have lost a friend. She never turned a deaf ear to those who came to her for help. Only one week ago to-day her huebaud, Benjamin Ouzts, was buried, and on the second of this month her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Cartledge, died, and her son-in-law, Mr. Jerry S. Cartledge, died on Dec. 28th, 1893. In four weeks these four persons have diedjeav ingonly one member of the family, Mr. Cartledge's little four-year-old daughter. May the God of the orphan Bhield and protect her. LOOKER ON. Elmwood, S. C., Jan. 24. A Farmer Speaks On t tor Ell erbe. MR. EDITOR: There is being much talk in the county in regard to who will be Gov. Tillman's suc cessor in office, and some people have expressed themselves and said thal they did not know how we could dispense with Gov. Till man as Governor of the State, that it would be hard to find a man who would enforce the laws of the State as he has, having so much opposition as he ha6 had, and in the face of so many false misrep resentations by the antis who as a general thing never give him any credit for the many good things he has done, and blame him for every thing that happens in the State whether or not he had anything to do with it at all. A worthy suc cessor to Gov. Tillman would be Hon. W. LT. Ellerbe, the present Comptroller General, for Governor. He is a successful farmer, and has made one of the best Comptroller Generals we have had since the war. He has of course all the cor porations down on him because he has raised their taxes on a par with that of the farmers. He is a young man full of vim, backbone, force of character, and determination, and I have no doubt but that he would execute the laws of the State with great firmness and stability of purposa. Moreover he will stand up to the farmers, and he tries to make banks and railroads pay taxes on their property as they are assessed, which is right. They have as much right to pay on the assessed value of their property as the poor farmer who is the foundation of the world, as hie products that he grows feed the world, yet the farmer is rather looked upon contemptu ously by men of other professions and by the antis as men of no in telligence, not knowing anything as to how the State government ought to he run. Of course the farmers do not claim to know it all, but there are some of them who are about as intelligent as the averago man of other professions. Brother farmers you have a right to be heard, assert your rights, stand firmly united, and all pull together, and hold on firm to the farmers' movement, and do not let little things divido you because they were not done just as you thought they ought to have been; remember, united we 6tand, divid ed we fall, and division in the re form party ranks is just what the anti croakers want. But I read and think for myself and cannot be carried away by every little breeze that comes along, and es pecially not by those little June bug editors. L. 0. Elmwood, S. C.

Whittemore, a prominent citizen, president of the local Cali fornia Forty-miners' Association and ex-memb:r of Congress from South Carolina, died here last evening, aged 70 years. Whittemore was born at Maiden, Mass., on May 18, 1824. He re ceived au academic education and engaged in mercantile pursuits un til 1859, when he entered upon the ministry in the Methodist Episco pal Church. He entered the army during the war as chaplain of the 53d Massachusetts Volunteers ; served with regiment its entire term, and then was commissioned as chaplain of the 30th Massa chusetts Veteran Volunteers, with which regiment he remained until they were mustered out, serving in the army four years. After the close of the war he settled in South Carolina, where he established a "reconstruction" or gan called the New Era. He took a prominent part in organizing the Republican party in the State, and acted as chairman of its executive committee during the reconstruc tion period. He served as a mern? ber of the State Constitutional Conyention, and was elected to the Stat? Senate. This position he soon resigned to take a seat in Congress, to which he was elected in 1866 and again in 1868. lu February, 1870, a resolution was reported to the House for his expulsion on the charge of selling cadetships to the naval and mili tary academies and he promptly resigned to prevent any action, be iLg succeeded hy Joseph H. Rainey, tho first colored mau to be admit ted to Congress. Whittemore was subsequently elected to the South Carolina Senate, but resigned from that body in May, 1877, and finally removed to his native State. He was one of the greatest rascals sent to South Carolina from the North and resembled in many of his characteristics the "missionary children" who have stolen the kingdom of Hawaii. The State of Georgia Wins. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Su preme Court of the United States affirmed the validity and constitu tionality of the law passed by the Georgia Legislature October 16, 1889, providing for the taxation of the unlocated, transitory property of the railroads of that State. By the terms of this law, the prop erty of a railroad was to be divided for taxation among the counties through which it runs, in the pro position that the number of miles in each county bore to the full mileage of the road in the State. The Columbus Southern Railroad Company sued for an injunction to restrain the collection of taxes assessed under this law, upon the ground that it waa repugnant to the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees the equal pro tection of the laws of every State to the inhabitants of that State. Tribute of Respect. WHEREAS our heavenly Father in ?His divine providence has seen flt to remove from our Sunday-School by death, one of our beloved associates S. A. BLACK ; therefore be it Reselved, 1. That while we bow in submission to the sad dispensation of Him who doeth all things well, yet we humbly ask leave to give expression to our sadness and regret at this early and unexpected stroke. 2. That in the death of BRO. BLACK the Sunday-school has lost a kind hearted worker, and the church a pious member. 3. That we can only hope that Christ in whom he professed a belief did not forsake him in the supreme moment, but went witb him through the valley and shadow of death. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be tendered the bereaved family and also a copy be sent to the Lutheran Visitor and Edgefleld ADVERTISER. JAS. E. CAUGHMAN, RALPH A. BOOZER, JNO. P. MOORE, Committee.
