Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 7,1894. LOGAla BREVITIES. They're trottin' out the candidates they're fallin' into line; The fight is to the finish, an' the boys are feelin' fine; There's fifty-five from Billville, and sixty-seven from Brown; They're after the persimmons, an' they're shakin' of 'em down 1 lt's early in the battle, but the mules are oct for bray; The drums strike up a rattle, an' the bands begin to play ! The candidates are shoutin' an' a keepin' up the din, An' its "glory hallelula!" an' the fast est horse'll win ! Easter Sunday falls ou the 25th of March this year. Mr. Sheppard Yeldell of Liberty Hill was in town on monday. It will not be lopg before the old fashioned over-skirts will be the rage. Don't spend too much money for fertilizers. Make your own com post. Silver Back Mackerel, N. 0. Syrup, etc,, etc. Come and see. W. W. ADAMS. Major S. S. Tompkins and wife of Columbia were in Edgefield a few days this week, Dispensary Inspector Yeldell was at Newberry last week, and in Edgefield to-day, Tuesday. Auditor Haltiwanger has com pleted his rouuds in the county and may now be found in his office. Cotton Seed Meal, Acid Phos phate, and Kainit, get my prices before buying. W. W. ADAMS. The Sumter Freeman has dis covered that Alfred Tennyson was both a freetrader and an Alliance- , man. Married, Jan. 23, 1894, by Rev. J. P. Mealing, Mr. Kyle, of Ala bama, and Miss Lizzie Ryan, of Edgefield. Dr. J. R. Beall has moved to Johnson with his family for the purpose of educating his children. General John B. Gordon will deliver his famous lecture on the "last days of the Confederacy" in Augusta on next Friday night. Henry Watterson says the Wil son bill is free trade powders in protection capsules. Ah, but Henri, the powders do the work. Bishop Capers will rreach in the Episcopal Church at this place on vSJunday next. He will remain in leefield several days of next *eelr>v j Senator Butler, as promised in January, was to have been in Ben- < nettsville, Marlboro county, on the < first Monday in this month to ' speak on national politics. This was probably the first gun of the i campaign. There will be a public meeting of the Sunbeam band on Sunday afternoon next in the Baptist { church at 3 o'clock, at which W. S. Jacobs and S. McGowan Simkins will deliver short ad dresses to the children. All j denominations are invited to be present. So far as we have beeu able to learn a leBS quantity of fertilizers has been bought by the farmers of Edgefield county this spring than for many years. It may be a case of necessity with them, that they 1 are not able to buy, but we believe this necessity will be a blessing in 1 the end for we are sure the indis- 1 criminate use of commercial fer- ' tilizers has been a curse. i Lexington county has brought ! forward the name of J. Walter Mitchell, Esq., for Congress, to 1 fill Judge Brawley's place. Mr. 1 Mitchell is an Edgefield county man, and Edgefield county would like to see him win. The Loxing- ' ton Dispatch thus speaks of him : . "Judge Mitchell is an honest, courteous, and clever gentleman, a red hot reformer, iu thorough sym pathy with the Alliance demands, of broad and liberal views, and if elected would do credit to himself and his constituents in Congress, and we would be pleased to hear of his nomination." We heard a Methodist preacher of this county in speaking of the dispensary law recently say this: "I prefer prohibition, but if the present dispensary law could re main on the statute book twenty five years, there will not be a young man in South Carolina then who would have ever been in a barroom ora gambling saloon in all his life, unless he learned these things, and did ?iese thing out of the State. Thia makes the law one of iucalculabh promise, and will bring down blessings from heaven on the people that uphold and sustain it. The Confederate veterans who met bore on last monday were very few in number, in fact it waa a very small affair. The impres sion has gone abroad throughout Edgefield county that this organization is to be used for political purposes and this im pression, whether true or false has kept many very many from joining. We are assured by members thaijthere is no political scheme or purpose involved by the old soldiers themselves, and any attempt to turn it in that direction -v-iii" be promptly and sharply rebuked. We hope tharefore, this thing won't drag any longer, and that every old soldier in the county will unite himself with this -organization. It is a duty he owes to himself and posterity. Married, Feb. 4th, 1894, by the Rev. J. P. Mealing, Mr. Abner Corley and Miss Dorma Reynolds, all of Edgefield county. Mr. J. C. Whitlock, of the Vau cluse section, says that 1894 will, in his judgment, prove to be the hardest year ever known in this country. Edgefield Boys at Furman. W. D. Holland, an Edgefield student at Furman University, has been elected vice-president of the Adel ph ian Society, H. M. Garrett, Censor, and W. E. Lott, Ser gean t at-arme. Tue Edgefield Rifles. The Edgefield Rifles bas been re-organized by the election of| Maj. R. S. Anderson captain, and on next Thursday night there will be another meeting for the purpose of electing the other officers. It isl confidently hoped that Capt. An-| derson will soon restore its old time strength and efficiency. Let all the young men in our commu nity put their shoulders to the wheel and help Capt. Anderson to build this old company up again. Weather for January. Weather Observer C. A.

Globe Acid. The following will explain itself: COLUMB:A, S. C.. Feb. 2. DEAR SIR : We to-day received'| the Clemson College report of our Acid Phosphate for season of 1894 : i.p. A.P. Pot- R.e. Acid.

Clemson gave us the highest inalyses last season of any Acid made in the State, this season our inalysip goes still higher. JOHN H. HUIET. Gen'l Agent. Mr. Rainsford Cantelou. Mr. Rainsford Cantelou died at his home in the suburbs of Edge field on Saturday night last, aged about; sixty-one years. For many sveary months he had languished apon a bed of extreme illness, and ao words can express the anguish Df his dear ones as they witnessed sufferings which their tender min istrations could not relieve. After long and patient waiting for re lease his tired soul entered into rest. In the early dawn of an earthly Sabbath he passed into the joys of the eternal Sabbath with its calm and peace and full fruition of earthly hopes and longiugs. Mr. Cantelou was one of our most estimable citizens, a man of high, unblfmished character, generous, hospitable, upright in heart and life, blameless in his relations ae husband, father, frinnd, and citi zen. Ile was a successful and prosperous man, a most influential member of our community, whose influence for good will long be felt. Years ago he joined our village Baptist Church and was a working Chrietiau, frequently giving testi mony in the congregation of his faith in, and love for Christ. He leaves a widow, three sons, Messrs. James, Joseph H., and Bettis Cantftlou, and one daughter, Miss Mary Cantelou. To these bereaved ones we tender our deep est sympathy in their heavy afflic-J tion. "Down Went McGinty." The following account of a little "scrap" Countable Tom Whittle got into in Charleston, we clip from the News and Courier: The participants in the encoun ter were Constables Thomas Whit tle, of Edgefield, and John Stroebel, ot Barnwell. Constable Whittle is a man who is well known throughout the State, having been doorkeeper of the Senate for four years. Like thc most of his fellow countrymen he is not slow to anger, >md when he resents an insult he does so in a prompt and vigorous manlier. Constable Stroebel is a large man of a dark complexion, and physically looks like he oughi to be more than a match for hit opponent, but Couustable Whittle while not so tall, has a powerful frame and looks like he was capa ble of taking care of himself in any kind of a crowd. The scrap, happened about ID thi8way: Constables Stroebel and Whittle were to go down to th wharf yesterday afternoon to seee the Clyde boat "come in. Constable Whittle askea Constable Stroebel to wait for him,while he went up to his room in the Commercial House. When he came back he found Constable Stroeblehad gone off and left him. It seems that Constable Whittle I hen went down to the wharf and there the music was not slow to begin. Constable Whittle went up to Constable Stroebel and asked him why he had not waited for him. Stroebel replied that he could not be wait ing all day on Whittle. The latter then told him that recently he (Stroebel) had on numerous occasions misrepresent ed him and tried to place him in a bad light. Stroebel denied it, but Whiff e told him he was a liar and at the same time Btruck him a stinging blow over the head with his walking stick. Strorebel's bat went flying. He stepped off to pick it up and started back at Constable Whittle in a threatenidg manner. As Stroebel came up to him Constable Whittle gave him a straight one from the shoulder striking him in the chest. This ended the conflict. From the best imformatiou that could be obtained it does not seem that Constable Stroebel was hankering after a fight. The set to was lively while it lasted, but it appears that it was the Ed?efleld man's fight from the minute time was called until the round ended. News from Franklin. MR. EDITOR: Farmers here abouts are all trying again to git ready to make some more cotton and lees corn. Hard times is the universa! cry, and of all classes of men the farmer should be the last mau to make such a cry, for they ought to be and could be the most independent people in the world. With hog and hominy no man can perish. But when a man makes a ' hard bed he ought to lie on it, and cotton makes a hard bed. Grip hae left this section, and as a consequence the gee-haw is heard again from the plow-boy, and the axe and maul are heard in every direction. A good sign ; and even Cuffee has made up his mind to work a little better than ever be fore. Miss Sal!ie Reel, from the Dun tonville section, is visiting in this vale of tears, and some of the boys will shed tears when she leaves. Miss Sallie is a charming young lady, and blessed will be the man who shares the trials and joys of life with her. Miss Agues Morgan has a flour ishing school at Barr's Chapel, and is well liked by both patrons and pupils, She will teach a Bible class at Barr's Chapel and we look for much improvement both in church and school. We see your next door neighbor still gives the dispensary law "hail Columbia." We do not believe a word as to a constable striking a lady in Char leston. Why? Because South Carolina has no sucn men. Even the lowest of the low have too much respect for women to strike jne. The Big Paper man reminds me Df an occurrence in Alabama away back in the good old days. A feller by the name of Johnson fell in love with a gal by the name of Sal. One Sunday Johnson went to see Sal, and Sal persuaded him to stay till after supper that they might have a little love chat after wards. Well at the supper table, ma being a little unwell, Sal had to pour out the coffee and she mo tioned Johnson to sit on her left ? that he might not get burnt with the coffee pot. It made him very ' happy to be so near Sal, and while looking all around to see if every body was as happy as he was a big black cow bug dropped into his cup of coffee. Not seeing the bug when it foll in the cup he was puzzled to know how it got there, but concluded that Sal put it there to try hie love, thinking that if he drank the coffee with the bug in it his love would be true. He would look at the bug and then look at Sal, and at last concluded that rather than hurt Sal's feel ings he would shut his eyes and go it blind and drink coffee, bug and all, and so he did. This we suppose is the way with the' Big Paper. Rather than lose the big pay received for harping on Till man and the dispensary he shuts his eyes and swallows down the gieatest curse ever known to man, the barrooms. We are still for Tillman and the dispensary. ENCORE. Franklin, S. C. Happenings at Parksvillc. MR. EDITOB : At 10 o'clock Sun day morning we had, as usual, Sunday-school at the Baptist Church, with a large attendance and interest still increasing. At ll o'clock Rev. G. W. BusBey preached an excellent sermon from 2nd Cor. 5-20 : "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ as though God did be seech you by us : We pray you in Christ's st^ad, be ye reconciled to God." He divided the text into four heads. First, what is an ambassa dor. Second, what is the duty of a i ambassador. Third, the com i mission of an ambassador. Mr. Bussey is remarkable for his depth of thought aud clearness. In the afternoon we had our regular semi-monthly Bible society the subject Faith. Nothing is so improving to the young as these meetings. Miss Molona Parks, daughter of Hon. W. R. Parks, worshiped at the Parksville Baptist Church last Sunday. Rev. W. A. Wilkes, pastor of the Methodist Church, organized a Sunday Sunday School at his Church on last Sunday. He is proving himse f a most excellent man and model pastor. Miss Laura Dorn, niece of our worthy townsman Mr. L. F. Dorn, has been on a visit here for some time, but will return to her home in a few days. There will be weep ing among the boys. Rev. G. H. Burton, of McCor mick, was in town on Monday last, the guest of Mr. Dorn. Mis? Alice Scott, one of Barn- ? well's brightest and loveliest . daughters, is on a visit to relatives ] aud friends of our town. Our town is not flighted by agents and drummers. Not more than a hundred pass to and fro every day, and we are on a boom judging from the number of "grip sacks" that go up and down our streets. The interest in our literary so cie'y is wonderful, old and young attend. There have been several new features introduced of late, much to the amusement and edi fication of those who attend. The sad news comes to our town of the death of Mrs. W. A. Cartledge, of Modoc. Our town extends deepest sympathies to the bereft husband and children. AMICUS. Parksville, S. C. Red Hill Items. MR. EDITOR : The winters chill ing breeze has changed our spring like weather into winter at last and we are once more reminded of I the true situation, that we are in the midst of winter. Many of the little fruit buds were being decoj' ed from their hiding places, but ' we trust that Ihe cold winds will again make them seek their winter quarters to come forth in due time 1 with a bountiful supply of fruit , to help lighten the burdens that < are now so very oppressive. Jan uary, as is usually the case, was j taken up in "trying to get straight." ? Very little plantation work has 1 been done and the "hard times" , keep the planters from making j improvements in buildings, except ? from actual necessity. ! The gra?n crops in this and other sections of the county, over ? which the writer has been, are not i as flourishing as they should be, 1 judging from the mildness of the - winter, yet the stands are perfect, 1 and with no further hindrance the ; promises are good for a bountiful J yield. ! The guano craze is not so great 1 among the farmers of the west , Bid?- aa in years past, and some 1 Beem indifferent as to buying at ? all. Yet farmers are somewhat ! like sheep, when one jumps the , fence they all follow, believing the 1 pastures are greener on the other Bide. 1 The free schools are upon us and Bvery one wantB a school located ; at his spring, and it is generally allowed to keep down "hard feel- ! ing8." The little pupil who learn- < Bd to spell a little last year will learn about the same this term j and be ready to begin at the same old place next term. Our repre- , sentatives could build for them- , selves a monument as lasting as j th? rocks of Gibraltar by solving i the school question and devising I some plan by which the schools J could be centralized and continued , for five or six months or longer < each year. Will not some ot our 1 prospective candidates give the ball a start? Charity begins at home and we should look to the : welfare of those who are to rule us in the years to come, and uo law could be a greater blessing than ? placiug in reach of the masses of the people a good free school. Death has again irvaded the homes of the Cartledge family. This time claiming as its victim Mary Mathis, the beloved wife of Mr. W. A. Cartledge, of Modoc. Husband, four daughters, and two sons arc left to mourn her depart ure. RADCLIFF. Cold Spring, S. C. Collcting Railroad Taxes. WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The absence of a law making the taxes due from railways a first lien on their earnings the propose of a bill to which some considera tion was given this morning by the House judiciary Committee. The bill provides a way by which State, county and municipal taxes due from railways in the hands or recivers may be paid. It was repre sented to the committee that a number of Southern railways are in the hands of receivers and that difficulties are experienced in col lecting the taxes. The bill was discussed at some length but the committee adjourned before tak ing action upon it. Sorry Spectacle. Charleston is making a sorry spectacle of herself in going to war in support of the lawless char acter of the city, who would annul the satutes of the. state. Charles ton has so long ruled this state by a wise judicious cause that she may now thinkj she can do the same thing by force, but when a great I city like Charleston alline herself with the worst element of the town as against the legal and recog nized civil authority of the state she will find the error of her way. If Charleston is, however, seek ing for Tillman's re-election for a third term, then she is pursuing the proper course. The law will be enforced even if it takes Tillman to enforce it. There is ju:it no use of talking about the Charleston liquor n?.ob ruling South Carolina. This newspaper would sooner be ruled hy any lawful authority than by a liquor mob,even if that mob w&e supported by the daily news papers of the State.-Press and Banner. CHILD BIRTH . . . . . .
