The latest from old Meriwether Township is that Butler has cap tured one more vote down there, and, perhaps, two. The re-organi zation of the Meriwether club takes place on the 28th of April, and at this re-organization the tale will be told as to whether Buller or Tillman stands first in the hearts of the Meriwether people. "'Sugar." The last Harper's .Weekly has pictures of the Darlington riot, and among other companies the Edgefield Hussars have a conspicu ous place. Several of the members of this company are recognizable. Capt. Sam Mays stands in front, we recognized also Capt. James Tillman, C. H. Anderson, and Brooks Mayson. Brooks was the tallest man that went to the war. Gray township sets an example which may well be followed by every township in the county. On the 7th day of April the citizens of this township held a mass meeting at which resolutions denouncing the Dar?ingtou riot and approving the course of Gov. Tillman were unanimously passed. A number of conservativos were present and the resolutions were written and introduced by one of the most in telligent conservatives in the county, Mr. Anion C. Stallworth.

Dick Anderson has re ceived from Abbeville a most artistic representation of a scene that occurred during the late un pleasantness. In the foreground is one of the* Columbia companies that has just flung down its arms and refused to go to the "war." They are dressed in the tip of soldier style and are keeping step beautifully, but the tears are pour ing from their eyes because they were not born "gal babies," and they are going home to Ma, who in ths background sits knitting placidly in a big rocking chair with a large bandbox beside her in which she will safely hide them when they have arrived. At the right, in the picture, are the hay seed crowd, farmers, with rakes, hoes, and pitchforks, delightedly eyeing the discarded guns and pre paring to exchange their rude weapons for those more suitable for warfare. The caricature is worthy of Puck. Edg-efield County Alliance. At a meeting of the Edgefield County Alliance on Friday last the following preamble and reso lutions, offered by Bro. L. J. Wil liams, were adopted : WHEREAS, The members of the Edgefield County Alliance and Alliaucemen generally supported the present National administra tion upon the faith of its platform pledges, and, WHEREAS,. Pres. Grover Cleve land and his co-adjutors have i shown an utter disregard of those pledges and the voters interests. 1 Resolved, By the Edgefield Couuty Alliance that we denounce the silver veto as the work of a trairor designed to necessitate an other bond issue, reduce the earn ings of productive labor, and further rob the poor in the interest of a monied aristocracy. Resolved further, That we en dorse the cause of our immediate representation in Congress, W. J. Talbert, and all of South Carolina's congressmen, save jne, in standing by party pledges and the peoples rights. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded tc the ADVERTISER for publication. S. B. MAYS, Sec. Co. Al. It is safe to say that there would have been no trouble ai Darlington or elsewhere in enforcing'the Dis pensary law if it were not for the. craftiness of the News and Courier in continually harping on the "invasion of^private homes." There hasn't been a raid on a private house-a house used solely for a dwelling-nineo the Dispensary law went into effect. And it is not at all likely that such raids will bo made unless justified. The sanctity of home is sacred and is jealously guarded by our people. Knowing that, the News and Courier has devoted itself to stirring up opposition to the Din pensary system by attributing every difficulty to that one thing. Such a course is a base misrepre sentation of facts, to say the least. -Ex.

Specially reported for the ADVERTISER bj one who was there. Decidedly the pet of the regi ment to which were assigned the Edgefield troops, was George John ston, colored, commonly known as the Ring-Tail Roarer of the Bache lor's Protective Union. When George heard that there was trouble in Darlington and Florence and that the "Cap'n" and some more of his friends were there he went to Capt. Mays and made ap plication to go along with the Edgefield boys to "tote luggage and do any fightin' that was necessary." George weut, and the Edgefield boys soou had him the pet of the whole brigade. At Darlington and at Florence as well as along the railroad where the train stopped a crowd would cluster aboi? him and cal) for a plantation yarn or a speech which was alway4 forth coming. One of the most amusing occasions, however, was at Florence where on the sidewalk standing upon an old kerosene barrel he ad dressed probably a thousand citi zens who gathered about the armory ELS much from curiosity aB any thing else. The militiamen backed him up while he spoke substan tially as follows : "Feller sogers, men and women : The fust thing in order is a drink. Widout a drink a man is always widout eloquence fittable to de occashun. I dereforn in justis to de great subject upon which I is about to deliver myse'f call upon th* Mayor er any uther patriotic citizen to hand me up about er gallun." [Great laughter.] A quart of stuff which in an emergency might be called whiskey was quickly forthcoming. It was soon outgoing. The orator was put in a weaving way. The audience cheered ; the speaker again begun to speak : '.You see before you at this mo ment, feller-citizens 'and nir/gers, a man who haz never yit faled to respond to the call uv his country; I am here as a patriut to perform a patriutic duty." [Good natured cries from the populace of "Take him down," '.Cut his throat," "Pull out his whiskers." The soldiers 1 allied around their favorite to boost him up and cheered lustily. One long, lean, lank Ethiopian in rear of the crowd brayed like a jack-ass. That was too much for George and he thundered out :] . . "Oh you kin bray loud, and you can bray long, but you will never git to Lue fodder. [Laughter.J And I wanter say right here, nigger, dat &f you insults me agin I'll not be 'eponsible fer your early decese." Somewhat of a sensation possessed the audience when thc speaker, in order to impress upon them the importance of his remark, stuck a six-shooter in a second-hand leg ging that encased his right leg. George then told them that he was there for business. He "was fifty feet front and rear to the river. There were some people before him," he said, "who didn't have patriotism enough about them to keep the breath warm in a four year old child." "What about the soldiers?" ex claimed George in a loud voice. "Yes, what about us sogers? Ef it hadn't been fur us that great Amer ican eagle that haz fiewod so long and kivered our juvenil' years with his wings-that eagle, feller citizens, that sleeps on tho ragin' tornado and warms hisself in de sun-that proud and glorious eagle would long ago have had his tail feathers stamped out," [Great ap plause, followed by a flight of hats and caps in the air.] "Wo is here to uphold tho law. To cling to de constitution till it goes out inter de expiring regions of oblivion. [Applause.] The dispensary is constitutional ac cording to the statutes, and it mus' be lived up to fodder or no fodder. [Cheers.] To be agin thc dispen sary law is tor bo agin tho consti tution, and that ere insterment can't be vierlated in my prezence by no man." [Loud, long, and thundering applause, which con tinued while George took another drink.] "Feller cits., Florence is a great place. It's ail sorts uv er place. And you've got all sorts uv peple here. Why I saw a man last nite whut snores so loud he had to sleepover on the other side uv the strete to keep from waking hissolf. [Laughter.] I saw er man yistidy who was so big and heavy dat hiz shadder killed er little boy wheu it fell on him. [Laughter.] I also seed er man whose noze wuz so long dat he had to step forward three foots to reach to Jgend uv it. [Laughter.] Talk about fightin'. Why ef er row wuz t< r start here you all would run so fast and so fur dat when you stopped it would take yer shadder twenty minits to ketch up wid yer." [Laughter.] "But let us have peace. So peace ful that when we wander into de depths of the forest nature will be as beautiful as er lady ?:wine ter er weddin', de lebes glisten on de maple trees j ist like new five dol lar bills in a missionary box; de sun shine ez brilliant and natur look ez gay as a rabbit in er parsely patch; and dere we kin listen ter de little bell around de ole sheeps nake tinkle softly in the'distance." [Laughter and applause.] "Before I cloze and bid you a sad farewell I want er say something ter de butiful wimin dat I see be fore me. I hab always in my life found de gals to be fust in lub, fust in de dance, fust in de ice cream ealun, and de fust last and best in er sick room. What would ?ve poor fellers do widout 'em. Let ns be born as ugly and as helpless as we please, and a woman's arms is ready ter receive us ; she it am ?vho puts cl?ze 'pon our helpless, naked limbs and cubbers up our Footses and toeses in loug flannel petticoats; and it am she who, as ?ve grow up, fills our dinner baskit ?vid doughnuts and apples as'we start to school, and licks us when ive tears our britches. [Great laughter and applause.] I thank pou feller citizens, men, and wim uin fur yer kindness, and I hope 3at we may meet in dat other and better land." When old George tried to get :lown from the speakers stand the barrel turned over, but did no damage. The boys carried the speaker into the armory upon their shoulders, amid much cheering and laughter. Thc Darlington Tragedy. Editor Atlanta Constitution: Your editorial in your Situ day edition, commenting on the recent deplorable tragedy at Darlington, S. C., iu which you commend Gov ernor Tillman as a fearless, able, and honest executive, is a fine arti cle, and does him no more than justice. 1 think, however, you magnify tne evils of what you are pleased to call the "spy" system, whereas, the State constables are no more "spies' than are the police or detectives who are always recog nized asa necessary and [respecta ble adjunct of all well-regulated communities. The recent terrible tragedy at Darlington and the lamentable loss of the lives of several of the most esteemed citizens of that city is the logical and direct result of the teaching of certain papers in the State, to oppose Governor and officials. No greater proof of this can be given than the remarkable action of some of the companies of the State militia in throwing down their arms when called on by the comm an der-in chief to preserve the peace and defend the property of the State. This incident will go down in history as the first in stance, thank God, andi hope the last, when Carolinians refused to respond to the call of Carolina. They have been educated,deceived, and duped into the belief that the citizens were being wronged by the Dispensary law. which is the best law on the statute books of South Carolina to-day. I regard the men slain, on both sides, as martyrs, the constables in that they died with their boots on like brave men doing their duty, and the citizens because they knew not what they were doing, being so wrought up over the sentimental and fatal fallacy about a man's home being his castle, etc. One would think we lived in the days of Brian du Bois Gilbert and Richard Cuor de Leon, to listen to all this nonsense about his "castle." If a mau uses his "castle" to store contraband or stolen pto perty, who cares how soon his "castle" is blown up with a pop gun? The humiliating and morti fying position of the disbanded militia companies is a matter of greatest regret, and that they are beginning to realize what a terrible mistake they have been duped in to making, is evident from the elaborate explanations now daily forth-coming. The tragedy will strengthen Governor Tillman and perpetuate the Dispensary law. GEORGE T. PRINGLE, Charleston, S. C. Sam Jones, speaking of Col Bob [ngersolJ, said: "If you want to sae a monkey feeding time, you get old Bob to let me talk along with him. He ain't goin' todo it, th ?ugh. Not ho. Ho couldn't stand up before me, and he knows it. You see the facts are against him." _ An elegant Hue of furniture al ways on hand and for sale at bottom figures at Ramsey & Bland's. A Gharlcstonian's View. To the Editor of The World. Reading the press dispatches one would think that Governor Till man had stolen his office and that the dispensary law was put upon the statute books by fraud. The truth is that ho was elected the first time because "the masses' were disgusted with the dishonesty and iutoleranoe of the then govern ing class. He was elected the sec ond time on account of his unim peachable honesty and firm deter mination to carry out every law on the statute book. He accused the previous [administration of dishonesty and he proved it in his speeches, and even the very papers that opposed him gave ac counts of how certain state officials were dishonest. Now for the dispensary law. I am a drinking man and will state on oath that the liquor sold by the state is twice as good and pure as the miserable concoction sold by most liquor men. The Charleston News and Cou rier keeps cn reiterating day after day that there are few if any "bhnd tigers" in this cit}', when I myself have seen one of the staff of that paper in at least four different sa loons drinking. The whole truth of the matter is, this: The three leading papers of the ?tate are down onTill nan sim ply because they no longer receive the "public pap" that they did on former occasions. They and they only are responsible for the Dar lington affair, inciting the people to resist state officers and loot dis pensaries. In fact they have almost told them to kill the constables. All this talk about several hun-1 dred men going from Charleston to Darlington is rot. None but the tough element would do so ahd all the law-abiding citizens would do their utmost to prevent bloodshed. Personally, ? do not approve of the dispensary law, but I say. and all law-abiding citizens say with me. that as it is the law, observe it until the majority of the people repeal it.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There was neyer a time in the his tory of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was sc great as now. The conveniences of mankind in the factory and work shop, the household, on the farm, and in official life, require continual ac cessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time, and expense. The political change in the administration of the government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, wi o being on the alert' and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existingdiscrepencies. Too great care cannot be exercised in choos uga competent and skillfully attor ney to prepare and prosecute an ap plication for patent. Valuable intersts have been lost and destroyed in in numerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the "Xo patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never considered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager, 618 F street, N. W., Wash ington, D. C.. representing a large number of important daily and weekly papers, as well as general peoiodicals of the country, was instituted to pro tect its patrons from the unsafe methods heretofore emnloyed in this line of business.
