Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1894. LOGALz BREVITIES. Senator Butler is advising Con servatives to join Reform clubs. "Laying by" time basc?me, and that last.ploughingcannot be given the cotton. You will no go blind if you look at Ramsey & Eland's splendid stock of blind bridles, just received. Col. Thos. S. Sease, of Newberry, a rising young lawyer, attended the campaign meeting in Edgefield last Thursday. Notice change in Mr. J. M. Gaiues's notice to the Reformers of Edgefield county, and be gov erned thereby. If you didn't sow your turnips on the full of the moon in this month, you can sow them on the full moon in August, and do just as well. Our talented young friend B. W. Crouch, of Dennys, has been elect ed principal of the Hebron High School, Marlboro, S. C., whither he will go in a few days. The Old Hickory Wagons, in compaiable forever, still take the lead everywhere. Ramsey & Bland can supply ynu and send you home happy. "The Colleton Standard says that Edgefield has two candidates on the State ticket that are as ugly as Bin,' but that's all the sinning they do, take our word for it, contem porary. Mt. J. M. Gaines, of Gaines, is spending a short time in the moun tains cf southwestern Virginia. He writes us of the grand scenery, the blue grasp, fine cattle, and horses, etc., etc. The campaign meeting which was to have been held at Sister's Springs (Haltiwanger's) has been changed to the 9th of August, in stead of the 11th. Let candidates and the public generally note this. If you are a kicker, and want to kick anvthing or anybody from Ben Tillman or Butler down to a Kickapoo you are welcome to do your kicking in the columns of the Edgefield ADVERTISER. Rev. Alexander Bettis, colored, has postponed the protracted meet ings, usually held in July, until . August, announcing to his mem bers that they must first get out of ihe grass. Rev. Bettis is a wibe and good preacher. James Y. Culbreath, Esq., is a candidate for the Legislature in Newberry county. If he needs any votes Edgefield wllTbe glad to come -orcr and supply them, but New berry will elect him if she knows a good thing when she sees it. We direct attention to the adver tisement in this issue of the South Carolina College, which opens on Sept. 20th. This institution has a full corps of instructors, fiue ap paratus in the department of physics, and is said io have the finest library iu the South. "Bill Nye" says there are only two classes of males who take the arm of a lady while walking or promenading. One is the gent to whom God saw flt to deny that soft and subtile growth called brains, add the other is the gent who has overdone the wassail business and i? being steered home by his un happy wife. Wanted a few good, responsible, and energetic men to sell the Latest Improved Singer Sewing Machines, and to collect on accounts in Edge field county. To the right men wg guarantee good pay and permanent positions. Applicant must be able to give small honesty bond and foruish horse and harness. Apply at once to THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE COMPANY, Augusta, Ga. Perhaps as much interest is focused in the race for county su pervisor this year as for any other county office, and we've frequently been asked who would be elected. Of course we don't know this, but we do know that who ever is elect ed will get fits if he don't give us better roads. There will be no way of shirking the responsibility poking it oil on somebody oise. Wc will make this prediction about this office of county supervisor: the man who is elected this year will never be elected again. A Lot of New Ones. We present a lot of new candi dates this week, four for the House of Representatives, one for Audi tor, and one for School Commis sioner. The plot thickens?-the combat deepens ! On ye brave who rush to glory or to stay at home. Another Barbecue. There will be a big barbecue and basket picuic at the Meriwether Hall, Aug. 2nd, under thc super vision of John Hudson, Esq. The public is invited to attend. The old folks will talk politics and eat good meat, while for the young folks there will be music and danc ing. Mr Hudson's barbecues are particularly famous among the good folks of Meriwether. Newberry College. This noted institution is nearer Edgefield than any collega in ihe State, and Edgefleld youth have been patronizing it ever since its organization. Among its graduates are many men of talent ; its course is thorough, professors able, and the president, Dr. G. W. Holland, Ph. D., is one of the most experi enced educators of the State. We 3P.11 attention to the advertisement of this institution in another column. Tlie Canpaign Meeting at Edge field-Thursday July 19th. Communicated. The 19th of July dawned upon us hot and damp. Clouds and heat proclaimed torrents of rain, still from early morning people gath ered from all directions, and hun dreds massed in the Academy Grove, under whose shadowy oaks many a!firey and eloquent debate has been thundered forth. We wended our way through this multitude, and fouud a seat or rather si.andiug room near the platform, on which was ranged 12 or mor? candidates, all belonging to the reform party. Reporters in their midst were busy at work. Lieut. Gov. Timmerman intro duced the speakers in rote. First comes Mr. Mayfield of Greenville, candidate for superintendent of education. This man has a pleas ing face, makes a good speech, shows whv and wherefore he should have this office. He gives his op ponent some sharp thrusts, and sits down amid cheers. Mr. Wrhitman rises and retali ates insisting on his superiority as a superintendant of education. Then comes Mr. Yeldell as can didate for Railroad commissioner. Mr. Yeldell has a most genial face, and your heart warms toward him involuntarily. He has two op ponents, Mr. Wilburn of York and Mr. Thomas of Sumter, who dig each other in the ribs unmerciful ly, and who make many bon mots, which are greeted with cheers and laughter. Hon. Mr. Timmerman intro duces Mr. Watts of Laurens for adjutant and inspector general, a slender stripling of 21 or 22 years. He seems slightly affected with stage fright ; quieting down, how ever, he makes a pi'hy speech. Said he went to Darlington, did his duty, had been censured se verely, but would continue to do what he thought was right at all hazards. Some fair young girl sends up to him a royal sunflower with long yellow ribbon attached. Mr Richbourg, his contestant, has the stand, another Darlington hero, whose photo appeared in Harper's Weekly in connection with the Darlington riot. He look6 a French marquis, stately, elegant, as was his speech. Next comes Secretary Tindal for the office of the chief executive. The rain comes pelting down, um brellas are opened ! the sun peeps out once more ! Mr Tindal remarks that an open umbrella is always a dampener to the speaker. We like his talk and appearance, dignified and cultured. Now comes up Gen Ellerbe, gaunt, tall, and quite ugly, but when he warms up to the fight he is bright and snappy. The crowd laugh and cheer. He aud Mr John Gary Evans are two game cocks pitted against each other. But you can't down Ellerbe. He digs his gaffs into his colleague mercilessly. In the mean time some zealous Tillmauite in slouched hat and heated with "blind tiger" starts a quarrel with a negro, also warmed up with the same ingredients. Knives are drawn, they stagger for ward with oaths! Gen Butler clears the platform with command ing voice, and breaks up this melee. Some man at our-elbow remark ed: "These Edgefield women are the bravest in the State." Mr John Gary Evans replies to Gen Ellerba in a very spicy speech. These hot young bloods do not come to blows however. With r-o many contestants for this offic?, we trust that one worthy and efficient may be selected to hold this exalted position. Now the two gladiators enter the arena ! Tillman and Butler ! Tillman is greeted mid deafen ing yells, and doffing of bats. He looks a figure moulded iu bronze, like Napoleon at Austerlitz, calm, intellectual, self assured, all con quering. He does not recognize Gen Butler as an opponent, aud ex pects to go to the Senate. Clemson College and Rock Hill are monu ments to Tillman's name. Gen Butler, elegant, polished, chivalrous, makes a ringing speech, winning bim many votes. A re mark he makes acts as dynamite thrown in the crowd. With one bound and veli several partizans of each faction reach the platform prepared to fight it out. Newspa per reporters scatter to the four winds, but Tillman's iron will quells this tumult. The day closes quietly and blood lessly, and with a dinner in the grove given by Gen Butler and his friends. Thc Y. M. C. A, Convention. Communicated/.' The beautiful Opera House, now the Y. M. C. A. hall, was tho place of meeting last week for the Edge field County convention of theY. M. C. A. The first gathering was to hear the testimonies and c'igges tious of the different young men on the best way of deriving the greatest, benefit from the conven tion. There was a prayer and song service, participated in by a choir consisting of our local talent, and by visitors. The beauty of the music was also greatly enhanced by the cornet clarionet, and piano. Mr. Lewis, state secretary of Geor gia, conducted the devotional exer cises, after which short addresses were made by Messrs. A. S. Jami son, and F. F. Whilden of Charles ton, H. M. Johnson, and Melton Clarke of Columbia, T. B. Lanham aud John Lake of Edgefield village. The two general thoughts running throughout all the addresses were the great need of prayer and the necessity for the Hoiy Spirit. The young women of the town had decorated the hall and stage with flowers and evergreen vines of the loveliest varieties, thus show ing to some degree the kind hospi tality which prompted them. The convention proper began on Friday morning and was in session during the whole day. The even ing services began at 8:30 o'clock, the most interesting features of this meeting having been the mu sic and an essay on Y. M. C. A. work by Mr. Melton Clark of Co lumbia. The rest of the program for the time was postpoued on ac count of the ominous appearance of the weather. Saturday svas also given to the sessions of the con vention. The afternoon meeting consisted of the devotional exer cises and an address on the Y. M. C. A. work at Good Hope by Mr. Henry Butler. This paper .was listened to and much admired by the congregation. The spirit, en ergy, and persevering covrage of this young man are to be highly commended. Mr. Arthur Tomp kins also read a paper entitled "Business in religion." On Satur day evening an essay was read by Mr. A. T. Jamison of Charleston on "the Y. M. C. A. work in con nection with the church." An ad dress on Christian work was also delivered by Mr. F. F. Whilden of Charleston. The Sunday services were by far the moBt interesting and compre hensive. In the morning, there were services conducted in the Baptist church by Messrs. A. T. Jamison, and Mathews of Charles ton and Atlpnta. At the same hour in the Methodist church re ligious exercises were conducted by Messrs. Whilden and Lewis. In the afternoon, there was a meeting for men in the Opera House, one for boys in the Methodist church, and a m&eting for women in the Presbyterian church, after which there was a Sunday school mass meeting in the Baptist church lead by Mr. F.F. Whilden. The fare well gathering of the convention took place in the Y. M. C. A. hall on Sunday evening. This was per haps the best and most glorious assemblage during the whole con vention. The essay read by Mr. Jas. T. Bacon on "Y. M. C. A. work as I have seen it," was very much complimented by those who heard it. One of the delegates remarked that it was worth coming from Charleston lo hear that alone. Thus ended the convention, and we have failed to dwell upon or emphasize the noble and weighty causes and results of this great meeting. May all who participa ted in it be bbssed with long life and the means of actiye service in the Master's vineyard. It is a subject of much solici tude that Mr. John Lane will not during the ensuing year devote his whole time and services to the Y. M. C. A. work, as he has so faith fully done in the past. However we feel sure that he will be no less a shining light in the occupa tion to which he will now devote himself. Mr. T. B. Lanham has consent ed to give his Sundays to this great department of Chrietian work, and we feel sure that with his energy and perseverance, he will be able to accomplish and continue to car ry on the good work in Edgefield County. [For the ADVERTISER. ITEMS FKOI ETHEREDGE. Tillman and Butler and Butler and Tillman. MR. EDITOR: It is Tillma: ind Butler one day and Butler and Tillman the next with our people now. It seems, according to their own statement, that both will be elected. If they are, lookout ye worshippers of the false gods of of Wall street, you will see trouble or Tillman and Butler are both liars. Why is it that people take up so much time in discussing National and State politics, and say very little or nothing about that of the county and township? Dowe not reap more benefit from what is done at home than abroad? The men in the "little office" will help U6 more than the "big office men." If there is any good done right among us we will realize it, and it will be more to our own individual interest. Let us see to it that good, honest, and upright men are placed in the "little office," especially those who handle public money. Now is a good time to begin, and let us put away all prejudice, vote according to our own conscience, and all will come right. We are now about to try a new plan in re gard to the road system. The su pervisor will handle "big money," money paid out of our pockets for our own benefit, and let us see to it that a man who "knows his business," and one who can get value received for what he pays out, gets the office. Again the school commissioner is another who handles money for us, and how many of them visit all the public schools, and know to whom they are giving our money. Reader, you can count them with your eyes shut. Education is some thing we must have, it is our daily bread and butter, and if we don't get it we perish. We want a man interested in educational work, one who has the interest of our chil dren at heart, Mr. Gibson is a man who has manifested such an interest. Voter, be honest to your children, vote for Gibson, and he will help you in their behalf. SWARTZ. Etheredge, S. C., July 21. [For the ADVERTISER. "What in the Name of Damnation E>oes This Mean? MR. EDITOR: The contest be tween Butler and Tillman seems to have lost some of its objectionable features. In other words, they are behaving better. Let us hope they will continue to conduct themselves as becomes representative men of proud old South Carolina. In the near future the candidates for legislative honors and those for county offices will swoop down up on the dear people. Much interest is felt about the candidates for the Legislature, and much feeling is, or will be, manifested when the slate is made up, if it is made as it was in 1892. Many are opposed to the slate bu3iuess. and they will break it this tim? if it can be done without a complete abandonment and surrender of principles-tho principles of reform. They say it is worse, much worse, than the old convention plan, a direct violation of all that has been taught us by the Reform Movement, for the rea son that the masses have less than no voice in choosing me men, they being only allowed by their votes to endorse a slatey made they know not how. If thero is not much discussion, good judgment, used in the selection of the ?ve, there will be many who will not vote the whole ticket, and this scribe will be one of them, cost what it may. There is not and will not be any opposition to some of those men tioned whose names will appesr on the slate, if one is made. There are those mentioned who will not be acceptable, and they will not be supported except as the very last resort. We know what we are talking about, and mean what we say. Col. Bob Watson has been named as one of the five. Ho is a good man, an acceptable man, but we don't believe he will run. Right here we suggest that he be put up for the Senate if there should be a vacancy; i. e., if he will agree to stand for the place. A more worthy man cannot be had. We say let him bGmade our Senator, if Dr Timmerman vacates the place. Looking over the field the ques tion often occurs tous, "Where are all those who served us in the past?" They are not all dead, in any sense of the word. What is the matter with old Clint Ward? He Ferved us jfaithfully and ably for two terms. While in the Leg islature his every word and deed looked to retrenchment andreform. He was an advocate of the ideas and plans inaugurated by the la mented Mart Gary, which have been so splendidly enlarged and added to by Ben Tillman. Why not put old Clint on the slate if we must have one? He would be more acceptable by longoddB than some of those who are hoping to be slated ; and, if elected, or slated, which is the same thing, if things go as they did in '92, he will be worth something when he goes to the General Assembly. This is written in the interest of the Reform party. 'Tis intended as a note of warning. We know full well that there are those, and nota few of them, reformers, who will be certainjto vote, if they have a chance, for a good anti before they will vote for just any gutter snipe who may be foisted upon the Reform party by the would-be slate makers. Let those who love the Reform party,who have worked for the movement, be careful lest they put men on the slate who will prove a dead weight and stumbling block in the way of the further advancement of a glorious cause. REFORMER. [For the ADVERTISER. A Plea for Butler. MR. EDITOR: It ?B not presuma ble that what I may say here will be approved by all, that would be au extravagant expectation. But should I be successful m anyway in exercising an influence that will aid in returning to the United States Senate that grand and noble old warrior and statesman, Mat thew Calbraith Butler, then I will feel fully compensated for the fee ble effort. The whole of this prejudice JOT error (or what ever you may please to call it) about the grand and no ble old General as belonging to the aristocracy and having drawn large salaries, and being in the United States Senate for eighteen years, all arise from a false or mistaken idea; and all originating in the mind of Senator Butler's opponent, Gov. Tillman, for the avowed pur pose of securing the place now held by the gallant old General. My beloved countrymen 1 let me beseech you to look at the past re cord, and services rendered in times ot war as well as of peace by the old General and his family. Yeal verily, not only eighteen years in the United States Senate but au 118 would not compensate the old General for ,)ast services, for it was all done for the love of his country. Did not the General with six brothers enter the Con federate armies (none of them holding bomb proof positions) and every one of them save one was killed, wouuded, or maimed for life-anybody willing to step into their shoes then? Oh! no! The circulating of false inuendoes and insinuations against Gen. Butler, if properly inquired into, would redound to his benefit. In what respect has Gen. Butler failed to do his duty in time of war or peace? Why don't they formulate their charges and show wherein the General has ever failed to dis charge every duty imposed upon him? If a given object of grand importance such as electing a United States Senator capable of discharging the duties required of him is to be effected, no expense is unreasonable which is necessary to effect it. The most valuable talent we need in the United States Sen ate and Senator Butler has that. He is the man. My beloved coun trymen ! let me warn you. Be ware! Read the questions pro pounded by Mr. J. H. Workman, of Kinard's, a former follower of Gov. Tillman. And he inquires, "will anybody answer?" There are some 12 or 15 questions, can any reasonable minded or right, thinking man read these questions and then support Gov. Tillman for the United States Senate? In the name of heaven and for thc good of our dear old State vote for the best men from United States Senator down to coroner. I am Very respectfully, etc., ONCE A PRIVATE IN BUTLER'S BRIGADE.
