Edffefield Advertiser THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 5,1894. The State Sunday School Con vention is in session in Union this week. Crops of all descriptions and even trees are dying from the effects of the drought in Ohio. The State Alliance of Georgia has disbanded and gone out of busi ness. The reason given for this is, "too much politics." The Populist candidate for Gov ernor of Arkansas is rendered in eligible to office by his failure to pay a poll tax, in which regard he is three years delinquent. Judge Izlar says the Washington correspondent of the News and Courier, is going to run on the in dependent ticket for re-election to Congress from the 7th district. Gen. Butler has no more idea of bringing the negro into politics in this State than he has of flying. You may set this down in the bool; of your remembrance as the truth. It is best that the Conservative papers should squelch all this non sensical talk about getting the ne gro vot9 iu the November elections. The Reform papers ought to allow them that privilege. Terrible forest fires swept por tions of Michigan and Wisconsin on Sunday and Monday of this week. It is estimated that five hundred lives were lost, and seven million dollars of property. The Democratic State conven tions of Indiana, Arkansas, Ten nessee, Florida, and Texas have all recently endorsed President Cleve land. Ex-Senator Reagan, of Texas, an anti-Cleveland man, was defeated for the Democratic nomination fer Governor. The Supreme Court of this State has consented to hold an extra ses sion, and to hear thereat the dis pensar}- cases. The lawyers on both sides have agreed that these cases should be so heard, other wise the Court would, at a special session, have no right to decide the questions involved. Sam Jones says "the trouble with the Populist party is that it can't deliver the goods. The rank and file of the party are clever fellows, but the Democratic party oan run a mile whil6 they are putting on their boots, and they will have the rabbit twisted out of the hole be fore the Populist dogs are on the ground." The Pickens Journal of last week says: "The prediction that the Third party would control the primary election in this county did not come true. Sympathy and personal popularity were the ruling factors. Those candidates having Third party proclivities got as badly left in some instances as any others." It is generally talked in politi cal circles in this State, Columbia being the fountain head, that Bourke Cochran, of New York, and Senator Gordan and Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, will soon take the stump in this State and make speeches in favor of Gen. Butler for the United States Senate as against Tillman. The Attorney General of the State and thc city of Aiken have agreed to take Judge Aldrich's de cision and make a test case of the dispensary law before the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice has been requested to call an extra session of the Court and he will probably do so in a day or two. The point in the case has already betn filed with the Clork of the Court, and an early decision is expected. A Georgia exchange, after a care ful perusal of the tariff bill, says 1 there are some people whom you like better the better you know .them. So it is with the Senate ( tariff bill. The better you get ac quainted with its features the bet ter you will like it. It puts cotton bagging on the free list and re duces tho tariff on all the neces saries of life. It will save millions annually to the men who carry < their dinner in a tin pan. Many letters having been ?e teived by the New York Cotton Ex change both for and against the use of sugar bag cloth for baling cotton, the board of managers, after a full discussion of the mat ter, have passed the following reso lution: Resolved, That many of the in quiries having been received by I the New York Cotton Exchange as to whether or not the use of what is known as sugar bag cloth in covering cotton is contrary to the i rules of the exchange, the secre- i tary be instructed to advise the j >outhern exchanges and others in erested in this matter of the fact hat cotton covered by such bag ;ing constitutes a good delivery. A most ridiculous story comes to 18 from Columbia that Attorney j General Buchanan has decided! .hat there is no vacancy in the State Senate from Ed ge field county, that Dr. Timmerman could not re sign, because being himself presi dent of the Senate there waB no body to whom he could resign. We cannot believe the Attorney Gen eral has given any such opinion, an opinion that almost usurps the functions of the Almighty. He might as well decide that the presi dent of the State Senate could not die, because forsooth there would be nobody io order an election to succeed him. The officer who re signs an elective office gives back the charge to those who gave it to him, the people, and in the case of a State Senator, the president of the Senate ie simply the custodian of the resignation paper, and j whether he be in esse or not in esse does not affect the gist of the matter at all, which is the fact of | the resignation. But let 'er roll THE OFFICIAL COUNT.

Please allow us space in your paper for the following : To Col. W. H. Folk : We, and our name is legion, want you to ?un for the State Sen ate. Col. Watson is a good man, a Christian gentleman, a good neighbor, and withal a most public spirited citizen. But we, like the great poet who never married be cause he couldn't get the one he loved, but lived and died in single blessedness, if we cannot get the Senator we want will pine awr-y and go up the spout like the veiled prophet of Korahsan. Yet while we live will we hope. When we read the pieces of "Saluda," "Plum Branch," "Lib erty Hill," and others endorsed by so many townships, we could but re-echo their sentiments. Why could Col. Folk not, even at this stage of the game, like the north eastern Moon rise and let his light shine? His house, his grounds, his build ings, his all have the appearance of a Roman Senator of the days in which Rome eat upon her seven hills and frcm her throne of beauty ruled the worldj and when even to be a Roman was greater than a King.

EDITOR: Allow me space in your columns to express my thanks to those who gave me their support in the recent primary, and to the .people of the county generally for the kind and considerate treatment I received at their hands through out the entire campaign. My pur pose and effort in the contest was to make an opeD, fair, broad, and manly fight. How far I succeeded in this ?I leave to the good people of the county to say. It would be idle to speculate as to my chances for election had a full vote been cast. I have been defeated and ac cept the result with ill-feeling to no man. It is hardly necessray for me to add that the nominees will receive my support. S. McG. SIMKINS. ___i [For the ADVERTISER. A Card. j This is to certifv that.
