Edenfield Advertiser THOS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOH [WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14,1894. Elections were held on Tuesday in forty-one States and four Terri tories. Evans's majority over Pope was something like twenty-five thous and votes. Dr. Pope has announced his in tention of contesting the election in this State. The annual conference of the M. E. Church, South, will meet at Laurens on Nov. 19th. Senator Hill says every dog has his day, but there wer? not enough Democratic days to go round. A bill has been'introduced in the Georgia Legislature now in ses sion, to give that State a dispensary law patterned after our own. Senator Hill, of New York, says "Republicanism feeds on failures and fattens on financial distress." But Senator Hill spoke too late. So great will be the Republican majority in the next House of Representatives that it is appre hended that Tom Reed will move that body to make it unanimous. Just like Tom to do this. An order was received at Wash ington, Ga., a few days ago from a Chicago firm for fifty bushels of corn. It could not be filled, as the people of that section only raise corn for home consumption. The Constitutional Convention went through by something like three thousand majority. The votes are being tabulated to-day, Tuesday, and the exact figures cannot be given until next week. Talmage has finally severed his connection with his Brooklyn con gregation, as he says he cannot ask them to build another tabernacle for bim. He may be fireproof in the next world, *but certainly fire follows him in this world. It is significant that all of the candidates for Governor and all the candidates for Senator in this State and Georgia are for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. None of them own silver mines, but they all know what honest money is. Cotton posted men say that the Texas crop this year will be two and three-quarters or three million bales. And as much of it is made by German families who raise their own provisions and do their own work and don't have to buy fertil izers, some Christmas money will be left in the lone star State. Capt. Wm. A. Courtenay, of New berry, was in the city to-day, and when asked about the political sit uation was brief and to the point. He said that he was out of th? current of politics, but it seemed to him that the Tillman-Irby Evans combination was in absolute control, that Butler from the first never stood a ghost of a show that Pope did not amount to a row of pins, and that Charleston would never be "in it" until she ceased to do foolish things.-Charleston Sun. In speaking of the annual con test of the Calhoun Literary So ciety, which took place while he was there, Gov. Tillman spoke in the highest terms of the efforts of the young men participating. Speaking of Mr. J. S. Garris, who won the medal for oratory on his effort, "Progress and Education," he said: "They hada youngman there twenty-two years of age, a raw young fellow out of the huck leberry swamps of Colleton, who j delivered an oration which aston ished every one. It was the most polished piece of oratory I have ever listened to in this State. Pie was a winner of his medal 'hands down." The debaters' medal was won by Mr. C. M. Mauldin, and the declaimers by Mr. J. E. Leach, who spoke 'The Polish Boy.' " The answer to the question, "Why the Republicans made such sweeping victories in so many of the States?" is to be found in the simple fact that the National Democratic party lied to the peo ple. We promised tariff reform and we gave them not even a half a loaf. We promised free silver and we took away even that which they had. We promised better times and we have given them worse. We promised bread to the hungry and clothes to the naked, and we have given them stones and rags. Let it be written rt lied, And it died ! Of course we do not mean ex actly that the grand old Demo cratic party is dead, eternally dead, "but that she has an awful case of jim-jams and may go off at any COURT. Our November court is in session and will probably last three weeks or longer. Judge Benet presides with grace and dignity. This be ing his first appearance here as Judge our people were naturally anxious to see him, and we have heard nothing but golden opinions of his fairness and impartiality as a presiding officers. A very fair quality of cheese is being made at Clemson College. The editor of the Greenville News partook of it and pronounced it good. Senator Palmer, of Illinois, is greatly disappointed at Mr. Cleve land's silence in the recent cam paign. "All parties in Illinois are embarrassed by want of effective leadership," he eaid on last Friday. "Mr. Cleveland, who must be re garded by the country as possess ing many eminent qualities, has failed his party in declining to lead it in this effort to secure what was accomplished by the last Con gress. In the struggle to maintain it Mr. Cleveland's bugle blast would have been worth a great many thousand men. A jury of twelve men in George town county, where the case was tried, have awarded damages to the State against the county of Florence for the looting of the dis pensary at Timmonsville during the Darlington riot. The amount awarded is $223.75, all that was asked for by the State. There is another case of like character still pending. It is the suit of the State against the county of Florence to recover from the county damages for the destruc tion of the dispensary at Florence city. This case was continued by consent, owing to the absence of some material witnesses. When so many hitherto Demo cratic States have gone over to the Republicans our own State is to be congratulated on a sweeping victory for the party. We have not only elected the full State ticket, but every Congressman elected from this State is a Democrat. In this connection Allen W. Thur mond, of Ohio, a sou of the "old man eloquent" Allen G. Thurmond, for so long our leader in the House of Representatives, speaking of South Carolina says: "The whole country seems to have got the pot. There is but one bright spot ap parent-South Carolinastill stands Democratic." Gentleman may cry fraud ! fraud ! but there is no fraud, at least not more than in past elections, elec tions that stood the test of the courts and public sentiment. There are always frauds in elections, in deed there is fraud eveiywhere and in everything, more or less, ac cording to the exigencies and op portunities for its perpetration even in higher places than grovell ing politics. The erv of fraud, all at once, a simultaneous outburst in all the opposition papars, snacks too much of a su^pc-ed iiecessity for such a cry on the part of some body whose schemes have all play ed them false; the emoluments, the salary, the fame of it, the good-fellowship of so many years all are slipping away, going, going, gone. Ah! the sands in my bands, How they creep through my fingers * To the deep. Highwaymen in Orangelmrg-. ORANGEBURG, NOV. 10.-Since our worthy county treasurer was assassinated two attempts at night time have been mad6 to rob people on the way home. Several days ago a white man was held up and shot at in Four Holes Swamp, and now comes the report that the Messrs. Felder, two highly respected young men, were forced in this same swamp to give up ii ll their money at the point of two double-barrel shotguns pointed directly at their heads. As a mat ter of fact they yave up everything that they were in pessession of, which was $50 in bills and cur rency. The young men had pistols with them, but the sudden com mand from the thick swamp came : "Halt, throw up your hands." As they peered forward two glittering guns were pointed directly at them. They threw up their hands and the brutal, cowardly assassins came forward masked, and while one kept his gnu cocked on them the other rifled their pockets of the contents, which was the amount stated above. These young men are poor, and had sold three bales of cotton the day of the robbery. Don't fail to see our stock of Childien's Chairs. They are cheap er than ever before, at Ramsev & Bland's. A poor cook can't spoil your bread if you buy oue of Ramsey Si Bland's cook stoves. BONDS WILL BE ISSUED. A Breach Between Carlisle and Cleveland. WASHINGTON, NOV. 12.-Secre tary Carlisle this morning acknowl edges thae he expects a bond issue soon. President Cleveland ignored Sec retary Carlisle in the matter and arranged directly with a New York syndicate for the sale of the bonds. FIFTY MILLION THE ISSUE. NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-John A. Stewart, of the United States Trust company, has returned from Washington where he went to visit President Cleveland last week. The amount of the issue will be fifty millions.

Having obtained charter privi leges to operate "THE PEOPLES MUTUAL FIRE ASSOCIATION" throughout the different counties of the State of Georgia, and the State being a very large one, con taining 137 counties, have decided to sell the remainder of my terri tory at very low figures. This plan of insurance has been operated in this (Edgefield) county and throughout the Stute of South Carolina under the name of "The Farmers' Mutual Fire Association." There is no change in the plan of insurance only a slight change in the name. The price of counties range from $50 to $100 each, owing to the size of the county and the number you buy. Now all I aBk is that you find out from the treas urer of your county association how much insurance was written up in this county and multiply that by 50 cents per hundred (the amount the agent collects), and I am sure you will be convinced that you cannot find a business that will pay you near so well. I can refer you to quite a number of men now at work in Georgia if you require it. It will pay you to commuuicafe with me. J. P. MAHON, SOLE OWNEROF CHARTER, NEWBERRY, ?. C.
