Edgef ield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14, 1894. LOGAb BREVITIES. "When the country gets in clover, Won't we have a jolly time? Oh, we'll toss a dollar over, and We'll spend it like a dime; You'll hear our pockets jingle in the City and the grange, And we'll get just what we Want to, with a "never mind the \ change.' " As a rule the man who takes his own time does not hesitate to take tho time of others. . The thermometer stood as low as 29 degrees above zero on Mon day morning of this week. Good men do not go astray when they stray into Ramsey & Bland's for their "hardware specialties. "If a ?nan would live well, let him fetch his last day to him and make it always his company keep er." This is fine weather for killing hogs and there are hogs to kill in Edgefield county, we are glad to say. Cotton sold at 4| cents in this market last week. It will probably go a cent lower before it touches bottom. The Sheriff of Lexington county advertises some very valuable property in this week's issue of the ADVERTISER. Last Saturday aud Sunda}' morn ings were colder than any we have had yet. Ice in exposed places was half an inch thick. Mr. B. B. Evans lost his fine thoroughbred seven month old colt, "Annie T.," on Thursday night last. She was held at $5,000. Mr. Shepperson, the great statis tician, thinks cotton will go up in the spring. Of course it will, but what good will it do then? Cotton was S cents last spring, but few farmers ! ad any to sell. While returning home from the village one day last week, our I friend F. M. Warren was thrown , from his buggy and had his leg broken in two places. At this writing he is getting along very well. The Barnwell People says that home-made flour is as much better , than the bought Western article as a violet is sweeter than a gourd '< blossom. This is another reason ' why we should make our own , wheat. We commend the example of i Hon. H. H. Townes to all who pre- ( fer th? good of their Anglo-Saxon ] brethren to the unholy pursuit of power and pelf. Mr., Townes was 1 ,_a Butler man, butJw..was not to be ' seduced into an act of folly if lot ] ; of crime by any hope of pre'er- < ment. j i Rev. Thos. Leitch, the famous evangelist, has arrived. He preach- ' ed last night in the Presbyterian I Church, will preach to-night, Wed- i nesday, in the Baptist Church, and to-morrow night in the Opera House. Mr. Marshall, the sweet singer, is with him. The various congregations of our town are uniting to make the meeting a glorious one. Mr. Leitch arrived on our noon day train on Tuesday and will preach as anoouueed. The ser vices in the Opera House will con tinue for an indefinite period, preaching in the morning and at night. The morniug services will begin at ll o'clock, and the night services at 7:30. Done With Guano. The idea is very prevalent among Edgefield county farmers that it does not pay to use guano under cotton, but it took 5 cents cotton to bring them to this way of think ing. They say now they doubt if it paid to use ic when cotton was ten cent-!, but at the present prices . there is no room for doubt. Gov. Tillman's New Home. Gov. Tillman has purchased the old homestead of the late Major Abram Jones at Trenton for six thousand dollars, part cash. He will in a few days remove thither with his family-at least as soon as possible after the inauguration .of Governor-elect Evans possibly before that time. F?ittcnui?r Hogs. One bushel of corn will produce 10 pounds of pork, from which you can easily determine whether it is better to sel! corn or pork. Careful experiments have shown the following facts in regards to feeding corn to make pork: 50 pounds of corn, fed whole and raw, makes 10 pounds of pork. 50 pounds of corn, fed ground and raw, makes 15 pounds of pork. 50 pounds of corn, fed ground and fermented, make 17 pounds of pork. 50 pounds of corn, fed cooked and fermented, makes 20 pounds of pork. Taken Up. An estray mule, whose owner can get by calling at the ADVERTISER office, proving property, and pay ing charger. Tho mule looks as if he had lived in clover once, and also as if he had run ou; from un der a "le?n" and knew it, and didn't care who owned him or got him in the future, so he got from under the "leen." He also looks as if he thought he knew as much about politics as any white man or nigger in South Carolina. He is, indeed, the most cunning and cutest mule we ever laid our mor tal eyes on. Call and get him ii he is your mule, and be in a hurry about it, for he and the rats are eating up our next year's seed corn. Weather for October. Weather Observer C. A. Long, of Trenton, sonds us the following data of the weather for the month just ended: Monthly mean temperature, 65.1 Mean max. temperature, 72.8 Mean min. temperature, 57.5 Maximum temperature, 85, date 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Activity, enthusiasm, and alertness is our motto. It is a fact well known and tacitly admitted, our prices are matchless, and any competent critic who merely glances through our stock will tell you that our Oak and Poplar suits of furniture are perfect in respect to style, workmanship, and design. These what excuse have you for buying furniture anywhere else? Then unprecedented bargains ought to harmonize with your in tensest economical thought: Five dollar Bureaus for $4.00 ; $25 Suits for $20; $10 Bureaus for $8 ; $3.00 Poplar Beds for $2; Chairs from 50c up. RAMSEY & BLAND. [For the ADVERTISER. And We Weep ip Record, and Blush to Give It In. MR. EDITOR: It is a notorious fact that a large portion of the political turmoil in our State is due to the inflammatory editorials and articles that from time to time ap pear in our leading daily papers. For the last decade the daily news paper has been the bane and curse of the land, as statements are made in them which makes Truth hide her face for shame at the tone of sincerity in which they are uttered. Let us take a casual glance at four men who have been prominent in the press of this State for the last few years. ' The first on th^ scene is A. B. Williams. The writer knew little I ibout this man till our own JaB Talbert "bowdaciously" lifted him )ff the face of the earth in a news paper controversy several years igo. Since then,we have watched his ; gyrations with interest. "AmaziD Bosh'' is an extremist, a hot-head, md to all appearances, a feather lead, so far as his influence in politics is concerned. His was me of the leading spirits in the last two Conservative conventions. There also he waB over ridden in bis efforts to bring about nomina tions. No one, however, can fail to admire Mr. Williams's pure, classical, flowing style. His Eng lish is superb. Next is Mr. Hemphill. He may be a good man, but oh, how weak ! He ?B, with the exception of the Press and Reporter's editor, the thinnest writer in the borders of our State. He fills whole columns with figures and statistics which go to prove nothing and only paz zle the reader's mind. "Old Granny" esteems herself one of the leading sheets in the Cotton Belt, but she was never worse "off." Let tho old crone croak on ; she is nothing but a prophet of evil in her dotage. The Columbia State was con ceived in Independentism, and through the fostering care of her editor, she has been loyal to hei birth. B. R. Tillman owes mee to N. G. Gonzales than say othor man for keeping the Reform movement together. His railings against the dispensary law have helped to ren der that enactment more popular every Jay. He did his utmost to widen the schism between the Irby and Bowden factions last spring, thereby bringing Tillmau ites to their sensps. Taken all in all, he is a useful man to the Re form party. He is the tool of Alex Haskell ; the exponent of an effete, run-out aristocracy, and the champion o* the shylock, tax dodging, liquor element. T. Larry Gantt is no man's friend. Claiming to represent the Reformers, he has slandered men who fought the battles of the peo ple, while he was making himself obnoxious to the farmers of Geor gia and failing generali}'. Brought into our journalistic arena by Mr. Calvo, like the viper that he is, he thrust his fangs into the breast that warmed him into life. Re pudiated by the State Alliance; sat down on in the Democratic convention, "Terribly Larrupped" is "browing his filth right and left. His stock in trade is abuse and mud-slinging, and riot and discord are his boon companions. But with all that Gantt is a forceful, scath ing writer. While the construction of his sentences is sometimes faulty and his words used vaguely, and frequently in the wrong sense, yet for a certain species of bom bastic eloquence, be is unsur passed. Speed the day when the most prominent editors of our State be men with brighter records more exalted patriotism than t' four! We want, not polil tricksters and disciples of Ai nias as journalists, but men our own genial, blithesome r. Adams, who had rather make 1 laugh than hear them cuss or Adieux. . SEMPKRONICU Wyse's Ferry, S. C. . [For the ADVEKTISI Trenton ftews.

By the President of the Unite* States of America-A Pioclama tion : The bankers of Wall Stree should gratefully render thanks giving and praise unto me, for ' have watched over them wilh kind nesB and fostering care during thi year that has passed. They shoule also with humility, faith, and J bank-check supplicate me, the big gest man on earth, for continu?e blessings. I have always beer their friend and aB long as then is any 'money in it' propose to re main so. Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland President of ?he United States, bul principally of Wall Street, dc hereby appoint and set aparl Thursday, the 29th day of Novem ber instant, as a day of thanks giving and prayer to be kept anc observed by all the people of the land; the gold-bugs to do the thinksgiving, because I have made them rich ; and the poor to do the praying, because I have robbed them of what they had, butkindlj allowed them to live. On that dav let the bankers suspend their or dinary; pastimes and hasten tc Washington bringing with them my part of the boodle which we have earned during the year, and after partaking of a State dinner, which the tax-payers have to settle for, we will visit the treasury, and if any more money can be found, we will pocket the whole she-bang. After all this has been done we will return thanks to the Grantor of every good and perfect gift that the people are such darned fools as not to see through it all. We will teach them that this is now the land of the rich and home of the slave. Witness my hand and the seal of the United States, which I have caused to be hereunto affixed. Done in the city of Washington, just as I returned from a duck hunt, on the 1st day of November, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-four; and in the disgrace of the United States one hundred and nineteenth.

Connell, a well known and respected farmer of the Ariel neigh borhood, about seven miles from Lake City, was about 6 o'clock Friday evening waylaid and killed on the public highway within half a mile of his home. When found at midnight he was quite dead and partially burned, his clothing having been fired by the charge that took hiB life. He had been at work at a neighbor's house during the day and was re turning home. The assassin, who was probably secreted in the bushes bordering the roadside where Mad ison's body was found, shot him twice. The body was not removed until after the inquest, which was held Saturday. There is no clue to the perpetra tor of V.ji dreadful dead. If suspi cion rests upon any one it is with held. Over the deed so fearful and the manner of its accomplishment so horrible, there is considerable excitement in the neighborhood. Mr. Connell left a widow and several children. Sheriffs Sale.
