Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAN. 16,1895. LO?AI2 BREVITIES. ?0' The fighting man of the Edge field ADVERTISER may be found di rectly opposite the editorial sanctum. He wears specks. Don't rush bim 'till he can get 'em off. Easter falls on April 14th this year. As usual Valentine day is on Febru ary 14th. Idleness travels very leisurely, and poverty soon overtakes her. Don't contradict people even if you are sure you are right. Edgefield is getting up a car load of corn for the Nebraska sufferers. Send us the news from your sec tion. Mr. 0. 0. Barr has been appointed constable for Judge Luther Bell. Bead the annual statement of the Bank of Edgefield in this Issue of the ADVERTISER. For the Year 1S95 a good motto will he to cuy only that which is necessary, and if we can all do that we'll do well. During the year the two Cotton Manufacturing Companies in Aiken County paid out $92,400 in dividends. Photographs-are lower than ever in price. y B. H. MIMS. The dwelling of Eev. Thomas Leitch at Leesville, which was in course of construction, was blown down recent ly and completely demolished. The Langley Manufacturing Com pany advertises that they will pay Au gusta prices for cotton delivered at their mill, until further notice. The cotton factories in Greenville and Spartanburg counties paid out $183,500 in cash semi annual dividends on the 1st inst. The Dwight Manufacturing Com pany, of Chicopee, Mass., has closed an agreement to build a 50,000 spindle cotton factory at Gadsden, Ala. In India editors take elephants in part payment of subscriptions. In Edgefield we newspaper mei? do not need any more elephants. Corn in Barnwell County is being soldat 35 cents per bushel, but in Edgefield County 50 cents is the ruling price. Mr. Sam T. Carter, formerly of our town, is acting temporarily as clerk or private secretary of secretary of State Tompkins. Some of the public schools in this county have closed already. If so soon they are done for, what on earth were they begun for. The Rev. Mr. Pearcy, the Baptist minister at Leesville, has taken charge of the church at Wards, not giving up the Leesville pastorate, however. ?xr-J?dge OTP. Townsen?r,"?f Ben-" netts ville, has been appointed assistant attorney-general. Judge Townsend used to be a Ead, we believe. It isn't too late to sow oats, and if your oats have been injured or killed oy the freezes we would advise you to stick a few more in the ground. Talk about Edgefield men being greedy for political office when there's a Charleston man running for an of fice that hasbeeu abolished! Charles ton can't shake her gory locks at Edge field any more. Don't think that because your neigh bor will cut down the acreage for cot ton that everybody else will do like wise and that you can ptit in a full crop. The new dispensary law gives hotels the authority to sell whiskies to their guests, making them sub-dispensaries. They are, of course, put under re strictions. It has been predicted by those who have given the subject much study and observation that this will be a splendid year for fruit. Thomas S. Sease, Esq., of the New berry bar, has been appointed Master for that county. Col. Sease is an Edge field man, we believe, and he married a daughter of our county treasurer elect John C. Caughmin. The reports from various sections of the county do not indicate that small grain has been seriously injured by the late freeze. The snow that fell af ter the freeze was no doubt of great benefit Our young friend Charles R. Dobson was in town on Saturday last. ?har Jey is now in the famous shoe house of Wm. Mulherin's Son3, Augusta, where he will be delighted to shake the paw of all Edgeflald. Mr. Henry.Kearsey, who has been assistant dispenser in this county for the last year or two, has decided to go into bbsinew in Augusta. We wish for Henry a prosperous and happy life. To prevent lamp chimneys from cracking, put them into a kettie of cold water, gradually heat it till it boils, and then let it as gradually coo). Mr. Barnard B.Evans, the energetic manager of the great Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, bas re-j turned from an extensive trip north, where he went in the interest of his business. A little sleet on Saturday last with dark and lowering clouds that presaged | another blizzard, but it passed by and the bright sunshine resumed duty and 'Edgefield rejoices and pessimism nods and sleeps again. Let 'er roll. County Pensioners. Isn't it about time for the Edgefield County board of pensions to "takened liolt"? We see that the boards in the other counties have already called the .cohorts together and divided out the rations, or at least indicated the lines upon which' they would be divided. In the language of George Thurmond, "lt you're gwine to ac', ac'." ..m.II.?mimi.TT?I?H'?I '?' ' . Kev. L. E. Busby, a Lutheran mini ter who has served the good people ? Leesville and region round about f< the last sixteen years, has removed I Aashville, N. C., Our mail arrangements are execri ble, just now. Our midday train brim only the Charleston mail, not stoppin at Trenton long enough to get the C< lumbia and Augusta mails. Somebod is to blame for this business, and th: is intended as a kick. Shad have already appeared in tb Augusta market, but none will eve appear in this market. Our Vandei biltian days are over for paying 7 cents for one Ash. Sausage mea and spare ribs, and backbone ar good enough for our people. As an efficient whiskey cure it is re ported that raw tomatoes and saltar superior to the biclonde of gold reme dy. It clearly bas thc merit of cheap ness and is not hard to take. The Greenwood people are workin, to double the capacity of their cottoi mills. All the stock with the excep tion of about $5,000 is owned by peopl in the immediate vicinity. Everybody in Edgefield town know Ab. Clark, colored, but everybod; does'nt know whether he is a fool, dr; so, or a fool for the want of sense Well, here is what Ab. says for th? yearIS95. He calls it an address t< the gentiles and niggers: "Ab. Clari exires to recompense the gentiles an< j niggers is a very substantious man I have peted to you for insurmentiona Will you recompense in a very lan guage? I am no confirmance right a once is extance pint to inform you al for spectator. Ab. Clark is goin'foi superpervider for information of tb< State citizen." On last Sunday morning we wen visited by another blizzard, the sec. ond of the season, and some say coldei than th*; first. The thermometer fel. to zero and maybe below, and milk water, vegetables, meat, noses, ears etc.. were all frozen solid. It came un heralded by the weather bureau, too and we are afraid the truck farmers did not have sufficient notice to covet their things-at any rate we did not put shawls on our collards, and think of suing the Bureau for damages. The Cincinnati Enquirer tells this story to prove that the instinct of self preservation is stronger than reason : "A man on a Lake Auron steamer had the only specimen of black rattlesnake I have ever met with. It was about the size of an ordinary garter snake andas vicious as Satan. It was con fined in a strong box covered with thick plate g'ass. When any one would touch the glass with his finger the snake would strike the underside opposite the finger as quickly as a stroke of lightning. The experiment er would always jerk away as sudden ly. There was not a man on board, however muscular and free from nerv ousness, who could keep his finger to the glass when the snake would strike, although knowing that it could not possibly touch him. Strong men would try it again and again, certain ?fl?-riieir..p.b,'Iit,y to endure the test, but with the same result." An old-fashioned sea story full of interest and adventure, with a strong love motive, is begun by W. Clark Rus sell in the January Cosmopolitan. "Ouida" succeeds Froude, Goose, Lang, and other distinguished writers with an. instalment of the "Great Passions of History" series, which has been ap pearing in The Cosmopolitan. A dis cussion is aroused by Mr. Edward Bok's article on "The Young Man and The Church," which will consume tons of ink before it is settled. Just pre ceding the famous Charcot's death he prepared an article for The Cosmo politan on Pasteur, to be published af ter Pasteur's death. But Charcot has died first, and so with the consent of Charcot's executors, the article is giv en now. JTne present "Theatrical Sea son in New York" is critically consid ered by James S. Metcalfe, editor of Life, and there are stories by Tourgee, Howells, and the famous French wri ter Francois Coppee.-The Edgefield ADVERTISER and The Cosmopolitan will be sent, both one year, for $3.00; address or call at the ADVERTISER Of fice. Mules and Horses. I have just received a carload of Mules and Horses, well broke, that I offer for sale at figures to suit the times. R. M. HAYS. Jan. 16, Edgefield, S. C. Put Off the Party. The necktie party that was to have been celebrated at Modoc in commem oration of the burning of Mr. Nick Brown's house, has been postponed be cause of the fact that some of the ex pected guests have been "slapped in" j-ul while the others have vamoosed the ranch. The Bank of Edgefield. We call attention to the annual state ment, published in another column, of the condition of the bank of Edgefield at the close of business on the 31st day of December, 1894. The figures there in are sufficient evidence of the wis dom and coi servatism of the manage ment of this institution, and the cli max is clapped with $5,017.74 of undi vided profits; or in other words, divi dends to the stockholders. Edgefield has good reason to be proud of this, one of her favorite flnanGjal institu tions. Silver and Gold. Something everybody wants, some thing all can get by securing a copy of Viok's Floral Guide for 1895, a work of art, printed in 17 different tinted inks, with beautiful colored plates. Full list, with description and prices, of everything one could wish for veg etable, fruit or flower garden. Many pages of new novelties, encased in a chaste cover of silver and gold. Unu sual and astonishing oilers, such as Sweet Peas for 40 cents a pound, $300 for a name for a New Double Sweet Pea, etc. If at all interested in seeds or plants send 10 cents at once for a copy of Vick's Floral Guide, which amount may oe deducted from first or der to James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y., and learn the many bargains this firm is offering. Cheapest and Best. The Lloyds are creating- quite a racket in insurance circles in this State. They have already forced the old liue companies in Greenville and other cities in South Carolina to re duce their rates fifteen per cent, while they, the Lloyds, are writing insu rance for 10 per cent less than these reduced rates-a gain of 2c "er cent. All this talk about the LlOj not be ing responsible is the merest bosh, for one man of the Lloyd association, John W. Mackay, is able to buy Edgefleld County and everything in it, except our consciences. The Tariff R?duction a Reality. The Tariff reduction OD a great many woollen goodd went into ef fect the first of Januarj-, and we propose to be up with the times, and to give our friends the full benefit of this reduction. We have decided to sell our immense stock of gents', boys', and children's ready made clothing at a discount of 20 per cent. These good's were bought in September upon the very best terms and marked in plain figures at a low price, and now you can get 20 per cert off from the price. A suit that sold for $15 will now be $12. A sui*, that sold for $6 will now bo $4.80. This is a very plain way for our customers to see the tariff reduc tion and we hope all will give us a call at once. E. B. HART & Co. Edgefield, S. C.. Jan. lo, '95. PRIZES ON PATENTS How to Get $100 and Perhaps Make a Fortune. We secure patents and to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hun dred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who submits tous the most meritorious inventi >n during the preceding] month. We will alHO advertise the invention free of charge iu the "Natioual Recorder," a weakly newspaper, published in Washing ton, D. C., which has an extensive circulation throughout the Unitpd States and is devoted to the inter ests of inventors. NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEMS. The idea of being able to invent something strikes most people as being very difficult; this delusion the Company wishes to dispel. It is the simple things and small in ventions that make the greatest amount ofraouey, and the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such ideas are usually dis missed without thought. The sim ple inventions like the car window which could bo easily slid up and down without breaking the pas senger's back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel, are things that almost everyone sees some way of improving upon, and it is these kind of inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author. The prize we offer will be paid at the end of each month, whether the application has been acted upon by the Pat9iit Office or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his invention through us, and whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present. THE PRESS CLAIMS CO., JOHN WEDDERBURN, Gen'l Man'r. 618 F St. N. W. Waehington, D. C. P. S. The responsibility of this, coiupauj may be judged from the fact that its stock is held by abouti seventeen hundred of the leading) newspapers of the United States. Tax Assessor's Notice.

Julian Ralph, the distinguished writer and correspond ent, has been sent to the seat of war, and there joined by C. D. Weldon, the well-known American artist, trow for many years resident in Japan, who has been engaged to co-operate with Mr. Ralph in sending to HARPER'S WEEKLY exclusive information auu illustration.
