Edsrefield Advertiser THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25,1895. Tbe Convention. Well the convention has not done anything as yet-except to cut off Saluda county. But big things are promised for this week and it is predicted by Gov. Evans that the constitution will be finished and the convention adjourned by jj ? the 1st of Ootober, at the outside by the 7th. The Edgefield delega tion has been most prominent and conspicuous in the debates, but the subject matter of the debates j has not been of a **ery high and lofty* character. However the froth and foam, and fuss and feathers will now give place "to sober, thoughtful, careful work, or otight to. The indications are that too much matter that should be left ' to the Legislatura will be crowded into a voluminous constitution, and, quite a number of foolish propositions have been made by Tarions members. The suffrage committee of which Senator Tillman is chairman has tho most important work to do and is ready with,- its report. If this matter of' suffrage which means or is intended to mean white snpremacy for all time, shall be 8ettlecf*8atisfactorily the conven tion could very well stop at that and adjourn for it is the only sine qua non for thiB State. Gov. Shep pard was practically the author of the rules pf procedure adopted by the-convention and their adoption almost . without discussion is a merited tribute to his. knowledge of parliamentary law and usage. * WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The only thing looking to wo man suffrage is the following of fered by Hon. D. S. Henderson of Aiken : "At any special election in the incorporated. citieB and town of this State for the purpose of bond, ing the same or for raising revenue all resident owners of property . in said cities and towns, regardless of sex, of the assessed value of $300 and who are over.21 years of age, anally alone be entitled to . vote. The production of a tax "receipt signed by the proper officer shall be conclusive evidence as to* said property qualification." The department of the executive authority through Chairman Elfird ? report? twenty sections. The^?o* ercorVterm of office is recommend. ? ed for two years. It recommends a section providing for the transmis sion of tbp returns of^ the board of canvassers by maiL Contested elec tions for governor shall be decided by the general assembly. The lieu tenant governor is to have nb vote except when there is a tie. A mern ber of congress acting as governor or lieutenant governof shall vacate his place and another shall be elec ted in his place. Ail politions of or requests for pardons shall be re ferred to a board consisting ci' the secretary of state* comptroller general and the superintendent of the penitentiary. The governor may adopt a recommendation .of said board but in case he does not he shall state his reasons tborefor to the general assembly. All offi cers in the executive department and all boards of public- institu-! tions are required to supply the governor with full information about the affairs of their depart ments when called upon. The gov ernor may call or adjourn the gen eral assembly on certain occasions He is given authority to vote a section of a general appropriation bill and leave the remainder of of the bill intact. The same State officers as are now provided for are commended with two year terms. When to Market. Upon the subject of when to market your cotton, very eminent authority gives the following ad VP:?: "If they would only market a part of it from time to time along through the winter months-if they would devote nine months to marketing, instead of four, they would get better prices for their cotton. I believe they will be able tb do this now, for they have made good grain crops and can live with out the hasty sale of their cotton. If they will practice this caution and not flood the . market with cot ton during October and November the prioe is going to be much high er than it has been for two or three or four years, in my opin ion." . er Bi CJ D( W P. tej H H* Hi Jo Ki Ca Kt w: M( Na Ro Sh Je J Ta Ge WI WI J Ta] hoi the eve ba\ Col poi peo pre: tan There is a rumor afloat that the railway companies and expr?s3 companies are about to split and that the railways will hereafter carry their own express matter and the competion will be sharp; Whereat the Rockhill Herald says : "We shall be glad to see the day wht>n such a stiffnecked concern as tho Southern Express company can be brought from its pedestal of arrogance to the plane of com petitive business. Competion soft ens many of the asperities of bu siness life." T Ora loca opei seer and th re be I Non The tion. girls affoi one girls CO-O] at cc mon poss ble c hens is al Keep Out the Weevils. It is a very simple thing to keep the weevil out of the wheat and com if you will adopt the propel preventives. On this subject the Southern Cultivator for Septem ber gives- the following: "There ?? practically but one method of de stroying insects in stored grain: and this is by the use of bisulphide of carbon. This' substance is a liquid, of a slightly vellowish tinge. If placed in an open ves sel, it evaporates readily, and the fumes are. heavier than air. In the literature of bisulphide* it is said to- be an explosive sub stance. I think the word "explo sive" is somewhat wrongly used in this connection, "inflammable" be ing more correa. It will take fire if toaohed off by a match, lighted cigar and tho like, but if a little care is taken not to bring it near any sort cf fire, there is no dan ger in its use. The method of us ing the bisulphide is. very simple, as it consists of but pouring, the substance over the top of the grain. It was formerly left m open dises to evaporate, but this is not the best mode of application. The amount to be uted will vary . ac cording to the tightness of the crib or bin in which the grain is placed. But, in general, it may be said, that it will take a pound of the bisulphide to treat firty bushels of grain if tho gram is in a tight place. If corn is to be. treated when in an open crib, the amount required will be somewhat more than this. The cost of the bisulphide de pends upon where it is obtained. At the "drug stores, it sells any where from twenty cents to a dol lar per pound. It is beet obtained direct from the manufacturer, or Bise ordered through your local druggist, with the. understanding that the purchaser is not to pay aver sixteen cents per pound. In the case of corn, the crib ?hould be filled first before the treatment, rather than several treatments after each few loads 5tc. The bisulphide being heav ier than air, sinks at once through the grain, and kills all insects with in. Fire of any sort should not be brought near unti? the odor of ihe Disulphide has passed away. Rats it times also destroy a great deal )f grain, hut the occasional use. of :he bisulphide poured into their :uns will effectually clear them )Ut." The Atlanta Exposition opened ast week under the most favorable luspices. There was a grand mill ary parade, fine speeches, music >y Gilmore's band, and the ma ihinery wes set in motion by Pres dent.Cleveland who touched the lectric button atGray Gables. The ManEing Times says : "The tmosphere in the Constitutional 'onvention had a sulphurous smell bout it last Monday when the iants [from Edgefield and the iants from Laurens and Spartan urg were swinging their clubs, lb scene in a Roman Senate can e compared to this one.

"Why in the. D-1 Don't You ?Work the Roads. . EDITOR ADVERTISER: The crope in this section have suffered very much for fain, and are materially injured. The corn -crop is only tolerable, would have been fine had there been plenty of rain in time. The cottoi: crop will be short on account of thj? drouth, but hope what is lost in cotton will be made up in price. I think the farmers are in some better condition than they were last year. They planted more corn and are raising more hogs and will have meat more plentifully at home. If cotton is cheap there is nothing to prevent a farmer from making a living at home if he manages right and sticks to work for uhe who would thrive himself must hold, to the plow or drive." By so doing he will make plenty of provisions at home and not nc ed so much money to live on. Above everything else farmers should make ther home supplies; if so, then they will 'prosper and flourish ; then we wtll have the "good old times" you boar them talk about away back before the war, but to have these times thi'y must do as much work as was done then. The main cause now that times are not better ie, people will uot work now as they then did ; loaf ing about expecting something to turn up to bring in something for nothing won't do. we must go to work and turu up something then we will get on well and do well. A portion of the public roads have not been worked very well by some of the overseers, some of thom working six and eight^days for which the}' deserve j_reat credit, while* some others pretended to work one day and other3 did not even pretend to do any! hing At cl!. The fact is some of tne township commissioners have not done th ei) ditty and ought not to have accepted the PLACES. In regard to building six and seven plank bridges across I he road, that many plank to the bridge, and charge seven and eight dollars a bridge which is entirely too much, and the commissioners ?hotild be more particular, and not pay for any such work, unless they let out the contract; there have been hundreds of dollars too much paid for such work in this county. ?Vho is commissioner on Long Cane oad from Stevens Creek to Rocky ?reek and on Cambridge road from "om pk ins .cross .roads to farmer iiValtons? Nothing scarcely*worth i. thing has been done on Long ^aneroad; it'sjvery bad. And noth ng all all that I can see has been lone on Camebridge road. There is hill near Stevens creek in a ter ible condition with two'or three [itches in the middle of where the oad was, I do not wonder at bug ies and wagons breaking down ver such places. If the commis- t ioner is not going to have this j Dad worked soon he ought to step ] own and out, and not be a stumh- f ng block in some man's way who T ould have the road worked. There t i no justice in some men workiug f ie road six and eight days and s )me others one day and some not rJ t all. Cornmhsioners should eee t lat the work and division of road e ands be better proportioned, and so where a commissioner is a 5ADHEAD that he be removed. Long may the dear old ADVERT?- S :R live and float her banner to E ie breeze. T LOOKER ON. C CLEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE. w 4 > Road Overseers and Members of Township Boards. B n< I wish to say something that ai a,y be of some bonefit to over- gs HTS. They have been appointed pi have the public roads worked ; Ci me have pretended to work, he me have worked better than has of en done before this year, some Ti ve not touched their roads yet at d they were ordered to work in mi by*the first of this mouth, ali ptember. They have not obey- Rt orders, and their orders were pr pied from the law which tells el im how to ditch and arch the fr< ids, also the law says if th?y i o^erdeers, neglect or refuse to | Hi rk they are liable to a twenty ) dollar fine. Also it says they ill not work less than six days more than twelve days. If *D: y do not work .six days, have <lu y carried out their contract? *9< w can they expect the two As rs exemption. I say if they do we do their duty as the law re- ?PC res they are not entitled'Io any mpiion at all. |tbe owl akk the township com sioncrs to Eee that each over-1 RI r does his duty-if necessary* rork twelve days, have il done hey refuse to do their duty en :e the'law. I saylt in economy ave better roads, the people de ld it, and if they did not, it is duty to have bet I er work don' he public reeds, tegret that the necessity re es mo to call your attention iity.
