Fd afield Advertiser T/I'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 1896. Givo us a road to Greenwood, Somebody! George Evans, wake np! We set it down as a self evident truth that there will be no war with England over the Venezuela question. The game isn't worth the candle. South Carolina stands at the head of the Southern States iu cotton manufacturing, and als? in the list of factories projected and in process of building. The bill introduced by Senator Tillman, to appropriate $15,000 to the College of Newberry as com pensation for damages done its buildings by Federal troops du ring the late war, passed the Uni ted States Senate last Tuesday. Representative McLaurin has introduced a bill in Congress pro viding for a public building in Florence to cost $100,000. Senator Tillman will please fol. low suit and get a public building for Edgefield. On last Friday our House of Representatives passed a resolu tion of sympathy with the Cuban insurgents with only two dissent, ing votes; and we imagine theBe members know as much about the issues in Cuba and the respsctive rights of that Island and Spain as Hector knew about Garfield. A new movement is being inau gura'ed is this State, osteneibily against the liquor traffic. Now if this movement be directed against blind tigers and the unlawful sales .of liquors by Dispensary's to mi nors and habitual druukards or upon written ordere, it is worthy of all support. But if it be a politi cal battering ram intended to knock the stuffing out of the Dispensary law alone, it will utterly fail of its mission because it will not be honest. The Augusta Herald reports that Senator Irby was in the cloak room the party asked him something about Mr. Tillman, when with a far-away reminiscent memory smiling look, the senior senator is said to have responded: "Tillman, Tillman ; why, I can't recall any one by that name with whom I am acquainted." The Grand Jury of last-year, 1895, by its own request was con tinued over to the March teim of court now near at hand. This body, or rather the special commit tee of this body will it is presumed make a full and exhaustive report of its actings and doings to Judge Gary at the opening of the term. To say that much is expected of this commitine will simply be say ing what they themtelves have by their acts during the whole of the past year promise! to the public. Off With the Old Love. Senator Tillman is striving to make new friends as the davs go by. He has introduced several bills in the Senate in the special interest of Charleston aud other towns in the State heretofore po litically opposed to him. For 1890. Stay at home and work. Don't lose any time-it is money. Don't go in debt. Sow oats, sorghum and millet. Plant peas on all thin laud and sow it in wheat in the fall. Plant cotton on good land and work it well. Plant a good crop of corn. Have a^fjw and a pig, if no more. Pay your debts if you make any. Pay cash if you possibly can. Always try lo keep a little mon ey by you. Al way s keep a year's bread ahead. Don't buy meat-raise it. Don't .try to dress fine unless you are wealthy. Take a newspaper and read it. Vote for your family and coun try.

THE FOREIGN POLICY FAVORED BY THE NEWLY ELECTED SENATOR FROM MISSISSIPPI. Jackson, Miss., January 24-In accepting the nomination as Uni ted States Senator to-day Col. Money arraigned himself in direct opposition to Governor McLaurin on the Venezuelan controversy. AoQong other things, he said : *'As a member of the committee on for eigu affairs I have always buena conservative in our foreign policy. I hold the views of George Wash ington in his farewell address, to have no allianoes out commercial ones, and with the views of Thom as Jefferson in his eecond annual message, to avoid all entangling alliances. As a self-governing people we have found it to our profit and happiness to attend strictly tc our own business, and not to interfere in any respect with the political relations of an other country. I stand for a policy that means peace, plenty and high prices for our products; that will keep open to us the markets of the world and promote commerce and good feeling with other nations. I shall not yield to the war spirit that seems to have swept like a wave over the nation. Our people have warlike instincts andar? jeal ous of the i?aJJojut&i?*l?MJor, and can be too readily induced in their generosity to interfere in affairs when their protection is invoked. In my humble judgment the most unhappy consequence would follow a war between our country and Great Britain, the two English speaking nations. We are descend ed from them and have their blood, their language, their literature, their religion, and a:re connected by a thousand business andeocial ties. Thev are our best customers, and close relations with them will not only insure to us and them perpetual peace, as between our selves, but will also be a guarantee of peace to the world. With the United States aud Great Hritain determined upon peace, no other nation is powerful enough to make war with another if they forbid i\ Emerson on Conservatism. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay on conservatism never dreamed of the reformers and con servatives of South Carolina, but he knew all about the principle and policy of both, and heie is what he said : "The two parties which divide the state-the party of conserva tism and that of innovation-are very old and disputed the posses - - tha-"~"'*~u '--& 1 the m rpj??cient world. Tho bat ? tie of ; ? jrician and plebeian, of parent state and colony, of old i usage and accommodation to new facts, of the rich and the poor, re appears in all countries and times. The war rages not only in battle fields, in national councile and ecclesiastical synods, but^agitates everj^man's bosom with opposing advantages every hour. On rolls the old world meantime, and now one, now the other, gets the day, and still the fight renews itself as if for the first time under new names and with hot personalities." "There is always a certain mean ness in the argument of conserva tism, joined with a certain supe riority in its fact. It affirms be cause it holds. Its fingers clutch the fact, and it will not open its eyes to see a better face. The cas tle which conservatism is set to de fend is the actual state of things, good and bad. The project of inno vation is the best possible 3late of things. Of course conservatism always has the worst of the argu ment, ie always apologizing, plead ing a necessity, pleading that to change would be to deteriorate. It must saddle itself with the moun tainous load of the violence and the vice of society, must deny the possibility of good, deny ideas, and suspect and stone the prophets, while innovation is always in the right, triumphant, attacking, and sure of final success." WILFUL WILLIAMS. An EdgefieldDelegate w ho Wants Investigations.. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 21.-L. J. Williams, who seems to be of an enquiring disposition is going around with a lantern, not looking like the Greek philosopher for an honest man, but for something to investigate and refer, and so the turning on of lights goes on, a res olution to illuminate the manage ment of the Winthrop Normal school at Rock Hill by the appoint ment of an investigating commit tee to look into the affairs of that institution having been introduced by that inquisitive member to-day, as was also a concurrent resolution, which will be of interest to Assis tant Attorney General Townsend, John Duncan and others who are sitting as legislators while filling State offices, a condition of affairs which the member from Edgefield does not seem to understand. It begins to look as if this investiga ting fever is infectious and there is no telling how far it may go. Of course those whose skirts are clear will be glad to be investigated and Will court the attention of Mr. Wil liams to get investigated, will feel ignored if they are not investiga ted, and it is to be sincerely hoped that there are n>no whose skirts , are not clear for they will be haunt- , ad ty visions of Mr. Williams with Iiis lantern and a bundle of blank ? 'concurrent resolutions" ready to be filled, up, and they will dream it nights that Mr. Williams and ni committee are sitting upon ? hem tearing at their official livers.'t Mart Gary's Monument. A HANDSOME DESIGN FOB IT Now ON EXHIBITION IN THE OFFICE OF THE NEWS AND COURIER. News and Courier. Architect Devereux has sent to the News and Courier office a hand some drawing of a design for a monument to Mart Gary, "the Bald Eagle of Edgefield." The drawing is handsomely colored and shaded and is mounted in a neat frame. The design shows a Grecian Doric shaft, threej;feet. six inces in diameter, resting upon a pedestal. The column is capped and crowned by a pile of cannon balls. The whole structure is supported by a platform of granite -tepe. On the face of the pedestal is placed a bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching the shield of ?-the State in its talons, on which is inscribed the legend, "Warrior and .States man." The name of M. W. Gary is shown is raised letters cn the surbase of the pedestal. The ele vation to the top of the monument is thirty-six feet. It is contem plated to build thc whole, of fine cut granite, polishing the face of tho pedestal for inscriptions of battles in which "the Bald Eagle of Edgefield" engaged. The design is one of perfect clas sic beauty. Mr. Devereux gave a great deaf of thought and work to the production, and will offer it to bo hung in the Library of the State House. Should a monument to the Warrior Gery ever be built no handsomer or more appropriate design could be chosen than thal made by Mr. Devereux. The pic ture will be on exhibition at the News and Courier jftice foi several days. Hong's Prophecy. nj ~" The following "vision" of Joseph Hoag, in his day and generation au eminent Quaker preacher, was published in the year 1839. In view of the fulfilment of many ot' his prophecies and the present ug ly political weather all around the world it will prove interesting to people not "ignorantly superstiti ous : VISION OK JOSEPH HOAG, 1803. In the yenr 1803, in the eigth or ninth month, I was alone in tin field when I observed that tr**- S'.JII was shining, but that irs bright ness was eclipsed as by a mist. As I reflected my mind was struck in to silence the most solemn I had ever known. I said to myself, 'What can this mean?' I do not recollect ever beforeof having been sensible of such feelings. Then all at once I heard a voice from heaven saying: "This which thou sees', which dims the brigbt ; I plauted them among the people of the forest ; I maintained them, and, while they were humble, I blessed them and they became a numerous people. Bu', they have become proud and lifted up, and forgotten me who nourished them and protected them-iujthe wilder ness." The voice ceasecT'and'T lifted up my eyes aud, behold! I saw an immense panorama on the mist, in which was shown things which I knew had passed but a few months or years before, and others which I have every reason to be lieve will happen in the near and remote future. First the people appeared es if dividing in great heat. The division appeared to be gin in the churches on points of doctriue. It commenced in the Presbyterian Church and went through the various denominaiions, and in each case those who held to their ancient principles appeared sorrowful and dejected. Then the trouble appeared in what I took to be a lodge of Free masons, raging with great violence until ir set the whole panorama in an uproar. Next the trouble arose in American politics and did not cease until it produced a great civ il war and the shedding of abund ance of blood. In the course of this great strug gle slavery was annihilated and the divided States wero finally re united again. Then a monarchical power arose and took the government of the Staten. This done, they establish ed a national religion and compell ed all the people to pay tribute for its support and expense. I was amazed at beholding all this plain ly depicted on tho mists of th^ sky, and was on the point of faint ing fr Dm exhaustion when I heard the voice proclaim: "Thiq shall not always si and, but by 6uch means shall I chastise my people until they return to the faithful ness of their forefathers. What thou hast seen is that which has come and will come upon tin's land." The -vonders I saw that dav vere kept for many days as a se er- t, until it became such a burden that tor my ow . relief I have writ ten it out for the world. JOSEPH IIOAO. Cartarrh Cured.

Africar-American Gold Mining ant Trading Company, 100 BRCA DIVA Y, NEW YORK CITY. OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IT-GOLDI The principal objectai thia company are to buy, sell and operate gold ices. Perhaps you ca-uotfford to buy an entire gold mine, but you can havan interest in several valu able ones through us. Enormous fortunes ave been made in gold min lng, but never were tt ojporwunitics greater than they are to-day. The ownership of a SW ?ares of our stock may make you rich. 8ome of the wealthiest mi of to-day became so through mining. The cry ofhe whole world is for Gold ( and its value and niessity is being more fully appreciated each day. All precious mineral dlscories are practically gifts to tho people. Each pern is entitled to what he can fairly get. Why not trftr yourself through tis now 1 Splendid opportunies for sering great bargains in mines come to us constant! Our agents are re porting from the gold fields* this continent and from Africa. The companywns two promising properties in Cripple Creek. 1 propose to develop one of the most remarkablrwell-proven placer mines m the world. It has aady produced about $2,000,000 by erudo surface -irking, and ls esti mated to contain over $25,0003 in gold. Now is the time to invest v, us. Do not wait until every man, woman and ?ia ls eager to buy fed prices auvo advanced enoously. In 1887 the first shipments of gold, amounting to less than $000,000, were made from South Africa. In 1894 the production was nearly $40,000,000. It is estimated that works under way and contemplated will produce $100,000,000 per year. Less than five years ago Cripple Creek was un known as a mining camp. In 1892 it produced $200,000. It is now producing $1,000,000 per month. Two old men, tired out and almost hopeless, not .nany years since clung desperately to a small hole L< the ground which showed some traces of gold. That hole has since yielded over $2,000,000. The Idaho Mine has paid nearly $6,000,000 In dividends, thc Crown Point nearly $12,000,000, the Belcher over $15,000,000. We know of no other prominent Industry paying such large dividends on capital Invested as fully developed producing gold mines.
