Edgef ield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10,1897. LOGAL2 BREVITIES. Like Staunton we chime: "It's tax to teach, and tax tc preach ! Tax to wash, and tax to bleach ! Tax for silence and for speech Tax for all that's in tbeir reach ! Tax to. walk, and tax to ride Tax and tax on every side I Tax to toil, and tax to think; Tax to eat, and tax to drink; How they hew us with their axes! Death alone relieves from taxes!" The man dines weU who dines out of debt. Three comets are booked to appear in the heavens this year. When a little man is lifted up every body finds out that he is little. Hr:-. Lynch of Johnston, is visiting her daughter Mrs. Kate Lynch. Learning is not education. Half of all the fools in the world are educa ted.

Miss Mamie Brown of Anderson is visiting her sister Mrs. J. B. Halti wanger. Presiding elder Dickson will preach at Edgefleld on March 20th, at Har mony the day after. More rain fell during the month of Feb. 1897 than in any one month for the last four years. Gov. Ellerbe has appointed John Corley, late of Lickskillettbis county, liquor constable at Langley. Major McKinley, the advance agent of prosperity, bas arrived but he ha.3 as yet shown up ro simples. The mercantile business of Geo. T. Reid at Chappells has been closed up by the Sheriff under mortgage. Leesville has a new paper called The Leesville Lancet, To the making of many papers there is no end. The love of money is the root of all evil; but money is the root iJso of nearly all good and great enterprises. Miss Madge Graydon of Abbeville, is spending a few days in Edgefleld, at the home of her uncle, Mr. Arthur Tompkins. Miss Camilla Parker who is now a student of the Greenville Female Col lege, bas been quite sick, but has near ly re?overed. After days of mild spring weather another cold snap on Monday of this week. No ice, however, consequently DO damage done. Miss Hettie Sheppard is teaching at Liberty Hill a large and flourishing school. Miss Hettie will be very much missed in Edgefleld. *"V TU ?ev. Mr. Seid or Anderson, win . preach in our village Presbyterian church on the third Sunday in March at ll o'clock, in the a. m. Dr. W. A.

Ginne Wood has promised to bring up some shad from the river as soon as the boles in the Martintown road become passable. That is to say if they ever do. Dr. Gwaltney preached a most in structive and convincing sermon in our Baptist church on last Suuday on the subject of missions. The regular monthly missionary services were held^t night. Mr. G. 3. Yeldell of the Liberty Hill section was down last week on a visit to bis aunt, Mrs. Ida Sheppard. If ru mor speaks true he will soon sport orange blossoms. We trust he will send the ADVERTISER man a slice of cake, and also an orange if they are really from Florida. An exchange says that a fellow in a^a near by town, who couldn't spare $1 a year for a newspaper, sent fifty 2-cent stamps to a down-east Yankee to learn how to stop a horse from slobbering. He got his recipe, and he'll never forget it : "To stop a horse from slobbering, teach him to spit." The Rev. T. D. Clarke, a former pas tor of our village Baptist church, was born in that part of Scotland con tiguous to Ireland where the Scotch Irishman is the rule, r.ot the excep tion, ?c mixed and blended are the two races. Mr. Clarke used to say, speak ing of the place of his birth, that he was born in that part of Scotland which is in Ireland. Our Greenwood coum;y friends of Edgefleld nativity and locale can say they were born in that part of Greenwood which is in Edgefleld. They can say a great many other things about Edgefleld good and bad, but they will never deny their nativity. We have never met an Edgefleld man anywhere who was not proud of the Old county in which he first the light. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Day paid Edge field a visit last week. Capt.

Rankin of the last named coun ty officiating. hieles are being received by Mr. Bragg Jones from time to time. He has a heavier stook of goods, it seems to us, than ever befora. Rev, John Lake has been quite sick at his home in Edgefield, and was un able to meet his church appointments at Batesburg and elsewhere during the present week. Mr. Giles Mims has removed from Edgefield with his family to his old home near Faifa, Mr. Strong, chief en gined at the Edgefield cotton mill, has rented Mr. Mims's house. W. J. Gaines has announced his name for State Senator from Green wood county. We were under the im pression that J. Milton Gaines was to gam the senate from that county. Something every lady needs, a shoul der brace, skirt supporter and hose supporter all in one. Mrs. Woodson is also agent for fine grade of corsets, bicycle goods, children's corset-waists and suspenders. Mr. George Lewis was buried in our village cemetery on Thursday after noon last, (after services in the Bap tist church by Dr. G wal tr, ey), by the Knights of Pythias and Knights of Honor of which organizations he was a member. Pzof.J. H. Denck, the famous pi anist, will probably give a piano reci tal here for the benefit of our Baptist ohurch. Let all avail themselves', of this rare opportunity. Further no tice will be given. The next woman's prayer-meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. James Holland on Monday afternoon next at fojr o'clock. All the christian wo men of Edgefield from all denomina tions are cordially invited to attend these meetings. ?As Senator Gaines and Representa tive Yeldell both live in that portion of Edgefield which has been donated to Greenwood county, it will be neces sary for Edgefield to elect a new State Senator and new Representative some time this summer. The late legislature extended the time for paying the commutation or road tax to the first of April. We confess we do not exactly know what this means, chat the legislature should extend the time for paying this tax, and not extend the time for paying other taxes. The Baptist Courier says : **In the Legislature there are 48 Methodists, 39 Baptists, 22 Presbyterians, ll Epis copalians, 6 Associate Reformed Pres byterians, 6 Lutherans, 4 Christians, 2 Second Adventists, 1 Catholic, 1 Israelite; Baptist inclined 5, Method ist inclined 7, Presoyterian 3, Episco pal 3." 8. C. Stalnaker, of Rosa, it> a candi date for Sheriff" of Greenwood coun ty. Mr. Stalnaker's father vas Sheriff of Edgefield connty years ago, and made a good one, and we have no doubt that Chris would make Green wood an excellent officer. He has the courage of a Numidian lion, and would arrest Julius Caesar or anybody eise if it became his duty to do so, and he could find him. Miss Bessie Jones who has been vis - iting: her grand-mother Mrs. Lewis Jones in Edgefleid, has returned to her home at Ridge Spring. We are advised that quite a percentage of bottles shipped from the dispensary at Columbia to the county dispensaries are broken in transit, and that much of the li quor contained in such broken bottles is not spilled. What be comes of such unsalable liquor? Whose perquisite is it? "The roads, the roads, the awful roads." This is the cry from Edge field's Dan to Edgefleld's Beersheba. We do not believe it possible under present conditions and environments for Edgefield to have absolutely good roads, but they might be made passa ble. May the mantle of old A pp: us Claudius a3 a road builder fall on t he broad shoulders of our worthy coun ty superintendent H. Q. Talbert. Mr. Jefferson Briggs of the Cold Spring section died at his home one day last week very suddenly, it is sup posed of heart disease. His remains were interred at the family burying ground on the day after his demise, the Bev. J. P. Mealing officiating at the funeral. Mr. Triggs was the oldest brother of the old and honored family of that name, ne was a good solcher in the Confederate army and was an honest'man. Peace to his ashes. Blow thc Whistle. . Complaints have been made that trains on the Gap road do not al ways blow the whistle as they cross the Beaverdam trestle coming in and going out from the depot, the special gravamen being that, per sons travelling in vehicles are sometimes caught under or near the trestle by the trains, absolute ly without any warning; and the danger of runaways is always immiu'nt in such cases. We know Col. Fowler well enough to say that he will amend the matter of whistle blowing. Accident to F. R. Timmons. Thn following account of an ac cident to Mr. F. R. Timmons, son of Dr. F. R. Timmons, of our town, we clip from the Augusta Chronicle: "F. I\ Timmons, a prominent citizen of Ridge Springs, S. C., was quite badly hurt last night at 9:36 o'clock at the corner of Telfair aud Sixth streets, while attempting to board the out-going train on the South ern Railway. Mr. Timmons'grasp ed the left bar of tho last coacb, and as he went to put his feet on the bottom step slipped. In this position he was dragged for some distance before anyone went; to his assistance. He was afraid to let go lest he fell under the wheels, and so he received a severe bump ing. He was so affected by the accident as to become very ill and so was taken in the city hospital only a few yards away. There were nc fractures."

Lewis, died at his horne in our town on Wednesday last. Our friend and brother was a patient sufferer, and he suffered long. He was an invalid for more than a year and confined to his bed for six months and until the sum mons came. He knew that his end was near and that the shadow which soon or late falls athwart the pathways of all mankind had dark ened his for the last time. We be lieve that he was prepared to pass through tho "deep waters'' and that he has fcund rest and peace and joy and love beyond the "valley and the shadow" as he found hope and promise, cheer and. comfort here. He leaves to mourn his de parture his wife and daughter, Anna Holmes, also his sister, Mrs. Mary Reese, and two brothers, Mr. W. L. Lewis, of our town, and Mr. J. E. Lewis, of Georgia. 'Beyond time's troubled stream, Beyond the chilling waves of death's dark river, Beyond life's lowering clouds and fitful gleams, lt's dark realities and brighter dreams, A beautiful forever. AWAY FROM HOME. Tho Columbia Register has the following account, of the sudden death in Columbia of C. M. Tim merman. He was a son of J. D. Timmerman. of Ropers, and a nephew of Mr. J. A. Timmerman of our town : "Mr. C. M. Timmerman, a young man formerly of Ropers, Edgefield County, died in this city early yesterday, at Mrs. Marshall's residence on Lady street. Mr. Timmerman has been in Columbia about two weeks as agent for a book relative to the war in Cuba. He was attacked with a seemiuglly slight illness Wednesday evening, but as it did not appear serious nothing was thought of it. Early in the morning Mrs. Marshall, who had occasion to enter the room, her son being a room mate of Mr. Timmerman, discovered that the young man was breathing unatur ally heavy. She summooed Dre, Knowlton and Search, who gave ihe young man proper medical attention, but th?y found him suf fering with an acute attack of Bright's disease, which their skill ??ou?d not baffle. Mr. Timmerman was about 20 yaa^s old and is a distant relative of State Treasurer Timmerman, who notified the young man's family and made arrangements for the transporta tion of the body to Trenton yes terday. MRS. F. H. TILLMAX. Edgefield has suffered many losses and borne many sorrows of .-ate, in the sad and etert wells she has spoken to he iug citizens, for in this ? < many vicissitudes we s1 .; er again see their happy f . hear their encouraging v : "tho dead come not back . him" in this abode of sor r\e "n u.-1-3-r i-: have clouded our BUUIJ . phere of tranquil peace, been more sad than the death ox Mrs. Francis Haseltine Tillman, a Christian woman of many graces and unusual force and energy of character. She was a member of the Edgefield Baptist church, but for more than a year she has been confined to the limits of her own home, and was deprived of the privileges of the sanctuary, which were always so dear to her heart. It is a comforting thought to those who hold her memory in tender devotion, that these things are no longer denied her. She leaves one daughter surviv ing her, to whom the whole com munity extend sincere sympathy. But the sainted mother has only passed beyond the confines of our earthly vie-.on, to the realization of all, and more than all, her former hopes and longings, "for eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepar ed for them that love him." The funeral services were con ducted at the Baptist church on Friday at noon, by Rev. L. B. Gwaltney, whose touehing tribute to her memory and character, found an echo in many hearts. The floral offerings which covered her bier were a tribute to her many virtues, from a number of friends who had come within the circle of her ministrations. The near relatives of the deceas ed, are her sisters, Mrs. Newton Fair, Mrs. William Miller, Mrs. Julia Moss of Trenton, Mrs. Jordan of Florida, and. her brother Mr. 3am Roper. Why is this thus? Or Words to That Effect. I do not believe in rubbing old scabs or pouring viciiol on old Bores, but. do think far as possible the public ought to know what is going on in county affairs t'iat nothing be done in the dark and inspired by motives which the people can neither see nor ap preciate. But to be more specific : Everyone remembers the many ugly things unearthed by the grand jury of 95, some of which have been rectified and some uot. Among the many other things, were certain alleged shortages in the books of certain county officers trial justices etc. There being some doubt and dispute, the mat ter was referred to the Comptroller General or Governor (it matters not which),who agreed to send an expert up to examine the books. Mr. D. H. Wise of Aiken was chosen for the work. That was about the last heard of the matter bb the public down our wa}'. A citizen (not myself) wishing to know more about the matter, wrote t3 Gov. Ellerbe and got the following from his Private Secre tary : "Dear Sir : I am informed by the Governor that the services of Mr. D. H. Wise of Aiken had been secured to make an investi gation of lhe alleged shortages in Edgefield county, but before the work could be done the county commissioners receded frem their agreement to pay $180,00 for the work and that it ha-j never been done for the want of funds. The Complroller General makes a re port of chis in his annual report to the legislature. Very Respectfully. J. M. CASPER, Private Secretary. The shove note is self explana tory. A few very pregnant ques tions might arise in the mind, such as : why did the commission ?re make an agreement and then recede? Is the affair ever to be cleared up or is it to 6tay in the mess it is now in? I doubt not but that the commissioners can give excellent reasons for their course. Perhaps they considered it the duty of the state and not the county to pay this expert. Somote it be. But it does seem that the county might afford to make this small sacrifice rather than let matters rest where they were when the grand jury made it3 report. SEMPHRONICUS. Ratified Acts. Leaving out the appropriation bills, the tax levy and the income tax bill, the following Acts of general importance were passed and have become laws: An Act to require any insurance company or association to be pos sessed of $1,000,000 surplus, or in lieu th reof have $100,000 on de posit wi h some oflicer for the bene fit of all policyholders, or in lieu thereof to deposit with the Treasu rei of this State valid se curiiieB aggregating $10.000, said securities to be subject to any judgment against said companies, and on such securities, and pro viding a penalty for the violation of tho provisions of this Act.
