Edsefield Advertiser TPOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, FEB. 1. Gen. Eagan has been sentenced by the court martial to dismissal from the service. There is a prospect that the Legisla ture will reduce the tag tax on fertil izers from 21 cents to 10c a ton. There is as yet no clue to the fate of the Rev. Aiken Kelly, who so myste riously disappeared in Charleston sev eral weeks ago. The legislature has sat down upon ah effort to change the color of thc State flag from sky blue to royal pur ple., .,. , ,*' The long strike of the mill opera ' tiV?s in "Augusta is over, the mill own ers-making the small concession of re duction in rent and charge for fuel.. .The Filipinos are clamoring for in dependence. If this is granted them by our government, they should be re quired to assume the responsibility for the $20.000,000 we agreed to give Spain for the Philippines. Admiral Dewey has wisely refrained from returning home, thereby enjoy ing a continuance of popular favor, distance lending effulgence to his glory. The sword; voted to him by Congress is a magnificent one of gold to cost three thousand dollars. SOMETHING ELSE. And the State Board of Control knows an insurance agent in South Carolina who received premiums on fire insurance policies amounting to eighteen thousand dollars in bogus companies, but declines to give the name of such agent. What is the mat ter with the^Board of Control, do they want to make themselves accomplices after the fact? NO S HEENAXI GIN TOLER ATED. The public desires to have an ex plicit statement from Adjutant and Inspector General Floyd of the condi tion of his office, its records, vouchers, etc., as turned over to him by his prede cessor, and that he state the farts pure and simple. It is not desired that he should characterize certain acts and doings of another as "irregularities," but let the people apply the epithets that such furnished facts warrant, The people of Edgefield gave Mr. Floyd a very handsome vote, and these same people do not desire now any sheenap lgan in this business of the Adjutant and Inspector General's office. LAW MIXED WITH BRAINS. ? George Evans's bill authorizing the county of Edgefield to borrow eighteen thousand dollars from the sinking fund commission is up-to-date states _._roansbip and financiering so far as indebtedness in fulPi^leaveehougU cash in hand t.o pay all this year's ex penses, and in the third place because it does away with the one mill annually levied for past indebtedness, and sub stitutes five-eighths of a mill, an this extinguishes- the debt of eighteen thousand dollars at the end of ten years. If Capt. Evans continues to grow in this line we predict he will never be a statesman out of a job. We publish chis bill in another column as of special interest to Edgefield people. For Overworked girls aud Feeble women, Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets are nature's greates boon. " REPRESENTATIVE W. A. STROMS' BILL.

An Interesting Experiment Being Tried In Mississippi Cotton Fields. SAID TO BE SUCCESSFUL. Cau Pick as Much Cotton as Negroes and the Expcse is Only One Third as Great-This Ex periment May Lead to a Revolution in Cotton icking. Mr. Tom G. Lane contributes the following to the Southern Cot ton Planters' Journal : . : Two years ago, at the Vicksburg fair, in the fall of 1896, as Prof. S. M. Tracey and Mr W. W. Maugnm were watching some trained monkeys perform their various tricks, Professor Tracey said to Mr. Mangum : "AH sure as you are alive, Mangum, those monkeys can be taught to pick cotton better and more cheaply than our negroes do, and perpetual fame will be the part of the man who firBt tried the experiment." ? At first Mr. Mangum was inclin ed to laugh at the idea, but the more he thought over the matter, and the more he watched the mon keys at their various tricks, the more be became convinced that there was something in it, and tho next day as he left the professor at the Carroll hotel, he said: "Well professor, I have been thinking over your suggestion of teachiug monkeys to pick cotton, and I am determined to try the thing and see if it will work, rhey have been taught to do much more difficult things than that, and L am almost sure they can be taught to pick cotton. We can't rely on the niggers muck longer, md next, fall I am going to buy 113 a doz^n monkeys and see what ;an be done." The m-xtfall. that is in Septem ber of 1897, Mr. Mangum hunted ip lb? owner aud trainer of te'n rain' ?) monkey B in New York City, md make arrangements both to )uy thc monkeys, and to get the services ol' th^ir trainer who under fund the business, and assured' \lr. Mangum-that it would be the M in pl esl thing imaginable to teach Donkeys to,pick cotton. These were placed upou one of Mr. Mnngum's Mississippi plauta ions about the middle of Septem ber of that years, and the training began. The monkeys belonged to :he race known to scientists as 3phagta)?8 Vulgaris, and the males veigh about 110 pounds and the females about 90 pounds .each. Bags were made for each monkey, vhich would hold about 25 pounds >f seed colton, and a bag placed >ver the shoulder of each, It is ihrnis.ing how rapidly the trainer aught the monkeys to pick cotton. Baskets to hold the cotton were jiaced at the errd of the rows, and ?Teaoelfeol ton',r buf tn^ey^'oul'?'a'Iso" nek more of it in a day. In less ;hau a month after the monkeys started at the work they could sick on average of 150 pounds a lay? They picked in weather in ?vhich-negroes would not pick, and picked cleaner cotton.-The cost )t' picking vas much lass, aud is jvery way they made much belter pickers than the average negro. The first experiment, although Dn a small scale, proved to Mr. Mangrum that monkeys could be used with great success as cotton pickers, su in June of 1898 he made an order for 300 monkeys of the same breed, on an exporter of monkeys from Africa, with the understanding that most of them svere to be females. About the first of September of this year the ?ew batch of monkeys arrived, and the Bervice of the old trainers was ?ngnged to train this new lot. But this was not such as an easy matter as was at first thought, for many of the hew? monkey's were still wild. But the .trainer thoroughly . understands his business, having served for along lime uuder Barnum as trainer Df monkeys. Finally with the aid of the ten old monkeys, who were of great assistance, and a great keal of punishment and rewarding, the gang were-pretty well trained by the middle of October. I have watched this experiment with greater interest than I have watched any new things in years. I have kept,m constant correspnd euce with Mr. Mangrum about this matter and about the middle of November I visited his planta tion near Smedes to see the mou keys at their work. I must admit that it was a glorious sight to see, and onethat did my beart good. The rows were filled monkeys, each une with her little cotton sack around he nezk, picking quietly ajd orderly, and without any rush orcoufusion. When they got their sacks full they would run to the end of the row, where a mau was stationed to empty them into the cotton baskets, when they would hurry back to their work monkeys seemed actually to enjoy picking. Morning Sickness, or Nausea from Pregnancy, is dispelled by Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets. VBBf Mil Parties bringing in Cotton for sale will take it to th? Cotton Mill. Mr. H. A. Smith is with the Cotton Mill now and will be glad to buy all cotton brought in ns lax baie. ST. SOUTH CAKOLi: "~ : T? OF ELGEFIELD.
