EDGEFIELD, S. C., ffURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1888 I VOL. XL vin--NO. u. Hu CnAnnonilrkP. SISTER GRACES. BY MKS. M. A- KIDDER. A friend and neighbor said to me : "Of graces named, there are but three Faith, Hope, and blessed Charity." "Three more,'* I said, " there should be, friend, Three more to bless ns to the end ; May heaven to us .this trio send. "And if to listen yon'li agree, ni tell their precious names to thee : .Love,'Patience, and sweet Courtesy." Love should with Faith go hand in hand, And Patience'wait at Hope's command, While Courtesy equipped should stand AtCharity's wide open door, Ana as her ministrations pour Upon the people, go before. Yes*, Courtesy should always lead Prepare the rough soil for tho seed, And bear the cruse of oil in need When dwelling on fair Charity, i-Sftifrlnfa, my nnighW, -goum agres* Too little of sweet Courtesy. Itmoflifea better part, The ray to warm a troubled heart, The precious balm to heal tim smart It will the sternest sonl beguile ; Where dwelt a frown 'twill plant a smile, Its influence speeding many a mile. Then hail, all hail, our graces three ! Send forth their praise o'er land and sea Love, Patience, and sweet Courtesy ! The People of Georgia Show HOY/ Soon a Good Man is Forgotten by Their Laxness in Hon oring bis Memory. AUGUSTA, GA, April 9.-When the .Hte Gov. Stephens died a move ment was put on foot to purchase Liberty Hall, in which the dead statesman had spent his life, and erect upon the ground a monument to his memory. After most strenuous ef forts the amount collected thus far is only $371.95. So it is very likely the project will have to be abandon ed. What makes this apathy to ward the collection of money for such a monument more remarkable is the fact that hundreds of young men^in Georgia owe all they have to the late Governor's generosity during his life. .For the last forty years Mr. Stephens never had less than ten beneficiaries receiving education for which he fur nished the whole means. These men have gone out into the world, entered .the trade of law, many of them amassed fortunes; vb ile all of them are well to do. Notwithstanding ail, - this, when a modest sum is asked:to j comgiemo^ate tbe name_of their ben efactor most niggardly replies are , received. This sbo? e how much grat itude-this people have. The body ol the late Governor, which yet reposes in Atlanta, will be removed to Craw fordsville in a few weeks, where it will be placed beside that of his mother, whom he never saw. Mr. Stephens u?ed to tell that when a boy it was his wont to go to the grave of his mother, and, [lying upon his back the.e, he would look up into the passing clouds and endeavor to catch a glimpse of his mother's face there "Now he is to repose by her forever. Courier Journal. \ Coffin, a shroud, a Hearse. How a Greenville Nan bas Arranged for his own Funeral. From time to time reference has been made to the calmness and fore sight which R. P. Roddy, of this city, has exhibited in making preparation for a decent and respectable funeral and burial place. He is determined that his remains shall have nothing but a respectable and becoming inter ment and that his grave shall not be a simple, barreo mound of clay. The attention which he has already be stowed upon the lot in which hie re mains are to rest, has been described Now there is nothing more to be done. His coffin, his shroud and his hearse are now secured and arrange mente for a very nice funeral are completed. Mr. Roddy has been ne gotiating for some time with L. R Cline, the well known undertaker, for an outfit for a house of clay. Mr. the^rice of a cof?n. Mr. Cline told him that he could give him "a nice one" for fifty dollars. Mr. Roddy said that";was higher than he wished to pay. A fifteen dollar one was enggested, but Mr. Roddy still hesitated. He then inquired the price cf a shroud, and was informed that they ranged from five to ten dol lars. Mr. Roddy chose the five dol lar one. Then the Lire of the hearse was discussed. _Mr. Cline named ten dollars. Finally Mr. Roddy in dicated that he would pay thirty dollars for the funeral outfit--fifteen for the coffin, five for the shroud and ten for the;hearse hire. Meisrs. Ciine and Roddy went into a store on Main street to draw up the agree ment and clcse the bargain. But Mr Roddy stiil thought that his funeral expenses were too steep. He sug gested a cheaper coffin-a five dollar ene. The amendment was accepted and the sum waa reduced to twenty dollars. Then Mr. Roddy wanted ten mote dollars deducted, but he could "scale" the rates no lower and he therefore handed over the twenty dollars. Mr. Cline gave his receipt and the trade was perfected. Mr. Roddy was anxious to have Mr. Cline's services, wishing no one else to do his undertaking.-Greenville News. ______________ 'pt* Jersey bull and Jersey bull calves fir salo. [OJ O. F. CUEATHAM. Our Sister Republic. Happy Manners ia the Land of God and Liberty. Springfield Republican. ZACATECAS, MEXICO, March, 25. r Assassinationa are of not nnfreqaent occurr >nce here, and human life ie val ued lees than the "beasts which perish." ( An ex Governor of the State, General Cardonas, who has been prominent in politics for many years and figured in mers than one revolution, has lost no less than nineteen of his immediate family l y the red hand *of murder. Tbe other day an attempt was made tofessaaeinate him, his carriage being waylaid by masked men .as it was re turning to his ranch about three miles from town. It happened that the general had remained at home that day, and only his nephew, wife and sis ?er w^re in the carriage. The nephew was killed in his stead, and also the coachman, one of the shots grazing the sister's cheek. The horses were cut loose and the terror-stricken women ordered to walk home as fast as their feet could carry them, which command it is needless to say they obeyed, leaving their dead in the dus ty road. This being merely a " po litical disturbance" it attracted no particular attention, and the assas sins are still at large. Nobody thinks of riding outside of city limits, or, indeed, within them after night-fall> without being well armed and at tended. Betsey and I, with two oth er ladies, were invited to spend ye?? terday at a hacienda five miles away. The e egant barouche, drawn by B?X clipped mules, which was sent for our conveyance, contained four shining pistols in its inside pockets, for the use of the ladies in case of emergency* The coachman and footman. were equipped Vith two revolvers and a knile apiece, and two outriders ac companied us, each with gnn, sword and pistols fastened to his saddle. But soon this was not considered suf ficient, and two gentlemen on horse back, euch with his armed and mount ed servant, joined in the e6cort? mak ing quite a cavalcade, bristling with the implements of warfare, as we wom.d over the silent mountain road. O wire; to a belated dinner, it chane ed^tuat we did not return at the hour expected, and as darkness came on the friends in town fell into a wild s te. te of r anxiety, ?aneying tha.t sur mangled remains might bo some where decorating the wayside. ?s an instance of how little regard the'government has for life, let me tell you a pitiful Btory : A child was missing from a mining set tiement at the edge ol Zacatecas, and as weeks went by bringing no trace ct him, the distracted parents imag ined he had been kidnapped. There upon some thirty persons, most of them laboring men about the mines, were taken out and shot on the merest euspicion that they might know about the lost boy ! About three months afterward, somebody happened to look down into a deep hollow (proba bly an abandoned prospect hole) not many yards from the father's house, and discovered something therein which txcited his curiosity. Closer investigation revealed a email skele ton-the poor child evidently having fallen in during one of the epileptic fits, to which he was futject, and had starved to death within sight of home. I happered to be present when the little mouldy jacket and muddy shoes were brought up, amid a crowd who wept for sympathy for the mourning mother ; but nobody had a thought for the thirty vic tims-mostly fathers of families who were sacrificed in the unavailing search. AD Old Colored Woman's Expe rience in tbe Black Republic. Special Dispatch to thc Register. ATLANTA, GA.., April 12.-Maria Roues, an aged negress from Liberia, was cared for at the city prison last night. She left Alabama in 1878, with a party of seventy-six negroep, for Liberia. - Most of them died with fever, while only two have been able to get back to Am3rica. Only ten of the party survived in Liberia. For six years the old woman has been trying to save money to get back io Alabama. Negroes over there, she says, are not paid over three dollars a month for work. She says they can hardly work for the jigger flea, an insect which burrows down under the skin of the feet, lives and breeds there, and literally eats the feet up. She said many had their feet cut cn, as the fleas cannot be moved when once they burrow under the skin, making horrible sores. She had saved fifty-six dollars in B?X years, which paid her paesage to New York, leav ing a few dollars over. She left for Alabama this morning. If the Democratic party believes that the hair of a dog is good for his bite it might swallow Sammy Randall as a presidential candidate. Otherwise that is a dangerous pro ceeding. The protest of the people at Cin cinnati agiinst our criminal laws and criminal law practice is an intensified expression of popular feeling that pervades the entire country. The New Baptist Church at Lees viii*, LEESVILLE, 8. C.. April 4.-On last fourth Sunday the first regular ser vice was held in our new bnt incom> plete church house. Although the morning was unfavorable we had a good congregation. We shall never forget the brotherly kindness of Revs J. E. and Pierce Watson, the pastors? and members of the Methodist church during th2 months we worshiped.in their house. About three fourths of our church remain unceiled owing to our inability to raise funds with which to complete it. A debt of about two hnndred dollars has been created in bringing the work up to where it now rests. Without the further aid of brethren, sisters and, friends, thor ough completion will be considerably delayed. This is not desirable. We want our house complete and fur nished. Just a small amount frcm the hands of the Lord's willing work ers will do this. At the risk of incurring their dis.' pleasure, I will state that Miss Carrie Spann, Miss Lucille Spann, Miss Lydia Herlong, Miss Sue Johnson, Miss Mamie Bouknight and Miss Annie West gave ns a bell. Miss West is the only Baptist of the six. Again, a brother to day handed me a superb" ly finished pulpit Bible and hymn book given by Miss Lillian Junes, of Edgefield C. II. May the beautiful mansion in beaven. Be opened to receive these workers seven. Bro. J. G. West, Treasurer, will gladly acknowledge the receipt of all lunda intended for us.-Rev. Joab Edxoards in Baptist Coxcncr. Senator Butler Vindicated. From Southern Christian Advocate. Mr. Editor :? Your denunciation of Sanator Butler's ground of opposition to the Blair Educational Bill gave oc casion for equal surprise and regret to some of your readers. We can not Eee " betrayal of trust" in bis refusal to surrender the educational (i. e., social) interest of the mass of the people of the United States into the hands' of the party controlling the U. S. Government. There has been repeated evidence since the days of negro legislation, forced upon South Carolina by U. S. bayonets, aa to what the .result of such a surren der might l^e j and for one, I syrajpa tbize with the sentiment that the su preme question in debate was not so much one of constitutional right or policy, as of self-protection, Tue bitter sectional spirit illustrat ed by Senator Sherman, who would not trust the South to administer the fund provided by this bill, the intro duction of amendment after amend ment fixing the distribution of the fund with the U. S. Government, and the fear lest these conditions should be overlooked by men of both parties in their anxiety to secure the money, presented the whole matter in a new light. The humanity of North and South was invoked to break down space enough in the walls of constitu tional defence for the admission of this votive offering to Minerva. Who could say what use would be made ol it? Our Senator merits grateful com mendation for rising high enough to look over the immediate golden ad vantage, to the cost of enjoying it. LAICUS. The new standard time ol the rail ways has come already into almost universal use. Returns made to the secretary of the Time Convention show that of the one hundred princi pal cities of the country, exclusive of the cities on the Pacific coast, seven ty-eight have adopted railway stand ard time as their official local time. The Pacific lines, including the Un ion and Central Pacifies, ar? to adopt the standard time when their spring schedules go into effect,- and it is ex pected that the entire Pacific coast will then come'iuto the system. It has been a quiet revolution, but much more thorough than tho most san guine friends of the reform expected within so brief a time, and it is easy to see now that the towns still adher ing to the old order of things will inevitably be forced into the new system before long. Excepting in Ohio, where six sities, and in Penn sylvania, where three cities still main tain their old local time, there are not more than two cities east of the Rocky Mountains where local time different from the railway standard is now used. THE MA YOE OF HAMBURG.-An exciting election took place for Mayer of Hamburg yesterday. The contest ants were Messers. P. L. N?rnberger and Lipfield Davis.

A Case In a New York Hospital-How It Is Caused and How lt May Be Avoided. : NEW YORK, April 10.-Antonio Pisino, the young Italian who wss taken to Bellevue Hospital Monday night suffering from what was found to be trichinosis, is recovering. '' The trichinae," said Dr. Biggr, who has charge of the patient, " a>e becoming encysted and as soon as that proces?is over they will not be capa ble of doing any further harm." " How does a man get trichinosis?" the reporter asked. * From eating raw pork. Of couroe the pork most contain trichina, bnt it is just as essential that the meat should be raw, for if the meat were proper y cooked the trichinae would be killed." - " But how does the trichina} get into the pork in the first place?" " From the hogs eating the raw flesh of other animals, particularly the entrails. The process is like this. The hog devours the flesh of an ani mal containing the eggs or cysts of trichina?. When these embryos get into the stomach the process of diges tion dissolves the cysts and the living trichina; are set free." Dr. Biggs showed the repoiter a trichinae that had been removed from Pi s in o's arm, through the microscope. The worm looked to be a little more than an inch long and was curled up like the lelter "a." "The actual length of the trichinae,' said Dr. Bigge, " is about one twenty eighth an inch, and its diameter one six-hundred>b of an inch. We re moved from Pisino's arm a piece bf muscle about as large as a small pea I calculate that it contained from 400 to 500 trichina. Professor Vir chow estimated that in half a pound of ham infected with trichino'tbere were no less than 30,000,000 of the parasites." " How could trichinosis be pre vented?" . " By abstaining from eating raw or only half cooked pork. Another and perhaps better way is to have all pork examined before it is sold, as is now done in Germany. Professor Virchow said that he found tri chi ce in one out of Seventy-five American h< examined by him, while among the hogs raisedt in Germany he only found'one diseased carbasa inir,0\)?TT1 Dea*li or Au Original Edgefleid .

It is right and proper that candi dates should be presented?to their constituents upon suitable public oc casions, in order that they may see what manner of men they are ; but this promiscuous prowling around the County, invading the domestic circle for political purposes and taxing the resources cf the hospitable housewife and generous farmer,is an intoleiable nuisance which would be more hon ored in the breach than in the ob servance.

" I think," replied the father, as he looked down at the boy's big bare feet, " you had better take a dollar and buy a pair of shoes."

The foreman looked at the attorney in astonishment and rejected the filthy lucre. The-lawyer insisted on paying the dollar, when the foreman inquired why it was ten dered. When told it was for the ver diet, the foreman grew red and pale by turns and indignantly spurned the offer. The lawyer explained, the foreman rejected, the lookers-on gig gled ?*he experienced jurors were tickita at the scene, and not until the foreman was assured by his com rades of the jury that it was all right did he banish the thought that the lawyer wished to make it appear that the verdict had been bought.

LONDON, April 8.-Literary circles and the learned societies are excited over, another discovery of sundry musty scrolls of parchment contaic ing what is alleged to be the original manuscript of the Mosaics books of the Oid Testament. The scrolls ?re : said to have been found in Arabia on j the .route that the Israelites must have taken after their fl'ght from-?

Seven Thirsty Years. Twenty Men Who Pledged Themselves in Sobriety Until a Democrat ls Elected. CHICAGO, dpril 9.- The day after the decision of the Electoral Commis sion declaring R. B. Hayes President of the United States was rendered} twenty middle aged men met. before the bar of a Madison street saloon to take a drink of whiskey. It was the last drink of whiskey they were to take until a Democratic " President should be inaugurated. They had made a solemn vow to this effect, and the penalty that wan fixed for break ing it was a fiue of $10G. Ii auy fines should be collected the money was to be placed in a bank and ex pended on the inauguration of a Democratic President in fittingly celebrating the end of their period of probation. v. Thats WfW.r*avoa 7 cs ra ^id. the time ia now drawing neJr when they sanguinely hope they will be absolved from th ?ir oath. Of the twenty, two hive died, five . have pToved backsliders, four of them payiDg tber fines, and the fifth being t:o poor to do ao. Thi:- leaves thir teen of the orginal twenty and, ns far as is known, they have no: violated th?ir pledges. One of those who took the pledge is John Pearson, waiter at the Sher man House. Pearson has lost a cr.uple of fortunes, lie has been in business off and on since 1854, and is a par ticular crony* ot B. P. Hutchinson, the millionaire grain anil comm'Jiion man. " Yen," he admitted when ^pokeD to, " I ?rn one of the twenty. I have never tasted a drop of whiskey since 1870. None ol us were very herd drinkers, but we aildiani- enough to make it a terrible pi i va lion to quit so suddenly.

" When do you expecf to take a drink again ?1 " March 5, 1885," answered Pear son, unhesitatingly, " and the Presi dent will be Samuel J. Tiidpn. I don't ?Dter.d to get drunk, fer I never did, but the first glass of whiskey j will t>ste mighty good, I reckon, af I ter eight years ol ginger ale.'' Senator Butler made one good point in his speech in opposition to the Blair bill. Referring to the ns tonishing increase of cotton manu factures in the South, Geu. Butler cited the fact that during the past three years, twenty five millions of dollars have been expended for cotton machinery, and that seven million* and a half of this amount was the ad ! ditional cost causc-d by protective da? j ties. Let the General Government, j said the Senator, lift these and timi j lar burdens from great productive in jdustries, that annually increase the j ability of the State to support her j schools, and the result will be found far more profitable and acceptable than direct appropriations for educa tion from thc National Tieasnry j There is no reason, however, why j the South should not have both aid : for education, and free machinery for cotton spinning ?nd weaving.- .Yews and Couria: Mr. Tilden is one of those remark i able individuals that, the more vou i . 1 i kick them, the more kicking they can ; stand.
