S. Commissioner of Agriculture by President Cleveland. The British lost in their fight of Sunday the 22d with the Arabs, 580 man lilied and wounded.' They lost I,i3d0 camels and are very seriously crippled for transportation. The Arabs lcat 3,000, including 34 women dress ed as men and armed. Diplomatic and Consular Appoint' ments. Next week we will lay before onr readers a list of the diplomatic and consular appoints made by President Cleveland since he entered into office -with short sketches of the men who are lo fill the most important missions (irani Taking Ked Clover. Gen. Grant's condition varies from day to day. He is anxious for the weather to be good enough to allow .bim to ride out regularly, and believes when hs can do that he will recuper ate. His physicians are now using a decoction of red clover on the cancer. They have, no faith in it, but say it can do no harm. The family urged its use. The Primary Plan Tor Filling the Clerk's Office. V?ry evidently the sentiment of j our county ie in favor of a primary election tc choose a man who shall be Clerk :of Court, provided such ac tion is in accord pith our Democratic Constitution, which some of our lead ing citizens' think is extremely doubt ^idl. """Before us at this moment lies a demand, signed by fifteen of the most prominent and thinking members of our County Executive Committee, considerably more than a quorum, that Chairman Bettie "call at as ear? ly a day as practicable a meeting of J the Executive Committee, to con sider the expediency of ordering a Primary. Election for selecting a nom inee of the party for Clerk i f Court." Chairman Bettie being absent, Vice Chairman G. W. Tomer acts in his stead, and calls the Executive Com mittee to meet on Monday next. We publish the call in another column. Aud we will haye a Primary. And it will be for the nest. There is noth ing 60 thoroughly and honestly Dem ocratic as a primary election. Fur Coming Municipal Election election ft) beheld in ourmunicipality on Monday the 13th for an Intendant and four Wardens. Thus far we have heard no whisper of a ticket o?* tick ets, and we are inclined to think there will be hut one. The contrast be tween this period and this matter and the same period and matter last year, is very wonderful. A year ago party spirit ran to its highest pitch. Now not a syllable is heard in regard to prohibition, not a syllable in regard to whiskey. And the mean i og of this silence can only be that a great ma jority have become convinced that human nature cannot be controlled by statutes pr ordinances, and that the undoubted and infinite evils of whiskey drinking are not obliterated or materially lessened by our attempts at prohibition. This time let us all centre upon OD and the same set of good men as our Intendant and Wardens. And in j God's name let not our good men re i fu3e to serve. And when elected, let these good men conscientiously mak the very best of any and all evils j that may exist in our midst. ? Ominous News from Europe? The European news is very omi nous. ? There is no improvement in the Anglo-Russian relations, and it seems certain that the two countries are on the verge of a great conflict. Russia -wishes Mr. Gladstone to say if England has supplied the Emir of j Afghanistan with arms and ammuni tion. The general officers and chiefs held a consultation of war in St. Pe tersburg last week, and they urged an-immediate advance upon Herat, the capital of Afghanistan. This of | course means war. Ia the meantime Bismarck offers to act as mediator. But in London there is far greater I excitement than in St. Petersburg, | < and scarcely a nope that war will be averted. The feeling is intensa, and the Queen is so anxious that her Gov ernment should take steps to uphold British rights in the East that she bas ordered cut both the Reserves and the Militia of the kingdom. Prepa rations for war have begun in earn est; and terrible will be the conflict. The relations between England and Germany are still friendly. Mr. Glad stone said lately in the House of Com mons: "If Germany became a colonizing power he would only say godspeed to her. He hoped that she would be come England's partner and rally in the work of civilizing the world. This was the spirit in which he viewed the matter, and, regardless of this or that dispatch, Germany wonld have the best and heartiest wishes of the Eog lisfr'Gbve&mfent and every encour agement which it was in their power to give." Words of praise, indeed, are almost as necessary to warm -i child into a genial life as acts of kindness aud affection; judicious praise is to chil dren what the sun is to flowers. Oar Ballroad-Tax Petitions. These petitions are being actively circulated in the Townships interest ed, by friends of the Railroad ; and, so far as we are able tri learn, they are being signed 'with considerable unanimity. We know this to be the case in Pickens and Wise ; and as for Trenton, she is a brave and wise unit in support of the great enterprise. From Moss, Blocker and Hibler we have no very explicit information on the point in question, but we hope and believe the requisite majorities will be secured.-- And-we-hope-also^ that none of our people may be dis couraged by the present inimical atti tude of Abbeville, whom, a month ago, we regarded aa the great leader in this enterprise. Or perhaps we might more safely say the inimical attitude of two of the Abbeville pa pers, the Press and Banner "arid the Medium-able and conscientious jour nals, and honest beyci a doubt in their convictions. The third Abbe ville paper, the Messenger, equally able, honest and conscientious, is out spokenly in favor of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap r.nC Chicsgo Rail road. The Messenger is conducted, in an important degree, by an Edge field man-Capt. M. L. Bonham. The Abbeville opposition, in a nutshell, we are inclined to think, is that Ab beville despairs of seeing this Road pushed across the mountains at any early day, and consequently is no longer particularly interested in this end of it. At ali events, let Edgefield vote | her $53,000, and it can and will bet made splendidly available for her m'| terest. ? We earnestly hope the -petitions will all'be brought in by next Mon day afternoon, so that, if necessary, the County Commissioners can take action at their monthly meeting on Tuesday. The McCormick "Advance." We are glad to welcome and place upon our exchange list the first num ber of the new paper just begun at McCormick, on our Western border.

George Washington and Pamela Cu ningham, - From the Washington correspond ence of the Boston Home Journal, we take the following, which in relation to all its characters, is extremely; we1", said. Our readers will remember that the noble and gifted woman who rescued the home and tomb of Wash-* ington from oblivion, was Pamela Cuningham, of South Carolina : . r The oration of the Hon. Robert G. Winthrop upon the life and charat?V ter of the Father of his Country,vread at thji dedica?ioncrf^yasd??frton ^iw^nt^s^^-TTi " /.^^f^^^'^^r^T^^vpT? - ?. -, easterly one, and adds another gem 0 the literature of the nation. Thc ionstant rounds of applause testified 0 its eloquence. It was listened t?L vi th proiound attention by the grav.e ind the gay assembled to do honor to" be great occasion. And as an ex.-' tm pie of the exceeding courtliness^ ind high-bred dignity of Mr. Tsai. ?wok Ching, the acting Chinese"] ninister, I must state the incident" hat although he does not understand mr language, be appeared so utterrV] ibsorbed in the subject that he never iven moved his eyes from Mr. Long" is he delivered the almost, inspired^ iddress of the honored son 0! Massa musette, or from Mr. Daniel, whose graceful manner, poetic and intellec ual face, and ringing sentences, com >elled the attention of tb<- brilliant ludience. 1 was struck with surprise that l?ither orator made any reference to ,he fact that since the commencement >f the monument the-home and tomb )f Washington had been rescued from ?omparative oblivion, and made a laiional Mecca, owing to the loving nspiratiou of a woman, and which -/as in itself as great, if not a greater undertaking than the construction of me shaft that towers ovei the city ;hai bears his name. Her pure spirit, ie hie, has entered into the larger life, ind she is beyond even the knowledge ;hat few nameB io America will be remembered more reverently than hers ! Washington filled her ideal of doman sublimity of character; and the suffering, weary hours of her in validism seemed lifted during the Lime she used her pen and energy to larry on the noble work ! How fan We Expect Any Improve ment? What has become of our County Agricultural Society ? It did not meet on last salesday.? Has it already :ailen through? Read this from the Augusta correspondent of the News md Courier, and take fresh courage : Some years ago an Agricultural so ciety was organized in Richmond County. It'enjoyed a precarious ex istence with occasional manifes ations sf activity, but was in a fair way to -?0 to pieces when several energetic {gentlemen took hold of it and infused new life into it. "How can we expect my improvement in our farming methods," said they, "if we don't come together once in a while and dis cuss the matter in the light of our own experience and that of others ?" The society, thus rejuvenated, has been a source of much pleasure and Erofit to the farmers of the county, t has been noted that there is a de cided improvement in agriculture. Progressive ideas have been adopted and there is more goaheadativenesB about everybody. The adoption of the Stock law was the direct reBult of the revival of this socie'y.. Some people in the "piney woods" abused the society roundly for the part it took in the matter, but they will soon aee that the society was right and they were wrong. The society has recently purchased a tract of land near Augusta, on which it proposes to build a pretty club-house where it can hold ita meetings and give its fortnightly dinners. It is growing in Btrength and popularity and will be a great thing for Richmond County. Subscribe to the ADYERTISEB. For the Advertiser. Whose Fault Is It? MESSBL EDITOES : Somebody fault, and I ask the question : WI it ? Let us see. On the 13th da Octobeiy.lSS-i, I paid my tax and A receipt,"'said receipt signed by Mitchell. About the 1st of Ma I had word sent me by Capt. J Butler that he ? had an execu against me for tares. Knowing I paid them, and had receipts, I ? myself no trouble, thinking probi the Captain only meant to joke i ilifchlfl ? : hitit 'Bflfc ia3ii??w the 13t youDg gentleman came to see mi inform me that I had not paid taxes. Well, I must say this did make me feel any better ; and to i vince the young gentleman that I paid my taxes, ? showed him my ceipts ; and sure enough I had j them, and my receipts were sig by James Mitchell. On the same plantation, and v the same result, came an execu against a colored man ; and one aga a renter on an adjoining place. W the man who owns the land paid own tax, he paid the taxes of his r< era, with the exception of an old I ored man; and the reason he did pay his was because neither the f colored man's name nor prope could bo found on the Treasur book. It seems, however, that al awhile, with spectacles on, he foi the old man's name, and out he se an.execuLion ; and instead of one t lar and a few cents, the old fell ! had to pay something over three c lars. NoW; Messrs. Editors, theri a bose screw somewhere. Every bc ought to pay their taxep, but ai they hav? paid them, they should c tainly be let alone, for it is not pie nut to have executions sentoutngai one, even if the said executions i worthless papera. So much for the executions agai inen who have paid taxes. Hut wi abont it ii oue should happen to li or mispfcice his receipt and have pay the second time? Where di the money go ? For, if I understa .?night, there are so many dollars t to be raid by Edgefield County, a any overplus must go intosomebod pocket. If I sm not mistaken, on t tax book there in a little piece of j per called, I believe, a Blub, just the right or left of where the recei is torn from, on.which is the tax p* ers name and the amount of his ti and date of payment. Now, Meas Editor?, maybe there was my mista) I forgot to tell the Tiitaaurer to I up that little stub. Or does he ha it to do without being told? If does, the. fault is not mine ; and when I go to pay my tax, my nai cannot be found on the books, is right to add a penalty ? Why r .add the name, take the money, and ?the government does not need it, wi treat your friends on it, or do as y please with it. But there is still another queati I wish io ask. Ia it right for the m who IjMM?CbC fajse executions, Ose their tirhe and get no pay for it It does seem to as big an ignoramu as I sm that they ought to have pa; for every mile they may have necee sarily ridden, whether the execution are any account or not. They do no know the good from the bad ones and must lee all against whom the; may have executions. So it is plain ly not the ia ul t ot the man who ha the executions placed in his hands. A.lew years back, no-one though ?trange, or expected anything better but times have changed eomehow o: Other, and we look for better thingi from our public men. But for fear '. have already trespassed too much up on your space, which perhaps migh hive been filled with something o more importance, I will say : Mr Treasurer, fill up those stubs, and lei the horses rest when the ground if too wet to plough, and not have cer tain men with a pocket full of useless papers riding around over the couu try for naught, and certain others every few days hunting their tax re ceipts. See to it that everybody pays their taxes; and that all who pay, get receipts. And by all means, fill up those stubs. Respectfully submitted. SHANGHAI. For the Advertiser. Men, Women and Things in 1 holy. MESSRS. EDITORS: Time with un relenting wings Hies rapidly by, and brings to mind a previous promise to write to yon again "when the clouds roll by." .. The " Chotarians" are ex erting.themselves most strenuously to keep abreast of the outside world. Preparations for a fine crop are being pushed with great vim. Some have finished planting corn, while others have planted full crops of guano. Mr. Curry has been round with his land levels, and has established an efficient agent here-Mr. M. Timmer man. Mr. Timmerman expects to travel at an early date, to gather in the eurpJuB cash which the farmeis of EJgefield have-or have not. Three prominent "Chotariano'' "struck out" for the Exposition in January. After getting 8 or 10 . iles from Augusta, one of them looked out of the window and, behold ! he saw the " Exposition." (Winn's gin factory.) "Tuck," Bays he, "git ready to gi.t out ; we is moat there. I-see the smoke curling out of the chimbly; and a mighty big one it ie." They spent some days at this Exposi tion, had a rousing good time, and brought home some old gin saws and otber relicB of the mighty show. Choty's happiness is sadly curtailed by the departure of Miss Carrie Wil son, who is spouding awhile in Au gusta, and Mies Alice Whatley, who has been here several weeks on a vis it to her uncles. " Be still sad heart and cease repining !" Another and, I lear, a permanent departure, has taken place, Br. Garrett and hie esti-, mable family having seen fit to make their home in fa'r and flowery John ston. In {?is matter Johnston has got the better of us tremendously ; but remember we claim a great deal yst. The Edgefield Rangers met at ?Whatley's Store on Saturday the 14 th. There not being a full attendance, another meeting, and another egg eat. ing, at the eame place, is urged, on the first Saturday in April, as there is business of importance to be trans acted and reacted. I. believe-it ip generally conceded that the Rangers are the best tilters in South O?V?l?na; and why should they not accept an invitation to Savannah in April, win the "boss" prize, and prove that the world cannot beat them? So be it? RIP VAN WINKLE. There is a wide-spread and serious prevalence of disorders of the kidneys; and of various diseases caused by the imperfect operation of the kidneys and liver. According to Roberta, Thompson, and other recognized au thorities, kidney disorders are very common, but the obscurity of their positive aymptoma is so marked that many people, ill and out of sorts gen erally, are really victims of kidney complaint, and they and their physi cian do not realize it. Rheumatic pains, irregular appetite, frequent headache, chills and fever, "blues," hot and dry skin, sour stomach, dys pepeia, irregular action ol the bowels, nervous irritability, muscular Bore^ ness, cramps, languor, impairment o$ memory, loss of virility, are among the preliminary evidences of comiug kidney and liver derangements. AH,, thc disease develops then follow lame; back, swelling an Ides, pale face, scald- j ing sensations, the water sometimes being very light and abundant, at others scarce, dark colored and frothy, and abounding in sediment, and, un- j der the mic roscope, in albumen and j tube casts. If tbe deranged kidneys are not promptly attended to there ia danger of the terrible Bright's Dis-J ease-hitherto considered incurable,' which is a consumption or destruction, of the kidneys-the near approach of which alarming disorder should, awaken the liveliest,.concern, for it? soon buri ?es one into the grave unless! promptly checked. Disordered kidneys have the un- ! fortunate effect also of weakening the ? vigor of the liver, as indicated if one haB, besides the above symptoms, yel low spotted skin, fatcoveredey? balls,! frontal headache after eating, burn-j ing and itchingukin, cold extremities, hot head, bad circulation of: blood, sick headache, nausea, light colored evacuations, constipation, piles, varia ble appetite and feelings, diz/.ine&V blurred eyesight, liver cough, ague, chills, fevers, wakelulness at uight, drowsiness by day, etc. Thene are some of the commoner symptoms as laid down by leading medical authorities, and with them n view one ought not to 'have much, trouble in ascertaining if he is suf fering from disorders of these great organs. These observations have been called foi th hy a double column article which appears in another place' in this paper. Skeptical of some of the statements made therein, and at other times by the same persons, we have been led to make a little study of th? matter ourselves, with the above rei suit. These diseases prevail amongst] young and old everywhere, re.-ultin( in i tp.rrihlflH.aQd u? they take on more people than epi demies; physicians report death asj occurring from such diseases as apo 1 plexy, convulsions, heart disease, pneu monia, fevers, etc , when in reality these disorders are often secondary tc' Bright's disease and would seldom, occur were the kidneys in healthy* working condition. Hence, from per sonal knowledge, or lrom the trust worthy experience of other competent} judges, we believe there is no prepara?, lion equal to the remedy that is so prominently mentioned elsewhere in this issue, for preventing and curiug the dangerous disorders of which we have written. It has hal an extra ordinary sale, is everywhere com mended, the record of its work seems indisputable, its manufacturers are reputed to be men of the highest standing. We hold, therefore, that not lo use it, if needed, would be a crime against oue'asnpremest intereste, especially at this time when, threat ened by a fearful epidemic, it is of the highest importance, according to Dr. Koch, the celebrated German cholera specialist, that we keep the kidneys, liver and digestive organs in healthy action, if the scourge w?uld be escaped. The Monitor Suggests a Primary Election. Aa the office of Clerk of Court, now vacant through the death ot Gen. Nicholson, ia an elective office and has yet to run nearly the full term of four years, if appointment by the Governor in not already made, would it not be well to give the people a voice in the selection of a candidate and nominate by a primary election ? There is no ci use for haste in the mat ter, as the duties of thc office during the vacancy, devolve on the Judge of Probate, whose name is a guarantee that the interests of the office and the people will suffer no detriment while under his charge. Wt! throw out the suggestion, and if not too late we hope the Governor will take the mat ter into consideration. And, really, it ought not to be made the duty ol the Governor to fill an office that is elective, hy appointment, where the term to be filled exceeds a period ol one year. The right to choose the officer should revert to the people, where it properly belongs. In the absence ol this right the next beBt way is to nominate by primary. Monitor. Commissioner or Railroads and Agriculture. On Friday last, the President nomi nated General Joseph E. Johnston to j be Commiaaioner of Railroads, and Normac J. Coleman, of Missouri, to be Commissioner of Agriculture; Judge McCue, of Broooklyn, to be Solicitor of the Treasury.
