? Cotton String.
It is very funny for a cotton string
stiffened with motton suet, to prate
about a William goat's "backbone."

|Eph Bod gera, of Sbatterfleid, one day
{last week selling a two horse wagon

Allman. Epb has a plenty more to

Hext Week.
Owing tp the fact that we receive |
our daily papers on the 1 o'clock train,
we were unable to get all the Saturday
speeches in the ADVXKTISKB. Hext
week we propose to publish Gov. Shep
pard's and CoL Orr's speeches in fall
and possibly Hr. Tindaifs.
Mr. Watson's Sermon.
As varions contradictory rumors are
ourrant as to the purport, meaning,
\ and phraseology of Hr. Watson's ser
mon, delivered in oar village Baptist
church on last Sunday, we have re
quested the sermon for publication. It
will appear in these columns next
week.
The Bing-Smasher.
The Dake; of Sbatterfleid attended
the meeting on Saturday and looked
his astonishment^ as mach as to say,
"How that boy Ben has grown since
/the days I knew him in 76!" They
say the Dake is engaged writing a
novel entitled "Cine-Eyed Ben, the
Bang-Smasher.
A Fortunate Infant.
A lady on the west side bas a little
boy now two years old whom she
named John Sheppard in honor of oar
distinguished townsman. She says if
Ben Tillman beats Sheppard for Gov
ernor.she fa going to punch one of the
the little boy's eyes oat and call him
Ben Tillman. Here's another calf to
Sheppard to withdraw from the race,
for he can't save that little boy's eye.
Accidental Shooting.
Our young friend Hansom
Padgett, assistant cashier o'f the
Farmers'Bank was shot in the
hand by another young friend,
Frank Cheatham,Last Saturday.!
The wound though painful is not j
serious &&d w 1H result in no disfig
urement. Th?se young gentlemen
are friends and the shooting was
purely accidental.
So It Is.
Backbone or no backbone, there is
one thing we have to say about the old
AnvjurrisKK under its present man
' agement : yon can't persecute a man in
its dominions withe ut our feeble voice
being raised in protest; and it makes
no difference whether the party be
guilty or innocent. If guilty, you may
prosecute to conviction if you can, but
you shall not persecute.
A Safe Bet.
We will bet a goat; against a cake of
mutton .tallow that the "Ed gell eld
Shitepoke" will say in its columns
this week that Sheppard walloped Ben
Tillman on last Saturday, got him
down, gouged sand in his eyes and
made him boiler "calf rope'' three
times; abd we will make the same
offer that not one single soul in this
broad county will believe a word be
says on the subject.
Forgot to Feed.
One man came sixteen miles last
Saturday to hear'the speaking and
brought a bundle of fodder all the way
in front of him on his horse to feed
with at dinner. He got so excited and
enthused by Ben Tillman's speech that
be forgot to feed, and when be went to
aaddle np to leave found the bundle ol
fodder lying by the saddle waiting to
be carried home. He got so mad when
be saw it that be said ; "I wish to b-J
I'd never seen that damned one-eyed
Ben Tillman. Here I've got to tote
that infernal bundle of fodder all thc
way back home, or lose it !" Hind you,
he was a S he pp ar di te, and was mad
with Ben Tillman because be had in
terested bim to such a degree that bi
forgot to feed his "mar."
A Slanderous Imputation.
Gov. Sheppard in his speech at Green,
ville on Saturday night said, "we sur
vived Scott, Moses and Chamberlaii
and we could therefore survive Till
man." How here is a direct insult no
only to Til i man, but to all his follow
era in South Carolina, for if Tillman li
to be compared to Scott, Hoses, an<
Chamberlain, what better are bis fol
lowers than the followers of those in
famous scoundrels? Gov. Sheppan
with such words in bis mouth eanno
pose a* the apostle of "peace and bar
many" before the people of Edgefleli
county-there is no peace and harmon;
in such slanderous comparisons. H
spoke the words and all ocean's water*

A Fable; Jj
Once upon a time a Cotton String Lc
was dipped in s oup of melted Mutton I az
Suet. When the Mutton Suet got dry pe
the Cotton String., was stiff to that it nc
:ould stand alone, and it became ff
puffed np and proud, because with the L
dd of the Mutton Suet it could stand L
ilone. Jost then a William Goat that Lf
vras browzing near passed by. He Ich
didn't see any Sheep, although he di
smelled the Suet, but the Cotton String
iccosted the William Goat and said :
"You haven't any "Backbone." The
William Goat made no reply. He te
didn't shoot the Cotton String on the jax
Spot. He didn't swallow it whole, but to
be struck a match and applied it to the Tl
String. The Suet melted and the Cot- *?
ton. String fell to the ground, but be- K
Tore expiring exclaimed: "I didn't j ^
know that William Goat was loaded." L?
Having said which, only a Grease Spot hi
remained. The William Goat passed J tb
thence to Green Pastures and fed by ha
Quiet Waters, conscious of the fact I
that while he had "Backbone" enough !
to do him, an exhibition of it on any j]
except rare occasions waa an evidence [
of Weakness rather than Strength.

A Storm on the Coast of Calli.
hu the southern part of the desert of
Atacama a storm occurs only at inter
vals of many years. One of these rare
storms was experienced by only one per
son, Mr. Joel Phil H ps, now of Cornwall,
bat then a mule owner and copper ore
carrier, who lived in a rancho located
on an insulated rock fifteen feet above
the level of the bottom of a ravine in
which it was situated and distant from
the port of Pau de Az?car about twenty
miles. He had just arrived at his borne
an hour before sunset when a heavy
cloud appeared overhead, causing sud
den darkness. But he was soon aroused
from superfluous reflection by a shower
of hailstones of dangerous dimensions
and followed by a copious downpour of
water, which continued for about eight
hours, accompanied by loud peals of
thunder. His terror was further aroused
by the roar of flowing torrents of water
around his lonely island borne, aa the
ravine, one-half mile in width, was
now filled to a depth of twelve feet
and rolling down continuously thou
sands of huge bowlders with a pulver
izing, rumbling noise along its bed down
to the sea on each side of him.
Bewildered by the misunderstood oc
currence and unearthly din created as
the white foaming circle of water insidi
ously approached within two feet of bis
dwelling, and with faint hopes that it
would rise no higher, he ceased reflect
ing, and after enduring hours of inde
scribable mental agony, he fell exhaust
ed into a stupor, dreaming of a second
deluge. From this he was benign an tly
aroused by his famished saddle horse de
vouring the vegetable materials his hut
was constructed with, the animal having
escaped from the stable in the ravine to
the heights above and thence to his mas
ter's home for his usual breakfast. The
storm was over, and the sun was shining
brightly, as if nothing special had hap
pened; the ravine was free of water and
cleared out for another such deluge,
which probably would not again happen
for a century or two.-London Engineer.

No book has ever had such a sale in the United States as General
Grant's Memoirs. Over 650,000 copies have already gone into the
homes of the rich, but the subscription price of $7.00 has placed it
beyond the reach of people in moderate circumstances. If 650,000
people have been willing to pay $7.00 for Grant's Memoirs, there must
be a couple of million people in the United States who want 'them,
and will jump at the opportunity to buy at the low figure here offered.
We will send you General Grant's Memoirs, publishers' original
edition, best paper, cloth, green and gold binding, hitherto sold by
subscription at $7.00.
For 50 cents and absolutely a proposition such as has never been
mode in the history of book publishing. The two splendid volumes
of Grant's Memoirs, of which 650,000 copies have already been sold
not a cheap edition, but the best-for 50 cents ; provided you send
your subscription to the ADVERTISER for one year, and also a subscrip
tion of $3.00 for the Cosmopolitan Magazine, the brightest and cheap
est of the great illustrated monthlies, itself equal to the best $4.00
magazine.
If, however, you have Gront's books, the Cosmopolitan's offer
will permit you tc take instead,
Gen. Sherman's Memoirs, two volumes, sold by subscription
$5.00
Gen. Sheriden's Memoirs, two volumes sold by subscription
$6.00
Gen. McClellan's Memoirs, sold by subscription for $3.75.
Gen. R. E. Lee's Memoirs, sold by subscription for $3.75.
All of these are bound in cloth, green and gold, in uniform style
with Grant's Memoirs.
The Cosmopolitan and Edgefield ADVERTISER are sent postage pre
paid, but the postage on the book? at the rate of half cent per ounce,
must be remitted with the order: Gen. Grant's Memoirs, 96 ounces,
48 cents ; Cen. Sheriden's Memoirs, 92 ounces, 46 cents ; Gen. Sher
man's Memoirs, 84 ounces, 42 cents : Gen. McClellan's Memoirs, 52
ounces, 26 cents ; Gen. Robt. E. Lee's Memoirs, 56 ounces, 28 cents, or

Send at once $3.00 for year's subscription to the Cosmopolitan,
$1.50 for year's subscription to the ADVERTISER and 50 cents for a set
of memoirs-#5.00 in all- to which add postage on the particular set
of Memoirs selected.
Cheap Editions and reprints have been frequently offered by
periodicals as premiums to subscribers, but never before has an origi
nal subscription edition on best paper, and in cloth binding (sold ai
retail at $7.00), been reduced to fifty cents-probably less than the
cost of the binding alone-and presented to the readers of a magazine
upon receipt of fifty cents.
Such an offer will never be made again. No publisher could af
ford to make it unless he wished to present a magazine which he felt
sure had only to be introduced to retain its permanent place on the
family book tobie-a magazine just as interesting to the young boy or
girl as to the oldest grey head.
THE COSMOPOLITAN gives in a year, 1536 pages of reading by
the ablest authors in the world, with over 1300 illustrations by clever
artists, a magazine whose field is the world, and as the best test of
merit is success, its growth from 16,000 to 100,000 copies within the
past three years, best attests its worth.
If you are not acquainted with the magazine, send a postal card
to the Cosmopolitan, Madison Square, New York City, for free sample
copy.
