Edgefield Advertiser THURSDAY, AUG, 11,1892. THos. j. ADAMS,.EDITOR RATS! Gov. Richardson has not yet found the elusive vouchers for that $1,200. The Governor's dilemma in this matter reminds us of the following Edgefield history: Some ' years ago the colored parson of one of our churches was entrusted with three hundred dollars in green-hacks, the same having been collected to build a church. Well, when the brethren and sisters got ready to build their church they called on Brother for. the three hundred dollars. He searched high and low, but nary green-back did he find, and after due and prayerful c?flKgation reported to the chu reheat "he hadwrapped that money up^keerful, tied it with a cotton string, and put it in the bottom of his ch i st, but when he went to look for it it wasn't dar." The church heard this statement, but desired to know of the brother whom he suspicioned. "Who I 'spicion? Well, to tell you the Gawd's truth, brethren, I 'spicions rats. Rats eat dem green backs up." Now, if Gov. Richardson will say that he "'spicions" rats of eat ing up his vouchers the whole State will respond "rats." A MASTER SPEECH. The speech of Mr. Mayfield, State Superintendent of Educa tion, is the ablest defence of the Tillman administration yet pub lished, and is absolutely unan swerable. It is so strong a presen tation of the actings and doings of the Tillman administration that the anti papers are scared to death, and will not publish it or any part of it. We defy any Shep pardite in the county or State to read it and answer it if he can, and the columns of the ADVER TISER are offered for that purpose. We are ablo to publish only a por tion of this masterly argument, in in this issue, but will conclude the paper next week. May fiel d's argument is irrefuta ble, read it. Read Hayfield's speech, oh ye antis, and "pull the veil over your j faces." Tillman says he "religiously < believes he will carry every county in the State, Richland and Charles-1 ton not excepted." If persistent lying can accom plish anything, jthe anti newspa-l pers will certainly work wonders for they have been persistent. The cost of running the State j Penitentiary is $1,125 per month j less under Tillman than any pre vious administration. The income from the fertilizer tax last year under Tillman was $14,249.25 more than the year be fore under Richardson. The income from the Sinking Fund Commission last year under Tillman was $11,294.47 more than for the previous year under Rich ardson. t: Mayfield has not the fire and snap and eloquence of Tillman, - but he has put all the facts and figures and logic of the antis in r the soup for all time. v 7t We invite Capt. Hamb Brooks, ]e and Tillman Denny, and Dr. Shaw, th and Jas. Callison to read Mayfield, ai and if they want, to tear him all to pieces through the columns of the - ADVERTISER they are welcome to do so. ^ "Alie well stuck to."seems tobe re the mott? of the anti papers. They *o are actually claiming two-thirds of n? the counties, when they are not ro certain of one single county in the | whole State. C( The increased enrolment of pu pils in the public schools under! Tillman is 6,419 greater than that [ of Richardson's administration, and yet the expenditure for school books are $20,000 less. Mayfield^ speech shows and proves that Richardson's adminis tration spent $24,001.71 more than tin it collected, and left %|^M0 debt T to be paid, and it waa^paid,. by wi Tillman's administrJHHBP tu Mayfield shows that Tillman, . - Btarting out with receipts $56,- th< 165.65 less than the year previous, JJ closed up the books at the end of Al the year with $13,829.30 to the J??? credit of the State, while his pre decessors came out $24,001.71 be- of hind. Any reasonable man, be he Till- m maoite, Sbeppardite, or Haskell- " ite, who will read Mayfield will come to the conclusion that Till- i man has carried out all his pledges and fulfilled all promises wherever co\ possible, and an angel couldn't do eaf any more than this. Every anti in Edgefield county ought to read Mayfield, if for no other reason, just to see how your newspapers have maligned and lied about Ben Tillman and hood winked you. Superintendent of Education Mayfield's speech,'published to day, snows a saving in every single department of the State goveru menfe-withou-t a :8mgle exception^ and a total saving of $35,000 per annum. The increase in income to the State last year under Tillman from the fertilizer tax, Secretary of State's office,Sinking Fund Com mission, and Insurance License, four minor departments of the government, aggregate $26,438.85. and the decrease in the expenso of running the government was, fon the same year, $35,428.18, showing a balance in favor of the Tillman administration of $61,867.03. Can a reasonable man ask for more evidence in favor of Tillman than this? v . A Card. MR.EDITOR: Many friends from different clubs in Edgefield county have solicited _ me to stand for nomination for legislative honors, and others express surprise be cause my. name has not been an nounced as a candidate. Permit me to say that I have not lost interest in the affairs of the county and State, and I shall ever be grateful for past honors con ferred. At the same time I stand where I stood, politically, in 1886, when I first appeared before the j people of Edgefield, and when they gave me such a flattering vote. I stand for a horizontal re duction of salaries and an aboli tion of useless offices. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for past kindness. I am respectfully, C. P. BOOZER. The Echo of a Kiss.

These ?hoes are of all grades and izes for' ladies', gents', and] hildren. We also ofter all ur Notions, Dry Goods, and "rockery at cost, less the reight. Our reasons for sell ig at cost are, first, we can s well afford to sell at cost as 3 keep them at cost ; and econdly, we propose in the ature to do only a grocery usincss, and must dispose of veryfhing we keep, except roceries, Tn order to get the tore room. These two reasons ought to atisfy the most skeptical that .e mean business. If parties rish it we will show our bills. HEATH AM & BURNETT Edgefield C. H., S. C. Announcement.
