. <6 Edgefield Advertiser Heaviest itaiu. ' The heaviest rain of the season in this bailiwick, fell about sunrise ou Tuesday morning of this week. Another Building. Mr. John Schumpert has purchased a lot in South Edge field next to Mr. Joe Ouzts's place, upon which he proposes to erect a dwelling this fall or early next spring. Gone North. Messrs. Alvin and Edgar Hirt left our town for New Y?rk on last Friday. They went North for the purpose of buying a stock of fall and winter goods for their two stores, . Family Jars. Two merchants in our town have sold during the present season 3,000 fruit jars and have ordered another car load. Of course, they advertised the jars in the ADVERTISER. New Members. The revival meeting at onr new Methodist church., conducted by Rev. A. B. Watson, resulted in the following accessions: Miss Jannie and Maggie Fraser, Miss Julia Ouzts, and Mr. Livingston! Awful Wicked. The anti newspapers and orators said it was awful wicked in Till man to 'say aught against the judiciary; but they are sailing into Judge Norton all the same because he decided the State printing case in favor of Tillman. Stevens Creek Meeting. The protracted meeting which was to have commenced -at Little Stevens Creek Church last week, has been postponed until after the election. Mr. Rooke, the pastor of that church, thinks that politics and religion are not very closely related, and, therefore, should not be brought together except when absolutely necessary. Dr. Whatley's Goobers. A- friend writes us as follows : "Will you kindly republish a piece of poetry which appeared in the columns of the ADVERTISER a few years ago entitled 'Dr. Whatley's Goobers.' By this you will oblige more than one of your readers." We regret that we are unable to comply with the request of our fair friend. When our files were destroyed in the holocaust of Jan. 21, everything went, "Dr. What ley's Goobers" and all. Last Meeting. The Conservative Executive Committee meets at Edgefield on Sati rday next, the 27th inst. See Chairman Allen's notice in an other column. As this is only three days before the funeral, which takes place on the 30th, it is held no doubt for the purpose of ar ranging for the obsequies, but badinage aside. Our brethren have gone astray,' but let us not mock at their calamity. "We shall know each other better, When the mists have rolled away." Ice Cream Festival. On the night of the 6th of Sep tember proximo, the ladies of our village Missionary Society will have an ice cream festival in the grounds in front of Mr. J. L. Addi son's spacious mansion. It is hoped, and the ladies entreat, that there may bea iarge attendance. One of the attractive features of the occasion will be the presence of the Queen of Night dressed in her most elaborate attire, that is to say if it isn't cloudy, for this fair dame never ventures out in cloudy weather. Due West Female College. We call'especial attention to the advertisement of this celebrated institution which appears in our columns this week. Parents and guardians having girls to educate can find no better college in or out of the State to which to send them than the Due West Female College. During the last year, young ladies to the number of one hundred and eighty-nine were in attendance. The faculty? is composed of ton professors of varied gifts and at tainments. There is also a pre paratory department to which children may be sent and fitted for the college curriculum. The total expenses, including board, room furnished, fuel, and washing is $120 for the college year. Personal Mention. Dr. Frank Butler, U. S.

Tl'KN KR & Co. Call ison Tries to Push Mayfield in the Soup and Falls in Himself. MK. EDITOR: Will you kindly publish the enclosed statement pf assessed value and tax levy from 1869 to 1891, and let the people know what juggling Mr. Mayfield has done with figures to mystify facts. Be sure and direct atten tion to the difference of $112,908.68 in favor of Rishardson's adminis tration as against Tillman's, and tell Mr. Mayfield to beware of the fate of Ananias, a famous figure expert in scriptural times . Respectfully. JAS. CALLIS?N. We hear a good deal from Gov. [Tillman, his staff, his organs, and his admirers, to the effect that he has reduced taxation. He has not done so. He has slightly reduced the rate of taxation, but has so increased the assessments that the State taxoB amount to more now than they have done for many j years. The following table, giving the j assessed value of all property in South Carolina, the levy in mills, and the yield in taxes will prove this. The figures are collated from the Comptroller General's reports : Year A8Vd Value of ?roperty. L'y M's Total State Tax. 1868- 69 1869- 70 1870- 71 1871- 72 1872- 73 1873- 74 1874- 75 1875- 76 1876- 77 1877- 78 1878- 79 1879- 80 1880- 81 1881- 82 1882- 83 1883- 84 1884- 85 1885- 86 1886- 87 1887- 88 1888- 89 1889- 90 1890- 91 $168,400,000 184,000,000 113,900,000 145,000,000 167,000,000 168,000,000 145,000,000 138,857,000! 135,000,000, 129,000,000 123,000,000 133,300,009 136,019,596 145,438,649 150,511,889 151,495,050 144,462,181 141,074,347 141,946,979 145,420,016 150,602,451 168,262,669 Vi 5 9 7 10 12 1.0J 94 7 M 4f 5 a 4| 5 5* H 4? 5 H 4| $1,335,000 1,014,000 1.108,000 i;019,300 2,091,000 2,085,000 1,555,000 *972,000 629,000 368,000 585,000 641,000 646,110 691,989 752,559 833.620 758,478 599,566 709,734 763,455 790,663 799,247 ?Includes school tax, lev'd by State The above shows that the taxes levied by the Tillman administra tion have been larger than those of any previous year during the rule of the Democratic party since 1876, except 1884-85, when an ex tra levy was made to pay accumu lated interest on the public debt. I Let us make another compari son. The totals of taxes, State, county and school, levied under Tillman's administration, for 1891, were! $1,969,955.32, while under Rich ardson's administration, 1889-90, they were $1,857,046.64, a differ ence in favor of Richardson's ad ministration and against Tillman's of $112,908.68. Gov. Tillman in his time has done a good deal of juggling with figures. We do not think he can juggle his way out of them. One of The Mob Prayed. WINCHESTER, KY, August 16- | Logan Murphy, the seven teen years-old desperado, was taken irom jail early this morning by a mob. He begged piteously for his life while being dragged from his cell. Murphy killed his. father in cold blood, was arrested, tried and sentenced to be hanged, but secured a new trial. While waiting this he was confined in Mount Sterling jail. Even there his murderous methods were continued. Shortly after his incarceration he slashed a fellow prisoner with a knife made from au iron hoop. Last week he quarrelled with another prisoner, named Archie Steele, and stabbed him to death with a knife, which Murphy said was giveu to I him by another prisoner. Tho feel ing against the boy murderer was so strong that it was deoidcd to bring him here for safety. Murphy was taken to the trestle on the railroad. A rope was quickly placed around his neck, and he was asked if he wished to pray He said: "I don't know how.'. His hands were then fastened be hind him and one of the lynchers pushed him from the trestle. He fell a distance of eight feet, break ing his neck. He was left hanging I untfi 8 o'clock this morning, when | he was cut down, and after the coroner's inquest, was turned over | to an undertaker. After Murphy said he oouldn't | pray one of the mob knelt down and offered up the following prayer : "Oh Lord, have mercy on the sinner who is about to be launched into eternity. He has" sinned I grievously in Thy sight, and as the law of the land has so far I failed to punish him, we have decided to mete out that justice which is due to those who take the lives of their fellow men. Oh Lord, he is not only a double murderer, but one of his victims was his own father. A third man lies at death's door from wounds inflicted by him, and he has served a term in the penitentiary for horse stealing, but Thou hast said, Oh Lord, that Thou wouldst wash the sinner whiter than snow,, and to Thy mercy do we commend the soul of Logan Murphy."-New York Sun.

We know that many read ers of the Advertiser distrust the advertisement which an nounces goods at cost; and such distrust is a wise skepti cism on the part of the public, for no merchant can sell goods at cost and meet his own bills, when presented for payment. And yet we are going to offer our stock of Shoes-one thou and dollars worth-at actual cost, less the freight. These Shoes are of all grades and sizes for ladies', gents', and children. We also offer all our Notions, Dry Goods, and Crockery at cost, less the freight. Our reasons for sell ing at cost are, first, we can as well afford to sell at cost as to keep them at cost; and secondly, we propose in the future to do only a grocery business, and must dispose of everything we keep, except groceries, in order to get the store room. These two reasons ought to satisfy the most skeptical that we mean business. If parti?s wish it we will show our bills. CHEATHAM & BURNETT Edgefield C. H., S. C. Always ask for "J. M.
