In fact there has never been such hustling done in an election since Edgefield was a county, as done by Hill and Wil liams between Tuesday, Aug. 30, and -Tuesday, Sept. 13. In those two weeks they expended enough energy to have hoed out three acres of cotton a day, if applied in that direction.

Our Correspondent from Texas Writes of Some Edgefield People He Met Out There, And Gives Other Inter esting and Valuable Information. "m MR. EniTOR : During my stay in Kosse, Texas, I was very much gratified to meet several Edgefield men with whom I was acquainted before they moved to this place to seek their fortunes in the lone star State. It makes a man feel good when he is in a strange land, away from home, kindred, and friends, to meet such men as Newton Wil liams, D. O. Brooks, Prof. Hall, and Mr. Martin, brother of the late Doc Martin. The friends of the three first named will be glad to learn they are doing well and making money. Mr. Williams, and his partner, Mr. Robertson of Alabama, are running a large hardware store in connection with buggies and wagons ; Mr. Brooks is lending money and discounting notes; Prof. Hall has charge of the high school in this place, and is getting a good salary for his ser vices, and has also made several investments in real estate. Mr. Martin, too, I suppose, is doing well. I have never heard anything in regard to his financial status. I travelled not long since from this place to Galveston, Texas, and a distance of 200 miles on the coast of Mexico. Along this line of road there are some fine farm ing lands on the creaks and rivers, which produce very fine crops, and then in other places the land is seemingly poor and sparsely set tled. There is a gre t deal of bald prairie lands on this road, where for miles you cannot see a tree. These lands are utilized to some extent for raising cattle, several' stock men have thousands of acres enclosed- with wire fences, where they raise thousands of cattle every year. I - saw ? number of ranches along the road, and a great many herds of cattle, groups of fifteen and twenty dotting the landscape as far as the eye could discern them. I also saw wind mills in these pastures that pump water from the wells to supply'the stock ; cowboys, too, can be seen charging over the prairies on Texas ponies looking after the cows. Some of these ranch owners are very wealthy; they have made large fortunes raising stock for beef, shipping it to-the different markets. Some being even ex ported to the foreign countries. I never saw a sheep while in Texas. I suppose they cannot stand the sun and heat of summer, as there are few trees in the pas tures to protect them from the hot rays of summer's scorching sun. The cattle in these pastures nev er get anything, winter or summer, to eat but grass. The frosts of winter kill the top of the grass, which falls over and covers up that which is underneath and keeps it green all the winter. Cat tle feed on this and do well all through the winter months. So it is very plain to see why they can raise so many beeves and make so much money. The owners of these ranches lease these lands from the govern ment for 3 cents per acre, the lease holding good until the government makes 3ales of the land. Some men buy these pasture lands to farm upon, the ranchmen, men who have these lands leased, make times hot for them, and throw every obstacle in their way they can, to keep people from settling up the lands they have leased. Some times the cow boys go so far as to cut these farmers fences and drive their stock off where they never findjthem. Stock raisers never will buy the lands as long as they can keep other people out, their lease holding good until the land is sold. Galveston is situated on Galves ton Island, from three to five miles wide and twenty-five miles long, the most of the land the citv is built upon being nearly as level as a floor. The city has a popula tion of about fifty thousand in habitants ; there are a great many large business houses here, and many large fine residences, that are magnificent and beautiful to behold, also large commodious ho tels built in the latest style. There are cotton mills, rope fac tories, and fine flouring mills here ; there is an elevator seven stories high standing on the water's edge that will hold one million bushels of wheat. Ships run up along side of this elevator to load with wheat, which runs through flues from the elevator into the ship, which bears it away to foreign countries. A little more than one million bales of cotton are ex ported from this place to Liver pool, England, and other distant ports. I, with others, went out one day on the Marietta, a nice sail boat, to fish and see the jetties the United States government is building in the bay to deepen the channel, so that very large vessels can run up to the wharfs to unload and reload. These jetties are seven miles long, and the government has appro priated six million dollars to pay for them. There is no justice, I think, in the United States gov ernment taxing the people of South Carolina to deepr the channel of Galveston for the benefit of the people of that city.. The bay is the prettiest sheet of water my eyes ever beheld, but our party had poor luck, indeed, . fishing, only caught about a half dozen small fish. We saw a great many other boats with fishermen 1 fishing, but did not ascertain what 1 luck they had. The United States government , has a quarantine station herewith the stars and stripes floating to the breeze, and a squad ol United ? States officers holding forth, draw ing big pay, doing nothing gener ally, and having a. good time. Un cle Sam robs the people and gets his money easy ; his officers rob j him, and so his money does him very little good at last. The beach hotel is on the out skirts of Galveston, on the coast of Mexico, it is a fine hotel, four stories high, bul; i upon the latest style with all modern improve ments, elegantly finished and fur nished in the interior, nice marble , floors in different colors through out the building, there are three verandas running all around the building, except the rear side, making a veranda for each story for three stories high, these ve randas are delightful for ladies and gentlemen to promenade, are there are a great many visitors here from different States of the Union, who come here seekingpleasure.lt looks like some of the young peo ple find pleasure here by the way they seem to be enjoying them selves promenading these long verandas I suspect many men have won many young ladies hearts here and led them to hymen s altar and the two made. one. In front of this hotel is a grand stand lighted up at night by fine chandeliers whare a band of music plays every night. All around in front of the stand and hotel there is a beautiful lawn covered with nice grass kept evenly mowed down which is very pretty, nice walks in different directions run ning through this lawn which is filled with chairs and benches that will seat about one thousand peo ple. The lawn and hotel verandas are crowded nearly every night while the band plays. In front of the hotel, on the edge of the water, is a long bath house, where they will hire you a bathing suit for twenty-five cents. You can then go in and bathe as long as you wish. One night I saw a hundred or more in bathing, a small per cent of whom were ladies wearing black suits. It surprised rae to see these ladies swim. I saw one swimming on her back, and there was such a fuss, talking, laughing, and halloing. It was a*novel sight to me. I thought about our Edge field girls, and that there was too much timidity about them to take part in such antics. Since leaving Edgefield I have visited Mr. Dobbs's family in Car terville, Ga ; he married an Edge field lady, Miss Ouzts, before the war, and has raised a nice family of children, who are all doing well. I also visited Mr. Lem Brooks in Gainesville, Ga ; he mar ried Miss Mary Ouzts. They were bath raised in Edgefield county. We lost a goQ? citizen when Mr. Brooks moved away and left us, and his many friends in his native county will be glad to know that he is enjoying tolerably fair health for a man that haB past his three score years and ten. J. T. ?. Let Us Harmonize. A prominent gentleman of Co lumbia, who has been bitterly opposed to Governor Tillman, and did all and everything in his power to nominate Colonel Shep pard, remarked, when the returns of our primary came in : "Wei J, this settles the matter, so far as I am concerned. I am now convinced that Tillman is. the undoubted and overwhelming choice of the Democratic voters of South Carolina for Governor, and it is not only folly, but wrong and injurious to the interesTS of our State and party, to longer op pose him. Therefore I shall bow to the will of the majority, and not only vote for Tillman and work for his election, but sustain him in every effort to build up the grand name and credit of South Carolina.-Register. CHOLERA ATA STANDSTILL NO NEW CASES IN NEW YORK YESTERDAY. One More Death at Swinburne Island-TIie Situation atQuar antine Improving. NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-The health board's 10 a, m bullentin is as follows : "No cases of cholera or suspected casea of cholera have been reported to this department since the last bulletin." It was currently reported this afternoon that there were sixteen cases of suspected cholera in^the reception hospital at the foot of East Sixteenth streets, and that the health department was observ ing great secrecy in regard to them. This report is pronounced by Gen. Emmons Clarke, secretary of the board of health, a baseless and cruel fabrication. He said there waB only one patient, Mary Connorty, whose case had been reported, in the entire hospital. At 9 o'clock the fleet of quar antined vessels at the lower and upper stations are as follows : In Lower quarantine are the steams Bhips Normannia, Marovia, Rugia, Scandia, Heliogoland, Bohemia and Suevia. The Wyoming left the lower quarantine at half-past 7 this morning and anchored in the Narrows. At the upper stations Eire the Wieland. State of Nevada, Bothnia, City of Chester, Mohawk andtheEnest Bismarck. At7:25 this morning the Heligo land signalled, "I am getting out of water, and must endeavor lo get some." Among the fifty-seven passen gers on the Mohawk, which arrived fchie morning from London, are Madam Tavary, Senator Ingalls, Prof. Mclaith, and Mr. and Mrs. Hewttt. The Ernest Bismarck brings 250 saloon and 172 second cabin passengers. All are well on board. The Allen line steamship State of Nevada, which arrived here on Wednesday morning from Glas gow, was released at 10 o'clock and proceeded to her pier. The steamer Mohawk of the Atlantic Transportation Line, from London, arrived here at 10 a. m. She is now anchored off Clifton. The Cephens has returned from the steamer Wyoming. D. Vought reports to Dr. Jenkins that the Wyoming's passengers refuse to go to Fire Island, claiming that the Wyoming is not an infected ship. The doctor will compel them to go tomorrow, even if he has to use force. One of the cases from . the Bohemia on Swinburne Island died during the night. Dr. Byron's 12:42 p. m. report is as~ follows: "We have b?en down to the fleet. All o. k. on board. Th? Bohemia has cases of measleframong the children. The Bohemia has over 200 children on board, and all the passengers have had a bath and been disinfected. The name of the passenger who died on Swinburne Island this morningwasChageMass (French) aged twenty-eight. She came from the Bohemia and was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon. The board of health at 4 o'clock this afternoon, issued the fol lowing bulletin: 'JNo cases or suspected cases of cholera" have appeared in this city since the last bulletin. The total number of deaths from cholera in this city up to date have been five." Charleston Quarantine. CHARLESTON, ;Sept, 17-A con ference of the health officials was held to-day, at which the question of quarantine wes dicussed. It was decided to permit the Clyde steamers ?nd other vessels to come up to the city after being inspected and fumigated. This will cause only a detention of four or five hours in the schedule time of the Clyde Line, and will in no way interfere with the business transac ted by that company or incom mode travelers over the water in the slightest degree. As regards a land quara ntine the members of the conference de cided to call the attention of the State board of health to the matter, that body having power to act if such a measture becomes necessary. The Algonquin brought about thirtyfive passengers to-day. Receiver D. H. Chamberlain of the South Carolina Railway and Mr. James E. Edgerton of the Clyde Line attended the health conference for the purpose of making some suggestions they thought of importance. The board of health rescinded the order adopted yesterday re quiring New York steamers to be quarantined for five days. Consternation at Jacks ony?He. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 17. There was consternation in* busi ness circles bye this morning when it was announced that Charleston had placed a three days quarantine detention on all vessels from New York. This would stop all freight and passenger traffic by Florida steam ship lines, whose vessels touch at Charleston, and Savannah (which has no quarantine) would have scoooped business. The Charleston health authorities this afternoon modified the order, so that now vessels are subject to the inspecton only, There will be no detention at Charleston, Savannah, Fernan dina or Jacksonville. Suspected Case in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17-There is a cholera suspect in the Municipal Hospital. The patient is William Keller, a German laborer, about thirty-five years old, who came to Phieadelphia from New York last Wednesday. His home in New York was on Second avenue, near victims reported by the New York board of health. Keller was stricken this morning. Cholera Reported in Texas. DENITON, . Sept. 17.-Reliable information from Gainesville, Texas, is to the effect that cholera has appeared at Gainesville, and that two deaths resulted there from it to-day. Four new cases are repor ted. All the patients are in quarantine. The epidemic was brought by a party of immigrants destined to the Jew ish Colony, fourteen miles west of Gainesville. , Carelessness of Health Officers. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 17. Secretary Probst of the State board of health this morning re ceived a letter from Dr. N. D. Baker, secretary of the West Vir ginia board of health, containing the startling information that 300 immigrants passed through that State last evening, many without health certificates. None were sick, but Dr. Baker says it shows carelessness that is startling. He also says that there is a disposi tion at Baltimore to get immi grants there out of the city as soon as possible. Dr. Probst sent a telegram to railway managers this morning, notifying them that no inmigrants will be allowed to en ter Ohio without certificates. A Plague Shi:> at Baltimore. BALTMORE, Sept. 17.-The Johns ton line steamer.Baltimore, from Liverpool, is flying the yellow Bag at quarantine. It is reported that John Joyce, a cattle foreman on board the vessel, has cholera 3ymptoms. One of the crew is also 3aid to be suspected of having the flisease. The vessel passed in Hampton Roads yesterday after noon and was boarded by the Federal health officers, who gave her a clean bill of health. Is Cholera Incurable? St. Louis Globe-Democrat : "As for cholera cures," said a gentle man at the Southern yesterday' "I don't believe there is a possibility of curing the cholera. People that are cured don't aave the chol era : people that have the chol era don't get cured-they die. That's all there is to it. Every case of suspected cholera is not cholera This theory is well borne out by the contents of a book that I found in the con gressional library at Washington some years ago. It is a narrative of the experiences of an English army surgeon in Constantinople during a cholera visitation. The author says there were two*, large hospitals in the city-one conduct ed by the Turks and one by the the English. In the Turkish hospital the patients were treated according to the formula of fatalism; they got no medicine but a cup of water containing a slip of the Koran. The Turks be lieve that if a man is destined to die he can't, be cured, and if he is destined to live he can't be killed. In the English hospital the patients received the regular allopathic treatment, from calomel to quiniae. Every sick man was allowed to determine which kind of treatment he preferred. At the end of the plague it was found that the percentage of re coveries had been as great in the Turkish as in the English hospital. And so I contend that in each hospital the recoveries were not cholera- cases, while the deaths were." MASTER'S SALE. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. EDGEFIELD COUNTY. Court of Common Pleas. CAROLINE B.
