Edgefield Advertiser THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR. THURSDAY, OCT. 20,1892 He D?mocratie Wet;: FOR PRESIDENT: GRO.VER CLEVELAND, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: ADLAI E. STEVENSON, OF ILLINOIS The medical .opinion prevails generally that the- grip will not appear again next winter as an epidemic. How tho medical peo ple know this we don't know, but we. hope they do know. Grover Cleveland has gained a | vote in Riverton, Kentucky, in a rather curious way. A domineque pullet, owned by a farmer of River ton county, laid an egg recently with the raised letters "G. C." on the large end. The farmer had , been a Republican up to that time but now says the pullet has con verted him, and he expects to vote for Cleveland from now on. While in New York Gov. Till man met ex-President Cleveland, and had a long talk, spending the greater part of an evening with ' him. The Colnmbia State says, Ben tried to "bamboozle" him. Of course he couldn't "debauch" him as they have both sworn they wouldn't touch anything stronger than persimmon beer until after the eighth of November. WATCH OUT. A combination has been formed between a wing of the Conservatives and a few third partyites, a sort of Puritan-Blackleg coalition, to defeat all of Governor Tillman's measures of reform, to put him in the soup and in the suds on all occasions-to harass and defeat the management of the Clemson College and Industrial School, and | to manipulate aud control the! coming Legislature in the interest of a deadly hate to Gov. Tillman and all he advocates. NOT A JOT OR TITTLE. The National Economist, in a j recent issue, favors the nomination of Gov. Tillman for the presidency in 1896. It says: "The recent victories in the pri maries of South Carolina, which resulted iu the selection, of Ben Tillman for re-election as Gover nor, and such a sweeping victory in the different Congressional dis tricts, was victory in fact, and one which will do much to secure leg islation in the interest of the peo ple. Let no word ever be said against Ben Tillman. He has the j nerve, the ability, and the courage to lead the great common people to a national victory in 1896." Let us not fail to nominate Ben. i We hope Gov. Tillman will be caught by no such charl as this, nor be made to depart one jot or tittle from the path of Democ racy. LET IT EE JUDGE GARY. Owing to Judge Kershaw's con tinued ill-health,that distinguished soldier and eminent jurist has de termined not to stand for re-elec tion to the judgeship of the fifth circuit. Such being the case, Western Carolina desires to pre sent the name of one of her brain iest sons for that exalted position, a name which will occur to almost every reader-that of Maj. Ernest ? Gary, of Edgefield. Major Gary's temperament, legal acumen, splendid equip?se, and a judicial balance which is like The swan's down feather, That stands upon the swell at fall of tide.. And neither way inclines, make it eminently fit and proper that he should wear the ermine. And all Edgefield so hopes and so wishes and pledges her ancient renown that he will, if elected worthily wear the robe. A LESSON. When the report reached Tom Watson that his district had gone Democratic he cried like a child, and said the thing he most re gretted was the "bitterness which had been aroused against him by his old friends." In his old home town all life-long friends voted against him, and because of his teachings of race equality, many of them declined to receive him at their homes or to associate with him. Tom Watson is a bright, brilliant, brainy man, and could have held the position of repre sentative to Congress from the tenth district so long as he wished, but he lacked balance, and illured by that will o' the wisp, the pros pect of being nominated for vice president by the Third Party, deserted his party, deserted his race, and now weeps when he finds that the way of the transgressor is hard. Let his fate be a warning to any in South Carolina who would follow in his footsteps. STATE BANKS. The following letter, written by Senator Ben Hill, of Georgia, or the subj ec t of state banks, will be ot special interest at this time : Atlanta, Ga., December 26th, 1879.-My Dear Sir: I received yonr letter on yesterday and read it with much interest. I think that the tax on state bank issues of ten per cent being intended to be prohibitory is clearly unconstitutional and ought to be repealed entirely. Cf course, then, I do not think congress could repeal this tax as to one species of slate banks, and continu? it as to others. Whether states shall charter banks at all, and on what terms such charter shall be granted must be determined solely by each state for itself. I think the suggestion that the states should chartear banks to be secured in their issues by deposits of state bonds is a most admirable one, and I .had intended to make this suggestion to Georgia as soon as the ten per cent tax was repealed. The details can be settled hereafter, and I hope you will give your valublo at tention to the subject. In my judgment congress ought to do two things : I. Repeal this tax on state banks issues and 2d. Repeal the legal tender feature of the greenback currency. These two unconstitutional barriere removed the whole country will settle back on coin as the only constitutiona! money, and on paper ourrency, redeemable in coin as the only proper paper currency. The peo ple and business will do all the bal ance, and take this currency ques tion out of the mouths of silly editors and designing politicians. Democratic triumphs with peace and prosperity will follow. With high regard I am, yours very truly. ( Signed) BENJAMIN H. HILL. Hon. L. F. Girrard, Columbus, Ga. UNDER LOCK AND KEY. It Is the Custom in Brazil to Hide Maidens from Man's View. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Mr. Bigg Wither, an English engineer wha was employed some years in railroad surveying in Brazil, tells some interesting ex periences among the landed pro prietors, Being a man he hada better opportunity than I to know how women deport themselves in the presence of the other sex. Let me quote a few paragraphs pertain ing to a visit he made in the valley of Ivahy. Senhor Andrade was an old man, and allowed his wife to do most of the talking for him when she was in the room. One ot her first questions was to know whether I was married or not, and on hearing that I was still in the full enjoy ment of freedom she proceeded to enlarge apon the delights of mar ried life, at the same time inform ing me that she had five unmarried daughters. After this pretty broad hint of what was expected, of course I expressed a wish to make the acquaintance of these fair members of the family. Her face became suddenly grave. She looked hesitatingly at her husband, who had remained silently puffing his cigarette during the conversation, and he said something which 1 did nqt understand, but which at once dispelled her momentary gravity. The old man got up, went across- to a locked door, turned the key, opened it and disappeared into a dark chamber within. Al most immediately he returned, saying, "The girls are not accus tomed to see strangers and are afraid." Meanwhile the senhora, who wasevidently now determined that her daughters should show themselves, had also disappeared into the secret chamber, from which now proceeded sounds of whispering and suppressed gig gling. Presently the senhora re appeared, leading a very modest looking damsel of about 19 years, closely followed by three others, apparantly somewhat younger. All were overwhelmed with in tense shyness and a hysterical de sire to laugh. After a formal and separate introduction to each-be it noted that the lady here is intro duced to the gentlemen-they all scampered back into the secret chamber and their papa turned the key upon them. At this time I was ignorant of the custom which is so general in these out-of-the way parts of keeping the women, or rather the daughters of the family locked up like wild beasts, consequently I did not hesitate to express my wonder and to ask why it was done in this case. In an swer Senhor Andrade said that it was the custom of the country, and he had never thought of bringing up his daughters in any other way. "Do they ever go out?" I asked. "No, never," he replied; "not now that they are grown. They had all learned horseback riding when children, but since they had been shut up in the house, according to the custom for girls, where they must remain until hus bands can be obtained for them." Poor things I It is to be hoped that there are a few old maids among the lasses of Brazil. Troops for Florida. From the Advertiser of Feb nth, 1836. Our readers are informed?that an Express reached Governor McDuffie. eight or ten days ago, requiring two regiments of men from the State, for the Florida service. A requistion of three companies was made upon this District. The 10th Regiment wai immediately assembled, and it is highly gratifying for us to record that the draft was superceded bv the prompt volunteering of the men. In all the Regiments more men tendered their services than were required and the officers of the respective companies were compelled to refuse many. And as strange as it may sound to the ears of some, it is nevertheless true, that we saw men with tears in their eyes, begging that they should be received. On Thursday last the three companies were assembled at this place by order of the Governor, to be reviewed and ordered to their place of destination A fine band of music attended from Hamburg, and never did we we see, at this place, a larger throng of our citizens. His Excellency made a short but animating addresss to the re spective companies-he told them they were charged with the honor of South Carolina, and said,-he had no fears that honor was safe We looked at the officers, and we .looked at the men again and again, andwe will venture to say without intending a boast, that the volunteers of Edgefield, come what may, will nobly do their duty. In the evening they took up the march to Aiken, under an escort of Capt. Griffin's Troop of Cavalry They are destined for Charleston and finally, we un derstand, for Picalati, Florida. It may be important to observe that a fund of upward of $5,000 was subscribed by our citizens for these brave volunteers-and that the ladies of our Village, with a patriotism and public spirit highly commendable, were most busily engaged up to the very moment of their departure, in the making of uniforms for Captain Jones's company, of this Regiment and providing otherwise for their comfort. We have the pleasure of laying before onr readers the names of the officers and privates. 7TH REGIMENT. Jame Jones, Captain. Eldred Simkins, 1st Lieut, Edmund L. Penn, 2d Lieut. John W.

The insinua tion was instantly refuted by i staunch Democrat, and the audi ence was so indignant that they would not listen to any attempt at explanation.
