Edgefield Advertiser LOGAI2 BREVITIES. So little cotton h?s been brought into town this week that we verily believe the supply is about ex hausted; The farmers of Edgefield have made more provisions this year than for many years, and they have already sowed largely of wheat and oats for another year's crop. The many friends of J. Wm. Thurmond, Esq., will be delighted to hear that he has safely passed the crisis of his disease, in fact is sitting up, and is rapidly conval escing. Gap?. George Evans has the money for managers and clerks of the. Federal'and State elections. .Persons entitled will call at the office of Gary^ & Evans in person or send a written order. Married, by the Rev. J. P. Meal ing, at the residence of the bride's step-mother, on Sunday, Nov. 13th, 1892, Mr. James Rhodes and Miss Jennie Wren, all of Edgefield county. Dr. F. W. P. Butler is at home again. Frank likes the sea breezes, even in November, and the odor of a salt marsh is to him the ecstatic essence of a delightful and rap turous Nirvana. Dr. Price Timmerman was in town on Monday. Dr. Price is one of the most genial and popular of the rising young physicians in the county, but he stills revels in a state of single blessedness, or cuss edness, as you may choose to char acterize the state. Mr. Joseph AitonT'e?dest son of Maj. John W. Aiton, died at his home in the Call ison section on last Friday of typhoid fever. De ceased had made many friends, and his career, though short, being not more than twenty-eight years of age at the time of his death, is a bright example of industry, thrift and integrity. Doscher & Co., 606 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., the "old reliable," advertise, in this week's issue a spacial and elaborate line of Christ mas groceries. If the ADVERTISER had an enemy it wished to kill oh good things, it would carry him to Doscher & Co., and give those gentlemen c<irteHanehe to kill him by allowing him to eat himself to death. . Dr. Jos. H. Jennings,-of Plum Branch, was in town on Monday, hale, hearty, and genial, and as young, to all intents and pur poses, as. when in 1860 he ran for the. Legislature, and headed the ticket. Ah, those were the dayB when Mart Gary, Cal Butler, Joe Jennings, and Tom Lamar filled our boyish beau ideal of what statesmen, scholars, and gentlemen ought to be. M^ss Jo Langford left here Sun?: day afternoon for Mr. Dan Holley's in Edgefieid Co. She will take charge of the District ' School in that part of Edgefield County, and the home of her relative (Mr. Dan HoUgy) will be her home during the school term. She has few equals as a teacher and this school is fortunate in having. sec ured her service?.-Prosperity Reported. No Court. We will have no November court. On Friday of last week Maj. Gary received a telegram from Solicitor Nelson stating that he had just re ceived a telegram from Judge Wallace- in the following words : UNION, S. C., Nov. 18,1892. I will not be able to hold court in Edgefield. (Signed) W. Q, WALLACE. Another Fire. On Sunday night, 13th inst, Mr. M. C. Jackson, who lives in the Antioch section, had his dwelling house consumed by the devouring flames. Besides the most of the furniture he lost $71 in money, the hen house containing eighty-two laying hens, the dairy in which were fifty dozen eggs, milk, etc. There was only $500 insurance. Better Roads. If you wish for better roads, step into the postoffice and sign a petition which Capt. Branson will hand you, praying Congress to es tablish a road department of the government at Washington, having in special charge the roads of the country, their betterment, and for the suggesting and devising of ways and means to accomplish this desirable end. Cotton Seed Hulls. Maj. Dick Anderson, the genial boniface of the Hotel Edgefield, tells us that his horses eat cotton seed hulls with avidity, and he gives them regular rations of it. We have no doubt that cotton sead hulls is a good article of food for horses, as it is well known to be for cattle. We give Maj. Anderson's expedience that others seeing it may profit thereby. Hessian Fly. Tho Hessian fly has broke loose and is playing havoc with the wheat and oats in the county. We had hoped we never would have to handle this subject again, or give the history of the Hessian fly and tell how he got here. But here it is : During the Revolutionary war there was a skirmish on the head waters of Mountain Creek in this county between a detachment of British soldiers and a small body of American troops. The Ameri cans were victorious and captured three of the enemy who were wounded. The captured pris oners turned out to be Hessians, who after the war settled in Edge field, and we personally know about forty of their descendants. Well to make a long story short, these three Hessians had the flies on 'em. And that is the way the Hessian fly got ta Edgefield. Cotton Booming-. Any kind of dog-tail cotton ia bringing 9cts in our market this week. Kew Postoffice. A new pobtoffice is soon to be es tablished at Mr. Wiley Well's with the good old name, Horns Creek postoffice. Stirred TJp. Onr townsfolk are stirred up from centre to circumference, and from ridge-pole to cellar about our abominable mail schedule. "Old Tumblin" is catching particular fits, and even the Post Master Gen eral is being "sassed." "Old Tumblin" ought to be ashamed of herself. Opera House Services. Religious services in the Edge field Opera House beginning De cember 1st, next Thursday week. See Mr. Plowden's announcement in another column, and the testi monials to Mr. Fife's Christian character and work from distin guished divines of various denom inations. Mr. Fife is t?Se noted "Drummer Evangelist," who has accomplished so much for the cause of Christ in other places. Dwelling- Burned. On last Monday night, the night of the wind storm, Mr. Davis Padgett, living six miles north of Edgefield, had the misfortune to lose his dwelling house by fire, which happened in this way : The family were in the front part of the house reading, and while thus engaged the kitchen door was blown open by the violent wind and the fire blown from the ptove to the floor1-at least this is the supposition of Mr. Padgett, for when discovered the conflagration was under full headway. Lamentable Accident. We clip tho following from the Parksville correspondence of the Columbia Register of date Nov. 19th; Mr. Benjamin J. Tillman, second son of Hon. George D. Till man, was accidentally shot late this afternoon while duck hunting in company with Dr. G. A. Bunch, J. H. Tillman, Capt. John A Butler and George D. Tillman Jr. The misfortune occurred at a duck pond on the plantation of Con gressman Tillman near the Savannah River. Mr. Benjamin Tillman was near the centre of the pond, standing on some logs, when his brother George was on the bank. On account of the shrubbery neither could see the other. As the ducks flew between them young George Tillman fired, hitting his older brother in the face and upper portion of the body, two shot lodging immediately below either eye and burying deeply into the flesh. The wound is very painful but is not thought to be serious. Dr. Bunch is attending the young man. Very Pertinent and Well Timed. A Suggestion to the Legisla ture nyX&wyer Mayson; MR. EDITOR: When a circuit judge is disabled from holding court, on account of providential causes, the law as it is fails to pro vide a remedy to expedite business of grave importance of both pri vate and public interest. Judge Wallace was physically' unable to preside at the November term of the court, which was no fault of his, but the fault lies in the law in not providing a remedy by which the court can be held in occurrences of a providential character like that in question, which is liable to occur at any time in this and other circuits. The Constitution of South Caro lina gives the Governor power, in case a circuit judge or one of the judges of t^? Supreme Court, "shall be disquaflified from presiding by reason of affinity and consanguin ity to either of the litigant parties, or having been counsel in anv cause to be heard, to appoint some one learned in the law to preside in said cause." Legislation, up to this period, is defective in this particular, in. not giving to the Governor power in case of providential causes, when the inability of any circuit judge may occur, to provide for the ap pointment of one learned in the law to hold court. I urge upon the present Legislature to remedy this defect." This would be economy to the tax paj ers in counties in which such accidents may occur, and a convenience and satisfaction to the public as well as to the lawyers. P. B. MAYSON. "linc Creek y otes. . MR. EDITOR : We had a fine rain and boisterous wind the other night, and weare now enjoying the pleasant breezes of hog-killing weather. But we have not many to kill in these "diggins." We had plenty of hogs, but it seems that they are all going to die natural deaths. Tue sociable at Mr. T. R. Towles's last Thursday night was every thing that was lovely. Ohl the sweet music ; but still sweeter yet, was the little girls. After the fun was over, then came the parade for the cake. All walked with anxious hearts, but sweet little Maud got it. Mr. Lewis Edwards and Miss Mary Bartley were united in mat rimonial bonds last week, Capt. E. B. Forrest officiating. From the general appearance of things, some one else is going to invest in the "popular bonds." Mr. John Lake came down last Saturday night and organized a Y. M. C. A. with the Richland boys. It is to go by the name of the Mine Creek Association. Mr. Lake has been visiting all of the Y. M. C. A.'s in the lower part of the county. The people are going in for the "hoe-cake" this time. Well, why should they not do it? They can make it here as well as elsewhere. "Life is a leaf of paper white, Whereon each one of us may write, His word or two-then comes night." JOHN BLAKE. Mine Creek, S. C. What Cranston & S to vail Say About Cotton-Some Invalua ble Information. AUGUSTA, GA., NOV. 19, '92. DEAR SIR : We do not indulge iu "we told you so," but in our respects of the 11th ult., we gave you such facts bearing upon the probable course of the market from its statistical position "that he that ran might read." Middling cotton was then quoted here at 7 1-16, and to-day we quote it in good demand at 9|. We are now, as then, solely un biased, having no interest in the market btyond that of our. friends and customers, whose instructions we obey, but we endeavor to give them all the facts, and with the in formation before them, let them do their own thinking and act accord ingly. The following has been received by us about the crop : New Orleans wires: McNeill says, "the frost has. done more damage than he anticipated." Little Rock, Ark., wires : "Crop account^ continue bad."

Memphis, Tenn., wires: "Crop reports alarming, best information million bales short in a radius of 200 miles of Memphis." St. Louis, Mo., wires : "Crop ac counts getting worse and worse." Columbia, S. C., wires : "Receipts light, talk of exhaustion." Gainsville, Tex., wires: "Now think Indian Territory will be more than 40 % short of last year j this part, North Texas, 30 to 40 % short." Montgomery, Ala.,wires: "Crop is short and is nearly all gathered." Nashville, Tenn., wires : "Crops nearly all gathered in this section, frost did great damage, think 6$ million bales full estimate for the crop." New Orleans writes : "Our trav elling men say Mississippi will not make over half crop.

At a pfayer-meeting "down East," a man noted for his fail ures to meet business obligations, arose to speak. The subject was : "What shall I do to be saved?" He commenced slowly to quote the words : "What shall I do to be saved?" He paused, looked around and said again: "What shall I do to be saved?" Again with more solemn tone he repea ted the question of questions, when a voice from the assemby, in ciear and distinct tones replied : "Go and pay John Williams for that yoke of oxen." ? The incident stirs up solemn thought. A great many people before they can be saved, or guide others to the Saviour, will have to "go and pay John Williams" the money they honestly owe him. Shrewd tricksters in ihe marts of the world are not shrewd enough to be dishonest at heart 8nd retain the favor of God who "loves purity in the inward parts." Neither can a hope of the world to come be like a sheet anchor in the soul of any one who robs God by being dishonest to his fellow-man. Thousands read no other Bible than the lives of those who pro fess to be following its precepts in their daily lives. The greatest need of the church is true, pure, upright living-"living epistles, known and read of all men." The square man is the best shape. The tree is known by its fruit. "Go and pay John Williams.-Mid Continent. AUGUSTA'S CELEBRATION. TH I RT Y THOUSAND LOYAL AMERICAN CITIZENS Send to Heaven in One Universal According Chorus : Victory for Black, Cleveland and Reform. The grand celebration which was had in Augusta on the night of the 16th inst, in rebuke of Republican and Third party principles ?(if such they may be called) will long be remembered by thoso present. 'Twas a gala night in every respect. As the torch lights made day foi us, we could see even in the shak ing of the leaflets upon the tall, graceful elms which adorn and beautify Broad and Green streets "Cleveland, Black and Reform." But when the thirty thousand who assembled here to do honor to great principles of Democracy be gan to send to heaven in one uni versal according chorus, "Hurrah 1 for Cleveland, Black and Reform."' we could but stand in trembling ecstacy, looking, but speechless. It was but a gentle reminder of the fact that the day has come when the true men of the North and of the East and of the West are willing to meet the true men of the South upon some midway spot on the soil of the mother of Stales, the home of Washington, and there erect a monument as broad as the pyramid of Egyp t, and crowning it all the Godess of American liberty with her beautiful face extended to the ris ing sun, her right hand pointing to Holleywood on the James, her left hand to Arlington on the Potomac, those hushed encamp ments where sleep thousands re spectively of the blue and the grey, and the}r shall speak with trumpet longs across the waters and pro claim with pride "these are both my children." When this immense, enthusiastic Democratic crowd repaired to the speakers stand and caught a glimpse of the inimitable Black, nothing could be heard save "Black, Black, Black." "Watson, where is the flag we placed in your hand?" could Be heard every where. "The flag is now in the hands of Mr. Black," said another. BlapK' then took the stand and in a thirty minutes speech he proved himself to be "an orator and statesman sublime." He spoke most feelingly of the people of his district. As the great orator of past days, he called us, "Friends countrymen and lovers." He wished merchants, farmers, labor-, ers lawyers, and people in every vocation in life God speed. Noble, generous Black ! May he live long and do good I It does our heart proud to say this. The gallant boys of Edgefield were not lacking in the procession. They were here in great numbers yelling for Democracy and Reform. As the procession passed No. 1102 Broad Street, at which place Messrs jim and Ed Paul are now running a saloon and restaurant, which is replete with splendid neatness, the ?dgefield boys gave vent to their feelings, and not only yelled for Cleveland, Black, and Reform,but gave cheer after cheer for these boys of their home, of their child hood. 'The Paul Bros. after their departure spoke of the kind treat ment, and how delightfully pleased they always are to see Edgefield people, tho home of their na tivity. SAM. Augusta, Ga. How to Take the Starch Out of Him. COLEMAH'S X ROADS, S. C. MR.

On the first day of December Mr. W. P. Fife the now celebrated Drummer Evanglist," will begin a series of meetings in our Opera House. The building will be provided with stoves and made comfortable. All are invited and urged to attend these meetings. Services morning afternoon and evening. We want the presence and help of all the christian peo ple in our town and community. Mr. Fife is warmly endorsed by all the leading pastors of different "d?nominations in the various places where he has conducted* s?vices, and we trust that his visit to our town may redound to the glory of (rod and the good of all our churches. J. M. Plowden. Read the following and soe what consecrated men of God say of Mr. Fife's work. Rev. Stringfellow, Rector of the Episcopal Church, at Martinsville, Va., who was a well known and trusted scout on Gen. Lee's staff, says of the result of the meetings of Mr. Fife in that town : "I never was so fully baptized by the Holy Ghost as during these meetings at which hundreds were converted." Writing of the great meeting which the Evangelist held at Oxford, N. C., the pastor of the Presbyterian Church, says in a column article to the North Carolina Presbyterian: The effects of the meeting have been the most, blessed I have ever witnessed from such services. As for the christian people of Oxford, they are a unit in thanking God for raising up Mr. Fife and sending him into our midst. Enough has been said to show that we believe the work is God's and will last." The Baptist Pastor at the same place, in a column article to the Biblical Recorder, Raleigh, N. C. say : Such a revival as has blessed our community we have never known before, the ministers, old and young, of the Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian churches all with one accord declare it to be the most wondeeful and de lightful meeting they ever attenbed Mr. Fife's success in winning souls for Christ has bee marvolous. At his old home in Clinton, N. C., where he held a meeting last September over five hundred persons professed conversion.', Pastor of Presbyterian church, Wilson, N. C., writes September 3d, 1892: "I have had ample opportunity to judge Mr. Fife' his method and the results of his work. As a man he is humbly earnest, preaches the pure word of God, in which he is thoroughly versed, has an intense faith in the .fficacy of prayer and the power of the.Spirit, plain, candid sincere and fearless with all classes. His methods are simple and thoroughly evangelical. He refuses undue .xcitiment. Explains to the inquirer the seriousness of the step he ii about to take and insists on serious thought and calm deliberation. His visit to Wilson resulted in two hundred accessions to the different churches." A Methodist minister, of Oxford, N.C.,writes, "lam sure I never saw in any meoting such harmony, good will brotherly feeling and united of action. As to the converts holding on. they do as well, if not better, as converts of any meeting. I believe Bro, Fife to be a conscientious, faithful man of God." From a Single Barley Stalk. Tests made under the auspices of the Royal Philosophical society with'a single barley stalk unfolded wonders which but few have ever thought even possible. By steep ing and watering that one plant with saltpeter dissolved in rain water they managed to produce 249 stalks and over 18,000 grains. -Philadelphia Ledger.
