Edgefield Advertiser LOGA? BREVITIES. A farmer in Japan, who owns ten acres of land is looked upon as a bloated aristocrat. Cotton seed in South 'Carolina at from 30 to 35 cents a bushel is higher than corn in Texas. Look at your subscription re ceipts, dear reader, and if you are . behind call around court week, if not before, and arrauge matters. Happj and content is a home with "The Ro chester;" a lamp with the light of the morning For Catalogue, write Rochester Lamp Co.,New York. Mr. J. D. Dunovant. of Clinton ward and Mine Creek, was in town on Saturday. He says the Federal court at Charleston is a humbug. In this market there is no de cline in the price of meat and lard, and there is no present pros pect of any. In fact all classes of groceries are up at the top notch. If you want to do a good thing, instead of putting kainit in the soil direct, sprinkle it in your stables, where it will do great good. It is absolute folly to use kainit in any other way. Ninety-five cents on the dollar for school checks at the ADVER TISER office, that is, if yon are a subscriber, or become one at the time you bring in your checks to be cashed. A few bushels of cotton seed, Peterkins Cluster, for sale at the ADVERTISER office at $1.25 per bushel, ?r will exchange for ordi nary seed at the rates of one for four. If any gentleman within the sound of our voice has some home raised Irish potatoes to exchange for cotton seed, Peterkin's Cluster, peck for peck, let him* bring 'em in to this office. Col. S. C. Strom; of Gilgal, has sent us a package of home-raised smoking tobacco, which is said to be elegant. Col. Strom remembers when tobacco used to be rolled in hogsheads from this region to Charleston. Good Friday comes on March 3l8t this year. This-is the day to plant beans, squashes, okra, toma toes, and figg plant. Of course you will by that time have already planted Irish potatoes, onions, green pease, lettuce, etc. Mr. S. W. Gardner, one pf the best farmers of Meriwether town ship, was in town on Saturday and gave us a pleasant call. Mr. Gard-; uer thinks the small grain was in jured by the late freezes, but not; destroyed, and hopes it will mak^ a good crop.

At the grand inquest held on Monday of this week by Messrs. T. J. Parks, E. H. Folk, and Tbos. J. Adams, the following stanzas, in the order in which they appear, took the three prizes offered by Mr. E. J. Norris, of our town, for the best, second best, and worst lines on "Omega" flour. The first prize gets a barrel of flour, and was awarded to Miss S. M. Fleming * by Messrs. E. H. Folk and J. T. Parks. The second prize, half barrel, was given to Mr. R. H. Minis by the same vote, Mr. Adams having voted that these lines should have the first prize. The third prize, a biscuit, was won by Mt. John Polkly, of Mine Creek, and has been forwarded to him by mail, with his poem baked inside the biscuit, so that when he eats it he will still have as much poetry in him as he ever had. FIBST PBIZE. Oh, Edgefield matrons, good and' fair, Oh, Edgefield maidens, ever dear. Oil, Edgefield gallants, brave and true, Tbe M use has this to say to you : Tell all your friends who have to bake Biscuit, or bread, or the lightest of cake, That E. J. Norris's Omega brand Is v: flour that every test will stand. SECOND PRIZE. Omega lU of pure white wheat, Your ev** o want is sure to meet, Fair as a lily, pure as gold Sure, no such Hour will e'er be sold. In fruit cake rich and pancakes nice, Custards made with sugar and rice, Slap-jacks, fritters, and muffins rare, Pies and dumplings with apples fair, AH, all are best, and sure to please, When Omega flour in them-be's. If this song don't win the barr-el If no fight-there'll be a quarrel. The barrel lost (no cheek I lack.) Certain it is-I'll get the sack. These-both lost-once more I'll risk it For sure I am-I'll get the biscuit. BISCUIT PIECE. Omega ls my namo and grade, I am the best in the county oh, If you try me and see you will rever do without me no more. J can be bought at Norris's store, Jp Edgefield in this county, So buy me all and throw glory around me. Although the committee awarded the prizes as above, still they do not wish to say that there was not great merit in some of the other poems submitted, and they would especially commend the following for a rare degree of excellence. The first we submit is from the pen of an ex-county commissioner whop) his friends never suspected of possessing the divine afflatus, but he did nevertheless : Don't talk to me of cracklin' bread, Nor hoe-cakes nice and brown, Omega flour is far ahead, Of any flour in town. It's good for cakes good for pies, It's good for biscuit, too; Bake it right, it's sure to rise And that will prove it true. The next one was indicted by the hand of a lovely widow : When a woman has no dower, She should buy Omega Flour; For 'tis certain it has the power, To make up for the missing dower, And when you go to buy this Flour, And take it to your lonely bower, " Kemember Norris, that man of power Gracious, kind, and never sour. A fair maiden gives the next : E. J. Norris' Omega flour, Is the best in the land yon can buy, T'will sweeten your yeast, and never turn sour, And make you an elegant pie. 'Tis whiter, and lighter, and cheaper I bet, Than anything yet you have kneaded, So this Omega flour, you quickly must get From Norris's soon as 'tis needed. The father of seven beautiful daughters furnishes the next : Of all the various brands of flour that's ?round To make nice bread all the year round, Or cake for the^ wedding, or pies for the dinner^ To be eaten at'church by the good man and sinner. The poor man's hoecake, or for that matter, The melting meals we make out of batter, No flour will suit the white man and nigger Half so well as Epps Norris' Omiga. This is a dialect piece, making it appear that the Omega is so good that the^col'yed people eat it raw : What makes old Poo-Poo Randall come So gleesome in the gate? "Kase he's got a sack of good ol' Mega flour on his pate." "Miss sont him to the village 'Bout half an hour ago But I spec SO man y's bay in' hit * He couldn't come befoV "I tell you Mr. Norris was A mighty lucky man, When he bought dat 'Mega flour Hit's de fines'-in delan. . On a ?lose investigation of . Old Randall's lengthened stay Ht told.us that ''dat flour smek As sweet as any bay" Tnai he had to stop along the road Tc fill his "cravm craw, Dat Mega was so monstrous good, I's er bleeged to eat some raw." Personal .Mention. ' Miss Ashley, of Trenton, is vis iting Miss Mamie Addison; Rev. J. Q. Adams, pastor of the first Baptist Church of Asheville, N. C., spent a few days in Edge field this week.. t Rev. Pinckney Blalock preached an eloquent sermon in our village Baptist Church on Sunday morn ing last. ^ Miss Eliza Mims, the talented daughter oc.

Through some oversight I have delayed an an swer to your inquiry in regard to my views on the new liquor law. It occurs to me thi3 law- is a huge and questionable experiment to raise money and at the same time satisfy the demands of those who think no liquor should be sold in the State. If the law is carried out as pro posed it will furnish employment for a few in each county and de posit in the State treasury a large amount of what some will think "blood, money." If the prohibi tionists in the State are satisfied with this bill it is evident they uever expected much from the Leg lature, and will, perhaps, regret the demand to stop.the traffic that resulted in the State itself becom ing a huge whiskey dealer for gain. Yours respectfully, H. ?. SHAW. Curryton> S. C. Newberry College Letter. MR. EDITOR: We are still mov ing on with our work in a very pleasant wa). Health ia generally good among the students. Mr. Ja? cob Long, who has been at. home sick ever since before Xmas, we ara glad to say, has returned. We are sorry to announce that Mrs. Jeffcoat, the superintendant of our boarding-hall, has been sick, but she is fas' recovering, ai.d we hope, .ire long, she will be well again. The boys have been very busy this week, sending valentines to one another-they consider it fine fun. This morning a Senior llmujrht to joke one of our Seminary stu dents by ofTei ing him a nickel to shine his shoes, the Seminary stu dent thought to back him out by taking him up; so the Seminary student shined the shoes and the Senior paid the niokel, to the amusement of the othor boyB. Of course there is nothing amusing in the proceeding exoept in the way they went at it. Dr. Powell, the Baptist mission ary to Mexico, lectured in the Bap tist church of this place, Wednes day evening and Tborsday morn ing. The Dr. gave us a very en couraging report of the work there*. He said since he had been there the whole government had been redeemed from Roman Catholic ism and the country is now open to Protestant denominations. The Dr. is very pleasant in his manner of speaking and,-so far as I can learn, all were highly pleased with his lecture. Our Y. M. C. A. is moving on much better than we expected, it is growing in interest every day. , SuccesB to the ADVERTISER and its many correspondents. Newberry, S. C. B. Y. M. C. A. Dots. Communicated Locals. On to-morrow's train for Colum bia it is expected that a large dele gation from Edgefield county to the State Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations will be as sembled. Strong, lusty fellows will go from the Associations at Edgefield, Johnston, Batesburg, Meeting Street, Good Hope, Mine Creek, and Mt. Willing.

All evangelical ministers and Chris tian young men, let it be remem bered, are invited, and will be en tertained free, and reduced rail road rates will be provided.. After the convention our County Secretary, Mr. John Lake, vti'A be gin a tour of the county in com pany with Mr. Robert Weidensall. the oldest member of the Interna tional Committee, a Christian worker of remarkable earnestness and power.

Mr. Weidensall will then visit the Edgefield Association on Sun day, and will meet with the County Committee on the first Monday in March at 7:30 p. m. in the Y. M. C. A. rooms at Edgefield. It is earnestly hoped that all the mem bers of the committee will be present. . 0 Augusta (Ga.) Herald-: About one-half the rice consumed in this trorjirrryris ot home production, but it is confidently predicted, unless the tariff duty be repealed, that withiu a brief period, the home market will be supplied at home. Louisiana is becoming beyond all comparison, the rice producer. Northern farmers are developing this industry enormously, and at great profit. Rice straw is first class forage, and in request for paper making. If the people of the North used more of this food they would be more healthy. A paris corresponde nt says th at a new use has been found for chrysanthemums besides looking at them. The flowers, he says, have been found to be a great table delicacy. They may be served raw or cooked. The Japanese way is to boil them with a clove, and serve them cold with truffles and other condiments. They are also said to be very delicious boiled and eaten hot. This newe will be a sad set back to the chrysanthe mum craze. Hereafter one might as will grow cabbage! or artichokes for ornamental purposes as Chrysanthemums. An old farmer a Tillman Hayseed-the other dav said that Governor Tillman must be a very smart man or "an outdacious" lucky man-that with all th? lies that are continually told on him, and the unscrupulous decisions of a partisan Judge, he always seems io whip the fight anyhow. "Tillman puts me in mind of two bull dogs I se3d fightin,'once", said our rural friend. " They got togeth er in a saw mill and hitched party close to a great big circular saw what was goin' at the rate of about 10,000 revolutions a minute ; and sich fightin-' you never did seo -they fit and fit, till finally old "Speck" backed up agin the saw which clipped him in too before you could say say Jack Robin son. The two bind legB fell on the other side of the saw but old "Speck's" head and two front legs jist. kept a fighttin', and they fit and fit and fit-and darned if didn't whip the fight!" "Now, that's jist the way it is with Till man," said the old farmer. "I be lieve if them thar Antis was to cut him in too old Ben's head and hands would keep a-gwine !"-Lau rens Herald.

' - i NO BACK-DOWN EN BEN He Will Fight The Railro Cases lu The Snpreme Court, The decision of the Urnl States Court waB made ye?terd and it was against the Sta This was anticipated and creal no surprise though it was the BI ject of conversation everywhere. Governor Tillman said anticipated the decision and th it was due to tyranny or ignorant That he anticipated it, is sho* by the following telegram whi< he sent to Ira B. Jones ear yesterday morning, before a d cisi?n was rendered : "Auticip-.ting an adverse d cisi?n and an order of imprisoi mentor fine of the sheriffs ui less they release property, I woul say that we must fight it out bol on habeas corpus and by appea If not jailed and committed p] forma and we can agree to releai them without weakening our eas do 60. Prepare papers and let n know what lawyers at Washingto should be retained to assist yoi Order sheriffs and treasurers \ stand firm and we will see thei out harmless." He had not seen the decisioi but merely a telegram stating il nature, when a Register reporte called on him, and could ? speak with certainty as to wB his course would be. He expect! [every sheriff to go to jail so ^tha the case could be fought out. He believed that every one o them would stick to the fight. I they were jailed, an appeal fo their release on habeas corpu proceedings -would iuimadiatel; be made to the Uuited State Court. This would necessitate ai immediate hearing, whereas ai appeal from the decision would not though he had no doubt th.i Supreme Court would advance ai appeal case on the docket. In the celebrated Virginit coupon cases the United Statei Court made an order that th< Attorney General should no institute proceedings against cer lain parties for nonpayment 01 taxes. The Attorney Genera instituted proceedings,neverthelesi and was adjudged guilty of con tempt. The United States Supreme Cour^ set aside the order of th( lower court, holding that it had n< righten the first place to enjoin ?ii office . . i... . obey'' The jo tV : " whi dictk if appealed, the Bupreiuo Ces would have to go into their meriti to decide whether the lower courl had jurisdiction. The whole point in these caseE is whether property in the handE of receivers is subject to being levied upon by the State for non payment of taxes. The people of the State, even the Autis, want the State to win, for they do not want to see the State's rights trampled under foot. Private parties and solvent corporations, who have to pay their taxes, do not want to see it declared that insolvent corpora tions have rights which they have not. If the Supremo Court decides that the sheriffs must pay their fines, they will have to pay, but he would see to it that they were reimbursed and suffered no per sonal pecuniary loss. He was not letting go worth a cent and would see the sheriffs out, If the order is such that we are not in contempt enough to get up to jail we will get in contempt enough to get there. If the United States Court de cides the same as the lower court, Congress will be appealed to for legislation on the subject. Last night, at a late hour, Gov. Tillman said he had not given up the fight by any means. Tho order of the court is such that it appears doubtful whether babeas corpus proceeding will be possible. If they are not, the fight will be made on an appeal to the Supreme Court from the decision of the lower court.-Register. It Costs You Nothing.
