THOS. J. ADAMS, PROPR??2TOR. EDGEFHSLD, S. C., THURSDAY, ? _RCH 30, 1893. VOL. LVIII. NO. 9. BILL NYJVS SPARTACUS. Ye call me chief, and ye do well to call him chief who for twelve long years has met in the arena every shape of man or'beast that the broad empire of Rome could furnish and yet has never lowered his arm. I do not say this to brag, however, but simply to show that I am the star thumper of the en tire outfit. If there be one among you who can say that ever in public fight or Private brawl my actions did belie ^ m "vords, let him stand forth and say it and I will spread him around over the arena till the coroner will have to gather him up with a blot ting paper. If there be three in all your company dare face me on the bloody sands let them come, and I will construct upon their, ... physiognomy such cupolas and royal cornices and Corinthian cap vitals and entablatures, that their own mothers would pass them by in the broad light of high noon unrecognized. And yet I was not always thus, a hired butcher-the savage chief of still more savage meu. My aucestors came from old Sparta ; the county-seat of Marcus Aurelius county, and settled among the vine-clad hills and cotton groves of Sarsaparilla'. My early life ran quiet as a clear brook b} which I sported. My boyhood was one long happy summer day. We stole the Roman muskmellou and put split sticks on the tail of the Roman dog, and life was one continuous hallelujah. When at noon I led the sheep beneath the shade and played "Sweet Bye and Bye" on my """shepherd's flute, their was another Spartan youth, ihe son of a neigh - bor to join me in the pastime. We led our flocks to the same pasture, aud together picked the large red ' nut* out of our indeptriW'^10- -? ?nctwicnes. , One evening, after the sheep had been driven into the corral and we were all seated beneath the persimmon tree that shaded our humble cottage, my grandeire, an old man, was telling of Marathon and Leuctra and George Frauds Train and Dr. Mary Walker and other great men, and how a little band of Spartaus, under General Howard, had withstood the regular army. I did not then know what war was, but my cheeks burned, I know not why, and I thought what a glorious thing it would be to leave the reservation and go on the warpath. But my mother kissed my throb bing temples and bade me go soak my head and think no more of those old tales and savage wars. That very night the Romans land ed on our coasts. They pillaged the whole country, burned the agency buildings, demolished the ranch, rode off the stock, tore down the smoke house, and rode their war horses over our cucum ber vines. To-day I killed a man in the arena, and when I broke his patent clasps and looked upon him, be hold 1 he was my friend. He knew me, smiled some more, said "Ta, ta," and ascended the golden stair. I bagged of the Protor that I might be allowed to bear away the body and have it packed in ice. Ay, upon my bended knees, amidst the dust and blood of the arena, I begged this poor boon, and the Protor answered "Let the car rion rot. There are no noble men but Romans and Ohio men. Let the show go on. Bring in the bob tail lion from Abyssinia." And the assembled maids and matrons and the rabble shouted in deri sion. And so must you, fellow gladia tors, and so must I, die like dogs. To-morrow wo are billed to ap pear at the Coliseum at Rome, and reserved seats are being sold at the corner of Third and Corso streets for our moral and instructive per formance while I am speaking to you. Ye stand here like giants as ye are, but to-morrow some Roman Adonis with a sealskin cap will pat your red brawn and bet his sesterces upon your blood. 0, Rome! Rome I Thou hast been indeed a tender nurse to me. Thou hast given to that gentle timid shepherd lad who never knew a harsher tone than a flute note, muscles of iron and a heart like the adamantine lemon pie of the railroad lunch room. Thou hast taught him to drive his sword through plated mail and links of rugged brass, and warm it in the palpitating gizzard of his foe, and to gaze into the glaring eyeballs of the fierce Numidiau lion, even as the smooth-cheeked Roman Senator looks into the laughing eyes of the girls in the Treasury department. And he shall pay thee back till the rushing Tiber is red as froth ing wine, and in its deepest ooze thy life-blood lies curdled. You doubtless hear the gentle murmur of my bazoo. Hark ! Hear ye the lion roaring in nie den?-'Tis three days since he tasted flesh, but to-morrow he will have gladiator on toast, and don't you forget it, and he will sling your vertebo about his cage like the star pitcher of a champion nine. If ye are brutes, then stand here like fat oxen waiting for the butcher's knife. If ye are men, arise and follow me. Strike down the warden and the turnkey, overpower the police and cut for the tall timber. 0, comrades 1 Warriors ! ! Glad iators! 1 1 If we be men, let us die like meu, beneath the blue sky and by the still waters, and be buried ac cording to Guuter instead of hav ing'our bones polished off by Numidian lions amid the groans and hisses of a sn id'? Roman pop ulace. Abandoned Land Department. Just about three years ago the Abandoued Land Department was created by the Sinking Fund Commission, and Col. James G. Gibbes, one of the best and most energetic civil engineers in the State was placed at the head of it as the State "abandoned land agent." \ The object of the State iii ere- J ating the department was to have 1 mW?T^^e^iV^?e^State hu?t?oT ap, sold and placed on the tax books. Colonel Gibbes was not ' to receive any salary from the State, but was to be allowed a , commission on all lands placed on the tax books, defraying hi? own expenses in the search for them. He sat to work, employed as sistants and ha? ever since been . hard at work. j He said yesterday that he had up to date succeeded in placing about-in round numbers-one million acres of such lands, here tofore not known to exist, on the tax books of the several counties in the State. He says this ia about all of such lands m the State and he is about ready to win up the affairs of the department. He says the lands now being found are so poor and are of sucb low grade that it ?does not pay him or auyone else the actual expenses of pursuing the search further. He says even as it is, about half of the lands that have beeu found and sold are so poor that they will be gradually dropped off the tax books, and in the next five years will have te be placed there again. He says he will hare a few sales in Berkeley, Horry and Greenville counties on April salesday, but they will be about the last. Colonel Gibbes says that it has not been, and is now, only the abandoned lands which have been escaping taxation. He say? there are hundred of owners of tracts of 1,000 acree who return only 700 acres, and pay on that much. The State has no township maps giving surveys which show the exact number of acres in a township, and it has to accept the inevitable result, being too poor to have such surveys made.-State. The Antis Organizing. A statement wai recently publish ed from Columbia as follows; The In dustrial and Wage workes' Democratic League recently organ ized ' to fight the Till man administration and its "various class legislation attempted and enacted by the Legislature at its recent session has gone to work in the most systematic manner, enrolling names and making plans for the next campaigu. Substantial books containing information concerning the purposes of the league and several hundred blank pages for the enrollment of members and keeping the minutes of sub-league meetings have been printed. Al ready 1,000 of these books are in use in formed leagues. Secretary Carlisle has appointed his son Chief Clerk of the Treasury with a Balary of $3,000. ARKANSAW WITNESS. "What is your name?" asked a United States attorney of an old "squatter," who had been sum moned before the court as a wit ness. "Wnich name, Squire?*' "Your right name, of course." "I ain't got none." "Wh?t, you don't mean to Bay that you haven't got a name?" "Oh, nb sir." "This summons says that your name is Ananias Peters. Is that so?" "Reckon it is." "Thought you didn't have a right name?" "I ain't." "Look here, sir. Don't trifle with this court. Your prevarica tion will not be tolerated here. Why did you say that Ananias Peters was not }rour right^me?" "'Case it wan't right to name a boy Ananias, therefore it ain't a right name. The Bible, I believe, sorter called Ananias a liar." "Which," interposed the judge, "makes it peculiarly applicable in your case." . "Look a-here, judge, I don't want to prog ic with you, 'case you've got the upper hand of me, but I don't want you to hit me with the Bible. A man's in a bad enough fix when yer fling the law at him, but when yer fling the law an' the gospel both, he ain't got no show." "Where do you live?" asked the attorney.. "At home." "But where is your home?" "In the neighborhood o' whar I live." The judge turned away to con- ] jeal a smile, and the attorney giv ing the "squatter" a lojk of ex- 1 :reme severity,said, "Do youknow *3??Ye7sTrTl?mhe7e." "You won't be here much longer, lnleBS you answer my questions." ' .Tm answerin' your questions, 'Squire. Go on with your rat kill ii'." "Where were you when Mr. Jaseu, ;he defendant, cut timber from government land?" "When did he do the cuttin'?" "That's what I want to find out. [ think it was sometime in Octo ber." "Wal, sometimes in October I was in one place an' sometimes in another." "Did you ever see him cutting government timber?" "I believe I did." "When?" "Durin' the war when he was in the army." "None of your foolishness now. Didn't you come along the road one day in October and talk to the defendant while he was choppin' down a tree?" "No, sir." "Remember you are under oath. So you didn't see him while he was chopping down a tree?" "Didn't say, that, 'Squire, for I did see him choppin' the tree." "Did you stop and talk to him?" "Yes/sir." "Thought you said you didn't stop and talk to him?" "Didn't say it." "You did." "Didn't say it." "What did you say?" "Said I didn't talk to him while he was choppin', fur when I come up an' spoke, he quit cheppin'." "How long have you been living here?" "Too long." a How many years?" "Been here ever since my oldest boy was born." "What year was he born?" "The year I come here." "How old is your boy?" "Ef he had lived, he would have been the oldest until yit, but, as he died, Jim's the oldest." "How old is Jim?" "He ain't as old as the one what died." "Well, how old was the one that died?" "He was older than Jim." "What do you do here for a living?" "Eat." That will do," said the lawyer. "Is thero anything else) ou want to know?" asked the witness.

A white-feathered chicken ii search of worms strayed from th yard of a Feeding Hills fanne early Sunday afternoon, and wa soon scratching merrily in th black loam of a swamp near by A big hen hawk that was sail inj lazily along far up in the sky tip ped an eye downward and saw th< little white chick. The hawk hac had no dinner and was very hungry The big, hungry hawk suddenlj shot down like a stone, and before the chick could run or cluck, 01 even flap her funny little wings, she was in the hawk's cruel claws, The farmer was cutting cornstocke in a wagon near the barn, and did not see the hawk with flapping wings rise into the air, clutching tight the little white chick, fright ened and still. But perched upon some trees the other side of the swamp were eight black crows. They had seen itali. Putting their heads together these crows con sulted hurriedly, and then, with a loud, defiant chorus of "caw, caw, caw," they took wing. The bird of prey bad not risen fifty feet into the air before the crows had completely surrounded him. They pecked at him above, below in front and behind. They would rise many feet above and shoot downward one after the other at the hawk with the swiftness and celerity of swallows. The hawk, burdened with the breathless chick, could not endure the savage onset,, and soon sank among the trees. But the crows, crying "caw, caw," more defiantly than before, beat upon him still, and at last the hawk dropped the chick and an grily dashed upward again. For minutes the._baftlp raffvrt cny'lr, ais defense, but the crows, using :he same tactics, gradually drove him higher and higher still, until finally discomfited and thoroughly beaten the bird of prey sailed off to the South, whither he was fol lowed miles and miles by two or more pugnacious crows. The others DOW flew in the opposite direction and disappeared. Meanwhile what had become of the little white chick to whose res cue these eight crows had so chiv alrously gone? With feathers sadly ruffled and her breast black with the Blime of the bog into which she had dropped from the claws of the hawk, the dazed chick was slowly and painfully hopping back through the swamp to the maternal roost. An Independent Miller. Wide Awake. When Frederick built his fa mous palace of Sans Souci, there happened to be a mill that greatly hampered him in the execution of his plans, and he asked the miller for how much he would sell it. The miller replied that for a long series of years his family had owned the mill, which had passed from father to son, and he would not sell it any price. The king used every solicitation, offered to build a mill in a better place and pay him besides any sum he might demand, but the obstinate miller persisted in his determination to preserve the inheritance of his ancestors. Irritated at last by his conduct, the king sent for him and said in an angry tone : "Why do you refuse to sell your mill, notwitnstanding all the ad vantages I have offered you?" The miller repeated his reasons. "Do you know," continued the king, "that I co ld take it without giving you a penny?" "Yes" rejoined the miller, calmly, "if it were not for the chamber of justice at Berlin." The king was so flattered by this answer, which showed that he was incapable of an act of injustice, that he dismissed the miller with out further entreaty and changed the plan of his garden. Liquor Commissioner Appointed. New? and Courier. COLUMBIA, S. C., March 21.-Mr. D. H. Traxler, of Timmousville, was to-day appointed Commis sioner of the State Dispensary. The appointment is to go into im mediate effect. Mr. Traxler will be here until to-morrow, and will then go to his home and return next week to take charge of the preliminary arrangemonts for the opening of the State Dispensary. Mr. Traxler appears to be a good man for the place and he has very good recommendations. He was. born in Charleston forty-three years ago and in 1869 went from Charleston to Timmonsville, where he has since resided. For about eighteen years he was the railroad agent of the Atlantic Coast line at Timmonsville. From 1883 to 1889 ?fee served as'Treasurer for Darling ton county, filling the office to the entire satisfaction of all parties. At the same time ie was interested in a mercantile business at Tim monsville, which was getting so large that.he found it to his ad vantage to retire from office and devote himself to his business. As to his politics he said that he was fully identified with the Re formers, although he has never taken an active part in the politi calrcontests. He said that he has always been partial to the ideas of the "Reformers. JAIM Traxler in his talk gives every indication of being a pretty clear-headed man, and he expects to~iun the Dispensary on strictly . business principles. The Dispen sary headquarters, he said, would be in the Agricultural Hall. How ?To Keep Irish Potatoes. < Tfie Yorkville Enquirer gives the plan pursued by Dr. John G. Black, a successful. farmer at Blacksburg, in keeping . Lush 1 potatoes through the winter, which is as follows : "As a rule, the Irish potatoes preserved in this country are vatery and not as good for - table ise aa those which come from the North. This is not on account of ;he difference in climate, or anv iling of that kind; but the fault is I with the.common method of pre- 1 lerving. The idea is to prevent inch chemical changes as will lestroy the starch. This can best ? >e don?j>y the use pf. ff cool dark \ jeilArJrtr-?5iJB?* ?1^^J^T-^???^~?Z ' ventilation. To get more room, it 1 s a good idea to have tiers of ihelving on the inside, one tier ? ;welve or fifteen inches above the 1 :.ther. On digging the potatoes, i Dut them on these shelves to a lepth of about four inches. Then seep the door closed tight during . ;he day, and open at night until l ibout the first of December, when 1 ;he potatoes may be put in barrels md headed up. After that, of ' course the door should remain jlosed. Every week or two it is < accessary to go over the potatoes ? m the shelves and throw out all < that are faulty. If treated in this way, the potatoes are bound to be as mealy as could be desired and the flavor will bo delightful. I 1 have sold about eighty bushels of i potatoes this winter at a dollar a bushel, and the purchasers con sider them in every respect equal to the Northern potatoes." A Reminiscence of Gen. Beau gard. Gen. Rosser is my authority in the narration of au incident at the first battle of Manassas, in which he played a somewhat ridi culous part. Af ter. the rout com mended, Rosser, who was comman ding artillery that day, was so fortunate as to cut off and capture about 1200 Yankees. Not knowing what disposition to make of them, he despatched one of his aidep, to inform the cammanding general (Beauregard) of the capture, and to receive his commands in the premises. Beauregard saw the messenger advancing, with a small guard and the prisoners a little in the roar, and as the blue very de cidedly outshone the gray, the General, surrounded by a small coterie of officers only, thought that the Yankees must be after him. As he quickened his pace in another direction the couriers (with their prisoners) quickened theirs, and the race was a two mile one before Beauregard ascer tained the fact that he was ruuning from his own men and "captured enemies." He was very angry, and it was with difficulty that they could cool him down enough to take a reasonable view of the mat ter and to recognize the fact that the mistake was his own. The city council of Newberry has put the tax up to five mills. The shortage of revenue caused by the abolition of barrooms necessi tated the increased levy. General Eaton, United States Commissioner of Education,states that eighty per cent, of the crime of this country results from in temperance and that ninety-five per cent, of our depraved youth are born of drunken depraved parents. Cling Desperately to Life. New York Ledger. Cats, according to the old tra dition, have nine lives, but they are not the only creatures that enjoy such a plurality. Infusoria have been dried and restored to life by moistening af ter remaining inert dust for 27 years, and the drying resuscitation has been successfully tried ll times on one lot of rotifers. Frogs and mrmo fishes suffer no injury from freezing solid, while in a few cases even warm blooded animals have been restored to life after apperant death from freezing. Courage of Luther. ' As Luther drew near the door which was about to admit him in to the presence of judges (the Diet of Worms), he met a valiant knight, the celebrated George of Taeundsburg, The old general, seeing Luther pass, tapped him on the shoulder and shaking his : head, blanched in many battles, Baid kindly: "Poor monk, poor monk ! thou art now going to make a nobler stand than I or any * jther captains have ever made in ' the bloodiest of battles. But if 1 thy cause, is just, . and thou art 1 ?ire of it, go forward in God's name.and fearnothing. God will not forsake thee*" * A noble tribute of repect paid 1 oy the courage of the sword to the * jourage ' of the mind.-D'e * lubigne. ? The Farmer's Garden. t Withthe majority of farmers the garden is of very small considera tion and its entire management is . left to the'good wife. It consists of a patch ot a few rode of ground in jome corner, andji anally sliadngad - ^Ta^T?wtToT??T-collards-not > iSnfcient to support ?the table for i month. The farmers garden should be \ large enough to grow not only an tbundance of vegetables for the t family, but also small fruits, such LS strawberries, raspberries, blaok- J aerries, and grapes. This will take at least one-half an acre of ground. This should be well loca ted if good returns are expected, j rhe'land should^be well ^drained, md the soil a sandy loam. The garden should be longer j than it is wide, so as to have long rows in cultivation and the most af the work done with the horse. You cannot apply too much ( manure if it is properly worked I into the ground. Select the best < di seed and only buy of reliable \ Beedmen. ' - i Dick's After Thougt. ] A certain celebrated Southern 1 judge, who was not a believer ic. re vealed truth, was in the habit of twitting his body servant on re ligious matters. "Dick, he said one day, you say the devil besets ; you ; now I want to know why he lets a sinner like me off free?" Dick could not tell why, but the next day he went duck shooting with his master. The first time the judge fired into the flock he killed two or three and wounded as many more. At once the hunter threw down his gun and with sticks and stones tried to make sure of his wounded game but paid no attention to the dead ones floating down stream. "Massa," called Dick," it jist coma to my mind why de debil troubles me so much, sah, an let you 'lone. You like de dead duck ; he dun got you safe, sah : I is de wounded duck ; I is tryin' to get away, an' he feared I gwine do lt. If you wuz to flutter a little, sah and mek out you gwint git 'way, I spece' he mek a big splash arter you, same he do arter nie. sah." How much Dick had to do with the judge's finding the truth, Dick's biographer does not know but master and man at length sat together at the Lord's table-Well Spring. Suit has been brought by the State against the city of Columbia to collect taxes from 1877 to 1891 on the city hall, amounting to $1,391,3 and the 15 per cent penalty. Human nature in its savage state, is very much the same the world over. Lee Watson, a colored planter near Memphis, was as saulted and robbed by a negro. He was arrested. A large mob s^on collected and overpowered the sheriff and lynched the wouid-be murderer. Th^y were all negroes and acted just like white folks. I The "Agricultural College. The trustees of Clemson College at their meeting last week, de cided to establish a system of water works and sewerage, and the work will be done under the direct supervision of Professor Newman. The buildings in course of erection will be completed by July 1st, ready for the opening of the college. No elections were held for president or resident physician. Over 300 students are certain to attend the college, and the board .xpects to accommodate all who apply. Every student will be re quired to wear a military uniform, and the dress suit is to be Con federate grey cloth, with black stripe on trousers. The contract for uniforms was awarded to the A. G. Means Company of Ander son, who will furnish dress and fatigue uniforms at $23./5, to be paid in cash with the entrance fee.-Mountaineer. Why Easter Eggs Are Boiled. In Christian^countries, from the :ourlh century, the church prohi jited the use of eggs during the brtydays of Lent; but, as the lens did not cease to-lay, a large man ti ty of eggs were found to lave accumulated at the end of he. period of adstinence. Thew vere usually given to the children, tnd, in order to render them more ittractive, they were dyed with ;ay colors or otherwise ornamented V favorite game was to knock two iggs together,and whichever broke >ecame the property of him who lad tho other. Of course this would lot profit much if the eg?s were n a fluid state, and thence came he custom of boiling them hard. -rrewHl ays : "Bacon is retailing at his place from 12c. to 16c. per lound.and yet some people say 'it s cheaper to buy meat than to aise it.'

So Editor Gonzales' advocacy of sandidate Cleveland was not disin :erested after all, for we find him >pportuning President Cleveland :or an appointment as consul to shanghai, China.

Where does our brother now stand? He opposed the Movement and is now asking an appointment at hands of Mr. Cleveland.

Without gowns or bands, without a choir or a fiddle, without an organ or a drum, he drew the largest congregation in the world and ?held it for a life time.
