Change of Date. ~ One of the things of annual oe- j renee in Edgefield county is the picnic of the Edgefield Light Dra goons at Centre Spring. It has been announced that their picnic this year would be on the 3rd day [ of August, but the date has been I changed to the 27th of July. This change of date has been made be j cause the first date given, the 3rd of August, would haye . conflicted witb the Baptist Sunday-school convention. In time of war the Light Dragoons would, if it should 1 be necessary and in the line of duty, ignore the claims of a Bap tist Sunday-school convention, but in time of peace they will pursue J the arts of peace and therefore de fer to the status as they find it.

EDITOR : As our section has failed to report for sometime, I will endeavor to say a few words in behalf of our "hard at work" farmers, who, since the excessive rains, are all smiles. Farms in our immediate vicinity are reported above the average of last year at this season, also are in a better condition, so you see, readers, if our little "spot" is quiet, we all are successfully su perintending our own business. . On the *19th inst, all our busi ness was laid aside, and many of our citizsns were in attendance at the Red Hill commencement, where they were very: .pleasantly entertained. Miss Willie Hudson? the principal, justly merits all the praise and compliments the pubr.. lie have bestowed upon her. Red! Hill's loss is another's gain, for Miss Willie's place cannot be easily filled. She. possesses a na tural faculty for controling . a school which seems to win the affection of both pupils and pa ?trons. Her unassuming, high toned courtesy seems to have gain--, ed the respect of all with whom she comes in contact. 'At iii ; Mr. Rufus Dorn is stilljrery ill. Mrs. M.

The people generally were much pleased with the speech and it is likely, if he does not get seriously wounded on his rounds, he will have to make terms here before long, but then the General is well versed in the art of peace as well as war and he himself says he has made a great many "narrow es capes."" .

R. & W. C. R. R., about thirty-three miles from that | noted city, Augusta, Ga., and inj the upper part of Edgefield county, S. C., about one and a half miles from the Savannah river. While our town will not? average rwith some of the larger ones in the TS tate in. population, vet we think that we have it very pleasant here with all of the advantages, and many more, than some towns ?hat o? ?umber us in population. As j railroad facilities, we cannot co plain, ?for we havya fpur- passey trains/ a"day. .twp. nO?tn ?ancF i t-outh, and by taking the noi bound train you will make conn tion at a distance of thirty-fi miles, with trains going north, a also with trains going north, ea south, and west; and'by trai south, at a distance of *thirty-thi miles, you arrive in Augusta, G where you have railroad outlets all part s south, west, north, a east;?hence you see very read: that Parksville should make complaints in this line, except the county seat, which is a d tance of about twenty miles, -1 having these benefits in the way railroad facilities-we will not COJ plain, but resort to the plan "Novosliomo" in travelling to tl point. Parksville has two stores knoi as the establishments of ' our cc genial little friend Mr. L. F. Do and Messrs. Gilchrist, Hammond Co., who are also very pleasan t store or out. It has been said that any ins tution will be a paying one if y can get the right men at the hel and of course when we take ic consideration the geography of tl upper Edgefield town knowi: that the Savannah is BO nean the west, also that these gent] men are doing such an extensi business, then we are forced to s knowledge that the man makes t business a paying one, and not t business a paying mau. .

Parksville, S. C. They Stole a Locomotive. Chicago Ledger. "The most successful, and at the same time, most unique civil service examination I know of, occurred during the war." said S. C. DeLand, of the examining board at the treasury, to a newspa per man. "The Confederacy was very much in need of a railway locomotive in order to operate their supply system,. It was in 1864 and they had not the means to buy an engine, so the invaria ble alternative arose-steal one. A baud of one hundred men was selected from Lee's army and placed under the command of > a big six-foot-four Georgian, who had been^ foreman of a stone quarry and was more or less skilled in the use of derricks, etc. He took his men up in Maryland and they tore up a section of the Baltimore and Ohio railway track flagged the next train and with nothing on earth save plenty of rope, those one hundred men carried the locomotive fifty-two miles over hills, across streams, through bogs and woods, until they struck a line the Confederacy had built. Then they ran the engine down to Virginia. When the president of the Baltimore and Ohio heard of the feat he couldn't believe it.-He went out and per sonally inspected the scene; went over the route and declared it the most wonderful feat of engineering ever accomplished. After the war he delegated a man *o find the leader of the band. He was located in Georgia. Mr. Garrett sent for him and on the strength of that single feat made him roadmasler pf his entire System of Railroads, ; "Any man that can ?pick *up an engine with fishing lines and carry it over a mountain has pas sed his examination with me,' said he.

Blighty wounded by J. Gary Dweps.who was. temporarily acting ns town mashal. The coroner's inquest was held in tn? court house this morning, mdlhe. jury rendered the fol lowing verdict : "That S. D. Knopf cam? to his death from the effects of pieitol shot wound, at the hands of J.*G. Owens ; and so the' jurors aforesaid do say that the aforesaid L G. Owens, in manner and forat aforesaid, S. D. Knopf then there, feloniously did kill, against the deace and dignity of the Sftate aforesaid." -j This latter part of the verdicf is unusual with coroner's juries, but the finding Was in accordance wpth the instructions of Coroner H|P. DycnVs, "that if the jury.- decided that the killing was felnous, they shouM say so.

The prisoner was inside the guardhouse wi en the first shot was fired. Oue fit ness says this shot was firejl^y the deceased, while others assert positively than he did not fire at all. . ' ' l\ There were three or four sn?ts fired one of- which struck Mr. McLemore just above the night temple, inflicting only a spalp uck wound.

At least two of these were used. The. jury seem to think that Owens fired them both. McLemore asserts that he was shot by his own pistol, Owent ing jerked it out of his hip pock There was an empty chamber in Knopf's pis tol also, but that is said to have benn fired yesterday afternoon. Owens gave himself up to the sheriff immediately after the shooting occured. All of the parties concerned are white. About the only undisputed state ments connected with the affair are that Knopf ia dead, McLemore is wounded, and that whiskey was at the bottom of the whole trouble?.. Let the Rich Bear Their Share ... -. of Burdens. . 4** --- By A. G. Haygood, In Independent. One-of'the occasions" of dis content among the masses of working, people in the United States to-day, say nothing of European .countries, "is the firm conviction poor people have that the very rich do not bear their share of the burdens of -govern ment. The General Government derives its income from a tariff on im ported goods and the tax, collected | by the internal revenue depart ment, from certain domestic products, chiefly tobacco and liquors. What proportion of the money the tariff laws collect is paid by the laboring class, is more than this writer knows-he suspects they pay most of it ; there are so many poor people. Experts could give a rational estimation'if they took the pains. That the laboring people pay. most of the internal revenue cannot be questioned; and this is no honor to them. If the laboring people really knew, how much they pay in both forms of taxation they would at first be stunned; then they would ex plode. When they do, it will be no smali matter for discussion at dinner tables-between courses. When it comes to State, county, and municipal taxes, workingmen believe sincerely and profoundly that they pay more than their share. While they believe this their discontent abides; while they believe it every other occasion for misunderstanding and 'conflict between capital and labor is exaggerated,laud every strife is e asperated. At such a time as tl he is silly who is content to lea unremoved any removable c casion of antagonisnf between ] bor and capital. When a very rich man dies ai his will shows his disposition many millions, while the tax I?? only show that he paid taxes < a hundred thousand or so, peor, cannot' be persuaded that he bc his part of public burdens. Dc any rational man believe that '. did? We are told that the very ric as a rule, have their money invc ted in corporations, and that t head managers return the proper of the stockholders and that t tax is paid by the company treasurer. Doubtless there is tru in this statement. But, right or wrong, the mass of the people do not believe th the great corporations, represe ting millions on millions, < actually pay into the pub! treasury their proportion of t! taxes. Does anybody believe i Do the great corporations belie it themselves If they do pi their share the men who compo these corporations, of all men the world, have reason to make so plainjhat the people may s it and be sure ot it. For the pe pie do not believe it. They a firmly persuaded that by the ai of bookkeeping and other diplomt and influential methods the b rich and . the great corporatioi pay a great deal less than the proportion of the taxes necessai to maintain government and pr tection for the wealthy as well ? the poor; and that by bearing le than their share of public burdei they increase the load of tl "common people" and of the poe who already have more than th( nan bear with comfort, who on know how to make honest retun of taxable property and pay tl amount that comes to them. We are told that many hundri millions are in non-taxab Government bonds. Nobody wi knowB what he is talking aboi proposes to tax the bonds issue for the national defense ; but tl state ment does not make life burden less to the poor. All these things are against' tl peace we long to see in social o der. They add impulse to tl movement that organizes lab< against capital. They are fuel I the red-hot fire that threatei social conflagration. tna\R ilfie'system of governmei and business under wMch7we-~ir1 -"makes," by its natural operatio "the rich richer and poor poorer there will be no peace: only misleading truce now and the as the convenience or necessity of those in conflict may mat desirable. It is not in huma nature that there should be peac as long as this formula of dh contented labor is true, or as lon as the people believe it is true. 1 it. be true there ought to be n peace till the wrong is righted. When a man goes out of th i world owning many millions o dollars up till his last gasp, an* the people do not see how am where he pays his proportion o the taxes, so long will discon tented men, so long will just an< good men, raise questions tha turn the search-lights upon tb whole system under which we "d< groan, being burdened." We may recognize the geniui that develops vast industries an( wisely handles great properties and understand full well that sucl careers add, in an indirect way, tc the ' general ' welfare, without sc blinding our moral vision as tc ['call evil good and good evil" against which bad custom ("the fatal Imposture and Force oi Words," Robert Southey names it) an an?ient prophet thundered ae a wrong to mank ind anet an offence .to Heaven. Let every man protected by Government pay his share of the expense of government. If A is worth $1,000, and pays one per cent." to government,hi8 tax receipt shows that he paid $10; if B is worth $10,000,000, let his receipt show $100,000. There should be no difficulty about this. A full statement -of what B does pay would be interesting and instruc tive reading. Whether it would be of a pacifying sort would depend upon the text. This discussion does not come within the diameter of the earth's orbit of the Gospel principle that the rich ought to bear a larger proportion of the cost of civiliza tion than the poor. For some mysterious reason law-makers seem to believe that government cannot lay one per cent, upon a cottage and two per cent, upon a palace. The principle of ad valorem se?ms to be considered as a sort of sacred "ark of the covenant.' But no matter what law-makers believe, or.political economists teach, the.Gospel law-and this ?B the "law of life, pre-eminently: civilized life-is plain enough; people should pay in proportion to their ability to pay*. The Gospel law lays the burden of the percentage of giving on conscience, and guages liberality, not by what is given, but by what is left. The poor man with a $1,000 home and rarely more than $2,000 income, paid $10 tax- and had $990 left, pinching all round to live at-all, and not a dollar for increase. And nearly always this poor man has a houseful of child ren ; generally this very rich man very few. Let an illustration from an actual case end this paper.. In a Western State is a great land owner -his name could be given if it served any useful end-who pays taxes on a hundred thousand acres of land. It is within a few miles of a growing and already populous city. He is allowed-under the prevailing iniquities and rascali ties-to "give this land in" at $10 per acre ; his selling price for it is $150 per acre; he is actually selling twenty acre lots at this rate. When the buyer puts a cabin-costing from $100 to $300 -upon his little twenty-acre home he is taxed according to the worth of his property! When the great land-?baron does not actually name the value of his land for taxation, he is practically allowed to dictate "the figure" to the assessor. Why? Because he is rich. Th i s sort of. injustice makes "wise men mad." If one of these poor men took the big man's place and the rich man hie, clamors about injustice would rend the skies. St Paul teaches masters to give to their servants that which is '.just and eqal." Government should not do less. The inequality of public burdens is at the bottom of tho movement toward a '-'graduated income tax." Oxford, Ga.

To THE PUBLIC : As a inatter of justice to ourselves and to the rep utation of Dr. Leslie E. Keeley's I Double Chloride of Gold Reme dies, for the cure of the liquor, opium, morphine, and tobacco dis eases, and Neurasthenia, we warn the public that these remedies are used by no institution or sanita rium in the United States except | those established by our company, under the uniform name of "The Keeley Institute." All others claiming to use Dr. Keeley's Remedies or formula are frauds and impostors. The Keeley Institutes establish ed in various parts of the United States now number ninety, with | three in Europe, where the Keeley Treatment is administered and the Keeley Remedies sold. We, how ever, caution all to examine well and know that they are dealing with genuine representatives, au- j thorized by us, before taking treat ment or purchasing remedies. The misleading establishments use the name of "Bi-Chloride of Gold,"*or similar titles. The news papers often fail to discriminate sufficiently to know that they are imitators. This is a matter of pub lic welfare, and hence this warn ing, Respectfully, THE LESLIE E. KEELEY Co., CURTIS J. JUDD, Sec. and Treas. Dwight, 111., Dec. 15,1892. For literature or further infor mation regarding the Keeley Treat ment, address THE KEELEY INSTITUTE OP S. C., AT COLUMBIA. THE KEELEY INSTUTE. Endorsed By The. S Govern ment. The efficacy of Dr. Leslie ET Keeley's Double Choloride of Gold Remedies hass been so pub licly acknowledged and thoroughly recognized throughout the civilized world, that the recent endorsement by the Government removes all questions of doubt as to their virture and genuineness. On February 13, 1892, General'Wm. B, Franklin, President of the Board of Managers of the National Military Homes for Disabled Soldiers and Sailors, authorized a contract with The Leslie E. Keeley Co -for the use of Dr. Keeley's Remedies in the seven Natinal and twenty-one State Homes in the United States. . . General Franklin, in a letter regarding this contract and Dr. Keeley's Remedies, speaks em phatically of "the great good the future has in store for the un fortunate victims of Alcoholism," giving personal thanks to Dr. Keeley for enabling the Board of Managers to treat veterans under their charge.'.

THE KEELEY 0 HOME TREATMENT. Acceding to the wishes of many physicians and others, Dr. L. E. Keeley has placed the Double Chloride of Gold in the form of a Home Treatment for the benefit of those who, for any reason, cannot avail themselves of the Sanitarium Treatment. Its merits have been fully tested for more than twelve years, and we have no hesitation in pronouncing it to be what the press has already named "AN INFALLIBLE CUBE FOR DRUNKENNESS."

The Winner Has a Clear Gift of a Sn?all Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents that may Bring Them in Still more. Would you like to make twenty-five hundred dollars? If you would, read carefully what follows and you may see a way to do it. The Press Clams Company devotes much attention to patents. It has handled thousands of applications for inventions, but it would like to handle thousands mere. There is plenty of inventive talent at large in this coun try, needing nothing but encourage ment to produce pratical results. That encouragement the Press Claims Company proposes to give. NOT SO riAKD AS IT SEEMS. A patent strikes most people as an appallingly formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell ; that he must devote years to delving in complicated mecbancial problems and that he must4 spend a fortune on delicate experiments before he can get a new device to a patentable de gree of perfection: This delusion the company desires to dispel. It desires to get into the head, of th J public a clear comprehension of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and expensive inventions that bring the best returns to their author?, but the little, simple, and cheap ones-the things that seem so absurdly trivial that the average citizen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the attention cf the PatentJOfflce. - Edison says that the profits he has received from th? patents on all his marvelous inventions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of his ex periments. But the man who conceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber cord to a childes ball, so that it would come back to the hand when thrown made a fortune out of his scheme. The modern sewing machine is a miracle of ingenuity-the product of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through a hundred and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result rests upon the simple device of putting the eye of the needle at the point instead of at the other end. THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST VALU ABLE.. ?^Comparatively lew peopla \ regard themselves as Inventors, but'almost everybody has been struck, at one time or another, with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce some of the little frictions of life. Usually such are ideas dismissed without further thought. "Why don't the railroad company make its car windows so that they can be slid up and down without breaking the passengers' backs?" exclaims the traveler. "If I were running the road I would make them in sr.ch a way." ,'What was the man that made this saucepan thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never had to work over a stove, or he would have known how it ought to have been fixed." "Hang such a collar button 1" growls the man who is late for breakfast "If I were in the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or, gouge out the back of my neck." And then the various miffrrf""; for ^gafr^boitt-ttt?fF grievancet and begin to think of something else. If they would sit down at the next convenient opportuni.y, put their ideas about car windows, saucepana,and collar buttons into practical shape, and then apply for patents, they might find themselves as independently wealthy as the man, who invented the iron umbrella ring or the one who patented^the fifteen puzzle. A TEMPTING OFFER." To induce people to keep track of their bright ideas and see what there is in them, the Press. Claims Company has resolved to offer a prize. To the person whs submits to it the simplest and most promising inven tion, from a commercial point of view, the company will give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, addition to refunding the fees for securing the patent. *., ^:asirrr; It will also ?advertise the invention free of charge. This offer is subject to the following conditions :" Every competitor must obtain a patent for his invention through the company. He must first apply fora preliminary search, the cost of which will be five dollars. Should this search, show his invention to be unpatentablc he can withdraw without further ex pense. Otherwise he will be expected to complete his application and take out a patent in the regular way. The total expense, including Government and Bureau fees,will be seventy dollars. For this, whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a patent that ought to be a valuable property 'o him. The prize will be awarded by _jury consisting of three reputable patent attorneys of Washington. In tending competitors should fill out the following blank, and forward it with their application : "-,-, 1892. "I submit the within described in vention in competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar Prize offered by the Press Claims Company. NO BLANKS IN THI8 COMPETITION. This is a competition of rather an unusual nature. It is common to offer prizes for the best story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the competitors risking the loss of their labor and the successful one merely [selling his for the amount of the prize. But the Press Claims Company's offer is something entirely different. Each person is asked merely to help himself, and the one who helps himself to the best ad vantage is to be rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a stimulus to do something that would be well worth doing without it. The architect whose competitive plan fora club house on a certain corner is not accepted has spent his labor on something of very little use to him. But the person who patents a simple and useful device in the Press Claims Company's competi tion' need not worry if he fail to secure the prize. He has a substantial result to show for his work-one that will command its value in thc market at any time. The plain man who uses any article in his daily work ought to know bet ter how to improve it than the mechanizal expert who studies it only' from the theoretical point of view. Get rid of the idea that an improve ment can be too simple to be worth patenting. The simpler the better. The person who best succeeds in combining' simplicity and popularity, will get tho Press Claims Compay's twenty-live hundred dollars. The responsibility of this company may be judged from the fact that its stock is neld by about three hundred of the leading newspapers of the United States.
