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.

Notes from Faifa,
Ma. 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. Bigham, of AnticKm^-i^
been summoned, to the bed side of
her sick daughter, Mrs. John C.
Whatley.
Mr.-and Mrs. C. T. Hammond
were the guests of Mr. * and Mrs.
M-Timmermah last Saturday.
There is a weekly prayer meet
ing at " Whatley's school house
which seems to be. accomplishing
much good.

esterday was a gala day? with i
the people from Clarks MilT to]
Plum- Branch. The occasion was
one of great interest to thejpeoph^
of the vicinity. At ll.o'clock.tho
Capers Light Infantry - were in
spected by Adjutant and Inspector
General Farley, after which tbe
immense crowd partook of a nicely
prepared barbecued dinner. Gen.
Farley made a speech in the after
noon in which he complimented
the men highly for their efficiency
in drilling and the good condition
in which he found their arms.
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.""
. The company roll now shows a j
membership of over seventy mem
bers and there is more to come.
Some of our best people are taking |
great interest in the boys and are
doing all in their power to help
them in maintaining an efficient
j organization. The trustees of the j
Parksville high school have kindly
given them permission to use the
hall of the school building as a j
place of meeting.
Here's to the Capers Light In-1

News from the Delightful Town
of Parksville.
MR. EDITOR: Parksville is sit-1
uated on the P. 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. .
Again we have a medical pra

"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.

BARNWEEL, Juty,!.-About mid
light last nighty S/?K Knopf was
mo^a?d^?led, and R. B. McLe
more. 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 fact's as.brought out at ;he
inquest are that about midnight,

to whether or not he-was creatng
any disturbance. At any rate he
was arrested by- Mr. Owens, wio,
with the aid.of the night poli;e
man, T?. *!B.'Baxley, attempter, to
1 ake him to the guadhouse. Ag: ,iu
the evidence does not agree as
to
whether he offered any resistance
or not. ?*?
Mr. R. B: McLemore, who some
say was also intoxicated, offered
to put np a money, forfeit forf Mr.
Knopfes good conduct and Ap
pearance before the intendant.this
morning. ,-The marshal refused,
and succeeded in getting his niau
to the guardhouse . door, where the
shooting occ?rfecl. 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

wound. Another shot sti

The slayer, the deceased and
the wounded man each had a
pistol. 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."

Merit-A Warning.
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.,

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,"

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."
We are prepared to give all cases
special advice and attention by
correspondence throughout the
treatment and to look closely after
each case from beginning to finish ;
the object being to save the victim
from the Liquor Habit wherever
found, and to certainly make
Cure in every Case to which the
Remedy is sent. Nb additional
charge is made for such services.
Report blanks are sent with the
Remedy for Home Treatment, one
of which the patient is requested
to fill out every three days and re
turn to us, which is answered by a
personal letter of advice and in
structions. By this system of Re
port blanks we keep a close watch
over the treatment, taking charge
of it from beginning to finish, aDd
thus facilitats the cure.
The price of the Remedy is $9.00
per pair, and, being a liquid, must
be shipped by express.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get 2,500 Dollars
for Nothing.
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.
