One of the things of annual oc

picnic of the Edgefield Light Dra
goons at Centre Spring. It has
i been announced that their picnic
I this year would bo 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
? cause the first date given, the 3rd
of August, would haye. conflicted
th the Baptist Sunday-school
convention. In time of war the
Light Dragoons would, if it should
be necessary and in the line of
duty, ignore the claims of a Bap

in time of peace they will pursue
the arts of peace and therefore de

Notes from Faifa.
MB. 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 pub
lic have bestowed upon her. Red
Hill's loss is another's gain, for
Miss Willie's place cannot be
easily filled. Shem 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. .';- - -'

esterday was a gala day| with
the people from Clarks Hill to
Plum-*Branch. The occasion was
one of great interest to tjhejpeopje
of the vicinity. At ll o'clock the
Capers Light Infantry- were in
spected by Adjutant and Inspector
Greneral Farley, after which the
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
rounded 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
is war and he himself says he has
nade a great many "narrow es
japes.""
The company roll now shows a |
membership of over seventy mem
bers and there is more to come.
3ome of our best people are taking |
great interest in the boys and are
ioing all in their power to help
them in maintaining an efficient |
Organization. The trustees of the
Parksville high school have kindly
given them permission to uso the
iall of the school building as a
place nf meeting.
Here's to the Capers Light In
fantry; long may they exist and
prosper.

Sews from the Delightful Town
of Parksville.
MR. EDITOR: Parksville i's sit
?ated on the P. R. & W. C. R. R.,
ibout thirty-three miles from that
loted city, Augusta, Ga., and in
he upper part of Edgefield county,
3. C., about one and a half miles
from the Savannah river. While
>ur town will iio^ average'with
lome of the larger ones Tn the "State
n population, vet we think that
ve have it very pleasant here with
ill of the advantages, and many
nore, toan some towns that .out
number us in population. As for
.ailroad facilities, we cannot com
plain, "for we hav^e fpur- passenge^
[rains^ ??day, JWJP.. nort? Wer two?
?outh, and by taking the north
bound train you will make connec
tion at a distance of thirty-five
miles, with trains going north, and
ilso with trains going north, east,
south, and west; and'by trains
south, at a distance of "thirty-three
miles, you arrive in Augusta, Ga.,
where you have railroad outlets to
all paris south, west, north, and
east ; ? hence you see very readily
that Parksville should make no
complaints in this line, except to
the county seat, which is a dis
tance of about twenty miles, - but
having these benefits in the way of
railroad facilities-we will not com
plain, but resort to the plan of
"jtfbvos ITomo" in travelling to that
point.
Parksville has two stores known
as the establishments of our con
genial little friend Mr. L. F. Dorn
and Messrs. Gilchrist, Hammond &
Co., who are also very pleasant in
store or out.
It has been said that any insti
tution will be a paying one if you
can get the right men at the helm,
and of course when we take into
consideration the geography of this
upper Edgefield town knowing
that the Savannah is so near on
the west, also that these gentle
men are doing such an extensive
business, then we are forced to ac
knowledge that the "man makes the
business a paying one, and not the
business a paying mau. .
Again we have a medical prac
titioner, who, judging from his
general appearance and explana
tions of the causes^ of the many
pains of the body, is well up with
the latest discoveries of medical
science, and is an <all-round man
in,-1 suppose," every respect, but
will not recommend the patroniz
ing^ the St?fe'Dispensary, unless
it is.absolutely necessary in order
to effect a cure of some serious
disease.
Then we have a very fine insti
tution' of'learning for a country
-town that haB been presided over
for the past two years by the much
loved' Mr/G. "B. Toolen, assisted
by'his sister and Misses Essie and
Anna Jones, but?in the future fora
Jtime* by the very popular Miss
Willie Hu.lson as principal, who
|ijas given such universal satisfac
? tioir^Red Hill Academy.
We havb^4go a drug store under

One blacksmith and repair shop

There are various other enter
prises* wbich^wejWuil not mention
in this articlep.but will close for
this time* simply stating that here
in Parksville we are also blessed
with churches,' "one Baptist UL der
the pastorate-of th? Rev. Mr. Bus
sey, and our:M?tho*dist under the
pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Berry,
who always stand ready to wel
come the wayfaying traveller to

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 hajd not the means
to buy an engine, so the invaria
ble alternative arose-steal one. |]
A band of one hundred men was
selected from Lee's army and
placed under the command of a
big six-foot-four Georgian, who j
had been m foreman of a stone
quarry and was more or less
skilled in the use of derricks, etc. 1
He took his men up in Maryland \
and they tore up a section of the j
Baltimore and Ohio railway track
flagged the next train and with
nothing on earth save plenty of
tope, 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
aver the rout? and declared it the
most wonderful feat of engineering
aver accomplished. After the war
he delegated a man to find the
leader of the band. He was located
in Georgia. Mr. Garrett sent for
bim and on the strength of that
single feat made him roadmasler

?LOODSHED IN BARNWELL.
)ne Man S??ot and Killed and
Another Wounded.
s .
olumbia State.
BARNWEEL, July 1.-About mid
light last night, S. D. Knopf was
hotAndkilled, and R. B. McLe
?ore Blighty wounded by J. Gary
)wens,who was temporarily acting j
,s town mashal.
*Tt?? coroner's inquest was held
n the court house this morning,
nd^he. jury rendered the fol
owing verdict: "That S. D. Knopf
?ame to his death from the effects
>f pistol shot wound, at the hands
>f J.*G. Owens ; and so the' jurors
iforesaid do say that the aforesaid
T. Gi O wen B, in manner ?nd
orm?aforesaid, S. D. Knopf then
her? feloniously did kill, against
;he ieace and dignity of the Si ate
iforesaid."
This latter part of the verdie ? is
inusual with coroner's juries, but
;he finding Was in accordanc? vkth
:he instructions of Coroner H: P.
Dyct?es, "ithat if the jury-- deci< ed
?hat the killing was felnous, tfl?y
mould say so.
The facts as.brought put at the
inquest are that about midnight,
Knopf was put out of the rear dpor
>f^J.?E f urner &Bro's bar. Heswas
then under, the. influence of. liqu or,
but the.eviderrce is. conflicting as
o whether or not he-was creatng
any disturbance. At any rate he
was arrested by ;Mr. Owens, w io,
with the aid.of the night police
man, Ii. Br Baxley, attempted to
lake him'to the'guadhouse. Agliu
the evidence does not agree as j to
whether he offered any resistance
or not. r y
Mr. R. Bl MeLemore, who some
say was also intoxicated, offered
to put np a money, forfeit forljlr.
Knopfs good conduct and Ap
pearance before the intendant,this
morning.'.'The marshal refused,
and succeeded in getting his man
to th? guardhouse- door, where ihe
shooting occurred. The prisoner
was inside the guardhouse YT11
the first shot was fired. One |*?tit
ness says this shot was fir^ti jby
the deceased, while others assert
positively than he did not fire at
ail. - .: ' ' j
There were three or four
fired one of which struck
MeLemore just above the
temple, inflicting only a
wound. Another shot stfuck
Knopf in the rightbreast, ragged
downward an^odged just j un
der thejji^near the left hip.jjBLe
n a-few minutes. The
ysician that conducted the post
rrr-^tf$m% down, or leaning for
ward. . - -r'
The slayer, the deceased and
the wounded man each had
pistol. At least two of these were
used. The jury seem to think that
Owens fired them both. MeLemore
asserts that he was shot by his
own pistol, Owens having jerked
it out of his hip pocket. There was
an empty.chamber in Kuopf's pis
toi also, but that is said to have
been 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
ire that Knopf is dead, MeLemore
is wounded, and that whiskey was
it the bottom of the whole
trouble-_. _
Let the Rich Bear Their Share
of Bardens. >***i
Bj A. G. Hajgood, In Indenpendent.
One -of the occasions"* of dis
content among the masses of
corking, people in the United
States to-day, say nothing ..of
European .countries, 'is the firm
conviction poor people have that
;hevery rich do not bear their
.hare of the burdens of -govern
nent.
The General Government derives
.ts income from a tariff on im
ported goods and the tax, collected
Dy the internal revenue depart
ment, from certain domestic
products, chiefly tobacco and
iquors.
What proportion of the money
;he tariff laws collect is paid by
he laboring class, is more than
his writer knows-he suspects
;hey pay most of it ; there are so
nany poor people. Experts could
jive a rational estimation'if they
;ook the pains. That the laboring
)eople pay. most of the internal
evenue cannot be questioned;
ind this is no honor to them. If
he laboring people really knew
low much they pay in both forms
>f taxation they would at first be
tunned; then they would ex
)lode. When they do, it will be
io small matter for discussion at
Linner tables-between courses.
When it comes to State, county,
ind municipal taxes, workingmen
>elieve sincerely and profoundly
hat they pay more than their
hare. While they believe this their
liscontent abides; while they
)elieve it every other occasion for
nisunderstanding and 'conflict
)etween capital and labor is
ix?ggarated,Jaud every strife is ex
isperated. At such a time as thif
ie is silly who is content to leav?
inremoved any removable oe
?asion of antagonism1 between la
>or and capital.
When a very rich man dies and
lis will shows his disposition oi
nany millions, while the tax listf
>nly Bhow that he paid taxes or
i hundred thousand or : o, people
;annot be persuade'' ?it he bore
lis part of public .dens. Doei
my rational ma- ?lieve that he
lid?
We are told that the very rich
is a rule, have their money inves
ted in corporations, and that the
bead managers return the property
of the stockholders and that the
tax is paid by the company'*
treasurer. Doubtless there is trat!
in this statement.
But, right or wrong, the massef
of the people do not believe thai
the great corporations, represen
ting millions on millions, dc
actually pay into the publie
treasury their proportion of the
taxes. Does anybody believe it'
Do the great corporations believe
it themselves If they do pa}
their share the men who compose
these corporations, of all men iii
the world, have reason to make il
so plainjhat the people may see
it and be sure ot it. For the peo
ple do not believe it. They are
firmly persuaded that by the arti
of bookkeeping and other diplomtic
and influential methods the big
rich and the great corporation*,
pay a great deal less than theil
proportion of the taxes necessar)
to maintain government and pro
tection for the wealthy as well af
the poor; and that by bearing lese
than their share of public burden*
they increase the load of thc
"common people" and of the poor
who already have more than thej
can bear with comfort, who onlj
know how to make honest return*
of taxable property and pay the
amount that comes to them.
We are told that many hundred
millions are in non-taxable
Government bonds. Nobody whe
knows what he is talking aboul
proposes to tax the bonds issued
for the national defense ; but the
state ment does not make life's
burden less to the poor.
All these things aie against the
peace we long to see in social or
der. They add impulse to the
movement that organizes laboj
against capital. They are fuel tc
the red-hot fire that threaten*
social conflagration.
^rn?V^fie'syslem of governmenl
and business under whicJ^we~~??ve
"makes," by its natural operation
"the rich richer and poor poorer,'1
there will be no peace : only a
misleading truce now and then
as the convenience or neceseitieE
of those in conflict may make
desirable. It is not in human
nature that there should be peace
as long as this formula of dis
contented labor is true, or as long
as the people believe it is true. If
it. be true there ought to be no
peace till the wrong is righted.
When a man goes out of this
world owning many millions of
dollars up till his last gasp, and
the people do not see how and
where he pays his proportion of
the taxes, so long will discon
tented men, so long will just and
good men, raise questions that
turn the search-lights upon the
whole system under which we "do
groan, being burdened."
\j We may recognize the genius
that develops vast industries and
wisely handles great properties,
and understand full well that such
careers add, in an indirect way, to
the general' welfare, without so
blinding our moral vision as to
"call evil good and good evil"
against which bad custom ("the
fatal Imposture and Force of
Words," Rpbert Southey names it)
an an?ient prophet thundered as
a wrong to mankind ana* 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,his 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 readiug. 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
3eem to believe that government
januot lay one per cent, upon a
3ottage and two per cent, upon a j
palace. The principle of ad j
valorem se?ms to be considered as a <
sort of sacred "ark of the covenant.' 8
But no matter what law-makers
believe, or.political economists "
teach, the.Gospel law-and this is ]
the "law of life, pre-eminently j
ivilized life-is plain enough;
?eople should pay in proportion to
heir ability to pay*.
The Gospel law lays the burden
if the percentage of giving on
onscience, and guages liberality,
tot by what is given, but by what
s left ?
The poor man with a $1,000
lome and rarely more than $2,000
ncome, paid $10 tax and had
?990 left, pinching all round to
ive at-all, and not a dollar for
ncrease. And nearly always this
>oor man has a houseful of child
.en j generally this very rich man
rery few.
Let an illustration from an
ictual case end this paper.. In a
Western State is a great land owner
-his name could be given if it
jerved any useful end-who pays
:axea on a hundred thousand acres
jf land. It is within a few miles
)f a growing and already populous
jity. He is allowed-under the
prevailing iniquities and rascali
ties-to "give this latid in" at $10
per acre ; his selling price for it is
?150 per acre; he is actually
ielling twenty acre lots at this
rate. When the buyer puts a
sabin-costing from $100 to $300
-upon his little twenty-acre home
tie is taxed according to the worth
af his property !
When the great land-?baron does
?ot 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.
This sort of. injustice makes
"wise men mad." If one of these
poor men took the big man's place
and the rich man his? 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 the movement

PBIg ON PATENTS.
How to Get 2,500 Dollars
for Nothing/
rhe Winner Has a Clear Gift of
a Small Fortune, and the Losers
Have Patents that may iJring
Them In Still more.
Would you like to make twenty-five
hundred dollars? If you would, read
jarefully what follows and you may
see a way to do it.
The Press Clams Company devotes
much attention to pater ts. It has
bandied 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
encourgement the Press Claims
Company proposes to give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SERMS.
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 1 e
must devote years to delving in
complicated mechancial problems and
that he must4 spend a fortune on
delicate experiments before he can
get a new device to a patentablo de
gree of perfection. This delusion the
company desires to dispel. It desires to
get into the head, of the public a clear
comprehension of the fact that it is
not the great, complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, 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 PatentlOfflce. -
Edison says that the profits he has
received from the 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 child(s 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 rew peoplo \ 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 witbout breaking
the passengers' backs?" exclaims the
traveler. "If I were running the road
I would make them in such 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 !" 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 put the back of my neck."
And then the various,sufferp.r'
-gefr*bout their" grievancet and begin
to think of something else. If they
would sit down at the next convenient
bpportuni.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. zr: ffifl T?!"*.'.
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 for a
preliminary search, tue cost of which
will be five dollars. Should this search
show his invention to be unpatentable
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
to him. The prize will be awarded by
a 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 THIS 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 secu-e
the prize. He has a substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the 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 got tho
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
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.
