Edfirefield Advertiser rHCS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR THURSDAY, OCT. 5, 1893. The price of coffee continues to advance, owing to the [revolution in progress in Brazil._ The Chester ginghams mill is running over 400 looms and the yarn mill over 4,000 spindles, mn ning on full time, too. R. G. Dun & Co. say that the financial stringency is over; that money is abundant, and that in dustries are resuming by the score. Notwithstanding petitions to the contrary, the directors of the World's Fair have decided to close that grand exposition on the Slit of October._ The men who always overesti mate their crops before harvest ing can cure the habit by keeping accounts. Overestimating gener ally breeds extravagance. . The number of school-houses in Nebraska has more than doubled in the last ten years, and the school children are now about three times as many as ten years ago. Statistics compiled from official data show that from January to December of this year 500 State and private banks failed, and that 72 have resumed business. e ,t . The most reliable estimates of the value of farm crops for 1893 show hay $1,000,000,000, corn $750,000,000, wheat $300,000,000; cotton $250,000,000. The Galveston News estimates the Texas cotton crop of this ye* at 1,400,000 bales. That announce ment ought to make cotton ad vance to 10 cents. Upon the shores of Lake Erie, over 1,000 acres of vineyards cover the ground where wheat was sown last year. More fruit and less wheat is the tendency of modern methods of agriculture in the West The Augusta Exposition this fall bide fair to be second only to the Chicago Exposition in all this wide world. The United States government will send its cotton exhibit from Chicago, and proba bly the fruit exhibit, also. In all the papers of the interior and upper part of the State we notice complaints of mosquitoes. They are more numerous and - vicious here than ever known be cyclone? The railroad shops of the G. C. & N. R. R. in Abbeville are nearly finished. The round house is com plete and cost $55,000. The entire plant will cost $110,000. This ought to give a big and a perma nent boom to our sister town. A St. Louis woman has lately perfected an invention for making sweet potato flour; the process in cludes peeling the potato and dry ing the peel as a food for live stock, drying and grinding the po tato into three grades of flour, and [ also slicing into Saratoga chips. "After the Ball is Over" has not I yet been sung, or played, or whis tled in Edgefield, so far ai we know. So those afflicted with too much of it elsewhere will find a haven of rest here, where the last faint echoes of "Tar.ra-ra-boom de-ay" are dying on the distant h?ls. It was Leibnitz who said: "In trust me with education, and in less than a century I shall change the face of Europe.'' It was Locke who deolared that "ont of one hun dred men, more than ninety are good or bad, useful or harmful to society, owing to the education they have received." The only South Carolina lady who ever presided at the White House was the wife of Major Abram Van Buren, son and Secre tary of President Van Buren. The President was a widower, and for a year after his inauguration there was no mistress of the White House, but in 1838 his eldest son, commonly knewn as "Prince" Van Buren, married the lovely and accomplished Miss Singleton, of South Carolina. Several children were born of this union, but none j at the White House. The Lochmore, the first steamer of the Johnston line to arrive at Port Royal, is now being speedily loaded with cotton for Liverpool. The company will soon put on other steamers and the people of Port Royal are so elated at the prospect that they are getting np a grand jubilee composed of dele gations from Savannah, Charles ton, Augusta, Macon, Atlanta, Nashville, L??atsville, and other ?ities, represen t rug the commercial, agricultural, railroad, newspaper, ?lid other loading industries. Yellow fever has broken out t Fossup, Georgia. The dread dil sase still rages at Brunswick. Alfred B. Sheppersou, the gret cotton expert predicts that th price will go to ll cents a ponn in a short time. ------- Secretary Herbert has ordere the steam launch from the Poi Royal naval station to report 1 Miss Barton, at Beaufort. Gen. Hampton will deliver tb address at th? unveiling of tl Confederate monument at Orang* burg on the 18th of October. * The Atlanta Journal says thi some of the men who prate mo about the dollar of their daddie had daddies who had no dollars. Another lynching, this time i Williamsburg county, a negro, f< the usual crime. The negroes doc seem to mind being lynohe judging from their frequer commission of a crime that i: varibly meets that penalty. Prof. Totten, of Yale Colleg declares that tne second comii of Christ is less - than six yeai distant. He has reached tn conclusion after a close study . the prophecies of the O Testament. William Butler Hornblower the queer cognomen of the Nc York lawyer who has just be? appointed justice of the Suprezi Court of the United States to su deed the late Justice Blatchfor The late Gen. M. W. Gary used quote to us the following as a Bib injunction: "Blow ye your ow trumpets for verily I Bay unto yo that if y* blow them not, thc shall not be blown." The ne justice's name indicates the hon blowing diathesis. Gov. Tillman, State Treasur Bates, and others are off to the S Louis convention. This couveutic was called in the interest special! of the South and West that adv cate silver and gold as against tl East that wishes the gold standai alone. Gov. Tillman expects grei good to be accomplished by th conference. It will not be nor wi it intended to be, as we undergtan matters, an organised effort 1 balld up the Populist party, but a the contrary the sole purpose an object is to hold the democracy 1 its ; tenets and traditions, an especially to the Chicago platfon that declared for gold and silver the money of the constitution. the other delegates to the Chicag convention last year for their oj position to Cleveland's nominatio are gradually getting out into th light. The ADVERTISER is no Thir party or Populist paper, and is op posed to any departure from demo crecy* for any reason whatsoevei But if President Cleveland contin uesto pursue the course he is jus now pursuing-flouting thewishei of the great majority of the people and especially his democratic fol lowers, there will be some kind ol a whirlwind in. the near future For one man to set up his opinion his will against millions and tc ignore the distress and suffering pr?sent and prospective, of a na tion, is intolerable arrogance. The promptness with which Governor Tillman came to the relief of those made destitutely the dreadful storm of Aug, 27th and the judgment he has displayed in enlisting the sympathy of the nation and in organizing and directing its charities, deserve as much commendation as any act of hil administrations: A new and altogether different phase of his character is hereby presented. The Columbia State says that "Governor Tillman has a down right way about him that is some times rough, of ten rude, and al ways course." Posterity will for get this diatribe, when it contem plates the beneficence of Gov. Till man's, acts, and when the Columbia State shall be no more. When Gonzales is dost-or has dusted, Hit good sword mst-or his rusted Clemson College, the Industrial School for Women, the closing of the bar-rooms, and the awakening the pity of the nation for the storm-swept isles of the sea shall perpetuate Gov. Tillman's memory in monuments more enduring than brass, more beautiful than marble. UNKINDEST CUT OP ALL. The Anderson People's Advocate, commenting on the recent pecca dillo of Senator Irby and the vigi lance of the anti press in showing him np, has the following to say : "Yes, the vigilance of these con temporaries is highly commenda ble. They watch some individuals rory closely, and we would re ipeotfullv ask them to tell us the 1 x>lor of the mule ex-Senator < Hampton rode when his leg was broken.

BRUNSWICK, Ga., Oct. i.-Twelve new cases of yellow fever were re ported to-day ten white and two colored. The patients are Miss Laura Eastmeade. Miss Bose Nisi. P. P. Judge, Mrs. J. E. Poore. Mrs. P. V. Poore and Miss Carrie Poore, J. F. Mclnarrys, Ernest Brock, Miss Fannie Brock. One unkown'man in the extreme northern suburbs. There is not a prominent citizen in the above list, though all are white. The other patients are : Bur ris. Tom Oliver, both colored. Discharged as follows: Mrs. Crane. William Crane. Mrs, Frank, Isane Lamar, Mrs William Lucree and Washingtoa Williams. Sixty five patients are now .under treat? ment. Surgeon Murray returned this morning at 10:30 from Jesup and reports that an autopsy on the body of C. J. Warren, the deputy sheriff, who died there yesterday, proves beyond question that he had yellow fever. It is reliably stated that Warren has not been in any infected district within the past few weeks, and if this is true, the theory that it requires only ten days incubation for the fever to develop will be proven un reliable. If this fact is proven, the Brunswick epidemic of 1893, howevor, unfortunate to this city, will effectually dispel the idea heretofore clung to try scientists, that ten days' incubation is sufficient, as well as the idea that negroes are by nature exempt from the disease. The negroes in this epidemio have to date bean the greatest sufferers aud so many fatal cases have developed among them that scientists are investigat ing. Having partially exhausted itself among the lower classes, the disease is getting in its work among the more favored pop ulation and no cheering words can be truthfully wri.teu ou ,the situa tion. The scourge is here to stay until frost and those remaining need not expect any escape. Those systems that are in the best condition, and receive proper attention and aid will be cured. There are still some left, who persisting in a hardheaded manner to ridicule the instructions of the physicians, are warned of fatal results. Four-fifths of the 5,000 people here will have the fever before frost comes. This is no idle statement, but the result of careful consultation with the_ ONE CASE AT JESUP. JESUP, Ga., Oct. 1.-Surgeon Murray of the Marine Hospital' Service arrived from Brunswick this morning at 4 o'clock, and with Medical Inspector Samuel*, local physicians Drawdy, Eaeon, Tuten, and Little, held an autopsy upon C. J. Warren, the person who was reported to have died with yellow fever. Medical Inspector Samuel has been ordered by Surgeon Mur ray to burn the bedding, di ?infect the house, and use disinfectants freely about the premises. Surgeon Murray advises all to remain as he does not believe 'ae f H ver will spread to any great ex tent, but that there may be a few scattering cases. Notwithstanding this advice, several families have moved away. The officiais are do ing all in their power to prevent the spread of the disease. Physi- j cians are puzzled to know where the disease came from. Warren had not been to Brunswick or Camp Detention, as far as the j authorities know. Apprehension among the citizens is great. Is "Damn ' Cusshtt'? "The 'word "damn" appears to be a reform watchword. Perhaps it has been adopted as a kind of shibboleth-a test of the reformer -and a man's ability and willingness to prononce it freely, firmly and with proper emphasis is the measure of his stability as a reformer and of his devotion to the sacred cause of the people. Governor Tillman throughout his public career has emitted a perfect Bhower of damns-red and blue, green and yellow-and has made the political heavens radiant with them, like a sky rocket ascending. Senator Irby has frequently treated the public to similar brilliant manifestations with additions and trimmings, Other reform states men have been equally generous And now we see the usually urbane j and somewhat stoical superinten dent of education has broken loose on the same line and is credited with not "giving a damn" in the anion dopot for the opinion of certain persons concerning his official transactions. To damn and be damned appears to be the ?atural, inevitable tendency of reform statemanship in South karolina."-Greenville News. We rise to a question of the j aighest privilege. We desire to ask mr esteemed contemparay if he sonsiders "damn" cussin'.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Cleve land's letter to Governor Northen las been the most widely discussed topic here to-day, even more than Breckinridgfe's speech. It has had ;he effect of flaunting the red flag it the bull. The fact that he wrote :he governor of Georgia that he vas opposed to independent bi metal liam,h a B shown the duplicity >f his friends. It is claimed that it has made the silver senators nore rampant than eve* Senator Butler said to me : "I do not think anything c an move the silver men now.

We shall be greatly disappoint ed if the 10 per cent, tax is en forced against tho hanks issuing clearing house certificates, accord ing to the letter of the Internal Revenue Commissioner. No col lection of the tax should be at tempted until we are out of the panic woods. It ianthe fault of the Federal government-we do not mean the Democratic adminis tration of it-that we are compell ed to use -the certificates. It will be plenty of time to collect such taxes when the national banks and the Treasury shall be able to meet the demand for currency. We shouldn't be put in a hole aud punished for trying to get out of it. Charleston again comes to the front. This time it. is inhuman treatment of a prisoner. When that city realizes the fact that she is safely landed iu the black district and that .her police will be ap pointed by the Governor, she will not think her man, Hemphil', is such a God as she believes, but in sack cloth and?ashee repent of her folly.

Mr. Cleveland is the first Presi dent to send a negro to represent the United States in a diplomatic or consular office in a "white" country.

Read Ol Premiun PREMIUMS RIFLES - AND - SHOT GUNS ! Nowadays nearly every man and boy own* or want* to own a Rifle. Hunting is always popular and often ? necessity. We havo there fore decided to add a Rifle and a Shot Gan to oar namerons premium offers. We want to Interest everybody and every class in oar publication. As in other premiums, we have sought oat tho best articles to offer tn this column, and have made very favorable arrangements with the sell ing agents of the Marlin Arms Co., which '.viii enable as to offer tho cele brated HARLIN REPEATING RIFLE, NEW MODtU to oar readers as a premium at whole sale prices. This Rifle has many ad vantages over other repeating rifles. "The point in which this arm differs mest from the old style of re peating rifles is that tho top of the receiver is en tirely solid, the empty shells being ejected through an opening in the right hand side di rectly over the loading hole. In this Bystem of aide ejecting the empty shells are never thrown u?vex cross the line of sight or in any other way interfere in taking aim for the next shot, but are always ejected to tho right and away from tho shooter. Another great advantage is that the doing away with the opening on the top a vd the closing of the side slot by the bolt makes it impossible for any rain, snow, falling leaves or dirt to get into the action. " In case of a defective cartridge giving out around the head, as often happens from re loading or from poor metal, no powder will be blown into the face or eyes, as the solid top forms a perfect shield." The Marlin Repeating Rifle is made in sev eral calibres, and any make of cartridges of the same marked calibre of the rifle can be osed for it. This Rifle is made in the following sizes: 22, 38 and 44 calibre. The Rifle wo offer as shown in this drawing is the standard size, with pistol grip stock and SO inch half octagon barrel, weight T}? poonda, and holds 15 cartridges.
