We return our thanks to Secre tary Holloway, for a com plimentary ticket to the State Fair. Tho Synod of South Carolina will convene at Clinton on Tues day, the 3l8t day of October, instant.

Fox is now in his ele gant quarters in the Norris build ing next door to the postoffice, ?lr." W. H. Turner has the store next to Mr. Fox. The South Carolina College opened last weok with a larger number of students than last year. There were thirty new ones and nearly, all the old ones returned. .Last week cotton regained the half cent it had lost the week previous and a little more besides. We don't believe it will quit going up now until it hits the next crop. October is said to be the best time for planting shade trees. If you have none in front of your house plant some out this month. They will add beauty and comfort to your homes. "What are you trying to raise here?" I asked a traveller last week of a Lickskilietite. The Licks killetite looked up from his work, long enough to reply, ''Nothing but a mortgage," We are indebted to Prof. New man of Clemson College, for bulletin No 14 of the agricultural experiment station a? Clemson college. ?his bulletin is filled with experiments with corn. The sentence "John qnickly ex temporized five town bags con tains all the letters of the alphabet.

Methodist Hot Supper. An oyster, 'possum, and turkey Bupperwill be given by the ladies of the Methodist Church on the 7th of November, Tuesday, 7 p. m., for the benefit of the parsonage. Further notice will be given as to the place. 1 i ne Tobacco. Col. S. C. Strom, of Gilgal, has sent us another package of fine tobacco. Col. Strom is more than eighty years of agc and remembers the time when indigo, flax, and to bacco were the staples of this country. Those were good old days when every mau had a dispensary of his own. Stealing: Seed Cotton. A couple of years ago J. W. DeVore, Esq., of our town, pro cured a few cotton seeds from Boori boora-Gah through the kind ness of a missionary who is la boring in that far off land, and who was a college classmate of Mr. DeVore. Thie year quite a large field was planted with these seed, and the cotton was, and is still, the wonder of the country, so much so that people travelling along the road, without considering it a depredation at all, jump over into the field and help themselves to a few bolls "just to get into the seed." One old n*?gro, it is said, jumped the fence with the excla mation, "Gwine ter git some er dem dar cocoa-nuts," and actually picked a half dozen unopened bolls before he found the supposed cocoanuts were only big cotton bolls, when he threw them down in disgust, '?ut of course the cotton which would have been in these six bolls-about two pounds and a half-was lost to the owner. Against such depredations and "the deep damnation of such a taking off" of his cotton, Mr. DeVore makes an earnest protest for, as he says, it will strip him of seed for his own planting next year. The name of this cotton is the "Rbamsootah," a little hard to pronounce, but that is all you have Fto do to it-pronounce it. It does the rest, does everything except pick itself. Cotton-Picklnar Octogenarian. Our old friend, Maj. Elias La grone, of the Mt. Vernoon section, is in bis eighty-first year. He picked a hundred pounds of cotton each day for three successive days last week. He writes us that if ho bad a Dew back he could do still better. May he live many vears to show the rising goner lion that honesty, industry, frugality, will give a man a competency in his declining years, and win for him the honor and respect of all who know his worth. Why is He Not ia Politics? MB. EDITOR : The question : "Why is Col. Clint Ward not in politics?" is being heard around the laud of late. For ourselves, we cannot understand how he bas controlled that "lip of fire" that once kindled into resistless flame the patriotism of hip people. Porty years of his life were spent in offices of various kinds, and none seemed to give more general satis faction than he. For four years this patriot truly represented this grand old banner county (Edgefield) in our State Legislature, and no one has dared to say that he ever quailed before danger, or struck his colors to the enemy. It was he who first advo cated the principles of reform in our State Legislature; and it was not the fault of this patriot, if his invincible bark did not convey the equal rights of his countrymen to a successful issue. He sailed then in shallow water, yet when the inevitable wa vi.-s of opposition tossed him to and fro-they were without effect. In the days of 1876 none was mora fitted to pro nounce the funeral oration of radi calism in South Carolina than he, for be had a voice that could fill ^9 world, and enchain tho atten tion of mankind, He waa Edge field's own son, the impersonation of her own heart in those days of desolation; and it was he who could sit at her bedside-and speak words of consolation to her brave sons, struggling to throw off the barbarian yoko in that dark era of history just before the dawn. Col. Ward is a good financier. It is useless to remark that under his management alone, while direc tor of our State penitentiary, it was made a source of revenue to the State, and, but for his modesty, he could truthfully say with the immortal Watts: Though I could reach from pole top?le, And grasp the ocean in a span, Vd be measured by my soul- 4 *Tis the mind that makes the man. Hie benevolence stands as a mark of his love for mankind. Be sides other things, he has raised half a dozen orphan children that are the pride of his old age. It is scarcely justice to call Mrs. Ward simply a benevolent lady. There is none more pious, more kind, more hospitable thau she; loved she is by rich and poor, old and young. The Colonel's doors always stand open with a hearty welcome to all, especially the laboring classes to whom he owes his station and position in life. We suggsst that the Colonel enter politics again, knock the feathers from the aristocracy, and (as your correspondent "Van Star" once used the expression) make them as humble as a bob-tail gander. A FRIEND. Clintonward, S. C. Washington's Appearance. Washington's riding boots were enormous. They were number thirteen. His ordinary walking shoes were number cloven. His hands were large in proportion, and he could not buy a glove to fit him, but bad to have his gloves made to order. His mouth was his strong feature, the lips being always tightly compressed. At that time he weighed two hundred pounds and there was no surplus flesh about him. He was tremend ously muscled and the fame of his great strength was everywhere. His great tent, when wrapped up with the poles, was so heavy that it re quired two men to place it in the camp wagon. Washington could lift it with one hand and throw it in the wagon as easily as if it were a pair of saddle bags. He could hold a musket in on? hand and shoot with precision as easily as other men did with a horse pistol. His lungs were his weak point, and his voice was never strong. His hair was a chestnut brown, his cheeks were prominent, and his bead was not large, which was in contrast with every other part of his body, which seemed large and bony at ali points. His finger joints and wrists were so large as to be genuine curiosities. As to his habits at this period, I found out much that might be interesting. He was an enormous eater, but was content with bread and meat, if he had plenty of it, but hunger seemed to put him in a rage. It was his custom to take a drink of rmi or whiskey on awaking in the morn ing. Of course all this was changed when he grew old. I saw him at Alexandria a year before he died. His hair was very, gray, and form slightly bent ; his chest was verv thin and he had false teeth which did not fit, and pushed his under lip outward. FEEDING ON CARRION.' Storm Sufferers Eat Dead Ani mals Washed Ashore. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 7.-Stories of death and desolation which continued to come from the storm stricken districts between Point LaHsche and quarantine station are of the most harrowing char acter. Scores of dead bodies are still lying on tho river's edge or .in high and tangled weeds or marshes whither ihey were driven. Many of those who escaped starving re port that men and women driven to desperation by hunger are feed ing on dead animals washed ashore. A large number of bodies have already been thrown iuto trenches and covered up but those still lying exposed to the hot sun are rapidly decomposing, adding further peril to the situation. To relieve this terrible condition the Board of Health this morniog sent down to the coast a large quantity of lime and disinfectants for sanitary purposes. The die tress is so great the board of health concluded to send to similar bodies in leading cities au appeal for help, promising that Louisiana will bury her dead and feed her starving, but soliciting the assistance of chari table associations in getting th*? unfortunates, who were well nigh ruined, upon thoir feet again. The total dead are now estimated at 2,275. __ Mine Creek Dots. Ms. EDITOR: After a protracted silence, we again come forward, li always gives us pleasur to write to the substantial old educator, the ADVERTISER. Cotton i: being gathered rapidly and that is Dot all, it is being sold more rapidly-at low prices too. But it will and must go, for a great many have eaten two such crops as are made alout here, so some say. Some are entertaining the idea that cotton will be 10 cents soon. We heard one farmer ask another the other day if he didn't think cotton would go up soon. He said, .'Yep, it will all go up-go up out of the patch and country, and that will be the end of it with the farmer. That's just the go up. we will have." That will fit this part of the country, don't know how ic is elsewhere. The toot-toot of the hunter's horn and the lonely howl of the hound are proving detrimental to the' nocturnal beings-"de 'pos sum." Corn gathering is slow, and grain sowing still slower. The corn crop is sorry this time as well as everything else. In the face of the stringency of the times, folks still have the au? dacity to invest in those ever op pressing "bonds of matrimony." Mr. J. T. Lewis, who has been in the mercantile business at Clin tonward, ia very.ill in his home at Johnston. We hope to see him well soon. Mr. J. H. Lewis and Mr. J. D. Dunovant will take their leave for college soon in Nashville, Tenn.' If **Van Star" were cot con ceived in mischief and born in exaggeration, we, we would fun him a little just here. Revenue B lack is on his general rounds now (?) May the dear old ADVERTISER live long, and many of the readers of it grasp the grand opportunity that it affords them to get some of the magnificent premiums offered by it, is our heart's desire. JOHN BLAKE. Mine Creek, S. C. . A Prescription Required. OFFICE BOARD OF CONTROL, j EDGEFIELD, S. C., Oct. 2,1893. j At a regular meeting of the County Board of Control, held this day, the following preamble and resolutions wore unanimously pass ed and ordered published for the information of all concerned: WHEREAS, Dispenser Davis and his Assistant have been deceived on a few occasions by persons ap plying on the Sabbath day for liquor, stating that they wished it strictly for medical purposes, when Such was not the case, as the Board of Control have good cause to be lieve.

CAMDEN, Oot. 7.-Oliver Server a drug clerk living at No. 1071 South Second stteet, while in a drunken ragst this, m om Log, beat his wife and pushed her into a closet and locked the, door. Then he . set fire to the carpet in the room, with the intention of cremat ing the woman. Mrs. * Server screamed and pounded on the door until she attracted the attention of passers. They notified an ofl&cer. Server, fearing he would be lynched if caught in the house, made a dash out to Second street. He was chased by the crowd. Policeman Zaiser captured him, but before he could induce Server to submit he was compelled ?to' use his club and nippers. Server was takeu to the city hail. Tillman of South Carolina. Under the above heading the St Louis Republic give the fol lowing pen picture of Governor Tillman as he appeared in the bi-metlllic convention.: u Governor Tillman, .of South Carolina, was the striking figure of the convention. He is more to be considered than the resolutions* because he is the thing itself. He is the embodiment of a force that is going to tell in politics aud government. The Republic gave him and what he says liberal at tention because there was more to be learned from him than from all the addresses, motions and r?solu tions. About many subjects he is mistaken. He does not take into account the -qualifications that men of larger experience have re plied to the premises with which bis thinking begins. ? Do not, nevertheless, let your self suppos? that because you can detect flaws in his logic, blemish es in his taste and omissions in his data, this man Tillman is not a living force of more than ordi nary momentum. Momentum is the result of weight and motion, and be has both. Emerson wrote of Napoleom that every sentence he spoke is worth reading because it is the sense of France. Tillman is worth the keenest watching because he is the sense of*an immense body of small farmers in the South who are as hard headed, independent and de term inedias- any men who tread the soil of America. Look well at Tillman. He is the man with whom it is going to be neces sary to deal. He is of his time. Mistakes and all, he must be met and met with honesty and reason, for ho and his kind are hard to fool and harder to browbeat. He is artificial nowhere. From the standpoint of artistic finish, he is in a state of nature. He is not a looking-glass talker, not a poet, feeding the sugar-appetite with confections. He has not the fluent and stately platitudes of the old school Southern orator, nor the condescending affability of the old school Southern politician. In what is more to the present pur. pose he is highly educated. He knows his clients. He has the degree of high training the instinct of playing in tune and time with the popular apprehension of his section. He will take people with him at first because he is earnest and direct, and because he says so many truths that they will not perceive the inconsistencies and shortcomings. . His. soul is demonstrative, and his tempera ment is combative. Later, tb re tain his following, he must gain in wisdom and knowledge. But for a a year or two yat he ca*h carry them with what he is nnd has: And. neither ia success nor re tirement will anybody laugh at or pity him. He is not that kind of a man. In politics-and in all else that men do-you can tell ten timeB as much about what is likely to hap pen if you know the men than if you know only the subject. Men never act out a theory. The sub ject is seen through their instincts and is acted upon by their habits. They turn and idea more than . an idea turns them. They accept as much of it as they please and work it out as far as they care to go. 4,000-Year-Old Corn. ? Correspondent writes to the Record; "While studying geology from nature I recently discovered a large quantity of corn, of the white flint gourd variety embedded in conglormerate rocks composed of carbonate of lime and ?ilice. The grains are beautiful crystals, but the cobs are not so transparent. "The corn was evidently grown by the ant?diluviens, and from all appearances was husked and gath ered by them, and is evidently over 4,000 years old. "The deposit is in the extreme north eas', part of tbe borough of Norristown. . "The above discovery goes far to prove the existence of mau on the Western hemisphere during the antediluvian period.
