Edgefield Advertiser THURSDAY, OCT. 19, 1893. . LOGAL2 BREVITIES. Anybody's cotton brings 8 cents in the Edgefield market now. See notice of important meeting of Hollingsworth Alliance on Fri day, Oct. 20. A slight frost, a tiny we bit of a frost in Edgefield on Sunday morning last. Miss E1U Bates is at home again after a pleasant sojourn in Green ville and Chicago. Cotton and corn were both more injured by the August storm than most people thought. "I sell." Who sells? Why E. J. Norris. Look up his "I sell" advertisement in this issue. The New York Times calls Sena tor Butler a Populist, on account oj his recent silver speech in the Senate. Mrs D. J. Williams, of Liberty Hill is visiting her brothers, Gov. J. C. Sheppard and Orlando Shep pard, Esq. Court convenes the second Mon day in November, instead of the first as hitherto announced in these columns. Capt, J. A. Kinard and Mr. George Caughman,of the Ethered ge-Caughman section of the county were in town last week. The iargest hog in the world is j at the Columbia Exposition. It is! -fivo feet high, threo feet across the j shoulders and eight feet long, J. W. DeVore, Esq., has removed his law office to the Norris build ing, up stairs. Now, if you want any lawing done, and done right, follow him. "Hardly ever undersold." Who is hardly ever undersold? Why, E. J. Norris. Hunt up his adver tisement and read the 160 diff? r eut things he sells so low. Mr. Avory Bland, of the firm, of Ramsey and Bland, was thrown from his horse last week and had his leg broken. We are glad to state that, he is getting along comfortably. Mr, R. L. Fox in his Jewelry establishment has the largest watch movement on this continent.

Lewis's gin last week which weighed 165 pounds, bagging, ties and all. When thrown out of the gin house this bale bownced like an India rubber ball, jumped out of the enclosure, and look down the road to Augusta, but there were two liens on it, and they held it until the owner could catch up with it. A Wiso Selection. The trusteesof Cleveland Acad emy in the Salada section ?have engaged Mr. Allen G.

Miss Aileen Broaddus is the director of music in the Nacogdoch es "University, Texas. The Univer sity Echo, in its issue of Septem ber 23d, pays her a high compli ment by saying that she "isa high ly gifted and wonderfully versatile musician, and has what very few have-^-the highest order of teach- . ing power." Miss Broaddus is a Newberriau, and the complimentary remarks above quoted prove that our daugh ters take high rank along with our sons among thu teachers in Texas.-Newberry Observer. Miss Aileen is a daughter of Rev. Luther Broaddus who preach ed in Edgefield twenty years ago, and a granddaughter of Mr. B. C. Bryan, of revered memory. A Good Rule. We call attention to the advertise ment of the county board of control prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sundays for any purpose whatso ever, to nny body whomsoever, ex cept upon the production and ex hibit to the county dispenser of a prescription from a practising physiciau. This is entirely proper. Some of the boys had been getting! a little X and X X on the Sabbath day on tho pretext that they had several very sick sisters or mothers that needed a tonic. Now, all this i is changed. When your sister is sick you will have to walk right up to John Davis,lookingstraight into his eyes without batting pour own aud say "my sister;is sick," at the same time pulling out a prescrip tion and handing it to him. Then you all bc solid. Edgef ield Medicial Society. MR EDITOR : On account of not gotting notices of our meeting in the county papers iu time for our regular meeting the 11th, and after consulting with neighboring physi cian, I have decided to call a mfletihg Wednesday, after 4th Sunday, the 25th. Physicians will please tum out as is it our annual meeting and business of impor ta nc-? wi il come up. D. A. J. BELL M. D., President Parksville S. C. Matters in Meriwether. Everything has been very quiet and orderly in these parts, so much so that it was becoming monoto nous, and one could almost wish something would turn up just for a change. A fatal accident occurred near here this morning (Oct. 12th). A negro man, Mose Wooden, had taken his gun to clean and oil it, and as he was unbreeching it, the gun fired, killing instantly his wife,'who was setting near by. The jury of inquest was called, and gave a verdict of "accidental shooting." They were industrious and well-to-do negroes, and well thought of by all classes. Theie are a great many negroes in this section of the county, but there is only now and then a case of petty theft, no occasion for lynch law. Your correspondent thinks that this lynching business is grossly abused in various sec tions of the country. Thoughtful people begin to fear serious conse quences will come of it ultimately, and those who are now aiding and abetting it will live to regret it. By the way, 'tis quits a puzzle to understand how,' in a given com munity where nearly the whole population take part in a lynch court, that a coroner's jury can re port upon oath, "Came to his death by unknown parties/" Corn and cotton crops are very short in this township-not more than half a crop. The cotton is nearly all out of the fields, and what is worse, nearly out of the hands of the farmers, at a ruinous price. The farmers will have to buy meat and bread another year. 'Tis unfortunate, not to say foolish, for a farmer to depend upon one one product for everything, espe cially when the terms and the time of selling that crop are dictated by the buyer. After all, if the farmer is ever to be independent he will have 11 work out his own salvation, finan cially. How? By diversifying. Let him first raise his own meat and bread, then some cotton, some tobacco and fruit, Where there is a good market accessible, as it is here, an acre in winter cabbage, a patch of celery, etc., will coin him more silver aoliars than a dozen members of Congress who are simply wishing to "butter their own bread." This brings me to ask what haR become of our boasted majority in Congress? Has the National Bank Syndicate been advising them too as well as the President? Well, the people are doing more inde pendent and better thinking than they used to do; and a day of reckoning is coming. I read to-day portions of Senator Butler's speech on the silver ques tion. It reminds me of the days of long ago, when McDuffie and Hayne and other giants were in Congress. He spoke earneetly, eloquently, and the president's gavel could not restrain the ap plause from a crowded gallery. There are some who have not yet bowed the knee to Mammon. Capt. James DeLaughter, I see is in Prof. White's school. He is right. Burns says, Gather gear by any wile, That's justified by honor * * * * * For the sake of being independent. ClVlS. Merewether, S. C. Items from Elmwood. MR. KDITOR : Mr. Jackson Park man died a few days ago in the ninety-third year of his age. He was a kind and unoffensive man, and labored honestly and indus triously for his Pupport through life, and worked faithfully as long as he was able to do manual labor. In his declining years he had a dutiful son, Mr. Thomas Parkman, who kindly supported and made his loving father comfortable to the end of life. Crops in this community are tolorably good, much better than we thought they would be after the storm ; about three-fourths of a corn and cotton crop will be made. Farmers are in a push now, gath ering their corn and cotton, so as to sow wheat and oats. Very few oats having been sowed before the storm in cotton land, and after the storm the cotton was down so bad that it was impossible to plow them in. Much success and good wishes to tho old Edgefield ADVERTISER. It was the paper of our fathers, and is near to us. If not able to take but one paper the ADVERTISER ;S our choice. LCOKER-ON.

Atlanta Consttation. After sixty years of restir?te d suffrage, Belgium, under her new constitution is about to try a startling experiment. The new law gives a vote to everv male citizen who has reach ed the age of twenty-five. A married man who pays taxes, or a tax-paying bachelor of thirty five, is entitled to an extra vote. A third vote is given to a citizen of independent means, possessing a certificrte of high education, or who holds or has held a public office of a certain rank. It is believed that every hus band will place his extra vote at the disposal of his wife, thus indirectly giving her the elective franchise. Under the new constitution the numbei of voters in Belgium will leap from 150,000 to 12,200,000. A well-equipped Belgian will aow be able to cast a vote on elec tion day just after breakfast, and if he feels greatly interested in the campaign he can stick in another vote at dinner time, and still onther on his way home to supper. When the voter feels muddled over a big question he can go to the polls like a man and put in two votes-one on each side of the buming issue. He can pair off with himself, nulify his first in discreet vote, and make sure of being in the right by standing squarely on two platforms. Tho Belgium system would be a a God-Bend to some of our yellow faced friends of silver. Poor People! Yorkeville Ennuirer. The people, poor people I Oh, what crimes are committed in the name of the people! Just now those few Senators who are stand ing out against the demonetizetion crime, represent more people than was ever before represented by the same number of men. The fact that the House voted for the un conditional repeal is no indication whatever of the people. It is a well known fact that one man with a million dollars, has more influence than a thousand men with only a thousand dollars each. Neither the majority in the House or the . Senate are representing the peo ple. They are representing a few millionaires. Dishonest? No, there is no need to say anything about their honesty. They probably think a mau who has made a man who has made a million dol lars ought to know moro about finance than one who has never made anything; therefore, they esteem it tho proper thing to re present the money of the country rather than the peopte. A Big Orange Crop, Augusta Chronicle. Oranges ought to be very plenti ful and jeosonable in price this year. The crop of thi3 year is es timated at a million boxes larger than last year, and there seems to be no end to the development of the Florida crop. In 1885 the yield of Florida was 1 VX)0,000 boxes ; laBt year's crop was 3,450,000 boxes, and this yeor's crop is estimated in the Manufacturer's Record at 4,500,000. At the present rate of progress it will not take many years to furnish more oranges than this country will comsume, and the Forida growers are airead looking about for a European market. It is not improbable that the Port Royal line of Steamers may secure some shipments of Florida oranges for the other side this winter. We do not wish the Florida growers any bad luck and hope they may be able to dispose of all their crop at profitable figureB but at the same time it is a matter of congratulation that the crop is BO large as to insure plenty of the luscious fruit, and at prices within the reach of all. A KILLING FBOST. Cotton Seriouly Injured in the Mississippi Valley, MEMPHIS, Terni., Oct 15.-A killing frost .fell in this section last night, greatly injuring crops andvegation. The cotton crop will be cut short 15 or 20 per cent, and in the lowlands the top crop will be a failure. The frost seems to have been genaro! throughout the Mississippi valle\\ A report to the Commercial from Vickaburg. Miss., Eays: Cotton and other tender vegetation in the low lands was nipped by a frost this morning in this portion of Mississippi, and heavy frosts are reportud in Northern Lonisiana, where a a much lower temperature is recordad. Owing to(the drought and other causes, the damage will be great. A special fjom Canton,M?88.,say8: The cold wave that struck this section on the 12th resulted this morning in a white frost. Sheets of ice were also seen in shady places. Considerably damage will result to late cotton, as a great deal is still umatured. A dispatch from Greenville,Miss, says : The first frost of the season fell here thie morning, killing all tender vegetation and doing con siderable damage to cotton. Worst Character in the World. Texas Advocate. The backbiter is the worst I character in any country.-. J An old tale-bearer, a whisperer, an insinuator, exercising nods and winks as good as to say: "I know some awful things if I were a-mind to .speak out." Such people are the devil's best friends and are to be shunned and dreaded by every good man and woman on earth. If there is any thing really wrong ina man or woman, leta complaint be lodged at once in the proper place and before the proper authorities. Do not go around carrying a knife for for a brother until you catch him off his guard and then assassinate him. The assassin is the dread of I all brave or honest men. Be frank, fair and honest with a brother end talk the matter ove r between yourself and him-if you have aught of censure-and do not freeze your own soul and blacken his good name by murderous winks and innuendoes. THE EDGEFIELD and Female INSTITUTE. THE Trustees announce to the pub lic that this school will open on Monday, Sept. 4, 1893, and continne ten months, forty weeks, with a recess of one week at Christ-1 mas. There will be three departments, each carefully graded : The Primary, embracing 2 years. The Intermediate, embracing 4 years. The Academic, embracing 4 years. Provision is also made for Music and Art Departments, under competent teachers. Arrangements for studies higher than the Academic will be made hereafter, if it be deemed best to do so. The rates of tuition will be as follows : In the Primary Department, first and second years, per month.. $ 1.001 lu the Intermediate Department, 1st and 2nd years, per month.. 2.001 In the Intermediate Department 3rd and 4th years, per month.. 3.00] In the Academic Department, 1st and 2nd years, per month. 3.001 In the Academic Department, 3rd and 4th years, per month. 4.001 In the Music Department, per month. 4.001 In the Art Department, per month. 3.001 From these charges will be deduct ed the pro rata amount allowed for each pupil from the public school fund. The trustees have committed this school to the management of Dr. L. R. GWALTNEY. He will be aided in each department j by competent teachers. It will be seen that the basis of financial support) which has been in operation for sev eral years has been abandoned, the trustees having fully decided that it is better to have fixed rates of tuition for all pupils. If the citizens of Edge lield will heartily stand by "The In stitut?," they will have a good school in which they may take a commenda ble pride. The Principal is well known. He returns to Edgefield to become the pastor of the Baptist Church, and to give his matured experience to the work of educating our boys and girls. Good board can be had for $8 to $10 per month. W.
