Edgefield Advertiser rHOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR THURSDAY, DEC. 14,1893. Cotton seed is selling in Missis sippi at 26 1-2 cents. Farmers should give attention to this and not sell their seed. Wisconsin led the States in the number of awards on grains at the World's Fair. The Argentine Re public was the banner foreign country. _ The Columbia State and the Cotton plant uDite in recommen ding the Australian secret ballot system for South Carolina. This is strange, but true. The Atlanta Constitution re marks that some of our protected industries are so old they are bald-heeded. They are in their second childhood, as it were. The yellow fever at Brunswick has been killed out by the cold and quarantine has been raised. The trains running into the towD are loaded with returning refugees. The South Carolina Conference of colored M. E. Church, will meet in Camden on January 3d. Extensive preparations will be made by the colored people for their entertainment. Tho grip has, again started on its usual winter round. This winter the victims are said to be suffering with "influenBa. In cities and large towns the attacks are more violent than in small places. A member of the Georgia Legis lature has introduced a bill to tax every dealer in cotton futures $30, 000 ayear. Every State should pass such a law, and it wou ld not be long before cotton would find its level. ===== There will be no break in the Tillman ranks in 1894. Some of the "driftwood" may float to shore anda few weak Conserva tives may endeavor to get in the current, but there will no matiial changes. .<The committee on the tariff has reported to Congress a bill to take ~^rrar. lard, bacon, ?3tate, is au a uuuu LU r re BI ut: III Cleveland, probably. A constituent has writen the Governor for his official dates for Christmas and New Years. Gen. George D. Johnston, several years ago Superintendent of the Citadel Academy, recently Civil Service Commissioner, was re moved a few days ago by Presi dent Cleveland because, it is said "he was not in harmony'' with Roosevelt and Lyman, his re publican collagues. Nice reason, that. One of the worst breaks the legislature has made is in going cut of circuits for judges to serve therein. Precedent for such action we believe, can only be found in the days of carpetbaggery. That is a mistake, contemparary for Judge Monroe, before the war, removed to the circuit to which he was elected after the election. A new political party is to be organized at St. Louis on the 20th day of the windy month of March. The call was issued by a Kansan who started the People's party at Cincinati in 1890. Such leading Populists as Briedenthal and Gov. Waite of Colorado say they are not in it. Gov. Tillman has received the following appreciative note, the name and post office being omitted : Governor B. R. Tillman : Your message I read with pleasure and note with pride that you call that old ex-Governor Chamberlain by just thc name he ought to have ; and although I was an anti-Till man voter, I am always ready to acknowledge truth and merit. Go it, Governor, I am with you to the end, Your very obedient servant. CLEMSON COLLEGE. The Btudents of Clemson College are now enjoying their vacation which will continue until February 1. The session just closed has been a wonderful success and the College has certainly a great future. At a recent meeting of the trustees tho water works system at the college was discussed. The work done by the contractors has not been satisfactory and $600 has *been heid back. The board vlecided that some thing would have to be done to give the counties equal representa tion in the college. There are 900 applicants for admission to the institution and only room, even to crowd the students, for 550. Some counties are not veli represented now, while others have more than their share. It was decided to prorate the admissions in the future according to the representation in the Legis ture. Tho number each county will be entitled to will be announ ced soon. This arrangement, how ever, is not to affect the students now in the college. Where there are mora applicants from a county than it is entitled to everything else being equal, the older boys will be given preference over theyoungerones;studentswho can enter the freshman class will have preference over the others, as the sooner a boy finishes his course the sooner some other boy will be admitted. Those who apply first will be received first, everything else being equal. It was also decided that ap plicants must hereafter undergo a medical examination before they will be admitted. Boys who, are not healthy, and cannot live in the barracks or undergo manual labor, will not be admitted. Those who are sufferiug from contagious diseases or have symptoms of con sumption will not be matriculated. Students who are not present within ten days of the opening of the next session will forfeit their places. The following account of the death of Mr. Joel Etheridge of which we made mention last week i6 clipped from the Prosperity Press and Reporter : On Wednesday morning, Nov. 29, Mr. Joel Etheridge, a farmer of the Cloud's Creek community of Edgefield Co., was fonnd dead in J?S field with au ugly gun-shot wound in the sido of his head. He was first discovered by a negro who had gone to his house to bor row a mule for a neighbor. It 6eems that Mr. Etheridge had promised the mule to his neighbor, and as he was not at the house when the negro came for it, Mrs. Etheridge directed the'negro to go by where Mr. Etheridge was at work and tell him about getting the mule. When the negro got to thc field he found Mr. Etheridge lying down with one arm on a burning stump that had been set afire a few days previous, and his gun was not far from him. When the .y "ot close to where he was. that Mr. Etheridge was Ie also saw that his arm ig burned, and he pulled . Tak-anough. to'"get-"tho . t of the fire. Pie then 2 alarm. iUU Joroner held an inquest, and the verdict was that Mr Etheridge came to his death by his own hand. It seems that Mr. Etheridge had been actiag queerly for several days, and that his wife was uneasy concerning him. The morning of his death when he started to ask the blessing at the breakfast table before partaking of the meal, he began to cry, got up from the tab'.e without eating and went on lo the field as though he intended to work. Mr. Etheridge was held in high esteem by his neighbors, and was a well to do farmer. Our informant states that he was a Sunday School Superindeudent. Ile leaves a wife and children to mourn their loss. The Two Tillinans-George and Ben. J. R. Randall, Baltimore Mirror. The most ascetic man I ever knew in congress was George D. Tillman of South Carolina, who lived somewhat like an ancient Spartan. He cared nothing for dainty meals and preferential}7 chose the simplest food. He avowed that "the less he ate the better he felt." He never wore an overcoat or undershirt in the rigorous winter,and maintained phenomenal health. His medicaments were apples aud lemons. Ile disposed of the former in vast quantity, and matched Stonewell Jackson in love for the latter as nature's sovereign remedy for bodily con gestion. He was one ot fhe brainiest men who ever entered public life, one of the most vriginal, studious, profound, philosophic, and pro phetic. He hated throngs and kept a swallowtailed coat more as a curiosity than anything else. Invitations to swell dinners were lost upon him. He remained in his room and filled his capacious mind with information upon many subjects. There is probably no man in America who knows more about metallurgy, and thc same statement may be made con cerning his acquintance with the political history of all nation?. Pie was nothing of a courtier and waf the only congressman who nevej put his legs under the presidents mahogany, though every member of the House and Senate is per functorily requested to do so once a year. His speeches were few, but they were originaly characteristic, and he was the master -of his theme. By some freak of politics he is now in retirement, but the day may soon arrive when his state will demand his prodigal talents, unshakable honesty and valuable experience. The present governor of South Carolina is a younger brother of George D Till man. Benjamin Tillman,in a brief period, has risen from obscurity to national fame. Not long ago he was a poor struggling farmer, who had a hard time in support of a considerable family. His dauntless character and remarkable intellect were not oven suspected except by his elder brother, who predicted that, if opportunity served, Ben would eclipse the rest of the family He has become a wonderful ex temporaneous orator, and yet I can remember when he mistrusted his own powers, and had to read his remarks. His leadership in South Carolina has been gained against odds that would have ap palled almost any other man, and as governor, he has still to combat the most redoubtable opposition, which has every element of puissance except numerical pro portions. But the faculties of Gov ernor Tillman appear to grow with contention. His speech at St. Louis on the silver question was a re velation to northern men who were prejudiced against him, and hostile ediotors frankly declared that, in the future of great parties, he must be counted as a portentous factor. He is now chiefly engaged in attempting to maintain the Gothenburg system of liquor dis pensation, or the minimizing of drunkenness. It is a hard rub against the freedom of the in dividual, but has, I believe, pro duced some excellent results for temperance. A dogged opposition to it, in some quarters, has pre vented a thoroughly fair trial but the governor is undismayed. If he can carry the people with him on this subject it will be a pronoun ced triumph, and other states may make a similar experiment. It is always dangerous for n ruler tu interfere with people's drink, but the governor may be certain of his following. The career of sucha man will be curiously watched, and nobody can tell what fortune has in store for him. Prof. Tyndall, the groat English scientist, died in London a few days ago. . The Legislature has been and is still hard at word trying to get through the business before .Christmas. Several bills have passd their third reading iu the Senate others their third reading in the bouse, but none have as yet become law. The presumption is that the railroad bill, redistricting bill say new Dispensary bill, and others advocated by the governor in hismessere will be passed. PATEN TS". NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There was neyer a time in the his tory of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in thc arts and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mankind in the factory and work shop, the household, on the farm, and in ollicial life, require continual ac cessions to the appurtenances and inipleinents^of each in order to save labor, time, and expense. The political change in the administration of the government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, wi o being on the alert' and ready "o perceive the existing deficiencies, uoes not permit the affairs of government to deter him from quickly conceiving the le.nedy to overcome existing discrepencies. Too great care cannot be exercised in choos uga competent and skillfully attor ney to prepare and prosecute an ap plication for patent. Valuable intents have been lost and destroyed in in numerable instances by. the employ ment of incompetent' counsel, and especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the ''No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class ol' attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never considered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain thc fee then due. THK PRXSS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager, GIS F street, N.

Thc said Company is prepared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for reasonable fees, and prepares and prosecutes ap plications generally, including mechanical inventions, design patents trademarks, labels, copyrights, inter ferences, infringements, validity re ports, and gives especial attention to rejected cases. It is also prepared to enter into competition with any firm in securing foreign patents. Write for instructions r n I advice. Jonx WEDDERBURN, GIS F Street, P. 0. Box 3S?. Washington, T>. C. TREES !
