Edgef ieid Advertiser THURSDAY, DEC. 14, 1893. LOGAL2 BREVITIES. It seems that every railroad in the State is going into the hands of a receiver now. All lue dispensaries in the State were closed on Thanksgiving Day by order of Gov. Tillman. Mr C. M. Mau ll aud family, formerly residents of Johnston, have moved back from Charleston to that place. Frosh fruits of all kinds, nuts, raisins, mince meat, confectionery, etc., etc., at Penn's Emporium for Santa Claus. R. L. Fox, jeweller, has one of the handsomest lay-outs for Christ mas presents ever seen in this market. Go and see them. Our Young and talented friend L. L. li eden haugh has been re ceived into the South Carolina Conference and licensed to preach. Dolls, Iron and Tin Toys, China and Glassware in endless variety. Every style, and all grades and prices, at Penn's Christmas Em porium. Gov. Northen, of Georgia, has refused to ' surrender Wm Car penter to the authorities of South Carolina as ha is to be tried for murder in Georgia. Rev. W. S. Wightman, the former pastor of the Methodist church in this town, has withdraw from that church and united with the Presbyterians. If we should devote the entire inside of the ADVERTISER this week to Penn's displav of Santa Claus goods we could not do the subject justice. On Monday night of this week the dwelling and out-houses of Charlie Holmes, colored, two miles from town, were burned. Charlie also lost about 1100 pounds of seod cotton. I I Penn's stock of Christmas goods is the prettiest and most artistic he has ever brought to Edgefield. Our Toaders will understand that this means a great deal, for Mr. Penn has always lead in this line. If Greenwood should get a new county it is proposed lo call it "Ben Tillman county," and if Bishopvillo in Sumter county gets f? new county it is proposed to call that "Mart Gary County." In the contest between the two literary societies of Clemson College-the Calhoun and the! Palmetto-marking tho close of the j session Sam. T.Carter, an Edge-i . field boy won the award as best declaimer. Amidi6t his multiplicity of dutis Gov. Tillmen even found time to write an article for the Southern Cultivator for December, .entitled "Element of Intensive Farming." It is short but one of the ablest papers he ever wrote. A rather curious coincidence oc curred in the United States Court I in Columbia last week. The name of Bon Tillman was called, when a coal black negro stepped lip. He was taken before the grand jury when it was found out that he was from Edgefield, and around hume he bore the name of "Governor." The charge against bim was dis .missed by tho grand jury and Ben vent his way rejoicing. Mr. 0. W. Buchanan, recently fleeted attorney-general, is a son in-law of Hon Gov G. Tillman. The Columbia Register says: "He is a bri11 ian t lawyer and is thoroughly grounded in the prin ciples of his profession ; s Assis tant Attorney General, he has won golden oppions at the hands of the Bar and the people. Mr. Buchanan is the author of "Buchanan's od"1," a book highly prized by the l?sai profession of ?his State." Dr. Gwaltney piid a high tridute to Rev. A. B. Watson in the pulpit last Sunday morning. His text was suggested by Mr. Watson's departure, "a good miine is rather to be chosen than great riches ; and loving favor rather than silver and gold.71 Mr. Watson had chosen this good name, not selfishly but founded on that greater requisite, a blameless conscience. We voice the sentiment not of Dr. Gwaltney alone, but of the whole town in saying that Mr. Watson's life has been and is a benediction to his native county. The Rev. W. G. Rollins, from the eastern part of the State, is canvassing Edgefield county for the sale of a remarkable book, en titled "Character Sketches." The author is a Baptist minister, but the introductory chapter was writ leu hy Bishop 0. P. Fitzgerald of the Methodist Church. In this chapter tho good Bishop, after speaking in highest terms of the author's Christian character, goes on to say; "I cordially commend this product of his genius. The genius of caricature is inborn and ineradicable. It is God given, and like every other natural endow ment is bestowed for a good pur pose. It is a good th jug to wrest X he effective weapon from the hand of the enemy and wield it for truth and righteousness. The funny pictures no more bolong tn Satan than the good tunes. Tee hook is not sectarian partisan, or personal. It will he rend with avidity. Every member of tim family will find something to instruct /ind enter tain. The illustrations will rive! ?tientiou, and the letter-press will reward that attention with lessons that will he a safeguard against folly ADtJ Incentive ,to goodness," Jury Commissioner Lanham. J. T. Lanham, of our town, has been appointed Jun Commissi? ner by Gov. Tillman. Opera House Entertainment. There will be a delightful enter tainment m our Opera House on the night of the 22nd of December under the auspices of Mr. Weaver, a most laughable comedy. More HOSTS. Our old frie nd,Sampson Wheeler, of tho Saluda side, killed six hogs last week t: at evcraged 214 lbs each, net, and has, besides, corn .enough to do him. Lient.-Gk>v. Timmerman. By the election of Lieutenant Governor Gary to the supreme bench, senator Timmerman, by virtue of his office as President pro. tem of the senate becomes Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina. Bis; Hogs. Jim Sims of Johnstons, has killed this winter a hog, twenty months old, that weighed 650 lbs net, one ten months old that weighed 450, lbs net. He had nine pigs and sold seven of them for $23. The expense of raising the whole lot was $21 ; deduet, leaves $2 as the (olal cost of 1100 lbs of pork. Famous Mansion Burned. Ex-Congressman Tillman's resi dence, at Clarks Hill in this county, was burned on Wednesday morning last vith the greater part of the contents. It is said to have been insured for $3,000. Miss Fannie Tillman was quite ill at the time, but was fortunately in a down stairs room and was removed from the burning building without sustaining injuri?s. A Nice Christmas Present. Gov. Tillman has given to Mrs Annie H olson, of our town, a Christmas present in the shape of a pardon for her son Haile, who had been sentenced to twelve months in the Barnwell jail. Haile was a very youthful offender, and we have no doubt the pardou will make a better man of him than if he had served a full twelve months sentence. We Stand Corrected. In our last issue we stated that Hon W. R. Parks had voted for the salary reduction bill and our other Edgefield members of the Legisla ture had voted against it. We got our information from the News and Courier, but we are rejoiced to know that oil the delegation are in favor of a salary reduction bill and have so veted. We take ofi' our hats to the Edgefield delega tion and sa}': Give 'em fits, knock 'em high ! The New Appointments. The Methodist State Conference held in Sumter last week has ad journed. The appointments were read out last Sunday, and the fol lowing will be of interest to Edge field county people: Rev. A. B. Watson, who has preached at Edge field so acceptably for the past four years, goes to Greenwood. M. N. Brabham comes to Edgefield. Mr. Herbert remains at Johnston. Mr. Travwick remains at Batesburg. T. ?. Ligon at Leesville. E. G. Brice goes to McCormick, in place of J. M. Steadman, who goes to Lancaster. E. A. Wilkes goes'to Parksville, in place of B. O. Berry, who has a charge in Chester county. W. W. Jones will preach at N.,rth Edgefield. O. N. Rountree at But ler. J. E. Beard goes to Granite ville, and C. W. Creighton has charge of the Santee Circuit in Clarendon county. Thc Edgefield Farmer. This paper has ceasi d to make ils weekly and welcome visits ti its patrons. Whether this will be permanent or enly temporary, we are not advised. The Farmer sus pended, not tor want of apprecia tion or ou account of editorial short-comings. Editor James T. Parks wielded a trenchant pen, n.nd his editorial deliverances were widely copied. But friends, coun trymen, and lovers, The Farmer went down because "we are too thicK to thrive." Thr>' is the long and short of it. We are all hard up-Jim Bacon, Jim Parks, and Tom Adams-we all sing the same song, and if neither one of the Jims will sing it for you, come around to the ADVERTISER office you can hear it there any time of day. Here it is: Hard up, oh hard up. Vor W?*nt of food and fire, And we have to tie our shoes up With little bits of wire: Our friends and relations They all turn up their nose Arid rate us as vagabonds For the want of better clothes. CHORUS ; Hard up, oh hard up, We never can forget The days when we were hard up, Though we MAY UK well off yet. Card froin Hon. W. R., Parks. EDITOR ADVERTISER: In your last issue, Dec. 7th, I noticed that you give me credit for being the or.iy one of the Edgefield Repre sentatives that favored or voted for the salary reducion bill-a measure upon which, and in favor of which, we were all supposed to be pledged. Not wishing to enjoy, alone, th* credit which belongs, alike, to my colleagues, justice to them compels me to state that each and every one of them voted for some, if not all, of the proposed amendments to said bill. Indeed, some of our delegation offered amendments vA)\oh were carried. Knowing that my col leagues are entitled to the same credit aB my self and believing that it was un intentional, on your part, to put them in the poeifionpf having re pudiated their pledges to oeonomy, I write this that they may appear aright before their constituents. Very respectfully, tff. ft. PARKS. Columbia, S. C. .?Xantippe," After a Long: Ab sence Ii et urns Again to Gladden Our Readers. MR. EDITOR: Quiten party left Edgefield on Tuesday morning last to attend the Augusta Exposi tion. We arose while the stars were yet shining, and reached the depot on that chill winter morn ing, but we were soon comfortably resting in the warm and cozy car| which was just full enough to make it pleasant, so we leaned back on our crimson plush seale and watched the animated faces around us. Capt. Greneker is the most per fect railroad conductor in the! world. We passed the towns of J Trenton, Aiken, and Graniteville, and at quite an early hour rolled into the gay and progressive city of Augusta. We left the cars at Broad street, which displays large and handsome stores and passed inviting win dows full of pictuies, dry goods, and fruits from every clime. Oranges, bananas, cocoanuts, lem ons, Malaga grapes, and California pears all breathing of blue sky and balmy air, contrasted.with the chill winter morning and the frosty streets. We took in the Arlington Hotel, the bell-tower, picturesque St. Paul's, and Dr. Burrow's church, where the Baptist Congress was hpld. The streets were thronged with people. The Congress and the Exposition combined, accounted for this dense mass. Turning into Tallifiero street, and passing under j the shade of lovely oaks and elms, and admiring many and beautiful residences, we stopped an hour with a friend, who has a charming home, and who is also a delightful hostess. The stay there, however, had to be brief, and gaining thc street once more we reached the electric car. which seemed not to have a seat for a single one more. The conductor, nevertheless, declared that theri was plenty of room, so we packed in like sardines, and rolled out to the fuir grounds, catching on the way a view i.i the dim distance of the stately orphan asylum, Bon Air Hotel, and then the Exposition building loomed up before us. Falling off the car haphazzard, we pushed along to the entrances, |1 presented our tickets and passed through. What a scene of en chantment presented itself! An immense structure and long halls filled on each and ever "de, artis tically constructed log cabins, wheat, corn, cotton, and piles of | mammoth pumpkins which would have served Cinderilla for her| famous chariot. Our eyes fairly ached as we bent overlarge glass cases, containing diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and the largest topaz in the world, so they told us. Thomas ? Barton seem to have taken precedence in matters musical, from tho number of blue ribbons on the pianos and the clashing music they ring out. "Waltz on forever" floated after us os we passed down the vista, and ascended the second story on foot, not risking our unworthy necks in the elevator. The ait department pleased us. On a good mauy pictures, tapes tries, and dainty fancy work, we saw appended the coveted blue ribbon. One piece of tapestry touched us. It was sad and lovely, the beautiful and ill-fated Mary Stuart resigning her crown to the infant Charles I. The beautiful woman, the glittering crown, the weeping attendants, the group of | haughty statesmen and warriors were all portrayed. One beautiful picture in a niobe was a large one of Venus, rosy, blushing, lovely, standing in ashall just risen from the sea with Cupid crouched near her. All the time far-famed Bear den's band chimed out beautiful music, just beneath us. Descending to the lower story once more, we paused in front jf a group, before a sewing machine, tand tried in vain to procure one of ? those gay paper fans, decorated with plaitings of bright machine stiched ribbons, but lu vain, and we contented ourselves with snatching bright advertisements. One thing we thought weirdly beautiful were the caskets, pale lilac and white velvet, lined with satin and costly lace, beautiful and phantom like, with gold handles. To the real again 1 Jjiinch hour approaches ? See pretty waitresses | flitting about the dainty cafes! Beautiful dark eyed girls and golden haired maidens, in white caps and lape trimmed aprons, piquant and Frenchy, ready tq serve chocolate, dainty cakes, coffee, tea, and steaming oyster stews at your gracious will, and having partaken, ?pfreehed, but with lightened purses, we press on. The Bohemian glass display was a lovely oi.e. We had a glimpse also ol' the Cori ia? Engine, ip Pay & fannahill's exhibit. Leaving the building in the rear where there was warmth and beauty we walked out into the frosty air of the grounds, and there witness ed the bicycle races, and looked at the once wonderful Ferris wheel. We did not enter the circus where at the entrance stood the beautiful ballet dancers, but passed on near venders of hot waffles, onions, and garlic not heeding their urgent importunities to par take. Afternoon brought us again into the cbarmedi Exposition building with its altar of rose scented atmosphere, its warmth, beauty, and light. Passing down ihe Midway Plais ance we viewed a bewildering pageant: Japanese, Chinese, Rus sians, Poles, Irish, French, Ameri can-Indiau8, all in a glittering train as they glide by. The afternoon, however, must be spent in heari?g a musicale and Bearden's band agai? sounds forth in heavenly strains. The director marks perfect timo with his baton. Beautiful and gifted Alice Ray mond came forward, fresh and beaming, drawing from her cornet silvery peals entrancing the lis-1 teners. She skimmed off the stage, is encored, and returned looking like a dewy rose. The R?chet brothers also charm ed us in their flying trapeze per formance. Two slender, handsome, dark-eyed youths, graceful in the dance, but our eyes fain would we have covered, lest we should see them dashed to pieces. Then coming on in tights with powdered hair and facRS, living Greek stat uary, they were the perfection of art. They were especially a fine impersonation of tho "Wrestlers." Well, night came on apace, and we had to tear ourselves away from fairy laud, dart out, throw ourselves pellraell into the elec tric car, and fly towards Augusta. The day was closing and our time was up. Goo?!by la belle Augusta. On entering the train we again -saw our prince of railroad officials, Captain Greneker and genial Frank Tompkins. Our old bones were chilled and tired out. As wo leaned back and closed our eyes, we were lulled to sleep by an impromptu concert. Our doziug ?enses took in the musicale and iilso a flirtation in front of us carried on by a very pretty girl md three young men. The train stopped with a jerk! midnight, and historic Edgetield! All honor to the enterprise, progress and vim of Augusta. XANTIPPE. Dots from Ked Hill-Death of Dr. Burkhalter. Mn. EniTOR: "Dr. Charles M. Bu ric h al ter is dead" was sadly an nounced to-day at 12:30 o'clock. While not altogether uuoxpected, yet it is doubly sad, when we real ize that all have lost a friend, a physician, and a neighbor. Dr. Burkhalter's Christian fortitudo was full) exemplified during his professional career, and was made still more beautiful as his life slowly ebbed awSy upon his bed of iong affliction. His kind and gen erous nature to family and neigh bor; his public spirit and profes sional ability are indelibly im pressed upon all. December is upon us, and still we see cotton unpicked, yet it is one of the shortest crops on record mid one of the best falls for gath ering. Grain is looking splendidly aud it is more expensively sown than for years passed. The hard times and scarcity of money have aroused the farmers to renewed energy, and they have realizer}, that money can't be had by growing cotton, but that hog and hominy can be had from growiug other crops.

A Charming: Letter from tli Ridge. .'Hurry along, sorrow and song. All is vanity under the sun Velvet and rags, so the world wag Until the river no more shall run The great Columbian Expos tion is a back number now, but will long live in the memory < those who saw it. As I was ridir. on the Intra-Mural railway lool ing down at the surging mass ( people beneath, the above line sung themselves through my brail There is to be another expositio in 1896, in Paris, they say, an perhaps they will run vestibule and Nancy Hanks trains over thei by that time, or mayhap we ma go in a flying ship. Who will liv to know? Of course the Monetta section i not to be out of the fashion, an the cry of "hard times" is waile by every ono, but during the las cold snap, fat porkers hung hig and dry in every direction. Man; have made good corn crops. Jerse; cows are numerous, potato bank dot each lot, and partridge * ar plenteous in the woods. Even i wild turkey hunt is being talke< of by tho mighty hunters, bu money is scarce. The old veterans all brushed u] and answered to the roll call oi veteran's day. The grey hairs au( stern faces of many of the old sol diers, told all too plainly that lifi for many, since Ijee laid down hil sword at Appomatox, had been i conflict as sharp as any of tbos< fought, on the battlefields. But th< ranks are growing thinner. Soor the fray will be ended, and the) too ''will cross the river, and resi beneath the shade of tho trees." Augusta is a mighty city. The Exposition was a mighty under taking a,t thia time, and we all must admire the spirit with which the people work for their city. But Augusta has too many bar-rooms, for BO fair a city. They are open too, night and day, and apparently did a driving busiupss, they and the etpeet fakirs, if the merchants did not. Monetta bad a Gretna Green af fair not long ago. Mr. Norris Gantt, a handsome young merchant, and Miss Mabel Rutland, the lovely daughter of Mr. James Rutland, wer? the two contracting parties. Mr, Mopes flolstejn and Miss Jujiaare off on a visit to relatives in Newberry. Mr. Purvis Boatwright has been on a short visit to his parents. On his return to Darlington, he was accompanied by his sister, Miss Ethel, who will visit friends and relatives in Darlington, S. C., and Wilmington, N. C. Bateeburg is a humming little city. Drs. Hardin and Fox have entered into partnership, we hear, to couduct a drug business. Prof. Helms, of North Carolina, a teacher fully abreast of the times, has charge of the Batesburg Col legiate Institute. He has a read ing room in connection with the Institute, where the leading journals are taken for the use of his pupils. This inculcates a taste for good reading, and it is now a popular resort of his pupils of all ages. A good school does wonders fer any place. And now, Mr. Editor, can't you give us some information as to the postal rules and regulations along this R. & D. road? Some of the railroad agents are also postmas ters, and as far as I know very polite and accommodating, but we should have some knowledge as to the mails. Is it optional with the postmasters on Sundays to send off [or to make up no mail matter although they are at the office wheu trains arriva and depart? Aie we never to have any reform as to our county public schools? Is the count}' ever to be school dis tricted, and a comfortable school house in each district? Some of the old rookeries now used as schoolhouses are certainly a dis grace to any State, and in some neighborhoods the same trustees are appointed "world without end." Sciiool commissioners are like other people you know, and can't afford to offend voters. We were to have the commissioner appoint ed and not elected. Reform, re form is badly needed. Our public school system is a pitiful and dis graceful farce. VIATOR. Ridge Spring, S. C. I DISEASES^ .ITO WOMENS Have used nnd recommended it to my friends. All derived great benefltfrom its usc.

SINCE the passage and enforcement of the Dispensary law in this State many of our "best citizens" have suf fered for want of good pure liquor, which they have been unable to get even at enormous prices. This long | felt want can be fully supplied by THE HAYNER DISTILLING CO., of Spring field, Ohio, in their "Harvest Home Rye" a pure double copper distilled 6 year old Rye Whiskey, at the extremely low price of $3.00 per gallon, all ex press charges pre-paid. It is put up in a box wired and sealed with no marks or brands so no one can know what the box contains. In no case do we ship less than two gallons, but you can divide the order in two one gallon packages if desired, which allows you two different kinds of goods inj a two gallon shipment. It is always best to buy any class of goods direct from the manufacturers j and save the jobbers profit. If you need anything in this line write LOCK Box 290, Springfield, Ohio, for price I list.
