Edenfield Advertiser mOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR THURSDAY, DEC. 21, 1893. Arizona has been admitted into the Union, and become one of the stars, making forty-five in all. Judge Townsend is the first of the new judges to don the ermine. He will hold court in Orangeburg in January noxt. The county government bill has passed the Senate. As this is an important measure we will publish it entire if it should become a law. There are 400,000 more pension ers on the pension rolls of the gov ernment than there were soldiers in the Confederate armies. We must have done some tall shooting in those days. Edgefield county simply stands appalled at the prospect of the dismemberment of her territory by the establishment of Greenwood county. To-day, Tuesdav, the bill comes up in the Senate, haring already passed the House. If it should pass that body and become a law there will be a day of reck oning. Accor ding to Senators Bate and George who have been investigat ing the question of "future" sales in the cotton market, they find that 52,000,000 bales were sold in New York and 16,000,000 bales in New Orleans last year, while the total crep was only 7,759,000 and New York really handled only 419,0000 bales. Since Governor Lewellyn's cir cular to the Chiefs of Police in the Kansas cities instructing them to treat tramps kindly and not lo arrest them under the vagrant act, which he declares is unconstitu tional that State has become a paradise for tramps, and every railroad running into the State is crowded with them.' We commend the following sen sible remarks of the Union Times : "Let us give the new officers and the new measures, fair and honest trials, and if they prove to be good reforms our plain duty ?B to uphold them; but if they prove to the people to be like a shadow in the water to the dog crossing the stream with a piece of meat in his mouth, and dropped the meat in grasping for the shadow, although it may be a severe lesson, th.- people will very summarily call a halt. If we can't trust the Legislature we can depend on the people to turn 'em out." Senator Butler has evidently convinced Gen. Hampton that the "double-ender" clubs wouldn't do, and these two are evidently now in entire accord as to what should be the programme next year. Those very bitter antis who, training with the Columbia State, maintain that Tillman is always wrong and that Tillmanism is treason to good gov ernment, are to take back seats in the council chamber, and the re cognition of the good and the re jection of the bad in the Tillman dynasty is to take its place as the political strategy of 1894. BEWARE OF THE GRIP. The following from the Augusta Chronicle is so apropos of the season that we publish it as an editorial : The grip or influenza of some type is very prevalent now all over the country, and while for lhe most part it seems to be a mild type of the malady, it is never theless so general in its victims, so insidious in its attack, and so capable of serious compications that we warn our readers against thoughtless and needless exposure and against careless treatment after being attacked. The mildness of the disease is its worst feature, for it seems so little more than a severe cold, that those attacked are likely not to pay proper heed to it, and by exposure to bring on pneumonia or some other serious complication. The worst feature of the grip is the way in which it undermines the nervous system, and causes serious results to fol low from diseases which ths con stitution would readily resist un der ordinary conditions. It seems to have taken .root as oue of the regular maladies which must be expected, and it is ^so general in its attack as to become rapidly epidemic and assails infancy and old age alike. Is Europe it is equally prevalent and generally of a more acute type. The Austrian Parliament was forced to adjourn bocausa of its prevalence among the members and among the officials of the several departments of state. Taken in hand promptly and treated intelligently it is easily brokenup,but neglected it is likely to beeome serious in its after .effects, if not in the immediate illness. Be careful before getting ?t, and doubly careful afterwards. LEGISLATIVE. , The Senate has passed the bil] for the repeal of railroad charters where roads have not paid their taxes, giving them, however, six months within which to redeem themselves by paying their taxes. This body has also passed the redistricting bill, the new dispen sary bill, and county governmont bill, besides a lot of small fry bills that are only of loeai importance. The House has passed the Green wood county bill, and that is aboUf all to date. The adjournment is a question of uncertainty, and may or may not take place before Christmas. The supply bill was introduc3d in the House on Friday last. The State levy in this bill is fixed at 5 mills and the county levy at 4$. Making a total levy in Edgefield county of 9? mills, nearly 1 mill less than the levy for the past year, which we are paying now. The redistricting bill-putting Charleston in the Black district had passed the Senate, but was killed in the House, when on Friday last a motion was made to reconsider, and during the debate quite an exciting scene occurred, in which Josh Ashley, of Ander son, the shooting star of the House, called Watts, the newly elected judge, a "cowardly whelp,'' and went for bim, but some of the members grabbed the tails of his jimswinger and held him in leash until the clouds rolled by, Jeii A NEW SILVER BILL. Senator Vorhees, of Indiana, has introduced a quasi silver bill in Congress that puzzles the oldest inhabitants of the capital. Four ideas are comprised in the bill. The first is the coinage of the seignorage or profit fund, which has resulted from thc coin age of silver bullion under the acts of 1878 and 1S90, or which would result from the coinage of such bullion. The second is the purchase, after the seigniorage shall be coiued, of so much silver bullion at the market rates as would coin $2,000,000 a month,and its monthly coinage. The third is the retirement of all paper money under the denomination of $10 in the case of national bank notes, or of $5 in that of United States notes, so that coin shall take their place, and this idea is made the more binding by a provision pro hibiting the further coinage of $2.50 and $5 gold pieces. The fourth is that the President in au thorized to appoint commissioners, five in number, to an international monetary conference to secure in ternational fixity of the relative I money value between gold and sil ver. Whether such a bill, should it become a law, would give any monetary belief to the country no mortal can tell, for it neither runs with the hare or holds with the hounds. Il is neither a silver or an anti silver measure, and it seems will please nobody but its author, and probably will not please him lons. ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY Comptroller-General Ellerbehas issued instructions to county au ditors that they must assess prop erty of all kinds at its full value in money. The circular is a long one and we cannot publish it in full. On this particular point of the proper valuation of property Gen. Ellerbe says: "There ie no law for assessing and equalizing taxable property upon a basis of 66$ per cent, or any other basis than its "true value in money." Our laws require all taxable property real, personal, possessory, to be placed upon the tax books at the "true value in money." Lands worth $1.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, or more, should be assessed at that value, no more and no less. Bank stock worth $20.00 above par value of $100 should be assessed at $120 per share, and others in proportion. Bank stock worth less than par value should be assessed at its value, and no more. CONDITIONAL REPEAL. The sub-committee of the House Banking and Currency Committee of Congress having charge of the various bille providing for repeal of the ten per cent tax on State bank issues, have agreed on the bill and will report to the full commit tee to-morrow. The measure they will submit to) the full committee for considera tion provides for the conditional j repeal of the ten per cent tax. The Illiacl of Our Woes. Charleston Sun. Perhaps nothing has so driven iron into the soul of the polilical element now dominant in th*? State SLB the wholesale and unscrupulous misrepresentation with which they have been pursued in some of the newspapers, and it is to this, as every one now knows, that we owe the relentless animosity with which this element has turned upon Charleston and is seeking in every possible way to cripple and crush the metropolis of the State. As a nie. specimen! product of this ruinous and senseless newspaper policy wi reproduce the following silly stuff | which appeared in the News an< Courier yesterday over the signa ture of "R. R. B :" There never was a people so blinded as the Tillmanites are. They think and say that he is the grandest man South Carolina ever produced. What has he done foi the people? They have been grow ing poorer every year since he has been Governor, and yet the poor fools are so blinded they can't see it, and are haping f >r better times. I have never seen the peo ple in such a. condition as they are now. We really have not money to pay our taxes, and where the money is to come from I don't know. Our crops are half what we expected, and the low price of cotton has been the last straw on the camel's back. You cannot imagine the suffer ing that there is in the country now. Many have not made half enough corn to do them, and they have no hogs to kill and no mouey to buy meat, so they are living on dry bread, and that will not last a very long time, and afterward God only knows what they will do." This is on a par wi'h the Re publican stock argument that the hard times now prevealing r.ll over) the country are due to the election os a Democratse President. The Tillmanites are no doubt "blinded" in some degree to the Governor's qualities, but in that do not display one-tithe the idiocy of those who would hold bim res ponsible for tho visitations of Drovidence. Getting Rid of Rats. An Ohio farmer, writing to the American Agriculturist, says: On the barn floor I placed a thirty six gallon kettle filled full of rye. A plank six feet long led from the floor to the top of the kettle, j The rye was left in the kettle for about a fortnight, until the rates had become thoroughly familia; with the kettle and were making [it 'the headquarters for their nightly revels with seeming con fidence that no harm was intended) when, very treacherously one [evening, water was substituted for the grain, and a half-inch of chat! from the barn floor concealed the waler. The result was that twentj'-one drowned rats were forked out the. first . morning and sixty-two within a week, and afb-r that no rats were seen i"or a year. How to Treat Sandy Soil. If the eandy soil has clay or otherwise tenacious subsoil, so that manure will not leach out of it, keeping it in good cropping conditions is not difficult. Good catches of clover ean be got. on very poor sands by us?* of potash manures, and wherever clover will grow it will supply the vegetable matter which is needed to keep soil from washing. But once let sandy soil become thoroughly exhausted, and it is less hopeful than an exhausted clay soil. The latter generally protects itself from los? by forming itself into lumps, which neither rains nor roots can penetrate and which only need breaking up to restore fertility again. An exhausted sandy soil needs to to be built up from nothing, supplying all the elements of fertility. Editor A. B. Williams is one of | the few faction editors in the State who can on occasions look at both sides of a question. Writing from Columbia, he says : The consev atives here are all talking now of the new judge who will succeed Judge Simonlon. Many of them are looking with ex treme delight, to the prospect of haviug Judge Hudson appointed. It is queer how fast and com pletely people turn on their own tracks in political matter?. The very men who denouuoed Tillman and the South Carolina legislature for carding politics on the bench and punishing Judge Hudson for a decision, new propose that the President of the United States carry politics on the bench and re ward Judge Hudson for a decision and punish Tillman. Alfred T. Jones, of North Caro lina, cousu! general to Shanghai, died on the steamer at sea on the 9th inst while en route to his post of dnty: The New York Sun's San Francisco dispatch says: The remains of Alfred D. Jones. Ameri can Consul General al Shanghai, were brought in yesterday by the steamer Rio Janeiro. Mr. Jone? become insane in Shanghai, and it was determined to remove him to America. Soon after the steam er sailed he become violont and dangerous. He was manacled after a desperate fight in his cabin, in which he was cut and disfigured.
