So far as we have beeu able to
learn a leBS quantity of fertilizers
has been bought by the farmers of
Edgefield county this spring than
for many years. It may be a case
of necessity with them, that they 1
are not able to buy, but we believe
this necessity will be a blessing in 1
the end for we are sure the indis- 1
criminate use of commercial fer- '
tilizers has been a curse.
i
Lexington county has brought !
forward the name of J. Walter
Mitchell, Esq., for Congress, to 1
fill Judge Brawley's place. Mr. 1
Mitchell is an Edgefield county
man, and Edgefield county would
like to see him win. The Loxing- '
ton Dispatch thus speaks of him :
. "Judge Mitchell is an honest,
courteous, and clever gentleman, a
red hot reformer, iu thorough sym
pathy with the Alliance demands,
of broad and liberal views, and if
elected would do credit to himself
and his constituents in Congress,
and we would be pleased to hear
of his nomination."
We heard a Methodist preacher
of this county in speaking of the
dispensary law recently say this:
"I prefer prohibition, but if the
present dispensary law could re
main on the statute book twenty
five years, there will not be a
young man in South Carolina
then who would have ever been in
a barroom ora gambling saloon
in all his life, unless he learned
these things, and did ?iese thing
out of the State. Thia makes the
law one of iucalculabh promise,
and will bring down blessings
from heaven on the people that
uphold and sustain it.
The Confederate veterans who
met bore on last monday were
very few in number, in fact it waa
a very small affair. The impres
sion has gone abroad throughout
Edgefield county that this
organization is to be used for
political purposes and this im
pression, whether true or false has
kept many very many from joining.
We are assured by members
thaijthere is no political scheme or
purpose involved by the old
soldiers themselves, and any
attempt to turn it in that direction
-v-iii" be promptly and sharply
rebuked. We hope tharefore, this
thing won't drag any longer, and
that every old soldier in the
county will unite himself with
this -organization. It is a duty he
owes to himself and posterity.
Married, Feb. 4th, 1894, by the
Rev. J. P. Mealing, Mr. Abner
Corley and Miss Dorma Reynolds,
all of Edgefield county.
Mr. J. C. Whitlock, of the Vau

The Edgefield Rifles bas been

Globe Acid.
The following will explain itself:
COLUMB:A, S. C.. Feb. 2.
DEAR SIR : We to-day received'|
the Clemson College report of our
Acid Phosphate for season of 1894 :
i.p. A.P. Pot- R.e.
Acid. Acid. ash. Vd.
1.46 13.47 2,58 16.05
1800 1?S. Globe Acid, 12.12 2.32 14.44
1600 " " " 10.77 2.06 13,77
So that 9 sacks of Globe Acid is
ivor? h more than IO sacks of any
ather Acid which has a commercial
value of less than 14.44.
And 8 sacks of Globe is worth
more than 10 sacks of any other
Acid which has a commercial value
)f less than 12.77,
These are our reasons for asking]
nore for our Acid Phosphate than
nany compauies.
Clemson gave us the highest
inalyses last season of any Acid
made in the State, this season our
inalysip goes still higher.

Gen'l Agent.
Mr. Rainsford Cantelou.
Mr. Rainsford Cantelou died at
his home in the suburbs of Edge
field on Saturday night last, aged
about; sixty-one years. For many
sveary months he had languished
apon a bed of extreme illness, and
ao words can express the anguish
Df his dear ones as they witnessed
sufferings which their tender min
istrations could not relieve. After
long and patient waiting for re
lease his tired soul entered into
rest. In the early dawn of an
earthly Sabbath he passed into the
joys of the eternal Sabbath with
its calm and peace and full fruition
of earthly hopes and longiugs. Mr.
Cantelou was one of our most
estimable citizens, a man of high,
unblfmished character, generous,
hospitable, upright in heart and
life, blameless in his relations ae
husband, father, frinnd, and citi
zen. Ile was a successful and
prosperous man, a most influential
member of our community, whose
influence for good will long be felt.
Years ago he joined our village
Baptist Church and was a working
Chrietiau, frequently giving testi
mony in the congregation of his
faith in, and love for Christ.
He leaves a widow, three sons,
Messrs. James, Joseph H., and
Bettis Cantftlou, and one daughter,
Miss Mary Cantelou. To these
bereaved ones we tender our deep
est sympathy in their heavy afflic-J
tion.
"Down Went McGinty."
The following account of a little
"scrap" Countable Tom Whittle
got into in Charleston, we clip
from the News and Courier:
The participants in the encoun
ter were Constables Thomas Whit
tle, of Edgefield, and John Stroebel,
ot Barnwell. Constable Whittle
is a man who is well known
throughout the State, having been
doorkeeper of the Senate for four
years. Like thc most of his fellow
countrymen he is not slow to anger,
>md when he resents an insult he
does so in a prompt and vigorous
manlier. Constable Stroebel is a
large man of a dark complexion,
and physically looks like he oughi
to be more than a match for hit
opponent, but Couustable Whittle
while not so tall, has a powerful
frame and looks like he was capa
ble of taking care of himself in
any kind of a crowd.
The scrap, happened about ID
thi8way: Constables Stroebel and
Whittle were to go down to th
wharf yesterday afternoon to seee
the Clyde boat "come in. Constable
Whittle askea Constable Stroebel
to wait for him,while he went up
to his room in the Commercial
House. When he came back he
found Constable Stroeblehad gone
off and left him. It seems that
Constable Whittle I hen went down
to the wharf and there the music
was not slow to begin. Constable
Whittle went up to Constable
Stroebel and asked him why he
had not waited for him. Stroebel
replied that he could not be wait
ing all day on Whittle.
The latter then told him that
recently he (Stroebel) had on
numerous occasions misrepresent
ed him and tried to place him in
a bad light. Stroebel denied it,
but Whiff e told him he was a
liar and at the same time Btruck
him a stinging blow over the head
with his walking stick. Strorebel's
bat went flying. He stepped off
to pick it up and started back at
Constable Whittle in a threatenidg
manner. As Stroebel came up to
him Constable Whittle gave him
a straight one from the shoulder
striking him in the chest. This
ended the conflict.
From the best imformatiou that
could be obtained it does not seem
that Constable Stroebel was
hankering after a fight. The set
to was lively while it lasted, but
it appears that it was the Ed?efleld
man's fight from the minute time
was called until the round ended.
News from Franklin.
MR. EDITOR: Farmers here
abouts are all trying again to git
ready to make some more cotton
and lees corn. Hard times is the
universa! cry, and of all classes of
men the farmer should be the last
mau to make such a cry, for they
ought to be and could be the most
independent people in the world.
With hog and hominy no man can
perish. But when a man makes a '
hard bed he ought to lie on it, and
cotton makes a hard bed.
Grip hae left this section, and as
a consequence the gee-haw is heard
again from the plow-boy, and the
axe and maul are heard in every
direction. A good sign ; and even
Cuffee has made up his mind to
work a little better than ever be
fore.
Miss Sal!ie Reel, from the Dun
tonville section, is visiting in this
vale of tears, and some of the boys
will shed tears when she leaves.
Miss Sallie is a charming young
lady, and blessed will be the man
who shares the trials and joys of
life with her.
Miss Agues Morgan has a flour
ishing school at Barr's Chapel,
and is well liked by both patrons
and pupils, She will teach a Bible
class at Barr's Chapel and we look
for much improvement both in
church and school.
We see your next door neighbor
still gives the dispensary law "hail
Columbia."
We do not believe a word as to a
constable striking a lady in Char
leston. Why? Because South
Carolina has no sucn men. Even
the lowest of the low have too
much respect for women to strike
jne.
The Big Paper man reminds me
Df an occurrence in Alabama away
back in the good old days. A feller
by the name of Johnson fell in
love with a gal by the name of
Sal. One Sunday Johnson went
to see Sal, and Sal persuaded him
to stay till after supper that they
might have a little love chat after
wards. Well at the supper table,
ma being a little unwell, Sal had
to pour out the coffee and she mo
tioned Johnson to sit on her left ?
that he might not get burnt with
the coffee pot. It made him very '
happy to be so near Sal, and while
looking all around to see if every
body was as happy as he was a big
black cow bug dropped into his
cup of coffee. Not seeing the bug
when it foll in the cup he was
puzzled to know how it got there,
but concluded that Sal put it there
to try hie love, thinking that if he
drank the coffee with the bug in
it his love would be true. He
would look at the bug and then
look at Sal, and at last concluded
that rather than hurt Sal's feel
ings he would shut his eyes and
go it blind and drink coffee, bug
and all, and so he did. This we
suppose is the way with the' Big
Paper. Rather than lose the big
pay received for harping on Till
man and the dispensary he shuts
his eyes and swallows down the
gieatest curse ever known to man,
the barrooms. We are still for
Tillman and the dispensary.

Happenings at Parksvillc.
MR. EDITOB : At 10 o'clock Sun
day morning we had, as usual,
Sunday-school at the Baptist
Church, with a large attendance
and interest still increasing. At
ll o'clock Rev. G. W. BusBey
preached an excellent sermon from
2nd Cor. 5-20 :
"Now then we are ambassadors
for Christ as though God did be
seech you by us : We pray you in
Christ's st^ad, be ye reconciled to
God."
He divided the text into four
heads. First, what is an ambassa
dor. Second, what is the duty of
a i ambassador. Third, the com
i mission of an ambassador. Mr.
Bussey is remarkable for his depth
of thought aud clearness.
In the afternoon we had our
regular semi-monthly Bible society
the subject Faith. Nothing is so
improving to the young as
these meetings.
Miss Molona Parks, daughter of
Hon. W. R. Parks, worshiped at
the Parksville Baptist Church last
Sunday.
Rev. W. A. Wilkes, pastor of the
Methodist Church, organized a
Sunday Sunday School at his
Church on last Sunday. He is
proving himse f a most excellent
man and model pastor.
Miss Laura Dorn, niece of our
worthy townsman Mr. L. F. Dorn,
has been on a visit here for some
time, but will return to her home
in a few days. There will be weep
ing among the boys.
Rev. G. H. Burton, of McCor
mick, was in town on Monday last,
the guest of Mr. Dorn.
Mis? Alice Scott, one of Barn- ?
well's brightest and loveliest .
daughters, is on a visit to relatives ]
aud friends of our town.
Our town is not flighted by
agents and drummers. Not more
than a hundred pass to and fro
every day, and we are on a boom
judging from the number of "grip
sacks" that go up and down our
streets.
The interest in our literary so
cie'y is wonderful, old and young
attend. There have been several
new features introduced of late,
much to the amusement and edi
fication of those who attend.
The sad news comes to our town of
the death of Mrs. W. A. Cartledge,
of Modoc. Our town extends
deepest sympathies to the bereft
husband and children.

Red Hill Items.
MR. EDITOR : The winters chill
ing breeze has changed our spring
like weather into winter at last
and we are once more reminded of I
the true situation, that we are in
the midst of winter. Many of the
little fruit buds were being decoj'
ed from their hiding places, but '
we trust that Ihe cold winds will
again make them seek their winter
quarters to come forth in due time 1
with a bountiful supply of fruit ,
to help lighten the burdens that <
are now so very oppressive. Jan
uary, as is usually the case, was j
taken up in "trying to get straight." ?
Very little plantation work has 1
been done and the "hard times" ,
keep the planters from making j
improvements in buildings, except ?
from actual necessity. !
The gra?n crops in this and
other sections of the county, over ?
which the writer has been, are not i
as flourishing as they should be, 1
judging from the mildness of the -
winter, yet the stands are perfect, 1
and with no further hindrance the ;
promises are good for a bountiful J
yield. !
The guano craze is not so great 1
among the farmers of the west ,
Bid?- aa in years past, and some 1
Beem indifferent as to buying at ?
all. Yet farmers are somewhat !
like sheep, when one jumps the ,
fence they all follow, believing the 1
pastures are greener on the other
Bide. 1
The free schools are upon us and
Bvery one wantB a school located ;
at his spring, and it is generally
allowed to keep down "hard feel- !
ing8." The little pupil who learn- <
Bd to spell a little last year will
learn about the same this term j
and be ready to begin at the same
old place next term. Our repre- ,
sentatives could build for them- ,
selves a monument as lasting as j
th? rocks of Gibraltar by solving i
the school question and devising I
some plan by which the schools J
could be centralized and continued ,
for five or six months or longer <
each year. Will not some ot our 1
prospective candidates give the
ball a start? Charity begins at
home and we should look to the :
welfare of those who are to rule us
in the years to come, and uo law
could be a greater blessing than ?
placiug in reach of the masses of
the people a good free school.
Death has again irvaded the
homes of the Cartledge family.

Collcting Railroad Taxes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.
The absence of a law making the
taxes due from railways a first
lien on their earnings the propose
of a bill to which some considera
tion was given this morning by
the House judiciary Committee.
The bill provides a way by which
State, county and municipal taxes
due from railways in the hands or
recivers may be paid. It was repre
sented to the committee that a
number of Southern railways are in
the hands of receivers and that
difficulties are experienced in col
lecting the taxes. The bill was
discussed at some length but the
committee adjourned before tak
ing action upon it.
Sorry Spectacle.
Charleston is making a sorry
spectacle of herself in going to
war in support of the lawless char
acter of the city, who would annul
the satutes of the. state. Charles
ton has so long ruled this state by
a wise judicious cause that she may
now thinkj she can do the same
thing by force, but when a great
I city like Charleston alline herself
with the worst element of the
town as against the legal and recog
nized civil authority of the state
she will find the error of her way.
If Charleston is, however, seek
ing for Tillman's re-election for a
third term, then she is pursuing
the proper course. The law will be
enforced even if it takes Tillman
to enforce it. There is ju:it no use
of talking about the Charleston
liquor n?.ob ruling South Carolina.
This newspaper would sooner be
ruled hy any lawful authority than
by a liquor mob,even if that mob
w&e supported by the daily news
