Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1894. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. Mist- Marie Sheppard is spend ing the week at Johnston. Capt. Geo. Lake who has been ill with pneumonia, we are glad to state, is up. Mr. Alvin Hart has returned from New York, and his goods have commenced to arrive. There are one hundred and five names on the Edgefield county pension roll, five more than the first year. Senator Butler is having his house on the Butler hill repainted isnide and out preparatory to its occupancy by himself and family. Presiding Elder Hodges wil lbe at Edgefield on Saturday, April loth, at Johnston on the 14th, and at Trenton and Harmonv on the 15th. We are requested to announce that an entertainment of the Sun beam Society of Rehoboth Baptist Church will be given on Friday, April 13th. Admission, adults 25c, children 15c. A newspaper man bas started on an expedition to the north pole. We never believed that lhere is any pole there, but if there is, we ven ture the prediction that he will find it, and bring a piece of it back with him. It is announced ir. the Baptist Courier that Dr. Gwaltney will preach the sermon before the an nual meeting of the Woman's Mission Society of the Ridge Spring Church on the second Sun day in April, next Sunday. Edgefield .is proud of the way in which her citizen-soldieiy respond ed to the call of the Governor on last Saturday. Gen. Lee said that duty is the sublimest Avord in the English language, and this is Edgefield's conception of it. Gov. Tillman may rely absolutely and implicitly on Edgefield's four mili tary companies. Ridgefield Medical Society. The Edgefield Medical Society will meet on Wednesday, April 11th, to elect delegates to the State Convention, and for the transac tion of other business. Citizens 3Iee?ing. We are requested to announce that a me?ting of the citizens of our town will be held in the court house on Thursday of this week, at 4 o'clock .n the afternoon, the purpose being to nominate au In tendant and five wardens. Loganville, Ohio. _, Dr. Ouzts has received an order from a big poultry farm in Ohio for four sittings of eggs. His birds are making a reputation at home and abroad. He is breeding Wyan dotte8 and Plymouth Rocks from the best American strains and sells eggs at $2.00 per sitting. Smoked Meat. Will Adams has regular old fashioned smoked meat in strips, and at the same price as the white -neat. To sit down to the break fast table with a leather hoe cake before you and a plate full of this bacon broiled or fried, nicely pep pered and buttered, reminds one of the good old times before the war, when every body was rich and had niggers. 1800 and Froze to Death. The peaches and pears and plums were killed by the last freezes beyond peradventure. Ap ples, except the very early varie ties, and blackberries are safe. Vegetables, beets, peas, Irish po tatoes were all killed. Corn that was up in many cases killed down flat, but may come out from the bud. Buds on the oak trees were also killed, and it is probable there - will be no acorns this year. Per simmons are gone too. ''Where shall rest bG found?" Free Delivery. During the discussion of the postoffice appropriation bill last week, Congressman Talbert made an earnest speech in behalf of the farmers for an appropriation for free delivery of the mails in the rural districts. His speech was loudly applauded and the appro priation granted. So now we may expect that in Sodom, Lickskillet, Tickville, aud Doodle Hill, the United States mail will drive up to (.very man's door and deliver his mail in person. Badinage asidp this experiment ought to have been made long ago. The farmers paj as much to mail their letters as the town folks, and why should they not enjoy the same facilities? This old government of ours will get right after a while, but it does seem to take it a long time. Had to Cuss. When the Edgefield Rifles reach ed the depot in Columbia on Satur day afternoon they were met there by John Catiline Haskell and a crowd of citizens who began to ex expostulate with them and at tempted to seduce them from their allegiance to their duty, to obey the laws of their country. This same racket had been successfully played with the Columbia com panies and with the Newberry com pany-to their eternal disgrace. But the Edgefield 'ioys were made of sterner stuff-they ,-let in'' to "cussin"' and they cursed Haskell and his crew until their impreca tions and maledictions Shook the sere loaves from the trees As though a storm passed by. Boys! it is wicked to cuss, but if it had to be done, we know of no fitter occasion and no more cuss-deserving cusses than the cusses you cussed. CORRESPONDENCE [For the ADVERTISER. Rippling^ from Faifa. MR. EDITOR: The city dudes who sold their winter suits in order to purchase a seersucker-straw-hat outfit are looking rather billious since the recent cold wave. Corn, watermelons, and most of the garden vegetables are to-day twining with the woodbine. From cold experience I find it humiliating in the extreme to a man who wraps his only blanket around his pet fruit tree to discover in the freezy morn' his hopes of at least one pie blasted. "Verily all is vanity and vexation of spirit." I think if we should warm upon politics a little the temperature would keep up. Candidates come out fiatflooted, even tho' barefoot ed-hand over that big V to the ADVERTISER and start in motion the great hot ball of politics and help the sun warm up the earth. Every little's a help as the sow said when she snapped at the gnat. We shall soon miss the bright, smiling face of our young school teacher, Miss Fanuie Bussey. Her school closes with the free term and she will return to her father's home. Three cheers, an arm "cheer," and a grinding stone for Tillman and th" dispensary. RIP V. WINKLE. Faifa, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. Elmwood News. MR. EDITOR: We had the past week two big frosts that have done considerable damage to the grain crop. Oats that were jointing look as if they were singed and have fallen down on the ground. Corn that was up is bitten down. Gar den peas and cabbage are also down flat and gardeners are very low spirited at this time, but it is all right. If it had not been the disaster would not have befallen us. Farmers are driving right along preparing fora big cotton crop. I am sorry to say it's so, but nevertheless it's so. They had bet ter make plenty of corn and bacon and live at home. The country never will be in a prosperous con dition until farmers make their supplies at home. Then they will not need so much money. I have uot'ceu men who do make their supplies and they always get au bet:er than those who raised so much cotton. They are in easy circumstances, live well, pay their honest debts are never fail to pay for their newspaper. LOOKER ON. Elmwood, S. C. Union Meetings.

TROOPS THAT WENT. The following companies went : Butler Guards, 16 men; Dibble Light Dragoons, Orangeburg, 31 men ; Maxwell Guurds, of Green wood, 30 men ; Morgan Rifles, or Clifton, 30men ; Hampton Guards, of Spartanburg, 24 men ; Sally Rifles, 30 men; Palmetto Rifles, of Aiken, 16 men; Forte Mote Guards, 15 men; the Edgefield Hussars and the Light Dragoons, of the same place, combined and mustered 35 men ; Greenville Guards, 16 men ; Abbeville Rifles. 20 men. Capt. James H. Tillman went with the treops. He said he had ordered bis company, the Capers Light Infantry, to Darlington, and he expected to meet them there, 96 strong. There was a force of exactly 492 men, all told. A num ber of boxes of cartridges were placed upon the train. When the Governor ceased the troops present broke into loud cheers, which they kept up for ful ly a minute. After issuing 6ome minor orders the Governor drove off to the mansion. The soldiers were then marched out of the grounds for the train. COL. MIXON IN COMMAND. The Edgefield Rifles, the Edisto Rifles and the volunteer country companies, as well as the Newber ry company, were left here pre sumably to be on hand in case their j services were needed in the capi tal city. " AFTER THE MISSING GUNS. It soon became known ? hat Gov ernor Tillman had issued peremp tory orders to Capts. Alston and Capers, demauding immediate re turn to him of the guns which had been taken from their respective armories, Both of these gentle men answered the Governor that it ?vas not known who did remove them, and they were in absolute ignorance as to their whereabouts. It became known that the cap tains found it impossible to obey the. Governor's order a number of most prominent citizens, in the in terest of peace and order, and in Drder to prevent Governor Tillman taking the withholding of the [juns as an excuse for extreme measures, interested themselves in the matter, and earnestly advised those who knew anything about the whereabouts of the arms of the Volunteers and the Zouaves to tum them over to the captains of the companies, so that they could deliver them to the Governor. Thc advice came from a large . number of the most influential and most thoroughly trusted citizens, and the youug men soon expressed their willingness to take the ad vice given, and will do everything in their power to- put their cap tains in possession of the guns, and enable them to comply with the order. Capts. Alston and Ca pers were of the same opinion ex pressed by the leading citizens and earnestly urged the men to deliver the guns. If possible, this will be done tomorrow. SO DEMONSTRATION AT DARLINGTON. Darlington, S. C., April 1. Upon receipt of. the news of 300 State troops being sent here under General R. N. Richbourg, the ad visory committee promptly met. After a serious consideration of all sides of the question it wai de cided thot no effort would be made to have the troops stopped,, nor ?vould any resistance be offered to iheir taking quarters here. It ?vas some time before some of the more hot-headed citizens could be convinced that this was the only and best course. Prominent citi jeus from Columbia and other parts or the State begged the peo ple of Darlington to receive the military without demonstration. The Darlington Guards have gone to meet the military, which, at ?) :15, had not yet arrived. COMING TO THEIR SKNSE9. The people of Darlington are deter mined that no destruction to State property shall be permitted here, and ast night when an ell'ort was made to loot the dispensary it was promptly resisted. During the morning an effort ivas made to organize the citizens to .esist the country volunteers that Gov. Tillman has called for. Mayor Dargan ind other prominent citizens address- 1 ;d the men, and advised them not to nake any such demonstration, but to .emain perfectly quiet, as the under standing was that Gov. Tillman would lo nothing to exoite the people here, ind that the military would under no circumstances be allowed toc?me here. Sen. Farley was of the opinion that 1 :here was absolutely no occasion for ;he bringing of the military. The peo- 1 plehere did not at all like the idea of he Western Union Telegrrph office at Jolumbia being put under censorship m their account. With all of the oili ;ers in tne city, all of the constables of he county, and all the people bent jpon keeping the peace, comes the news that 900 troons from Columbia lave started on their way here. Al ibis hour, 6 o'clock p. m., efforts are aeing made to have the troops return 1 :o Columbia, on the ground that their presence can do no possible good. GOVERNOR TILLMAN'S TELEGRAM. The following message has been re ceived by the advisory committee : Columbia, S. C., April 1, 1894. W. C. Coker, and Others, Darlington : 1 am glad to have your assurances ol' juiet prevailing at Darlington, but inned bodies of Insurgents are still in ;he country ,t -ying to murder the State ifticers, so 1 am informed. As soon as ife and liberty are safe in both coun ties I will issue a proclamation restor ing the civil status. [Signed) ii. R. TILLMAN, Govern ir.

Altogether there ?ire 250 men. comprising well drilled organizations. Gen. Richbourg said that he Lad come to Darlington with iirders to preserve the peace, arni that he positively uad no instructions to make any arrests.

There was neyer a time in the his tory of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences ol mankind in the factory and work shop, the household, on the farm, and in ollicial life, require continual ac cessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time, and expense. The political change in the administration of the government does not all'ect the progress of the American inventor, wi o being on the alert' and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the all'airs of government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existingdiscrepencies. Too great care cannot be exercised in chooa uga competent and skillfully attor ney to prepare and prosecute an ap plication for patent. Valuable intersts 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 of 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 thr fee then due. THK PKESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager, GIS F street, N. W., Wash ington, P. C.. representing a large number of important daily and weekly papers, as well as general peoiodicals nf the country, was instituted to pro tect ?ls patrons from the unsafe mel hods heretofore employed in this line ol' business. The said Company is prepared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for reasonable lees, 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.
