Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1894. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. Almost a frost on last Sunday morning agaiu. Wan tad-20 Cats, a* once, apply to W. H. Turner. Note that there are several Dem cratic club meeting advertised in this issue. To use a slang phrase, Tillman "rung the bell" when he closed the Dispensaries. Miss Ashley, of Trenton, is spending sometime with Miss j Mamie Addison. Mrs. Vandyke and Mri. King, of Rome, Ga., are visiting their father, Dr. L. R. Gwaltney. Even the antis are now saying that "the Supreme Court bit off more than she could chaw." Au elegant line of furniture al ways on hand and for sale at bottom figures at Ramsey & Bland's. The May Convention of the Dem ocratic party of Edgefield county meets at this place on Monday, the 7th day of the month. Beautiful line of Straw Matting, Chinese or Japunse, at 35c per yard at Ramsey & Biand's. Ladies are invited to call and examine. Since the restoration of the bar room dynasty we have heard that there are to be four bar-rooms opened at this place. Big stock Saddles, all prices, just received at Ramsey & Bland's. Will almost make your pant6 laugh to ride on one of them. 1 Irby has been on another one. How is it that when Irby gets on a tear it is put in all the papers, 1 but when Hampton gets ou 'em it's "H-u-s-h.l"? The Old Hickory Wagons, in compaiable forever, still take the lead everywhere. Ramsey ct Bland can supply ynu and send you home happy. The large number of communi cations this week crowd out much local and editorial matter, and still several communications will hav9 1 to be deferred uutil next week. The Union meeting of the third division of the Edgefield Baptist Association will be held at Repub lican instead of at the Edgefield village Baptist Church. Mr. P. R. Wates. of Mcdoc, formerly a resident of our town, paid us a short visit last week. " Friends were glad to see him and hope he will coma back for good Some day.' President A. J. Norris, Capt. . G. B. Lake, and other citizens of our town and county left on Mon day morning of this week to attend the graud reunion of Confederate j veterans at Birmingham, Ala., , which takes place this week. Although the dispensary law has 1 been declared unconstitutional we 1 have the supreme satisfaction of ] knowing that Dan Branson, an Edgefield man, seized th? blind tiger liquor that was rolling 1 on its destructive course into the ] city of Columbia. With this we'll have to be content until Ben Tillman lakes another turn ou 'em. And this he we will do ina very short time. Rev. M. M. Brabham on Sunday afternoon last, preached a sermon ; to the children, which surpassed any sermon we have heretofore heard from him. The discourse was interesting, and the attention of the congregation was held throughout, and was instructive no less to the older people present than to the children. We hope these young people's services will contiuue to be held. The day after the dispensary decision was rendered two hun dred bar-rooms were opened in the city of Charleslou, and Chicco, the Italian of blind tiger notoriety, took a barrel of whiskey wrapped in the United States flag through the streets on a wagon, hallooing and shouting -and followed by a motly crowd of gamins and bummers. Who did it? Who turned th? demons loose? The Supreme Court of the State of South Caro lina. A young man in our town ?vants a wife and requests us to publish the following, which is a correct description of him: He is 5 feet 10 inches high, weighs 145 pounds, has fair complexion, dark hair, gray eyes, a well nhaped mouth, a small mustache. Has good em ployment aud get s good wage i. He wants a wife with dark hair, fair complexion, good looking, knows how to sew on buttons, aud writes a good hand. Address "TAP," in care of the Edgefield ADVERTISER. On the outside of the ADVER TISER we publish the programme of the Interdenominational Sun day-School Convention of Edge field County to be held at Trinity Lutheran Church on the 3rd and 4th of May prox. The following addition has been made in this programme since the type was set up, to wit : "On the last day's ses sion there will bea lecture by John W. Wallace, of Augusta, Ga., en titled "Practical demonstration of Suuday-school work." Mr. Wallace has a national reputation as a worker in this field and those who are so fortunate as to hear him may expect a rare intellectual and spiritual treat, CORRESPONDENCE [For the ADVERTISER Let Every Sunday-Scbool Send Delegates. MR. EDITOR: Seeing nothing from any one of the committee of our Interdenominational Sunday School Convention to convene at Trinity Lutheran Church, on May 3rd and4th, I take this opportunity to say in behalf of all Sunday school workers that we hope and pray all Sunday-schools will elect delegates to attend, (one delegate for every fifty pupils). Let us come together, brethren, and spend two days in advancing this glorious work.* A LOVER OF SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. [For the ADVERTISER A "True Democrat" Blows the Bugle. MR. EDITOR: In as.much as the Mt. Willing Democratic Club is called to meet on Saturday even iug, the 28th inst., I hope all Dem ocrats will turu out, (and I know they will), and let us organize and get ourselves m working order. I take occasion here to say that, we do not propose to be lead by Gen. Wadb Hampton or general anybody else. In my honest opinion there are plenty of horny-handed, brawny-cheeked farmers who can lead Hampton in politics success fully, and who are determined to follow such leaders no longer. There are farmers to-day who know more about political economy in an hour than Hampton ever has orevsr will know; hence we will give a dissenting opinion by an overwhelming majority to his new club business. I presume the Reformers are alive all over the county, God grant it ! TRUE DEMOCRAT. Mt. Willing, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. Edgefield Democratic Club.

A Description of the Great Be] meade Farm-A $250,000 Hon auda $10,000 Colt-Some R flections on Rich Folks and Po< Folks and the Ways of tl World Generally. NASHVILLE, TENN., April 15. MR. EDITOR: On last Saturda in company with three of the othc college boys I set out about 10 1 M., for the Bellmeade Farm, whic is about six miles west of thi place. I had Leen told about thi farm by many of th? boys her< They spoke of it with much eulogy but I had never formed any COE ception as to its worth until I B-&\ it. On our way we passed by th Vanderbilt University, which i about two miles from the city o Nashville. Of course we spent little while looking over the ground of this famous institution. Afte a satisfactory look at the Vander bilt we proceeded on our way. We arrived ai the farm in du< time where we expected to see vas fields of cottou and corn, but ti our great surprise, we did not se? much land in cultivation. We saw large pastures on which stood hen and there an occasional oak o: gum. The grass of decades grev vigorously wherever we chanced tc look. Large herds of cattle farec sumptuously every minute of th? lay. The milch cows, eighty-sh in number, were being driven ic For the purpose of being milked, We calculated on one hundred rallons from the eighty-six cows! vhich at 20 cents'per gallon would mug $20 per milking. Next we visited the deer pasture vhere we saw something over a ?undred head of deer. We spent lometime with the deer, for they lome what excited our curiosity. Saving satisfied our curiousity ooking at the deer, we decided on ,oing to Gen. Jackson's home and iskhnj permission to look at some >f II?B fine horses. Just here it is ?ecessary for me to stop and ex ilaiu. Gen. Jackson owns this "arni at present. It is called the 3ellmeade farm because it belong ed to a man of that?ianie before Tackson bought it. A?ain, I would lot have auy one think this is President Gen. Jackson, for every ihonld kno^ that President Jack ion is dead. I know not how came his gentleman to get the title of .reneral. But as we walked through the 'ard we met Gol. Eastman, of New fork, and Gen. Jackson going out 0 the stables to see his (the Gen eral's) fine stallions. The first lorse we saw was named Luke ilackburn. This horse cost the General twenty thousand dollars. This somewhat startled me as I ?ad always been used to about a mildred and fifty dollar "cut." The next horse we looked at was he famous racer "Iriquois." He s a native of this country, but was :amed to England where he gained lis world-wide reputation in the hree greatraces of Derby, Ledgers,, md Prince of Wales.. He won in hese laces, being the only horse hat ever won in all three. This ?orso cost thc General thirty-four housand dollars. I got very much interested in his horse and made bold'to ask he General what he was worth, but he General refused to tell me, say ng that he could not tell as the ax assessor might hear of it. Do he wealthy pay their share of the ;axe8? I managed, however, to ask ?he negro, whose special business 1 was to take care of this horse, vhat the General priced the horse it, and he said, "Two hundred and ifty thousand dollars." The Gen eral has some of this horse's colts, me year old, which he expects to ?ell next month in New York at :en thousand dollars each. After all this we started back to :he city with somt ideaof an ideal faim. When about half way back my friend, a young man from Ala bama, and I slopped ata sulphur spring while tho other two boys kept on their way. As it was a uico, cool place we sat down near the spring and bogan to talk of the world and its ways. I am no com munist, but aB I sit there I could not help but meditate over the condition of our country. Some, I thought, know not how to manage their immense wealth, while others must suffer for the necessaries of life. In a word, it seemed as if I could see the future destiny of this our country as she grew from bad to worse until the maB6es could no longer speak of her with pride as their free and happy home. I could picture in ray mind the rich as they grew richer and the poor as they grew poorer and poorer, losing liberty after liberty, until they were reduced to a state of serfdom. How little do tho wealthy classes ever think of the hard lines the poor have to live. While contemplating these things, my friend broke thc silenco by saying: "Well, Dunovant, do you suppose we will ever do any thing in tho world towards better ing its condition?" I told him that was a very broad question, ^especially on an occasion when I thought I felt like Washington Irving did when he first set foot on the soil of England. Rising from our seats and taking, another drink ?of the pure sulphur water we returned to the city to find our boarding lady suffering from a high temperature, caused by our late return, but now she is all right again, and we must ex claim with all the world: "God bless the good ladies !"'their pa tience will not last always, but when you beg for mercy, it is always cheerfully given. VAN STAB. [For the ADVERTISER. Mine Creek Dots. MR. EDITOR : The favorableness of the weigher now is causing the farmers to go at their work with a rush. Cotton is being planted right along now in some parts. Some say it won't do for there will be another severe cold yet. This prediction may be true, but we hope not for we have had our "miff " of the cold. Some have had io plant their corn over. We notice some fruit that was left-such as plums and currants. How they escaped we promised not to tell. As for peaches, we presume you know why there is none of them. Mr. M. A. Rodgers had an ob struction thrown between him and his plow the other day-a mule 30lt. Mr. C. C. Lewis's school at Pine Grove closed last Friday. We received a letter from "Van Star" not long since, who is now in the Nashville Normal College. We were glad to hear that he was meeting with extraordinary suc cess, and the general proceedings )f the times there were "middling." 'Van" is a youngman of high tone md bright intellect, and will s )me lay shed great lustre upon his j ?ountry. j Mr. C. L. Temples has become j lisgueted at the rapidity of things md borrowed him an JX and gone j o planting cotton. j If you feel likening a-fishing upt go up on "the swamp," and lhere you will find Mr. Charlie 3utler and two or three more "just ibout like the same," who will go { vitii you down on Saluda where the j )ig tish stay. Don't go though j vithout it is cold enough to freeze rpm bait stiff ; they might not go j vith you. Mr. L. W. Rodgers has had a j levere attack of fever and pneu- j nonia combined. He is a little . letter but improves very slowly. Well, Mr. Editor, how ar? things ;oing to run this time? We think 'Bill" and "Jim" could give us 'onie advice just here. We think ] n the face of these perilous times 1 t is nearing the point where it be- ' jooves all men to begin to look out < ror No. 1. So let us every one be i ;rue to our God and our country ; 1 jo to work with unprejudiced : ninds and made a good and honest iving for ourselves. Let us not retrospect but look iorward and try to promote the ?ountry's welfare-our own. More* when the time rolls round. JOHN BLAKE. Mine Creek, S. C. BABES S THE WOODS. Two Little Girls Were Found With Their Skulls Crushed. WASHINGTON, D.C., April23.-A ?pecial from Birmingham, Ala, says: George Sinclair's two child ren, girls, aged two and six years iisappeared from their home near Kutkege yesterday. A search all night revealed this [norning their dead bedies in the ?voods, their skulls having been crushed with a bloody club which lay beside them.' Near by in a pond was found the body of Howard Jackson, a hal-witted old mau. Whether Jackson murdered the children while craz}' and then committed suicide, or all three were murdered, is not yet known. They Want Names.

P ATEN T S. NOTICE TO INVENTORS. 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 of mankind in the factory and work shop, the household, on the farm, and in official 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 affect the progress of the American inventor, wi o being on the alert' and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepencies. Too great care cannot be exercised in choos nga 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 I do so at imminent risk, as the breadth ! and strength of the patent is never I considered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain tin fee then due.'Tm PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager, OIS F street, N.
