Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1894. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. Small grain is needing rain verv _. much. Ninety-Six has a new military company, accepted and ready for service. See the advertisement of the Grand Excursion elsewhere in this paper. Senator Butler addressed large audiences in Barnwell county last week. He is in Edgefield at this writing. McCormick organized a milita ry companv on Saturday with 54 men, Col. J. N.- Holloway being chosen captain. Since the decision that didn't decide would it be proper to speak of the town of Edgefield as a dry town-in a horn. See the programme for Memorial Day, May 10th. published in an other column. Let it b? made a J day for memory and tears. Gray Township has organized a military company to be known as j the "Briar Patch Grays." There are seventy names enrolled. It very often happens that the black sheep of thefamly is the one cailed upon to furnish wool to keep the rest of the family warm. Flour continues to advance in price. Those who have laid in several mouths' supply h?ve no doubt made a good investment. The word hairbreadth, now used for an infinitesimal space, was once a regular measure. It was the width of sixteen hairs laid side by side. J By order of Capt. Anderson the members of the Edgefield Rifles will assemble at their armory at 3:00 P. M. sharp, on Thursday, May 10th. ; Rev. E. A. Wilkes, of Parksville, j has been conducting a meesiug at I that place during the past week at I whic. much interest was I manifested. Gidoon Lee, of New York, who contested the Clemson will for his daughter dropped dead from heart failure in San Antonio, Texas, last Sunday evening. Senator Butler has given notice of an amendment to the bill ap propriating $155.000 to purchase ..a cite at Charleston and erect a depot for the light house service. A meeting will be held at Moun tain Creek Church on Saturday, Wfak^th day of May, at 2 P. M. to Pr?fer the matter of remodelling ^$?% old, or building a new church. A new party, to be called the "Poor Men's Party,*' is being organized at Shelbyville, 111. It is prcsponed to elect no man to a local office who has possessions valued at more than $1,500. In the last issue of this paper the name of Capt. ,Tas. H. Tillman was published as one of the com mitteemen of the Edgefield Demo cratic Club. This was a mistake as Capt. Tillman declined to serve on any committee whatever. Dr. F. G. Asbell, of Ridge Spring, a brother of E. L. Asbell, late of ?his town, stood the examination in Columbia last week and is now authorized to practice medicine in this State. We are requested to call the at tention of the county commission ers to the public road between Re hoboth Baptist Church and Mc Cormick. It ?B said to be in a fear ful condition. ' Mr. Joseph P. Ouzts, son of Sheriff Ouz;s, has been appointed deputy collector for this district consisting of Edgefield, Newberry, Union, and some other counties. The perquisites and salary are about $1,800 per annum. When it is decided what the decision was in regard to the Dis pensary law, and the people find out what to do about it, something will probably be doue. In the mean time we think that the best thing to do is just to keep right on thinking.-Ex. The receivers of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, after a con sultation with Gov. Tillman, have aent the rooney to all the county ^.treasurers through which the road runs to pay all the back taxes which have been in dispute. Mr. J. Davis Timmons has open ed a soda fountain in the store next door to Druggist Lynch, where he will be pleased to see and serre his friends and the public generally. .A little later he will have ice cream and milk shakes, and all the ap purtenances and belongings of such delicious beverages. From all accounts the campaign in this county this year, Edgefield's two most redoubtable champions being in the field against each other, will be most exciting. Our advice is, keep cool, do your own thinking, no drinking, and vote as you please and as your conscience .and judgment dictate. S At the annual meeting of the South Carolina Medical Associa tion, which met at Rock Hill on April 25st ult., Dr. T. J. McKie, of Edgefield county, was elected presi dent as also a delegate to the American Medical Association. Dr. Frauk Butler was also elected a<Jelegate to this last named asso ciation. The Edgefield Hussars will hole their annual election at the Pavil ion on Saturday, May 5th. All that you can do with liquo: now is to drink it, and there an better things to do. Genial and handsome Dr. R. J Talbert, of McCormick, was in oui town last week on business. It is said that Collector Townei is busy issuing internal revenue license for the fale of whiskey This looks as if we will have,liquoi in abundance instead of prohibi tion. A cerreppoudent to the Charlotte (N. C.) Democrat Bays that this h "locust year," and that they will be up between the 15th of April and the 1st of May. They come up to spawn aud will subsist on ail aud dew aud will remain about forty-two days. They split the limbs of trees and deposit theil eggs, which hatch in twenty-one days. They then return to the earth and stay until 1907. Locusts and free liquor all in the same year is too much for mortals tc stand. The Anderson Intelligence says : "Rev. R. W. Seymour, pastor of the Walhalla Baptist Church, died suddenly in that town last Friday from heart failure. He was on the 6treet at 7 o'clock, and after get ting his mail walked home. The attack came on just as h? was en tering his house, and in fifteen minutes he breathed his last. He was a faithful pastor and an able preacher, and his death is deeply regretted by his friends." This gentleman resided in our county fora number of years and married a daughter of the late Dr. E. J. Andrews, who still survives. Dr. Timmerman Declines. Hon. W.H. Timmerman declines to have his name used as a guber natorial aspirant. See his card in another column. Dr. Timmerman has been and is one of the most steadfast Reformers in the State and his declination to enter the lists for the position named will be regretted by many who admire his conservative yet manly course on all political and economic ques tions that have arisen within the past ten years, indeed since his entrance into the arena of politics. E. B. Hart & Co. This firm displays a very neat and "catchy" advertisement in an other column of this paper. Always up to the times, jam up to the front, in the matter of buying the latest and best of everything in their line, and in the largest markets of the country, they are equally as considerate of the pockets of their customers and patrons and, while they do not profess-and never have-to sell "below cost," that old chestnut devised to catch the unwary, they do guarantee your money's worth for your money. Hail Storm. Friday af ternoon last a heavy hail storm prevailed near Gleen wood, and to within a few miles of Augusta, thought it was not con tinuous the whole distance. In the New Market section there was considerable damage done, but it was severest near the Georgia line. Besides the hail there were terrific drown-pours of rain reach ing to the much dreaded cloud bursts in several places. Our re porter says that on Col. A. P. Butler's place the water was three feet on a level in the road. The rain fall here was very heavy. Greenwood Leader. De Facto Liquor. For several days days indeed almost evT since the dehorning of the dispensary law, liquor has been coming into town over the railroad, from Augusta and other points. It has been coming in jugs, bottles, demijohns, and kegs, good, bad, and so-so-and in quan tities to please the most exacting stickler for the "inalienable right" of man to drink it and sell it. Well this de facto liquor has borne fruit. On Saturday night last George Norris, colored, gave a hot supper at his house in the suburbs of our !own. At this jamboree a colored gentleman full of de facto pulled his weapon on George and shot him in the leg. This is the first hot supper under the decision, but it will not be the last. How To Rill Liquor. The New York Advertiser says: "After a number of experiments it ?6 sa^'d, Colonel Julian K. Lark has demonstratod beyond a doubt that parsley, if eaten before or immediately after drinking wine, will kill or completely neutralize the effects, making intoxication an impossibility. He discovered this antidote in a peculiar way. In his backyard in Brooklyn he has grapevines that flourish and bear fruit. Several years ago he planted parsley in the back yard and dis covered that grapevines could not live with parsley growing near by. As soon as he removed the parsley the vines legained life. Then he ate parsley and drank wine and discovered that it killed the effects of the vinous product," An elegant line of furniture al ways on hand and for sale at bottom figures at Ramsey & Bland's. Measurements taken in Cin cinnati of the body of the pugilist Corbett, show him to approach perfection in physical proportions. He is 6 feet and fof au inch in height, and his trunk measure ment is 3 feet 2$ inches. The reach of his arms may be judged by the fact that when outstretched they measure from finger tip to finger tip 6 feet 2 inches.

[For the ADVERTISER. News from Upper Choty. MR. EDIT OR : After a hard week's plowing we concluded to take time this Saturday evening to give you a few dotB from Upper Choty. Wo are all as busy as bees plant ing 6 cents eotton seed, which seems io claim all the farmers at tention, for as you travel along the road and look on the left you see cotton, on the right you see cotton, before and behind cotton. The farmers rejoice now in plant ing cotton and will Bhed tears of grief over unpaid debts in the fall, but as the good book says, as we sow we may expect to reap. Every body says they are planting more corn than they have heretofore. If they are it must be off from the road. Oats is looking well, except the very forward oats. We will make a good crop in this section, and if they don't get in feeding order j Boon mules will get thin, as some j of us will have to buy more corn soon. Corn that is up is looking j well. Gardens are very backward, and cut-worms ar? plentiful. Fruit, except a very few apples, is ali killed. Blackberries are safe, and we will have to build barb wire 1 fences around our briars to make I everybody stay in their own i patches. ( Mr. J. W. R. Delaughter is the ? biggest feeling man in this section. * He almost jars the earth as he 1 walks. It is another fine boy. - * Brother Wilkes was with us on ( the second Sunday at Barr's Chapel ? and preached us a sermon that S held his hearers spell bound for ? half an hour. Brother Wilkes 1 always gets the strict attention of < his congregation. His earnest and 1 faithful work has gained for him s the highest esteem of all. Tho Sunday-school is greatly improving. Mr. R. L. Boddie is superintendent, Mrs. AgneB Mor jan is Bible class teacher, and Miss Alice Johnson teaches the little children. With such teachers the j ichool will prosper. ^ Mr. Editor, in this fast age there i are some things that puzzle our brain, and still we can't solve it. < How is it that some people can re- . joice over the decision of the court DD the dispensary law, and claim to be Christian people; how they san say so much about beautiful ( women and innocent little babies j and children, and then fight sd ^ hard the best law for the women 1 and children thut ever was made i and uphold the bar-rooms, the y only hell on earth for the women and children, and then claim to j be leaders in the church aud in- < structors of the people. The whis- < key riug is a mighty ring; and is j able to pay much money to keep the great curse going, and still ' drag women and children down to poverty. The Chronicle, like your scribe, has no children to be led to destruction by the bar-rooms, but W9 love the commandment "Love thy neighbor as thy'self." ENCORE. Franklin, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. Something About the Crops and a Number of Practical Re marks About Other Things. THE OAT AND WHEAT CROP. I am sorry I have to say that the oat and wheat crop is materially injured by cold and dry weather. I don't expect now much more than , a half yield of oither, which will | be hard luck on the farmers, many | of whom are now buying corn. , They were expecting great relief from the grain crop. Well the truth | of the business is, they ought to raise more corn, a little more than enough to do them and plenty of bacon too, and less cotton.T hey 1 would then realize better prices for cotton, and would get along much better all along the line, be more cheerful and happ}\ I know it is mighty poor business for men to be going to the depots with their wagons and old poor mules after a little corn, a little bacon, and a sack or so of flour, and keep on in that way until their crop comes in, and worst of all, it is that way every year. It would not be so bad if it only occurred when we had bad crop years, but it seems every year is a bad c?op year with some people and always will be unless they work regularly and manage their business better in every way. I found out thirty years ago that the more I worked and run my business upon business principles, and reasonably economized the better I succeeded, and every man that will practice the same will find out that it is true, but the fjreat trouble with a great many men is they do not love that kind of practice. THE DARLINGTON RIOT. A few days after the Darlington riot some gentlemen were discuss ing the action of Gov. Tillman in calling out the troops to quell the same, and they commended him in every act, and said he did per fectly ricrbt, and that he could not do otherwise under the circum stances. They censured and disap proved of the way those picnic band-box fellows did by refusing to go to Darlington. The State ion't have any use for men who iisobey orders, and Gov. Tillman 3id right in discharging them in lisgrace and letting them know he had no use for them. It will be in easy matter for the Governor to irganize companies out in the ?ountry and get men who will stand up to the rack fodder or no :odde r. THE DISPENSARY LAW. Good citizens obey the laws of :he land whether the laws suit ;hem or not, and that is what the people ought to have do in regard ;o the Dispensary law, for it was he best liquor law wo have had on :he statute books since the Revolu :ionary war. It would have been i great blessing to the young and .ising generation. The temptations vould not have been so great and ;he chances to get liquor would not lave been so good. But a great nany liquor dealers don't care low many souls are damned if they :an make money out of it. THE DREADED BARROOMS. Whiskey,; dreadful whiskey has i terrible hold on a great many >eople in this State, and especially n Columbia and Charleston. It loes seem that there ought to be jood people enough in these cities ;o put whiskey down. If they vould rise up and exert their in luence, but no, they seem to be lumb and deaf and take no int?r ?t in the matter at all. Some men lay cities and towns can't prosper md flourish without whiskey, well f they cannot let them die, and mry them deep, so deep that their emains will never see daylight (gain. BUTLER AND TILLMAN. A good many I have heard ex cess themselves do not approve of Jen. Butler's action in leaving hiB )Ost of duty in Washington and '. ioming here about the time of the , darlington riot to criticise Gov. rillman. It is thought by some '. hat his mission was mostly to ;ain votes for re election to the U. . 5. Senate. But instead of gaining , hem he may have lost some. It nay turn out like Gen. Hampton's < ipeech in 1890. When he left his )Ost of duty in Washington and :ame here to solidify the people he ost his re-election, and it may >rove the same way with Gen. But er Gov. Tillman could have nanaged the affairs of the State rery well without him. When men ire elected to office they ought to stay at their posts of duty attend ng* to business. It is getting to be lisgustiug to see that a good part if the time there are not members ?nough in their seats in Congress to make a quorum so that they can ;o on with business. LOOKER ON.

It was moved that the chair ap point a committee of three to re vise the roll; another motion that the roll be called was decided by a vote of the club, 68 for the roll call and 54 against. During the roll call the question arose, whether, the names of two parties, now out of the township, had the right to remain on the roll. When decided that their names be erased, and that they could be reinstated if the parties wished, the one opposing the erace ment said: "All who wish to form an independent Democratic club follow me." Thereupon the club split in twain. The roll call com pleted, J. P. DeLaughter, Jr., de clined to act longer as secretary. H. L. Bunch was appointed in his stead.
