Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1S94. LOCAL! BREVITIES. Judge Gary is holding court in Abbeville this week. Tue blind tigers in our town do not lay in wait, but roam the streets and hunt you down. To earn $25,000,090 it is only necessary to sell thc sea at one cent f.)r every 10,090 galions. No fewer than 1,700 ancient manuscript copies of the News Testament in whole or part exist. The barking of a dog on earth can be distinctly heard by bal loonists at an elevation of four miles. Every water, save that of springs contains animal life; but it is not necessarily injurious to health on that accout. Charleston, Columbia, and Cam den have passed ordinances to li cense the sale ol' wine, cider, and malt liquors. Evangelist W. P. B. Kinard, of Edgefield is in Newberry this week preaching. Mr. Charles D. Tillman does the sieging.. The commencement exercises of the Parksville High Schcol will take place on the 24th and 25th inst. Programme next week. Cotton grew amazingly on last Sunday, the first hot day since March. It seems to know that it is high time to be humping itself. ? 'What dis country wants/' said Uncle Randall, "is some sort of a contraption whar a man kin drap a nickel in a slot crack and git re ligion." We are in receipt of an invita tion from Mr. J. M. Rushton to attend the commencement exer cises of Woft'ord College, June 10-12. There is one thing sure : If L. J. Williams does not ru.i for the House cf Representatives the peo ple are going to run him nolens volens. Catherine de "Medici, Queen of Fraucft, wore the longest train on record, lt was her bridal robe. The train was borne by 20 pages, and was 48 yards long. Every blind tiger has a number of little tigers to ?0 out in the streets in the highways and by ways to cajole and eutice small game into the den for the old one. In one of the towns of an upper county in this State a body of citi zens waited on a blind tiger and juformed him quiet!}' but firmly that it was their wish that he hunt another lair. He did so. The farmers certainly could not complain of last Sunday as being too cool for ihe cotton, and by the way, all that dead cotton basc?me to life aod though small it looks as if it intends to hold the fort. London Quiver is responsible for this unlikely story: "Peo.ole of the free-thinking class often dis pute the story of Jonah and the whale, not so much on account of its improbability, as because it is in the Bible. They declare that the whale never lived that could swallow a man, but such persons should remember that the word, whale" as used in holy writ re ferred to an}' large species of fish. Not long since a shark and a sailor in the Mediterranean sea re enacted the part of Jonah and the whale to perfection. The mau fell overboard and instantly disap peared in the mouth of a monster shark. The captain fired a gun at the beast from the deck and as the shot plowed through its back, it cast the man out again and he was rescued perfectly unhurt, but so badi}- frightened that he was sick for several days. The Damage Done. Considerable difference of opin ion exists as to the damage clone by the late cold snap. We hear of farmers who are ready to give up their cotton, plow it all up and plant corn ; and of some negro tenants who have actually aban donad their cotton. Others, how ever, and the more practical, main tain that the damage to cotton is slight, that it has only received a set back from fifteen to twenty days. Railroad Taxes Paid. Last week Capt. Anderson, audi tor, or something else, of the Rich mond and Danville Railroad, came Edgefield and paid to Treasurer W. L. Stevens $7,777.77 and seven mills. This was in full of the taxes of this road, penalties, costs, and all for the last two years, over which and about which they had been kicking and fighting in the courts. Hereafter we suppose the railroads will understand that they have to march up to the captain's oflice and pay their taxes just like white folks and niggers. Raising Wild Turkeys. The Aiken Journal and Review says: A few weeks ago a number of gentlemen from the George settlement went down to Savannah River to enjoy a fish. While going through the swamp below Silver Bluff they routed a wild turkey hen that was setting on 14 eggs. The eggs were appropriated by Mr. J. P. George, they were carefully handled and kept warm, and when he got then home set them under a hen and nine of the eggs hatched. Th? young turkeys are wild, but Mrs. George is very pround of them and is closely watching and car ing for then.. As is thecase with wfild turkeys, all of them look alike. Children's Day. Children'? Day will be c?l?brai at Barr's Chapel next Sunday, most delightful occasion is anti pated by the little ones, and 1 older ones as well. Treat *JHm Coolly. Davis Tinimons says that if y want to treat a young lady coo and at the same time make Y feel warmly toward you give i ice cream-at the Timraons : cream saloon. Trenton High School. The closing exercises of t Trenton High School Prof. M. ^ Peurifoy, will take place on Thu: day night, June 14th. The pi gramme is an excellent one, ai the attendance will be large. ( the next day the school will ha a-big picnic. Tillman m New York. Governor Tillman is in N( York to-day, Tuesday, making speech before the Temperan Congress, composed of many the ablest minds on this contine! Tillman is possessed of an a dacify that bewilders and an ener{ that disorganizes his enemies. Your Gin Ribs. Gin owners will do well to ref Mr. P. J. Boatwright's advertis ment in this issue. If YOU net new gin ribs write to him at Da lington, S. C., and he will send n agent to see you. The patent gi rib that this gentleman sells is or of the most wonderful things < this wonderful age. Planting Peas. The Unknown pia is the favoril in Edgefield county, and every bod who has not. already planted th: legume is now preparing to plat him in large quantities. The origi of this faruou > pea is like its nairn unknown. If som3good Samarita would bring a hundred bushels t this market he would get a goo price and make some pea-hungr souls happy. Picnic, Miss Morgan's School. Miss Agnes Morgan's school wi. have a picnic next Saturday a Dow ty's spring, but there is not th least doubt that there will be a: abundance of good things to eal Of course the candidates will h there to tell the people what's th matter with Hannah, and alsoho^ Peter's wife's mother is getting oi: but they won't tell you any lies oh.no! they never tell lies. House Burned. The hous? in old Pottersville one mile north of Edgefield, owne< by the Dr. M. W. Abney estate, wa: burned to the ground on Monda] night of this week at about li o'clock. Mr. James Walker, livin< in the house at the time, lost every thing he had except one bed anc bed clothing and a sewing ma chine. There was no insurance or the propert}'. It is sunposed to have been the act of an incendiary, as there had been no fire built since 12 o'clock of that same. Advertised Letters, List, of letters remaining in the Postoffice at Edgefield C.

The blackberry is a plebeian berry not lo be named, some say, in the same breath with the pluttercratic raspberry and strawberry, yet this same black berry is the best all around berry in these United States. With cream and sugar they are delicious, in pies they are equally nice, and jam, wine, vinegar, cordial, etc., made of this abundant fruit are both wholesome and tempting to the palate. Let some late spring poet write an ode to ihe blackberry. We call upon Brother Pettv ot the Spartanburg Spartan. Must bc Licensed.

According to a recent article in the Youth's Companion, a group of five small keys lying off tho ex treme southern point of Florida is now the principal pineapple pro ducing district of the world. Less than seven hundred acres altogeth er are here devoted to the cultiva ting of this fruit, but from this area 4,500,000 pine-apples have been shipped to New York in a sin gle year. Tho plant is piopagaled from suckers or slips, aud 10,000 may be planted to the acre, two thirds of which will boar fruit, so that if a dollar a dozen could bc realized, the crop would be a lu crative one. The most common variety is the Scarlet or Spanish, the one ordinarily seen in the North, on account of its good ship ping qualities. Next in abund ance is the Sugarloaf, a pwecter fruit, but more delicate, and there fore more difficult to handle. E gyp tain Queen, a large juicy fruit, is harder still to transport, and best of all is the Puerto Rico, a fruit weighing ten pounds, but so mellow that it is rarely seen more than two hundred miles from the place wh^re it is growing. A field of pineapples, raised lrom slips, "will bear for five years, though after the second year the yield steadily decreases. The field planted with suckers ouly yields for two years. After this the land seems exhausted, and its strength miiRt be renewed with fertilizers, and by growing other crops, while plantations of pineapples are made in another field. Tho fruit which is allowed to ripen in the field is altogether superior in melting quality, rich flavor and whole someness to the hard, sour and in digestible specimens which must be picked while they are solid and green, so that they can endure a journey to Northern cities. CORRESPONDENCE] [For the ADVKKTISER. Items from Etheredge. MR. EDITOR: The cool weatht remains with us, and it seems th? all nature is now chilled and o the go back schedule. Two week ago thc corn, cotton, gardens, an all drops throughout this portin of the country were looking fini but they have made no progr?s since the cold snap set in. We trus however, that the result will notb serious. Tho farmers are all pretty we] up with the hoeing and plowing still thej' have work to keep ther on the go, as the small grain i now ready to be harvested, whici crop is far from meeting the expec tatious of thc people. There are however, a few fields of very gooi wheat, some good oats, but the ma jority of the people will not get fc feed oats long. Politics are very quiet in thi portion of the county just now, w suppose the people are all waitini for the campaign to open. Thei it is expected they will open toe though now they are so very silen that you would not know whicl side they were on, but we presum? that, if they are not on one sid? they are on the other. Our pas history here shows that we an always m it" when "candidatinj time" comes along; but we woulc like very much to see the law-abid ing, peace-loving people of thii glorious, grand old ''Palmetto Stat?" be more moderate in regare to political affairs ; her politics art beginning to be so corrupt that wt don't know "where we are at." Bul we do know some of its bad effects It causes father and son to disagree il arrays brother against brother it puts down society in a commu nity and causes ill feelings be tween man and fellowman, and worst of all it hurts the cause of religion. Let the good people of this fair section, if not all ovei the State, awake out of that sleep in which they have so long slum bered, and lot no political differ ences be known lo them. SWARTZ. Etheredge, S. C. [For the ADVKRT?SEK. A Letter With Powerful Little Nows in It, But a Powerful Strone Insistence that L. J. Williams 3Iakc thc Race for the Legislature. MR. EDITOR: The cold snap in june! crops in this section ve' much. From the present outlook cotton will be short at least one third. Frost seems to have bitten everything but tbd grass, and with jack-frost and a jack-ass Congress there is no telling what is going to become of tho farmer. Politics, as you know, at this club is hot, and growing hotter. Alliancemen anet Reformers in this section saw with regret a card in your last issue from Mr. Wil liams, declining to enter the race for thc Legislature. Hois strong both in mind and influence, and has always boon loyal to our cause, and we feel that ho should look upon it as a patriotic eluty to serve us. Give us such men as Mr. Wil liams and Luther Reese in the Legislature, and the rights of the farmer will never be neglected. We call upon both of them to lead us. We are all glad to sec how popular J. Wm. Thurmond, Esq., is growing. He was Lorn near here and reared a poor boy, and all the success ho has won his own merit deserved. His old friends will be glad of an opportunity to vote for him for the Legislature. REFORMER. Poverty Hill? S. C. LFor Ute ADVERTISER. Blind Tigers Rampant Every where. MR. EDITOR: Blind tigers are springing up all over tho county, and tho North Carolina distilleries are flooding the county with their circulars giving the people their prices for corn whiskey, and also saying they now can ship them any quantities on the railroads, as there is no law to prohibit them from so doing. Tho result is the country is being stocked with whiskey. So much for the prohi bition law! Tho prohibitionists are doing nothing in the country that I know of to prosecute those cases. They have been making strong appeals to the Legislature for a prohibition law and now they have such a law, and what are they doing to enforce it? Nothing that I can see. Generally speaking, what is everybody's business is no nobody's, and nobody cares to take thc trouble of prosecutions upon himself, and the trouble and ex pense of going perhaps backward and forward several tunes attend in;, court ns prosecutors and wit nesses. Now that prohibitionists have the law they have boen pray ing, for lo these many years, they ought to be up and doing and work with all their might and strength to enforce it. Now is their time to sec what progress they can make to kill out the blin tigers that are iu out of the wa^ places all over the country. I ar fearful they w ill not clo much at il as it is not as easy to do as it is t talk and write about it. There i no restriction now to keep railroad from bringing liquor into th State, aud there will be grea quantities of it brought in.* When the dispensary was pro uounced unconstitutional it was i difficult matter to 6hip liquor iut< the State. The railroads were s< closely watched by the constable that they had very little chance t< deliver liquor to parties whom i was for. Will the prohibitionist! watch blind tigers as diligently ai the constabulary did railroad) bringing in liquor? I fear not. LOOKER ON. [For the ADVERTISER. Parksville Alliancemau Want! Mr. L. J. Williams to Re main in thc Field. MR. EDITOR : The friends of Mr L. J. Williams intend to run hirr for the Legislature whether hi wants to or not. He is two much of a patriot to refuse io serve il elected. We know he has repeat edly stated that he wauted'no office but, Mr. Editor, that is the reason we want him to run. I believe in that old democratic doctrine that, "the office should seek the man,' and aa we follow such a maxim wc will always have good men in office. The friends of Mr. Williame therefore request, Mr. Editor, that you place his name again among the Legislature candidates. ALLIANCE MAN. Parksville, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. A Clouds Creek Blinker Names the Five. MR. EDITOR: As the political campaign is about on us, we should begin to cast about for good men to represent us in the State Legis lature. As a rule I am opposed to slates unless the people can have a say in it. I think all Reformers should have a chance to say whom they prefer, and hence don't you think it would be best to choose our ticket for the Legislature when we select our candidate for Governor. Then there would be no kicking, could be none, by disappointed candidates. Edgefield county should be represented by men com petent to lead, by men competent to sustain her reputation, and with this end in view, I beg permission to suggest the following ticket: .Col. R.B. Watson, . ^-.?fes L. Caughman, Luther Reese, L. J. Williams, J. Wm. Thurmond, Esq. If these men will run, Edgefield will have as strong a delegation in Columbia as was ever sent there. BLINKER.
