Edenfield Advertiser HOS. J. ADAMS,.EDIT/OK WEDNESDAY, JULY 4,1894. About fifty companies have con sented to go to the military en campment at Spartanburg next month. Judge Gary will take his seat as Asiociate Justice of the supreme Court of South Carolina on the 29th of July-_ Five persons died from heat in New Orleans on last Sunday. The mercury registered 99? in the shade and 115? in the sun. i-? The development of Port Royal has been wonderful. In 1893 the experts in ten monthB were valued at $773,000 ; for the same in 1894 they are $3,170,000. There is a regular line of pas senger and freight steamers from this point to Liverpool. The interest in campaign meet ' ings is sadly on the wane compar ed with two and four years ago. The attendance is said to be not more than half it was then. What this means we do not know, but it ia significant of something pos sibly that the vote in the primary election will be short, curtailed. The great government drydock at Port Royal will be completed by September 1, the work thereon having been officially certified to 'Secretary Herbert as excellent. The dock will employ several hnn dred skilled mechanic heads of families the year round, at first rate wages, thus possibly adding two or three thousand souls to the local population. Col. Ellison S. Keitt, of New berry, sailed into the campaign on last Monday, and will speak on national issues in every county in the State. Col. Keitt is the young er brother of the late distinguish ed Laurance M. Keitt and is cred ited by the Greenville News with being the most finished orator in the State. The surmise is that he is in the race for the United . States Senate, against Butler and Tillman. The convention of capitalists which met recently in New York in the interest of Southern busi ness development overcrowded the parlors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and had to adjourn toJU^w r$?? tere.. The Droceer?'li?:e> tut*8prA\ ed. A" committee" of fifteen from the South and ten from the North and West was appointed to take charge of the work of developing the vast and varied resources of these States. On this committee are several millionaires, including General Russell A. Algsr, of Mich igan. The campaign meetings of last week were, in the main, but a repe tition of the week before. We pub lish on our outside the speeches and proceedings at Bennettsville, a pretty fair sample of the lot. The only significant thing about these meettngs is that they are not so largely attended as in 1890 and 1892. The relative strength of the two factions is about the same as in these years. John Gary Evans still leads in the gubernatorial race. The danger for him now is that the other can didates for this office may combine their strength against him in the convention, and like Daniel Web ster and Henry Clay in their can- j didacy for President, his very strength may carry him down. [For the ADVERTISER. Etheredge Items-A Historic Retrospect. MR. EDITOR: Crops are begin ning to look finely since the rain, though they have been thrown back by the long drought, yet if the seasons are favorable through July and August we will have a good yield next fall. Many of the farmers are sowing peas and plant ing corn in their stubble lands. Mr. J. C. Kinard, of Augusta, Ga., has been on a visit to his son in-law for several weeks. He and his son, who has been a student at Newberry College during the last session, will return home to-day. Mr. James Hare, the well known miller of this section, is now well prepared to do your grinding. Farmers bring in your wheat while water is plentiful, and he will not keep you waiting long. As the summer days grow hotter and warm up the vegetable king dom so also do the campaign days grow hotter and warm up the "animal" kingdom.' ThuB it goes, "Prohibition, Dispensary, and Till manism," and now abideth these three, but the greatest of these is ^Tillmanism." That is the "ism" the candidates believe in. It is | euch a good thing to get in on. ? How very strange it is that people ' Will use all sorts of ways and ttieans just to get in office. We make no exaggeration in declaring office-seekers to be the worst malady among the people. All over the country men's appetites for place and patronage is so uni versal and so craving that they for get that the very best office for any man is that which he can make for himself by energy, industry, tact, and faith ; that private life offers twice as many inducements to an upright, ambitious man as any place within the people's gift ; and above all, that the man who holds office for a few years loses all taste and energy for the ordinary pur suits of life. It is marvellous to see what a greed for the loaves and fishes of office has seized upon all classes of our people. It is not always thus that office was regard ed by the people of this country. Within this century, and even within the last fifty years, a revolu tion has taken place in the public sentiment on the subject. In the an te-revolutionary tiroes office-hold ing was regarded like serving on the jury, as a burden, to be avoided rather than coveted. The private citizen who shunned notoriety, or deemed his time too precious to permit him to Berve his country, was oblige to purchase his ex emption by a fine. The General Court of Plymouth once passed au act that "whoever should refuse the office of Governor should pay ?20 sterling, un'ess he should be chosen two years suc cessively." When, afterward, the people had become richer, and with wealth had acquired leisure, they were more willing to accept office, but they never thought of nominating themselves, much less of making stump-speeches, going about to b^g for votes, or resorting to any of the other degrading arts that are now employed by the suc cessful politician. Many of the great mon who then took office, did so with reluctance-electioneering if they did so, to prevent their nomination-declining a re-elec tion. Now all is changed. The mania for office has been raging more and more fiercely during the last fifty years, till now it attacks all classes of society. SWARTS. Etheredge, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. Round About Dysons.

CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. "dishonest dollar." The News and Courier and other plutocratic sheets were bribed or subsidized to whine about its being a dishonest dollar. For his part he believed that every dollar stamped by the Government was an honest dollar. Why was it, he would like to know, that the Government's en dorsement is taken on a bond and will not be taken on a note. The bond had no better security than the greenback, y?t it is worth 120. Paper money had been stigmatiz ed as fiat money, "fiat" meaning ? "be it so." Wh?n the Government says it is a dollar it becomes one^ Everybody, he found, now ^greed that more money was wanted. Some wauled more gold, some wanted more silver and some more paper. For his part he wanted more of all three. The great and all absorbing question was how were we going to get it. The first man who ever wrote a cook book had given a receipt for cooking rabbits. It began, "First catch your rabbit." The monetary ques tion was the rabbit. The first thing to do was to catch the vote on it. Victory would never smile on their efforts until they got af ter that rabbit, and kept after it night and day. That was the im portant question. Their force must not be squandered upon too many issues. Money and more of it was the absorbing one just now. He said his Alliance friends and him self had been at loggerheads since 1891 on the sub-treasury plan. They had wanted to know if they did not get it that way, how were they going to get it. Wh-it was it that the Government should turn plenty of money out ovar the land? When it had dammed up it would migrate the country. They wanted the Government to turn loose plen ty of money and to[ destroy the national banks. When the money was supplied it should be made in terchangeable with silver aud gold and receivable for any and all pub lic dues. He was aware that this was the rankest kind of heresy. There had been much talk about the mistakes of the Alliance. They all knew that a few yearB ago the Third Party idea was growing and i thriving in this State. Ben Ter I rel was going from county to , county spreading these ideas. But . what many of them did not know . was that when he was opposing the Bub-treasury he was opposing i He was snrtemg at the growTa ot : the Third Party in that way. He i realized that the sub-treasury plan . was suggested merely as an edu ! cational idea. Then there was the i Spartauburg meeting. Terrel made hie speech, but he (Tillman) had i already had it agreed that the fight over the matter was to be made within the Democratic par ty. That sufficed. He did not care to go around fighting the sub treasury, for he did not want to fight his brethren. So it went on. In 1892 things looked very blue in this State. There was a strong sentiment here in favor of not sending any delegates to the Chi cago Convention. He (Tillman) had advocated doing so. All of this was going on here while the Third Party was rapidly gaining headway in other States. The party was established in other Southern States. There was no Third Party in this State in spite of the fact that at one time he and some of his friends had had the nerves of Third Partyism up their backs as big as his finger. South Carolina was almost the only Southern State that had stood firm. She was now pointed to as an example to follow. He did not want any division of forces. The fight should be made strictly on the question of the Government issuing plenty of paper money, sil ver money and gold money, and declaring all of it good and re ceivable for all public dues. Governor Tillman then turned to answering Senator Butler. He would, he said, "touch him up" on only a few points. He spoke at some length of the Simontou mat ter. He gave a sketch of the rail way tax cases, saying that most of them knew how he had shown up "Simonton's duplicity and sub serviency to Chamberlain." He had introduced a bill in the House, which would certainly pass that body, and if Butler would do his duty in the Senate for the J ii tie time he had to remain there it would pass the Senate too. [Cheers.] He said Governor Cham berlain had gone up to Wall street and had Judge Simonton promoted for hin devilment. [Applause.] Gen. Butler knew all of these things and he had heard him (Tillman ) speak on the whole mat ter before the committee, and there was consequently no need for him to send him a formal pro test against Judge Simonton's con firmation. And now one of the very corporations which had been aided by Simonton's decision was hauling Butler's Coxeyites around free. Turning towards Gen. Butler be Baid : "Yes, and if he will raise his hat you will see tar from the Rich mond and Danville stick on his forehead. [Applause.] Butler had been running with the million aires so long that he just couldn't "disaccornmodate" them. [Laugh ter.] He himself had never talked to but one millionaire, and he felt like a bigger man than the millionaire was. [Laughter.] Gen. Butler kept on crying for a sepa rate box for the Senatorial vote. [He would tell them why Butler wanted it. He wanted that box be cause he could not find men who were willing to come out and run for the Legislature for him. He knew and they knew that the mau who did it was sticking a knife in his throat and would politically bleed to death. He ridiculed the idea that the corporations or that Grover Cleveland even would rath er see himself than Butler in the Senate. They all knew how Cleve land had turned over tpe patron age to Butler. Cleveland would rather see the devil than himself enter the Senate. [Laughter and applause.] He then announced that he was going to take a hand primary to show Butler how he would stand in that separate box contest that he wanted. He made quite a long appeal to the Bu'1er men to vote, but they would not do so. When the question was put only two Butler hands went up. For him self a considerable number went up, how many is a mooted ques tion. Senator W. D. Evans said five hundred, Col. Watts said two hundred, Gen. Ellerbe thought about that number, and I myself think Col. Watts struck it ex actly. The meeting then adjourned, and the candidates rushed of to catch a train. J. H. M. [For the ADVERTISER.

' ANTIFERMENTINE Preserves Fruit, Cider, Milk Butter, Eggs, Tomatoes, Cat sup, Pickles, Etc. What ?tis: It is a simple, harmless preparation, free from taste, smell and color, that has the properties of stop ping; and preventing fermentation in all vegetable and animal foods. What It Does: It is especially useful for preserving fruits of all kinds with out co iking, retaining their natural fresh appearance and taste. Its Use does away with labor, and makes what has been a hot, disagree able task, a delight and a pleasure. It substitutes lor the Summer heat of the kitchen the cool shade of the lawn or pirzza. Its Results are never doubtful when used according to directions, and Plum Puddings, Peach and Berry Pies can be had in Winter as well as in Summer. Its Use is profitable and economical, for it saves one-half of the surgar, saves the jars broken by heat, saves the fruit cooked away, and saves the time and labor lost by the old methods. For Cider it is unsurpassed. It stops fermentation at any point desired, and produces a sparkling beverage like Champagne. The question is sometimes asked, ''Is it injurious?'' To allay all doubts on that score, we would say that we have consulted many of our most eminent Chemists and Physicians and all unite in pronouncing the use Anti fermentine as a preservative, a per fectly safe and harmless preparation. THE NEW M AY. Fill the jars with natural fruit, as it comes from the tree or vine; add one Antifermentine tablet dissolved on top of each pint of fruit,etc., until the jars are full, theh fill the jars with a syrup made of water and sugur, cover and put away. The results is a natural fruit with syrup. Blackberries rasp berries, cherries, peaches, grapes, etc., done with Antifermentine are as natural in appearance and taste as though just picked.
