Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1894. LOCAL? BREVITIES. Moon-eyed tigers, is what they call them now. Our towu was full of candidates on Monday of this week. Dr. W. D. Jenniags, Sr., is again at his old home, Edgefield. Anderson County has not yet brought out a single candidate. Dr. R. J. Talbert, of McCormick, was in town on Monday of this week. The State campaign meeting day for Edgefield is Thursday, Julv 19th. "Continued rains" is the way the weather bureau has of putting it down these days. Now is the time to put up your blackberry jam and jelly-chat is if you can get the berries. An exchange says plant your late crop of watermelons now, and they will ripen m September. The Hotel Edgefield is soon to be occupied again. A. S. Tomp kins, Esq., has had several appli cations for it. Edgefield County will be enti tled this year to two beneficiary cadetships in the Charleston Mili tary Academy. Some people think it no harm to sin if while at it they are all the time thinking of and about hell and damnation. Rev. Marion Dargan, of Colum bia, will preach in our village Methodist Church on next Sunday morning at ll o'clock. Big stock Saddles, all prices, just received at Ramsey & Bland's. Will almost make your pants laugh to ride on one of them. At the meeting of the County Executive Committee on Monday Mr. W. A. Cheatham, of Lougmires, was elected secretary pro tem. Josh Billings says: "When a fellow gits a-goiu' down hill, it duz seem as tho' everything had been greased for the okashun." Those good people in our coun try churches who Drayed for rain ought to have prayed with more understanding and "specified." The people of Greenwood and vicinity are straining every nerve in their efforts to have a new coun ty cut off by the next legislature. It is proposed to hold an elec tion among the Edgefield candi dates to determine which one is the "likeliest" and which the ?* YiumeVHJBfc'. "r-*~"~ ? George Elliott says it is very hard to make a sacrifice when it is probable that you may find out afterwards that the sacrifice was unnecessary. Miss Carrie Sheppard, the charm ing and popular daughter of Mrs. Ida Sheppard, is at home for the holidays, having closed her school in the Mountain Creek section. The ADVERTISER offers for the largest watermelon brought to this office a box of Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People. This is to encourage the industry and the pale people. Handsome John Lot;, who has been taking a course of steno graphy at an Atlanta business col lege, is at home again. John will soon occupy his former position in the Evans insurance office, ADVER TISER building. This is the season of the year when the farmers' mind stubbornly contemplates tbe purchase of farming imptements, and othe necessities in the hardware line. As'usual Ramsey ? Bland have prepared to meet every aemand along that line. Visit their store before laying in your supply. Wanted a few good, responsible, and energetic men to sell the Latest Improved Singer Sewing Machines, and to collect on accounts in Edge field county. To the right men wg guarantee good pay and permanent positions. Applicant must be able to give small honesty bond and foruish horse and harness. Apply at once to THE STNGER SEWING MACHINE COMPANY, Augusta, Ga. "The storekeeper who expects to d) much business in 1894, must practice that lesson taught in the following story: "Two frogs found themselves in a pail of milk and they could not jump out. One of them was forgiving up and said to the other, Good bye ; I sink, I die. Said his mate, "Brace up you duf fer! Keep juropin' and see what turns up.' So they kept jumping up and down all night aud by morning they had PO churned the mila that it turned to butter, and they jumped off the butter to the ground. The Abbeville Press and Banner says: "The idea of a little puny preacher invoking the blessing of Almighty God on such speeches as Tillman and Butler have been de livering is a travesty on decency andan insult to the Christain re ligion. A3 well open a prize fight, a horse race, a base ball game, or a lynching bee with prayer." It strikes us that our contemporary, is a little deaf. It isn't the size of the preacher or the state of his health either; puny or otherwise if his faith is as a graiu of mus tard seed he may be able to con vert Butler aud Tillman and even make evangelists of them. New Ones. W. H. S tall worth for the Legis lature, P. N.Lotr, for School Com missioner, Mid John C. Strother for County Supervisor, are the new announcements this week. The Gold Medal. Miss Jennie Reese, the 14-year old daughter of Mr. L. W. Reese, won the gold medal for general ex cellence at Saint Mary's Academy, Augusta, Ga. She also delivered the salutatory for the class. At Home Again. Mr. B. B. Evans, who has been absent for some weeks iu the in terest of his insurance agency, which embraces the wholn State, is at home again and may be now found in his office by his troops of friends. Honors Won at S. C. College. Among the honor winners at the South Carolina College we note thc name of J. G. Hughes, of Edge field, a member of the freshman class, as highly distinguished in French, distinguished . in English and German, and proficient in Latin and mathematics. Mr. Hughes is evidently a youth of versatile talent. A Cloud-Burst. On last Saturday afternoon about six o'clock there was a gen uine cloud-burst in our town and its environs. The cloud came up quite suddenly with a wind that was almost a cyclone and then burst. Torrents of water fell de luging crops and fields and filling our branches until they flowed over bridges and attained the tem porary size and dignity of rivers. The 18th Annual. The eighteenth annual picnic and barbecue of the Edgefield Hussars will take place as hereto fore announced on the 18th day of July inst. The public and the candidates are invited. Ladies will please make contributions of baskets, etc., as they have so kindly done in the past. The Hus sars propose this year to eclipse any previous effort and to give all who attend a day of unstinted pleasure. County Campaign Meetings. At the meeting of the County Executive Committee on Monday of this week the following county campaign meetings were arranged : Holley's Ferrv, Saturday, July 21st. Mt. Willing, Tuesday, July 24th. Ridge Spring, Thursday, July 26th. Red Hill, Friday, Aug. 3rd. Mountain Creek, Tuesday, Aug. 7th Sister Spring?, (Haltiwanger's) Saturday, Aug. 11th. It is well to remember that the first meeting (at Holley's Ferry,) is also a State campaign meeting day. A Wrong Sentiment. The sentiment which seems to exist in Edgefield county that a candidate's chances for election will be lessened by announcing bis name in any other paper than the Edgefield ADVERTISER, is not of our creation. On the contrary it is our judgment, after twenty' years expeiience in the business of attending to the wants of candi dates-seeing them pitch headlong into the soup to-day and to-mor row scale the ladder of fame to the very topmost round, that the very widest publicity possible should be given to their desire for office and this advice is given in the in terest of the candidates and the public. A Blind Tiger. The following local of a "blind tiger" and his doings at Clinton ward in this county, we clip from the Columbia State of Tuesday: "There was a general free fight and shooting scrape here to-day (Sunday) among a lot of drinking and gambling negroes. Nine shots or more were fired, all caused by that vicious beast, the "blind tiger." Thornton Davis was shot in the right side by Ed Martin, while Martin, who ran off, was shot in the hip by Cape Thomas, who bad already killed another negro this year. They are all colored, except the "blind tiger," and all bad. None were shot as severely as they deserved. Ladies on their way to church, which is close to this lair of the "blind tiger," are insulted and treated with contempt by the profanity and shooting near them, while the oaths of the rowdies can be heard in the church near by." Baptist S. S. Convention. The Edgefield Baptist Sunday school Convention of Edgefield county will meet at Plum Branch on Friday, July 27th, prox. The following are the subjects for dis cussion, and the speakers: First-Advantages to be derived from Sunday-school Conventions. Speakers, J L Ouzts, T G Talbert, John Lake, and J 0 Atkinson.

Club Meetings. See Chairman Tiramerman's no tice io another column ordering an election for delegates and an ex ecutive committeeman in the va rious Democratic clubs. These elections must be held on or before the 28th inst. Numerous Blooms. Considering the lateness of the spring, the cold March, April, and May, we have never seen cotton blooms more abundant at this sea son. It was a coLimon prediction iu the month of May that there would be no blooms this year until July 4th, which was the date be fore the war for the "first" bloom to make its appearance. Death of Editor Rowell. Editor P. E. Rowell, of the Greenwood Leader, died at his home in that city on Sunday morn ing las'. We clip the following account from the News and Cou rier: GREENWOOD, July 1.-Editor P. E. Rowell, who was shot several weeks ago by Editor Thompson, died this morning. Justice Kerr, acting coroner, held the inquest, and a verdict was rendered in the usual form without prejudice to either side. The post mortem ex amination showed a huge clot of blood bearing upon an artery. Thompson was sent to Abbeville, where he will apply to Justice Mc Gowan for bail. The circumstances attending the affair will be brought out only before a higher court. The case has been watched with earn estness on both sides, and expert testimony was introduced at the coroner's inquest. [For the ADVERTISER. The Candidates. MR. EDITOR: Since my commu nication of last week, June 27th, I have seen the Treasurer and he said he knew there was no money in those tax executions before they went out. Now who is to blame? I would say somebody-but who? Oh the candidates, the candi dates ! Oh how hard-favored some are, and some are handsome-but where oh where is the good one? Come one, come all, so says the poet. JOHN H. CARPERTER. Sunday School Normal Institute at Johnston's. EDITOR ADVERTISER : Plee 39 in sert notice in your paper that the Sunday School Teachers Normal Institute will be held in the churches at Johnston, July 24th and 25th, inst. The object of this Institute is to teach our Sunday School teachers better how to teach. We have secured two excellent, experieneed normal teachers and are making efforts to secure one or two more so that all departments of Sunday School work will be taught and illustrated practically. Full announcement made next week. Teachers from all Sunday Schools represented in the Inter denominational .Sunday School Association will be entertained free. Respectfully, D. B. FRONTIS, Chair. Ex. Com. Johnston, July 2. [For the ADVEKTISEK. Last Meeting of the Edgcfield Democratic Club on Satur day, June 30,1894. A meeting of the Edgcfield Democratic Club was held in the court-house on last Saturday, June 30th, at which Mr. N. G. Evans, having been appointed as orator for the aftemoou, spiritedly re sponded in a brief speech, confin ing his remarks principally to the political situation of the times. His speech was founded on facts and was pointed. He said nothing that could offend any true and honest Democrat. Mr. John B.Davis was expected as essayist, but he being absent owing to sickness in his farail}', Capt. Leggett read to the audience an essay prepared by himself, which was attentively listened to with admiration. Next was select reading by Sheriff W.H.Ouzts. The Edgefield Democratic Club is one of which not only its mem bers but Edgefield county should be proud. It is ably presided over by the Hon. W. H. Folk, who ex ercises great energy in making it rank as the foremost of the county, and with the exercises, such aB speaking, reading, etc., our meet ings are indeed attractive. New members are being regu larly enrolled, and before the nex1 primary rolls around there will be names on the roll of The Edgefield Democ-atic Club which were least expected. The following appointments were made for the next meeting: J. Wm. Thurmond, orator ; A. E. Padgett, essayist; John B. Hill, select reader. J. B. HALTIWANGER, Secretary. The fights on the tariff bill end this week, but the Republicans and Democrats differ as to time. The Old Hickory Wagons, in compaiable forever, still take the lead everywhere.

EDITOR : My attention bas been directed to the last issue of your paper in which some unknown friends kindly announce me as a candidate for the Legislature. I have never for a moment enter tained any idea of making the race. There are many reasons why I could not, even if I so desired. The law is a jealous profession, and demands the fullest allegiance of those who seek its honors or its emoluments ; least of all can it be made the handmaid of the politi cian. Within my memory there are frequent and s'riking examples of men who have sacrificed the one profession only to be sacrificed in the other. I am entirely content with 'the quietude of my chosen vocation and am unwilling to barter it for the uncertainty and excitement in cident to a political campaign. You will accordingly oblige me by withdrawing my name. Respectfully, JAMES H. TILLMAN. [For the ADVERTISER. Upper Choty News. MR. EDITOR: Rain and politics are all we have now ; and for the past two weeks the rain came in floods and gra^s will soon be ready fer the reaper. On last Monday evening the hardest rain fell that has fallen in Choty since old father Noah went sailing, and if there ever was a cloud-burst this was oue. The wa ter ran from the eaves of the house not in drops or streams but in sheets. The consequence of these rains is that the land is terribly washed and bottom corn and cotton almost all ruined, and that on the hills badi}' torn down and up. On Tuesday night Messrs. J. W. Delaughter and J. A. Lanier were caught from home and were unable to cross the branches and staid all night in sight of their own homes. Your correspondent himself was almost drowned in the effort to get home. Everybody was grumbling for rain before this, now all are praying for it to stop. If seasons continue crops will be all right. Upper Choty is using a great deal of economy now. Wc are using dinner pots for water buckets, and they make good ones. Try it, Mr. Editor. The sick in this community are all well, and the well are all better. A word about politics and I am done. Tillman for the Sedate, John Gary Evans for Governor, and Uncle Hodge for Lieutenant Governor will satisfy Choty. ENCORE. Franklin, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. Let Us Steal Awhile Away from Every Cumbering Care and Read About a Picnic, MR. EDITOR: Can you and your readers spare a few moments of your valuable time from policies to listen to some words about some thing else? We want to talk about a picnic. Whether our conversa tion will be found a bit edifying we don't know, "all's one for that" anyhow. This picnic was at the hall and was given by the Sweetwater Light Dragoons, successors to Hampton Rifles. Capt. James DeLaughter and his men had invited all the people to be present on the 22nd, but as the morning was cloudy and the prophets seemed rather prone to evil predictions, folks were plow to assemble. The Captain knew how to fetch 'em though, and when the band played "After the Ball" about ll A. M., you should have seen them coming, coming from everywhere 'most, and in all man ner of style, from the solitary out rider to the lumbering two-in-hand. And how glad all were to be there was shown by ways of action and by ways of speech. We interview ed several, and all are unanimous iu pronouncing it the pleasantest picnic they have attended this year. The Dragoons are congratu lated by many for the manner in which they acquitted themselves as hosts. While things were not arranged for style, they were ad mirably arranged for comfort, and -.ot only comfort but satisfaction satisfaction of the most comforta ble kiud-of the inner mau. If this is doubted, inquire of the candidates who were there. The barbecue, under the supervision of Mr. J. M. Hightower, was famous for deliciousness and much excel lence, and was in great plenty not withstanding the presence of more than half a dozen candidates. Next to the dinner was the num ber of pretty girls. They repre senied three counties in South Carolina aud the State of Georgia, to say nothing of Meriwether. Had the tender old poet been there how fittingly would he spoken of this 'rosebud gardeu of girls." As he would look upon them tripping the light fantastic or thrilling in deli cious whirls of the mazy. Would not he have declared them wing less angels in beauty given to woo our wandering thoughts from where floated on the shimmering breeze odors which awoke epicu rean dreams. Yes the girls and goodies are half of life-that is you know, when a fellow is eery fresh. Everybody that came to this pic was glad to see everybody else there, and that made it a suc cess of a day for the company and for the guests. There is on foot a movement to repeat it some sweet day shortly. Let's save.up for it. SIGMUS. Poverty Hill, S. C. [For the ADVERTISER. The Day at Parks ville-Another Account of the Commence ment at the Parksville High School. MR. EDITOR: In this season of school commpneements, all of them an evidence of the education al activity and progress of our peo ple, not one, we venture to say, has been held in the State that attain ed to a higher degree cf excellence or that reflected greater merit on teacher and pupil, than that of the Parksville High School held on the 24th>nd 25th ultimo ; and it is about it and Parksville and her good people, that we wish to "talk a bit." Parksville, the capital of western Edgefield, is a cheery, beautiful young town, full of energy and bu siness push, and is literally the birthplace of unbounded hospi tality and. virtue, and the residence of religious thought and education al progress. Her cultured, refined, and generous citizenship, her many churches presided over by men of able minds and noble christian im puises, her school, a perfection of all that the word implies, the ex ceedingly high and pure tone of her society, fully attest that this is so. To attempt to describe the pleasures, intellectual and social, that those enjoyed who attended this commencement would be an idle task ; incomprehensive, grace, brilliancy, and high-hearted hospi tality, it can never be surpassed. The school is in charge of Miss Willie Hudson as principal and Miss Bertie Respess as assistant, ladies not only conspicuous for literary culture and scholarship, but ripe in experience. Apprecia ting that how to teach is a graver question than its results how to learn, they have well fitted them selves for their high and honora ble calling, and under their con trol Pareille has a school of which any people might well feel proud. The school building is new, large, two stories, admirably arranged ; and is another evidence of the fact that this people are in earnest in this matter and are using energy and money in foster ing home education, the true foun dation in the race for educational advancement. The commencement was begun on Sunday by a sermon from Dr. Kilpatrick, a distinguished divine of Georgia. A large and appreci ative audience greeted tba speaker. His discourse, simple in style yet elegant and pure in diction and practical and helpful in thought, entirely captured nis hearers. In the afternoon the young iuiks gathered in the Baptist church, and religious exercises, consisting of short talks on prac tical subjects by Dr. Kilpatrick and others, and vocal music, were conducted for an hour or BO. A peaceful night intervenes, and happy visitors slumber under the hospitable roofs of Parksville and the surrounding country. To-mor rows sun ie to herald the hap piest day of all this gladsome time. Early, too early for our heavy eyes, the streets of the fair little town are all bustle and ex citement, ?ud soon a mighty rush is made for the academy building where tho closing exercises are to beheld under the management of that sterling and worthy citizen Mr. L. F. Dorn assisted by others. The vast throng is seated and af ter prayer, the little folks began their declamations. The pieces were well chosen and of high literary merit, were ex ceedingly well rendered. At eleven o'clock, Dr. D. A. J. Boll, the gifted and prominent young physician, in a happy style introduced as the orator of the oc casion, Hon. J. C. Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard appeared at his best and made an address worthy of the oc casion, and worthy of his big brain and patriotic heart. After the sumptuous dinner tho crowd, well filled, returns to the school building and the older pu pils declaim. They acquit them selves one and all splendidly and give full eyidence of thorough training and strong elocutionary powers, comparisons are invidious, but we were especially impressed with the following who recited with real dramatic fire and with deep feeling and with much grace ;of manner, viz: Misses Minnie Dorn, Lillie B. Dobey. Alice Tal ley, Minnie Huflman, Carrie El kins, Sudie Garnett. Ella [Parks, Bertha Whatley, Jennie Bruueon, Hattie Bell and Masters Teague Carter and Joe Harmon. And now the shadows slant and supper is eaten, and then the Parksville Band sounds the premo nition to assemble again to witness the coming programme. It con sists of music vocal and instru mental, scarf and daisy maid's drill and a play the "Lady of Lyons." These closing exercises are beautiful and brilliant through out. The play is rendered with spirit and enthusiasm. Each cast sustaining their role gracefully! and well. After this, good night is said and we depart with a heavy heart, but the happier, wiser, aud better for having attended this memora ble commencement. VISITOR. Edgefield, July 2. The Citizen in thc Country. Now thb boarder from the city roams the fields a careless rover, trying hard to tell the difference between Indian corn and clover. For the turnip tree he searches, and he seeks with zeal divine for the ruta-baga orchard and the spreading parsnip vine. Climbs the gra?e vine for ba nanas, and through fragrant fields he cuts, scanning elderberry bushes in his search for cocoanuts. And through swamps and tangled forests with unwearied feet he pushes, searching day by day in patience for the watermelon bushes. And he asks the startled farmer if he's through his nutmeg hoeing; how his chocolate trees are doing; how his lemon vines are growing. If he's dug his early crop, if he's sawed his sweet potatoes, if his slippery elm is planted, if he's grafted his tomatoes. If he's trimmed his early grass trees, if he thinks there is more money in potato bugs than rais ing honeysuckle for his honey. WHISKEY!!!
