Ederefield Advertiser THOS. J.ADAMS, ..... EDITOR WEDNESDAY, AUG. 1,1894. The total expenses of the United States Government in 1893 were $283,477,954.08._ Cotton picking has begun in Texas. They had seasonable show ors in tho cotton district last week, and the crop is estimated at two and a half million bales. A joint resolution to change the Constitution of the United States, to enable the people to elect United States Senators by ballot, has pass ed the House of Representatives by the necessary two-thirds ma jority. _ Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, presents some strong arguments why the Nicaragua canal should be speedily built. He says that oriental countries would take 3,000,000 bales of our cotton the first year and pay. better prices than England. x President A. S. Townes, for so many years at the head of the Greenville Female College has re signed from that Institution, and set up a female college nf his own -next door to the old college. Both institutions are to bc run on a high scale. Clerk of Court Metts, of Greenville, ha? issued a charter to'the new college. Its name is "The Greenville College for Young "Women." A. S. Townes and S. Brooks Townes are the corporators. A bill was introduced in Congress a few days ago providing silver medals for the Union soldiers from Pennsylvania and Maryland for their prompt action in volunteering their services to go to Gettysburg. An amendment was offered extend ing the honor to all soldiers who volunteered under similar circum stances. This would have cost the United States $50,000 or mora, but both the bill and amendment were happily defeated by Col. Talbert, of South Carolina. "Private15 John Allen facetiously remarked that it was not doing justice to the valor of the soldiers to present them medals made of the despised silver, but by all means to make them of gold. _ Housekeepers hold an unjust prejudice toward cotton seed oil. That in other quarters this preju dice is gradually diminishing sta tistics abundantly prove. About half of last year's product, 1,000, 000 barrels of oil, formed a part of lard; thousands of barrels are sent to the Mediterranean and add ed to olive oil ; Maine uses it for its sardine (?) preservation; hun dreds of thousands of barrels go to Holland to mix with butter, and how much of it is mixed with but ter and oleomargarine in this country is very hard to find out. It .is at least pronounced by our abiest chomists to be wholesome and having good food value. Its capabilities for purification are so great that it seems incredible that housekeepers should retain any distrust of it, knowing as they must the freedom from risk of dis ease in its use, as compared with poor or rancid lard. It is much pleasanter to use the oil of a seed than that of an animal. ARTIFICIAL LIMB FUND. Clerk of Court John B. Hill re ceived on Monday of this week the Comptroller General's warrant for one hundred and eighty-six dollars and fifty cents, which sum is to be pro rated to the beneficiaries of the Artificial Limb Fund, named below, as follows : H. W. Addison, $21 50 F. N. Branson, 35 00 J. W. Eidson, 47 00 T. B. Lanier, 10 00 G. W. Loft, 47 50 J. M. Miner, 15 00 N. H. Watson, 10 00 These parties can receive the amounts opposite their names by applying at the Clerk's oflice. A Turtle with a Queen Back. The London Globe. A curious specimen of mon strosity in a turtle (Chelone im bricata) picked up in the Atlanta, off Bordeaux, has been sent to the reptile house of the Museum of Natural History. Paris. The carapace, instead of sloping down ward like a roof in the ordinary way, cuves upward at the edges and forms a kind of inverted clam Bholl or saucer on the back of tho animal, whose body is strangely compressed and lengthened by tho deformity, which, however, is not Unique, a3 it has occurred among the CisUido orbicularis of Europe.

Evans, of Marlboro, president of the Farmers Alliance, was in tho city yesterday on his way to Clemson, of which college he is a member of the Board of Visitors. . Senator Evans was asked what, in his opinion, would be the prob able result of the uneasy feeling among Reformers brought about by the dissatisfaction that the Colisi?n idea of having a primary in the Reform party was giving. He said that the dissatisfaction was widespread and that the plan did not suit the people. "The only way," he said, "to satisfy the peo ple is to have a general primary, which is one of the fundamental principles of Reform and which was adopted in the first conven tion of the party. Judging from the result of V\Q Reform club meetings in Mr ri hero :ouuty there will not be 10,000 out of the 60,000 in the State that will participate in the primary as suggested by the Colletou idea. This is because the people do not like the idea and do ?not want the plan. "The Reform committee should either call the convention off or else adopt such uniform and sim ple rules as will give satisfaction to the people in all the counties. "The reason why the people are dissatisfied with the convention plan is because it is too much like going back to the old ring methods that prevailed before the days of Reform. If the Reformers cannot elect their candidates in a general primary they do not deserve tc win any more than the Conserva tives do if they cannot elect theirs by such means." Senator Evans said that the peo ple were not a party to the Reform primary plan. They had nothing to do with it. They did not make (up the committee nor could they be bound by what the commitiee had done. The candidates had bound themselves, but it was dif ferent as to the people. A Sensation in Aiken. News ami Courier. AIKEN, July 30.-In view of tht fact that thc Aiken dispensary is to be opened on Aug. 1, under or ders of Gov. Tillman, Mayor Chafee, on Saturday, 27th instant, addressed the following letter to Mr. Jason V. George, dispenser at Aiken : "Dear Sir : I hereby notify you that any opening of the dispensary at this place, except for the sale] of beer and wine, will be a viola-J tion of the ordinance of this city. In case of its opening for the Bale of vinous liquors only I shall ex pect you first to procure a license from the clerk of the city council." This letter was served upon Mr. George on Saturdav, and that ofii i cial sent it on to Gov. Tillman and asked for instructions. He says, however, that unless instructed otherwise by the Governor the dis pensary will open on time Wednes day morning, and he will not take out a license. The mayor says if j he does he will be arrested and fined !he same as any other viola tor of the ordinances of the city. A short while after the declara tion by the Supreme Court that the dispensary law was unconsti tutional tho city council of Aiken passed an ordinance licensing the sale of beer and wine. Under this ordinance three licenses have been granted, and beer and wine is daily dispensed in this city to those who apply for it. Thc mayor basis his action on the unconstitu tionality of the dispensary law. He says the dispensary cannot sell liquors, and that to sell vinous liquors a license must first be ob tained. The conflict will be watch ed with Interest. A Late Crop of Tomatoes, Those who wero not fortunate in getting an early crop of toma toes may now prepare for a late crop. Take cuttings or limbs from the tomato plant and set them out j from the 1st to the 20th of July. The advantage of cuttings is three fold. They begin to bear as soon as they begin to grow and boar right on till killed by frost. Try it and you will be pleased. An Old Doctor's Favorite. Dr. L. M. Gillam, who practiced medicine over forty years, origi nated, used, claimed that Botanic Blood Balm, which has now been in use about fifty-five years, was the best tonic and blood purifier ever given to the world.

The Old Wire-Pullins: Conven tion Plan Must Go. By Bequest. Editor Register: When the subject of electing a member of the Reform State Executive Committee after the Colletou plan was sug gested, I saw danger ahead. That danger is increasing each day. My fears were then expressed. These were dispelled by the advice that the purpose was to organize in time and that this committee be appointed to watch the opposition. In case they developed a candidate for Governor or State ticket, then it could call a convention of Re formers to suggest or nominate a candidate for Governor or a full State ticket. In case the opposi tion put up no ticket the conven tion could be called off. That committee had no right to deter mine for the people that conven tion should make nomination for State officers-one or all. That right is with the convention when it meets. The people cannot be j bound in this way to a nomination when there is no opposition in sight or likely to be any. Believ ing that the committee was actua ted by pure motives in the matter, it nevertheless smacks too much of the old wire-pulling methods which were repudiated in 1890. If there was an enemy in sight the people might endorse it upon principles of necessity, as the devil can be whipped only with fire. Had it been necessary any three of the Reform candidates would willingly retire. Now to retire either of them would be un fair to their supporters. There is now, no necessity for | this couvention. If it makes a nomination it will repudiate half j that the movement has gained. It may be wise to meet since the call but unwise to nominate. The people are not bound and cannot be bound by the action of the com mittee. It has transended its pow er. The people want the right of choice. For this they have fought and won. They oppose nomination : First, Because it is wrong. Second, It is unnecessary. Third, It is unwise, Fourth, They are too busy to take care of three elections. Fifth, They are suspicious that conventions make slates and firm rings. Sixth, They don't like to imi tate the hog in returning to the wallowing in the mire. Seventh, A majority are longinp for harmony in the State. The Reformers up to this 4 have been busy clearing away tue rubbish of the old decayed abd tumbled down Democracy ?nd lay ing a foundation for future build ing. There is plenty of good material in the woods yet. They are ready to build and anxious to get at it. They don't want any of the old rot ten material (caucuses, slates, rings { ect., in the hew Democratic struc ture. They want to conciliate, all worth conciliating, who approves the removal of the old building. Lots of them are anxious to leud a helping hand. Lets do right though the heavens fall. The rauk and file of the Reformers will do right if not prevented by some of their leaders. "CHESTER.." Big stock Saddles, all prices, just received at Ramsey cfc Bland's.

The Union Mutual is the only company that is sues policies giving the benefit of the Non-Forfeit ure Law, and specifying in definite terms by its Policy contract that there can be no forfeiture of insurance, by non-payment of premium, after three years' premiums have been paid, until the value pro vided for is exhausted in Extended Insurance. The Union Mutual Has been in business over Forty Years, during which time it has paid to its policy-holders oyer Twenty-six Million Dollars. It Pays Its Losses Upon Receipt of Satisfac tory Proofs, Without Delay or Discount, There can be no more certain provision for your family than your policy in The Union Mutual. Lion Mutual Policies Are the m^st lifcerl?f\Q?woffered to the public; they a-e incont stable afterol??^?ailfr?"^date ?j- issu,? and free from limitations as to Re^tfefteer^T^'? Suicide, or Occupation-Military and Naval Servit in times of war excep ed. After the payment of three full years'premiums in cash they are protected by the popular Maine Non-Forfeiture Law, the provi sions of which can apply only to policies written by this company. .. The Union . Mutual Is a purely mutual company;, its resources belong to the policy-holders and are utilized in giving tc them a maximum of benefits consistent with absolute security, there being no stockholders to absorb large profits. Each policy is stock in the company. Its officers and agents are paid their salaries and com missions, and they EARN THEM, 'xheseare included in the current expenses. Every dollar of the profit goes to the POLICY HOLDEBS ONLY. The Union Mutual Issues a policy which is as safe as Government Bonds, and far more profitable. It is not subject to taxes. It is^'not subject to administration. It is your financial safeguard. It keeps a man's NAME GOOD even beyond the grave. It goes where you wish it togo; is outside of all controversy, will or no will. It requires none of your time. It rrquires none of your attention. It causes no care or worry. It is absolutely YOURS. NO doubt about TITLE. It is looking out for "number one." It is "nailing down" something; "salting away" something for YOU and YOURS beyond the emergencies and risks of ordinary business. It ASSURES the success of that for which you are striving. It makes your future a certainty. It is the only property you can buy by simply loan ing a per cent, of its value yearly for such number of years as you may elect. It gives a constant satisfaction that no other prop erty "an produce for you. It is the only property that will surely cling to you through all financ*al storms. It is your LIFE-BOAT which may prove in later life a SHIP Of PB08PERITY. In fact, as said above, A LIFE POLICY IN The Union Mutual, OF PORTLAND, MAINE, Is the Best Investment a Man Can Make! The undersign^, General Manager for South Carolina, respectfully, and with the utmost con fidence in this company, Jcalls the attention of the people of Edgefield, and of the State, to the solid merits of THE UNION MUTUAL.
