Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, AUG. S, 1S94. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. Economy in youth makes an easy chair for old age. On last Wednesday, the first day, the Edgefield dispensary took in a little over $30. "A kiss is the anatomical juxtaposition of obicularis muscles in a state of contraction." All who wish lots of Bargains will do well to call early at The Edgefield Cash Store. Three hundred thousand water melons passed through Chester du ring two days of last week. The goods must be sold and if you wish great bargains, you can find them at The Edgefield Cash Store. The State Board of Equalization has added 10 per cent to the val uation of real estate in Edgefield county. Ex-sheriff M. T. Holley, of Ai ken, has been appointed chief con stable for the enforcement of the dispensary law. We came near forgetting to say th^t last Sunday, Aug. 5th, was cold enough for fire; the chill of, October was in the air. ''Lat the Alliance trot out a hun dred candidates if it wishes. If I don't run them all into the bushes J'm a nigger.''-Tillman at Orange burg. "When I get there (to the Sen ate) if I don'i tell those scoundrels of their low, mean and devilish ways, Tm a nigger.-Tillman at Orangeburg. The United States Court, assem bled at Greenville on Monday of this week. A good many prison ers, and others, went up from our town and county. Rev. Vasthine Herlong, an old citizen of Eagefield county, at present chaplain of the Florida penitentiary, is on a visit to his old home on the Saluda side. You eau buy anything you want at very much reduced prices at The Edgefield Cash Store. If a snail's head be cut off and the animal placed in a cool, moist spot a new head will be grown. It's the same way with the candidates. If you don't get elected this time soak your head and try it again. A friend writes us that "the campaign meetings this year are the cause of so much rain. The good Lord does not approve of this arraigning of brother against broth er and is tryiug to break 'em up." Go to the Edgefield Cash Store for Bargains, Opera House Build ing, in the Store formerly occupi ed by Messrs. Pearce & Allen now recently by Mr. J. Walter Peace. If you are looking for Bargains -immense bargains, go to the Edgefield Cash Store. A large assortment of first-class goods to be thrown on the market at a big sacrifice at The Edgefield Cash Store. A banana skin lay on a grocer? floor. What are you doing there? asked the scales, peeping over the edge of the counter. Oh, I'm lying in wait for the grocer. Pshaw, said the scales ; I've been doing that for years. Napoleon, who understood how to break up mobs, used to say that it was cruel to fire blank cartridges, because it induced rioters to be lieve that nothing harder would be fired, and made the ultimate sup pression of a riot all the bloodier. Among other calamties brought by the wet weather, worms have attacked musk melons, and Ab. Clark (colored) says "he spec they'll start on the ginger cakes next, but he'll see 'em bout it; ef they kin git thar befor him dey'll hatter git up early." A Georgia lady who has cleared lots of money selling eggs, chick ens and butter says that a fresh fat piece of lightwood kept in the water trough will preserve the health of chickeusall the summer and fall. The piece of lightwood should be changed occasionally. There will be a big barbecue given at Perry's Cross Roads, in this county, twelve miles from Newberry, on Friday, Aug. 17th. Candidates from both counties are invited. Although the State cam paign will be over Butler and Till man are expected to be present. The committee of investigation ha? pronounced every department at Clemson College to be admira bly arranged and managed, and the college to be in a highly pros perous condition with the bright est outlook. No fault could be found with President Craighead's administration. The defalcation of Gen. S. W. Ferguson, former secretary and treasurer of che Mississippi levee board, will be a great surprise to his friends and acquaintances in this State. An investigation of the books show a total shortage of $38, 000, which will be an absolute loss to the tax payers, as his bond is worthless. Ferguson's wherea bouts are unknown, and he has doubtless quit the country. He was the originator of the "shot gun policy" in politics during the reconstruction era, and visited South Carolina in the campaign of 1876. Many of our readers will remember Gen. Ferguson. He made a speech in our public park in 1876. Mr. J. L. Zachry, of Grauite ville, had hi? store and almost all his stock of goods destroyed by fire on Wednesday. The origin of the fire is unknown. The stock consisted of drv goods, clothing and groceries and was valued about $7,005. The total insurance was for $5.000. It is said he will rebuild at once. Mr. Zachery is the very polite gentlemen who bought out Mr. W. H. Turner's stock of fancy notions last year. Revisits His Old Home. Mr. Robert T. Bell, a native of Edgefield county, at present living at Kitchen's Mill, is now visiting his old home in Sbatterfield, this county. Mr. Bell is a most worthy and excellent citizen. We are glad to believe that he is doing well in his adopted home on the bankB of the Edisto. Fine Cabbages. Mr Abe Broadwater has raised some very fine cabbages this year, one of which weigh 14 pounds, equal to Buncombe N. C. cabbage, and he tells us, thac Mr. E. C. Winn has an acre of cabbages, that will av erage 14 pounds each. The ex cessive rains bad something to do with these mammoth vegetables. Editor Jas. T. Parks. Jae. T. Parks, an old habitue jf Edgefield, now editing The Marion Farmer, paid a short visit to our town last week. His many friends were delighted to see him, and are glad he is so w?ll pleased with his new home, although the Edgefield girls still draw him like a magnet ; he cau't deuy the soft impeach ment. Another Barbecue. There will be a first-class barbe cue at Noah Goff's near Etheredge, on Wednesday, Aug. 15, furnished bv Messrs. Noah Goff and James Hare. Hon. W. J. Talbert, Jno. Gary Evans, and Tom Watson of Ga., will be the important speak ers of the day. The public is cor dially invited. Rates for dinner will be very reasonable. Edgefield Cotillion Club. Pursuant to the call of the presi dent, the members of the Cotillion Club met in the club room on last Friday and elected the following officers for the ensuing year : B. B. Evans, president : Alvin Hart, 1st vice-president ; A. E. Padgett, 2nd vice-president; P. B. Mayson, 3rd vice-president; F. E. Cheatham, secretary and treasurer. The an nual ball will be given on Sept. 20th. Grass Widow Thrown In. If Coxe}' is still in the humor of walking on grass and will come down to Edgefield county'he will be met by a committee of recep tion and invited, importuned, so licited, to walk on grass, sit on grass, stand on grass, lie on grass, and roll on grass-and will not be put in jail or charged a cent for the privilege, and when he gets ready to depart, we will present him with a grass widow, as a sou venir, and to remind him that all is not gold that glitters-some of it is grass. Mashes it in the Ground. Mr. Abe Broadwater, who lives three miles from our village, has not a blade of grass in his cotton fields of many acres, and this not withstanding the continued rains and the impossibility of plowing. We had heard this from so many sources that we determined when next we saw Mr. Broadwater to questiou him as to bow he mau aged to bring about so wonderful a state of affairs, so accordingly on last Saturday we interviewed him on the subject. "How did I get rid of the grass?" he said, "Why, I am so heavy I mash it in the ground." In other words Mr. Broadwater attended to his busi ness, and before he even saw the grass he plowed it and hoed it out of sight. A Terribie Accident. On last Wednesday morning, the day the Edgefield dispensary re opened, about 6 o'clock, as Mr. Samuel C. Taylor, an old and re spected citizen of our town, and until recently a Tillmanite and is yet, was coming from his residence in North Edgefield to Giles Butler's blacksmith shop to have a new handle put on his frying pan, (which had been broken by a fall from the mantel-piece) as has been his custom for many years, except for a lew days during the year 1876, those days that tried men's souls and redeemed our prostrate State from the iron heel of Radical rule, at which time he was confined to his bed by a carbuncle caused by his efforts to stop a yoke of steers running away with a wagon load of pumpkins and a little boy whose father has long since gone to his eternal home, Where the wicked cease from troubling And the weary are at rest Let all be admonished by the above to lead better lives, and never look upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth color in the cup,wheu it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and 8tingeth like an adder. [For the AnvKRTisKR. Mr. Boozer Declines. I seo that some kind friends, through your permission, have plpced my name before the people as a candidate for legislative hon ors. Permit me to return them my sincere thanks for kind reference and past favors. I hope that I am not insensible to the claim that now calls for good men, patriotic men, men who would be willing to sac rifice self for the welfare of the country-such a spirit should ani mate every breast-but the condi tion of my health admonishes me not to undertake a canvass ; there fore, I respectfully beg you to withdraw my name from the list. Very truly, C. P. BOOZER. CORRESPONDENCE [For the ADVKKTISKU. Our Correspondent Visits Gov. Smith's Farms, the Largest in the South, 3,000 Bales of Cot ton and 30,000 Bushels of Corn Made Per Annum-The Athens Dispensary and How it is Run. Its Similarity to Ours in South Carolina. DEAR ADVERTISER: Although duty calls us far away from Edge field yet ever and anon our mind reverts to the hills and streams of our native county. May it ever be thus ! Leaving home early Friday morn I ing/July 21st, we reach the hos pitable home of our friend Joe A. Long, where we dine and have time to look over his farm before board ing the cars. He has fifty acres of corn that will make at least 2,000 bushels. Friday L-ight we lodge with our old college-room-mate Calhoun pushing, progressive Greenwood Here we have a tilt with some the citizens over the new couuty They are exceedingly hopeful, an are doing everything in their power to accomplish their purpose. Really they deserve to succeed ; but for our life we can't W?BU then success unless they would hold up on Edgefield territory. Boarding the G., C. & N., which by the way, is the finest road iii our State, we are soon speeding across the Savannah and over and through the red hills of our sister State. We pass several small new towns, then Elbarton, and finally reach Athens, the boyhood home of the great. Grady. While here we had a look upon the roof that once sheltered Georgia's most magnetic sou. It stands on Prince avenue a few feet back from the street and is shaded by several native oaks. We would have known it from the picture we have so often suen bad it not been pointed out. In the streets of Athens also stands the "plain marble shaft,' in th? side of which is cut the name to which Mr. Grady so much loved to refer in his speeches. THE ATHENS DISPENSARY. Another place we visited while h^re was ihe famous Athens Dis pensary, after which it is claimed ours is planned. . We had been told by one that there was no similarity between that and the South Carolina -dis pensary. A few questions pro pounded /to the dispenser, who kindly answored them all, soon re vealed to us the fact that the dif ference after all was not much There, we were told, you could get whiskey as often in a day as you pleased; do not have to be identi fied, nor do you have to Bign your name. One under the influence of liquor cannot get it for lovo or money. Not less than a pint nor more than a gallon sold in a lot. The profits are equally divided be tween the town and county. You are not prohibited from having whiskey shipped in from other places. They open at 6 o'clock and and close at 6 o'clock. The profits since the plan has been in operation, some three years, have averaged about $50,000 a year. Their liquors, while of the same quality, are much cheaper than ours. LEXINGTON, GA. An hour's ride on the Georgia road brought us to the town oi" Lexington. It reminded us of Edgefield before "Old Tumblin" reached you. From here, in com pany with several friends, both male and female, we went out to the noted shaking rock. Picture to yourself a rock as large as a four room dwelling with another on top of it perfectly balanced the size of a barn, and you have the shaking rock. A three-year-old child can Bhake it violently, 60 well is it balanced, and yet dozens of stalwart men have been unable to topple it off. An Indian legend is connected with it, but space forbids a reproduction of it here. LARGEST FARMER IN THE SOUTH. While here we go out to Sraith onia, the home of the largest farm er in the South, Col. Jas. A. Smith. Eliminating rhetoric, poetical ex pressions, etc., we will only state a few facts. There are 23,000 acres in his estate. He works 200 con victs and 500 free laborers: runs 300 plowB, makes from 3,000 to 3,500 bales of cotton, about 30,000 bushels of corn ; has 500 head of cows, 500 hogs, ships a carload of cattle every week, milks 150 cows, haB a daily yield of 75 pounds of butter, owns and runs a cotton seed oil mill, guano factory, corn and wheat mill, etc., has two lines of railroad, one connecting with the G., C. & N. and the other with a branch of the Georgia road. I counted 80 wagons on the farm. He has the strictest system in everything. His business, over which ho himself has the general superintendence, is carried on like clock work. His farm extends for miles in every direction. His laud6 are highly improved and very productive. It takes from September to March to gin his own crop. FIFTY ACRES IN CLOVER. The prettiest sight we saw was his fifty aero field of clover, now ready for the mower. He has severn threshing points on his plan tation and a threshing machine at each point. Before the war he was an overseer. After the war he com menced with a three-horse farm. To-day he is the largest farmer in the South. The personality of the man is striking, and when younger he was handsome. He has an open face, high forehead and a business eye. He ?B very simple in dress, was wearing jeans pants, patched in various places, a plain white shirt with collar anda gingham coat, which by the way was what he put on by way of "dressing up" as he expressed it. He has served two terms in the Georgia legislature and one in the Senate. His memory is simply wonderful. A more pleasant and better informed mau we have never met. His guests have become so numerous that he has put up a ho tel for their accomodation. The Pasha of Egypt spent a week with him last year on his return from the World's Fair for the purpose of studying the method of raising cotton. The Colonel like all old bachelors is fond of the girls, and after dinner, which consisted en tirely of vegetables of all sorts, and which just suited our sharpen ed appetites, threw open his parlor and while he and the male portion of our party enjoyed a nice vana, the girls "made the walls ring with merry music. Later in the afternoon he had us carried out to Five Forks, in his private car. This road runs tnrough the finest portion of his farm. Never before had we seen upward of a hundred plows abreast. GEORGIA POLITICS. A word as to Georgia politics and we must away to Carolina. The Third party over there is just what the Reform party is here. They hope to carry the State, and are confident Watson will go to Congress from the 10th. The Third partyites in Georgia are great admirers of our Governor, while the Democrats consider him a lyrant of the deepest dye. RETURNS TO CAROLINA. Thursday night finds us with our friend Pitts in the modest but beautiful town of Clinton. Here we visit the Orphanage and are struck with the number of pretty and substantial buildings on the campus. All honor to the mau who founded this institution 1 Boarding the train Friday we are speeded south to Columbia, then east to Sumter and changing cars are wnirled northward through Darlington to Bennettsville. On the cars we met Hon. W. D. Evans who talked pleasantly on the politioai situation, told us of Gantt's ejection from the Alliance, and said he didn't believe the State Executive Committee would agree to give Butler hiB separate box. IN MARLBORO COUNTY. An hour's drive in company with our young friend Mr. J. C. Coving ton brings us to our new home. We are tired and sleepy and away to bed. Next morning we awake to look out upon one of the prettiest sections of country in the State. The lands are perfectly level, in a high state of cultiva tion, and are very productive. A bale to the acre is an average crop. It is a town-country. From my window .I can count a dozen or more beautiful homes. Land is valued at from $50 to $100 per acre. The people are all well-to do, high toned, and extremely kind. Their school building is a model of beauty and convenience. The location is the prettiest I ever saw. A natural grove of large oaks sur rounds it. The [church stands on the same lot and so does the Alli ance hall. Here the I. 0. G. T. and the K. of P. meet each once a week. This community is Reform in politics; the same can be said of the county. With best wishes for the ADVER TISER and promising a short letter occasionally, we continue our norn de plume. BUD. Clio, S. C., Aug. 4th. [For the ADVKRTISEU. Thc Grass Grows Apace. We have had rain, so much rain, which is injuring the crop much in places, especially on fiat lands, where the corn and cotton are drowned out. Oh high slaty lands the crops are badly damaged. The grass is.also injuring them, as it has been impossible to keep them clean, as very little plowing has been done during the past month, and nat much hoeing. If we could have had Coxey's army to trample out our grass we would not have treated him so badly aB the people of Washington did, who fined and imprisoned him and his lieutenants for walking on the grass. There is no use of talking about cleaning the grass out of the crop now, it is an impossibility and cannot be done. Farmers have a hard time now and then ; the dry weather almost ruins the crop, and at times the wet weather does them about as bad. There is never any certainty about making a good crop. I consider the farmer the founda tion of the world. All avocations of the world are dependent upon him for bread, and yet some silly and ungrateful people look upon him rather contemptuously and frown on him as a poor clodhopper, and perhaps never think their bread comes from the farmer. Of all men the farmer snould be re spected and given a fair chance. All farmers should stick togeth er and stand up for their rights, and think before acting, and not be so ready to kick out of the traces if everything is not done just as they want it. They must recollect that a few representatives can't pass laws themselves, and if they can't get a majority to go with them they cannot make a law, it-don't matter how hard they work. : The people, or at least a great many of them, will be glad when the campaign is over, unless it could go on in peace and harmony. It's rather disgusting the way the candidates and people act. At every place there is some one in the crowd always ready to get up a fuss, which ought not to be al lowed. Give every candidate a fair showing, and let him have his say, even if its not worth hearing. It seems that some of the candidates are getting to be desperate, as they see_there is not much chance . for them to be elected. They are find ing'fault with the nominating ma chinery at this late day, and want different wheels put in to roll them into'office, but it don't matter how many wheels they have, big or little, and what material they are made of, if the right material is not in the candidate he never can be rolled into the office he is so anxious for. Some men criticise severely the way some candidates act and get elected to office, and at the same time they would do just as those they complain of do, if they only were smart enough. I expected this campaign to be carried on on a high plane, as an old war horse was in the race who has been in office a long while, but was ^mistaken. He, it seems, loses his temper as we^ll as other mortals, and picks up very small things to fight with, which has not done him any good, but rather the reverse. If there is any sign in the action^ of men at the campaign meetings Gov. Tillman will be the next United States Senator. LOOKER ON. [For the ADVERTISER. Old Wells Club Again. There appeared in the last issue of your paper a communication signed by L. W. Whitlock, grossly misrepresenting a meeting of the Old V eils Democratic Club, as well, as myself. I will not notice the article fur ther than to ask the publication of the enclosed certificate signed by members of the club who were present, which will show that the communication above referred to is freighted with malice, and contains little or no truth. No sane man would question my loyalty to the Reform movement, and none but a slanderer would be guilty of what Mr. Whitlock perpetrated. Respectfully, JOHN C. SWEARINGEN. CERTIFICATE. We the undersigned members of the Old Wells Democratic Club each and ev?ry one of us having been present at a meeting of the club, called by the president for the 27th day of July last, declare that the report published in the Edgefield ADVERTISER and signed by L. W. Whitlock, secretary, is not true in the following particu lars: First, That the motion to ad journ was not made by J. C. Swear ingen, but was made by J. E. GreeD and Elbert Mundy, both Tillman men, and was seconded by at least eight or ten, and put by the presi dent and carried without a single objection in any shape or form, and the meeting adjourned. We further declare that the name of Tillman, Butler, Conservative, or Reformer was not mentioned in the club meeting. A. S. SWEARINGEN, Pres. W. J. WHITLOCK, JAS. W. SMITH, SAMUEL MURPHY, J. H. CARPENTER, M. W. CARPENTER, J. M. BRYANT, H. L. SMITH, J. C. SWEARINGEN, J. D. HARDEN, J. J. BOZSWOREH, B. A. CARTER, Y. BRYAN, J. E. BRYAN. fFor the ADVERTISER. Interesting Notes from Old Owiug to excessive rains, much grass, and meagre rations, Choty's brawny sons are wearing long, lean, sober faces. Corn and potato "craps" are good but when cotton says "star vation here," we drop our heads and grow serious, not believing blessings come in disguiee and that we are already blessed more than we deserve. Protracted meetings are now go ing on amongst us, and we sincerely hope the good derived from them will at leaBt counteract the evil influence of the Modoc still, which I am told is dispensing whiskey far and wide to all who ask for it accompanied with cash. Bill Andrews, a reliable negro of this section, turned his horse out to graze, a large fine black, and as he was eating near the chimney. Bill hollowed to him to go back, the horse wheeled to run and struck his head against the chimney. Death was the result three days after the blow. Miss Mattie Timmerman has just returned from a protracted stay with her sister, Mrs. Clegg. of Callison. Since her return, not only the beardless youths lo^k more happy, but the long bearded men as well. Mrs. Jennie Hubbard, of Au gusta, is spending a while with Mrs. P. B. and Mrs. J. C. Whatley. The young folks are butterflying ?he community, persistently, and as a result I predict an abundant harvest of orange blossoms in De cember. While Choty is not at white heat politically she is proud, very proud, of the popularity of her favorite representative, J. Wm. Thurmond, who is making such rapid strides up the ladder of fame and towards legislative honors. We do not claim this as his birth place, but he has taught school here two sessions and lived for a long time among us, and knowing his struggles for self education since a mere stripling; knowing his honesty and integrity; chis noble character and Christian life, we love him and bespeak for him a hearty support by the voters of Edgefield county, assuring them that he will always do his con scientious duty boldly and fear lessly. RIP VAN WINKLE. ESQ. Faifa, S. C., July 6th. . [For the ADVERTISER. Some Good. Words for Candidate Harling. In justice t-D MP. L. P. Harling, who has been announced as a can didate before the Democratic pri maries for the nomination as a member in the State Legislature, we his neighbors truthfully say, that owing to the condition and extreme illness of hiswite, he will not be able to thoroughly canvass Edgefield county, and any appar ent inactivity on his part is thus explained in this card. We are induced to say that Mr. Harling lives in a very rich and populous section of the country, known as Shatterfield. The lands are good, and their high assessed value brings a large revenue into the State and county treasuries. This, together with the dense white population, entitles this section of country to at least one representa tive in the House of Representa tives. Moreover this section of country has never been represent ed since the days of the lamented Callison. Mr. Harling will veli care for the interest of the farming class, and his good sense and integrity bf character will allow no detriment to befall his constituency. His war record will compare favorably with that of any survivor. A lad of 16 years, he entered the service, and for four long, gloomy years, stood to his post, braving every deadly conflict that his regiment encountered, and was never absent but twenty days. His patriotism led him as the organizer of the Confederate Survivors Association in this county, knowing that to celebrate the memorable days and heroic deeds of a nation is its life and prosperity. The Alliance, at its incipiency, had no stronger ad vocate, and for two years he com manded the respect and esteem of sub-Alliance No. 178 at Liberty Hill, aB its president. Mr. Harling is a Reformer, and we, as his neighbors, can well as sure the voters of Edgefield county that he will at all times be found at his post battling for the rights of his countrymen, and never will he surrender as long as there is one shot in the locker.
