THOS. J. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1893. _ - r-? ----- 4> VOL. LVIII. NO. 39. A FISTICUFF. Caused by an Editorial in thc Columbia Register. COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 15.-Edi tor Geo. R. Koester, of The Colum bia Register, and Lawyer W. Gibbes Whale-y, the leading Till manite of Charleston, indulged in a fisticuff in the lobby of the Jerome hotel this afternoon. Mr. Koester gave offence in an edito rial in the Regisier of August 14, in which he stated that in Char leston last Saturday a gentleman accused Whaley of cowardice, Mr. Koester being himself the gentle man referred to. Whaley arrived here this afternoon to attend the Reform State convention tomor row. On being shown the editori al he addressed a note to Koester charging him with "perverting the truth of a conversation," and ut tering deliberate falsehood. Koes ter walked over to the Jerome, where a number of delegates were collected, and accosted Whaley. Some conversation ensued, and Whaley demanded to know if Koester intended to charge him with cowardice in Charleston. Koester replied that he did, where upon Whaley struck at him, or slapped him in the face (Whale} says the latter.) Koester struck back and bystanders interposed. But as the combatants were being pulled apart one of the Charleston delegates hit Koester a severe blow under the ear. Koester says he was then struck several times. No further trouble between the two men is looked for. The Dog That Went to the Poorhouse. Animal Friend. An incident which would seem to prove that a dog learns to un derstand the language of his coun try was related by one willing to vouch for its truth. And this is the story : A dog had come to be very old in a family in a country village. One of the family remarked on a certain day, as the dog lay, in the room: "I think Sancho ought to be put out of the way. He is only a nui sance now." That afternoon Sancho disap peared, and as the days passed did not return. In the course of a week a neighbor said : * "I see that your dog is up at the poorhouse." On inquiry it was learned that Sancho, having called at the poor house and been kindly received, had continued on as a guest. And ever after, although he sometimes made a brief call at his own home he lived at the Town Farm, and there peacefully ended hie dog's life. Possibilities of Natural Gas. Cashier's Magazine. The possibilities of natural gas evidently have not yet been ex hausted. The latest use which would seem to have been found for it is the making of ice, the idea being to simply expand the gas from its usually high initial pres sure down to, or near, that of the atmosphere, nature having done all the preliminary work of com pression and cooling, making the gas ready to absorb heat from its surroundings immediately upon being released from confinement. AU that would be necessary would be suitable coils or chambers into which the gas could be allowed to expand. It has been calculated out quite plausibly, in fact, that with ordinary gas well, furnishing I, 500,000 cubic feet per day, some thing like fifty tons of ice could be turned out daily at an expense of about 50 cents a ton. The gas loses nothing but its pressure, re taining all its calorific value, and, hence, all its virtue for rolling mill and glass works use, for heating blick, lime, and pottery kilns, and the endless number of ether fur naces to which it is adapted. In a certain way, therefore the gas may be regarded as affording some thing for nothing-a desideratum to which many in this world are constantly looking forward. The Dog Days. These are the dog days. They begin July 2 and ended August II. They have nothing to do with the dogs beyond making those ani mals uncomfortable, like the rest of us, from the heat. They get their name from the fact that Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation of the Great Dog, and called the Dog star, on these days rises and sets with the sun. You can see Sirius any bright win ter night. It is a beautiful bluish star, as bright as -Tupiter, and rises soon after Orion, the great giant who has stars for a belt and stars for a sword. The ancients, *xho did not Know enougL to discover that the world was round or moyed around the sun, took notice that the days when tho Dog star kept pace with the sun they had the greatest heat, and they thought, therefore that this star produced it. "What the Doctors Say. il Alcohol is a poison. 2. Wheii taken imo the system it is not assimilated, but passes the round of the circulation, and is finally thrown off through the or gans of excretion, unchanged. 3. While passing through the body it disturbs the various phy siological processes, and in this way lays the foundation for dis ease. 4. It does not stimulate nor strengthen, but it depresses and weakens. 5. As it is not assimilated, it eau not be a a food. 6. As it disturbs every physio logical process, it cannot be a med icine. 7. There is no disease afflicting the body that cannot be more suc cessfully treated without than with the use of alcohal. Many a life has been saved by means of some little scrap of in formation picked up at odd times and stored away in a corner of the brain until wanted. Two weeks ago The Times told you what to do in case a companion \va6 apparent ly drowned, and, also, bow you could often keep yourself afloat till assistance arrived, or even get to shore if not far out, by "tread ing water." Here is another item. If you or a companion should be bitten by a dog or a snake, suck the wound as hard aud aB long as you can. You would not be likely to swallow the blood, but if you were io do so it would not hurt you, for such poison is serious on ly when injected into the veins or j arteries. The life of an English King, Edward I., was once saved by his brave wife, the Good Queen Eleanor, who sucked the wound made by a poisoned dagger.-N. Y. Times. There are 811 patients at the State Asylum, and for the last few days there have been additions of one a day. The Board of RegentB considered the situation and de cided to return thirty-five to their homes. Of this number fifteen are white men, four are white wo men and the others are colored. Of this number many are cured while the others are in such condi tion that they can be cared for at home as well as at the Asylum. The largest number that has been in the Asylum previous to this rush was seven hundred and ninety-eight. It is probable that the Regents will ask for an appro priation with which to build a safe place for the poor colored patients. Many of them now have to be quartered in wooden buildings, which is exceedingly dangerous. The King-Pan, or Capital Sheet, of Pekin, is the oldest newspaper published. It was first issued in A. D. 911, and appeared irregu larly. Since 1351 it has been pub lished weekly. It now haB three editions daily ; the early morning edition is devoted to commercial news and prices ; thc forenoon edi tion contains official and general news. Those editions are printed on yellow paper ; an afternoon edi tion on red paper is especially pre pared for country readers. The daily circulation is about 14,000 copies. Ah! my friend, thou mayst be sunk very low down in sin and woe, but there is a thread of divine love that comas from the dtvine throne of heaven and touches even thee. Seize that thread. It may be small, but it is golden. Im prove what you have, however lit tle, and more shall be given. That thin thread of love, if you will not neglect it, shall lift even you up to God and glory.

"Van Star" Imagines Himself Speaking to tbe Disappointed Candidates Alter the Pri mary is Over. Ladies and fellow disappointed candidates: That feeling of sympathy which stirs every human heart at the sight of sad disappointment burns in my bosom at present. Being some what subject to disappointment of late years myself, I know better how to extend you my entire sym pathy, and,. if possible, speak a word that might soothe your bleed ing hearts. Oh, how often have I wished that Time herself could retrace her in evitable footsteps, and once more land me safely upon the happy shore of innocent childhood, where I could for a little while put away the sad realities of disappointed anticipations, and revel in that happy fruition which alone visits the human heart at that age. Would that I could command lan guage so pleasant, so calm, and so balsamic in its nature that ere the setting of the sun, joy, not sadness, would-fill your souls ! I thank God that I was born in an age when I can be some conso lation to you who wear the fetters of disappointment. But cheer up, fellow citizens ; the poet who wrote the immortal lines, "There is no place like home," was surely the mouth-piece of the human race. That poet represented the whole world, while those, your more for tunate brethren^ can only represent a 6mall portion thereof. I tell you, my dear, sad friends, it is not the man who fills the high est position in life that always does the most good for his country. If your intentions were good, and you aspired to office for the purpose of Uonefitnng your depressed fellow countrymen, you will certainly not cease to be a hero at home. I tell you, fellow citizens, I have been thinking about politics for 6ome weeks,-and if .1 tell' you the-truth, (an honest confession is good for the soul,) I humbly confess that I have had a "huge" war with my conscience. My conscience brought up the question stated somewhat like this : "Resolved, That all can didates do not run for the purpose of helping their fellow men, but aim at Ego pure and simple." But you know men generally conquer their conscience ; so I can say in a round-about kind of way that I have conquered mine. But I am deviating somewhat from my subject. I came here to day to console you, and it seems, from the means I am using, I shall fall short of the desired and. I am aware at this moment, when dis appointment alone weighs upon your minds, an appeal to your rea son is a poor alternative for sym pathy. I tell you, gentlemen, there is 6uch a host of you that my reason suggests that I advise you to re sort to the gentle love and sym pathy of your consorts in this the day of tribulation. Oh, the wis dom of Divine Providence! He knew there would be days in a man's life when despondency would almost drive him to despair, and so He made woman, the im personation of all that is tender, affectionate, lovely, sympathetic. Go to her, my dear friends, who is ever ready to strew your path with flowers, the fragrance of which shall reach the Bides on high. And, you, gentlemen, who have no wives m this your day of trial, where is your hope? I can oiler you noth ing, save remind you of the folly of having entered this campaign without one. Again, it should be a source of great consolation to you, when you think of the fearful responsibility resting upon the elect, to know that your fellow citizens have been so kind as to relieve you of such re sponsibility. Do you not know tha4; there will come divers diffi culties and temptations so as to almost deceive the elect thorn' selves? Why must I tell you of these things? Is not your observa tion sufficient for you? Finally, I wish to tell you before I close, that notwithstanding my short speech, I feel that some good has come to us all from this meet ing. I trust I may have the pleas ure of mtetiug you all again on this side ot the grave, when these hot tears that now scorch your troubled cheeks shall Lave been wiped away, and when you shall have been promoted by a grateful people aecording to your merits. It. is with unbounded confidence that I believe you will now return to your respective habitations and1 work for the good and prosperity of our people; always trusting in Providence with the greatest con fidence inasmuch as you have now realized that his words are true, "Many are called, but few are chosen." VAN STAR. [For the ADVERTISED Another Damnation Piece-Or Pm a Nigger. Presuming that a Reformer has the right to speak and to ask ques tions, we will ask, what moral, binding force there is in the farcical election held,- or pretended to be held in Edgefield county and all over the State on Saturday, Aug. 11th? It is safe to assume that not one half of those claiming to be Re formers voted, to say nothing of the good men belonging to the Conservatives. If not one-half, possibly not one-third bf the domi nant faction- voted on Saturday for those they propose to send to the Legislature, from whence" comes the power to whip the other half into tine ?ud compel them to sup port the ticket that was put out at Edgefield. on Monday? It comes from nowhere, in fact it does not exist and consequently those who did not vote on Saturday will vote for whomsoever they pleaae re gardless of the action taken at Edgefield; and the 28th day of August, A. D. 1894, will be a day of startling revelations. Mark it, Mr. Editor, that slato will be smashed into smitherens that day in so far as Edgefield county is con cerned. Too much power makes people mad. It made Csesar mad, it made Napoleon mad, it made Wolsey mad, it made Wade Hamp ton, glorious old Wade Hampton, mad, and there seems to be danger of the grand Reform party of our State going into a sert of dementia. Too much power and insatiable ambition coupled together will ruin any government,-State, or nation. Reformers, beware 1 Beware of the wrath to come ! ? A wrath that may be bottled up this time and corked down, but which is bilin', sizlin', and fizlin', and will sooner or later blow out the stopper, bust the bottle, and deal damnation round the land or I'm a nigger. REFORMER. Delicious Candy. A delicious and harmless candy for the children is ice cream, candy. This is flavored as it is pulled, and maybe cut into sticks or small pieces if preferred. Boil three cups of sugar, a quarter of a teaspoon ful of cream of tartar, and one half cup of water together, but do not stir the syrup at all while boil ing. Boil until a little dropped into cold water will become brittle. Turn on to a large well-buttered platter or a marble slab that has been oiled, aud as it cools fold the edges toward the centre.. As soon as it can be handled pull until it is white. OFFICE OF J. F. GREER, COUNTY JUDGE, GREEN COVE SPRINGS, CLAY CO., FLA., May 23rd, 1891. Gentlemen : Twenty-three years ago I was attacked with inflama tory rheumatism, I was attended by the most eminent physicians in the land. I visited the great Sara toga Springs, N. Y., and the noted Hot Springs, of Arkansas, and many other watering places, and always consulting with the local physician for directions; finally came to Florida ten years ago. About two years ago I had a se vere attack of rheumatism, was confined to my room for twelve weeks, and during the time I was induced to try P. P. P., [Prickly Ash, Poke Root, and Potassium,] knowing that each ingredient was good for impurities of the blood, after using two small bottles I was relieved; at four different times since I have.- had slight attacks and I have each time taken two small bottles of P. P. P. and been relieved, and I' consider it the best medicine of its kind. Respectfully, J. $\ GREER. Rheumatism Is emphatically a blood disorder caused by inability of the kidneys to throw off certain poisons which accumulate in the tissues about the joints and muscles. P. P. P., very simple, quickly and surely cures this disease neu tralizing impurities in the blood. Experience and science both en dorse P. P. P., as the only infalli ble blood p?riOer known Tillman's Ambition. Charleston Sun. Mr. M. F. Tighe, the historian of the Reform movement in South Carolina, has never produced his threatened volume on the subject. Perhaps it is just as well that he has not, for, apart from the fact that, as the secretary, amicus curiae and general brains carrier of one of the shiniug lights of the movement, he is scarcely in a po sition to treat the subject with the impartiality which befits history. The Reform movement is still un derway and one must "pierce the veil of the future with prophetic ken" to tell, where it will eventual ly bring up., '?.From the speeches of the two candidates for the United States Senate, now canvassing this State, this at leabt may be gathered, that great changes on the political chess board in the near future are pretty generally anticipated. ."The National Democratic party is-rent in twain and divided into two groups, diametrically opposed to each other on almost every ques tion which arises in Congress. The President is the leader of one group of legislators, the other and larger group is, as yet, without any recognized leader and torn to pieces by jealousies and distrust. In two of the Southern States, Georgia and Alabama, the Popu liste are in the field, conducting a vigorous and aggressive campaign, while the Democracy is divided and distracted by their differences on financial questions. The Pop ulists will probably fail in both States, but they are unquestiona bly gathering strength, and when they finally coalesce with that por tion of the Democracy which is opposed to Cleveland's policy. What then? Things seem to be slowly shap ing themselves towards a new sec tional alignment, as distinctlv marked as 5 line proved tc will-btj thai tl ray;the West' Nortlf'ahE F and vigorous front at Wt them, in all . pear within the year South Caroli na's political Titan. Let no man lay the flattering unction to his soul, that in the United States Senate, Ben Till man's personality will be effaced. On that great stage, for good or ill, he'll play a part. That it is his high vaulting am bition, to beat the Democratic and Populist parties into one powerful organization of the masses, united on one single issue, the solution of the financial question, is appa rent. The idea is not so frantic as it seems at the first glance. The fi nancial issue has acquired such dimensions in the last two years as to have dwarfed and almost ob scured the tariff issue. The two brainiest leaders of the Republi cans have recognized this fact and are already out offering induce ments for a junction between thc Populists and' Republicans on the monetary question. They have a long start. Will they succeed in so strengthening the Republican party, as to sweep the country this fall and place in power a Republican majority in the Kouse, together with a speaker pledged to free silver? If they can do this, Tillman's cake may be dough before he gets to the Senate. If they do not succeed, however, it is possible, not only that "the Peo ples party, as George William Cur tis prophesied, four years a<,ro ; but also the Democratic and Republi can parties will havo to reckon with Ben Tillman."' Quicksilver is to be displaced in our thermometers, it is said, by a dark blue substance derived from coal tar and called tulnol. This new agent is found to expend with great regularity when exposed to heat ; it also requires a lower tem perature to congeal it than is the case with mercury. A larger tube can also be used, which will make it possible to obtain a more exact register and to read the same at a greater distance.

Is not a department of trade and commerce as necessary as that of war or, of more recent creation, that of agriculture?
