Edarefield Advertiser THOS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOR & WEDNESDAY, NOV. 21,1894. It is alleged that Senator Butler is to receive an appointment from President Cleveland. According to the general consen sus of opinion Populism is dead in these United States. The Marion Star says: "Poor, puling Pope will now likely poke into political perdu for the rest of his existence. Bishop Keener, of New Orleans, is to preside over the annual Con ference of the M. E. Church, South, held at Laurens this week. The News and Courier dubs John -Gary Evans "The South Carolina Hayes," and all because he made a little hay while the sun shone. The Barnwell People says : "The English language needs free coin age of new and strong words to describe the utter rout of the na tional Democracy." The government of these United States has made itself ridiculous, in its efforts to keep up the gold reserve in the treasury by issuing and selling gold bonds. The Spartanburg Herald says it would be hard to find two men in public life mere alike than Ben Tillman and Grover Cleveland, and it doesn't like either one them. The guano companies have de termined to reduce their out-put next season from 40 to 60 percent. They believe the farmers are learn ing sense at last and have made up their minds to do without their miserable stuff. The Spartanburg Herald "has lost faith in Grover Cleveland." It is certainly high time, for Grover has lost to the Democracy every thing except South Carolina, and would have lost that if he could have controlled her. The cities of Columbia and Greenville voted for Republican Congressmen in the last election. ' They seem to prefer Republicans 1 to Tillmanites, and if it hadn't ' been for country people the Repub. 1 lican candidates would have been 1 elected. 1 One of the questions asked at ' the recent examination for teach ers in Anderson county was, "Write ' briefly of Gov. Tillman, Gov. Rich- f son, and so on." One of the an- < 8wers handed in was as follows : > ?"Gov. Tillman was elected Gov- < ernor of the United States for ] Ufa." In anticipation of Gov. Tillman's : appearance in the United States < Senate the New York Sun says : ! "What if he should try to pass a I dispensary law for the District of i Colnmbia? What if he should i 6eek to dry up the springs of alco- 1 hoi in the Senate restaurant?" : Senator Tillman will do as much < as any man to dry up the springs i of alcohol in the Senate restaurant, ' but it will be his example in not j drinking at the spring. The Columbia Register publish ed last week portraits of the new State House officers, and traced the ancestry and lineage of some of them away back behind Methu selah ; and yet we Reformers have been priding ourselves that our leaders had none of the effete and worn out old time folks blood in 'em, but were newly sprung from the loins of the people. It is said that it takes three generations to make a gentleman, but you can make a fool in two. One of the State constables in Greenville last week had just fin ished searching without success an establishment and was about to leave when he turned to a wafer faucet to wash his hands and to his surprise whiskey instead of water flowed from the faucet. The search was renewed, and it was found that the liquor was conceal ed in the top of the house and was connected with a pipe to the room below. A considerable quantity of whiskey was capiured. As a sort of last feather on the camel's back to the cotton grower they have got to making an artifi cial cotton now in France at a cost of less than 3 cents a pound. This new artificial cotton is made from the wood of the pine, spiUoe or larch, which is defibrated and then disintegrated and bleached .with a hot solution of bisulphate of soda and chloride of lime. The resulting pure cellulose is treated ?with chloride of zinc, castor oil ?and gelatine, and the paste is pass ed through a perforated plate. This gives a thread, which is after wards woven into a strong and very presentable fabric. PROCEEDINGS OF COURT, Court is still in session with the following cases disposed of: Tom Johnson, indicted for mur der. Guilty. Motion made for new trial. Samuel Shealy, murder; not guilty.

CHANGE OF CURRENCY SYS TEM. It is said that President Cleve land, recognizing and tacitly ad mitting how deeply he has plunged ;he country in the mire of noney stringency, is at work on a lew currency system. The follow ug from the Associate Press dis - . .i-c Snfn^n^ i . . vhole status : "Secretary Carlisle,' in trying to igure out how the gold reserve is ;o be maintained by bond issues, jannot fail to appreciate the con fusion of the schoolboy who cover ?d several slates in working on the problem how long before a cat in grell will reach t he surface if she crawls up six feet each day and | > falls back ten feet each night. Not withstanding assurances by the banks and trust companies that] they will surrender their gold hold ings for bonds and not make de mands on the treasury for the yel- i low metal, there is a strong feeling] in the treasury that the reserve will not escape a heavy drain. The call for the new loan was issued on Ti-p.day and already $500,000 in ?old has been withdrawn in New York and Boston by tendering treasury and United States notes. The treasury is keeping a close tab on all withdrawals in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Some interesting figures showing the treasury's experience in trying to maintain the reserve under the present currency system, have Leen prepared at the treasury. Between October, 1891, and September, 1894, the government redeemed in gold, $213,294,297 of treasury hotes and greenbacks. Under the law these notes, although redeemed in gold, were reissued. During the same period $248,260,429 in gold was shipped abroad. Nearly $500,000, 000 was withdrawn in three years' time, or nearly five times the amount of the reserve. With this| experience, it is easy to understand the feeling at the treasury that] bond issues offer no security se curity. All these figures are before the | President and Secretary Carlisle, and they will be found in Mr. Cleveland's message to Congress. The President's investigation has convinced him that the present currency system must be changed, and there is no longer any doubt that recommendations along th's line will be made the chief feature of his communication to Congress. There are now in circulation nine kinds of currency, all except two being dependent directly or in directly upon the credit of the United Stales. One statute re quires the secretary of the treasury to redeem the old legal tender notes in coin on presentation and to re issue them, so that, no matter how often chey are redeemed, they are never actually extinguished. The gold exports for October amounted to $1,080,889, and im ports $1,675,371, as against exports! of $511,018 and imports of $1,583, 937 for October, 1893. For ten months of 1S94 the gold exports were $91,602,714, and imports $18, 598,371, as against exports of $76, 789,732 and imporLs of $67,544,569 for the first ten months of 1893." Congress meets on the firet Mon day in December. This is the short session, lasting until March next; and it is freely predicted that this short session will accomplish more iban the same body has in the past two years, because it is the last chance; it must put up or shut up. "Prosperity doth best discover vice; adversity doth best discover virtue," so said Sir Francis Bacon. The times now are certainly pro pitious and auspicious for this latter discovery in great measure. HOME-BAKED COFFEE. A Great Thins: for the Farmers. Marion Farmer. Mr. P. H. Martin, of Madden, Laurens Co., S. C., is the agent for | the seed of a little plant which promises to save our farmers mil lions of dollars. It produces a j berry, that is very similar in all respects to coffee and can be easily raised in this climate. The Farmer has received a sample f?om Mr. Martin, and it bas the same aromatic odor, and produces as delicious a beverage as the im ported article. The seed is put up in 25 and 30 cents packages, and each seed produces a plant from which a pint to a quart of coffee is gathered. It can be planted until June 20th. and matures in four months. Over 60 bushels have been produced from a single acre, and it can be raised for less than ii cent per pound. The 50 cent pack ages will plant 200 hills. By plant ing early two crops can be raised.
