A writer claims that a thin coat of axle grease applied to the apple trees in the late fall, with a stiff bruen, will keep off mice and rab bits. Mr. John C.

Th ie infor mation is given so that P^rsoni acting -in these capaciti58 ma) know what steps are ni ce 88ary tc obtain a discharge. / SECTION 41. It shall nc/1 be law" ful for 9-J Ct*4-& of probate i? this r?tate to grant a fanai die-charge auy executor, administrator trustee, guardian or committee, un less such executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or committee shall have finally accounted for the estate in his hands, and have given notice in a newspaper of the county for the space of at least one month, that on a day certain application will be msde to the said Judge of Probate for a final discharge. No such discharge shall affect any distributee, legatee, cestui que trust, ward or lunatic, who has not been made a party to such application, either by person al service or by publication in the mode provided for absent defen dants. A Suggestion. Supervisor M. A. Whittle will take charge of Edgefield county affairs, undi-r the new county gov ernment law, about the first of January, 1895, and he could not signalize his administration in the outset in a better way than by re taining Capt. A.-G. Williams as keeper of the County Poor House. It has been in the past, scarcely a reputable thing, in the eyes of the world, to keep a poor house, but this Christian gentleman has made it an eminently respectable and honorable calling by the manner in which he has administered its affairs and discharged his duties. He has cared for those under him in this elemosynary institution as a father would his own children, and at a less expense to the couuty than any previous incumbent, so far as we can gather from the records. Such a combination-a high conception of duty and the will and ability to do it-is not often met with in one and the same person, and Bhould be recognized aud appreciated. If Supervisor Whittla knows of a better man for keeper of the Poor House let him be appointed, but it will not be wise for the county, or good policy on his part, to make any experi ments in this line. We say this much alone iu the interest of a good administration of the county alms house. Capt. Williams is uo patron, frjend? or retainer of this paper, I To Keep Meat. The following is submitted as J good way to save meat and keep it from the flies: After laying in salt five or six weeks, take it out an rub it thoroughly with asafotida ailanthus, or heaven tree leaves dog-fennel, and kerosene oil. By so doing you will never be bothered with flies or skippers, and they say that even a darky will not trouble meat so treated. An Old Landmark. Mr. Luke Culbreath, died at hil I home near Pleasant Lane on Tues day evening, Dec. 11th, aged eigh ty-seven years. Mr. Culbreath was the father of Mrs. Dr. Prescott, of our town, Mrs. Thos. Hammond of Savannah River side, of Mrs King, of Ninety-Six, of Mrs. R. P Holloway, of Kirkseys, of Mrs Annie Timmerman, of Pleasant Lane, and of Mrs. Lucretia Grice of Johnston. The deceased, during his long life, had filled many offices of trust in Edgefield county ; he was twice b. member of the Leg islature and chairman of the dele gation. He waB honest, sincere, truthful in all things. In business matters his word was his bond a\d he was as upright as a Roman judge of those days "when to be a Roman was greater than a king." His family, in his name alone, have a legacy beyond all price. Santa Claus has arrived and is at Will Penn's as usual. Resolutions of the Woman's Mis* sionary Society of the Edfje 1 ie ld Baptist Church ia Memory of Miss Mamie Addison. WHEREAS, in the death of Miss Mamie Addison, Treasurer of the Mission Society of the Edgefield village Baptist Church, this so ciety has lost a most efficient officer, an (lamest and cheerful worker in the cause of missions, constant in every good word and work, and a friend we shall not cease to re member.

Do not forset to rem einher Penn's for Christinas. [For the ADVERTISER. Now and Then. MR. EDITOR: Every winter, ap plications are made to our Legis lature to form new counties out of existing ones, some of which ap pear to have sound reason in them for the proposed change. Now, several of our counties are too large, but how to accomplish the division without damage to other sections is the question. Our own county, Edgefield, is quite large, but since the formation of Aiken county it seems almost an impossi bility to arrange another without injuring the remaining part. Greenwood and Saluda are knock ing at the door, both demanding ad mission without much prospect of success. We all know that the southeast portion of our county is a long way from the court-house, in one place forty-five miles or more, and if they could get the co operation of a portion of Lexing ton county they might succeed in establishing a uew county, but the trouble is that the Saluda people are not united in the matter, some advocating the Greenwood plan, ^hers the Saluda plan. Now, the writer of this has no choice. Living within 8ix miles of Edgefield he is conteLt to let things remain as they are, >.et he cannot but sym pathize with ?hose living farther off, and would respectfully advise a general understanding anduuion of sentiment among the ?Saluda people if they wish for success] Greenwood is a flourishing pla^e, anda new county up there, seems at first sight to be all right, but would it not interfere with Saluda and possibly other intereste? Rest assured there is no chance for either count}' unless the advocates of the two come to some better un derstanding in the matter. Now, as to the deplorable condi tion of the farmers, what can be done for them? For the man out of debt the solution is easy, but for the one in debt it is bard to find. Let us ail plant extensively of provisions, and only moderately of cotton. With the staff of life, meat, potatoes, poultry, and stock in abundance we could afford to give away our cotton at A\ and 5 cents per pound. Habit is second nature, and is Lard to overcome. Having been for years in the old rut, few, I fear, will striye to get out. Some are silly enough to say that the lower the price, the more cotton they will have to plant to enable them to have any cash at all. If this plan is carried out they will be entitled to the name of cottontots, and will remain hewers of wood and draw ers of water for th3 balance of time. I am glad to see that Mr. Thur mond ha3 proposed to extend the time for the payment of taxes un til March 10th, 1895, it will help thousands of deserving men and women in our midst, and is right. History repeats itself. Cotton brought a low price in the forties, but then people had provisions at home and could afford to sell at 4 or 5 cents*; now, unfortunately, cotton ac 8 and 10 cents would not more than place us Rven with those good old days, so we are encouraged to praise the olden days. Let us not sneer at old things, but re member the good out numbered the evil in many respects. ANCIENT REGIME. [For the ADVERTISER. Old, But Soul Stirring. The following beautiful poem ?vas written by one of Maryland's ?xiled sons during the reign of terror in his native State, and ivhile the Legislature was prevent ed from assembling and the privi eges of the writ of habeas corpus vere suspended, and many of his jioet distinguished and patriotic iounirymen were languishing in prison-all tnrough the usurped mthority of the Federal powers, these stanzas were set to music ; md the tender voices of maidens anited with the full tones of hardy varriors to give increased effect to ;he soul-inspiring choruF.
