eld Advertiser Til?S. J. ADAMS, . EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2, 1895. Bob Ingersoll will lecture in Cn lumbia at an early day. The State tax next year will be 4i mills. This is quite a reduc tiou. Swine and sorghum must be the battle cry in Edgefield for the year 1895. The State has long since paid the interest on its bouds, although not due until the 1st of January. The question is not if you eau afford to take the Edgefield AD. VERTISER, but if you can afford to do without it. The damage to the orange crop in Florida by the late freeze is es timated at two millions of dol lars. It is said the Liverpool cotton brokers are now offering to sell cotton for deli very after the 1S95 crop is made for 3 cents a pound. Darwin declared that insanity is not peculiar to human beings. He asserted that animals often become insane. Good tillage (viii usually produce \ a fair crop on a pretty poor soil, but 'unless th'.-re is plant food available the crop can not perfect itself. Taxes in Edgefield. County this year, 1895, will be about a mill and half lower than last year. This much is due to our members of the legislature. It is said that the fate of the substitute currency bill in the House depends on Republican yotes. If so we are already in the soup. Adjutant General Watts has de cided to reduce the number of Militia companies in South Caroli na from 207 to 100, three compa nies to be avowed to each county, on an avoraire. Gov. Evans says he intends to cut the force of constables in two, as the expence of enforcing the law takes up too much of the profits. He intends to retain the best men on the force, and then see that they do their duty. The New York World says : The joews that President Cleveland is ?57 condition" to dance ?r??md a ? Christmas tree is good news. By and by he ma}' feel strong enouh to dance a war-dance over the law-de fying trusts, the defaulting Pacific railroads, the blow-hole armor-plate contractors and other offenders who needstampiug on by the Presiden tial foot. Trial Justices. ?e^ following gentlemen have Luted Trial Justices iu [d County, aud were he Senate be Adjourned.

C., Doc. 22, '94. EDITOR ADVERTISER: Thinking that you and the people of Edge field would like to know what their representatives did her ; this ses sion, I have taken time lo joi down for you a few of the things they have done and enacted into \ law. t HOD. Thos. IT. Rainsford intro- t duced and secured the passage of a t bill reducing the salary of the State Dispenser from '^OOO to lp .$2.000 ; also in the same act the 11 salary of the Edgefield Dispenser and his clerk was reduced to $1, 000. Mr. Ptainsford is a woricert'd and aided very materially m ie ducing other saleries and large ap- g propriatious for the various col- c leges. . ti Hon. L. J. Williaa^.? a mern- e/ of^tbj^jyrn rait tee < -^"S^r?t?rtirf^ alections, aud the salar, reductiou r bill haviug been referred to his o committee he worked hard for a ij favorable report and from (h*3 n committee fought hard for it \\y the House. Mr. Williams did some t good work for highway legislation, p He i.s a determined and uucom- r promising fighter from start to g linish. He is the father of the s bill to abolish the South Carolina s Military Citadel Academy, v'hieh v\ ivas contiuued till next session. li Hon. J. H. Edwards secured the p passage of a bill through the ind enlargement of the common schools and against so much mon ly for the education of the classes in the colleges. His splendid ef fort in behalf of the full common 'chools in the country will result in much good in the near future. He has never missed a session of the Senate and is always to be found in his place. Mr. Watson has favored all reductions of sala ries and reduction of large appro priations of the peoples money. Hon. W. H. Timmerman, the uew Lieuieuaut Governor and President of the Senate, presides with much grace and dignity. The doctors genial disposition and 'Uucle Sam" resemblance capti vates everv one. The Senate Cham ber is a favorite resort for the la dies and I am sure they do not pD there to look at the members of the Senate for none is ever elected to the Senate until they get old and ugly Last but not least, is the Hon. rhomas Whittle, the door-keeperi 3f the Senate, by the appointment] if the Lieutenant Governor. Hi, hearty and indescribable laugh aid .esouuding stamp of the foot is is nusical'as ever. Hon. W. H. Yeldell, a forner nember from Edgefield, is her; in he engrossing department ard in he interest of the new Greenwood bounty bill. The bill wai laid iside until next session wleu it viii come up again. It isrjy ob lervation that the House if much nore radical in reduction >f pala ?es and cutting down appropria ions than the Senate. I am informed that *he State )ispensary shipped :hif\veek up o last night 1,769 cases, of whis ky which will averng" four and ?ne half gallons to each case. Of I his amount Edgefie.d. received 1er share. DAG NELL. CHE CONSTITUTIONAL CON VENTION. uSemptironicus* -Hits a Few Nails on thc Head and Drives Them Home. DEAR OLD ADVERTISER : A few noughts on 'fhe Constitu? ?ona! Convention might not be amiss at his time. I do not give my ophi on to stir up strife, but to try io lisabuse the/minds cf the people if several e/rors and fond expec ations tba' seem to have crept in brough th* public prints. The people have al last the long oveted, fong desjred, and long ?rayed fer opportunity ol' mending heir constitution. Confronted in bree Successive elections with breatsof negro ivterfprenc^, th?iv rill itnleed be wise if they forever ?ut such a contingency beyond he range of human possibility. \> Wit the negro vote out of the '"a^ps their first, and imperative r??y. Put the negro beyond the ewj of low, unscrupulous dema og'?es, or "White Niggers" as Un h George Tillman would call !?em, who, in the lust for the ?aoluments of office, so far for ''r*nmMlirar*"T *Trjrnpnrr' . ''.-?L ace, their families, and even their wn existence by truckling to an gnoraut, debauched, dissatisfied, lereenary negro suffrage. A weat howl is going up all over he land about setarAtag patriotic, ioor-white-man loving men to rep esent us in the convention, Dis ruutled reformers, extreme con ervatives raise their yelps to well the general chorus. Men 'ho fought the convention to the ist ditch are now prating abo??| atriotic, unselfish devojja ur old State adnquse fews com this wise : ley are wise and F??l honor the con Their presence, but the an will be hard to find." od there is no need for au I editor to speak thus, red hills abound in as en as they who formed ?ention of which Hamil Madison were the lumi Id over which Wash in g ed. No! old Edgefield, of heroes and states still find them ready to all. Perhaps Mr. Aull, mistake not used to live eld, painfully feels the etween his old and new Ie has our sympathy. ?wever, like a true Edge ade himself feH in the ie wherry County, and decidedly. So mueh by ressiou. lld send no man who convention before the man opposing it, if rill only be a clog, and (ery objects for which tion was called. All ged by the "outs" and I is balderdash ; il is the Iiau, but the voice ol' ?>ing to see how men will talk of patriot ten, being uuable to de on ven ti on otherwise, is to slip in as sheep .t they are ravening \.y intend thus to get once they find thein ilab qualified suffrage it white supremacy, i that most of those ie convention are an on account of tho iattaohed. This may (opie. The truth ol on the contrary, this as a subter ?tbei reasons which ventilate before ?aniple, I will .tain little dated at the por house, and'^ yet opposed to pending the same amount for sfengthening our fun df.mental la? and erecting bul warks and sfe-guards around (cur sacred librty! Patriotism and State love his ! All fhis,a!k about laying aside factional feeling and strife is au idle dreaa. The dominant party in the eui vent ion is going to leave its staun and impress upon the instrument which they draw up. Any change in the organic law of the St.re is goiug to accentuate partyfeeling, and factional lines will ie more sharply defined than ever. Each side will be afraid to riskthe other, and it will be the san? old story over.again. Iee every lover of a white man's iue ascertain whether a man is utreservedly, unqualifiedly, aud uicompromisingly in favor of qialified suffrage before he gets n's support for a seat in the con vention. This is the great, the vi tal issue. May their labors event uate in lasting good to our insti tutions, our laws, our people, and our grand old State. SEMPHRONICUS. Jo Brown, one of the Georgia Senators, used to be the beat shot with a squirrel rifle in the south. His father would give him twelve bullets and tell him to bring in twelve squirrels. "And mind ye," the old man would add. "let the holes be through their 'tarnal heads.'' Once Robert Tombs chal lenged Brown to fight a duel, a?^ besought the later to . weapons.
