Edenfield Advertiser THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20, 1895. Clemson College opens again ou Friday the 22nd, Washington's Birthday' So far as we know Hampton is the only county that has adopted the contract system of working the roads. The cotton crop ia sight amounts ro about 8,000,000 bales, or about 2,000,000 more than it did this time last season. Senator Hanley, of Conn., says that "the ten commandments could not pass the United States Senate now." Which statement, we may remark, friends are echoing res ponse in all the heans of all the people. The nev/ county government law, as we understand it, allows a com mutation' tax of two dollars in lieu of working the roads, if paid by March 1st. After that date it becomes three dollars. All these malters should be understood by the people, and we have no doubt fiat Supervisor Whittle will pub lish a synopsis of the law before long. The Administration at Wash ington sold'last waek to a syndi cate of brokera $62.000,000 of four per cent bonds at 104 when the seme class of bonds, four per cent, are selling in other markets at 110. If this thing had been done by pri vate parties an investigation would have been in order. Has ev erybody got to stealing in this Christian land of ours? The following crop made with four mules is given as a model for some farmers to work up to. It was mado by Mr. Samuel Fried heim, of Rock Hill. On TS acres in cotton he made 82 bales, aver aging -1G0 pounds. He also made GOO bushels of corn, SCO bushels of oats, 32 bushels of wheat. 25 bushels of rye, 50 bushels of peas, 100 bushels of sweet potatoes and 2,000 pounds of pork. Mr. Fried heimsays: "Farming is like any other business, if managed proper ly it. will pay. The cotton factories will go South in obedience to natural laws. ?The change har. been inev itable since the abolition cf sla very, the advent of free- labor at Jhe South, the creation there of a commercial and industrial spirit and the building of adequate lines of transportation. The mills are being transplanted, as one of their managers says, because their sta ple is grown there and because la bor and fuel are cheaper, taxes lower and the climate conditions more favorable.-New York World. Dr. Sampson Pope's petition in Congress has bern referred by res olution of the United States Sen ate to Senators Butler and Irby as to what shall be done with it. Peop'e who know say that Senator Butlerjwill rote "aye," and Sena ^^to?rlrby "no," producing a dead lock which will last through all eternity, or at least as long as these senators remain on this mundane sphere. It is tho first smart thing the United States Senate have done since they've ' been there. They have played many a sharp trick on the people, but this is the first sharp trick they have played on members of their own body. If they had ad ded to the resolution of reference that the afoiesaid Senators should be fed on bread and water till they agreed then we at home here could have a little peace and fun. Winter Chautauqua. A Nacional AVinter Chautauqua Assembly has been organized by some of tho most distinguished educators of the North, and Au gusta, Georgia, chosen for the lo cation of the Assembly. As the summer Chautauqua was the out growth of summer resorts ana the necessity of correcting the idle ness enforced thereat, so the win ter resort side of life, developed lo such an enormous extent at the South, demands assembly facili ties. Many prominent people of all sections are interested in it and it-will doubtless attain the success and celebrity of the Northern . Chautauqua. Augusta has been chosen as thc location of the Southern Assembly through the instrumentality and effort of Hugh C. Middleton, an Edgefield % Doy. In token of the appreciation in which Mr. Middleton is held in Augusta we give the following from the Augusta Chronicle: We want at this time, in behalf of the people of Augusta, to ex press tho appreciation that is felt in the community of the daun' less, tireless and intelligent f?'orts of Mr; Hugh C. Middleton in be half of Augusta, and to congratu late him upon the progress, al ready made wifh the National Chautauqua. "When it shall have become an established fact in thia community, we shall take it upon ourselves to see that, at the dedi cation exercises, there shall be fit ting and substantial recognition of Mr. Middle:on's services in thig great work. Cotton Acreage in 1895. "The question of acreage to be put iuto cotton this year is oue thal is now receiving a good deal ol a'tteiition, and accompanying it the suicidal theory is being ad vanced that, owing to the prevail ing low prices, the amount of cot ton planted will be greater than heretofore in order to make up ir quantity what is lost in price. .It is of course impossible tc arrive at any accurat3 average cos) of producing cotton in view of the widely differing conditions prevail ing in different parts of the South nevertheless it is hardly to be dis puted, that the cost in the Atlantic States is over 6 cents per pound and in Texas, Arkansas, and the Mississippi bottom lands, probably not less than 41 cents, or, an average of probably not less than 5i to 5-j cents at thc plantations for the whole country. With the quotation forjjMiddling in Liverpool 2-334d or roughly converted into Americau money 5-15-16 cents, in New Yorl* for immediate delivery 5? cents, ?L New Orleans 5 cents, and in thc interior towns from 4\ to 4$ cents it seems almost grotesque tba! arguments should be put forth that the South can afford to raise cotton at the present prices Doubtless the theory that one'f neighbor will plant less may lead some to conclude that by putting in more they will reap the advan tage of their neignbor's contribu tion to the public good, but thal any such policy should actuate any grower of the great staple, under present circumstances, seems hardly capable of belief It is with great satisfaction 11 be obseved that the President o? the American Colton GrowerF ?ssocition is making a tour of the Cotton States with a view of secur ing a reduction in acrage of at least 2?c/r, which is a movement in the right direction, and it is to be hop ed that his efforts will be crown ed wi!h success. If, however, a large reduction in acreage is to be made, the quest ion arises, into what shall the farmers of the South put their land, and out of what are they to derive a livlihood? Some of those wbo still retain the feeling of responsibility to those whom they employ, and who are dependant upon them, are apt to indulge the idea that wo'rk must be provided for the depen dant das?, and as there is nothing else they can do but grow cotton, therefore they must plant ali they can, irrespective of the price it brings. . . If the figures given as to the probable cost of raising cotton are correct, and which, even under the most favorable circumstances of growth show no profit,) while, un der less fortunate circumstances, show a positive loss, it would seem the part of prudence and good judgment if the whole cotton grow ing community should, with one accord, reduce their acreage, not 25% but 75%, thereby joining in an action to their best interest and so reducing the supplies of the world that 10 to ll cents per pound in New York, for four or five years to come, would be assured. By so doing, the single season of fallow land, if need be, would be abun dantly recompensed in the price for cotton to be subsequently ob tained. The South can well afford to do this, even at the loss that might be entailed by the support, without labor, of those who are dependant upon them if such an alternative were necessary, as the loss entailed thereby would cer tainly be no greater than that re sulting from making cotton and selling it at the "prices ruling in the world at the present day. The necessity for this severe contribu tion to the enhancement of the price of cotton in the future is not, however, altogether apparent; for, while it is true that cotton is the great crop of the South, neverthe less, when prices have reached a level such as the present, the adop tion of a policy of practically growing only such crops as are necessary to sustain life is certain ly a reasonable one and the doing of which does not necessarily argue that efforts in this direction must be confined to corn and meut. There are many other articles which contribute to support life that might be grown with a net re turn to the planter at the end of the year fully equal to the loss en tailed by the support of those de pendent upon him. It is to be hoped that this view of the castv may be impressed upon the agri cultural oommunity of the South, and that the preparations for the next crop will be on a very largely reduced scale as compared with that made within the past few years; for, unless something ap pro-idling to this in its radical na ture is done, there is no reason to expect that even present* rrices will lie maintained. Airead)', Liv erpool, which market after all is the maker of prices fer cotton, be ing the largest consumer, is sell ing next crop deliveries at 3-3d, or 6-16 cents which means not more than 4k cents nt thn planta tions and which price is justified and will continue, with possibly even still lower prices, unless the outlook for future supplies gives promise of a very marked reduc tion. Nor is the making of this price the work of gamblers and therefore of public execration. If we are to have another ten million bale crop, 3-33 2^]. in Liverpool for October-November delivery is not unreasonable. It is b< cause of a growing feeling that cotton can be made and sold at 5 cents yield ing a profit and that the South will plant as much or more this year than last, that such prices are made iu Liverpool. The remedy for the South is within its own keeping let them plant but 25% as much cotton as? last year, planting the other 75% ju such thiugs as they may, even to allowing the land to lie fallow, and their own salvation is at hand." CORRESPONDENCE Death of Dr. J. B. DuBose-And the People Mourn. A cloudier sky. and a bright j sun hangs in the heavens this, | noon, 17th of February, although the earth is thickly covered with snow, and sorrow reigns in many households. The sad news ot' Dr. J. B. DuBose's death in Baltimore was received at Ridge Sring on Saturday a.m. Tho "Iron entered his soul" when his son, Dr. St. Pierre DuBose, who was the daily companion and friend as well as the devoted son the prop of his declining years, was in God's mys terious providence taken from him. Dr. DuBese has never rallied from this blow and had by advice of friends gone to Baltimore for treatment. He .died after being there only three days; his son-in law Rev. R. W. Barnwell left on Saturday to bring on the remains, and his grinf stricken family are now awaiting the home coming of | the body of their tender, loving, aud well beloved father. Most of] the Ridge community mourns the | loss of the faithful physician, Joy ed friend, good citizen, hightoned and courteous gentleman gone forever from their midst. L. S.B. Ridge, S.

Alse, if that fund is deposited in the Far mers bank to purchase school checks at 90 cents on the dolla)-? Also, if the bank divides the coin with the school hoard. The former commissioner used some of that fund to p;.y dissatis fied district, or in other words, to use for a corruption fund. Kow des this fund accumulate? Will the present commissioner please publish for several proceeding years the amount appropriated to Edgefield County by the state board? and, elsa the amount the commissioner appropriates to the districts? We shall not only call the attention of the grand jury to this matter but we shall have a good deal to say in the papers un less a satisfactory answer is given followed by a distribution of this money to the children of the coun ty. PEDAGOGUE. Some Good Advice Given hy a Close Observer ol* Men and Things. EDITOR ADVERTISER: I com mend our Supervisor for deciding to work the public highwaj's un der the old law. I think his deci sion is favored by a large majori ty of the people, The old law is sufficient to keep the roads in good condition. All that is lacking is good overseers, aud they can be easily remedied by the Supervisor having all of them fined who do not obey orders and come to time. If that was done they would then begin to dance to the tune played aud have the roads worked right It is a disgrace to the State and counties that enough men can't be had for overseers who will do their duty and have the public roads well worked. Wake up men of Carolina, turn over a new leaf and begin to do better and get out of the slothful way you have been doing business. Nine-tenths of the people are more able to do the work than pay the compound, the law requires in lieu of work. It is true hands that are liable to road duty can work out their time un der the new Jaw, but here UK trouble comes in. If a contractor was to call on them any time from first of April to latter part of July they could not possibly leave the farm to do the work required of them on public roads. Under the old law overseers can warn out the hands and have the roads worked before busy time in the early part of the year, and then again in Au gust and fall of the year, and in terfere very little with their farm work. This is one advantage the old law has over the new law, in regard to working out time on the road. The county is too poor to pay road tax, aud a levy ought not to be made. Taxes are already too high, they oppress the people. Rigid economy is what iva need and all salaries ought to be reduc ed, and Int office holders share, in part, the hard times with the masses of the people. TOO MANY COLLEGES.' There are too many coll'-g^s for the people to support these hard times, as their financial abilities are weak, but we need more com mon schools in reach of the peo ple in tho place of so many col leges, that are not much benefit to the poor classes. I think tho Slate is over-doing the thing m the way of colleges, considering its fi nances, and it is high time to call a halt in that direction. I am not opposed'tocolleges, provided the State was abb? to support them, but do not believe in the Stale be ing oppressed by taxation foi col leges that only benefit a few who are able to al lend them and nine tenths derive no benefit at all be cause they are too poor lo enter, but never-the-less they are taxed to support them. I favor a further reduct iou of salaries, and every thing else possible, to curtail the expenses of State and conn ry and run them hythe closest economy j and any member at the next nieet ingrof Ihn Legislature who dops not. work for the above suggestion onght never to be sent back again, but let him retire to private life and rest from his labors. THE SMALL GRAIN CKOP. The oat crop is nearly all de stroyed by thc cold wave," it is im possible for any oats of conse quence to be made this year, which will make times very hard-on poor farmers. I don't see how they are to live if they do not raise their meat and bread at home. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR. It is an impossibility for farm ers to raise c.-tton at present prices and buy meat corn and flour. Eve rything that farmers use they ought to make at home. If this was done thev would not need so much money to live on,, less cot ton would then be made, and much better prices realized for what was made. The farmer would then be gin to prosper and make some money, and if he would work steady six days in the week, in stead of four as he now generally works, he would make more mon ey still. A great many men do not make any manure of consequence at home during the fall and win ter and what is dropped about their lois let that waste and wash away, and not do much work of any sort, and then iu the spring of of the year go and buy guano. I do not wonder at such farmers being in bad financial circumstances and cannot pay their debts. . MERCHANTS IN THE SOUP. Most of the merchants are near ly run down, aud not able to help the farmers, if they were 60 dis posed, and in most cases through out tlie country the farmers are to blame for it, by buying tia much and working too little. Now who will they look to for help? The farmers have loaded the merchant down with worthless paper, and cursed him because they did not get along belter n the world, while Ibu farmer himself was to blame. Tho banks in country towns are loaded with un negotia ble pap-r they can't collect, and where is relief for farmers lo come from? LOOKER ON. Eiigf'fielri, Feb. 16, '95. Thc Georgia Scenes, A Book Ev ery Edgefield Eoy Should Kcad.-"Semplironiciw" Delighted Witto Its Quaint and Queer . Olia Podrida. Will the reader pardon a few thoughts (jut of the usual order of newspaper correspondence? There is no pleasanter task tbaii delving 1 in I he past and rummaging out bi13 of reminiscence; especially, 1 when it deals with scenes"and ac- '? tors in whom we have a living in terest. ?' Such a collection of reminis cences is the Georgia Scenes. ' While not purporting to be a his tory, it is in fact a history in the truest sense of that word. It is'as truly a hisiory of middle Ge?i-gvaT as the ''Spectator" of Addison aird Steele isa history of London life in the reigns of Anne and George I. I will suggest a few thoughts on this quaint old book. Middle Georgia is perhaps the most noted sect ion in thu South. Dear to every Southern heart, must be the home of that match less orator Robert Toombs; of Alec Stephens, the brilliancy of whose intellect, vastness of learn ing, and keennessr.nd soundne.^sof logic, made him the terror of ene mies and the idol of friends; of the seraphic Bishop Pierce and the immortal Grady. There is a pe culiar interest attached to the region itself, considering its wide spread notoriet}'. "The Georgia Scenes" is a col lection of sketches showing tbe manners, customs, and character of the people of Middle Georgia, written by Judge A. B. Longstreet, himself a man of wide attain ments, who had been brought up among just such characters as he portrayed. Hence the scenes are picturesque and life-like, being set forth with the minuteness and vividness that can come only from an eye-wifeness. Longstreet was one of the most gifted men that the South can lay claim to. Jurist, diviue, college president, and man of letters, hu won renown enough in any one of these callings to satisfy the ambi tion of a less industrious man. He was also a man of the keenest sense of humor and a profound student of human nature. Each scene is claimed to have been witnessed by one of two his toric characters, Dr. Lyman Hall, one of the signers of tbe Declara tion of Independence, or Abraham Baldwin one of the framers of the ? constitution. In general, Baldwiu depicts the frivolities, petty rival ries of men and especially women in the higher circles. Dr. Hall on ! I he contrary relates the foibles, gnarled prejudices, robust exer cise.?, r.nd hardy games of the com mon people. Society and its small talk was Baldwin's delight; men and sylvan sports were Hall's forte. Of course the whole Illing was Longstreet's own work, but there seems to have been :i dis! inc ti.m that he okserved in using these tinnies. These skelohes are speciul'y iitler^sliiig tu Smith Car olinians from the fact that the jiu thor was for awhile the president of the old South Carolina College -a position the most diguified and influential in the State at that time.. And furthermore, the book attained wide popularity in ante bellini) days among our people: many of its expressions and names passing into our political par lance. 1 will no;iee only iwo scenes out of a great number equally inter esting. The first is styled the "el bating society." This givesns a picture of the debating society j in the famous Academy of Dr. Waddel, where some of our mosti famous r?en were educated. The two leading debaters of HUP socie ty were the author of tba scene and the groat orator McDuf?ie-\ theil two school-boys: Mci)?Hiv i:> cul] McDonnell, and Longstreet ha? liiis to suv of him : "He was r. mau of the high*Pl ordur cf intel lect," who, though he bas since bo-j como known throughout the union as one of ihe ablest speakers of j the. country,'seems to me to have added utile to his powers of de bute since his twenty-second year/' Th? author and McDuffie wishing to puzzle the oth^r members, com posed this subject of debate; " Whether at public elections suould tho vote of factions predom inate by internal euggesiionb or the bias of jurisprudence." This isa jargon of words, utterly devoid of meaning, yet seeming to present a subject for discussion. The scene is filled with attempts of members to make something out of this subject and their failure, together with the very meaning less speeches of the two who got the query up, and ends up the . ludicrous affair by the president throwing up a knife to make a de- . cisi?n. But the crowning glory of the , whole book is Rancy Sniffle. His name alone sheds a halo of im- I mortality around these queer, dc- 1 lightful scenes. The master's hand j is everywhpre seen throughout this ? capital delineation of the meddler, news-tattler, and fun-maker. Shakespeare has re-produced the 1 typical money-shark in the person of Shylock, and the typical brag gart in Jack Falt6afT; Dickens has given us the personification of hypocrisy in Pecksniff, but neither bas represented the "busybody" { so accurately and with eucbjbumor as Longstreet does in Rancy. ] The circumstance se-ving as a \ hack-ground lo this figure is a fight. Every event of this inter resting scene is sketched with a - master hand. . Rancy wus a thin ciayearing ' fellow "from the red gullies of Richmond," who throve only in i blackberry time, and whose great- I est delight was to keep all thc r mischief iu the seulement from r stagnating. When lie found mil v lhere was bad blood between two t neighbors, he was in a fever of ex- { ci temen t until he brought things j to a crisis. Billy and "Bob the two bullies of a criaio district were brought together iu a light-by his . instrumentality. The greater par! of the scene is a description of the fight that ensued, in which Bob licked Billy. lainey Sniffle be-i came a name for busybodies of all j kind after the publication of th s book. If space permitted. I might dis cuss the cha meter? of Ned Brae, George Baldwin's ?wife, and many others scattered throughout these rambling scenes. This is a book that should not perish in the dusts of time; for it embalmed and transmitted a knowledge of the customs,- habits, and nfodes of thought of the fathers of a genera tion of orators, jurists, men of letters, statesmen, and warriors.
