Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MAR. 13, 1895. LOCAL? BREVITIES. Easter falls this year on the 14th of April. Mrs. F. J. Andrews is visiting her sister Mrs. Ida Sheppard. How much stock have you taken in the cotton factory? ? Are you. reader, a Tillrnanite or an Irbyi?e or a Forty i te or a Rhamseutah. Rev. P. P. Blalock will preach in our Baptist church next Sunday morning. Mr. Alvin Hart will leave for New York one day next week to make his usual spring and summer purchaces. Captain George Lake drank four teen cups of coffee at onesittingat the free coffee mans cafe one day last week. Uncle Randall says that if this de lightful weather should continue a few days longer he will get "on thawed." You can ride away from the blues and leave dull care behind if you own a buggy. If you don't, let Ramsey & Bland sell you one. Mr. G. P. Cobb of Johnston has opened an undertakers establishment at that place. His business card ap pears in another column. Thick ice on Saturday, and big frost on Sunday last. It does look as if sping will never know when we have enough of winter. Snap beans producing frequently twelve inch pods, for sale at 10 and locts per package. Address Box- 37 Brevard, N. C. Stamps taken. It is not policy to ask us to discon tinue our paper while you are in ar rears, still there ?san occasional note like this that finds its way to our desk. Married, at the home of the bride's mother, in McCormick, by Rev. G. WT. Bussey, March 5th, Mr. Link Elam, of Georgia and Miss Gussie Maynard, of McCormick. Our Supervisor of Kegistration, Mart Gary Caughman is one of the most accurate, careful, particular, cau tious, and painstaking Supervisors Edgefield County ba3 ever had. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Wister DcDowell. EdgefieJd Co. S. C. February 2S, 1S95, by Rev. J. L. Ouzts, Mr. John L. Ouzts and Miss .Fannie C. McDowell. If the rains continue much longer our farmers cannot plant big cotton crops even if they should so desire. lt must be corn. Here it is the middle of March and very little land touched with a plow in all Edgefield County. Married, at the residence of the bride's father. Mr. James Vines on the 7th of March, 1895, by H. G. Crouch, Esq., Mr. John Davis of Ninety-Six to Miss Lela Vines of Big Creek, S C. ".Now that weTvethawed out, let us rejoice that we are still here, although somewhat nipped. Let us also observe, as one of 1 he consequences of the late period of phenomenal cold, that prices at Ramsey & Eland's have not shared in the general rise, but as here tofore, remain below zero. During the session of the 'ourt last week a committee of three, appointed by the grand jury, went out to inspect the poor house and were so much pleased that they wanted to stay there, to r?ve and die there. Capt. Williams gave them much pie and chicken fixings. Miss Lou Gary leaves our town to day, Tuesday for Columbia, where she goes to take charge of the Governor's Mansion. Miss Lou is an aunt of Gov. Evans, and she will be greatly missed in Edgefield, especially in the church and church work, of which she is a bright ornament and exemplar. Five hundred hands and one hun dred mules were put to work on the Brevard and Henderson ville X.C. road on last Tuesday. When this road is fin ished Edgefield people can get on our Cumberland Gap road and in seven hours be on the French Broad, that river known to romance and song since 1700. This is the only river in America that runs up hill. We pre dict that after this road is completed many of our citizens will seek a sum mer refuge m this delightful valley. Mr. M. A. Taylor has lost his posi tion as depot agent, much to the re gret of our citizens, who are getting up a petition for his reinstatement. If the railroad company has any heart or any head this petition so unani mous on the part of our citizens will be immediately granted. Mr. Taylor's efficient and courteous discharge of duty during the years he has been lo cated in Edgefield maire us loath to give him up. Rev. L. R. Gwaltney preached on last Sunday to a large congregation composed of the different denomina-: tions in town, assembled in the Bap-| tist church. His text was, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ." The subject of this discourse was "Self Denial," and was one of the most eloquent sermons preached from that pulpit. Dr. Gwaltney urged upou the^Baptists ol his congregation to spend this week in self denial, giving the fruits of the sacrifice to the vari ous mission boards of the Baptist de nomination. This is the season for drinking sas safras tea. In the olden days scarcely a family in Edgefield county passed the spring time without indulging more or less in this beverage. Indeed it was considered a panacea for many of the ills that come with the first warm days. Wheo Sir Walter Raleigh first came to this country and wrote back to Quepn Elizabeth a descrip tion of the region he had found and its many desirable fruits and Howers and herbs he mentioned "great quan tities of Sassafras." She afterwards bad him imprisoned in the Tower, and later on he was beheaded but we are not sure that it was on account of the sassafras. Senator Butler has been invited to ] address the Confederate veterans of ] Xe wherry county nt their annual t meeting1 in July. Supervisor Whittle is considering the advisability of covering the bridge at Cbappells. This is an expensive structure and ought to oe protected. Dr. L. R. Gwaltney invited the young people of the Baptist congre- ? gation to meet together on Sunday af- \ ternoou last in the Baptist church, for the purpose of organizing a society t for special religious training and cul- 1 * ure and also to do benevolent work. ] All the young people of this church C are cordially invited on every first J and third Sunday.

Some weeks ago a correspondent of y the ADVERTISER over the signature . "Pedagogue" called attention to the fact that quite a large school fund had accumulated by some hook or crook j and was lying idle in one of the Edge- v field banks not even drawing inter est. This article was called to the attentiou of the Grand Jury at the present term of court, andan investi gation by that body followed which disclosed the fact that there is in the Farmers Bank to the credit of the school fund cf Edgefield County the snug little sum of $6853.21. As no one seemed to have or cared to exercise the authority ?-o pay out this fund, at the suggestion of the Grand Jury, A. S. S. Tompkins, Esq., brought an action \ in the nature of Mandamus directed c to School Commissioner Lott and rc- g quiring him to show cause before \ Judge Earle on Monday of this weak, \ why said lund should not be distrib uted. Upon the bearing Judge Earle ordered the School Commissioner to apportion the whole amount arnon? the different schools of the County, the trustees of the different schools to use their separate quotas in carrying on schools between April 1st and August 1st of the current year. Death of Mr. William Q naries. Mr. William Quarles of the Frank lin section of this county died at his j home on Tuesday night, the 5th inst. His death was a sudden one. He had been plowing all day, came home about dark and eat a hearty supper. A lew minutes thereafter he complained to j his wife of feeling badly. These were his last words and almost immediate- j ly after speaking them he fell into bis wife's arms dead. Heart failure is what the physicians pronounce the ma'ady. Deceased was about sixty-two years of age and leaves a wife and five grown sons to mourn their loss. William Quarles made an excellent) soldier during the late war, was an upright citizen, a tender father and husband, a kind neighbor, and a Chris tian. What better can be said of any man? Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to the bereaved ones. Dr. James A. DeVore. In the death of Dr. James A. De Vore at his residence in our town on Sunday night last, Edgelield has been bereft of one of her oldest land marks. Dr. DeVore had reached and passed the three-score and ten years, only allotted to man under the most fa vorable circumstances-his exact age being seventy-eight years. The lives of all man, especially those who have reached so advanced an age, ? teach some lessons. No man can live ( for himself alone, his influence will 1 live after bim either for good or ' evil. Probably the most valuable traits of | ] ^character are those homely ones, indus try, frugality, and integrity. These traits the deceased possessed in an emi- 1 nent degree, and they enabled him not ' only to provide for his own family, which is inculcated by the divine law, but to live upright'y and to deal just ly and fairly, not to say charitably, with all mankind. Deceased was buried from the Pres- ( byterian church, of which he was a 1 member, the Rev. L. H. Baldwin preacning the funeral sermon. Ma sonic honors also were observed in | \ the funeral obsequies at the grave. fNews and Courier.J A Charming Lecture. MR. JAMES T. BACON REVIEWS LIFE IN CAROLINA FOR THE LAST HALF CENTURY. A large and cultured audience assembled at Uritariau Hall, Arch dale street, last evening and lis tened with unflagging attention and interest to the lecture of Mr. Jamps T. Bneon, of Edgefield, on South Carolina in 1845 and 1895. The lecturer was introduced by the Rev. Mr. Whitman, who an nounced his subject as ''An Old Man's Kran ky Kaleidoscope," but "those who know Mr. Bacon are well aware that lie is not an old man, for he luisa heart of perpet ual youth." Mr. Bacon, alter bowing in re sponse to thu hearty applause which greeted him, turned to a piano on the stage and played a brilliant and beautiful overture. iiising from the piano stool Mr. 3acon bowed again and in a softly nodulated voice said that his ?ranky kaleidscope would be found vithout regularity or system ivents and anecdotes from he year of grace, 1845, to the rear of perhaps not so much grace, .895. Glimpses of life and of his ory, some sad and sombre, others jay and bright und all "higgledy >iggledy." He spoke of the days of '45, vhen South Carolina had filled 1er years with honor, prestige and lower, lt was a golden high noon )f wealth, luxury and pleasure. X was an age of minds titautic; vhen our orators spoke nations istened. The broad fields sent heir masses of fleecy staple out o clothe the millions. The sun sets were brighter in those days md the poppies were redder and he pickannies were blacker, greasier and dirter than now. The )eople were intellectual, for they lad come from the best of the vorld's people. In those days if he people had only Joshua's gift, bat they might have called the mn to stand still forever! Then the war came. It was a ?trong, manly fight and the Con ederate soldiers saved their self espect. That was surely worth he struggle, that they might land it down to their children's ihildren. There are many phases of life in he forties that are gone entirely u the nineties. How different it s in the matter of servants. Then ?ach young lady or gentleman had rom half a dozen to a score of ne groes to their bidding? Getting up n the cold and "wrasseling" wilh t fire was not so pleasant as when ie remembered the colored boy vould bring in a lot of "lit'ud" md start a cheerful blaze. Mr. Bacon painted a pretty pic ure of the country place where he ras raised in Edgefield County, md compared it humorously to he modern dwellings. "Mammy" md "Mauma," those two institu ions of the days gone by, were )ictured, and the story of his own ?bildhood guardian, M a m tn y iachael, was exquisitely told."The lescription of a negro funeral aud he sermon, which Mr. Bacon had leard when but a boy, were very interesting. He had found that h-> hoodoo songs and incantations lad not gone, for down in Georgia ?illy last year b? had heard and leon sennes almost as weird as that ie remembered in his child mod. * * * * UNION MEETING.

"The situation may be briily ummarized as follows: The long 'Stablished mills of the East, with heir millions invested, have no dea of an exodus to the South. They have been trying lo bull loze their Legislatures. The best lope of getting Eastern money in Southern mills is to go after un jmployed capital, Dot that al ?eady invested in New England :otton mills. Lastly, the way to .et this Eastern money is to show mr faith by our works; first, put ip our own money, and then ask he North and East to supply the jalacce that is needed.

Th? re is an old lady at the Louise borne in Washington nam id Miss Hartley Graham, who ?vas a belle in South Carolina six ty years ago, and was betrothed io John C.

She das a bracelet made of his hair, which was a fashionable sort of keepsake in those dayB, and a iaguerrotype that he gave her ihortly after they became engag ?d.

We secure patents and to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hun dred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who submits to us the most meritorious invention during the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention free of charge in the "National Recorder," a weekly newspaper, published in Washing ton, D. C., wbuch has an extensive circulation throughout the United States and is devoted to the inter ests of inventors. NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS. The idea of being able to invent something strikes most people as being very difficult ; this delusion the Compauy wishes to dispel. It is the simple things and small in ventions that make the greatest amouut of money, and the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such ideas are usually dis missed without thought. The sim ple inventions like the car window which could be easily slid up and down without breaking the pas senger's back, the Bauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel, are things that almost everyone seas.some way of improving upon, and it is these kiud of inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author. The prize we offer will be paid at the end of each month, whether the application has been acted upon by the Patau t Office or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his invention through us, and whether he secures the prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present.
