".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

shared in the general rise, but as here
tofore, remain below zero.
During the session of the 'ourt last

is a bright ornament and exemplar.
Five hundred hands and one hun
dred mules were put to work on the

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.

Windfall to the Schools.
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.

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

"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. Many a

Calhoun's Sweetheart.
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. Calhoun when he was
it the height of his prominence.
But for some reason he married
mother woman, and she has re
mained a maiden to this day. 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. She epent much of her girl
hood and her womanhood in
Washington, where she knew Clay
ind Webster, and danced with
Bnchanau at the Navy Yard balls
oefore anybody dreamed that he
vould be President. But in her
ewel-box, with other mementoes,
.re several from Mrs. Cleveland
vhich she prizws more than any
hing else. The last one wasda
ed a few days after the Presi
leut's wife relumed from Gray
jab?es last November, and it
.cads :
Dear Miss Graham: "I have
ust gathered these flowers at
kVoodiey and 1 thought 1 would
iei?d them to you this niorniog as

PRIZES ON PATENTS'
Hov.' to Get $100 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.
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.

IN 1395.
HARPER'S WEEKLY is a pictorial his
tory of the times. It presents every
important event promptly, accurately,
and exhaustively in illustration and
descriptive text of the highest order.
The matter in which, during 1894, it
has treated the Chicago Railway
Strikes and the China-Japanese War,
and the amount of light it was able to
throw on Korea the instant attention
was directed to that little-known
country, are examples of its almost
boundless resources. Julian Ralph, the
distinguished writer and correspond
ent, has been sent to the seat of war,
and there joined by C. 1). Weldon, the
well-known American artist, now .for
many years resident in Japan, who has
been engaged to co-operate with Mr.
Ralph in sending to HARPER'S WEEKLY
exclusive information ana illustration.
During 1S95 every vital question
will be discussed with vigor and with
out prejudice in the editorial columns,
and also in special articles by the high
est authorities in each department.
Portraits of the men and women who
are making history, and powerful and
caustic political cartoons, will continue
to be characteristic features. This
Busy World, with its keen and kindly
comment on the lesser doings of the
day, will remain a regular department.
Fiction. There will be two powerful
serials, both handsomely illustrated
"The Red Cockade," a stirring romance
of olden days by Stanley J. Weyman,
and a novel of New York, entitled
"The Son of His Father," by Brander
Matthews-several novelettes, and
many short stories by popular writers

ber current at the time of receipt of
order.

postpaid, on receipt of $.00 each. Title
page and Index sent on application.
Remittances should be made by Post
office Money Order or Draft, to avoid
chance of loss.
Newspapers are not to copy this-a4
vertisement without the express order
of Harper & Brothers.
