Edgefield Advertiser Xi'OS. Jv ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 1896. Give us a road to Greenwood, Somebody ! George Evans, wake up! We set it down as a self evident truth that there will be no war with England over the Venezuela question. The game isn't worth the candle. South Carolina stands at the head of the Southern States in cotton manufacturing, and alss in the list of factories projected and in process of building. The bill introduced by Senator "Tillman, to appropriate $15,000 to the College of Newberry as com pensation for damages done its buildings by Federal troops du ring the late war, passed the Uni ted States Senate last Tuesday. Representative McLainin has introduced a bill in Congress pro viding for a public building in Florence to cost $100,000. Senator Tillman will please fol. low suit and get a public building for Edgefield. On last Friday our House of Representatives passed a resolu tion of sympathy with the Cuban insurgents with only two dissent, ing votes ; and we imagine theBe members know as much about the issues in Cuba and the respsctive rights of that Island and Spain as Hector knew about Garfield. A new movement is being inau gurated is this State, osteneibily against the liquor traffic. Now if this movement be directed against blind tigers and the unlawful sales , of liquors by Dispensary's to mi nors and habitual druukards or upon written ordere, it is worthy of all support. But if it be a politi cal battering ram intended to knock the stuffing out of the Dispensary Jaw alone, it will utterly fail of its mis-sion because it will not be honest. The Augusta Herald reports thal Senator Irby was in the cloak roon the party asked him something about Mr. Tillman, when with i far-away reminiscent memory Smiling look, the senior senator i, said to have responded: "Tillman Tillman ; why, I can't recall anj one by that name with whom I an acquainted." The Grand Jury of last year 1895, by i tc own request was con tinued over to the March teim ot court now near at hand. This body, or rather the special cemmit tee of this body will it is presumed make a full and exhaustive report cf its actings and doings to Judge Gary at the opening of the term, To say that much is expected of this committee will simply be say ing what they themtelves have by their acts during the whole of the past year promised to the public. Off With tlie Old Love. Senator Tillman is striving to make new friends as the davs go by. He has introduced several bills in the Senats in the special interest of Charleston and other towns in the State heretofore po litically opposed to him. For 1890. Stay at home and work. Don't lose any time-it is money. Don't go in debt. Sow oats, sorghum and millet. Plant peas on al! thin land and sow it m wheat in tho fall. Plant cotton on good land and work ii well.

Jackson, Miss., January 24-In accepting the nomination as Uni ted States Senator to-day Col. Money arraigned himself in direct opposition to Governor McLaurin on the Venezuelan controversy. Among other things, he said : ''As a member of the committee on for eign affairs I have always buen a conservative in our foreign policy. I hold the views of George Wash ington in his farewell address, to have no alliances but commercial ones, and with the views of Thom as Jefferson in bis second annual message, to avoid all entangling alliances. As a self-governing people we have found it to our profit and happiness to attend strictly to our own business, and not to interfere in any respect with the poli'ical relations of any other country. I stand for a policy that means peace, plenty and high prices for our products; that will keep open to us the markets of the world and promote commerce and good feeling with other nations. I shall not yield to the war spirit that seems to have swept like a wave over the nation. Our people have warlike instincts anclare jeal ous of the national honor, and can be too readily induced in th^ir generosity to interfere in affairs when their protection is invoked. In my humble judgment the most unhappy consequence would follow a war between our country and Great Britain, the two English speaking nations. We are descend ed from them and have their blood, their language, their literature, their religion, and aro connected by a thousand business and tocia) ties. Tbev are our best customers, and close relations with them will not only insure to us iind them perpetual peace, as between our selves, but will also be a guarantee of peace to the world. With the United Stales and Great Britain determined upon peace, no other nation is powerful enough to make war with another if they forbid i\ Emerson on Conservatism. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay on conservatism npver dreamed of the reformers and cou , servatives of South Carolina, bul ; he knew all about the principle and , policy of both, and here is what he said : "The two parties which divide i the state-the party of conserva tism and that of innovation-are 1 very old and disputed the posses * the m^ ^m^ncient world. The bat 1 tie of . ,-rician and plebeian, of f parent slate and colony, of old g usage and accommodation to new facts, of the rich and the poor, re ' appears in all countries and times. 1 The war rages not only in battle i fields, in national couueile and ecclesiastical synods, but ^.gifirrw everxiua^'^^soT^with opposing advantages every hour. On rolls ' the old world meantime, and now " one, now the other, gets the day, I and still the fight renews itself as i if for the first time under new names and with hot personalities." I "There is alwayB a certain mean ness in the argument of conserva - tism, joined with a certain supe . riority in its fact. It affirms be , cause it holds. Its fingers clutch ? the fact, and it will not open its eyes to see a better face. The cas tle which conservatism is set to de fend is the actual state of things, good and bad. The project of inno vation is the best possible state of thiuge. Of course conservatism alwayB has the worst of the argu ment, is always apologizing, plead ing a necessity, pleading that to change would be lo deteriorate. It must saddle itself with the moun tainous load of the violence and the vice of society, must deny the possibility of good, deny ideas, and suspect and stone the prophets, while innovation is always in \he right, triumphant, attacking, and sure of final success/' WILFUL WILLIAMS An EdgefieldDelegate who Wants Investigations. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 21.--L. J. Williams, who seems to be of ar euquiring disposition is going around with a lantern, not looking like the Greek philosopher for an holiest man, but for something to investigate and refer, and so the turning on of ligh.s goes on, a res olution to illuminate the manage ment of the Winthrop Normal school at Rock Hill by the appoint ment of au investigating commit tee to look into the affairs of that institution having been introduced by that inquisitive member to-day, as was also a concurrent resolution, which will be of interest io Assis tant Attorney General Townsend, John Duncan and others who are sitting as legislators wbile filling State offices, a condition of affairs which the member from Edgeneld does not seem to understand. It begins to look as if this investiga ting fever is infectious and there is no telling how far it may go. Of course those whose skirts are clear , will be glad to be investigated and Will court the attention of Mr. Wil liams to get investigated, wli) feel ignored if they are not investiga- ? i- d, and it is to be sincerely boped , that there are n me whoso skirts ( are net clear for they will be haunt- , od ty visions of Mr. Williams with ] his lantern and a bundle of blank t "concurrent resolutions" ready to be filled up, and they will dream at nights that Mr. Williams and h'u committee are sitting upon a them tearing at their official livers, ?t Mart Gary's Monument. A HANDSOME DESIGN FOR IT NOW ON EXHIBITION IN THE OFFICE OF THE NEWS AND COURIER. News and Courier. Architect Devereux bas sent to the News and Courier office a hand some drawing of a design for a monument to Mart Gary, "the Bald Eagle of Edgefield." The drawing is handsomely colored and shaded and is mounted in a neat frame. The design shows a Grecian Doric shaft, three^feet, six inces in diameter, resting upon a pedestal. The column is capped and crowned by a pile of camion balls. The whole structure is supported by a platform of granite -teps. On the face of the pedestal is placed a bald eagle with outstretched wing?, clutching the shield of *-the State in its talous, on which is .ascribed the legend, "Warrior and .States man." The name of M. W. Gary is shown is raised letters cn the surbase of the pedestal. The ele vation to the top of the monument is thirty-six feet. It is contem plated to build the whole, of fine cut granite, polishing the face of thc pedestal for inscriptions of battles in which "the Bald Eagle of Edgefield" engaged. The design is one of perfect clas sic beauty. Mr. Devereux gave a great deal of thought and work to the production, and will ofter it to bo hung in the Library of the State House. Should a monument to the Warrior Gery ever be built no handsomer or more appropriate design could be chosen than that made by Mr. Devereux. The pic ture will be on exhibition at the News and Courier jffice foi several day 8. Hong's Prophecy. The following "vision" of Joseph Hoag, in his day and generation an eminent Quaker preacher, was published in the year 1839. In view of the fulfilment of many ol his prophecies and the present ug ly political weather all around th( world it will prove interesting h people not "ignorantly superstiti ous : VISION OF JOSEPH HOAG, 1803. In the year 1803, in the eigth or ninth month, I was alone in thc field when I observed that the sun was shining, but that its bright ness was eclipsed as by a mist. Ap I reflected my mind was struck in to silence the most solemn I had ever known. I said to myself, 'What can this mean?' I do not recollect ever before of having been sensible of such feelings. Then all at once I heard a voice from heaven saying: "This which thou sees', which dims the bright I planted them among the people of the forest ; I maintained them and, while they were humble, ] blessed them and they became a numerous people. Bu', they have become proud and lifted up, and forgotten me who nourished them &nd prat?eflt il "( tiri II in thx..wi[der " ness. The voice ceased and I lifted up my eyes and, behold! 1 saw au immense panorama on the m?6t, in which was shown things which I knew had passed but a few months or years before, and others which I have every reason to be lieve will happen in the near and remote future. First the people appoared as if dividing in great heat. The division appeared to be gin in the churches on points of doctriue. It commenced in the Presbyterian Church and went through the variousdenominaiions, and in each case those who held to their ancient principles appeared sorrowful and dejected. Then the trouble appeared in what I took to be a lodge of Free ! masons, raging with great violence until it set the whole panorama in an uproar. Next the trouble arose in American politics and did not cease until it produced a great civ il war and the shedding of abund ance of blood. In the course of this great strug gle slavery was annihilated and the divided States were finally re united again. Then a monarchical power arose and took the government of the Staten. This done, they establish ed a national religion and compell ed all the people to pay tribute for its support and expense. I was amazed at beholding all this plain ly depicted on the mists of the sky, and was on ' i point of faint ing frDm exhausl . when I heard the Voice procla "This shall not always si an but by such means shall I cha erny people until they return he "faithful ness of their fore fu hers. What thou hast seen is that which has come and will come upon this land." The iv enders I saw that day vere kept for many days as a se er- t, until it became such a burden that lor my ow . relief I have writ ten it out for the world. JOSEPH HOAG. Cartarrh Cured.

Perhaps you cannot ?Tor J to buy an entire gold mine, but you can havan interest in several valu able ones through us. Enormous fortunes ave been made in gold min ing, but never were tb opportunities greater than they are to-day. The ownership of a tew Bares of our stock may make you rich. 8ome of the wealthiest mi of to-day became so through mining. The cry ofho whole world is for Gold ( and its value and n^ssity is being more fully appreciated each day. AU precious mineral discaries are practically gifts to tho people. Each pern is entitled to what he can fairly get. Why not trtor yourself through es now ? Splendid opportunies for sering great bargains in mines come to us constant I Our agents are re porting from the gold fields' this continent and from Africa. The companying two promising properties in Cripple Creek. \ propose to develop one of the most remarkabltwell-proven placer mines m the world. It has aady produced about $2,000,000 by erudo surface >rkine, and ls esti mated to contain over $25,0003 in gold. Now is the time to invest vj us. Do not wait until every man, woman andild la eager to buy feld prices havo advanced enoously. In 1887 the first shipments of gold, amounting to less than $000,000, were made from South Africa, In 1894 the production was nearly $40,000,000. It It estimated that works under way and contemplated will produco $100,000,000 per year. Less than five years ago Cripple Creek was un known as a mining camp. In 1892 it produced $200,000. It is now producing $4,000,000 per month. Two old men, Ured out and almost hopeless, not .nany years since clung desperately to a small hole i?< the ground which showed some traces of gold. 1 hat. hole has since yielded over $3,000,009. The Idaho Mine has paid nearly $6,000,000 In dividends, tho Crown Point nearly $12,000,000, the Belcher over $15,000,000.
