WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29, 1896.
Givo us a road to Greenwood,
Somebody! George Evans, wake
np!
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 iu
cotton manufacturing, and als? 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 McLaurin 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
gura'ed 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
law alone, it will utterly fail of its
mission because it will not be
honest.
The Augusta Herald reports that
Senator Irby was in the cloak room
the party asked him something
about Mr. Tillman, when with a
far-away reminiscent memory
smiling look, the senior senator is
said to have responded: "Tillman,
Tillman ; why, I can't recall any
one by that name with whom I am
acquainted."
The Grand Jury of last-year,
1895, by its own request was con
tinued over to the March teim of
court now near at hand. This
body, or rather the special commit
tee of this body will it is presumed
make a full and exhaustive report
of its actings and doings to Judge
Gary at the opening of the term.
To say that much is expected of
this commitine will simply be say
ing what they themtelves have by
their acts during the whole of the
past year promise! to the public.
Off With the Old Love.
Senator Tillman is striving to
make new friends as the davs go
by. He has introduced several
bills in the Senate in the special
interest of Charleston aud other
towns in the State heretofore po
litically opposed to him.
For 1890.

Lot Us Mind Our Own Business!
THE FOREIGN POLICY FAVORED BY
THE NEWLY ELECTED SENATOR
FROM MISSISSIPPI.
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.
AoQong other things, he said : *'As
a member of the committee on for
eigu affairs I have always buena
conservative in our foreign policy.
I hold the views of George Wash
ington in his farewell address, to
have no allianoes out commercial
ones, and with the views of Thom
as Jefferson in his eecond annual
message, to avoid all entangling
alliances. As a self-governing
people we have found it to our
profit and happiness to attend
strictly tc our own business, and
not to interfere in any respect
with the political relations of an
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 andar? jeal
ous of the i?aJJojut&i?*l?MJor, and can
be too readily induced in their
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 a:re connected
by a thousand business andeocial
ties. Thev are our best customers,
and close relations with them will
not only insure to us and them
perpetual peace, as between our
selves, but will also be a guarantee
of peace to the world. With the
United States aud Great Hritain
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 never
dreamed of the reformers and con
servatives of South Carolina, but
he knew all about the principle and
policy of both, and heie is what he
said :
"The two parties which divide
the state-the party of conserva
tism and that of innovation-are
very old and disputed the posses
- - tha-"~"'*~u '--&
1 the m rpj??cient world. Tho bat
? tie of ; ? jrician and plebeian, of
parent state and colony, of old
i usage and accommodation to new
facts, of the rich and the poor, re
appears in all countries and times.
The war rages not only in battle
fields, in national councile and
ecclesiastical synods, but^agitates
everj^man's bosom with opposing
advantages every hour. On rolls
the old world meantime, and now
one, now the other, gets the day,
and still the fight renews itself as
if for the first time under new
names and with hot personalities."
"There is always 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 3late of
things. Of course conservatism
always has the worst of the argu
ment, ie always apologizing, plead
ing a necessity, pleading that to
change would be to 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 the
right, triumphant, attacking, and
sure of final success."
WILFUL WILLIAMS.
An EdgefieldDelegate w ho Wants
Investigations..
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 21.-L. J.
Williams, who seems to be of an
enquiring disposition is going
around with a lantern, not looking
like the Greek philosopher for an
honest man, but for something to
investigate and refer, and so the
turning on of lights goes on, a res
olution to illuminate the manage
ment of the Winthrop Normal
school at Rock Hill by the appoint
ment of an 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 to Assis
tant Attorney General Townsend,
John Duncan and others who are
sitting as legislators while filling
State offices, a condition of affairs
which the member from Edgefield
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, will feel
ignored if they are not investiga
ted, and it is to be sincerely hoped
that there are n>no whose skirts ,
are not clear for they will be haunt- ,
ad ty visions of Mr. Williams with
Iiis lantern and a bundle of blank ?
'concurrent resolutions" ready to
be filled, up, and they will dream
it nights that Mr. Williams and
ni committee are sitting upon ?
hem tearing at their official livers.'t
Mart Gary's Monument.
A HANDSOME DESIGN FOB IT Now
ON EXHIBITION IN THE OFFICE OF
THE NEWS AND COURIER.
News and Courier.
Architect Devereux has 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, threej;feet. six inces in
diameter, resting upon a pedestal.
The column is capped and crowned
by a pile of cannon balls. The
whole structure is supported by a
platform of granite -tepe. On the
face of the pedestal is placed a
bald eagle with outstretched wings,
clutching the shield of ?-the State
in its talons, on which is inscribed
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 thc whole, of fine
cut granite, polishing the face of
tho 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 deaf of thought and work to
the production, and will offer 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 thal
made by Mr. Devereux. The pic
ture will be on exhibition at the
News and Courier jftice foi several
days.
Hong's Prophecy.
nj ~"
The following "vision" of Joseph
Hoag, in his day and generation
au eminent Quaker preacher, was
published in the year 1839. In
view of the fulfilment of many ot'
his prophecies and the present ug
ly political weather all around the
world it will prove interesting to
people not "ignorantly superstiti
ous :
VISION OK JOSEPH HOAG, 1803.
In the yenr 1803, in the eigth or
ninth month, I was alone in tin
field when I observed that tr**- S'.JII
was shining, but that irs bright
ness was eclipsed as by a mist. As
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 beforeof having been
sensible of such feelings.
Then all at once I heard a voice
from heaven saying: "This which
thou sees', which dims the brigbt
; I plauted them among the people
of the forest ; I maintained them,
and, while they were humble, I
blessed them and they became a
numerous people. Bu', they have
become proud and lifted up, and
forgotten me who nourished them
and protected them-iujthe wilder
ness." The voice ceasecT'and'T
lifted up my eyes aud, behold! I
saw an immense panorama on the
mist, 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
appeared es 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 various denominaiions,
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 ir 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 wero 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 tho mists of th^
sky, and was on the point of faint
ing fr Dm exhaustion when I heard
the voice proclaim: "Thiq shall
not always si and, but by 6uch
means shall I chastise my people
until they return to the faithful
ness of their forefathers. What
thou hast seen is that which has
come and will come upon tin's
land."
The -vonders I saw that dav
vere kept for many days as a se
er- t, until it became such a burden
that tor my ow . relief I have writ
ten it out for the world.

OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IT-GOLDI
The principal objectai thia company are to buy,
sell and operate gold ices.
Perhaps you ca-uotfford 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
lng, but never were tt ojporwunitics greater than
they are to-day.
The ownership of a SW ?ares of our stock may
make you rich.
8ome of the wealthiest mi of to-day became so
through mining. The cry ofhe whole world is for
Gold ( and its value and niessity is being more
fully appreciated each day.
All precious mineral dlscories are practically
gifts to tho people. Each pern is entitled to what
he can fairly get. Why not trftr yourself through
tis now 1
Splendid opportunies for sering great bargains
in mines come to us constant! Our agents are re
porting from the gold fields* this continent and
from Africa. The companywns two promising
properties in Cripple Creek. 1 propose to develop
one of the most remarkablrwell-proven placer
mines m the world. It has aady produced about
$2,000,000 by erudo surface -irking, and ls esti
mated to contain over $25,0003 in gold.
Now is the time to invest v, us. Do not wait
until every man, woman and ?ia ls eager to buy
fed prices auvo 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 is
estimated that works under way and contemplated
will produce $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 $1,000,000 per month.
Two old men, tired out and almost hopeless, not
.nany years since clung desperately to a small hole
L< the ground which showed some traces of gold.
That hole has since yielded over $2,000,000.
The Idaho Mine has paid nearly $6,000,000 In
dividends, thc Crown Point nearly $12,000,000, the
Belcher over $15,000,000.
We know of no other prominent Industry paying
such large dividends on capital Invested as fully
developed producing gold mines. The rate of 25 per
cent, per annum is quito common, while phenom
enal returns are made iu many instances.
