Edenfield Advertiser THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1896. =========== Governor Boy Taylor, free sil ver and victory is the Democratic war-cry in Tennessee. Greater New York is what it will be after Jan. 1st, 1898. The | city will be the largest in the ? world, covering three hundred Bquare miles and containing three million citizens. It will be half I as big as the county of Edgefield, so we still have enough territory left to,make a decent town, even though Saluda has been cut off. Plow Some More. The Rev. Rhodes, living twolve miles east of Tompson Texas, while plowing his field on Saturday last, unearthed 30,000 Mexican dollars. It seems that the money was bu ried in a leather satohel and it was almost rotten. Mr. Rhodes bought the place twenty years ago. For several years there has been dig ging in that community by un known parties at night. Almost Persuaded. The Columbia State is giving us j these hot days some arguments in favor of silver coinage that excel, logically, and in every other res pect, anything that we have seen, the Congressional Record and Coins Financial School not ex- J cepted. These arguments are nol long drawn out like cold molasses, but terse, as clear as a whistle, and irrefutable. The Lords of the Senate. The United States Senate hangs on to its plunder "like a puppyto a root" or a "sick kitten to a hot \ brick." It has added to the ap propriation bill, as passed by the House, the considerable figure of $247,000. The House has persist ed until the Senate has backed down from $103,920, while the House has yielded $59,209, leav ing 383.900 in dispute. The bill, as agreed upon, carries $338,162 for compensation of 295 employees of the House of 356 members. This makes an average cost per member, in the way of employes, of $939. The Senatoris a more expensive luxury than the member of . the House. It requires only 295 em . ployoB to keep 356 Representatives in running order, but in the Sen ate, with 89 members, there are now, exclusive of reporters of de bater and the personal clerks of Senators, 278 employes, at a cost of $403,529, or a per capita cost per Senator of $4,483 for employes. But that is not enough to satisfy these lords of the Senate. They in sist that personal clerks shall have $1,500 a year, instead of $1, 200, as paid by the House, and that some committee clerks shall get $1,800, instead of $1,440. The Senate insists on being ex po nsive out of all proportion to its members and, while Senator -^-Tillman ?B "pitchforking" we would suggest a little more of it right where he is. The Senate is not only increasing its expenses but also in arrogance and ineffi ciency. The Chicago Exposition. Col. E. L. Roche, Commissioner for South Carolina of the South ern States Cotton Exposition at Chicago, has issued a circular of which the following is a synopsis : Mr. W. A. Clark, president of the Carolina National Bank, Co lumbia, has been elected treasurer of tho fund, and all money should be forwarded to him as soon as collected. It is necessary to col lect the funds at once, as the time is very short in which to prepare the exhibit. The exhibit will represent all tho resources ?f tne State, and all products, manu factured and unmanufactured. It will be arranged to represent the State as a whole, but companies or individuals desiring to make spe cial exhibits will be allowed to do so?n the space allotted to South Carolina. Each county or town ? will get full credit for all articles exhibited by it. The duty of the county commis sioners wili be, first, to see to the collection of the money assessed to the counties, to assist the State commissioner in securing material for the State exhibit, and to in duce manufactures and others tu make special exhibits. The com missioner in each county may ap. ' point such committees to aid him as he finds necessary. There should not be less than one in Bach township, the commissioner j having charge of all the details in his county. The women of the State are invited to help to raise the money for the general exhibit, ?is there will be no separate wo man's exhibit. Commissioners may prepare lists of all properties for sale in their ^respective counties, as farms, wa i?r powers, manufacturing sites, fruit and stock farms, truck farms, timbe rand mineral lands, etc.^ind such lists should be printed for j distribution at the Exposition. The amount assessed for Edgs Jield County ie $200 the raising of j which has been committed to Col. Geo. B. Lake who is the County Commissioner for Edgefield, and all money e..at him will be at once turned over to Treasurer Clark. June Grass. It is not in the province of mau to determine what the weather will bo so far ahead, but the probabili ty is that the month of June will be wet. Such being th? prospect the wise farmer will put .on hi3 thinking cap and keep it on till the cloud8roll by. The Agricultural Department of Georgia has issued the following circular on the sub ject of cultivation and getting rid of J ane grass. * RAPID CULTIVATION. "Many farmers continue to use sweeps and heelscrapes, or other comparatively narrow forms of cultivating implements, involving much IOBS of time, Progressive farmers very generally understand that the breaking or other deep plowing of the soil should be done before the crop is planted ; and the cultivation of the growing crop should be shallow, the object being simply to keep the surface, to the depth of an insh or so, in a mollow, pulverized condition. To do this most effectively and eco nomically a wide spreading, shal low runoiug implement is requir ed. We have found a very satis factory tool in the Planet, Jr., Cul tivator, although there are doubt less others that are equally effec tive. "In a 4-foot corn or cotton row, the soil already well broken and in good, mellow condition, one trip w-ith such an implement, or one time to each row, is all tha'. should be given when going over the crop. A lively mule or horse will easily go over ten acres, or even moro, in a da}'. "When using a cultivator that will practically stir the entire width of a 4-foot or 5-foot row, it would be poor economy to make a full round trip to each row, sim ply in order to perfectly 'side' each row of plants. lu such a case the return trip will be almost thrown away. In such a case we would proceed thus, in either cue of the two ways. Suppose the rows to be 4 feet wide and running north and south, and that the implement to be used as a Planet, Jr., or oth er cultivator, or a wide sweep, that will stir and cover together a width of 42 inches or mon First plan: Run around every alternate row. This will put one furrow, or trip, in every middle, and 'side' perfectly both sides of every al ternate row aiid stir the entire sur face of the field excepting a nar row strip of ?only a few inches on each side of every alternate row, and each man and horse will go over not loss than ten acres a day. ^Second -plan : Sido, tr* east (or west, dither) side of emnj row, plowing 'right left.' Th is also puts a furrow or strip in ev*?ry middle and stirs the entire surface of the field, excepting a strip of a few inches on tho west side of every rqw, and each mau and horse will also accomplish not less than ten acres in a day. In a week the pro cess may be repeated, this time alternating the rows or sides of rows. If the first plau be adopted, 'runaround' the rows that were left before; if tho second plan be adopted, side the west side of each .row. By either of these plans just twice the area may be gone over in a day, compared to the usual two furrows to the jow plan and the essential object-the breaking ing of the finest and stirring of the surface layer of the soil-will be practically accomplished with the expenditure of just half the time and labor, ^nd enable the farmer to go over his crop twice as often and make the intervals between stirrings just one-half as long." Where the land is very rough or has become packed, of course oth er plans must be substituted, and the farmer sustains the loss in time and labor." The Greenville News asks some very searching questions about the $78,000 which it cost to refund the State bonds two or three years ago. R. A. Lancaster, of New York, who assisted in organizing the syndicate, got $26,000, but the mystery still remains as to the destination of the other $52,000. Mr. Rhind, of Augusta, is said to have told the brokers and bankers that it was 'used for Legislative expenses, that is, in getti?g the refunding bill through the Legis lature. The Greenville News is perfectly right in asking these questions-thousands of people in South Carolina have smelt rotten ness for some time in this transac tion and they will never be satis fied until the whole thing is thor oughly and impartially investiga ted. Of course, the investigation is goiug to be put off as loug as possible, but it will come all the same, and then look out.-Darling ion News. An Old Doctor's Favorite. Dr. L. M.

Last week wo gave prominence to the speech delivered by Senator Tillman in tho Senate of the Uni ted States on Friday, May lat. There were many things JU that speech that are truly commenda ble. Senator Tillman is well in formed with reference to the wants and needs of the people-the com mon people, as coutra-distinguish ed from the selfrstyled and law created money barons and Shy locks-of the country. We think, however, that he was premature in making a declaration that he would bolt the Chicago convention unless both candidate and plat form were to his likiug. Jt is just possible that, in the heat of de bate, the Senator forgot himself and gave vent to his personal feel ings at the time rather than the cool judgment he usually express es with reference to matters of such gravit}'. What he evidently meant was that if the administra tion used its. powerful influence, together with the money of Wall street, to pack the Chicago conven tion against the will of the major ity of the Democratic voters of the country, ho would not feel bound by its action. Senator Vest, of Missouri, than whom there is no better Democrat living, has since given expression to views in keeping with those we think. Senator Tillman had in mind at the time of his recent de claration. In other words, we re gard Till mao's speech as a warn ing to the goldbug administration that nothing but Democratic methods will be tolerated at the Chicago meeting. If, however, the Senator meant more than this we must part company with him. We believe that a national con vention of tho Dpmocratic party should express the combined views of tho entire Democracy of the country on all public questions. Any attempt to thwart that ex pression should meet with imme diate condemnatioi.. In the event that a lot of public officeholders under the Federal government pap-suckers-made delegates by the power of the administration, as in the case of Michigan, wer? to control the Chicago oonvention, we would not, as Democrats feel n any way bound to respect the decrees of that body or support its nominees. But if the Democrats of the country are to b.) left free to act as they think for themselves, then we will follow, without ques tion their lead. No man has a right to dictate to our national gatherings, either as to policy or candidate. We earnestly believe that two-thirds of the Democrats of the country favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver if left to their own will in casting .their votes. However, if the will of '-he Democratic party, fairly express ed, is for something ?ls? we are ready to accept the 'verdict, and abide by it. We hope and trust that we are right in reference to the action of Senator Tillman, fdr if he really intended to bolt with out due cause, weare deceived in tho man, and must bid him adieu. Time will tell, and then we can act advisedly.-Fort Mill Times. A NANTHEM OF PRAISE. "You noticed, didn't you," said the man who dropped in, "that Rev. Dr. Taimage says Cleveland has been converted and is travel ing in the heavenly way." "Yes, I noticed it." "Well, I thought there ought-to be a nauthem of praise offered up on such an occasion; so I've writ it." . "Yes?" 'Yes. and here it is. You can publish it if you want to or you can reject it into the waste basket. Don't make no difference to me." HERE'S THE NANTHEM : One time a preacher said to Grover: "Oh cast salvation's mantle over Your cowerin' form and enter in Where there's redemption from your sin," "My sin!" said Grover with a smile; "If I'm a sinner, what's Carlisle?" The preacher talked of endless woe, But all thc same, it didn't go. It didn't go! It didn't go! Still Grover held in sin and woe, And often muttered with a smile, "If I'm a sinner what's Carlisle?" Ano then that preacher said, said he: "Oh, turn, poor mortal, and he free; "While yet the lamp holds out to hurn The vilest sinner may return. Their pearly harps the ransomed hold, And all the streets are paved with gold." "With gold ?''said Grover wi m a grin, "If that's salvation, count me in!" He's counted in ! He's counted in ! The str?ets of gold he's hound to win. But still he queries with a smile "if I'm a christian, what's Carlisle?" -A. J.
