WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1896. LOCAL* BREVITIES. Rebate means bait us again. Watermelons are abundant in this market but are smaller than usual. People in this vicinity are already eating sweet potatoes of the new crop. The name of the Ron. H. II. Townes is presented this week for the office of Si ate Senator. Ru.miug beans, encumber and squash seed should be planted now for September crop. The Teachers Institute will open at the Johnstou Academy on July 27th, arid be continued for one week. Please don't tell us that you have htid too much rain. Wait a while, a Ht 'tie while, aud it will be all right. Remember the picnic and barbecue of the Light Dragoons at Centre Spings on to-morrow, Thursday. During the past week Dr. Gwalttey has beeu assisting Mr. Bowman of Ai ken in a series of services in that coun ty. Since the rains of last week our far mers are already complaining that the cotton is all running to weed, has the . big: leaf, &C, "$20,000 rebate on liquor last year, and $100,000 this year. Somebody got rich but the State did'nt get a cent of it." We tell the tale as it was told to us. Who are the guilty ones? Bryan, the nominee for President, has been called the "Black Eagle of Nebraska." It is said that the Black Eagle will stump the United States. Mr. E. G. Haltiwanger, the new rail j road agent at this place, is giving uni versal satisfaction. Superintendent Fowler could not have done better if be had searched creation rou ti J. Jefferson said of agrlcultnre, altis the grand exchequer of the world that honors all drafts, however large." Jef ferson lived in times when the crops never failed to satisfy the liens, per haps. -'. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thdrsday of last week the rains that fell were "trash movers and root soakers." The wind which accompanied the second rain did some damage, twisting up cotton and blowing down corn. It isn't yet too ia'e to set out swee: potatoes, but use slips rather than vines, if you have them. The Georgia experiment station has demonstated the fact that cutting the vines injures the yield in proportion to such cut ting. Tue things Tillman said at Chicago last week and the way he said them prove what his best friends best know that he has a great big streak of fool in his mental make-up, a kiud o? a streak most likely to show up big and strong at the most inopportune t mes. Messrs. A. E. Padgett and Chas. A. Griffin have formed a partnership for the purpose of a lile, Are, and accident insurance business in Edge?eld coun i ty. These gentlemen represent some of the best companies on the globe. See their statement in another column. Their office is in the Farmers Bank building. ?-is stated that Mr. McKinley will make a tour through the South in the autumn, to make speeches on the tariff question. It is safe to say however, that .Republican managers are count ing much more strongly upon Hanna's f trip through the South with bis "full" doliar. BottLoLthese tourists will dnrr assaults upon the Solid South are in vain,"-Ex. CT ? If you want to eat rutabaga turnips in September and October sow the seed this month. But if you waut to raise to keep during the winter as you do sweet potatoes in bank, delay sowing untii the last of August or the tirst of September. This is the experience of Dr. J. W. Hill of our town, an expe rienced and successful raiser of this esculent. The Edgeflell State campaign meet ing will be held at this place on Wed nesday the 29th July inst. It has been predictei that this would be one of the most quiet campaigns since the in coming of the Tillman dynasty (by the way it would be better never to die at all than to dynasty) but we are not so sure of the quietness. A little leven has been injected into the lump that, if it works well, will make things any thing bul quiet. Mr. Johnson, tutor at Edgewood, res pectfully invites people with musical and literary taste to meet him at the Baptist church Mouday night, 20th inst., at 8:80; on which occasion he will deliver his lecture on music, il lustrated with vocal and instrumental selections, lt is hoped that all persons who try to help in jhe musical part of church services, will make it a point to bo present.

William Jennings Bryan, the demo cratic nominee for President, was named after "old Dr. Bill" Jennings of Edge?eld.

An Exploded Sensation. The citizens of Meriwether Town ship, of,bo th races, have for several weeks past been much excited over the sudden disappearance of three colored men Lee Jackson, John Frair and Grif White. It was alleged that they had been murdered and their bodies thrown into Big Stevens Creek. The only evi dence that the bodies of these three negroe:rwere in the creek was the fact that three shirts were found on its banks. Messrs. W. D. McClendon and A. F. Floyd, white men, the supposed mifrderers, were arrested and brought to Edgefleld on last Saturday by Trial Justice Jno. W. Glover and a prelimi nary htaring was held at this place. At this hearing the only witness for the State was Thomas Jackson who said he knew nothing' except what he had beard nd he bad beard this : "that one of the three shirts found was a woman's gown;" this was all. Of course McClendon and Floyd were discharged. In the mean time the three negroes have turn ea up "Jiving and doing well" at Mc Cormick. Mr. N. L. G ri ?ls of Chotee has seen the negroes slime their sup posed taking off.

TRAPP McMANTJS'S CORN CUTS NO ICE, AND EVEN CUBA IS LAID IN THE SHADE. A Big Hullabaloo in Skippers Georgia. EDITOR ADVERTISER: A few weeks since three shirts, it is said, were found near the Mo doc bridge. At once reports be came rife that three negroes were cut to death and sunk in the creek, Bit* Stevens Creek. For miles up and down the creek he water was said to be thick and slimy and so offensive that the trees are shed ding I heir leaves. These reports caused Choty, Martintown, Blue Branch, Skippers Ga., and Fork o' the creek to swarm and settled on the banks thereof. The creek was dragged and waded for fifty miles, more or less, and should there have been a cambric needle on its bot tom it certainly would have been brought to light. Sunday the 5th was the gala day of the whole occasion. Hundreds of men white and black for 15 miles around joiued in the Bearch. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon shots were beard and the news spread rapidly up and down the creek aud over the country that a party in a boat were fired upon from parties in ambush and sever al of the boatmeu were killed and wounded. Investigation by some of the bravest proved that a white man had killed a moccasin. On Monday the 6th news spread like wild fire that a negro was found in a raft some 10 miles be low the br;dge, but the finding party could not extricate the body or go near it for the terrible stench. A hundred or more negroes with muskets, shot guns and dogs and a large party of while men all of whom had become somewhat ac customed to the horrible smell of the creek, went down to the said raft and after much 'ugging brought to light a stump with a kno on it. Ano'her rescuing par ty dispatched from headquarters in hot haste to another raft and unearthed a dead terrapin. At this writing the search is going on avsidiously and thc news c >mes that six more shirts have boen found. Never were there eo man} shirts in Choty before. I would say to "Student" that I have no time to talk about such tame things as Trapp McManus's corn. When it shoots it will make its own report. R. V. WINKLE, War Correspondent. Choty, July 7th.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S BOM SOMETHING FRESH AND NEW. What a Georgia Business Man ' Says of the Scandal. FORMED ONE OF A SYNDICATE TO TAKE THE ENTIRE ISSUE AT PAR -Ho TELLS HOW THE STATE LOST $135,000, BEING OBLIGED TO PAY INTEREST FOR SIX MONTHS-THOSE WHO WERE INTERESTED IN WHAT HE DE CLARES WAS A "DEAL." N. Y. Times, July 9th. A prominent business man of August?, Ga., who is visiting this city, said yesterday that the facts in the Tillman South Carolina bond scandal had not yot been published. "I was in a position," said he, "to know the inner workings of the entire deal, for it was nothing else. I formed one of a syndicate or ganized to bid for the issue of South Carolina bonds, and through my efforts to secure the bonds learned that the whole affair had been manipulated by Gov. Tiilmau, and that he and other State offi cials were largely interested in having the prearranged programme carried out. 'The bond issue authorized by th o Legislature was to be $6,000, 000 4? per cents. I took an interest in gettiug up a syndicate to make a bid for the entire issue. The syndicate was readily organized, and consisted of a number of banks of Charleston, S. C., and Augusta, Ga. It was known that Tillman had declared he did not want the Charleston banks to get any of the bonds, because that city had always opposed him and his methods. "To avoid i appearance of the Charleston ba ? in th? bid, it was arranged that * bid should be ?nade by thu G> ia Railroad and winking Corni. ; of Augusta i bank was down for $200,000 oDffce bonds if the bid was accept ed. Tu other words, tho Georgia Railroad and B alking Company was acting as agent for the syndi cate "When wo had the bid comple ted we sent an agent with it to Co lumbia. The bid was for the en tire $6,000,000 at par. Our agent saw Gov. Tillman and submitted the bid. The Governor seemed confused, but sai I that he could not receivo the bid, and that if any bid was to be 'proftVrtd it would have to be made through his agent, Golden Rhiud ol Au gusta. "Our agent eaid he thought a matter of this kind should be set tled at headquarters, and asked if the Legislature would receive the bid. 'It will not,' said Tillman. 'It will do just as I say.' ' Shortly after this, when we saw that we cou ll do nothing, we sold to Mr. Rhind for $2,500 our Char leston subscription list, and let the matter alone. 'The bonds were sold, to thoBO Charleston banks and to others for $6,000,000; but the State got only $5,865,000, or at the rate of 97f A6 we had made a bona fide and guaranteed bid of 100 to take the bonds at once, the State of South Carolina lost just $135,000. "The device by which the trans action was sought to be covered up was very cleverly conceived. The bouds were engraved to bear inter est from January, 1893. By the terms of sale the State did not get its money until July, 1893. The interest coupons for the eix months January to July, were turned over to the agents and others interested iu tho trade. At 4? per cent, a year the interest for six months amounted to 2? per cent, or $135, 000. The State paid interest on $6,000,000 from January to July, while it did not get the use of a ceut until July. "As the entire $6,000,000 was paid in by the syndicate in July, Tillman could make the specious claim that the bonds had brought par. His blind followers did not know that their State had paid in terest on the $6,000,000 for six mouths before it was placed in the treasury. They had brought par so far as the buyers were concern ed, but the people of South Caro lina had to pay $135,000 or a six mouths' interest coupon, to close the deal. "Who got the $135,000 I do not pretend to say. The men who pur chased the bonds did not, and the only others interested were the agents and the State officials, The agents get up such deals for pay it is their business and a legiti mate one-but it is stated that at least half of it went to some one besides the agents, and the State officials are busy denying that they got any of it. "One interesting featuro of the matter is that Tillman is accusing President Cleveland of selling bonds for a less sum than ho could have obtained for them in open market. Mr. Cleveland accepted the best bids. Tillman, on the oth er hand, refused a bid for imme diate purchase at par, tnd sold the bonds at a loss to his State of 2? per cent."
