Edenfield Advertiser THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, OCT. 7,1896. WILLIAM jsxxixas BU YAN*. "Yon shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of ?horns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." DEMOCRTIC TICKET, FOR PR?SIDENT. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, OF NEBRASKA. FOR VICE PKESIDEXT, ARTHUR SEWALL, OF MAINE. For U. 8. Senator: JOSEPH H. EARLE, of G reen vi Ho. For Govcnor : W. H. ELLERBE, of MarioD. For Lieutenant Governor: M. B. MCSWEENEY, of Hampton. For Secretary of State: D. H. TOMPKINS, of Edgefield. State Treasurer : W. H. TIMMERMAN, of Edgefield. For Attorney General : W. A. BARBER, of Chester. For Comptroller General : JAMES NORTON, of Marion. For Superintendent of Education : W. D. MAYFIELD, of Greenville. For Adjutant General : J. GARY WATTS, . of Laurens. For Congress : W. J. TALBERT, of Edgefield. For Solicitor: J. WM. THURMOND, of Edgefield. William J. Br}-an, the demo cratic nominee for president, spoke in Boston last week to an audi ence of seventy-five thousand peo ple, Col. Neal, who Is at tho head of ~~~the Penitentiary State farm, will make this year eight hundred bales of cotton and twelve thou-and bush els of corn. .The Supreme court of the Uni ted States will hear the cases test ing the constitutionality of the South Carolina Dispensary law on the 19th of October. The State Board of Control on last Wednesday paid over to the State Treasurer the sum of $25,000, profits of the State dispensary. This is the first payment ever made on account of profits. The news comes by telegram that 3,000 Armenians have been massacred by the insatiate Turk. Only the interference of the great nations of the earth will put a stop to these atrocities. The Por*- Roysl and Western Carolina railroad, once the Au gusta & Knoxville, has been chang ed to ihe Charleston and Western Carolina with J. B. Cleveland as presdent. From many intelligent and in fluential Reform sources through out the State it is suggested that the old Edgefield Reform war horne, the Hon. W. H. Yeldell, should be the next Speaker of the House of Representctives. This is a spontaneous movement on the part of the people, because we know that Mr. Yeldell has never e^en thought of it. We saw him a few days ago and our relation ship ae friends is such that wo feel certain if he had known of any such disposition on the part of bis political friends in the State or had any such aspirations, he would have said something about it. We have known Mr. Yeldell many years and have bren closely associated with him fera long time, and we know and the people know, of what honest ma terial he ie made. No man, no set of men, no influence that is ? not fair, that is not honest and that in any degree would be against the welfare of all the peo ple could be brought to, bear upon W.H. Yeldell and cause him to , swerve one whit from an hone.it i and conscientious purpose to serve the people wholly without fear, favor, or affection.-Green- , wpod Journal. i The wind and rain storm that visited Edgefield on Tuesday of last week did us only good, bring ing moisture to the dry and thirsty earth, and reviving all animal and vegeiable life. We got merely the outer edge of a terriflic cyclone that struck thc coast of Florida and Georgia, doing its greatest damage at Savannah. Thence it proceeded, northward, spreading out iaushape until it reached Wis consin on thc west and Connecti cut on the oast. Millions of dol lars worth of property w^re destroy ed and many lives lost in its track. Those most capable of judging and who have given the political situation the most thorough aud conscientious study maintain that the next House of Representatives will favor silver. Such being the case, if Bryan be elected, there w:"l be noshing iu the way of a restoration of the white metal to its birthright, the Senate being al ready in favor of such legislation and beyond possibility of change by the present year's election. But it is also a fact that the probabili ties that the next lower house cf congiess will be democratic are greater than that Bryan will be elected president. Bryan himself has no doubt of his election. In a letter to the "New York Journal," by the way the greatest newspaper on the con tinent, he says : "I have uo doubt of my election, and I base my con fidence upon the fact that the free coinage sentiment is growing eve ry day. The people are studying the mouev question, and the study of it is convincing the people gener ally that there can be no perma nent piosperity so long as the gold standard is maintained. The gold standard makes a dear er dollar; a dearer dollar means falling prices and falling prices means hard times. TLIIC NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE DECLARED .FOB, FREE SIL VER OUT-NUMBERS THE DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE DESERTED THE TICKET ; AND, WHILE THE NUMBER OF SILVER REPUBLICANS IS INCREASING ALL THE TIME, TRE NUMBER OF BOLTING DEMOCRATS IS ALL THE TIME DE CREASING. While I have no doubt as to ray election, I believe that every ad vocate of free coinage should work from now to election day to make the majority in the Electoral Col lege so large that no party hereaf ter will e"ver dare to piopose sub mission to a foreign financial pol" icy. Signed, W. J. BRYAN. Commissioners of Election. 'The following gentlemen have be?n appointed commissioners of Election for Edgefield county: State: L. Charlton, J. N. Fair,J. Blocker. Federal : D. B. Hollings worth, J.T. Mims, J. C. Williams. Lott vs. Nicholson. In the matter of the contested election cate of Lott vs. Nicholson? the Executive Committee, ac its meeting on Monday, decided that they would not entertain the mat ter furthe'r, but would allow the declaration of the election airead}' made to stand, that declaration be ing that Mr. Nicholson was elected to thr> office of County Superin-J tendent of Education. Chatfield vs. Talbert. P. B. Chatfield of Aiken, manag er of the Highland Park Hotel, has been uomiuated by the republi cans as a candidate for congress against Tajbert. u.Tas" will not mind Chatfield more than the bull does the fly on his horns. But it will be the part of wisdom for democrats to act iu this matter as though the fly were a formidable antagonist. Sp let us all rally round the flag and give our pres ent representative a majority that is his due. Settlements all Right. Register, Oct. 4th. Comptroller General Norton re turned to the city yesterday. He has been for. the past week ou a tour of settlement with Treasurers in tho Weetrrn and Southeas'em counties.

' i hore was some trouble reported by the grand jury of Edgefield in reference to the taxes in that coun ty for 1893-94 which has never been settled. Mr. Norton said thal ho had sr>nt Auditor Wise of Ai ken to Edgefield. ns an expert, to investigate tho matter and turn on the light on all transactions. We will pay 12cts. for Colton Seed, L. G.

Jack POD vi Ho, Fla.', Oct. 2.-Re ports from Cedar Keys tell a story of great damage to proper'y and loss of, lifo from fire and flood. ManyTumor8 from there spoke of Cedar Keys having been wiped out, but fortunately later and moro authenticated reports sh'ow this was an exaggeration. As it is, how ever, fifteen persons are reported drowned. In Mrs." Weidley's bouse alone five persons perished by the flood, including three of Mrs. Weidley's children and her niece and the latter's child. B >dies are being re covered from along the coast and many fishermen who went out Mon day night have not been heard from since they left. It is feared that thc fatalities will exceed the number reported. The Florida Central and Penin sular railroad will be compelled to build au entire new track for a dis tance of four miles. All the wharves at Cedar Keys aro washed away, several houses wore blown down and six wen; destroyed by fire. Mrs. Anna Gage, wife of Ex Deputy U. S. Marshal, Columbus, Kan., says ?
