Edenfield Advertiser ?- ? T?OS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14,1897. The situation in Cuba and Crete remains unchanged. A. E. Buck, of Georgia, has been appointed minister to Japan. The international convention of the Y. M. C. A. will meet in Mo bile, Ala., April 21st to25th? Editor W. W. Ball, of the Green ville News, will be married on April 21st to Miss Fay Witto, of Charleston. President McKinley has signed a bill authorizing the sending of a vessel with supplies to the famine Bufferers of India. The Phosphate Commission has reduced the royalty on phosphate rock to 25 cents a ton, owi?g to the great ; depression in the busi ness. By the way, Governor Ellerbe is opposed to privileges and there is talk that these privileges are all to be revoked ; at least they are not as good things vas they hpve been. By a recont decision of the Su preme Court of this State a man cannof keep two and a half gallons of whiskey in his house for his own use unless the jug, or cask has the commissioners stamp upon it. The matter of levying an extra tax SJ as to make the school fund amount to $3 per capita in all the counties has been decided and the same will be levied as soon as the Comptroller General can make arrangements. Congress has appropriated $200, 000 for the relief of the sufferers from the floods along the Missi? sippi and tributary streams. The President's prompt signature to the bill makes this amount imme diately available. It is told on Dr. J.

Senator Tillman paid President McKinley a pop call the other day-a courtesy he never showed President Cleveland-and was pleasantly entertained by the President fof about ten minutes. Mr. McKinley asked the Senator about his pich fork before they parted, _ While the Hon. W. J. Bryan was addressing a large crowd in St. Augustine, Fla., last week the balcony on which he was standing gave way, precipitating him and more than a hundred other people into the street. Mr. Bryan was picked up ' unconscious, but other than a few cuts and bruises, he is all right and is continuing his tour with undiminished zeal for the silver cause. The following table contains an estimate, brought up to date, of the loss of life and property oc casioned by the present great flood in the M^issisippi River: Total number of lives lost, 200, total number of people made homeleBS, 150,000; total number of refugees reported, 50,000 ; unaccounted for but probably rescued, 100,00; total number of farm animals drowned, 10,000; total square miles of land submerged, 10,000; total damage to property, $100,000,000; number of men fighting the flood, 20.000. A man who may be a geiiius and may be a crank, with the chances in favor of his being the latter, claims be has learned the secret not only of transmitting one metal into another, but of actually mak ing metals grow, He declares there is a mineral as well as vegetable life and that minerals also sprout and increase like plants. He not , only thinks he thinks this, but . he likewise says he knows what 1 electricity is. Here the common sense individual feels that, it is ( time to draw the line on this tremendous inventor, for tre- ] medous he is, even though it be j only stories he ii.vents. He says | he has succeeded in growing gold from clay. Are we in sight of the , fabled age when dollars will grow on bushes? The New Pension Law.

In our school histories we read of the bombardment of Island No. 10, the historians all making im portant mention of it ; but none as yet have called attention to the fact that to-day vthere is no "No. 10." This has been true for many years. At one time in its history this island bore on its proud bosom several luxuriant farms, each one having a large acreage and pro ducing its quota of bales of cotton. But to-day, these thirty-five years since the great bombardment, it lies submerged beneath the Mis sissippi's inexorable waters, which roll with cruel swiftness over the historic spot. With stolid in difference, the mighty stream ba3 eaten away the fertile soil un til nothing now remains but a bar which lifts its head above the sur face when the river is low in dry summer. Just thirty-five years ago "No. 10" stood above the waler sup porting the proud works of the Confederate battery. This was for the purpose of guarding against the encroachments of the Union gun-boats, which were fain to pass by and get control of the Father of Waters. It had been the pian of the Federals at the beginning of the year 1862 to capture Forts Henry and Donelson and thereby get control of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. This was ac complished by Grant with seven teen thousand men, aided by a fleet of gun-boats. So now they had possession of Kentucky and a large part of Tennessee con sequently they held NaahviLe, Tenn, and Columbus, Ky., an im portant fortress controlling the upper Mississippi. * * * Next step was to overcome the confederates af. ; "No. 10" and New Madrid, Mo, an adjacent point, Batteries were erected against the latter and it soon fell. "No 10 was then bombarded from the river," says a historian "but tc no purpose." Pope could not attack it; as it could only be reached from the left bank, and nt. .'?bkr?. OU?; ?iC , -TIT tr- -L S >-.? .J (r-W ??it-rr iiiwU VW..? uunu me river to tne upper battery located on the Island, and spiked five guns and a ten-inch Columbiad, before the surprised garrison had time to rouse itself and drive them off. It is worth noticing that by thia little exploit the Federals accom plished more than in the .vhole two weeks of firing. Another dark night, two days after the above exploit during the terrible mixing of the elements, a gun-boat, having a float loaded with hay fastened on the exposed side and a barge of coal on the other to 'balance it, undertook to slip the batteries. The night was black with frequent flashes of lightning, and the rain poured in torrents. * As this Federal gun-boat came even with the Island the sooty chimneys caught fire and great flames leaped ou t, but those aboard realizing the danger of being dis covered, immediately had the flue caps closed. Strangely enough this was not observed by the sentry in the fort. However as the awkward craft passed the upper fort on the Island the smoke stacks again caught Are and blazed forth. Signal rockets arose from the Confederate sentinels and im mediately cannon began to fire with continuous volleys into the vessel. But her pilot bore her in beneath the range of the guns. Presently she escaped down the river. A night or two later, another boat passed by uninjured. "Thus the doom of Island No. 10 was sealed." The batteries in the Kentucky shore were silenced shortly after ward by the Federal gun-boats, and the Island was taken. T'ae Confederate commander, Gen Wm. D. McCall, capitulated with two or three hundred m< n ; the rept of the garrison had fled and scattered in the woods of the adjoining Bhore. The Federal gun-boats now had command of the Mis sissippi to within sixty miles of Memphis, by the fall of Island No. 10. It ?ras the key to the situation in the West, and with its fall the Coufedereracy began to decline. Shortly after the war the old fort or embankm?nt caved in, and before many years the whole island was divested of its alluvial soil down to the lower clagey ?tratum beneath the water. And now, standing as you may it the little lauding on the op posite shore, called "Bessie" and observing the great clump of [villows and cane through which the mad waters go rushing and swishing, one recalling its his toric past, feelB ooutrained to Itter with deep regret: "Alas! tor No 10, THE OTHER SIDE. Affidavit Made by J. Wm. Thur mond, Esq. The story of Solicitor J. Wm. Thurmond, who recently killed Will Harris, at Edgefield, has never been given. At the recent hearing of the motion for bail an affidavit from Mr. Thurmond was read as follower "Personally came before me, J. Wm. Thurmond, who being flrst duly sworn saya, that late in the afternoon of the 24th instant he left his office for the purpose of going to the office of Mr. Padgett, with the view of spending the rest of the evening at target shooting -as he apd Mr. Padgett had often done before. "That on his way lo the office of Mr. Padgett, he met Mr. Will Harris, shook hands with him cordially, exchanged pleasant words with him and passed on his way, not having the faintest or most remote suspicion that any truble would arise. Leaving Mr. Harris he went on to the office of Mr. Padgett, finding Mr. Padgett, too much engaged to get out de ponent went to postofflce with the view to returning to his office. "In going back to his office he stopped at i he store of Mr. Lynch and walked in without knowing that Mr. Harris was in tho store, if indeed he was in the store, for the deponent does not recall whet her Mr. Harris was then in the store or came in afterwards, but if deponent had known that Mr. Harris was then in the Btore he would not have hesitated co stop, for then or therefore nothing had occured to excite his apprehen sion that anything unpleasant would arise. "When Mr Harris came into the store-if he was not then in the store-he addressed deponent *tnd said you belong to the d-Till mauite party. J "Deponent cannot recall all that i was said, but Mr Harris Paid furth er, 'You got on your belly and crawled, like a d-dog for office and pledged yourself to support Tillman aud his party nnder all circumstances, andd-you he will* kick you out when you fail to do. "Deponent replied quietly. "That ie false.' Thereupon Mr Harris quickly jerked out a large knife and opened it. Deponent stepped back. Mr Harris walked to where another drummer sat and said : 'I have a d- good knife and a Colt's pistol in my pocket,' and came back towards the front door and out on tbe pavement, where he had a short talk with another drummer. Mr Harris came back into the store to a barrel by which deponent was standing, and fl nur sed his knife in the face of de nent. "With the view of ending the ..lk, in order that no difficulty or . nplcasantness might arise, do , ouent walked oui of the store and went direct to his office. J -TIT reatr enan n r&mrrjut?s arter ^ononeut reached- his office, Mr is and Capt DuBosa came y down the sidewalk which s *a deponent's door, and said to the deponent: You evaded the question up yonder.' Deponent asked: 'What question.' He ans wered, The question about the d Tillmanite party, and d-you, you ran away from there, so that I did not tell you what I think of you.' Deponent said : 'Will, what is the matter with you?' He said : 'You acted the d-scroundrel and stinking dog to my father. "Simultaneous with these words, with his knife in his hand, he sprang as if to rush into the door and assault deponent, and de ponent kicked him backwards from the door. Immediately and quick as thought Mr. Harris threw his right hand under his coat, and to his hip pocket, and instantly deponent fired. Mr. Harris threw his right hand to his breast, there being no pistol in his hand, deponent fired no more. "Mr. Harris's movement of his right hand to hip pocket was distinct and unmistakable, and deponent did not doubt tbat he would draw and fire instantly, hence deponent fired as quickly as possible. "Deponent did not doubt that he was in imminent peril of his life and that the promptest action upon his part was a necessity, in order to save his own life. "Deponet solemnly assures the court that he fired under unquest ioning conviction that instant action was necessary for hta own protection." (Signed) J. WM. THURMOND. March 26th, 1897.
