Edcefield Advertiser Tl ! OS. J. ADAMS, .... - EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 26,1897. Judge Wm. H.Brawley says that the rumor that he is au avowed candidate for the United States Seuate against Senator Tillman is without foundation. Turkey owes Europe $800,000,000 in the shape of bonds, and the Powers, by their acts say that, for this reason, the Sultan must have his own sweet will with Greece. Russia seems to be the only one of the six great Powers to call him to a halt, else ho would have been in Athens by this time with Greece prostrate. In the event Judge Simonton de cides against the State in the Van dercock case we respectfully sug gest that the legislature be imme diately summoned in extra, session and a law made prohibiting the manufacture, sale or importation of intoxicating liquors in the State for any purpose wh ate verband fix Ji^s^^?R?J^iiTafty for violafilbrg the law.-Lexington Dispatch. Larry Gantt is catching it on all sides ; the reform papers especially seem to be "down" on him, but this is all wrong. If we are hon est in our demands for a thorough investigation of dispensary steal ings we must shoot for higher game than Larry, and save some of our vials of wrath to pour on such game when we bring it down. Let Larry alone. He didn't get enough out of the dispensary to do us any harm, and we very much doubt if he got enough to do him any good. Ex-PoBtmaster General Wana maker is not happy. He says : '"The country is not prosperous. Since the outset of the last Presidential campaign the party, press and po litical leaders, generally, fixed the November election of 1896 aB the date of the beginning of good times. A full half of the year has expired since the will of the re publican party was declared. Thus far but one of the important issues of the campaign is nearing settle ment, and hardly any noticeable improvement of the wretched times is manifested. The tide will soon set in strongly against the republi canjpart^njless the depression'of business is altered." Som?? of the Spar tanburg papers are unable to account for the" rea son why Tillman turned in no re bates from the Mill Creek Distill ing Company. We have an idea it is only an idea-that the Mill Creek Company had ? State agent m Charleston when the dispensary law went into effect, and that after the law became operative, all the Mill Creek goods were sold through this Charleston agent. It is possi ble that the Charleston agen o got the rebates.-Yorkville Yeoman. Our esteemed contemporary has probably struck oil. We imagine the Charleston agent got only a part of the rebates, however. But who was the Charleston agent, will our contemporary inform us? . JOSEPH H. EARLE. We do not feel competent to the task of paying a tribute to depart ed worth in the person of this eminent citizen, In our humble judgment he was not merely an able mau intellectually speaking for in th ii' regard he had in South Carolina many equals-but the purity of his character, fixedness of purpose, high and acute sense of honor, elevation and nobleness of mind, dignity of mien, grace of manner, inflexible adherence to the right as he saw it, an inbred and highbred courtesy, his splen did equipoise in victory as well as in defeat marked him asa man almost without a peer in South Carolina politics. These attributes ?and these characteristics made him "loved of men," and it is an admirable trait of humanity that bad men as well as good admire such things in their fellows. But we will not say moro ; his death at this particular juncture is a pub lic calamity, He died at the very time when according to all human ideas he ought to havo lived, wheu his State neeJed, and wofully needed, his services in the high council to which '?he had b"?n chosen. He left us, Like a summer dried fountain, When our needs were the sorest. The following tribute to Senat ir Earle is from a political enemy, and, when such comes from the pen of one not a friend, we may know that South Carolina jost a man among men when death claimed the knightly soul of Jo seph H. Earle : "But there are men who did not like Senator Earle and others who did not admire him, yet when they search for weaknesses, when they sift for evidences of anything per sonally wrong or mean in his re cord, they are baffled and disap pointed. In public lifo, Joseph H. Earle coerced his enemies into re specting him. His yirtuea were1 :oo valuable, too positive to be ig aored. With little noise, without parade, unceasingly his talents im pressed themselves. His ability :oul.l not but be recognized even by those who wore jealous or en vious of him or who in perfect sin cerity could not love him or call themselves his friends." There was no funeral oration over the remains of the deceased, but the pastor, the Rev. Dr. C. S. Gardner, who conducted the service alone, made a few remarks preparatory to the reading of the Scripture selections. His remarks were perfect in their appro priateness. He said : "We stand under the overshadow ing mystery of death, a mystery which no human philosophy has been able to relieve of its gloom. In this instance its darkness has been intensified by the peculiar circumstances in which the stroke has fallen. A noble and brilliant life has been cut short in the hour of its supreme usefulness. We thank God that there rests upon it no stain of dishonor. In it truth has not been sacrificed and courage has not faltered. Death has put a period to the career in the private and public vicssitudes of which there has been consistently maintained a bearing which suggests in the fullness of the ori^rjnrr)_,meaning that fine old designation^ -v, gentleman. He feared God and fearwvd^no man ; he loved righteousnes, ano>-^corned Bvery mean thing ; he trostea>^he Lord Jesus Christ, and waV considerate of his fellow man ; he gave his distinguished abilities in faithful service to hi6 countiy. He had a high and worthy ambition and rose by patient, persevering effort from the common walks of life to the highest honor in the gif tu of his State and died in the fullness of his powers. _? wishes I can not exte/nd these remarks. His record i^before God and before man. It is for God to judge; it is for vt's to cherish precious memories abd be stirred by his example to high endeavor, and in the sorrow, yhich we can not but feel, to listan not to the vain speech of man. but to the words of Him who tspeaks out of the unknown ana eternal with infinite knowledgcrand love and whose voice alone- can bring com fort and peace to#broken hearts." Why takje Johnson's Chill & Fever Tonic? Because it cures the most stubborn case of Fever in ONE DAy. "No Maa Can Serve Two Mas ters." Mit. EDITOR: The short article in yotr paper of last week over the signature of "Home Rule" we think very timely and appropriate, and meets with the hearty . . . ! bat iou of the people of thi tion. Of course Mr. Gaines, Greenwood county, the so-called senator from Edgefield, and Mr. Yeldell, likewise of Greenwood county, the so-called membei of the legislature from Edgefield, should both, "of their OWL- free will and accord," without any pub lic or private suggestions, forward their resignations to Gcv. Ellerhe at once, if they have not done so already. And not wait for the Governor to request them to resign, as probably the people of Edgefield ere long, by petition, will beg His Excellency to take some action in the premises. True, it may be said that although Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell are now living in Green wood county, yet they are old Edgefield men, and are competent to look after the welfare and legis late for the good of Edgefield. But we cannot see it that way. "No man can serve two masters." And should auy measure be brought up in the legislature whereby the in terests of Greenwood county would be' advanced, and which at the same time would be detrimental to the interests of Edgefield, cone can doubt but that these gentle men would support the measure favorable to Greenwood county and they should do so because that ia their home. We tell you, Mr. Editor, we be lieve in the good and grand old doctrine of Home Rule. And we don't want outsiders, like Messrs. Gaines and Yeldell, to lay the flattering unction to their souls that they are "the right men in the right place," when they leave their Greenwood homes to go to Colum bia to pose as senator, or member of the House /rom Edgefield. Be cause they are not. And the sooner they hand in their respective resig nations the more respect the peo ple of Edgefield (and very likely the people of Greenwood too) will have for them. We hear that our excellent county supervisor and one mem ber cf the county board of control are now residents of Greenwood. If such is the case they likewise should vacate their Edgefield offices. For our Home Rule doctrine teach .is-us that None But Edgefield Men Should Fill Edgefield Offices. RED HILL. But out of respect to^is known JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever la One Day. IOS. fl. EARLE NO MOSE. Death Claims the Distin guished South Carolinian. CONSCIOUS TO THE LAST. The Sufferer Awaits the Ead Calmly and Peacefally, Sur rounded by the Members of His Family-Committee of United States Senators Appointed to Attend the I uneral. Columbia Register. Greenvlle, S. C., May 20.-Sen ator Earle died this afternoon at twenty minutes after 5 o'clock. The ?immediate cause of death was Bright's disease, which rapid .y developed in the past few days. Yesterday morning symptoms were not more serious than for the past week, and there was no fear of immediate death. At 4 o.clock this morning there was a markr.1 chango for the worse and he wus supposed to be dying. Ho rallied later, and although no hope of recovery was entertained, yet there was hope that he would hold out for a day or two. All through the day ho had gradually been sinking, and it was only a question of i-t few hours when the end would come. His strong will power asserted ^tself and he rallied this morning, f During the day there was a hush yver the city, as it was known that the favorite son of this county Was in the shadow of death. All through th* day there was giving away auda rally following, but each hour the Senator was weaker. Never for a moment did he lose consciousness, but retained his clearness of mind and accepted the cond.tion that he would live only a few hours. All the members of his family wore with him this afternoon. Gradually he grew weaker, but he calmly awaited the end, never evincing any nervousness or fear of his impending fate. The low sobs of wife aud children who stood around bis bedside echoed the short heavy breathing of the sufferer. His breat og grew slower, and with his gaze sting on his loved wife, at 20 \utes after 5 o'clock, the weary, iant sufferer was at rest. The solemn tolling of th6 city alarm bell announced the death of Senator Earle. In a short time all the stores of the 'city were closed and citizens were mourning the death of the most distingushed citizen of ^Greenville. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. The time will probadly be made to meet the convenience of the usual Congres sional committee. Washington, May 20-On receipt of the news of the death of Senator Earle, Senator Tillman called on the Vice-President in regard to the appointment of a committee to represent the Senate at the funeral as that body will not be in session to morrow. Mr Hobart named the following as a committee : Messrs. Tillmau, Clay of Georgia, Chandler of New Hampshire, MoEnery of Louisana and Harris of Kansas. Speaker Reed will to-morrow appoint a committee to represont the House. The Congressional committees will leave this city to-morrow night, reaching Green ville about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Judge Earle was boru of highly honorable parents in Greenville County on April 30, 1847. His father, Elias D. Earle of Greenville, was a prominent lawyer, and at one time held the office of superintendent of public works ol the State. Judge Earle's father married Susan C. Hayuswortli, of Sumter County, in 1836. They had eight children, of whom Judge Earle was the youngest. His eu re education was received m the academy of Sumter. Immediately upon leaving the academy, he hastened to join the ranks of the Confederate army. In July. 1864, at the ag3 of 17 he eal is tod as a private in Charles's battery of light artillery, at the close of the war a part of Kemper,8 artillery. Though a mere lad Judge Earle did his whole duty as a soldier. At the close of the war Judge Earle returned home and entered Forman University, where he graduated in 1867. Liko most Southern people the family of Judge Earle were impoverished by the war, so young Earle had to make his own way in life. He chose law as his profession, but being too poor to study it independently he taught school by day and studied law at night. In April, 1870, he was examined for the bar by Judge James L. Orr, afterwards m;u?6ter to Russia. His examination being highly satisfactory he was admitted, aud began the practice of his profession at Anderson, where he remained until lc-75. He then removed to Sumter, S. C. As a lawyer Judge Earle soon distinguished himself, and had few superiors in South Carolina; of striking appearance, great eloquence and convincing reasoning he was almost invinci ble. Add to tb is a character with out a blemish, and one eau readily see that he deserved success. His sterling qualities soon attracted at tention and marked him as a lead er of men. In 1878 he was ., called by the people to represent them in the Legislature, and for four years he was a useful and able member of that body. Hk? lofty principles, his fearless discharge of duty,his great sincerity won for him a host of friends aud admirers. He declined re-election to the House in 1880, but was elected Seu?tor fr jin Sumter County in 1892. He at once becane the foremost champion of muny needed reforms. Completing his term as Senatorin 1886, he was elected Attorney General, and fer two temas filled that responsible position with signal ability. South Carolina hah had many eminent meu in every BR ii se of the word as Attormey GeneralSjbut Judge Earle won more cases than any Attorney General Si.uth Carolina ever had. When be accepteted the office he knew th?; duties were arduous. The lahore ol an Attorney Grei eral in South Carolina have ii ?ver been light, but Judge Earle, sacrificing hi* practice, devoted his time to his office, believing that as he tcok the position and accepted the romuneiatiou ho was in duty bound to give his personal attention lu every case that came in hin office. 3PH H. EARLE. . . With that delicate sense of honor which has been his chief characteristic throughout life he regarded his contingent fund ae a trust fund, returning most of it to the State Treasurer. No expen ditures were made bv him except warieuted by law, and then only in cases of great necessity. He invoked no strained construction of the law to save his own money and expend the money of the people. To him office meant a public trust. He retired from the office of Attorney General covered with new laurels and justified to the fullest extent tba estimation placed upon hmi by his most partial friends. In 1880 he had tho honor of representing his party in the national democratic conv'n. In 1884, he went as a delegate to the national convention, and was selected as a member of the committee to notify Air. Cleveland of his nomination as President. In 1888 Judge Earlo declined the nomination of Governor. He was committed to the support of Governor Richardson, who was a candidate for re-election. It was indeed a high honor and a terrible temptation, but Judge Earle preferred to keep his character untarnished, so ie kept his word and declined to accept the nonnnaiion. Few men have bad such a temptation, and fewer still have had temptation, and fewer still have resisted it. In 1890 Captain Tillman assailed with great bitterness the administration o?? which General Earle was a merni er, and though he had scant hope of success b? thought it was his duty to go before the people and refute the grave charges made by Tillman, so be canvassed the State, and in turn Tillman found a foeman worthy of his steel. He was unsuccessful, but his able and manly bearing won him many friends. Though defeated he accepted it cheerfully, and acquiesced gracefully iu the will of the majority of the people of his State. Juo.ge Earle then returned to Greenville, the home of his boyhood, and opened hie law office, determining to devote his eui ire attention to the practioe of hi? profession. When he was asked to advise the people he told them to cetiBO their quarrel, end their bitter contentious and obliterate factional lines. For this advico he waB much criticised. Howevtr, he W?IB a man of his convictions, and he had the couiage to stand for what he thoi ght was the good of his State. His broad patriotism and good judgment was appreciated, and in 189? he was elected Judge of the Eiglith Circuit by a Reform Legislature. As a Judge he added new lustre to the bench of South Care lina. His profound knowledge of 1 iw, his great courtes?, nis impartiality and rigid adherence to tl e law as he found it written won for him the reputation of being one of the greatest Judges South Carcliua ever had. Nothing is so fickle as mankind nothing so unstable. The man who was defeated for Governor of Soul h Carolina in 1890 by the people of South Carolina was nominated by a general Democratic prn ary election in August. 1899. aftei a heated canvass,to represent them in the Senate chamber in Washington. His opponents in the iace were Governor John Gary Evans and Mr. John T. Duncan. He was duly elected by the Legislature at its ensuing session, with Dut opposition. In 3arly life Judge Earle accepted the baptist creed as the standard of his life. He honestly endeavored to m ?asure up to it. He took his religion in his every walk of life. Free from foul, coarse speech his convarsations would never give offetsetoa woman or a word be ungi t pay cause a blush. His mnn ?ers, while courteous, were rather austere. His ideas of man hood were high and he lived up to thea. Ju Ige Earle was married May 19, 1369, to his cousin, Miss Anna M. Earle, a most attractive and interesting woman. To them have been born niue childien. The Christian names of thoseenrviving are Baylis H., Johu H., Eleanor M., I ucia P., Anna C., Joseph H., Lillian and Wilton, His domestic life -vas exemplary. He was a dtvoled husband and a kind aud indu i gent father. UNION MEETING. Th?

When urine stains Mnen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Tuo fre quent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are ou ; of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Koot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and tne extraordi nary effect of Swamp Koot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
