Kdgefield Advertiser TI'OS. J.ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2,1897. Whether Tillman ever got any sugar in his or not he certainly in tends that no one else shall get any-for this he deserves praise. Gen. Watts should be put in pickle aud corked down until war actually breaks out. He is entirely too bellicose for these piping times of peace. The trouble ia Columbia be tween Gen. Watts and the students was a disgraceful afiair, and a court martial should be the result, and should be ordered at once. Judge, the New York comic week ly says:^"In some respects the world is not a stage. It maters not how well a man may play his part he never has an encore." A new railroad has been project ed by tho Seaboard Air Line to run from Chesterfield to Columbia thence to Augusta. This end of tho line might be induced to take in Edgefield. John L. McLaurin has been ap pointed United States Senator by Gov. Ellerbe in place of Jo?. H. Farle. This appointment will prove satisfactory to all factions in this State, so far as we can gather. Senator McLaurin is said to be related to the Mississippi McLaurins, a family of which seven brothers held offices at one time, from United Stats senator, governor, congressman on down to euperin I en dent of the penitentiary. According to a dispatch, Mr. Hitt of Illinois said upon the floor of the House last Thursday : "I have reason to beliove that the President is taking as active and effective steps as he can to secure the independence of Cuba. A. B. Williams writes the Green ville News that'"tens of thousand ^ec-who voted for McKinlay are aching for a chance to vote for Bryan or anybody else against McKinley and the Republicans," He goes on to say : "I do not believe thero ever will bein this country another great boom or era of flu?h times. Booms - and. .Tinah times _..CQ2H$_ to _new to an old country basis and depend on hard work, close management small profits and tccnraulations by little and little for our prosperity. That idea can be driven into the peoples' head if somobody wi|U^|ttbV the courage and hor^^T^j^rive it nually shouting all ready. Elect ve it to you.' The truth is, no man or party or scheme ?will create any ? gen eral boom because there is no longer a boom basis, except in the South. Condtions, however, can be im proved." DISPENSARY LAW DEAD. On Monday in the city Charles ton Judge Simonton of the United States Court rendered a decision that gives the death blow to the dispensary law in this State. The following is the telegraphic dis patch : Charleston, S. C., May 31-Judge Simonton, in the United States Court, this morning, fil?d his de cision in the case of the Vander oook Lo., against the Sta:e of South Carolina, restrainiug the State from preventing the sale of liquors brought into the State. This, in effect, kills :he dispen sary law inaugurated bj the Till man administration. Under the decision any person may import and sell liquor in original pack ages. The decision is based on the interstate commerce law, the court holding that the right of im portation comprehends the right of sale. It was a Maine girl of whom the story is told that she refused to marry a most devoted lover until he should have amassed a fortune of $10,000. After some ex postulation he accepted the decree and went to work. About three months after this the avaricious poung lady, meeeting her lover, asked: 4,Well, Charlie, how are you getting along?-'' "Ob, very well indeed," Charlie returned, cheerfully.; ; "I've got $18 saved." The young lady blushed and looked down at the toes of her boot* and stabbed the in offensive earth with the point of her parasol. "I guess," said she faintly, "I guess, Charlie, that's about near enough." His Own Funeral. McLaurin's stool-pigeons, both in thia State and at Washington, are trying mighty hard to make the public believe that Ben Tillman unequivocally endorsesMcLaurin's appointment. We don't believe it but if Ben does endorse it, it shall not be our fault if ha doesn't know his own fuueial procession when he sees it.-Cotton Plant. Come in and see how cheap you can get 1,000 Note Heads or Bill Heads. a boom us and we viii gi Who ?Saved" lt. MR. EDITOR : I see the following in a letter to the News and Cou rier: "The Bank of Saluda is now as sured. Seven leading citizens have entered into a contract with Maj. W. J. Gaines, of the Augusta Chronicle, by which he is to work up the capital stock for a stipu lated BU m. Maj. Gaines saved the Farmers Bank of Edgefield, and he will have no trouble in found ing ajbank at this place."(Saluda.) Now, Mr. Editor, the "Major" may have saved the Farmers Bank, whatever that means ; but if it is meant to say that the "Major" brought this flourishing institution into existence or was its chief pro moter we deny the impeachment. That honor belongs to one J. E. Smith, who was at the time a school teacher in the Big Creek section. He induced the Big Creek Alliance to take np the matter and later made a speech before the County Alliance that was the cansa causar-A, the causingcause of, bringing forth the lusty child. Tillman, Talbert, Timmerman took up the matter along with Mr. Smith and the child was christened The truth of history demands this much of one who ought to know, and "If he sh on kl live to be The last leal' upon the tree In the spring" He would st md to that racket. By the way , are those "Green wood gentlemen" going to resign? E. I Voted in the Affirmative. That is, Mr. Editor, I voted for Mr. Gaines for the Senate and Mr. Yeldell for the House, and now that these gentlemen are residents of Greenwood county, I think I have aright to recall my vote, (with hundreds of others who voted as 1 did, and who would like to join me) and declare their election null and void. These gentlemen are aliens and non-residents of Edge field county, and are no more en titled to represent Edgefield in the Senate and House of Representa tives than bas "the man in the moon." And their failure to va cate their Edgefield offices is noth ing more nor less than gross bald headed presumption on their part, and demands the denunciation of all the good people of Edgefield. I understand that they say that the law as laid down in thu Gen eral Statutes gives them the right to hold on to their Edgefield offices, -;*. .moiiara -nAt-where, they live, seemingly cover their unrighteous and ungainly conduct in usurpiag the rights of our people, but there is another constru0??lJil t? u?'E&Hi, thelaj^ii*fnr?ch they rely, and The true intent and proper legal meaning of that law will leave the gentlemen in the low grounds of sorrow. And the law will be tested if necessary. No OFEICE SEEKER. Notes of the Rambler. MR. EDITOR : Owing to the dry weather crops are in excellent con dition in this section Merchants com plain of ti ade be ing dull. Every one, regardless of faction, is delighted with the appointment of McLaurin to the United States Senate. Mr. Ernest Cogburn and sister from Pleasant Lane are visiting friends in this community. The friends of Mr. Albert Wat son, of Ridge Spring, are delighted to have him among them for a few days. Miss Claud Johnson, of Donalds, is on a visit to her brother, the popular merchant of our town, known as "Jimmie J." Mr. E. Y. Sheppard has the fin est lot of colts in the county. Mr. Sheppard is a practical farmer. Misp Sarah Binns, the charmiug and accomplished governess of Dr. Sloan, will leave to-day for her home in Washington, Ga. Mrs. W. T, Huff, of Ninety Six, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. D. J. Proctor. Mr. Henry Williamson is quite unfortunate with his stock ; he has lost one mule and two others are very sick. The commencement exercises of Mrs. E. Y. Sheppard's school on last Thursday evening were quite a success. The entire programme evinced careful training on the part of the teacher and much skill and originality was displayed by the pupils in the rendition of the songs, dialogues and recitations, while everv part of the admirable programme was well carried out, yet there are a few pieces which merit special mention. The duet by Esther Boulware and Cleveland Cori ey was well received by the audience. "Shirt Buttons" by Miss Wissie Corley and Mike Smith would be pleasing to any gather ing. A recitation by Master Willie Boulware, "The Yankee in Love," was certainly enjoyable. In the dialogue "Aunt Susan Jones," Miss i Sallie Proctor acted the old coun try woman to perfection, and brought out peals cf laughter by her backwoods brogue and her ex cellent imitation of an old wo man's cracked voice. "The First Settlers Story" was recited by Miss Louise Coleman with excellent taste, and evinced much thought and study in its preparation. Ice cream and other refresh ments were served for the benefit of Sister Springs church. The patrons of the school were very much disappointed in having their school to close a month ear lier than was expected. Through the carelessness or ig norance of some bungling official of two years ago, one hundred dol lars mo:e than the portion due East Cooper for school funds was flowed to be drawn, and one hun dred dollars of this year's school fund for this school district was taken to make good the amount which was overdrawn two years ago. Rev. F. O. S. Curtis will li ld two services at Sister Springs to day and to-morrow. The members of this church have just purchased a new organ and made considera ble improvements on their church building. Mr. R. L. Williamson has just purchased a fine top buggy. We have heard that a nice horse aud buggy will go half way and Bob says he will make out the other half.

Since time immemorial red bair bas been the objeet of ill-humored jokes-just why no one seeme to know, unless it be that Juda Iscariot was thus endowed, says the San|Francisco Examiner. And yet, despite the popular prejudicr against auburn locks, ther*? are few things moro beautiful than a woman with such bair. Red-headed women have played prominent parts in the world's history and have caused many a kingdom to tremble and even fall. Helen of Troy was red-haired, and she certainly caused trouble enough for one woman. Catherine I. of Russia, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth lanJM?fldo tejL ?tafttt. Anne ! aud all aro famous. Nevertheless, it is a curious fact that in all ages there has jen aversion to hair of this hue* Red haBV^ijy?>H^?r^ the color of war and bloodshed, and the cruelest gods of savage races have always beerj adorned with red topknots. The ancient Egyptians were violently opposed to red hair and once a year burned a maiden of this desorption in the hope of exterminating or lessening what they considered a curse. In Spain, red hair is abhorred on the ground that it is "Judas hair." Among some savage races red hair is held in great esteem, especially among some of the Alaskan tribes. In New Zealand a red-headed woman is considered as OD the right road to paradise. Students of red-hairology say that a woman thus adorned is more cruel, brighter, more deceptive and more ambitious than a woman having other colored hair. What ever truth there may be in this, it is a fact that redbaired women have a strange fascination for most men and red-headed old maids are almost unknown.

A certain physician of this city, who never neglects an opportunity to study the traita nf the people among whom bis business takes him, hos been mak ing some observations recently that may serve as a basis for estimating the char acter of the average modern American. "I have to travel on street cars a good deal," the physician said in explaining his course of procedure, "and I hear all kinds of people talk. A short time ago I thought I would keep u record of "the words most frequently used within my hearing by people of all classes.
