Edf?-efield Advertiser Tl'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23,1897. Augusta, Ga., now boasts of forty-two thousand inhabitants. Mr. L. J. . Williams, acting Chairman of the State Board of Control, has succeeding in having released sixteen barrels of whiskey seized by revenue officers while being shippedv to the State dispensar}'. The sfamps had beet cut off; hence its seizure, D:r. James Woodrow, who has been connected with the South Carolina college. Columbio, con tinuously since 18S0, first as pro fessor of geology and other natural sciences, and for the past six years as president, as well as professor, will .tender his resignation two weeks hence. TJae wir.d storm of last Friday afternoon which herc in Edgefield did no damage, extended over the easiorn and western hemisphere. On t)iis side of the water it waB very destructive ia Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, and North Carolina destroying much property and many lives.] In France and Spain of the other side it-was much more violent and destructive, vhole villages being swept away. ' The re is a queer state of affairs over in Edgefield-Saluda-Green Wood, where Senator Gaines and Representative Yeldo)], elected frjm Edgefield first but now a resident of Saluda county and the second of Greeuwcod county, refuse to rosign thoir offices ?espite the eloquence and sarcasm of the Edgefield papers. These gentlemen evidently believe in alien ownership of offices. They will draw their salaries by way of money indemnity for territorial exclusiou, so to speak. However, we must consider the novelty of the idea, to original Edgefield men, of resigning any office. They may be able to claim the absence of all precedent for such a proceeding. -The Stats. GASTON AND SCRUGGS. John T. Gaston and S.W. Scruggs will be tried in theciicuit court which convenes in Columbia next week.. We have no hesitancy in saying that if convicted they should be? severely punished, no may seem in the eyes of some. "IN A HOLE." his newspaper is an enemy of tho protective tariff system, and Sena tor Tillman, as it has believed for a decade, is a protectionist at heart. Yet the State with with all its dislike for the senator and for protection, is not able conscien tiously to denounce his vote for a bounty on agricnltnal exports. The fact is tha*, whatever his purpose, the effect of his speech and vote was to put protection by tariff "in a hole.-Columbia State. A MIXED JURY. The trial of the negroes charged with the murder of Bob Glover near Latmer, a few months ago was the most interesting one before the coart this week. There are six negroes charged, four Hunters and two Blackwells. When they were brought up two of the Hunter negroes turned States evidence and made things interesting for a while. The jury in the cate was in the room all Sauiday night and until Sunday a little after ten, and the reason for this is plain from the composition of the jury. There was a Methodist preacher as foreman, one ciass leader and'two members of the M. E. church, one} Prsisbyterian eider, two Episcopalian church officers, one Baptist, one Seceder, and one Catholic. The wendernow is that they did not hang the prisoner on the first go.-Abbevlle Medium. Edgefield er Resign? Never* There is a queer state of things as to the representation of our neighboring county, Edgefield. Senator Gaines and Representative Yeldell are members of the Legis lature representing?| Edgefield County, but Mr. Gaines lives in Saluda County and Mr Yeldell in Green wood. The newspapers are proding them up about it, but to no avail, for no one ever heard of an Edgefield man resigning au office. There is no precedent for such a thing.-Aiken Recorder.) Boss (to clerk applying for a job)-Married orsiugle? Clerk-Single. Boss-Sorry ; I only take married men as clerks. Clerk-Why? Boss-Because they' re not in such a hurry to get home at nigh t. Twinkles. "Mortals want but little here be low" after Fox, Marsh & Co. and Dr. Berkan each write you one time in the 2 D's, "drugs and drinks." THE GREENWOOD GENTLE MEN. The proposition of our corres respondent "Redcliffe" to cali a mass meeting of our citizens to try those "Greenwood gentlemen," who claim the right to represent Edgefield county, for "recalci trancy" is a good one, but unfor tunately for us Edgefield county voters cannot get at the "Green woad gentlemen" with their votes. They are not of us now, and we cannot have the opportunity to vote "agin 'em ;" but if ihay give ?ny credence to the saying that "the voice of the people is the voice of God," they had better step down and out, for the people are cer tainly talking out loud. * ? * "When the people complaiu the people are always right." This is what the great French orator used m say, and if he is right, then the "Greenwood gentlemen are wrong -that is all. * * * The very spirit and essence of the constitution of this State and of the United States ie that, one who claims lo represent a people or a section must live in such sec tion, be of and among such peo ple. This 'C so plainly taught that the wayfaring man, even though a fool, need not err therein. We do not mean to intimate that the "Greenwood gentlemen" are fools -neither are the people. * * * The question presetted to the "Greenwood gentlemen," who claim to represent Edgefield coun ty, is not one of "can," but one of "ought." not whether they can hold their oiric*?, but whether they "ought" in good conscience to do 30. JOHN GARY INTER Vf E WED. The ADVERTISKF: has never been classed as a John Gary Evans pa per, but we must say his head in nearer the level line than eiiher Tillman or McLaurin on the tariff question. On this matter, and es pecially the idea of protection for cotton, he speaks as follows, which we clip from the Washington Post : "Are the democrats of South Carolina pleased with the id*a of protection for raw materials pro duced iu the South-cotton, for ex ample?" "No, for th^y look on the im position of a tax on raw colton as ?. deliberate attempt to fool Ihe farmers. Our people cannot be humbugged with such a transpar ent piece of trickery. It is an in salt to their intelligence. It is, farmer in 'South Carolina who doesn't understand that a duty of 20 per cent, bu colton will not have the least effect in bringing him a better price for what he pro daces. A few negroes on the coast raise a small amount of sea island cotton. As a matter of fact, the foreign cotton hasn't the slightest influence in regulating the price of the home product, for it isn't in ccmpetiou with that grown over here." As to his candidacy for the Uni ted States Senate and Judge Si montou's dispensary decision, Gov. Evans says: On being asked by a Post report er, at the Raleigh, yesterday, whether he had any intention of entering the field as a candidate for United States Senator, ex Governor John Gary Evans, of South Carolina, said: "As to that I have not made up my mir The weather is too hot down our way to think much about politics. There is no doubt, however, that there v. ill be a big enough crop of aspirants to make a lively contest. There will be at least half a dozen entries, and the man who wins will havo no walkover." "What effect will Judge Simon too's late ruling have on the dis pensary law?" "Its effoct cannot but be hurt ful as have all the Federal Court decisions. I uotice that a store has been opened in Charleston for the sale of liquors in original packages, which is the direct result of Juge Simon ton's decision. The matter, however, will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, and I am hopeful that the right of the State to uphold the dispensary system will be maintained. Even if the 'original package establish ments are allowed to operate they will not prevent the State from maintaining the dispensaries. If the United States Courts would let ns alono the system would ulti mately prove a success." Toe Lash. Applied To a White Man. Greenville, June 16.-On Friday Jim Scott, white, who lives on the farm of Ed Earle, below the city, went to Traveler's Rest, west of tho city and while there grossly insul ted the wife of John March Banks, a prominent farmer in tha'; section. On Sunday night a bou 200 meu collected and rode down to Scott's house, took bim out in the yard, ?tr?ppec1 him aud gave him an unmerciful beatiug, and: then served notice on him that if he did not leave the county inj 24 hours no would bo lynched. A1 guard remained to sea tba4, he, obeyed the order. He left the! same night. Scott was a former resident of tb is county, but has lived for several years ?n Texas, where ho became demoralized.

C., The subject of my story is the School Law written and unwritten, and being a lawyer myself I am presumed to know the law, like all other men,- for the law is plain that "ignorance of the law excuses no man;" andi suppose this idea takes in what we call the school law, written and unwritten. The first school that was ever estab lished was way back yonder where the memory of man or tradition "runneth not to the contrary," and when the first law was applied to the school, we haye not been i?ble to find after walk around with the lamp of Diogenes in our reseaches through the dim corri dors of ancient mythology or history, so if I am not right, I am the subject of correction here and now. The first school was established many, many years before Christ, be fore Genesis was written by Moses, on the banks of the Ganges by the Hin doos, and the first school law was pass ed and written, I suppose, oifthe tablet of the mind and disposition of some early Hindoo teacher. I would have to read a library full of books to give you all the information about the pro gress of schools and what they haye done since they were established. Suf fice it to say, the day school and the Sunday-school were established before houses were built and are only limited in their progress aud usefulness by human thouget and action. The old saying that "you can judge of a coun try by its churches and school houses is as true now as it ever was, and when COL. WILHELM it becomes to be untrue ''Ichabod" will be written on the door facings of ev ery home, not only in this, but In ev? every land. The people make the schools of a community as well as the schools make the people. Parentage govern ment of the school ha- a great deal to do with their successful progress. The least appearance of parentage in the school house, you see, except as "the power behind the throne"-the united power, the one idea power, nota grum bling power, fault-finding, a miscella neous know-all power-the better. "When the right man in the right place" is had let him him rule in pa tience, moderation and godliness, with the subdued, silent consent of parent and children, and there will be noth ing heard from the watchman of th?? day or night in any neighborhood but that "all is well." The schcol has the task of Hercules to perform, and that task was, as you know, twelve of the most impossible undertakings of man Thc Pensions. Comptroller General Norton states that he cannot have the pension lists ready before August 1. That is the earliest possible time at which the lists can be arranged and prepared, The county lists have to be sent back almost daily for correction, but the num ber has been materially increased. In this connection it may be stated that the pension fund is $100,000, but is provided for by the ap propriation aud the contemplated deficiency will have no effect on the pensioners. They will get their money as soon as the lists are prop perlymade out. Why take Johnson's Chili & Fever Tonic? Because it cures the most stubborn jase of Fever in ON ED AY. An Effective Modo jf Watering Plants. - Sink an ordinary flower pot two or three inches in the ground near tho plant to be watered, first in th * bottom of tho bole a handful of trash to enlarge the surface for absorption. Then pour tho pot full of water, and it will be gradually absorbed through the hole in the bottom of the pot, and without wetting at all the surface of the ground. The size of the pot will have to be governed by the size and requirements of \b? plant to be wafered. A gallon pot betveen each couple of tomato plants in a row serves the purpose well.-[C. N. Featheistou, Georgia. Time to bury the hatchet is be fore bl )od is found upon it. li H. FOLK'S SPEECH, eachers' Institute at June 22nd, 1897. . . on this earth, in trying toshape and control the Utile petty prejudices, the little sickening bickerings, the little low and mean envies and jealousies tbftt grow up like so many mushrooms in a night in the minds and hearts of uneducated peo ple. Like the seed that fell on the rocky ground in the Scriptures, the mind and heart of unenlightened people are too often wont to be like rocks, but the day is fast coming when these stony minds and hearts will melt and the plow-share of human and divine thought will sink deep therein and they will bring forth the fruits and the flowers of human civilization. In my day-not exceeding thirty years ago-one of the chief .instru ments of instruction in the old field school house was the hickory or black gum switch, which is called in the Good Book the "rod," and it was used, as the Scriptures say, not "sparingiy" either, on boys or girls. Well do I remember, and for fear it may not go down to history I will say, the day when a little black-bearded fellow from Georgia by the name of Waddell (they were not called profes sors in those days, and scarcely mis ters) the first school teacher that ever drew the "rod" over my flesh and the first one called teacher that I ever ut tered those ugly words to in childish tones "Ab" and "Ba"; and whom I feared asno human being ever feared another, and at whose school, of. nine months duration, I never learned the HAYNE FOLK. art of putting two letters together, and upon whose head, with another boy in the same class, the malediction rested of being two of the biggest dunces he had ever taught. I wont mention the name of the other boy,for I have got too much respect for him. This selfsame Waddell issued this proclamation, and made it the law of his school "That any boy who had his hair standing straight upon his bead the next morning he would whip him within an inch of his life." * * ? . Just think, three hundred years ago a Koyal Governor, bv the name of Berke ley, said when asked what he was do ing in his government for popular education, he was such a foe to it, he said: "That learning brought dis obedience and sects into the world, and printing has divulged them and libels the best government." "God help us from both," said' he; I but instead of h?? conduct and speech being a downfall to them, it seemed to be a stimulus. * * * * A Negro Shot. BIG CREEK, S. C., Jut.e 14.-On yesterday George Satterwhite, a negro, was shot and probably fa tally wounded by CrawfordGnffith, a white man. Griffith, who lives on Mr. Giles Chapman's place, had taken up a cow belonging to Sat terwitp, who went for the cow threatening to give Griffith a beat! ing. He walked into Griffith's yard and told him he had come to beat him for laking up his cow. Saying this, he threw a rock at Griffith, which struck him, knock ing him down and breaking two of his ribs. Griffith arose and fired a forty-four calibre pistol at Sat terwhite, tiie ball taking effect in Ibo abdomen. Dr. S. M. Pitt's who attended I he negro, thinks he will die. Satterwhile is about 25 years old and is looked upon as a dangerous negro. Mr. Griffith is about GO years of nge, a bachelor, and a man of good character.
