Edenfield Advertiser THUS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 7,1897. The campaign roeetingg opened at Sumter on Monday. Queen Victoria's jubilee is over | -the grandest event of the year. Abbeville rejoices in her water works just completed and estab lished. Prof. Frank G. Woodward has been elected president of the South College, vice President Woodrow, resigned. Lieut. Peary will in a few days begin another journey towards the Non;h Pole. This is a nice trip i:or Ju/V. W. H. Ellison, of Aiken, was cut in two by a freight train at that place on July 1st. He was a rail road employee. The latest craze among wheel men is to ride a "century"-a run of IO) miles. We would not select such weather as this for it. The thermometer registered 104 in Akanta last week. The hot wave caused much suffering in large cities North aud South. Southern music teachers haw* formed an association and will hold a grand musical festival in Atlanta this coming winter. In some parts of Florida the people are on the verge of starva tion, and appeals fer aid are being 8entto more favored sections. The South American republ.es have practically agreed upon articles of union it is reported, very much like thoes of the United States. The employment of colored ope ratives in the mills c' this State does not meet with favor, and will hardly extend beyond Charleston and Beaufort. Queen Victoria's jubilee last week cost tho people of England $2^,000,000, yet there are thous ands of homeless families in Ire land, a part of her kingdom. The Augusta Herald is a bright, newsy sheet, but rather unfortu nate sometimes in its selection] pf topics. An article on "how to eep the feet warm," published! in its columns a few days since, j was rather superfluous, to say the least of it, with the mercury shoot ing up into the nineties. Cbarleeton Mas finally abandon? \ ed horse cars, and the modern trolley now conveys passengers] along her ancient streets^ Au J, like Charleston, he** trotiey is ?wt generis-supj.^e'd with fenders, af recaution for the public safety) not yet adopted in any other South ern citv that we know of. Judye S i mon ton. has reaffirmed his decision giving the Agricul tural Hall to E. B.Wesley, thue? ending the controversy so far as j the possession of this properfy is j concerned; the State of South Carolina will have to find another j hole for its dispensary business or j put it in a hole in the ground. The Supreme Court of Kentucky has just decided that all interest charged or collected over 6 per cent, is usury. As a consequence four of the largest bnilding and loan associations doing business in that State have gone to the wall. These associations foot up over a million and a quarter dollars each of assets and liabilities. This Kentncky decision is right in the teeth of our South Carolina de cisions on the same matter. Which is right? We have read lately a call for a convention of the "fire- baptized/' sanctified Christa ns to be held -somewhere in this State. This is the higher grade of the higher life brethren, those who are away up and beyond the experience of any others and who have felt the divine | lire glowing in them until they were almost consumed- We have a suggestion to make-that some of these "fire> baptized" brethren go on and make an effort for one higher step-that of translation like Enoch or Elijah. We do not read that this method of departure from life was to b"? confined to these eminent men of God, and if the fire-baptized" are still liable to be again tempted and defiled and dragged down so as even to imperil- their salvation, why not make an effort to get out of this evil world by the chariot of fire? God has never said that this expe rience should not be repeated sud it would hardly be more wonderful than some of the ex periences which we have recently of those who have had the baptism ?f fir?.-Southern Presbyterian. Cotton ties ateo are on the free list. Cotton bagging has been put on j the free hat. Tennessee's Exposition at Nash ville is a big success. The Turco-Grecian war is over but the war in Cuba still goes on. The first cotton bale of the sea son has been received at Houston, j Texas. Augusta's celebration of the 4th on Monday was both loyal and royal. President and Mrs. McKinley visited the Nashville exposition last week. The Citadel cadets spent last week in camp at Anderson, where their commencement was held. Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, has appointed the beautiful Miss Butt, of Atlanta, a member of his staff, with the title of Lient.-Colonel. Japan opposes the annexation of Hawaii by the United States. Having whipped the Chinese, Japan feels big enough to grapple with Uncle Sam. ? Dr. Chas. Manly, President of the Furman University at Green ville, on last Friday tendered his resignation. Dr. Manly har been at the head of the college for four teen years, and has served it well. Another hard struggle between labor and capital has begun North. Two hundred thousand laborers in the steel, iron, and glass mills have quit work an?, there is a gen eral suspension of business in these industries. Severe storms visited portions of South Carolina and Georgia last week. A church was struck at Clinton, the lightning shocking the assembled congregation, a chuieh at Cordile, Ga., wa* blown down, and there was much dam age done to smaller houses and growing crops. The White House in Washing ton is not considered a sufficiently large or magnificent home for our presidents, and at the next regu lar session of Congress an appro priation of $3,000,000 will be ask ? ed for to build a palatial residence for our chief magistrates. Jeffer sonian simplicity is rapidly giv ing place to monarchical splendor. Twelve hundred barrels of corn oil and its equivalent in corn cake are being daily produced in the United States. It is only a matter of time wbenj?om^?l will become a strong competitor of cot ton seed oil in all those finer uses to which the latter is put. The corn cake, however, is inferior as a food product to cotton seed cake. CLEMSON COLLEGE. There have been two more deaths at Clemson College. The special committe'e of the State Board of health found that it was an epi demic typhoid fever that was rag ing at Clemson College, and will so report to the trastees. In their report they will suggest that the cause of the fever is from a spring that was contaminated, and that the sanitary condition of the insti tution is bad, and that the sewer age system is about as good as none. The troubles will all be remedied at once, as suggested by the State board of health. AN ARMY OF TRAMPS. Tramps seem to have taken the West. A dispatch from Denver, Col., says : "An army of 15,000 tramps is moving westward. At present it is in Kansas. It is approaching in four divisions, following the va rious lines of railways, and so troublesome has it become that the people have petitioned the railroads to carry them on to the coast. They forage upon the country until there is nothing left. The tramps beg everything in the way of old clothes, money and meals, and the inhabitants have begun to look upon the movement as A serious matter. The Union Pacific and the Mississippi Pacific have placed shotguns and guards on their trains. Last week a tramp named Bailey was killed at Salina by a brake man named Callahan. He was riding on the break beam. The brakeman descended and, it is said, kicked Bailey with such violence that be fell and was ground under the wheels. The tramps infest the wheat and corn fields at night. Such is the story told by Jas. j Wright of Topeka, a prominent railway and express officer, who ie j stopping at the Windsor. Tbf tramps will pass through Colorado on their way to th*- Pacific coast,; in the wake of the Christian En deavor Contention excursions. They ?*y that they are endeavor ing to secure work in the irrigated valleys of the West. What they ?-II do when they reach the coast is a question. They have no means and an a menace. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC I . Cures Fever In One Day. IBBY VS. MCLAURIN. Carolina Congressmen in Wash ington Were Interviewed Washington, July 1.-The ; announcement of Irby's candidacy against Mclaurin was not a sur prise here. The South Carolina congre ssmen all agree that means a hot, fierce, typical "Reform" campaign, and no member of the delegation is willing to go on record in predicting the result. Mr. Latimer saids "I am not committed, and I told McLaurin sc yesterday, I told McLaurin so yesterday, I have no concealments in the matter. If McLaurin's election means a combination to defeat Tillman's re-eleetion, I am against him. Until all doubt in that direction is removed I have anothing to say, and whilst 1 may be fresh in legislative experience, I want the State to know thai, what ever progress has been made in reference to the dispensary bill and whatever hope is entertained of immediate or ultimate success, is due entirely to the efforts of Senator McLaurin." Representative Talbert said: "I ha\e nothing to say in the matter, The mention of my na.Tie in connection witii the senatorship is the unsolicited suggestion of other?. I promptly decline to entertain it, and I don't eire to discuss the present situation at this time." Representative Strait said : 1(I am responsible for the use ot' Talbert's uame as a senatorial candide to, and I repesented the controli ng sentiments in my c< ogress ional district in asking him to be a candidate, it will be a close race in my district between McLaurin and Irby." Representative Stokes said.: Irby's candidacy seriously complicates the situation, irby 1 as great capae?y us an orgatiizer. He was toe only Reform leader in the state, who succeeded in harmoniz ing factional differences in the party, and has a strong personal fol lowing." / Representative Wilsen said: "It will be a sizzling hot fight from start to finish. Irby ls one of McLaurin's discoverers. He cousid^n d him at one time the peer of Calhoun and Hayne in ability and: statesmanship, and McLaurin's rhetorical efforts in adulation of Irby had much to do with his phenomenal political career." "If he doesn't flunk when thepinds comesp??id Mr. Sampson Pope, "Irby will make a great campaign ai d will be a formidable candidate." The impression here is that the at tempt to make the tariff the issue in the campaign will force Senator Tillman to the espousal of Mc- i Laurin's candidacy.-Columbia State.

How to make time fly-borrow money and give a short note at bank. Beware of the man who a'.iways dips his tongue in oil before he speaks. A man is called a confirmed liar when nothing that he says~ is confirmed. Steady intellectual work is good for the health, both moral and physical. The sincerity of the believer is not a sufficient guarantee of the truth of the belief. Our happiness in this world de pends largely on the happiness we are able to inepire. If you want to get ahead in the world do not lie abed in the morn ing thinking about it. If you give the Lord pennies and the devil dollars, you are throwing away your coppers. When a man s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. That m an's death is eaey and happy whom death finds, with a weak body and a strong soul.
