^leefield Advertiser Tl-OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22. In many parts of Rus?ia Christ* mas cakes are made in the shape of a cross. Southern Siberia is said to rival the Klondike region in its rich de posit of gold. Athens, Ga., has quarantined against Atlanta on account of Bmall pox. Italy and Bermuda have within a few days experienced sharp shock s of earthquake. - Comptroller General Epton expects some lawsuits when the income tax regulation goes into effect. Stephen Emmens, a ecientist of New York, claims to have discov ered a process for changing silver into gold. Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, will be a guest of Gov. Atkinson at a 'possum dinner in Atlanta this week. The death of the President's mother will prevent the occur rence of the usual New Year's receptions at the White House. The Cotton Grower's Convention adopted resolutions favoring reduced acreage and against cotton speculation. The Winthrop girls have been given a vacation until after the holidays, in deference to the small pox scare and other matters of less degree. A monument has just been erected over the grave of Thomas a Kempis, in the Church of St. Michael, at Zwolle, 426 years after his death. Miss Minnie Powers, of Lockport, N. Y., is eight feet in height, lacking one inch. She ie the tallest woman in the United States. She is handsome, in spite of her abnormal proportions. The South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church will meet in Greenwood next year. Spartan burg, Greenville, Chester and Orangeburg were in nomination, but Greenwood had the pull. fiS^Srmere of certain parts of Kansas are buying up all the broken down horses they can and feeding them to their hogs. They say that horse flesh is cheaper than corn notwithstanding the low price of that grain. Representative W. J. Talbert has been chosen to represent the South Carolina delegation on the Con gressional committee. Each state names one member of that com mittee, and Mr. Talbert was the unanimous choice of the delega tion, this being the second time he has been selected for this position. The mistletoe, now a favorite plant for Christmas decoration, was a sacred emblem to the Druids. It was gathered by them with very pompous ceremonies, and when cut and taken to their places of woiBhip, was deemed to possess many mystic qualities. Gov. Sheppard's first message to the general assembly constituted a record. It was regarded as one of the ablest State papers that had appeared in South Carolina in years. Sheppard made "more records" in a few months than did some other governors in four years. What The State says about the potential candidacy of Gov ernor Richardson, etc., merely 'goes to show that over such obstacles "precedent" failed to elect Shep pard. In fact, if "precedent" had had great weight with the people, it would have elected Sheppard of all men-for they would have been disposed to give another chance to a man who in so brief a term as governor had made his adminis tration notable.-Columbia State. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cares Fever la Om Day. Vaccine vs. X'I. Everybody down at the state .dispensary was. vaccinated yesterday. The office was full of employes having the virus applied to their arms, and there will probably be a good many sore arms today, and by Chirstmas time, the dispensary employes will have luxuriant arms. The work was quickly done during the recess for dinner.- Register. The best Mincemeat on the mar ket is Heinz's-we have it. AJEQ Heinz's Pickles. J. L.

Since the publication of the ru mor that ex-Congressman George D. Tillman had decided to become a candidate for governor against Governor Ellerbe in the next primary, there has been consider able talk and much speculation as to the truth of the statement. From all that can be heard it may be said that it looks very much as if "Uncle" Geore will make the race and run on an anti-dispensary platform if the dispenaery system survives the storm until that time. If Mr. McGowan goes in, it will be a three-cornered race in the light of all information obtainable a year in ad vauce. Governor Ellerbe has announced his candidacy for reelection. Yesterday a representati- of The State saw Col. James H. Till en an, who is hero attending th<^ supreme court in hie capacity as a member of the Edgefield bar, and asked him about the rumor as to his father's candidacy. He said: "I am unwilling to make any announcement as to my father's intent in politics, as he always does his own talking in his own way and in his own time, but to be candid I tell you frankly I am unable to say just what he will do I do know that he is very unwilling ever to enter politics again. But he is dally receiving letters from all over the State beseeching him to make the race for governor. I cannot tell you what his decision will be, but there is this much certain, Governor Ellerbe will have to cope with a determined opposition.'' When the general belief that his father was too far advanced in ?years to make the race, was called ?to Col. Tillman's attention, he smillingly remarked : "My father has a constitution of iron, and though 70 years old, his mind is as clear as it ever was and he enjoye better health than I do myself." He could give no further inform ation on the subject, but his man ner indicated that his father would be in the race.-The State. Johnson's Chili and Fever Tonic Cures Fever In One Day. Saluda Court.
