Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13. LOCAL? BREVITIES. English pease have been indulged in by a few in our town. Some Edgefield spring lambs were sold in Augusta last week for four dol lars a head. Mr. and Mrs. James Anderson, of Greenwood, are visiting Mrs. Ida Sheppard. Beautiful new Spring Millinery at Miss Aycock's. Mr. Frank Fair, of the firm of Pad gett & Fair, has 1 eturned from a trip to Anderson. Mrs. Garey Lamar, of Beech Island, is visiting lier friend Mrs. James II. Tillman in our (own. Communications without signatures are not published. Correspondents will remember this rule. A Mrs Schute, of Denver City, has organized a female cavalry troop to fight in Cuba against the Spaniards. There was a slight fall of snow in the northwestern portion of Edgetleld county on last Wednesday morning. Boat Strom, of the Rehoboth section, sold foine spring limbs last week for $450 cash-a regular Klondike price. All things considered we do not re member any year in which the small grain outlook in Edgefield county was better. Gen. B. G. M Dunovuir, who*has been seriously ill for some days past^ is, we are glad to state, some better at this writing. A pound of energy with an ounce of talent will achieve greater results than a pound of talent and an ounce of energy. The New York Sun pred.cts that citizen Josh Ashley will run for Gov ernor of South Carolina on the "no culf" platform. Every week we receive one or more communications which are not signed by the author, and, under our rule, they go to the waste basket. MissAycock invites the ladie to call and see her new goods. Gen. Miles has ordered ten thousand canvass suits to be made for the equip ment of soldiers, as Cuba bas a warm climate and the soldiers must be thinly clad. Mr. John B. Hill, who has been quite sick at his home three miles from town, is, we are glad to know, much better at this writing. Ilis.'many friends hope so soon see him in his ollice again. Col. R. B. Watson reports that the fruit has not been injured to any ap preciable extent by the frosts of last, week. In some sections, however, the early-bloomers were much damaged. One of the notable things about the Cuban business with its rumors of war is, that cotton has not declined on ac count thereof, but rather the contrary Of course if war comes cotton will go down, temporarily at least. The entertainment of the B. Y. P. U., tc? be held on the evening of the 15th for the benefit of the library, promises to be a great success. The beauty and chivalry of Edgetield will take part in this effort for a good cause. Mr. John A. Mette, of Trenton, au thor of "The Way to Liberty," says that he is willing and expects to join the army for the invasion of Cuba just so soon as the Vanderbilt and Gould boys join, but not a minute before. The Congressional committee whose duty it is to do such things, in antici pation of war, lias about concluded to put a tax of four cents a pound on cof fee, which will yield $29,000,000 a year, two ce:'ts on tea, which will yield ? ll, OOO.nuO a yea A iax on beer and cigars is also on the programme. Pugh Jones now says that for the Cuban war all the Baptist niggers are to he called out first, because the Bap tists are accustomed to fighting on wa- I ter and this is to be a water war, Pugh further says that the Methodists will not be called out at all as they cannot tight on water. The disease that so many doctors have pronounced smallpox is said to be "Cuban itch." This disease is quite common in Cuba and was brought to Atlanta last fall by a family emigrat ing from the island, and thence it has spread to various parts of this State and North Carolina. Low prices, nice quality, nico assortment of Hats and Flowers at Miss Aycock's millinery store. Maj. Lem Corley. an old citizen of Edgetield, died at his home five miles north of our town on last Friday, and was buried at the family cemetery on the day following. Dr. L. K. Gwalt ney preaching the funeral. Maj. Corley was seventy-seven years of age. De ceased leaves a widow and a large family of sons and daughters. The Greenville Daily Xews has the following to say of Mr. W. E. Lackey who is Mr. Fox's successor in the jew elry business at this place: "W. E. Lackey, the popular jeweler, left yes terday with his family for Edgefield, where he will continue in business. Greenville regrets exceedingly tc bid this affable and highly esteemed gen tleman good-bye and Edgefield can congratulate herself on securing such an addition to fier citizenship." Dr. A. S. Hydrick, of Orangeburg, nn expert, has pronounced the case at Johnston to be genuine smallpox of tlie confluent kind. John Johnson, thc patient, is confined not in the town of Johnston but two miles this side, be tween that town and Edgefield. The doctor thinks there is no danger now of ot ntracting the disease from this isolated case. Of course we bow in deference to Dr. Hydrick's diagnosis ai.d wouldn't go within a furlong or two of the sick man, but all the same we do not believe lie has or has had sum ll pox. Mr. M. I. Hook has removed his family to Aiken. Miss Mary Lochleer, of Georges, ia visiting her brother in our town. The train that leaves Edgeneld a? 8.20 in tbe morning has been taken off as also the train reaching Edgefield at G.55 in the afternoon. The Edgefield Rifles are getting up funds to buya drum, one that can be heard from Beaver Dam to Moro Cas tle. The vestibule train over the South srn road has been taken off, so that there is no morning train now from Columbia to Augusta and this also includes the 5 40 p. rn. train from Au gusta northward.

The .Augusta Evening Herald is greatly missed in Edgefield now that the change in the schedule makes it impossible to get it hereat Edge field until it is twenty-four hours old Some one broke into Mr. Lackey's jewelry store last night, Tuesday, and took therefrom a number of enid watches, chains, eic. Two large holes in the plate glass front are yawning witnesses to the bold robbery, but alas they cannot tell who the rogue was. He will not escape, however. On the 20th and 27th of April inst, tickets will be on sale at the Cumber land Gap depot to the Confederate veterans reunion in Charleston. These tickets will cost $3.50 for the round trip. Connection will be made af Aiken with the South Carolina and Georgia railroad. The South Carolina and Georgia train will be held for the Cumberland Gap train if behind time. W"ASTKI>-The management of the Equitable Life Assurance Society in thia territory is desirous of securing the services of a man of character and ability to represent its interests, with Edgefield as headquarters. The right man will be tboroojrhly educated in the" science of life insurance and the art of successful solic iting. There is no business or profession not requir ing capital which is more remunera tive than a life agency conducted with energy and ability.

Each Should Have One. To find what one can do and do w^ll is an important item early in life. Each one should feel that they have an errand, a mission, some work to properly perform lo advance the welfare of humanity and thereby prove a worthy instrument of the ceaseless activity the pro found mistery of the Infinite Life working within and around us. To teach humanity health isa wortny cause. To win gold, fame, and love, requires power of men tail itv backed up by physical health. Narcotics (tobacco, coffee, etc.,) slowly disintegrate the nerve celia of brain and body and rob ?he valiant knight of this age, of his power. When the supreme moment comes and success is in bis grasp, he fails and falls aside among the many, because, like th?? common herd, he sapped the health day by clay, yielding lo the deceitful tales of habit rather than to the plainer voice of Wisdom, which says, use food, not drugs. Nature pays good wages to those who train with her. The makers of Postum Food Coffee have an errand to humanity. Poslum is made from the paris of cereals which contain gluten, phosphab s, and albumen, which are ele ments demanded by nature from which to rebuild tho gray m.itler in the nerve cells of brain and body. Ten days chang1; from common coffee (a drug) to Podium Food Coffee* wi ll make plaiu the errand of Poslum to humanity. It must be boiled 15 minutes after boiling commences, to make it delicious arid secure the good from the product. Substitutors drug their concoc tions to give thom ti coffee taste. The genuine pure cereal coffee has red seals and ihe words "ii makes red blood." Quinine and other fe ver medicines take from 5 to 10 days to cure fever.

I will make no trades or com binations, but ?viii run squarely on my merits." Such was the very emphatic language used by Col. R. B. Wat son, the sage of Saluda, yesterday in reply to the question if he we ie unwavering in his determination to enter the gubernatorial contest. It is generally thought, and wrongfully so, that Col. Watson is an enemy to the State educational institutions. In reply to a ques-? tion along this line, he said that! such was not the case. His educa tional theory is to build up always, totear down never. Help along the common schools; restrain the young men from entering State colleges at tho expense of the State until they are prepared. Lack of preparation injures the work of the college and deprives fitting schools of much support. He disclaims being an enemy to the State insti tutions of learning, and always voted for the appropriations tor each, but he thinks that there should be more economy practiced in these institutions. They should be conducted with ns little ex travagance as the denominational schools. The colonel is a graduate of Forman and is of course a staunch friend of denominational schools, but he is not an enemy to! State institutions. There is a de-! maud for both. Col. Watson is flat-footed for the dispensary. On account of bis well known hatred of the selling and drinking of liquor, he has since last December received many letters asking him to carry the pro hibition banuer. At the meeting of the prohibi tionists of Saluda county, Col. "Watson tfas elected a deli gate to the State convention. He was not at the county convention and will not attend the State convention, j for he is not in sympathy with ihe ?movement. It appears too much like politics to him. There is no greater prohibition ist (in the true sense of the word) in the State than Col. Watson. He does not know the taste of whis key. In his immediate commu nity he has educaied a generation of anti-liquor people. The white people regard it too disreputable to sell whiskey, and the negroes don't dare do it. For mau/years past, whenever he has disposed ot any land, there was always a proviso in tho title that should the purchaser engage in selling liquor, he looses the right to the title. Ho ran pome dangerous blind tigers away upon one occasion with a double-barrel shotgun, to empha size his commands to them to leave. In view of his strong pioclivi ties to.*ard temperance it would seem strange that he should cleave to the dispensary, but he thinks ''prohibition1' in the common ac ceptation of the term, means "free licker." The colonel thinks thal the State Democratic Executive committee did right to permit the prohibition candidates to enter the primar}'. Had they not been permitted to do sOjtheir movement would huve been strengthened. He says that the country is not ready for prohibi tion and will not be for generations to come. If the leaders in the movement are sincere, the proper way to accomplish their purpose is to first ?ducate the people to quit drinking, and then it will not be so difficult to prohibit the sale. That is the way he has been "If a price can be placed on pain, 'Mother's Friend' is worth its weight in poid as an alley' alor. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with cither of her other two children than she did al together with her last, having previously used four bottlesof 1 Mother's Friend.' It isa blessing to any one expecting to become a mother," sayj a customer. Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist, of Caruii, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga., th? proprie tors and manufacturers of " Mother's Friend." This successful remedy is not one of the many internal medicines ad vertised to do unreasonable things, but a scientifically prepared liniment especially effective in adding strength and elasticity to those parts of woman's organism which bear thc severest strains of childbirth. The liniment may be used at any and all times during pregnancy up to thc very hour of confinement. The earlier it is begun, and the longer used, the more perfect will be the result, but it has been used during the last mouth only with great benefit and success. It not only shortens labor and ler-><-'-9 thc pain attending it, but greatly dimin ishes the danger to life or both mother and child, and leaves thc mother in a con dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

Triumphal March Through Georgia. Every station along the route *f Consul General Lee's sppcial train lavished appreciative tributes upon him. - ne country for miles in the interior fuvnishei ardent admirers who came in carts, wagons and on horseback. Ladies filled the car with handsome bouquets, accompaniedby missives expressive of their admiration. "Where is Lee," was the cry from Tampa to the end and until he made his appearance the crowds could hardly control their impatience Whenever the general stepped to the rear platform outbursts of applause greeted him. Before reaching Jasper, Fla., three telegrams were received on thp train urging him to make his ap pearance so that the people could see him. Arriving there the local company of State troops and a ?core of Confederate veterans with a wild crowd met bim. "A thous and welcomes to you. General Lee, as a brave man, a thousand wel come? to our old Confederate comrade, ten thousand welcome tp you, sir. sir, for y jur admirable official course as our consul at Ha bana," said one of the gray-headed men. It is true wisdom for every body to take a thorough course of Swift's Specifio just at this Beason of the year. The blood is sluggish and impoverished, and the system is full of impurities which should be eliminated. In addition to thoroughly cleansing the blood, and toning up the system so as to avoid loss of appetite and a geii eral run-down feeling in :the spring, S. S. S. so strengthens aod' builds up-a? to fortify against the many forms of dangerous illness that abound during the hot slim mer teaaon. It is a very small matter to take this precaution bat it insures health and strength all summer. Swift's Specific is far ahead of all other remedies for this purpose. It is a real blood remedy which promptly purifies the blood and thoroughly renovates the entire system, tones and strengthens tho stomaoh, and renews the appetite. It is the only safe tonic, being purely vege table, and the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no arsenic, sulphur, mercury, potash or other mineral substance, which is of so much importance to all who know the injurious effects of these drugs. Nature should be assisted by na ture's remedy, S. S. S. Take S. S. S. and be well all summer. ^^^^^^^^^ v>~-t$r ORDERS FILLED REMOVAL. .??.?f.-. -B a - AJI HAS REMOVED TO 207 7TH ST., AUGUSTA, GA., Whore he will still continue to give his FEEE EYE TESTS For all defects of sight.

AND without making specirl medtion of each of its many popu lar plans of insurance, we desire to invite the careful examina tion of all concerned in Life Insurance to THE PROVIDENPS TWENTY-YEAR RENEWABLE TERM POLICY-A SPECIAL POLICY FOR BUSINESS MEN. Twenty years is a lo.ig time. This is true in life insurance, as well as in other business transactions. Nearly all life insurance poli cies are contracts for a period of twenty years. They are made so by insurance companies to supply the the needs of the insuring public When a man takes a whole-life, twenty payment life or twenty-year bond, he considers its cost to him during twenty years, and the settle ment which be can make at the end of twenty years. ^Experience and statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued longer than the twenty-year period. Men take on large lines of insurance from age 30 to 40. The e" suiug.twenty years cover the period when their farr il ies are growing up and being^educated ; it also covers the period of their greatetst busi ness activity, lt covers the time when their families and business in terests require^the greatest amount of protection. A man's requirements are not the same at 60 years that they are at 40 years. His family has grown up, his business conditions have changed, or the necessity for insurance has disappeared. In view of these fae's, The Provident. Savings issues a policy at a fixed rate for twenty years, which includes only the cost of protection for that time. The premiums on this policy are less than one-half the premiu ns charged for a twenty-payment life. If a man wants insur ance fe protection only, this policy will supply his wants admi.ably. He is not obliged to make a deposit with an insurance company for a future which he may never reach ; especially when he has need for this deposit, and more, too, in his business. To illustrate this Policy, we will give the figures. A man at 30 takes one of these Policies for #1,000 at the regular term rates of $14.91 per annum for twenty years. This policy can be coutinued, after twenty years, without medical re-examination, at'rates for the age then attained. D. R. DHRISOE. [SPECIAL ?.GENT, Jan. 24, '98. ' El >0 TCI^IEIv?J, S. C.
