Edg?fi?ld Advertiser WEDNESDAY, MAY 18. MKS. BEL1X LAKE. "We clip the following account of thc death of this much beloved lady from tho Augusta Tribune. Many in Edge field mourn with the bereaved ones: After a short but severe illness Mrs. Felix Lake passed peacefully away yesterday afternoon at the home of her daughter Mrs. J. H. Carmichael. The news of Mr?. Lake's death will cause sorrow to many friends both here and in Edgeiield, her old home where she was so well known and loved. . The funeral services were held at the home of Dr. Carmichael, corner of Woodlawn avenue and Silcox street at 2 20 this afternoon and the remains taken to Edgefield for interment in the oid family burial ground. EDGAR B. KART. This highly esteemed citizen died at the home of his brother. Janies E. Hart, on Sunday afternoon last at 5 o'clock. Mr. Hart had been sick only a' few days and a fatal termination was not expected so soon, although th? disease, Bright's disease, was certain to end as it did. Deceased would have been 40 years old had he lived a few days longer. He was quiet and unobstrusive, exceed ingly modest and retiring in disposi tion, but there were no scars on his character. Hfs life had been smooth and even paced in all respects so far us can be judged by outward indica tions, and he was a consistent member of the Baptist church, though not a conspicuous one. His sins, if any, were of omission rather than commission. He was a good business man, con scientious and just in his dealings with his fellow man, but without parade or ostentation of virtue. GEN. R. G. M. DUNOVANT. In the death of this aged citizen, on last Thursday, Edgefield lost uot only her oldest citizen, but one of her most distinguished. During the seventy-seven years of a life that was full of incident, Gen. Dunovant filled many positions of trust and honor. He raised the first com pany in South Carolina for the Mexi can war, and as the commander of Co. A, from Chester county, he passed through that era in our country's his tory ; and after the death of Col. P. M. Butler and Lieut. Col. Dickinson and the wounding of Maj. Gladden was made temporarily the commander of the gallant Palmettoes and brevetted lieutenant colonel of this regiment. After the close of the war with Mex ico he was made adjutant and inspec tor general of the State of South Caro lina as a tribute to his general worth and military experience in that war. Upon the secession of South Caro lina and previous to the formation of the Confederacy, he was appointed brigadier general of State troops, but at the formal establishment of the gov ernment he gave place to Gen. Beau regard and was himself -appointed-a colonel in the armies of the Confed eracy, and this position he held until his resignation from the service. He was twice a memoer of the legis lature, often elected delegate to State conventions, and once a delegate to a constitutional convention. And yet notwithstanding the fact that he often held public office,. he was never a politician ; he could never stoop to the tricks of Hie oitice seeker, and what he achieved in life was due entirely to his merit, force of character and will power. In private life he was genial and : most companionable, though at times of irascible temper. His integrity was c f the highest order, tind no mau who knew him could fora moment ques tion it. Gen. Dunovant was generally con sidered an eccentric man, and in the sense that he did not keep to the beaten lines, did not do as others, did not , blindly follow the herd-he was ec centric. He did his own thinking, 1 passed every matter that came before him th. ough the ratiocination of his own intellect, and paid no man the tribute of making him his file leader until he had to hi3 own mind deter- ! mined the right and expediency of do- 1 i ng so, and that he was thoroughly con scientious in his conclusions lhere can be no doubt, and being so clear that - his positions when deliberately taken, j were right, he had little patience with ? those who differed with him. He could : not understand how they could be 1 honest. He was more apt tc take the [ weak side than the strong in any po- \ litical or other controversy, which ? was due in part to the habits ol' thought 1 mentioned, but iu greater measure to ! his sejfrasse-tive pride of opinion. , in matters pertaining to the soul and ] a future life he thought no man had ' the right to come between the creature and the Creator, and in his own case he considered it the height of pre sumption in anyone to approach him on such a subjecr. "I have long ?ince made up my mind on this matter," he would frequently say. Conversant with the Bible,as were few laymen, he hsd evolved a creed from its pages- ' and who can gainsay the right?-from j which he obtained comfort arid hope. I In hid last day? being asked by his de ( voted sons if he hoped to live again in \ a better world, his reply was, twice re I -peated : "Of course I do! Of course 1 ' do!" An un veracious Parisian news paper informs its readers that wheu the Vizcaya was leaving New York at the cud of tho visit made us after blowing up of thc Maine thousands of Americans stood on the piers and hissed. Brave Captain Eulate then ordered out his gig and was rowed to thc nearest wharf. Ile leaped ashore, drew a revolver and shouted: "I will blow out tho brains of the first man that hisses!" Tho dreamer who wote the article referred lo adds that for half an hour the Captain paced up and down the I pier, waiting for hisses from the cowed multitude, but in vain. Charleston Critic.

It was ?upon an indictment for playing cards in the woods, not gambling, but simply playing cards, lt seems there is a statute against gambling, but un til this trial it was not generally known that there was a law against playing cards. Mr. Thurmond secured a conviction and the defendants wore lined $5 each. Teachers' Institutes or other classes wishing an organist and singing teach er may address David S. L. Johnson, Edgerield C.

UI Regard this war," said President Capen of Tufts college in h is address to the students, "as the most holy war ever undertaken ; not for political glory, but simply in behalf of humanity. It is a a grand case of national self denial ;" it is ''not our politicians or our diplomats, but the people who"have placed us where we are in this war to succor thc starving and to free the oppressed.''

Negroes-The City San Juan is a Large Place -Rich Soil of the Island, Pro ducing Sugar, Coffee, Rice, Cot ton, and Other Thi ogs-Mineral Resources. lu the discussions concerning the banishment of the Spanish flag from American territory we have heard nothing about the island of Porto Rico, fertile and productive of all the Autilles. Compared with Cuba it is very small-not so large as the smallest of the six provinces into waich the former island is divided. It is only ninety miles long from tip to tip and thirty-six broad at the broadest part. The total area ie 3,550 square miles-one-third smaller than Connecticut and not quite twice as large as Delaware. The configuration of the island is different from that of Cuba. The land rises immediately from the seashore into a group of hills and mountains, culminatiDg in a peak 3,678 feet high. These mountains are covered with magnificent tim ber and intersected with lovely valleys, watered by running streams, with a deep, rich soil that produces luxuriant crops of all tropical staples. It is said to be eveumore fertile than thatof Cuba, if such a thing were possible ; but owing to tho hills and the rooke the proportion of the land suscep tible to cultivation is very much smaller, The chief products are sugar, tobacco, coffee, rice, cotton and fruit of all kinds, and the ara ble land is pretty well taken up. There are supposed to be very rich mineral deposits. Gold, irorj, cop per, lead, salt and antimony have been fouud, and some of the mines have been worked for 200 or 300 years with a profit, but agriculture has paid so much better thut the mineral resources have been left undeveloped. Tho timber upon the mountains is extremely valua ble, being composed of the finest cabinet woods, and is easily acces sible to the rainy season, when the streams are high. The climate of Porto Rico ia much more healthy than that of Cuba, and is as good as that of 'any tropical country on earth, owing to the absence of swamps, jungles and other lowlands which breed malaria. There is certainly no place in the West Indies ao agree able, as far as climate and tem perature are concerned. The na tural conditions are almost per fect. Yellow fever and other trop cal diseases are unknown, except when they are brought into the seaports from the other islands. The thermometer often falls as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit dunug the winter season, and never rises above 85 degrees in midsummer. The nights are alwaps cool, aud a seabreeze springs up regularly about ll o'clock in the morning, and goes down at sunset. Porto Rico is densely populated, the total number of people enu merated at the last census being 784,709, or more than half as many as are in Cuba. If they were scat tered evenly over the island they would run about twenty-two to the square mile, but they are confined in towns and villages in the fertile valleys and upon ?ho coast, while the timber lauds are totally unin habited. Ninety per cent, of the ' population are negroes or^ mulaf- 1 toes; at least 400,000 are pure i blooded descendants of the slaves j that were brought over from Africa by the Spaniards. The white pop- 1 ulation does not exceed 50,000- , 35,000 Spaniards and a few Eng- 1 lish, Germans, Dutchmen, Dan?s, j Chinese, South Americans and '. Canary Islanders. Only 96,867 of ? tbe population can read and write, and these constitute the upper and \ middle classesMn the cities and i larger towns. The blacks are ab- ? solutely illiterate. There are no schools except those kept by the ? priests, and they aro not encour aged. In the larger towns there ! are several private schools for the < rich, but there is no plae. where ' the children of the common people . can get an education. i The capital, San Juan, is a pic turesque place on the northern coast with a population of 23,414. Ponce de Leon on the southern ooaft has tho largest population and is more popular and prosper ous, having 37,000 peoplo. St. Germaine has 30,000, and there are two or three other ?itios of more than 10,000 population. The city of San Juan wa* found ed by Ponce de Leon, who, in 1508, became its governor. San Juan is situated on au island and connect ed with the maiulaud by a bridge and a causeway. A fiue high road extends across through the sugar , regions of the'eity Ponce. San ' Juan is protected by au enormous citadel, which stands upon a rock that projects into the sea, and ip surrounded by massive walls of stone and cement, in some places 100 feet, high. The harbor is at tractive and t!ie city is a favorite place for Spanish sailors and sol diers because of the fine climate and other attractions. The body of Ponce do Leou, who died in Cuba of wounds received from the Indiaus in Florida, was brought to Porto Rico and depos ited in a lead case under the altar of the Church of Dominicans, and in the main plaza of the city is a monument to the memory of that romantic seeker of the fountain of youth. The inscription reads; "This narrow grave contains the remains of a man who was a lion by name and by deed." The revenues of Porto Rico have averaged about $4,000,000 a year, but are noarly all sent to Spain. Not more than $500,000 is spent on the isiand, and most, of that goes to sustain a garrison of about 20, 000 soldiers. The exports and im ports w ill average about $15,000, 000 a year. A largo part of the commerce is with the United Stales. The poeple of Porto Rico are much moro peacebly inclined than those of Cuba. They have been fortunate in haviDg a better government. They have suffered less from tyranny and taxation, and the island is so small, the people -r.re so compactly settled, that they have been more easily controlied by the military. There have beau revolutionary outbreaks from time to time but none of them were serious, and the people have been kept in such a state of ignorance that they are scarcely able to tell the difference between good and bad government. The intelligent classes, being mostly Spaniards have been loyal to the mother country and frowned upm political conspiracies. The Duke of Veragua, a descendant of Col umbus, is a senator for life from Porto Rico to the Spanish Cortes, and he and his ancestors have recoivad pensions from the reven ues of the island for nearly 400 years.-Ex. Chaplain Bussey. Rev. Goo. W. Bushey, of Parks ville, is widely known through out the State. Ke ia a Baptist minister who is deservedly popular with his d-niomination, and will make an efficient and acceptable chaplain. He has been preaching in the neighborhood whert) he was raised for a quarter of a century, and hus seriad continuously where his paren!6, brothers, cousins and other relatives constituted a large pert of the church kuowu as Oak Grove. He has always taken an active part in public affairs, and has been chaplain of the military company at_Paskeville sT?ce'?tiB organization.: Last fall he went with the company in its uniform as a private to the State Fair, and attracted much attention by his soldierly bearing and gentlemanly influence upon the young men. He served as a boy in the Confederate army, and is au enthusiastic veteran of the Lost Cause. His wife is a native of Greenville County. He will make a model chaplain, and he will look after tho spiritual welfare of the soldiers with diligence and perseverance. His superior traits as an individual will endear him to the entire comand.-Ex. JOHNSON'S CHILL AND FEVER TONIC Cures Fever tm One Day. HOG ORDINANCE.
