Edenfield Advertiser Tl!OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, DEC. 7. PECANS BEAT 4c COTTON. Prom a late issue of the Albany (Ga.) Herald, we gather the fol lowing in reference to the paying capacity of the Pe-^n business, and publish the same as a hint to those who are sick of four 'cent cotton : . "At all the fruit stands of Al bany are the finest fresh pecans for Bale. They are obtained from the farm of Capt. G. M. Bacon, of Mitchell county, and are the paper . shell variety. Some ten years ago Capt. Bacon set out a peach or . chard and a pecan orchard. The pecans have proved much more re v munerative. He gets three dollars per bushel on the farm. The trees bear every year." TIE-UP IN OHIO YALLEU. JOaltlmsre Visited by the Highest Wind Known in Nineteen Years-Storm on the Jersey Coast. Columbus, 0., Dec 4.-All day terrific stoms have raged all over the State, particularly in the nor thern pai:t. Rain and sleet have fai?on here all day and the streets have been deserted. A special to the State-Journal from Lima tells of conditions ex isting there, saying : The severeet storm in years has/ prevailed here today, doing manj^ thousands of dollars worth of dollars worth of damage to teleg raph and telephone and electric light companpanies. Poles havo given way under the weight of wet snow and hundreds of wires are down and crossed so as.to]make them useless and dangerous. The city is in darkness tonight. Trains j on all roads are late and a rear ; end ollision between Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton trains re.sultey on account of the blinding storm.

THRCUGHOU THE OHIO VALLEY. Cincinnati, Dec. 4.-The snow N^-~^nres^fr?m this city south were j rendered afanost useless on account of the heavy winds. No great , damage is kn?yn to have resulted. A few dispatches received at the Maritime ev change told of a very heavy northeaster prevailing at the Delaware breakwater and at other points along the south New Jersey coast At. many points 'the tide rose to the highest point it has reached in years. The wind at Atlantic City reached a maximum velocity at 10 o'clock this evening of about 60 miles, stirring up a high sea both on the beach and meadows. Several private residences on the meadows were completely surrounded by water, compelling occupants to use boats going to and from the build ings. SEVEREST IK NIKETEEh YDAES. Baltimore, Dec. 4.--Tho most! severe rain and wind storm that has visited Baltimore for many j years prevailed today and did. thousands of dollars of damage. Sixty miles an hour was the wind velocity given out by the weather bureau, the highest for 19 years. The fury of the wind was not long continued. For eight minutes its velocity varied between 55 and 60 miles. But this was long enough to do great damage. Fully 800 houses were blown down, trees uprooted and poles leveled. Tele graph, telephone, electric light and trolley poles were blown down like so many ten pins. Large sections of the city are in darkness tonight, and the telegraph and telephone systems are badly ited.-The State. W. T. Yeouman, Luray, S. C., writes: Have used Dr. M. A.

The death of this high-toned gentle man and humble Christian, which occurred from apoplexy on Wednes day, Nov. 23, 1898, at his home near Littleton, Upper Richland, causes] general regret. To his beloved family his death is truly most; lamentaole, while the neighborhood bemoans w<th genuine sorrow the loss of a physician so capable* and kind. Like his D: .::e Master, he "went about doing- good" and noone of either race in need of his skill ever asked in vain for his ministration. "I was sick and yes visited me" seemed, indeed, the watch-' word from the Saviour's lips and incited bim to constant deeds of I charity. Though Dr. LaBorde had passed his three score * ..-ars, he seemed to have the promis of many more years of loving usefulness and his sudden deatli came as a great shock. God spakp the word and he was taken from his love ones without premonition. We commend them to the God of tlie widow and the Father of the fatherless, whose promises fail not.
