"Ede ef ield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8. i?ininiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiniuiiiniiiiiiiiaui? ?LOCALAND PERSONAL.? iiuin?iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiii?iiiiiiiuiiiiiiniiiiiiiiuHR Mr. Campbell will have Graham bread this week. "We want the news from jour part j of the country. Send it in. About the worst joke a woman can play on a man is to marry him. Cotton went up to 6|?c in Augusta, and stands steady at that figure. A woman can sharpen a pencil about as quick as a man can thread a needle. We will publish Mr. L. J. Wilhams' defence of the dispensary law next week. Solicitor Thurmond will remain in Columbia during the session of the legislature. Cotton goods continue to advance, much to the de.'ight of the Edgefield Cotton Mills. A wealthy syndicate of Northern Capitalists will rebuild the Highland Park Hotel at Aiken. .Augusta is to be made a permanent camp, and twenty thousand moresol . diera are to be sent there. Mr. Motte C. Parker sold seventy-five bales of cotton to the cotton factory one day of last week for6}gC. The contract for building the Black Diamond railroad has been let to Col. A. E. Boone for fifty million dollars. Mr. H. A. Smith is now buying cot ton for the Edgefield Cotton Factory, j See advertisement in another column. < The season at Aiken is unusually J brilliant this winter. Gol. is the pop- , ular amusement of the fashionables, when the weather permits. , More rain m the month of January ! just past than was the average for five ' years in that month, according to Weather Phophet C. A. Long, and it is 1 still at it. ' . . j The Edgefield Cotton Mills are to be i doubled in- site of building and ca- < pacityof output.'-This work is to be- ; gin as soon as the weather will per- < .mit. l Gen. M. C. Butler is to be retained in the United States army as Major ? General with headquarters at Wash ington. President McKinley can't get , > along without him. The bocks of registration this year ire open on every salesday in the year. So if you wish to register you must do so on the days named; there are no others. One Dr. Kaufman, of New York, has discovered that the"telephone is re ...-?jionsible for the spread of the grip. He sas made exhaustive investigation and gives out the information as posi ti ve and conclusive. "*H|BBKfir. - Rudyard Kipling's moral battle hymn "Take up the white'man's- bur den" like the English drum be?'t will ring round this old world of ours. We shall publish this inspiring bit of woid painting soon, but those of our readers who cannot wait will find it in McLure's for February. Up-to-date Chattel Mortgages. Liens Titles to Real Estate, etc., for sale at ' this office. Do not ask us for "Billy Sales," we do not keep them now. They are no good, having been rele gated to the limbo of the dusty and musty past, or rather to the "LIMBUS FATCORI'M"-paradise of fools. . . Mr. Beauregard Timmons has bought a-lot from Mr A. J. Norris* on Norris Avenue, joining the Butler lot, upon which he will in the early spring erect a thousand dollar cottage. Let the good work go on ! Mr. Frank Timmons of Johnston is to bo the architect and builder. There seems to be some opposition to Mr. Evans' house bill to authorize the county commissioners of Edgefield county to borrow eighteen thousand dollars. This opposition is certainly ill-advised and should have no weight with th? members of the House. Edge field county wants this bill passed. Mr. David Glover started from his home on the west side to Edgefield on Monday of this week in a buggy. At Mr. Joe Mays' he abandoned his buggy and borrowed a saddle from Joe and came to town on horseback. Joe had but onr nan's saddle, so he rode in himself on a side saddle-and all this is on account of the roads. ' Iwo horses, poor old rips who had served the:r day and gen?ration to the best of their ken. fell fiat on our streets on Monday and floundered in the mud until death ended their sufferings. They belonged to the horse swappers brigade. Is there no law to get at such unconscionable wretches who perpetrate such acts of barbarism. Owing to the long continued rains our little creek. Beaverdam, which runs on the west and southwestern part of our town is to-day, Tuesday, a roaring, rushing Yellow Tiber. Prof. Bailey might with propriety take his history classes to the banks of this our Edgefield Tiber as illustrative of that 'ancient Tiber, "that llowed by the Towers of Rome," when she was on a "tare." It is a proven fact that calomel will prevent blight in pear trees, and now, right now, is the proper time to dose them, and the way to do it is this : With your knife split the bark two or three inches on the body of the tree, lift it up and insert from three to five grains of calomel, then tie up the cleft with cloth. During the past month we saw an orchard of LeConte pear trees, eight years old, that had never blight ed, and the owner assured us that cal omel prevented the blight and gave him fruit every year, except when the s fruit buds were killed by the frost.? Calomel is only 10c or 15c an ounce.? Try it. I will handle again tr:s season the goods of the Patapsco Guano Co., full amraoniated, etc. E. J, NORRIS, Edgefield, S. C. See advertisement of .Mr. S. Smith, Esq., in this issue. Mr. Hi is an accomplished and skilled veyor. Thc editor of a Western excha says he believes in the Christian r gion, he loves sacred music and the highest respect and admiration the true believer and consistent mi ber, but when he hears a man h who owes him three years' sub'-ci lion split his lungs "singing vJe paid it all," etc., he feels like fcrf ,ing himself'for the time being i roing over with a club and giving lelinquenta receipt in full. Mrs. Sarah Pressley died at Iib Spring, at the home of her sister, ? Watson, on Sunday last. The rema ivere brought by Darlington on M< lay on their way to Society Hill, -? Pressley's former home, where ? .vas buried by the side of her busba Mr. and Mrs. R. Ii. Watson, of Bid spring, Col. Davis and his dangin?

Mciver, of the Sth S. Reg't, was her brother. It is an c [nd honored name in the Pee Dee se ;ion, and of the immediate faun here are none of the name left.-Da ingtonian. Again we urge the importance, ye necessity, of a new cemetery. T space occupied by the present one small and has been tilled in. It is ve unwise to bury right in the heart ihe town, any way. A fifteen or twen :cre field bought now and planted pretty shade trees would make a go show in a few years. Let a stock coi pany own il. These companies p landsorae dividends elsewhere, wi lot here?-Bamberg Herald. And Edgefield, as to ber cemetery, n like condition. Some provisi' should be made and ?:I?.?IM at oiir>' f i new place of repose for our de: We like the suggestson of our co temporary to devote a fifteen or tw? ,j- acre field planted in shade trees such a purpose, and from a half to nile from town would not be too fi Other towns have associations of oil tens called cemetery associations ?ee after such matters. Who will she first to move in this matter of new cemetery for Edgefield? 'Kissing1." The S. C. C. I. Cadets have ei ^aged the noted humorist, "\V;:li< VV. Brown, to deliver his famoi lecture on "Kissing" in the Edg field Opera House on Thursda evening, Feb. lGth, at S.OO o'cloc! The lecture is full of wit, patho fun, philosophy, sentiment, mixe with common sense and good a( vice. By this pian the Cade hope to rais6 enough money 1 finish paying for their brass ban instruments. We hope that, i least three hundred of oar frieuc will attend the lecturfi. You wi learn all about ''Kissing" and wi also help along a good cause. Music of all kinds will be fui nished-vocal, piano, string bane brass band.

C Dear Miss Day: On Monday, Jan. 30th, a meeting of Columbia ladies was held at tbe horne ot Bishop Capers, when Mrs. Capers was du'y chosen President, and I Secretary and Treasurer, of the Association of Patriotic Award, t'.ien formed, having for its present objoctlhe procuring of a suitable testimonial for Lieut, Victor Blue. lt was decided that the proper testimonial would be a handsome medal. I am instructed to write to a lady in each town, and your ?amenas been suggested to me for Trenton, asking her to form a like Association to gather funds for the testimonial. We have agreed to name no sum, desiring the offering to be as general as possi ble-what each is able to give, however small the amount. We want a voluutary and cheerful outpouring from the whole state. We hope you will take charge. It will not be at all hard, if every place gives a little quickly. Please give the substance of this to your county papers. Very Siucerly Yours, Mrs. E. ?. Screven, Secretary and Treasurer of the Association of Patriotic Award.

Miss Day requests me lo secure this uotsce lo the public. Yours faithfully, H. \Y. Anderson. Sam Jones on Farminjr. The farmer bas always ' brought np the rear of the procession. I loyo to listen io the lips and read from thy pen of a sensible fame:- who gets there himself in good shape makes a living on his farm and who Jives well, and lives out of debt. The truth of the busiuess is, that under the present condition- of things, the farmer is left, and left badly. If tho farmer don't put more brains with his muscle, he is going to be worse left.than he is. today. Every calling in America has its convocations, its annuals or quarterly or monthly session, its president, secretary and treasurer, its periodicals and publications, its experts aud expounders ; but the poor farmer, he plods along from year to year until he is about done plodding aud ready to move over the hill to the poorhouse, or rather, if be is over the hill, he j is already at the poorhouse. I am somewhat of a farmer, and j I like to hear a sensible farmer! talk. If he can make a living on j his farm, I can make a living on '< my farm in Harlow county, j Georgia; and yet I am simply running a negro orphan's home j down here, for I declare that from j one of "the Lest farms in Georgia,! after running four plows andi getting half the crop made, I got 200 bushels of corn-the balance was all roUen-and four bales of | cotton. My corn und cotton com bined was worth about $200 at the top of the market. Mv State andi county tuxes were $355; SO I did; not make enough on -ono of tho. j be?t farms to pay my laxes by [about half, i would liku to seo 'every cc in: ty in the State organ ize its fannel s' institute. I would like for The Advocate,; iu its Farm and Home Department lo give all the information for ??thc farmer that it can, -nd help! him practically to make a success ! of farming, The mau who know;-}; how to do, and when to do,' is in ; position to tell us. The average farmer is so disheartened that he hardly knows which wa)-tc turu, j The present condition of things obtaining in Georgia has paralyzed bim. I saw our lax collector's books today. Tomorrow is tbo( closing day of the tax collector-j day of grace-and not one-half of the people have paid their t'axe?. Ol' course, some moro will pay. The merchants, the doctor and all others 2 will suffer as the farmer su Hers, I would would like to see all professions and all interests aroused in behalt of the farmer, turning a helping hand and giving a helpful word to him. lie does not need any cussing or j kicking. Ifthereisany classt?u' sunshines on that needs kindly wards and helpful instruction and intelligent leading, it is the far mers of this country, Let a man who knows how to farm tell us about it, and how io do il. .Some of us have reached the point where wo lind wc do not know. We admit that we are fools, and when a man gets that far along, he is ready to listen, and ready to learn to make room for our Spring and Clothing we are offering Heavy Overcoats, etc., be time to buy these goods. We you money on Hats, Underwear s Furnishing Goods. Come to see t our prices. I am sure I have sunk $1 AJOO farming in the last ld years, and I am willing to spend* more now in learning how to keep from losing some more. I know the (successful farmer is not only a possibility, but a fact. There are farmers making money, and the proof that one makes money is evidence that others can make money. But. they must know the "lick it is done with." We do not want the . politician in farmers' meetings. We, . farmers, are like the negroes-*-the sooner we get out of politics, the better it is for UR. One littlo jackleg Atlanta or Augusta lawyer can Lave a b?ll tied on his usck and every farmer in the legislature will follow the bell anywhere. Ile just don't know any better. I mean by Ibis the average farmer. A fellow that don't know how t> farm, can't hold bis hand with 1 hese courthouse rings and whisk\ - soaked politicians. Let bini vote, though, and vote only for decent, inteiiigent, upright members;. Let him vote for men who will vote off these appropriations that burden the people today with tries that are almost the confiscation of properly. The Advocate can help in ibis good work. It has l.eeu good help to many good things, j ..?nd it cannot now do a better th ng for toiling farmers thai: by spread- j iug its agricultural department on this question of intelligent farming. I know of no one who can help its preseut arrangement. I would love to have a-joint discussion .publicly ^ in the tabernacle in Carte'rsville, Ga., with a w.de-avrake fanner, him telling what he does know about farming, and me 'telling what I don't know ubuut farming. The contrast would make it interesting. But I do not want my friends to go to' the Le'gislature ' anyrhor?. I do not like the oompany they get in. Especially they must not go on the tempnrarace committee. Ono of the Stale senators wrote me that a saloonkeeper was on the temperance committee of the house. I toll you, Mr. Editor, we are going to remember something in Georgia. I honestly believe that we have bad the last temperauce committee appointed by 'any speaker of the house or senate of Georgia with u majority of that committee wearing red noses. "Little" as you think of it, we bave got 123 counties safe now, boys, and John Brown's hedy is still marching on. Of course, the temperance committee reported unfavorably tho bill oh the jug business. They did not have time to consider the State anti saloon bill, but they did have time to pass an act giving West Point tho privilege of going wet again. Wo are keeping books, gentlemen, and we will get to you later along. We are going to put some men in tho next Georgia legislatura who can lead this cause, and I believe if we bad had them there this tim? to have bad, we would have gotton what we wanted. Thc present legislature did so little that I don't think them for what they did do. fhe Alabama legislature is kicking and howling about being mistreat : I up (hore but we had the same gang that mistreated them, hired by the day to work f jr us. We aro the mistreated people. It makes me mad to think about paying >r;:J"K> for Slate and county taxes, and a part of it going to that gang. If they would do the clean thing, they would work for nothing and board themselves and then the Stale of Georgia would still be worsted. If rumor can be relied on, I do not see why more of the red-nosed rascals dc not die in Atlanta during the session. I -heard that one member w is drunk for 10 days on a stretch tbertrand somebody 'old me he was on the reception committee . of that Alabama legislature. Any member whose nose is. not red, need not take any offense nt what I say. If his nose is red,I ain't-going to fight, any way. I would just advise him to drink Decatur street liquor. That will gel him soon enough. I am not mad about anything except my taxes, When a fellow's taxes a e twice as much as the net return of his property, it is enough tc make him hot.-Sam Jones in St, Louie Advocate. i \r YORK PRICES. 3, 5- MART STAND. .
