Edffefield Advertiser Tl'Ob. j. ADAMS,.IDITOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13. The Democratic national com mittee is said to be considering the advisability of holding the Democratic national convention two or three months earlier than in former years. Dreyfus, the French captain, waB re-convicted on last Saturday and sentenced to banishment and im prisonment for ten years. It is said that he will be pardoned by the French Government. Columbia has a home fire insu rance company. It should be well supported not only by the city of Columbia but by the whole State as well. Patronize home enter prises and outside folk will have faith to do so likewise. When we said last week that it was about settled that Talbert Tillman and Youmans would be candidates foi the United States Senate, we spoke without the slightest intimation from either of the parties named but only gave the current rumors. The people have about settled the matter among themselves that they want and must have a triangular race, three contestants in 1900 for the Senate, as was the case when Mc laurin was elected and when Earle was elected. There are a good many people in South Carolina who are thed of Reformer a?d Conservative and want to vote for a good sound democrat without regard to past affiliations, while . there are others who will stiok to the old rack, fodder or no fodder. Since writing the above we see the name of Duncan meutioned for The U. S. Senate andalso an other galoot, whose name has es caped us. So it may be that the people want this time a quin quangular race instead of a trian gle. What we started out to say and to emphasize was that, so far as we know no one has authority to announce for Edgefield county *.bat Talbert is or is nota candi dato for the United States Senate, or that YoumanB is-that Tillman is, go?s without saying. ========== A Possible Money Stringency. New York, Sept. 9.-Frank A. Venderlip, assistant secretary of the treasury, was here today and conferred informally with some of the representatives of the leading banking interests. He declared that his visit waB without official significance, nevertheless admit ting that the department recogniz ed the possibility of a money stringency at this centre, and said that it will do all in its power to assist in case of need. Buggies I Buggies ! Buggies! It means dollars to you. Write or call and we will do the rest, at A. Rosenthal's, Augusta, Ga. Cotton Seed for Pigs. Speaking of fattening pigs the other day, a Yorkville gentleman remarked that the cheapest feed he ever had anything to do with was cotton seed. The cotton seed should be cooked, of course. He went on to say that one year, when other kinds of feed was scarce, he put four small pigs m a pen and fed them nothing but cooked cotton seed. He had them up about eight months altogether, and when he slaughtered them they netted from 200 to 225 pounds each. To feed raw cotton seed to pigs is generally undertood to be, dangerous. Enquirer. The Misses Marsh, of Trenton, S. C., entertained Thursday eve ning at their home complimentary to Miss Ivy L. Jordan, of Augusta. Quite a number of the young soci ety people of that place were pres ent. Games and other amuse ments were indulged in until a late hour, delicious refreshments were served and a delightful eve ning was spent. Among the invi ted guests were Misses Theora Fleming, of Florida; Lillie La Grone, Sue and Maud Qu^ttle baum, ot Johnston; Annie Long, Llyde, Lillie and Bessie Smith, of Trenton ; and Ivy Leaf Jordun, of Augusta ; Messrs. Frank Richard son, James Huiet, Bert Cassels, Jerraldand Elsie LaGrone, Wal ter Smith, Jeff Reams, Shaw As bell, Lutherand Jule Hart, Jack Lott, Claude Wilburn and Gatson Werts, of Johnston ; Dr. Marsh, of Edgefield ; Albert Doyior, of Tren ton, and J. T. Franklin, of Au gusta. We have managed to secure ths best and easiest riding Buggy for the least money, at A. Rosenthal's, Augusta, Ga. "Why did you place such a tough fowl before me?" asked tue indignant lady patron ot the waiter in a downtown resturant. "Age beiore beauty, always, you know, madam," waa the gallant reply, And then, woman-like, she smiled aud paid her bill without a mur mur. Buggies and Road Carts of every description at just the price to suit you at A. Rosenthal's, Augusta, Ga. Just Like a Woman. "There are tenn of thousands of ?people in England," says the Spectator, "who are intensely in terested in the question wheter St. Peter was eyer in Borne, or whether St. Paul was really married or whether Onesimus was really freed or not, or how we can be certain as to the line of popes : questions that really have little or no connection with the true content of religion, but which fringe the borders of the field of religious life.' A minister in this country was telling his congregarion how God knew which one's of his children sunshine suited and which one's needed the shades of afliction. "You plant roses in the sunshine but fuchsias do best in a shady nook," waB his concrete expression. He was taken aback after the ser mon by the gratitude .expressed by a lady : I never knew before what was the matter with my fuchsias! Through The Trestle. Columlbia, S. C., Sept. 9.-The engine and several cars of a train loaded with granite went through the trestle of the Columbia, New berry and Laurens road over Broad river, near this city this afternoon. Engineer Weathersby, Fireman Rennick and two other men are known to have been killed. There may be others buried UDder the I wreck. A car is supposed to have jumped th* track and the jar caused the structure to give way. There is no other way of accoun ting for the accident, as the trestle has justb>en overhauled by the bridge builders of the Atlantic Coast Line, and was yesterday j turned over to President Childs j with the report that it was in per fect . condition, an inspection {showing the timbers to be uew. I Chief Engineer Ellis of the road, said tonight that no trestling could stand the shaking this was sub jected to, and the fault lay with no lone. The cars fell over forty feet. [ Two of the men killed were young negroes who were stealing aride across the river. While the trestle is being rebuilt, I the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens road will use the tracks of the Southern from Newberry to Columbia. The engineer and fierman were carried down in Iheir engine. The fall was so sudden that neither moved from his post and they met instant death. I ABright Future For The South. There ia a marked diff?rence in the South of today from that of thirty years ago. We have our schools, colleges and numerous large manufacturing enterprises and are in a state of prosperity, and our fair Southland is destined to be the land of thrift and pro sperity. Many towns are forming Village Improvement Associations, for improving the streets and painting and whitewashing the old [ anisightly buildings. Now this is aplicable to your caRe. If your buildings are not painted, write to the Southern Paint Company of Pinebluff, N. C., a new concern re cently establish. They are soling a most excellent paint at moderate rates to people in the South. Dfatttetftc u BAN ?1L *aM r SQ Wt Vi 9 Cota, Bunt, Braises, Ehra aiatism and Sores. Price, 25 cents. For sale by G. L.

Those who like to pet a folk that will allow us to profit by their work. Where shall they be kept ! In the orchard or anywhere that is convenient to be shaded through the heat of the day. Never under a dense tree shade, as there is too much dampness. Keep your colonies strong and everything is well that ends jrell. What kind of bees are best to keep? The Itailitan are the best we can get as you will find suffi ciently endorsed by all who have made a lifetime study of Apiacul ture. I dont think a man can keep anything on his farm of the same cast that will pay a better profit on the investment. Say be makes up his mind to keep ten stands on bis place at a cost of $3.50 per colony-there is thirty-five dollars invested ; at twenty-five pounds per colony he gets 250 pounds of hon ey worth ten cents per pound. He j gets ten swarms worth one dollar j per swarm, there is even one hun dred per cent on the investment j and the mother hives on band as j good as ever. In the above estimates I dont think ^anything overestimated. | But, I do know of better crops than this, I have taken as high as one hundred pounds from a single colony in one year, and I have saved four good swarms from one hive in the same year. The honey bee has been neglected worse than any other industry in South Car o lina. South Carolina is doing less to improve on that branch than any thing I know of in our State. Not because she has no pasture, not because she has no bees, but be cause she does not go at it in ear nest. I speak as one who bas had some experience, perhaps more than any other one man in the State. I have seen in the Augusta Herald two pieces on bees. In one piece he suggests plans for put ting on honey boxes, they were very good but he signs no name I hope he will oome again I would be glad to exchange opinions as to how to manage bees. As to putting on boxes all is guess work, just as the poor far mer is use to, he sees the moon just right to plant a certain field of corn, away he goes and plants his corn, long comes one of Gods plans to show him that he is God and beside him there is none elsa, and where is his field of corn. So it is in bee culture, thero is no exact pianito fall upon, but to sow in the morning and withhold not thy hand in the evening. If this does not go to the vaste basket I may come again. L. ?. W.
