E?fcefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAN. 31. "NOT DEAD BUT SLEEPETH." On Fr.-day Dight last death came as a relier, to the gentle, loving, dutiful Mamie Reece, the idolized daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V . Reece, of our town, afteralo'ng, lingering illness of over three months duration. Wasted and lever-worn and weary, like a- tired child, she gently fell asleep in the arms of the blessed Jesus-and now the rest the joys, the happiness of Heaven are hera forever. Mamie was a bright and beautiful girl, the life and joy ot the horre, and in that household the de : voted parents and loving sisters and brothers are sorely, sadly bereft. And long and lovingly will they cherish her precious'mern try. And many, many i|the heart-aches will be theirs as they remember "that day-that lonesome day-when the little girl went away." "When the little girl went away from home Where the roses seemed so sweet We said that day, 'She has gone the way We must tread with weary feet.' Oh, it did not seem she could leave us so * .For ber kiss waa too sweet for the kiss of the snow, That day That day ! That lonesome day, When our little girl went a way." iiiimiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiis I LOCAL AND PERSONAL. ? ^iiiiininiiiHiiuimiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiuiiiR Cottot* is sneaking up a little now.

The * following preamble and resolutions were unanimously j adopted at a mass meeting of the citizens of Elmwood Township j held at Meeting Street on Monday, I Jan. 22, 1900: Whereas, A gravo crisis con fronts the farmers of the Southern States in the formation of a gigan tic fertilizer trust, known as tbe Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer Com pany, which has arbitrarily ad vanced the price of all grades of fertilizers about 25 percent.; and this we regard as a foul conspiracy and scheme lo rob the producers of cotton of their hard earned means of maaing a decent living by getting a fair price for the fleecy staple; and, wheteas, the cotton growers of the South several years ago, through the agency of the Al liance by unity of action, success fully resisted and vanquished the "Jute Bagging Trust," organized like the "Fertilizer Trust'" to de fraud and victimize tho farmers, and believing, that "trusts of all kinds are a growiDg and standing [menac? to the prosperity of the -farming class generally, and unless ' checked and throttled in their in satiable greed will speedily enslave Is the only place in Edgefii celebrated ' BAY STA!

DORI and reduce the cotton planters to utter want and beggary; and, whereas, we favor making common cause against a common enemy with our former brethren who are ?organizing throughout the South to crush this colossal trust; there fore be it Resolved. That wo, the farmers of Elmwood Towuship, in meeting j assembled, declare that we will not buy commercial fertilizers at the present exorbitant trust prices, aud we call upon the farmers of this county and State geueraily to join is in the fight against the exactions J of consolidated capital in the form of trusts, aud let us, brethren, make one supreme effort to secure just compensation for our chief money crop; and that reward, which our independent God-given ?calling demands. As a means to th* accomplishment of this end, we earnestly oall upou the farmers ueuerally throughout the Southern States to reduce the total acreage this year to at leant 20,000,000 acres, and recommend that the farmnrs as a whole organize in every township, and take imme diate action aloug these lines. And that we further urge the newspa pers to lead their powerful aid in bringing about a realization of the policy herein set forth, especially do we request our county papers ti co-operate with us to the attain ment of the end which will pro mote not only the interests of tbi agricultural < lass, but every othe: profession, calling and busines besides.

To the Taxpayers of Pickens and "Wise Townships. As we have been asked so many questions recently, and heard so many false rumors that have been ingenerously citculated by certain parties as to the litigation now pending between the railroad bond holders and your two townships, we feel called upon to give a brief resume of the present status. The first suit filed was that of National Bank of Augusta against Pickens township for bonds issued in Aid of Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry Railroad, a bogus con cern existing on paper only. But for the interest manifested by Mr. A. E. Padgett and other promi nent citizens payment would have been had by default. Under their call a mass meeting was held and a determined fight inaugurated. This firm was retained by the commissioners elected, to repre sent the township. Since the spring of 1898 we have been fight ing with many handicaps as best we could. We first bad to ask tbe Court to reopen the case, permit us to put in a new answer and take testimony, this was allowed by Judge Brawley after strong resist ance on part of plaintiff. Testi mony was -taken in Charle?tou, Augusta and other places. As all inferior courts are bound by decisions of superior courts we know in advance that we.would lose the case in the lower court and our bope was in appeal. Nothing that we would be able to convince to United States Supreme Court or the United States circuit court of appeals that they had applied law in their leading decision in the matter of railroad bonds to a mis statement of facts and therefore erred. As was expected Judge Brawley did decide against us. We appeal ed, bat under the Federal rules of court-the appellant is required to give an appeal bond amounting to $250.00 in this sort of case to be ??g'neU.l)y Board bf'County Com missioners, but as they were to sign in their official capacity, no individual liability would or could have been incurred. However on>y the Supervisor would sign and the ?TORE eld where you can buy the "E SHOES. agents, you pay no jobbers ie pair and you will always state Shoes as hundreds of M & MI MS. appeal was necessarily abandoned. Deeming it the best course, in fact the only one, we offered to compromise at fifty cents on the dol ar. The Plaintiff knowing that ? we could hinder and delay them for several years in the collection of their judgment accepted. Th mass meeting recently he'd here sent Mr. A. E. Padgett to Colum bia to calculate the indebtedness that would be due under the com promise offered by us. He ad vises us that, the amount will be about $5,500.00. This is a saving over the first offer- of compromise made by other parties as provided for in a bill before the Legislature in 1898 of $6,000 or more. Just what course will be best foi meet the indebtedness of $5,500.00 agreed upon, is a matter to be .!* cided by the citizens of Pickeic Township. But as that amount o; bonds can be easily floated iu ou opiniou no great hardships wi ^ result to the township. The two cases which have com manded and received our mot earuess efforts are Past vs. Picken' Township and Past vs. Wise Town ship. Not only on account of tb large amounts involved but for tb further reason that we have had u contend with one of the ablest lav firms in the south, Messrs. Milch el & Smith of Charleston and as sociated with them, Mr. N. G Evans, a learned member of ou local bar. It will be remembered that whet suit was entered in these tw< cases, a mass meeting of the citi z?us of Pickens and Wise Bent t< Charleston a committee consist ing of Hon B R Tillman, Hon J ( Sheppard and Hon T H Rainefon lo see if any compromise could b effected. They reported that u compromise could be made, th bondholders exacting every dolla of the bonds. By agreement between counsel Past vs. Pickens Township is th only case which bas been tried. I was argued before Judge Brawley at Charleston. We t.:Hv?jd-'hy va rious pleus the sum of teri, thou sand fiyfi hundred and nineteen and 57-100 dollars. On the fume basis we will save for WiseVTown ship about seven thousand dollars making an absolutely certain sav ing to both townships of" r.iore than seventeen thousand dolrars. Believing that the whole bonded indebtednesp was absolutely null and void, we appealed to the Uni tpd States Circuit Court of Ap peals at Richmond, and the canne was argued at that place on the 23rd of November last. Tbe: deci 9?011 will not be known until the court convenes in February, but we are hopeful of winning the case. We were in this case, also re quired to give au appeal bond of $250 00 and Mr D D Padgett, Su pervisor, was the only member of the Board of County Commission ers who would sign the same^ This necessitated another appeal to public spirited citizens and had not Dr W B Penn, Dr J W Hill, Mr W N Burnett and Mr O O Burnett signed the bond, the ap peal would have been dismissed under the rules of court. They deserve if they do not receive the gratitude of the taxpayers of the two townships. We might add, that so far, we have had to bear personally, all the expenses and disbursements of the several suits. The printing of the brief and argument alone cost ing us in the neighborhood of $200.00 not to mention hotel bil 1B and railroad fares incident to sev eral trips to Greenville, Augusta and Charleston aud .one trip to Richmond. Although the Legislature. in 1898 passed an Act to make a levy which would have raised about $175.00, the Cranty Audi tor failed or refused to put it on his books, although he promised Hon J" Wm Thurmond that he would do so. This left us with absolutely no funds with which to continue the fight, although we di i so at our own cost. The levy for 1899 will raise uot quite $250.00. It is only f.iir to say that the Commissioners Messrs S M Smith Sr, D B Hollingsworth and J R Blocker have been vigilant in look ing after the interests of the tax payers of Pickens township and have aided us in every way possi ble. During the absencp of a member of our firm, in the army, Hon J Wm Thurmond was associated with Ub in tbe cases and we desire to express our warm appreciation of his assistiince. CROFT & TILLMAN. Spread Manure in Winter? It is the practice in this section of of N. J. to haul and spread the manure in the fall, or any tim? during the winter when conditions are favorable for such work. Experience bas taught the farmer J that buckwheat straw or b'her coarse manure spread in the fall will produce as good a crop .of oom as the best manure we make, spread in the spring. Some far mers who lease their farms are'so strong in th^ir faith that they have a claee inserted in the lease com pelling tnnants to haul aud spread the manure in the fall. I prefer fall spreading for two reasons; first, it is as good or better for th crop, aud the work is that mucb farther along in the spring.-[P. H. Hartwell, New Jersy.-American I Agriculturist.
