The republicans have aban doned all hope of securing th a passage of the ship sub sidy bill at this session of congress. The btate campaign prac tically opens on Friday. On that day Senator Tillman in his speech at Manning will bwund the campaign tocsin. The celebration of the cen tennial anniversary of the es tablishment of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, will take place on June nth. It is reported that beef is selling in many places at 20 cenfs per pound on account of the beef trust The at torney general of the United States has ordered an investi gation and if the charges al leged are true he will slaugh ter the beef trust by punish ing the violators of the anti trust law A movement to raise funds to erecr an equestrian statue in Columbia in honor of thc illustrious Gen. Wade Hamp ton hasassumed definite shape. It was very properly inaugu rated by Camp Hampton U. C. V. of which Gen Hamp ton was a member and for whom this command was named. The potato bug which proved to be so destructive toBthe Irish potato crop last jrvai, ivi?u; u--y-a -11 1* many places, has already made its appearance and is ready for the fray. They can be exterminated, however, by mixing one ounce of Paris green in three pounds of flour and sifting this on the pota toes. The Southern Cultiva-) tor recommends this and says there is no danger of poison ing the potatoes This should be done immediately after the first bug is seen, for they can soon ruin the entire patch. Cotton is now about gl? c4-' in the Augusta market. L 1 the wise farmer will nc ^j induced by this flattering pros peet to plant all cotton. It may tumble way below the present price before next fall. Remember that designing speculators always, it seems, advance the price at this sea fon of the year so as to make the acreage as great as possi ble. This is so evident that the "wayfaring man though a fool may not err therein." The "bulls and the bears" laugh through their sleeves at the farmers when they plant their fields in cotton and their patches in corn. Rather be influenced b y one-dollar-a bushel corn than by nine-and a-half-cent cotton in pitching the crop. Then next Spring would find the farmers with more money in their pockets and tenfold more corn in their cribs than they had thii Spring. Among the fraternal orders that have tho insurance feature the old Knight8of Honor stand first. This lodge has 6ince its inception been ?tower of strength; a veritable **City of refuge" to many a discon Bolate widow and penniless orphan who otherwise would have been overtaken by abject poverty Many of our best citizens belong to the local lodge which held a meeting on Thursday evening, at which Mr, Wallace Sheppard was initiated and received into full fellowship of the K. of H. brother hood. The families of deceased members of the Edgefield lodge have within the last ten years re ceived not less than $20,000 from the Supreme K. of PI. treasurer. The birds, especially the songs ters, are these cold mornings half distrustful of their instinct which prompted their seeming mi?eason hble return from the tropice,whith they migrated for the winter. ?jr songs are in the early mern, it chilled and cold, baii i?rble?,instoad of the aoi ispiring notes with praise tba God season of the Twelve Enterprises Edp;efield Should Have.

Are You Expectant? MOTHER'S FRIEND makes childbirth easy and almost painless, by ?>reparing the system for parturition, thus assist ng Nature, and shortening labor. The painful ordeal of childbirth is robbed of its terrors, and the danger thereof greatly lessened, to both mother and child. The period of confinement is als? greatly shortened, the motlier rested, und the child tully developed, strong and healthy. Morning sickness, or nausea arising from preg nancy is prevented by relieving the stomach from the pressure brought to bear on it by the expand ing organ, and by which it is Influenced through sympathy. As pregnancy advances, the breasts enlarge, become swollen, hard and tight, hong before th? child is born, they are preparing for the secretion of milk, lt is important to successful child rear Bf that these Klands receive early consideration. Mother's Friend softens the skin, relieves the pressure, ?nd facilitates the secretion of Lift Fluid. Undeveloped nnd occluded ducts, a-cl breasts hard-caked shortly after delivery, are i..e result of non-treatment and likely to culminate ia Mammary Abscess from which the patient suf fers excruciating pain and is left with these functional organs permanently Impaired.

Thurmond, of ?dgefield, announces " he will be a candidate for Congress this year. This y gressional district comprises the counties of Beaufort, Hr ton, Bamberg, Barnwell, Aiken,Saluda and Edgefield. ? " The position of congressman is a very important one, the record of every candidate ought to be known by the pie, so they can the better judge of the fitness of the aspii We give below a sketch of Mr. Thurmond's life : J. Wm. Thurmond is a son of George W. Thurmond a'n?f Mary Thurmond, nee Mary Felter. His father has passed the four score mark and is the veteran of two wars. The subject of this sketch was born in Merriwether Township, Edgefield county, South Carolina, on May ist, 1862. His early education was entirely under his mother, who was anx ious to have him educated. He entered Curryton Higfj school in 1876, which he attended for several sessions under the management of Prof. A S Townes and Rev. Hugh F. Oliver, respectively. He has been a member of the Baptist church since boyhood. After attending Curryton Acade my he taught school and later attended South Carolina Coif lege one sesson, having entered the Sophomore class. In 1887 he taught school and read law, entering the law offic? of Sheppard Bros., at Edgefield C. H., in October of that year. In January, 1888, he was admitted to the bar. Th? Supreme court in admitting his class said: "Fourteen of the eighteen applicants have been admitted, ten passed credita ble examinations and the manuscripts of fojr are so excel lent as to deserve special mention by this court; they are those of J. Wm. Thurmond and E. H. Folk, of Edgefield; Youmans, of Columbia, and E, H. Herndon, of Walhalla." There was a heated contest in December, 1S88, among a number of lawyers for the attorneyship of Edgefield county, which resulted in a victory for the subject of this sketch, he having received all three votes of the County Commission ers. This was his first appearnnce in politics. In 1S94 he was elected to the Legislature by a large majority. He was a candidate for the Solicitorship of thc Fifth Judicial Circuit in 1896 and defeated the incumbent by 874 votes. When in the House he was a very active member, and as one of a committee of three made a minority report against the finding of bonds claimed by Samuel Lord as receiver of the State Bank, and defeated said claim by-a vote of 79 to 29. saving the state sixty thousand dollars. He nominated the Hon B. R. Tillman for the United States Senate, also nominated rion. Ira B.Jones lor associate justice of the Supreme court. The result of the war left his parents with very little prop erty, and not over fifty dollars was ever paid out for his education except what he himself made. As Solicitor he has never had a single indictment quashed, or demurrer to one sustained. Asa citizen, Solicitor Thurmond is a good neighbor, a liberal and progressive man; and as a lawyer it is well known that no case suffers in his hands; he is among the first of the lawyers of thc Edgefield bar, one of the strongest in the state. Beside, he is not the lawyer to charge for some little advice on some trivial matter, and many poor peo ple can testify to his gratuitous services. As a public officer he has discharged with ability, firmness, success and satis faction, the trusts committed to his care. Having been a farmer and plowed many a day himself and being a member of a family of honest and industrious farmers, his sympathies are with the farmers and thc laboring people; however, he would do no man an injustice for any other man. Mr. Thurmond is an active, progressive worker in every undertaking, and if he is elected to Congress, this district can confidently expect its full quota of all governmental advan tages, appropriations, etc. ' _,_ In December ot 1899, tue subjecT ?TtT??s ?"ketch Miss Gertie Strom, a daughter of the late Dr, J. H. Strong and a sister of Hon. W. A. Strom. Mr. Thurmond has always been a bond fighter and he saved much for the state and has done much "for certain townships in this county and Saluda and in other sections of the state to relieve them of railroad bonds where no rail road had been constructed. His record shows that he works for, and secures practical results, and beside being an able lawyer is a successful busi ness man, and aman who will not fool or deceive you, and is just and reliable. The people of this district will have no regrets f they elect this man to Congress. T. J. ADAMS, Former Editor of EDGEIELD ADVERTISER. (Complaint not served.)
