notice elsewhere.
There is less drinking in Edge
field than ever before in the history
of our town. This fact is so patent
that no one denies it.
The returns of property in the
State aro a little over two millions
more than last year. In Edgefield
county the returns are about $70,
000 in excess of last year.
On Tuesday morning, Oct. 31st,
the first killing frost of the season
lay white over the fields. There
was ice, too, thick enough to re-j
quire some force to break it.
Little Willie, the ten-year-old
son of Mr. Andrew Gardner, has|
thrown away his gourd fiddle, the
one he used in th* last campaign,
and now has a sure-enough fiddle,
and one that he proposes to play at
President Tillman's inauguration.
Cold enough for frost on Sunday
and Monday mornings of this
""week, tut there was none in this i
vicinity. In the region of Meridian,
MisB., there was a killing frost on
Sunday morning.
President L. P. Harling of th?
Confederate Survivors' Association
has called a meeting for the first
Monday in November. On this
day the Rev. J. P. Mealing, chap
la?D,will deliver a sermon to the
old veterans.
Capt. Geo. B. Lake killed a200|
pound shote on Tuesday of this
week, and so did everybody else
who had one to kill ; and this re
minds us that there will bo more
bogs killed this winter in Edgefield
county than for many years.
The success of the dispensary
law depends on the enforcement of j
its reform features. Let it be so
enforced. So far as Edgefield is
concerned, we believe John B.
Davis is fully alive to this fact,
and the results to date show it to
be a wise measure; not perfect of
course, no sane person expects
that of any human law.
If you have chickens with "sore
head" or "roup," as some call it,
paint the spots with iodine daily,
and bathe the eyes, if affected,
with a vory weak solution of sugar
of lead. Chopped onion is good
for them mixed in their food. One
who has learned from experience
the efficacy of this treatment re
commends it.
A Good Official.
White and colored applicants to
teach in the public schools of
Edgefield county were examined
on last Friday and Saturday. There
were a good many new faces before
tbs board and a large number of
old certificates were renewed. The
public schools throughout the
county are in excellent condition,
both scholars ana teachers having
taken on new life and vigor in
matters educational. It is not the
custom of the ADVERTISER to praise
indiscriminately, but School Com
missioner Davenport is emphati
cally the man for the place he oc
cupies in every respect. Strict in
the enforcement of tho law, as he
understands it, he is at the same
time always courteous and oblig
ing.

Engineer Whaley Killed.
Engineer Whaley, so well and
favorably known in Edgefield, was
killed yesterday, Monday, in a
wreck on the South Carolina Rail
way. The following account of
the accident we clip from the News
and Courier of Tuesday:
"As through freight train N<
83, engine 22, of the South Caro
lina Railway, in charge of Conduc
tor Blanchard, was passing through
Cypress Swamp, between Jedburg
and Ridgeville, about 7:30 o'clock
last evening, the engine Btruck
cow and the eugine and several
cars were derailed. Engine-1 Jobi
Whaley and Brakemau J. A. Tavel,
both white men, were instantly
killed, Fireman Holslander was
bruised about the legs and body
but was not seriously hurt.
Both the night passenger traiut
were considerably delayed, as the
peculiar situation of the wreck
rendered a transfer impossible.
As soon as information regard
ing the accident reached the city a
special train was dispatched, with
several of the officials aboard. Up
to a late hour last night this train
had not returned.
Engineer Whaley and Brakeman
Tavel were both Charleotonians.
They were both married and leave
families. The wreck is being clear
ed away as rapidly as possible.
How to Do lt.
The way in which Mat Bigham
converted his brother Jim from the
errors of "auti-ism" is well worth
knowing, for you, reader, may do
likewise to some benighted soul.
Mat cells of the conversion in this
wise :
"Last Saturday week I went to
Edgefield and there met Jim Big
hain. You know he is a powerful
anti man, powerful. Jim says,
sez he, Mat, go over to the dispense
and get er quart and come and go
home with me. Well, I went home
with him. At the supper table I
asked him if he had read Tillman's
St. Louis speech. He said, No, I
ain't seed nor heerd it.' 'Well,
said I, I'll read it to you, and
right there at the table I pulled |
out a paper and commenced to
read it. I had only read a dozen
lines when Jim began to choke
and the tears began to roll down
his face and drap into his gravy
and coffee. I said nothing but read
on. I knew by the sigus that I
was a doing him good. When I got
to that part of Ben's speech where
he tells about a man drappin' a
bucket into er empty well and
growing old drawing nothing up,
Jim riz. 'Mat,' soz he, 'don't read
no m>re. I've been doing that
same thing all my life, drappin'
empty buckets into a dry well and
getting old drawin' nothing up.
Ben is right. You have made me
spile my gravy, but I don't be
grudge it, for gravy oughtenter
weigh agin a man's conscience
and my conscience has been hurt
ing mo two years on account of
voting that auti ticket. And you
can tell Ben Tillman }h&t Jim
Bigham will never try to draw wa
ter out of a dry well again as long
as his bead is hot. Sister Jane,
fling away this old salty plutter
crat gravy and give me some good
ramrackin?- gravy.
What Docs He Mean, Anyhow?
The News and Courier.
To the Editor of The News and
Courier: Without commenting
upon the propriety of your Barn
well correspondent, whose enter
prise, it seems, would obtrude upon
the public the idle speculation of a
street corner in regard to a private
citizen, I, neverthless think that
under the circumstances it may
it may be proper, perhaps, f>r me
to state that I have no intention or
expectation of opposing Gen Butler
either as a candidate or a citizen,
iu his canvass for re-election to
the United States Senate.
I do not, nor do I believe that
the masses of tho people of South
Carolina, share to any extent in
the attempt which is deing made
to cast opprobrium upon Senator
Butler for his offorts to defend the
rights of the musses and the free
institutions of his country from
the insidious and undemcratic at
tempt which is being made to fas
ten upon us the single gold stand
ard-a scheme which, if successful
will have a tendency to fe?d and
clothe the masses of this country
and Western Europe at the ex
pense of the American farmer and
aclually confiscate the property
of every cotton and wheat grower
of the United Slates.

A FOET HILL IN EDGEFIELD
A Paper Read Before tlic Utopian
Society of Clarks Hill.
Fort Hill, as known to the resi
dents in western Edgefield county,
is about two miles southwest of
Clarks Hill, and one mile east of
the Savannah river.
The name Fort Hill is so closely
linked with the history of the
aborigines, the Indians, that I will
have to bring in something about
I them before giving a complete ac
count of the now abandoned and
isolated fort.
Itwas built about the time of
the Revolution by the white set
tlers, for the protection of them
selves and their families against
the Chicora8 in Carolina, Ap
pachees in Georgia, and the Chero
kees of the mountain districts.
There were other inferior tribes of
Indians, though the above men
tionod were tbs principal ones
dreaded.
The reader must not think that
this fort once resembled Fort Sum
ter at Charleston, and other large
brick ones built during the civil
war, but it was just large enough,
I suppose, judging from the size of
the ruins, io have had a capacity
for two hundred people.
It was made by digging a hole
in the ground and setting posts up
around the edges, and upon these
were laid poles and dirt which
protected against the enemies' ar
row heads.
Like our modern forts, there were
a plenty of port holes cur in the
sides at convenient distances.
From the fort to the branch was a
covered ditch which gave to tho
thirsty a chance of getting waler
without exposure to the enemy.
Not only was this fort a safe
refuge during times of trouble, but
also a great trading and burteriug
station. Goods and trinkets, such
as pocket knives, fire-arms, red
flannel, etc., were brought from
Charleston on pack horses by the
way of a trail or path. Tne old
trail can now be seen in many
places; one part of it is what is
known as the "Mark Rock'' path
that leads from the public road in
front of Dr. T. J. McKie's resi
dence to a mile or two this side of
the mouth of Stevens Creek.
Whence came the name of "Mark
Rock" tradition does not say, but
it is supposed, as tho name would
indicate, from the large rocks with
hieroglyphics cut on them.
Fort Hill is worth visiting and
would repay the curiosity hunter
and sight-seer. Down on the river
bottoms, which is at the foot of the
hill, can be found many old Indian
relics, such as pieces of pottery,
arrow heads, and occasionally a
tomahawk.
There evidently must have been
an Indian town near by, judging
from the many evidences of habi
tations. The view of the "Three
Sisters"-mountains-in Georgia,
from Fort Hill is perfectly grand,
and there can also be seen Scott's
shoals with its moss-covered rocks,
aud numerous little islands clothed
the year round with green grass.
Ono would think it strange, but
wild turkey tracks are yet seen in
and near tho old fort, although the
site has been cultivated in cotton
and corn for many years since the
Indians and whites abandoned it.
This can be easily accounted for :
As the lauds first settled became
worn out the people moved to
other more fertile spots, and in
time the fields they had abandon
ed were the haunts of the wild
turkey and fox-a thicket of
bramble and briar.
It is h pity that Fort Hill does
not occupy aplace in our histories.
May it ever be remembered as
the spot of chief interest in Edge
field county.
A Bicycle Feat.
RICHMOND, VA., Oct, 20.-A
telegram to the Dispatch from
Staunton, Va., says: This morn
ing at 9.03'clock Guy jRock^y sped
out of town on his bicycle bearing
a letter from the Mayor of Staun
ton to the Mayor of Chambers
burg, Pa. At ?ach block of five
miles the bicyclists were relieved,
and made a flying switch of their
missive, delivering it at the top
speed to another rider, who in turu
bore the letter five miles further
and delivered it to another and t
on throughout the journey. Tin
object of the trial was to test the
practical speed of the wheel for
courier service, and the experiment
was made under the auspices of
tho League of American Wheelmen
the wheel used being the pneumatic
tired safety. The Staunton Leaguo
bore the message a distance of
thirty miles, fire milos below
Harrisonburg, wheeimen of the
latter town there taking up the
run. The first thirty mile block
was covered by Staunton men in
town hours and fourteen minutes.
As Frank Merriker, of this city,
rolled through Harrisonburg at a
Paul Revere gait the street on
both sides was lined with cheering
spectators. A telegram just re
ceived Bays the last wheelmau de
livered his letter to ChambersburgV
Mayor at 1.48 p. m., the 162 miles
being covered in ten hours and
forty-five minutes, or at a sixteen
au hour clip.
BLOODSHED IN BARWELL
Jim Collin, a Respected Citizen,
Murdered on the Highway.
The Columbia State.
BARNWELL, S. C., Oct. 23.-News
was received here late this after
noon of the murder of Jim Collin,
a respected citizen, last night, near
Appleton, in this county. Collin
was on his way to Appleton, riding
a mule, and was found in the road
about 8 o'clock with a wound in
the head, from which he died two
hours afterwards. He attempted
to tell how he came by the blow,
but was too weak to do so. The
mule which he was riding has not
yet been found.
There is no clue to the murderer,
as he had no enemy in the world.
His death wa6 a great shock to the
community.
Sound Reasons.
Wilmington Star.
It has been a matter ot some
surprise that the - Senators from
the silver States, after holding out
so long, should agree that tb* ques
tion of unconditional repeal
should come to a vote, rather than
'accept the compromise which had
had been proposed, and was
favored by so many Senators last
Saturday. The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun
throws some light on thi* in the
following, which explains the
position of the Silver State Sena
tors, and why they prefer uncondi
tional to conditional repeal :
"The reason assigned ferr this
surrender on the part of the silver
men was that they believed im
mediate repeal would leave them
in a better position for future
warfare than repeal to tajee effect
at som* future date. They argued
that it a hill should be passed put
ting the repeal into effect a year
or eighteen months from the pre
sent time the effect would be to
remove the silver question largely
from politics for the intevening
time, and they could not urge the
supplemental legislation that
would enable them to keep up the
free silver agitation in boih houses
of Congress during that time. It
was also argued that no matter
what the condition of busidess
affairs might be after the passage
of a bill to take effect at a future
dato, the repealers could attribute
it to the operation of the bill and
base an argument against silver
do it. If business should continue
bad tue repealers could contend
it was because the bill did not go
into effect at once, and if business
should improve they could at
tribute it to the operation of the
bill in giving assurances that the
purchases of nilver were to stop at
a fixed date. It was said they pre
ferred to take their chances with
immediate repeal than with a bill
that could be worked against
them either way. These arguments
looked so plausible and some of
the mining State Senators were so
confident that they would change
their programme and allow a vote
to be taken that for an hour or two
this afternoon everybody about
the Senate wes confident the long
fight was drawing to au end at last
and unconditional repeal was to
be passed within the next two
weeks,"
The Weather Synopsis.
A decidedly colder coudition

D. FISHER, Observer.
The Hartwell Sun says: "Mr.
Tom Grifflu, of Madison County,
was bitten by a lattlesnake a few
days ago. He had a chicken killed
immediately and-splitting it open
applied it to the wound, and he is
now sound and well. Mr. John
Brown, otJHart County, was bitten
on the forehead manv years ago
by a rattlesnake while he was
stooping to drink water from a
spring, and was saved by the
chicken remedy, The chicken flesh
was turned green by the absorption
of the virus. Il is said if you
catch the snake and split it open
and apply it in tho same way that
it will effect a cure. But most of
our readers would" prefer chicken
to snake, if handy."
During the thirteenth century
the Chinese emperors made money
from the inner bark of the mul
berry tree, cutting it into round
piece? and stamping it. To coun

tender was punishable by death.
Traces of the bicycle aro found
as far back as the fifteenth cen
tury. In fact. Egyptian figures,
found on obelisks, mounted on

had some idea of the velocipede.
Metropolitan Police.
A great degree of interest is now
attaching to the fdea of a
metropolitan police for certain
townsend cities in this State. In
order that the people may fully
understand the position of Gov.
Tillman on this question, we re
publish the following from the
Columbia Register, which resulted
from an interwiew with a reporter j
of that paper :
The^ Governor did not express
himself as being in favor of
metropolitan police as a prineiple,
but he* said it appeared to him ' to ]
be a necessity, for which the
authorities of certain cities and
towns are themselves to blame.
The situation is simply this : In
Charleston the people are ap
parently in rebellion against State
authority, especially in connection
with the Dispensary law. The au
thorities there in spite their again s
tthe Dispensaries even ignore
their own ordinance againet sel
ling whiskey without a license and
are> aiding and abetting the blind
tigers. The Governor ask^d Mayor I
Fioken to have Chief of Police]
Martin enforce the law, which he
could have done far more efficiently
than any force of State constables
and without cost to the State. This
request Mayor Ficken declined to |
comply with.
In Sumter the city authorites
not only took no steps to enforce
the law but stood by and saw a
crowd of men and boys assault the
State's officials, and keep this up
for several hourB without making a
single arrest even for disorderly
conduct.
The Governor's posiliou is that
whore the local authorities not
only decline to enforce the law, but
permit and even encourage its
violation, then it becomes neces
sary to have officials who will en
force the law, and over wbom the
State will h;;.ve control. He would
prefer the cities and towns en
forcing tho law and maintaining]
peace and order if they would,
without State interference.
The Governor's idea is to have a
system of metropolitan police op
pointed and operated somewhat
after the manner in which the
system is operated in Augusta,
Ga., where the city has had
metropolitan police for the last
fifteen years.
The plan is to have the police
relieved from political obligations,
either State or local. This can be
done by the appointment of a
commissioner in a town composed
of good men, regardless of their
politics, who are in favor of the
Dispensary law and in favor of]
the enforcement of all laws. This
commission shall be entrusted |
with the appointment of the police
and the police shall be amenable
to the commission for the proper
performance of all their duties,
whether in connection with the
Dispensary law or not. These
policemen can be removed any
time for refusal to do their duty,
or neglect or inefficiency. The
police so appointed are to be
treated and paid by the cities just
the same as if they were appoint
ed by the city councils.
The police so appointed would
not be under the influence of local
politicians and would cease to be
a political machine, as they are
now made to be in many places.
They would cease to have so much
influence over elections, and their
only claim to hold their
positions would be the faithful
performance of their duties. By
this means the law would be en
forced, and peace and .order pre
served and no harm done #'to any
body.;
The above is a general outline
of Governor Tillman's ideas on this
subject. The details of ?the plan
for the appointment and control of
the metropolitan police are matters
to be arranged by the Legislature.
The metropolitan police system
was established in Augusta upon a
petition of the citizens, -upon the
grounds that the police of the city
constituted a regular political
machine, and mainly for that
reason they were inefficient. The
new system, so far from overthrow
ing local self-government, establis
hed it upon a firmer basis than
before, for by it every one is made
to obey the law.
So the people of South Carolina
need not look upon this thing with
so much alarm.
