Edgefield Advertiser THURSDAY, NOV. 30, 1893. LOCAL? BREVITIES. A turkey stood in a cranberry swamp, And hi sang till his throat was sore; For all day long he sang this song, Weshall meeton that beautiful shore. Drove hogs are now selling ft 7? cents per pound, gross. Notwithstanding the very cold weather there will be orange Mos souis in Edgefield in December. Edgefield county people have sowed a great deal of oats this fall and propose to keep it up until Christmas. During the year 1894 real estate will bo again returned and assess ed. This will be the first assess ment for five years. People are not crowding the Treasurer's office as yet to pay their taxes. Just before Christmas they'll begin to pour in. Tho Griffin house on Butler hill is being re-shingled and other wise improved, and the supposi tion is that it will soon be occu pied. Our young friend John Lott goes to the Osborne business College early iu January to take a course of steuo?raphy. Our best wishes attend him. Flour is cheaper in this market than ever before known within the memory of man ; from $2.50 to $4.75 per barrel seems tobe the alpha and the omega. Judge Siraonton has ordered the sale of the South Carolina Railway on Dec. 12th. This is the third time the date has been fixed for a sale which was not made. Nearly everyone in our town is going down to the exposition on Thursday of this week, Thanks giving, and the stores and business house of course will all be closed. If your hogs are sick soak corn in lime water and feed it to them. It will cure the disease now going about, will also give them a won derful appetite r.ud make them fat ten fast. Mrs. Dr. Scott. Sheppard and family will soon move imo town and will occupy the house on the hill owned by Orlando Sheppard, Esq., which is being refitted and rehabilitated for such occupancy. Avoid the rush by paying your taxes now, right along, every day. The limit is the 31 st of December, and don't forget, after you have paid your taxes, to come up into the ADVERTISER office and pay for your paper. The railroad fare from Edgefield to Augusta has been reduced to! Tuesdays aud Thursdays. This includes return ticket aud entrance to the Exposition, but does not include the street carfare from the city to the Exposition. The Y. M. C. A. haye secured the services of Mr. Frederick D. Losey, who will give one of his entertainments on Wednesday night, Dec. 6. Mr. Losey is highly endorsed by the press, and it is hoped be will have a large au dience. Rev. G, W. Bussey was in town on Monday of this week. This gentlemau,with Mr. J. H. Boldridge Mr. J. S. Jordan, and Mr. J. L. Ouzts are the only preachers, we believe, who will attend the Baptist convention that meets in Anderson thia week from this count}'. The man who predicted that this would be an unusually cold winter understood his business if we may judge by the record of the thermometer on last Saturday and Sunday, especially when we re member that according to the almanac winter doesn't even begin until the 20th of December. No notice has been given in re gard to Thanksgiving services in the churches of our town, so every mau is expected to give thanks in his own domicile, under his own roof-tree. We can thank the Lord for what we've got, and "that it ain't any worse than how it is." Any of us can do that much thanksgiving. The Hon. Bourke Cockrane, of New York', is opposed to the idea of an income tax. He declares it would be class legislation and would knock the stuffing out of the democratic party in New York. We know three thousand people in Edgefield county who would be perfectly willing to pay an income tax if they were furnished with an income. A man went into a drug store and asked for something to cure a head ache. The druggisi held a bottle of hartshorn to his nose, and he was ' nearly overpowered by its pungency. As soon as he recovered he began to rail at the druggist. "But didn't it heJ p your headache?" asked the apothecary. "Help my headacheI;* gasped the mau. "I haven't any headache. It's my wife that has the headache." Our old friend, Dr. W. D, Jennings, is in town again after a long absence. As is well known, Dr. Jennings U the originate of those standard med icines, Jennings's improved Hepatic or Liver medicine Jennings's Rheumatic,or Neuralgin medicine, and last, but not ol less importance Jenning's get-up medicine. Dr. Lynch has the Bale and exclusive sale of these re nowned remedies in Edgefield county, of course they were for sah at the World's Fair, but as tnt Fair is over they have been with drawn. General Hugh L. Farley was in town last week. The general hasn'i been hitting the bull's eye of lute, but he has the privilige of picking thc flint and trying again. Edgefield couuty has the largest number of teachers of any county in the State, 261. Edgefield seems now to be leading in educational matters, as she once did in devil ment. The editor of the Greenville News threatenes to sue the McCormick News because that paper published an item from the Abbeville Medium and credited it to his paper. Brother Williams lays his damages at one million dollars. If Brother Harmon will promise to be a ramracker we'll tell him to euchre Williams out of his money, even though he Bhould get a verdict. Rev. J. M. White late,of our town, now of the Sweetwater section, has been called to a church near his old home Apex, N. C., and will re turn there at the close of the year. This gentleman says that during his residence in Edgefield county, at the village, and where he now resides that ho has received every token of kindness which could be desired. His school patrons and congregations express much regret at his prospective departure. It is related of ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown, that once, while he was judge of the supreme court, he had occasion to fine a man who years before, was a neighbor to the judge in the days of his struggle with poverty. The irate farmer came out of the court room swear ing like a trooper, and the first op portunity he had, said to the judge : "Jedge, I don't think you orter fine me. I knowed ye in the days when ye had to plow a little bull for a livin'." "Yes," replied the judget "bu4 I always made it my busi ness to keep the little bull in the row." Store.Robbod. We clip the following from the News and Courier of Monday: On Friday night, about 8 o'clock, "two negro men went to the store of J. T. Werts at Dom's Mills, Edgefield County, and after trad iug to the amount of $15.60 slip ped the bundles into a sack and, with the cry, "Lookout;" be gan to fire at Mr. Werts, who dodged behind the counter and thereby saved himself from being riddled with b?llete. After empty ing their gun9 they Becured their goods and made good their escape. After leaving Mr. Werts they proceeded down the Edgefield road until they reached a point about seven miles below, where they struck a North Carolinian, an ap ple peddler, by the name of Powers. They found Powers asleep and stole his team,consistiugof a horse and mule. Mr Powers was here to day and sent out telegrams all over the country describing his stock. He describes them as fol lows: One daik bay horse with a white spot on forehead, natural pacer, can't be made to trot. The other is a bay maTe mule with a wart under each foreleg. Mr. Werts describes the robbers as follows: One is a black, burly negro, heavy built, weight 160 or 275 pounds ; the other is a mulatto and is tall and slender built. Capt. Jim Miner Returns Thanks to the Augusta Ladies. MR. EDITOR: Without being specially authorized to do so my heart impels me to express for my self and the other Confederate sur vivors of Edgefield county our Jeep appreciation of the magnifi cent hospitality of which we were the gratified recipients in Augusta on Thursday last. We were given the freedom of the city and the Exposition, side shows, Feltis wheel, Persian circus, and all. But it is to the ladies of Augusta that we are particularly indebted for the rousing good time we had. They not only served us with the most tempting and delicious viands but with their fair hands pinned flowers and badges upon our coats, and by their kind words and noble demeanor inspired us with a wild desire to show our devotion to them by death upon the altars of our country. Not a veteran there who would not willingly have shed his heart blood for those noble Au gusta women, and yet it was sweet to have survived the horrors of war were it but to participate in the joys of last Thursday and re ceive the tokens of kindness and resoect from Augusta's fair daugh ters. While life lasts will the Edgefield veterans remember and bless the noble women of Augusta, Georgia. JAMES MINER. Self, P. 0. Our Village Cemetery-A Griev ance. MR. EDITOR: There are some things we do not like to speak about, but when duty impels, we must. The writer frequently goes into the smaller of the two cemeteries in our town where loved ones sleep, and often is his progress ! impeded by trash and brush in \ the path which leads into the \ smaller inclosun\ We do not j know who is to blame in this mat ter, and we do not blame anybody. But these things are a little griev . ous tu bear, and we would remind ( those who have trespassed, inad , verte nt y perhaps, to bear in mind the golden rule, "Do unto otherp I as ye would that they should do u:ito3'on." ) "We shall know eacii other better When the mists have rolled away." SENEX. AN EDGEFIELD YOUTH At Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn., Writes the Advertiser , a Pleasant Letter. NASHVILLE. Tenn., Nov. 20. MR. EDITOR: Notwithstanding the fact that lam overwhelmed with studies I must spare a few moments to write to tho grand old ADVERTISER. I love to read its columns, I love to advocate its principles, because it is fair on all Rubjects-not going to the extreme on any. Again, it is, as it w?re, a correspondent from home. I have been here since the 10th of October last. On our way, we called on Mrs. William Stevens, late of Clintonward, now a resident of Atlanta, Ga. We spent the afternoon with this most kind and hospitable lady. While there we had the pleasure of meeting the mother and brother of Henry W, Grady. I had read the life of this lady's illustrious son, and it afford ed me no little pleasure to meet her. We took a seat in the parlor and talked for some time. She told me of the misfortunes and ad versities her son (Henry W.) had during a period of his life, but after all he triumphed in his en deavors. Grady was a man with the true genius of race. "Many limps," says hi3 biographer* "did the peo ple of his district ask him to rep resent them in Congress, but he refused, saying he thought he could do more as a private citizen." He was a man fre?5 from personal mo tives, and in his death the South sustained a great loss. Nashville is a great place of education. It has several univer sities, colleges, and graded schools. While speaking to a clergyman of renown the other day, he said: "Nashville is now the Athens of the South for education." The city is situated principally on the south side of the Cumber land river. She is not what might be called a city of striking beauty, but she is not void of charms. She is built o'er hill and dale, and the spectator standing upon her great reservoir on a beautiful after noon, is struck with the granduer of the scene presented to the ad miring eye. This reservoir is a master work of masonry. It seems to be about a half mile in circum ference, aud is a solid stone wall about forty feet high. Upon its top one can actually see the sun move as he hides himself behind the distant hills. Near by the reservoir is the his toric hill overlooking the city upon which the Confederate soldiers en camped during the late war. There is the excavations they made and the embamkments they threw up, and, if I mistake not, a battle was fought there. It is a little moun tain, Bteep and rugged on all sides. I cannot describe my feelings when I visited the places over which my countrymen fought and died. The very atmosphere seems to inspire one with love of country. The Peabody Normal College and University isa fine institution of learning. It has about thirty professors, and it is represented by students from all parts of the South. Every Southern State is entitled to her pro rata share of scholarships. It affords a great opportunity for the industrious boys and girls of the South to be educated. The students from South Caro lina met in assembly last week and se;?t a petition to our State Legislature asking them to pass a law providing for all L. T. grad uates of the Peabody Normal Col lege to have the privilege of teach ing in the public schools of the State without having to stand the county examinations. I hope our request will be granted in the pass age of such a bill, and solicit the support of our representatives from Edgefield. VAN STAR. Holocausts in Barnwell. The Columbia Slate. BRANCHVILLE, S. C., Nov. 27. Seven children were burned to death in two houses, three or four miles apart, in Barnwell county, six or seven miles from here, Sun day afternoon. The first house burned was on Riley Steedley's place, about 2 o'clock, in which four children perished. The sec ond fire occurred about 3 o'clock on Frrd Stoke's plac^, where three more colored children were in cinerated. Il is the old story. In each in stance the parents had gone away from home and locked their chil dren in the house. The coroner's jury found that botn fires were ac cidental. Call on W. W. Adams and get a barrel of Postell's Flour, tho finest made for $4.75; second Patents, $4.00; good at $3.50. Baldwin's Guano is the best. 'Make hay while the sun shines" and haul your Baldwin's Ammo niated guano while the roads are good. Supply on hand at W. W. ADAMS'S. Things Here and There-Bj Valued Contributor. MR. EDITOR : We are plain coi tr}' people down this way (arou Currelon). We read the Bible a the papers with some regular: and vote whon the time com But money is scarce and will scarcer. Cotton is about all BC by the average farmers. The promised improvement prices after ?the repeal bill w forced through has not yet mal rialized. If the National Congre should happen to pass even o bill in the interest of the produce] I should begin to suspect that thu (Congress) had "got religion The administration at Waehingto I guess, "heard something dra^ in the recent elections North ar West. 'Tis said some people cae take a hint without being knocke down. And again it is said th; experience is a dear school, bi fools will learn iu no other. May we not hope that Congrei when it meets next month wi recognize "thin handwriting on tl wall," and if possible reverse t! trend of things? If Congress, i soon as convened, will restore th coinage of silver, provide for vigorous "income tax" and repel the law taxing State bank issue it will seem then that the "knoc down" of the late elections W? worth as much as the political vi< tory of 1892. As to the repeal of the tax o State banks, we, the people, war ^unconditional repeal" this tim That is, we want no Federal supe: vision over our State banks; fe we may have State banks as muc under the control of the "plutte: crats" as National banks now ar And then, having swapped th devil for a witch, I do not see thi our status would be bettered. All the returns aro not in ye for all the States have not yt votrd. The complexion of the r< turns will depend very largely o Congressional action in the nrf future. If a democratic Congres will but give us some-2mre dem( eratic legislation it will be wei By pure, I mean legislation nc suggested nor advised, perhaps nc endorsed by Republicans in th cabinet or in the senate. It doe not seem to the people that th democratic party is old enough t dispense with a guardian, as wei as that the United States has beei "standing alone" long enough to b able now to tum loose mother Eng land's apron-strings. But thesi are just some thoughts of a grea many people. THE EXPOSITION at Augusta is now in full play Thursday and Friday (23rd anc 24th) were old soldiers days, and they were there. The drums beat ing, the "tramp, tramp" of thi veterans up Broad street, stirrec afresh the recollections of thirtj years ago, but when the proverbia "rebel yells" one following thi other in quien succession, lillee the beautiful city, and, runninj over, roared down the Savannah and echoed back from the hills o; Carolina. What was an old soldie: to do? Just as natural as life h< looked, before thinking, to see th( enemy retreating. But, no, than! God, there is now no enemy, nc North, no South, no Mason and Dixon's line. I had almost saic only some bars of gold now sepa rate us. For the first time since the war it was your correspondents privi lege to meet Gen. Hampton, "ole Wade" we used to call him. The passing years have left their mari on him. I was, indeed, very glac to see him, but as I told him, not so glad as I once was. "When wat that?" he inquired. "On the oc casion," I answered, "when oui cavalry division under Gen. W. K F. Lee started to flank Grant's army and raid his "cowpen" ai Coggin'8 Point on the James. None of us knew what it meant. "Cap tain," saya one, "what's up?' "Don't know," was the invariable answer from every officer ques tioned. "Where is old Wade?' "Don't know," again. The truth is the boys regarded Gen. W. H. F, Lee very highly, as a perfect gen tleman, but lacked confidence in his leadership. But, Gen. Hamp ton, ( 'tis too late to make you vain ) they had unfaltering confidence ic you. As we crossed into what was considered neutral ground, strict orders were given that there should be no yelling. That would wake up Grant's army "as far away" as Sheridan was. Having crossed a creek, the column halted. Thus at rest, though restless, you, sir, came up and rode along the column's1 side. Yell, they would or burst. Don't you remember it? I can almost hear it now-that yell." Gen. Hampton remembered the occa sion. "Then, sir, it was that I was more pleased to See you than now. And such, Mr. Editor, is a fact. Hampton always led to a success. And we were successful that time. Without any loss to us, we drove out of Grant's rear 2,500 of the finest beeves I ever saw." With all my admiration for him, I must confess that his strategy Jn war as a general was far greater than in peace as a politician ; or he never would have proposed to hopelessly divide the democrats of this State, and thus precipitate a state of things worse than it was prior to 76, for then the white peo ple were united. Well, Mr. Editor, I have stuck to my subject you see. I may at some other time give your readers some interesting incidents con nected with the above mentioned "cattle" raid." Yours, Crvis.
