THURSDAY, JAX. 4, 1894.
L0CAL2 BREVITIES.
The Edgefield Institute will re
open Jan. 8th.
There are said to be 5,000 cases
of grip in Augusta.
A Shatrerfield man made 2,000
gallons of sorghum last year.
A happy New Year to "all the
world and the balance of man
kind."
The dispensary sales on Satur
day before Christmas amounted to
five hundred and odd dollars.
Miss Mamie Norris, of the South
Caroliua College for Women, spent
the holidays at home.
j'\}en. Jos. B. Kershaw has been
?ippointed postmaster at Camden
by President Cleveland.
A week of prayer in the Baptist
Church during all of next week.
See programme of the Mjssion
t society published elsewhere.
All the sales to have been made
by the Master of salesday in Jan
uary have been continued to the
" first Monday in February, prox.
The Curryton Rifles have
changed into a cavalry company
and will henceforth be known as
the Sweetwater Light Dragoons.
All applicants for admission
to Clemson College will have to
be examined in their respective
counties on the 18th of this month.
, Eighteen cotton markets of
South-west Texas shew that the
cotton shipped so far is 41 percent
under last year and that held in
reserve 1 per cent under.
Cotton is still very low. Con
gress slipped up in repealing the
Sherman bill, for it didn't advance
the price of cotton to 10 cents per j
pound, as many predicted.
The tax levy for Edgefield
county for 1S94 is as follows : 2
mills for ordinary purposes; 1
mill for roads and bridges; and ?
a mill for past indebtedness.
We used to sp^ll Christmas holi
days "hollerdays." The dispen
sary won't let us spell it that way
now, which is about the only ob
jection we have to the dispensary.
Only two intoxicated persons
were seen ou our streets during the
holidays. This is a remarkable
fact and one never noted before in
the one hundred and odd years of
our town's existence.
The world may owe you a living,
but it is about as easy to make a
* living some other way as to collect
that debt-in fact the most of
those who try to collect it land in
-4-^i^or the penitentiary.
If you did not enjoy your Christ
mas very much, perhaps it was be
cause you had not paid for your
paper. Pay up, and you may be
Sappy yet
You bet.
Mr. Wm. M. Webb, who lived in
Edgefiel.l county, near Ohappeils,
died at his home on the 25th of
Decem'ier, Christmas Day. He
was a good citizen and an honest
man. Peace to his ashes.
Will there be another dispensary
in Edgefield county? Under the
new law it seems that a dispensary
may be established in any incor
porated town in the county by the
count}' board of control.
The ADVERTISER will take len
gallons of first-class sorghum as
the fee for announcing the candi
date who first appears in these
columns in 1894. We do this to
encourage the sorghum industry
and forthat reason alone.
Miss Mary E. McKie, the ac
complished daughter of Dr. R. H.
McKie, has been added to the
faculty of Cooper-Limestone Insti
tute. We congratulate the patrone
of this institution on securing the
services of this young lad}'.
Under the new county govern
ment law, Edgtfield will have to
elect this fall a county supervisor
instead of three county commis
sioners as heretofore. This county
supervisor will receive a salary of
$800 per annum, something worth
struggling for, aud we hear there
are five candidates in the field.
Auditor J. B. Haltiwanger starts
out Thursday, Jan. 4, on his rounds
assessing the real and personal
property in Edgefield couuty. It
will save much time and trouble
if you will meet him at your re
spective precincts. Mr. Haltiwan
ger is a new man at the bellows,
but a gentleman every inch of
him.
Another unexpected death is that
of Mr. S. C. Cartledge, of Bates
burg, well known in this commu
nity and highly esteemed, ire
died of grip, we understand, after
a short illness, leaving a wife and
eight children to mourn their loss.
Four days after the death of Mr.
S. C. Cartledge his brother, Mr.
Jerry Cartledge, died at his home
near Meeting Street, of the same
disease.
Mr. E. H. Aull, editor of the
Newberry Herald and News, made
our office a pleasant call on last
Saturday. This gentleman is an
indefatigable worker and one of
the best newspaper men in the
State. While here he advised us
that Mr. John A. Chapman, New
berry's venerable historian, had
almost completed his history of
jSdgf field county, and that it would
b'? ready for the press in a ?hort
time,

Rev. M. M. Brabham will preac
in our village Methodist Chu rc'
on Sunday morning next. Let
goodly congregation assemble t
hear the new pastor.
Two Pauls.
Little Lizzie Lou is the brigb
five-year-old daughtei of Mr. Barr

to Sunday-school, and for som
time has been hearing about an
learning about the Apostle Paul

A large number of ourtownsfoll
are ill with the grip. It is no
generally known that this diseas
is contagious, but it will be ob
served that where it enters a famih
it generally affects all the mern
bern, and to use a paradox it i
more dangerous after you get wei
of it than it is while you have it
lu a very recent medical work Dr
Pepper, a dintiuguished physiciai
of Philadelphia, warns personi
who have just recovered agains
exposure to the danger of re-in

ed under such circumstances ar<
apt to prove very serious."
Welcomed to Edgefield.
Rev. Mr. Brabham, the new pas
tor of our Methodist Church
preached his first sermon here OL
Dec. 24th, at ll o'clock. In th<
evening of the same day specia
services were held, all Christiar
denominations of our town anc
their pastors uniting to welcome
Mr. Brabham to our community
Many felicitous remarks were mad(
by the ministerial brethren pres
ent, and a most cordial greeting
extended to the new laborer in th it
part of the Lord's vineyard. Wi
understand that the Methodisl
congregation are delighted with
Mr. Brabham.
He Smole a Smile.
A youug Edgefield girl and hes
beau were slightly disconcerted a
few evenings ago by the sudden
entrance of the old gentleman
into the parlor. He looked wrathy.
the girl giggled, and the beau
looked to see if the door was open,
But the quick-witted young girl
solved the problem, and poured
oil on the waters about to be
troubled by saying "It's all right,
father, I'm going into the hands
of a receiver, and you'll soon have
no more taxes to pay on my ac
count." The old gentleman's
brow cleared, ho smole a smile,
for he was a powerful anti man,
and the antis, you know, all favor
receivers.
Time Extended.
The time for paying taxes has
been extended to the first day of
February. On Saturday last, the
30th of December, the Comptroller
General forwarded io the different
counry treasurers of the State the
following circular of instructions :
DEAR SIR : Pursuant to authority
conferred upon Jme as Comptroller
General of South Carolina, by
Section 552. General Statues of
this State, the time for collecting
taxes without the penalty for the
fiscal year commencing Novemher
1st, 1892, and ending 31st October
1893, is hereby extended to the first
day ot February, 1894. Respect
fully, W. H. ELLERBE.
Comptroller General.
Approved :
B. R. Tillman, Governor.
Ordination of John Lake.
Last Sunday morning a most
solemn and impressive service was
held in our village Baptist Church.
This was the ordination of John
Lake to the ministry. So well
known and beloved by all classes
of our citizens is this youug dis
ciple that a large congregation was
in attendance and with sympa
thetic hearts gave wrapt attentiou
to the interesting services.
The sermon on the occasion was
preached by Rev. J. H. Boldridge,
of Batesburg, from Luke 17tb
chapter, 20th and 21st verses :
"And when he was demanded of
the Pharisees, when the kingdom
of God should come, he answered
them and said, The kingdom of
God cometh not with observation :
Neither, shall they say, Lo here !
orlo there! for behold, the king
dom of God is within you."
Mr. Boldridge's effort was a mas
terful one in which he expounded
the differences between the king
dom of Christ, established within
the hearts and souls of men, and
the mere human organization of
the church with its varied denomi
nations and its frequent failures
and mistakes. In clear and forci
ble language the speaker portrayed
the beauties of this spiritual king
dom to which all who love Christ
belong, and th-i obligation resting
upon all to labor and pray for its
extension until the glorious day
when the saved ot all the ages
Jesv and Gentile, Scythian, Greek,
bond and free-shall crown Jesus
Lord of all.
Mr. Mealing made a beautiful
prayer, during which the hands of
the'three ministers were laid upon
the candidate and John Lake or
dained to preach the gospel.
Dr. Gwaltuey, the beloved pastor,
then delivered the charge. In
toucning words ho referred to the
consecration of the young minister
asa sequence of the piety of father,
and grandfather, and other kins
men for many g?n?ration? baca;
he gently and affectionately ad
monished him to hold fast to the
strong words of Holy Writ and to
purity of life and faith, and wel
comed him to the great brotber
h )od of ministers who preach
Christ and Him crucified to dying
men.
With a vcice which trembled
with deep emotion the newly or
dained minister pronounced the
benediction, and the solemn ser
vice came to a close.
Perfectly Satisfied.
Col. Sam Strom was in town on
Tuesday. In a little talk with UK
he said that during a life of eighty
odd years he had never become so
well acquainted with old man
"Hard Times" as during the year
1S93. He went on to say : "I don't
owe a dollar in the world that I
know of, and I haven't got the dol
lar to pay it if I did, but I am per
fectly satisfied, nevertheless-just
as well this way as any other." A
philosophical way to view things,
and one that we commend to our
readers.
Mr. Mealing's Sermon.
Edgefield ie alwa\ s delighted to
hear the Rev. John P. Mealing.
This pleasure was afforded us on
Sunday evening last in the Baptist
Church. The theme selected was
drawn from the epistle of James
4:7 and 10:
"Submit yourselves therefore
unto God. Resist the devil and he
will flee from you."
"Humble yourselves in the sight
of the Lord, and he will lift you
up."
This discourse was eminently
practical, especially in the allu
dions and application to the strin
gency of the times, showing that
all extremes in life are times of
great temptation as well as of
grand opportunities. Either the
condition of much prosperity or
tho exigencies of poverty are crises
of danger as well as of possible
blessings. Agur wisely said : "Give
me neither poverty nor riches ; *
* * Lest I be full and deny Thee,
and say, Who is the Lord? or lest
I be poor and steal." Let the
emergencies with which the om
ing ye.ir will be fraught, give us
opportunities to glorify God, in
submitting to His providences.
Mr. Mealing said that he did not
hear much in these times of the
providence of God, that people
seemed to think that God had
created tho world and then left it
alone. Not so, God's hand is in
everything, the "same yesterday,
to-day, and forever." "My brethren
count it all joy when ye fall into
divers temptations." Knowing that
the trying of your faith worketh
patience."

FLORENCE ADAMS, Presid't.
Old Counties vs. New.
The following is an extract from
the speech of Hon. W. H. Yeldell
in the House of Representatives
on the bill to establish Greenwood
county. It shows that although
an advocate of the bill, he yet had
a fond recollection of old Edge
field and has not forgotten past
favors and honors ;
MR. SPEAKER:
"It is perfectly natural for the
old counties to regret our separa
tion, and to protest against dis
mernberment.-We, too, Mi. Speak
regret the necessity for this chanj
Who is it that does not honor ai
revere his native county? As f
rae, Mr. Speaker, whenever I thii
of changing my citizenship, whe
ever I think of leaving old Edg
field the same feelinga come ov
me that I had when I left n
parental roof. She has been tl
home of my ancestors for gener
tions. She is the laud that ga1
me birth, my mother. I knc
three-fourths of her people, ar
have shared of their means ar
their hospitality. I am at hon
wherever I go within her border
And, Mr. Speaker, she has honore
me whenever I have desired to t
honored. Six years Ihaverepn
sented her in this house, and I bi
lieve I could have represented h(
six years more if I had so desire*
I ara the president of her Allianc
and the chairman of her demo?
racy. For eight or ten years I ha\
been given another position whie
I regard of far more honor tba
either of these. Yes I love ol
Edgefield, and am proud of he
glorious past, and of the men wh
have made her history. But, M:
Speaker, there are times when w
should not allow sentiment t
overshadow a plain duty, nor pre
vent us from doing that which w
believe to be right. I support th i
bill because I believe it to be right
because I believe it to be a matte
of justice to this people. I hav
been told, Mr. Speaker, that i
would have been better for me nc
to have advocated this measure
But, sir, how could I turn a dea
ear to the prayers of eigb t hundrei
or one thousand of my constitu
ents? If, when they come to m
and asked me if I would no
espouse their cause and represen
them upon the floor of this house
knowing they would be debarrei
from appearing in person am
speaking for themselves, I hai
with tremulous voice, said "na?
sirs, please excuse me. I kno\
your cause is a just one and
know your privations and incon
veniences. If you should win i
would be all right, but if yoi
should fail I would be political!;
damned." If I had said this, Mi
Speaker, I ought to be political!;
damned, driven to some vast wil
derness, some boundless contiguity
of shade."
Rifflit Way to View lt.
Palmetto Post, Conservative'
Since -our .last issue it hai
pleased the General Assembly, th<
sovereign power, in its election o:
an Associate Justice and three
Judges to replace some of the ole
officials with new men. That the
old Judges were conscientioui
men learned in the law goes with
out saying, and in their retiremenl
from public office they take with
them the respect of the people
They have served their time,
faithfully and as the light
appeared to them. They have nol
been removed to make place foi
other men, but they have not been
re-elected-that is all, and it is
uo discredit to them. They were
not at first elected for life, but for
a term, and this alone should
show that the sovereign people,
through their representatives in
the Legislature, retained the
power and privilege to either
re-elect them or supply the places
held by them with others. We
take no stock in the wholesale
denunciation of such action on
the part of the Legislature that is
boing indulged in by some of the
newspapers, neither do we take
part in ihe attempt to belittle the
new men called to high position.
Their very elevation is sufficient
to prove that the people, the best
judges, are satisfied that they will
wear the ermine with dignity and
credit. That spirit which en
deavors to inculcate the idea that
because a mantnever was a judge
he should never be a judge is old
and effete, and smacks too much
of royal oligarchy to influence the
action of the free-born men of
Carolina, and should not be con
tenanced by anybody.
??Until Hell Freezes Over"
DENVER. Dec. 21.-A meeting
of business men of t^e State to
day adopted a resolution disap
proving Gov. Waite's proposition
to call an extra session of the
Legislature. The Governor was
invited to address the meeting. He
said much could be done to relieve
the laboring men, and he further
thought it was high time that the
people of the Sta'e showed the
East that the silver issue is not
dead. Said he :
.'The people should not look
tamely upon the insults from the
present Administration, the gold
bugs and the old parties. I am in
favor of fighting for free coinage at
16 to 1 not only all summer but
until hell freezes over."
The Governor shouted this ex
pression at the top of his voice
and then left the hall. Some of the
business men laughed and some
applauded.
The world is sadly in need of
an invention that will warn people
when they have talked enough.
BL?jDON KILLS A NEGRO.
And is Himself Shot, it is sup
posed?Fatally,in the Melee.
The following account ot the
killing of a negro by Jack Bladon,
formerly of Edgefield, is taken
from one of the Spartanburg
papers of Saturday last.
"At eight o'clock last night the
first blood was drawn and as a
result, Henry Palmer lies stiff in
death and Constable John Bladon
languishes with a mortal wound.
Henry Palmer ?B a tall mulatto
negro who formerly drove the
wagon for the Piedmont Steam
Bottling Works.
Yesterday afternoon the con
stabulary went before Justice
Gentry and procured warrants for
his arrest and also search warrants.
The men went to Palmer's house
in Hamburg and attempted to
arrest the negro when the fight
occured.
WHAT JACKSON SAYS :
Constable Jackson says that he,
Bladon and Pearson went over to
serve the warrants- They knocked
at the door and told them to open.
Palmer came to the door
and Bladon told him to consider
himself under arrest.
Henry Palmer jerked back and
seemed to be tryiug to pull a pis
tol. Just then the woman came
with a gun and Henry told her to
shoot. She cocked both barrels
and drew down on me when I
grabbed the gun. Bladon and the
negro were scuffling near the door
when a shot was fired. It was just
outside the door and Bladon was
shot. Henrv Palmer shot him. I
don't know what it was he shot
him with. Did not see but the
one shot gun there, that was the
one I took from the woman. That
gun is still loaded and was not
fired. I think if Bladon is shot
with |6hot, it must have been a
pistol loaded with shot. He did
not have a gun. I did not examine
toseeifthe negro had a pistol.
Bladon was shot and I carried him
to town to see a doctor.
CARRIE PALMER'S TALE :
Carrie Palmer is an intelligent
looking mulatto woman, the wife
of the dead man. She told the
story of the killing as follows:
The three men, Bladon, Jackson
and Pearson, came to the door and
my little brother opened it. Thc
men came in and two of thom
grabbed Henry and told him to
consider himself under arrest" The
father man grabbed tho gun lying
on the bed.
Themen got to scuffling and
just after they goL out of the door
a shot was fired. This is the shot
that struck Bladon. Bladon fired
then and Henry was trying to get
away from him. The two men had
hold of him and when they got
outside the yard Henry was about
to twist himself away when Bladon
fired again and killed Henry
dead.
She said that her husband had
no weapon of any kind on the
place except the shot gun, that
he never had a pistol there in two
years.
She says that there were two
men besides the constables stand
ing outside the door, and one of
them had a shot gun.
In this she is corroborated by
Mary Hail, her mother, who says
she saw a man outside the door
with a gun just about the time
Bladon was shot; that the man
had the gun up in front of him
when she saw him
Jackson says there were men
outside the house, but he did not
know them. Did not see any gun
except the one he brought away.
BLADON'S CONDITION.
Bladon was not in a condition
to talk, but says the negro shot
him.
His wounds were attended to by
Dr. L. J. Blake, who says that it
is load of small shot, which en
tered slightly from the rear, in the
soft part of the small of the back.
Several of the shots lodged in the
muscles, and some entered the
stomach. It is impossible to tell
the extent of the wound, but he
considers it dangerous,
. SOME THEORIES.
It is evident that Bladon was
shot just outside the door. While
Jackson says Palmer was trying
to draw a pistol he did not see a
pistol on his pei son or in his
hands. He did not have a gun and
no pistol was seen about him by
anybody. Bladon was shot in the
rear with a shot gun.
These facts seem to give
strength to the woman's statement
about the two men standing out
side while the raiding party went
in and it is the belief of many
who heard the story, that an out
sider, who has not yet .figured
fired the shot that hit Bladon.
Others think that the negro
fired the load of shot fj?om a pistol.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
There was neyer a time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences of
mahkind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in officiai life, require continual ac
cessions to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, wt o being
on the alert* and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepencies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-j
plication for patent. Valuable intersts
have been lost and destroyed in in
numerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never J
considered in view of a quick endeavor
to g.^t an allowance and obtain thf
fee then due. THE PRKSS CLAIMS
COMPANY, John Wedderburn, Generai
Manager, 618 F street, N. W., Wash
ington, D. C.. representing a large
number of important daily and weekly
papers, as well as general peoiodicals
of the country, was instituted to pro
tect its patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore emDloyed in this
line of business. The said Company
is prepared to take charge of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutf s ap
plications generally, including
mechanical inventions, design patents
trademarks, labels, copyrights, inter
ferences, infringements, validity re
ports, and gives especial attention to
rejected cases. It is also prepared to
enter into competition with any firm
in securing foreign patents.
