Edenfield Advertiser THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL IS, 1894. The Hartford Courant says that Tillman is a statesman and a leader of enlightened public opinion. Hicks says the 12th and 13th of April will be dates of severe storms The next severe period begins on the 17th and lasts four days. The United States Supreme Court has decided that lagar beer is not spirituous liquor, nor does it come uuder the head of wine. Assistant Adjutant General Watts has returned to Columbia from Charleston bringing with him all the arms and equipments of the fourth brigade. A traiu of twenty-three cars loaded with flour for shipment to Liverpool via Port Royal, South Carolina, left Chattanooga last Tuesday. A writer in The Forum states that President Cleveland says it was a mistake for him to be Presi dent again. It was worse than a mistake, it was a crime. Gov. Tillman is making arrange ments for an entire re-oganization of the State militia as the recent trouble has shown that he could not depend on the disbanded organizations. Cougressmau Latimer has in troduced a bill in congress to re fund every dollar of the fines col lected out of those sheriffs who levied upon the property of Rail roads last spring. The third annual convention of the Christian Endeavor societieE of South Carolina will be held in Columbia April 27th 29th. Round trip tickets will be on sale April 26 and 27, good to return till April 30. _ Gov. Tillman has offered a re ward of $500, in each case, foi th( apprehension and conviction oi the party or parties who broke inte and destroyed the liquor of thf dispensaries at Timmonsville anc Florence. The South Carolina road wat sold in Charleston last week foi *1,000,000. It ? bid ^in^by the is really now the owner. Prohibitionists of the State in each county are requested, by a committee of three who met in Columbia last week to elect de legates to a State convention to be held in Columbia on the 7th oi June, said convention to nomi n?te a State ticket if deemed ad visable. The Spartanburg Herald and the Greenville News are now calling on Gov. Hampton to organize his National League clubs. These are the same old clubs that Hampton tried to organize last year, and the people, with common consent, sat down on him. This proposition is stale and won't even fizz. It is stated that Gen. James Simons has been elected president of the News and Courir r company, and that he has promulgated an edict that no more lies shall be published about Gov. Tillman and the dispensary. The friends of the News aud Courier fear it will have to be reduced in size if this edict be carried out. Gov. Tillman has offered to the press for publication all the dis patches received or sent by him during, previous, and subsequent to the Darlington riot and relating to it. This ought to receive the commendation of the papers op posed to him politically for it ap pears that he has nothing to con ceal. But so far as we have seen no such commendation has been given. The State Reform Executive . Committee that met in Columbia on the 4th of April have called a nominating convention for the 14th of August. Said convention to be composed of delegates from each county, double its representation in the General Assembly. The club meetings will be held on the 4th of August, and the county convention to elect the delegates to Columbia, on the 6th of August. The Port Royal road which in cludes the Augusta and Knoxville road is the only railroad in the State that of its own motion offer ed to transport troops for Gov. Tillman over its lines during the Darlington riot. The fact thai Gov. Tillman unbottled this road -released it from the tentacles of its great enemy, the Central, no doubt had something to do with this generosity. Corporations may iiave souls after all. Comptroller-General Ellerbe re* porte that the Stato tax levy for the four years under Tillman is less j on the average than the four years of --Richardson. The Yorkville Yeoman calls Presiden t Cleveland the black-leg of the Democratic party. It begins to appear as if our President didn't belong to any party. Governor Tillman says he will not pardon the constables engaged in the Darlington riot if they have a fair trial and are found in the wrong. He does not intend to up hold violations of the law, and es pecially in a State's officer. The Rev, Thomas Dixon, D. D., the most celebrated of the younger preachers iu New York, speaking of the South Carolina dispensary law, says : The law of SoutL Carolina promises to give the death-blow to I the saloon. Knowing this, the liquor men, not only of that State, but of New York as well, are ar rayed in deadly opposition to a fearless, just, and honest governor, who is seeking to perform his duty to the people. Naturally we hear the same old twaddle about invad ing private rights of citizens. If we admit the right of a man to 'debauch and corrupt his fellow men, to ruiu homes and scatter families, ihen private rights have been invaded in South Carolina, [and Governor Tillman has been the leader of the invaders. If we deny this right, Governor Tillman has done hie duty fearlessly and well, and praise and credit are ! his. With the endorsement of Dr. Dixon Gov. Tillman may well be encouraged to say in regard to the abuse, condemnation, and vituper ation heaped upon him by ihe News and Courier and Columbia State, "None of these thinga move me." Negroes Called On, Too. Darlington Hcraltl, Anti. Mr. Ivohn, one of the corespon dents of the News and Courier, who was in ^arlington during the recent trouble, made a very great mistake when he said that the colored people were indifferent about the sad tragedy in which two of our citizcus were murdered. Ii fl he had seen some of the best and most intelligent coloced men of the lown gathering at the depot, on that sad afternoon, with arme in their hands, he would uevei have done them the injustice ol saying they were indifferent. They were just the reverse and if any oi those spies had fallen into theil quite a number of our colored fel low citizens remained all night with a squad that were trying to overtake the murderers. Butler on Tillman. News and Courier. Senator Butler says he is willing to compare records with Governor Tillman any time or place. This remark was called forth by the recent admonition ^f the Governor that Senator Butler should remain in Washington and attend to his Senatorial duties in anticipation 'of an indefinice furlough. The Senator said he had read the state ment purporting to come from Governor Tillman and in reply re marked: "Yes, it is very natural that Governor Tillman should not want me in the State of all men in the world. I puncture the bubbles he blows up, and of course he does not relish thaUI'll compare records of absence from our posts of duty with him. When I have been away from my post it has been iu the in terest of peace and harmony among our people, not buying whiskey with which he debanches them and stir up strife and leading to blood shed and violence among them. Besides thia I can be absent two thirds of my time and do more Igood to the people than he could by being on dutv all time." The Atlanta Constitution gives the following timely hint to far mers in this part of the country : "Tho recent untimely cold snap has played havoc with the grain and forage cross in the West. Wheat and oats have been so materially damaged that the out put will hardly suffice for home consumption. Tho prices of food 'crops this year will probably reach a high figure. This is something for Southern farmers to consider very seriously. They make a great mistake at any time when they send to tho West for graiu and forage, but if they do it this year the consequences will be ruinous. Before it is too late our farmers should strain every nerve to pre J duce food and forage crops that will sustain every man and beast in the South and leave a surplus for export to the West," Now, let us have poaco. Lot the towns-and tho country, foo-put down tho "blind tigers." Then thoro will not bo any necessity fora visit from thc constables. Illicit whiskey sellers ought not be tolerated, whether we believe in tho dispensary law or not. George town Times-anti. A big lot of Collar Pads at 35 each, at Ramsey & Bl an d's. mSHAW'S BUMAl. All The People do His Memory Honor. CAMDEN, April 14.-The funeral of Gen. Joseph. Kershaw, ex judge of the Fifth circuit, was held at 4 p. m. from the Episcopal church. Governor Tillman, Secre tarp of State Tindal, Superinten dent of Education Mayfield and Treasurer Bates were present, having come over on the morning train. Several gentlemen from Columbia and Sumter were also present. The remains lay in state at the church during the morning, iu charge of a bodyguard from the Survivors. The services were conducted by the rector, Rev. J. M. Stoney, after which the casket was borne from the chancecTto the hearse by grandsons of the General, who then turned the remains over to senior pall bearers. Gen. J. D. Kennedy, Col. E. B. Cantey. Maj. E. E. Still, Capt. William Clyburn, Mr. Alfred Brevard, Mr. G. G. Young. Dr. A. A. Moore and Capt. James I. Villepigue. The proces sion moved in the following order down Laurens to Broad and thence down Broad to the Quaker Ceme tery : Kershaw Lodge No, 29, A. F. M. The hearse, with senior pall bearers on each side. Survivors. State officials. The family and the general public. The proce8sson was in charge of Maj. James L. Haile and marched to muffled drums. As the cortege moved down Broad street it" was noticed thal, all places of business were closed, but the sidewalks were throngod with citizens of the town and country, both male and female, and of both races. It had been arranged to have all the bells tolled, but by spacial; request this was not done. There were in the procession seventy odd vehicles and several hundred perfoot, besides many who went to the ^cemetery by other . routes to avoid the dust. Gen. Kershaw was a good Mason, having at one time, for twenty years, been master of the local 1 lodge, and also being a Past Grand [ Master of the State. Up to the . time of his death he was a warden iu Grace church. The State officials returned to [ Columbia this afternoon. Among the dispatches -feceived given, and but for illness I should go Saturday. (Signed.) Wade Hampton." The Governor and other State officers were treated with the greatest courtesy, being guests of ; tho city of Camden. A Proposition for Peace. Columbia Register. The State has passed through a terrible ordeal in the last ten days. While its troubles were great enough, there was danger of worse. However, the danger has passed for the pressnt. Men are getting "cool again and now is the time to ask, "What's ahead?" Is strife to continue, or is peace to reign? That is for the conservatives to say. They can prove themselves con servatives in action as well as in name. The doors of the* reform church, so lo speak, are open, and all may enter who wish to do so. In 1892 the conservatives adopted the reform platform. If they were sincere and earnest in that, then what difference have they with the reformers? The ex tremists will never get together, they are irreconcilable. Time spent in trying to get them together is time wasted. There are conserva tives who hate every man who voted for Tillman, and there are reformers who look with suspicion on every reformer who has au anti for a friend. All of this is wrong. Differences of opinion should not be allowed to produce personal enmity. ? The reform executive committee has provided a way for all conser vative people to come together. The rules and regulations for the raform convention provide that at the club meetings for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention all shall be entitled to participate who "voted for tho re form delegates in the August primary |of 1893, and all others who will pledge themselves to abide by and support the reform ticket of the State reform conven tion of 1894." We believe that clause offers a chance for an end of the strife in this State; many conservatives are wi'ling to act with the re formers and desire an opportunity to part company with the more violent members of their faction, and will welcome a chance to do so. The offer is made to them and there is no reason why they should not receive it it. Big stock Saddles, all prices, just received at Ramsey & Wand's. Will almost make your pants laugh to ride on one of them.. i The Bishop ol' Chester, Eng. Writes another Jotter to GOT. Tillman : THE PALACE, CHESTER, April 5. Sir : I need not tell you that the liquor papers in this country have been rubbing their hands over and making all the capital they can out of South Carolina riots, while the Prohibitionists have endeavor ed to wash their hands of all res ponsibility. I therefore thought it it necessary to write a second letter to the Times, a copy of which I enclose herewith. I hope you will think that the Bpecial circumstan ces justified my reference to youi letter, which otherwise I should of course have regarded as strictly private and confidential. V I see with much pleasure in the morning's Times that everything is now quiet and sincerely hope that tho whiskey man and the party of disorder generally will have learned a valuable lesson. You are doubtless aware that in Sweden "The Brandy King" and his allies fought against the licensing reform for no less than fifteen years, but were at last completely vanquished. May I venture to suggest the expediency of an authentic ac count of the riots being sent as soon as possible to this country in order tc correct misrepresentations and false impressions? I need not say that if I can be of any use in the matter my servicee are readily at your disposal. I have tba honor to remain, sir' yours faithfully. F. J. CHESTER.

Note.-The editor of this papei has already receiued oopies ol If by any possiblity-through ? combination with the whiskej men-a prohibition law should be enacted,[the whiskey men would haye gained their point. Without money and without officers, the prohibitionists could no more enforce prohibition than Tillmac can enforce obedience to the dis pensary law. The people of the cities would snap their fingers at a prohibitory law, aud they would soon make it so odious that the bar-rooms would be opened again Let prohibitionists be on theil guard against the Greeks bringing gifts, and let them look out foi Trojan horses. The dispensary is not nearly sc drastic a measure as prohibition, but it is easier to enforce, and will result in more good to the morality and temperance of the people. It is a dull prohibitionist that cannot see that there is now in reality no prohibition party in South Carolina, and it would be a very credulous prohibitionist who could be led to hope that the sup port of the liquor men would be advantageous to a cause to which the iutereflts of their business and the convictions of their principles is opposed. We therefore, presume that the prohibition committee intended their manifesto to be merely an "April Fool,".-Press and Banner. IN MEMORIAM.
