An Illinois newspaper, in sum
ming up the-cyclone record of the
past year, says : "They turned a
well wreng side out in the state of
Mississippi ; turned a cellar upside
down in Wisconsin ; moved a town
ship line in Nebraska ; blew all of
the staves out of a whiskey barrel
in Iowa and left nothing but the
bung hole; changed the day of the
week in Ohio ; killed au honest
Indian agent in the far west;
blew the hair off a bald-headed
man in Texas; killed a truthful
lawyer in Illinois; blew the
mortgage off a farm in Minnesota ;
scared a red-headed woman in
Michigan ; blew the cracks out of a
fence in Dakota, and took all the

Kansas." .
We are glad to announce that
Mr, J. W. Courtland, manager of
the Keeley Institute of South Car
olina has opened f* branch in Ai
ken. Dr. B. F. Wyman, who is
well known throughout this* sec
tion of counrty, and who has re
cently had special training under
Dr. Keeley at Dwight 111., will be
physician in charge. The purpose
of the Institute, as many of our
readers know, is to cure the liquor
and opium habits and* nerve ex
haustion. Some hundreds have
already been cured at the Colum
bia Institute. These remedies have
the endorsement of the United
States Government, and have been
used for more than a year in the
homes for disabled soldiers and
sailors, which isa guarantee of their
worth. It is a great work and wo
welcome the Institute to this sec
tion of the State.
Good Advice.
The Easley Damocrat says:
"Don't plant more than 12 acres
to the horse this year in cotton,
and plant at least 20 acres in corn ;
and also raise at least two litters
of pigs of the finest breed of hogs
you can get. This is important
advice; it amounts to meat and
bread with you.
Snow Years.
Mr.?Williajm Durst, of Ridge, in
speaking of the big snows of this
winter, told us on Monday, that in
March, 1850 the snow fell 13
inches deep on a level, aud that
year was an extraordinarily good
,crop year. "Snow years are good
years," seems to be a tradition of
long standing amoug farmers and
one which has a broad basis of
truth for its underpining.
A Terrible Accident.

?ctly' how it happened w ill ^never

harrowing acoid?nt.

Two Kinds of Sauce.
Mr. Jas. B. Adams, who lives
three miles the other side of Choty,
and baa to nabs through that cele
brated region coming to and going
from our town, says lhat the Cho
rariau8, each ana every one of
them, are preparing to go into the
hands of a receiver. Not that they
are strapped, or ?wart t to evade, or
avoid the payment of their debts,
but they want to test Judge Simon
ton's decision in the railroad cases.
They wish to see if Simontou will
give them the same sauce he gave
to the South-Carolina Railroad, a
sauce which keeps that road from
paying its State and county taxes.
Get Your Papers.
You people who are in the habit
of leaving your papers in the
clerk's office, after they have been
recorded ; did you ever think of
the risk you run? Suppose there
wag a fire, for instance. Not only
the copy of your papers would be
destroyed, but the original along
with thom, and there ' would be jao
way to prove your claim. Better
take your papers from the clerk
after they are recorded. If there
is a fire at home the clerk has a
co'py, and if there is a fire at the
court house, you have the original.
This makes you absolutely safe
with two chances. The other way
you run the risk of having]'all evi
dences of your claims wiped out
within a few minutes.-.Ex.
Bridge at Chappell*.
Mr. J. R. Irwin, one of the most

fiflld counties- that the county
commissioners of the two counties
determined at their meeting on
last Thursday, to go to work and
complete the bridge at Chappells

A Son to be Proud Of.
Hou. W. H. Yeldell, chairman
of the ways and means' committee
of the House of Repr?sentatives,
was in town on Monday and Tues
day of this week,, greeting his
many friends from various in fact
all parts of the county. Mr. Yel
dell is one of the biggest and
strongest vertebra in the back-bone
of the Reform movement in this
State, and Edgefield is proud of
his record, and that she has a son
who has followed and will con
tinue to follow the banner' of Re
form so long as it shall continue
to move forward and not backward,
a banner that is broad enough and
long enough to enfold all the sons
of Carolina whose heads are level
and whose hearts are patriotic.

Mine Creek Notes.
MR. EDITOR : In the publication
of your .valuable paper of 23rd
inst., I observe in the article of
"B." of Newberry College a para
graph relative to the redemption
of Mexico from Roman Catholic
ism. B. reproduces the language of
Dr. Powell, a missionary to Mexi
co, and says it is encouraging in
deed to hear that Mexico is re
deemed from Catholicism and that
the country is now.open for Pro
testant denominations.
Now, I think it my painful duty i
to reply to an article of this char
acter, as it could not havo been
published for any other motive
than to prejudice Protestants
against Catholics. Even if ' Dr. j
Powell used the above language, it '
showed a very prejudiced heart on j
the part of "B." to reproduce that J
miall part of his sermon only, and j
bave it published to tb rill ?s ~* ;
these our days.
And "Mexico is rede* ' c i
Catholicism." How "ej "
that news is to "B." of . -v ryj.:
College. Well, l am g;i I B
thing^??co?r?^s~^im, bv.? .
pect he is like myself, Iv ; ::
many difficulties thrown
path, but if I could not
thing more than the mi l
tation of other Christian iw^ouii- *
nations to encourage me, I think 1
[ should die in despair. Nothing
short of a narrow minded man can
have the audacity in this our free
country, where all Christian reli
gions are tolerated, to produce, or ;
reproduce anything that tends lo |
3tir up envy between Christiano, ?
and have it published to the 1
world.
If that prejudiced feeling to- -
wards Catholicism burns in my
friend "B.'B" bosom it would be
more tourable to confine it there
than to make it contagious.
I hope my friend "B." will cease ]
living in those old prejudiced days i
?f long ago, and live in these days j
Df enlightenment, when all Chris- i
thin denominations are beginning !
tb understand each other better, i
and n*o one has the finger of scorn J
pointed at him on account of Iiis i
faith. r . !
Farming is progressing very ;
nicely with us now' owing ?o the ?

Attractions to be Offered at the
Columbian Exposition in
Chicago.
Tho Exposition will offer the
spectacle of an exact reproduction
af a collision between two trains,
with real victimB of the disaster.
A veritable African expedition
with real negroes as, victims. Col,
Cody (Buffalo Bill) will have the
direction of the troops. 1
The throngs of European visitors
will be entertained with the .
spectacle of au American con- '
flagration. The fire will break out ;
at a given moment, and, before (
the fire-engines from all the dif- ?
ferent States can arrive by special 1
train, balf of Chicago will burn. j
This half will be rebuilt under !
the eyes of the public in twenty
seven hours, thirty-nine minutes,
and seven seconds. The public
will assist in the rebuilding. \
One of the greatest attractions
of the Exposition will be a volcano
three times the size of Vesuvius,
which will light and warm the
city.
A delicate attention to details
provides that in place of lava and
scoria, the. volcano will throw
forth, from time-to time, roses and
perfumed waters.
The expenses of the volcano
will be paid by firms who use it
as an advertising medium.
Machinery Hall will contain
many curious inventions; notably
an apparatus for warehousing the
winds, collecting and compressing
the Western cyclones.
This force of nature will be
condensed in tubes the size of a
hand ; and with it a child can
repulse a regiment.
But the crowning attaction or
pivot of the Exposition will be
the railway to the Antipodes. This
will be tubular, passing through
the axis of the world, thus avoid
ing all seasickness.
A negro familiarly known as "
Tim" White, on one occasion found
it necessary to record his full
name. The not unnatural sup
position that" Tim" stood for
Timothy was met with a flat
denial.
"No, sah I My right name is,
What-timor-eus-Bouls-we poor mor
tals-be White.. Dey jes' calls me
Tim fo'sho^sah!"

And a good lamp
must be simple; when it is not simple it is
i not good. Simple, Beautiful, Good-these
I words mean much, but to see "The Rochester "
will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal,
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,
it is absolutely safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin's
of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its mar
velous light is purer and brighter than gas light, ?
softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Look for this s ta tn p-Ta B ROCHESTER. If the lamp dealer hasn't the^e mi ino
Rochester, and the style you wast, send to us for our new illustrated catalogue,
L and we will send you a ?amp safely by exoress-your choice of over 2,000
I varieties from the Largest Lamp Store in the World.
