Contributed Local.
A. S. Tompkins, Esq., furnishes
us the following: Mr? J.'KGibson\
of Bennettsville, S. C.,.State lec
turer and organizer of the Good
Templars, delivered a very fine ad
dress at the Y. M. C. A. hall in
this place on last Friday. Mr.
Gibson has been in the newspaper
business for a number of years,
and is a gentleman of education
and ability. Ho is ^wwfine
speaker, and being a ye^eaVuest
temperance man hie,sentences fail
from his lips with the genuine ring
of conscientious ' conviction. In
giving a short history of the or
ganization, it became necessary to
speak of the Dispensary law. He
stated that as a prohibitionist he
could not endorse the law, but that
some of the best men in the State
differed with bim in that particu
lar, and that he hoped that it would
prove a benefit to the State. Mr.
Gibson lectured at Johnston on
Saturday, and is doing a noble
work.
The Rev. W. S- -Jacobs.
The Presbyterian Church was
filled to overflowing on Sunday
morning last to hear a sermon
from Mr. Jacobs, the newly ap
pointed pastor. Mr. Jacobs is
quite young and has recently
graduated at the Seminary in Co
lumbia. His language is charac
terized by great fluency -and ease
of expression, and his selection of
words displays acute discernment
and discrimination.
The services were opened by a
solo by Miss Marie Abney, "Joy
to the World." The songs selected
were three of the good old hymns
that are welcome to every ear:
"Nearer My God to Thee," "Come
Thou Fount of Every Blessing,"
and "Jesus, Lover.of My Soul.''
It would be impossible in a
short article to render justice to
the eloquent remarks made by Mr.
Jacobs, but we will endeavor to
give a few of the main ideas ex
pressed in the discourse. The text
was taken from the 25th chapter
of St. Matthew, the entire chapter
being used as a ground work for a
talk which was made exceedingly
interesting.
"And five of them were wise and
five were foolish."
"They that were foolish took
their lamps, and took no oil with
them. But the wise took oil in I
their vessels with their lamps."
There are differences of opinion
as to the definition of the word oil
in this conrjectiop^ tf?ej prinoipa^
requisite of ^Christianity present
ing itself dissimilarly to various
minds ; the most notable authori
ties however believe it to mean
most probably the effectual work
ing8 of the Holy Spirit in 1
hearts of men.
Another,. ;? expxess[oi5L. u.i

of much thought and a mattel
controversy, is the phrase. "1
kingdom of heaven" of "The lui
dom of God." It is by all st
poned to .mean the church of G
on earth, but the essentials of tl
church organization bring foi
the most discussion. The m<
rigid view of the matter is that t
church of God is a body of rege
?rate souls, and that no church c
be properly so-called jf it contai
one unregenerate soul. This arg
ment can be overthrown by ajo
at the parables in the Bible ref<
ring to that subject. First, t
parable of the draw-net whi
Christ likened unto the kingdc
of heaven. It was cast into t
sea and gathered of ever}' kin
both good and bad and not un
the net was brought to shore wi
there a separation. Again in t
parable of the tares, the kingdo
of heaven' is likened unto a mi
which sowed good seed in his fio]
and afterwards the tares wer*? al
sowed, but when the 'servants
the householder told him of it, ]
directs that the tares be left wi
the wheat intil the harvest,*
which time the tares should 1
burned and the wheat is gather?
into his barn. So in the chun
of Godvthere are tares among tl
wheat, there are faithless amoi
the faithful, but God the gre
householder waitB till the summ
is ended and the harvest is con
to gather his own into the grei
storehouse in the New Jerusalem
The Protestant Church conceivi
the church organization to consi
of all credible believers in tl
Lord Jesus Christ together wit
those that have lived and will liv
an invisible and visible churc]
The church visible has no savin
properties outside of the fact thi
we ere believers in Christ Jesus.
This lesson should be one I
teach us charity and love towarc
our sister churches. There shoul
not berthe inclination in on
hearts'^to criticise sincere efforl
made by"them for the good of hi
manity. Constitution, tempen
nient, ?nd .surroundings make dil
?fereuces of opinion necessary an
"desirable, and although necessit
demand? a diversity in doctrinei
there can - and must be unity i
purpose and design.

. MR. EDITOR : The commencemen

ed ai?ong the things that are pass
ed, but the 18th and 19th days o
June will ever be a green spot i:
the memory of those who were foi
t?nate enough to witness th
closing exercises. Sunday/ th
18th, the commencement serrhoi
preached, by Rev. G. W. Busse;
from the text, "Let all grow to
.gether until the harvest," was ap
propriate and eloquent.
Monday morning and afterupoi
the services consisted of declama
tions-and recitations by sixty o
jmore- ^pupils,, with several pretb
duets and songs. The pupils eacl
showing evidence of intellectua
training.
At ll a. m. Mr. T. Harry Garret

.'Then came the concert. Wher

order to get desirable seats. Thu
house was soon filled, and ever
standing room was not to be had
The music by the Glantou bane

at the piano and cornetist Reese
and Delf, was of itself a grane
treat. The concert was BO brilliani
that it would have to be seen, foi
my pen cannot do justice in the
attempted description. It will
suffice to say that each pupil acted
hie part so well that a profes
sional might have envied them
The concert closes and we turn oui
faces homeward, feeling happy
over the pleasures of the past, but
sad from "the thought that Miss
Willie Hudson had decided to
change her field. However, she
leaves a field of well trained
scholai8 and the lady who succeeds
her will find a school well up with
modern times.
The trustees would like to hear
from some of tho lady teachers
who wish employment. Applica

MR. EDITOR : The next meeting
of the Edgefield County Medical
Society will be held at Edgefield
C?H..Wednesday .after the.second
Sunday in July prox.
?/Ewo of the most seien?ific and
enterprising young physicians ir)
the State, one living at Johnston
aud the other at Trenton, have
written urging me to arouse inter
est in our society, which seems tc
be waning, from the fact that by
some misunderstanding we failed
to meet at our last regular time
for meeting. I beg to assui e these
young practitioners, upon my own
responsibility, however, that the
society is not dead, as one would
infer from thc..-letters, upon the
.following grounds: I believe we
have as many physicians in old
Edgefield who love their profession
and who feel their responsibilities
as keenly as in any other county
in the State, and if I am correctly
informed, all the other counties in
the State have live, enthusiastic
associations; therefore I am un
willing to admit that the physi
cians in our own native county are
less-enterprising.
I earnestly request every physi
cian, in the county, "who knows
himself to be in good standing,"
to attend our next meeting, which
takes place as above stated.

Starve House Flies.
4 \ ?
New York Ledger. v
"No, thank you, my dear. I do
not want any fly papers or fly
traps ; bout my house. I learned
a great many years ago that the
more things we have to call flies
the more will come. In a neigh
borhood where flies were simply a
nuisauce I lived almost unmolested
by them because I never permitted
a particle of stale food to ac
cumulate about the premises.
"Flies, like a good many other
things, will never stay where they
are in danger of starvation, and I
never kept anything about the
place to feed them with, not even
fly paper. Everything that could
not be bumed was carried as far
from the house as possible and
buried. All garbage is valuable as
a fertilizer, and I utilize it as
such.
It is my opinion that every form
of fly paper, fly poison, and fly
trap, which is baited with any
substance, is just so much induce
ment for them to stay around the
house. They think-if flies think
at all-that they are going to get
something to eat, and therefore
hang around. The best fly preven
tative is starvation."

% AT THE DISPENSARY*
The Big T/hanks the Bottling and
Sealing Machines an d
. Other Apparatus.
Columbia Journal.
Much has been said about the
State Dispensary through the
newspapers during the last thirty
days, but it has been in such a
desultory and disconnected way
that the public has had a poor
idea of the actual working of that
now famous institution of South
Carolina,
A Journal reporter was granted
the freedom of the Dispensary
building yesterday. He saw the
full force at work bottling the
poison which is to be dispensed by
State authorities to the citizens of
this grand and glorious old Com
monwealth.
Itwas a-busy scene, and, to the
thoughtful, aa intensely interest
ing one.
Everything is now in smooth
working order. There is a working
force in the bottling aud shipping
department of nineteen men, thir
teen boys, seven women, and seven
girls, white, and four negro men,
making a total of fifty people, be
sides two foremen. They were all
busy while the reporter was there
and appeared to be doing a great
deal of work. Their work may be
better told of in a description of
the process of preparing the
liquors for distribution.
The Dispensary is fitted up with
three large tanks, capable of
holding forty barrels of liquor
each ; two large tanks for the pur
pose of washing bottles, a twelve
horse Tozier engine, with boiler
to suit, a steam corking machine
as well as a hand corking machine,
two eight-bottle and two six-bottle
fillers, aud an elevator to transport
the liquors from one floor to the
other, bnsides other minor
equipments necessary to the busi
ness.
The basement floor is used to
stere empty bottles, casks, etc., for
the purpose of bottle washing. On
the second, or main floor, the big
tanks are located, and it is there
that the general work of bottling,
packing, etc., is done. The third
floor is used to store anything that
.is convenient.
The liquor is sent to the third
floor, where it is emptied into a
trough, six barrels at a time. Ths
fluids are then conducted by mealis
of pipes to the big tanks on the
second, or main floor. Around
these tanks the fillers are situated,
.with the sealing basins near by.
AU four of the filling machines are
"nm most; of the time, each filler
being operated by a boy. As he
fills a rack of bottles, it is removed
by a truckman and placed at a
sealing stand, where one young
girl dips the mouth of the bottle
in a pot of liquid sealing wax,
pushing it to another who stands
near her ready to place the seal of
the State Dispenser upon it.
Thence it is trucked to a table
near by, where it is labelled by
another young woman. From this
table it is trucked to the wrappers
-men and boys who occupy low
stools or sit upon the floor-who
stick tho bottle in a ready pre
pared felt wrapper. Thence it is
passed to the packers, who make
it ready for shipment by packing
it in barrels, using cotton seed
hulls as packing instead of straw
or sawdust, which is ordinarily
used. It; is then ready for the
shipping clerk.
The working force is distributed
as follows: One cooper, five fillers,
three corkers, two truckmen, four
wrappers, and four packers, all
white, four negro men being used
for general work.
Col. F" M. Mixon is general
foreman, and W. J. NcKitlney is
foreman of. the bottling depart
ment. Under these two the force is
fast growing proficient.
.'KINDS OF LIQUORS.
. Up to this time the Dispensary
has . only received straightrye
whiskey and one lot of gin, the
latter comprising forty barrels.
The rye whiskey is graded X, XX,
XXX, all bearing the Palmetto
brand. The past three weeks has
been consumed in bottling the X
and XX whiskey. Yesterday the
-bottling of gin was begun and the
task was nearly completed during
the day. As soon as that is finished
the force will begin the bottling
of XXX!. The Dispensary will
handle saven brands of beer, all of
American manufacture
The assortment of fine wines
and cordials that will be handled
has yet to be determined, after
finding out what the trade will
demand.
One carload of "Old Velvet
Rye" has been ordered and. i s
now on the way and will probably
be in the Dispensary before the
first of next week.
So far there has not boen a ship
ment mfide from the dispensers,
to any ol' the county Dispensers,
though two orders have been
received and others are daily
looked for. In conclusion, the
Journal man can say that the
Dispens8.ry is about ready for the
work of distributing whiskey
bearing the seal of the State, to
its patrons, and no ono will find
this commonwealth wanting in
liquid supplies from and after
July 1st.
A TON OF SEALING WAX.
The Dispensary does nothing by
halves, as is clearly proven by their
order of a ton of corks some time
ago, and now they have followed
that up with an order for one ton
of sealing wax, which was made
yesterday.

"Twelve Years of Established
Merit-A Warning.
To THE PUBLIC : As a matter of
justice to ourselves and to the rep
utation of Dr. Leslie E. Keeley's
'Double Chloride of Gold Reme
dies, for the cure of the liquor,
opium, morphine, and tobacco dis
eases, and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are
used by no institution or sanita
rium in the United States except
those established by our company,
under the uniform name of "The
Keeley Institute."
All others claiming to "use Dr.
Keeley's Remedies or formulas are
frauds and impostors.
The Keeley Institutes establish
ed in various parts of the United
States now number ninety, with
three in Europe, where the Keeley
Treatment is administered and the
Keeley Remedies sold! We, how
ever, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing
with genuine repr?sentatives, au
thorized by us, before taking treat
ment or purchasing remedies.
The misleading establishments
use the name of "Bi-Chloride of
Gold,".or similar titles. The news
papers often fail to discriminate
sufficiently to know that they are
imitators. This is a matter of pub
lic welfare, and hence this warn

Endorsed By The. S Govern

The efficacy of Dr. Leslie E.
Ke?ley's Double Choloride of
Gold Remedies has been so pub
licly acknowledged and thoroughly
recognized throughout the civilized
world, that the recent endorsement
by the Government removes all
questions of doubt as to their
virture and genuineness. On
February 13, 1892, General Wm.
B. Franklin, President of the Board
of Managers of the National
Military Homes for Disabled
Soldiers and Sailors, authorized a
contract with The Leslie E. Keeley
Co for the use of Dr. Keeley'6
Remediesin the seven Natina?
and twenty-one-Stats Homes in the
United States.
General Franklin, in a letter
regarding this contract and Dr.

HOME TREATMENT.
Acceding to the wishes of mauy
physicians and others, Dr. L. E.
Keeley bas placed the Double
Chloride of Gold in the form of a
Home Treatmont for the benefit of
those wh-.), for any reason, cannot
avail themselves of the Sanitarium
Treatment. Its merits have been
fully tested for more than twelve
years, and we have no hesitation
in pronouncing it to be what the
press has already named
"AN INFALLIBLE C?EE FOR DRUNKENNESS."
We are prepared to give all cases
special advice and attention by
correspondence throughout the
treatment and to look closely after'
each case from beginning to finish ;
the object being to save the victim
from the Liquor Habit wherever
found, and to certainly make a
Cure in every Case to which the
Remedy is sent. No additional
charge is made for such services.
Report blanks are sent with the
Remedy for Home Treatment, one
of which the patient is requested
to fill out every three days and re
turn tous, which is answered by a
personal letter of advice and in
structions. By this system of Re
port blanks we keep a close watch
over the treatment, taking charge
of it from beginning to finish, and
thus facilitate the cure.
The price of the Remedy is $9.00
per pair, and, being a liquid, must
be shipped by express.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get 2,500 Dollars
for Nothing.
The Winner Has a Clear Gift of
a Small Fortune, an dthe Losers
Have Patents that may Bring
Them bi Still more.
Would you like to make twenty-five
hundred dollars? If you would, read
carefully what follows and you may
see a way to do it.
The Press Clams Company devotes
much attention to patents. It has
handled thousands of applications for .
inventions, but it would like to handle
thousands more. There ls plenty of
inventive talent at large in this coun
try, needing nothing but encourage
ment to produce pratical results. That
encouragement the Press Claims
Company proposes to give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SKEM6.
A patent strikes most people as an
appallingly formidable thing. The idea .
is that an inventor must be a natural
genius, like Edison or Bell; that he
must devote years to delving in
complicated mechancial problems and
that he must spend a fortune on
delicate experiments before he can
get a new device to a patentable de
gree of perfection. This delusion the
company desires to dispel. It desires to
get into the head, of the public a clear
comprehension of the fact that it is
not the great, complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple,
and cheap ones-the things that seem
so absurdly trivial that the average
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed
of. bringing them to the attention of
the Patent^Office.
Edison says that the profits he has
received from the patents on all his
marvelous inventions have not been
sufficient to" pay the cost of his ex
periments But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a childes ball, so that it would
come back to the hand when thrown
made a fortune out of his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is a miracle
of ingenuity-the product of the toil
of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole
brilliant result rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle
at the point instead of at the other end.
THE LITTLE THING 8 THE MOST VALU
ABLE.
^Comparatively rew people ? regard
themselves as Inventors, but [almost
everybody has been struck, at one
time or another, with ideas that seemed
calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such are ideas
dismissed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its car windows so that they can
be slid up and down without breaking
the passengers' backs?" exclaims the
traveler. "If I were running the road
I would make them in such a way."
,'What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking of?" grumbles the
cook. "Fe never had to work over a
stove, or he would have known how it
ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button !" growls
the man who is late for breakfast "If I
were in the business I'd make buttons
that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or
gouge out the back of my .neck."
And then the various sufferers for
get about their grievancet and begin
to think of something else. If they
would sit down at the next convenient
opportuni.y, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepan a.and collar buttons
into practical snape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves
as independently wealthy as the man,
who invented the iron umbrella ring
or the one who patented^the?fifteen
puzzle.
A TEMPTING OFFER.J
To induce people to keep track of
their bright ideas and see what there
is in them, the Press. Claims Company
has resolved to offer a prize.
To tbe person whs submits to it the
simplest and most promising inven
tion, from a commercial point of view,
the company will give twenty-five
hundred dollars in cash, addition to
refunding the fees for securing the
patent. ?.
It will also 'advertise the [invention
free of charge*
This offer is subject to the following
conditions .'.
Every competitor must obtain a
patent for his invention through the
company. He must first apply for a
preliminary search, the cost of which
will be five dollars. Should this search
show his invention to be u n pa ten table
he can withdraw without further ex
pense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take
out a patent in the regular way. The
total expense, including Government
and Bureau fees.will be seventy dollars.
For this, whether he secures the prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent
that ought to be a valuable property
to him. The prize will be awarded by
a jury consisting of three reputable
patent attorneys of Washington. In
tending competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with
their application :
"-,-,1892.
"I submit the within described in
vention in competition for the
Twenty-five hundred Dollar Prize
offered by the Press Claims Company.
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.
This is a competition of rather an
unusual nature. It is common to offer
prize?,for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the los's of their labor and the
successful one merely [selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only a stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan fora club house
on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents a simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company's competi
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has a substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the marketat
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanizal expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and nopularity, will get the
Press Claims Compass twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leadings newspapers of the
United States.
