Edgefield Advertiser 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, I Methodist Service. 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 well Jones of our town. She goe to Sunday-school, and for som time has been hearing about an learning about the Apostle Paul and his journeyings tc Corinth, ani Ephesus, and Philippi, and Athens But this little maid has taken ui the idea that our 3'oung friem Paul Gibson is the very Paul wh made all those journeys, and tba he made'them on his bicycle! ? Taken Holt." 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 feet ion, "as fresh attacks contract 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." Personal Mention. Mr. Will Lanham, who is now clerking for J. B. White ct Co., was at home for Christmas. Mr. Charley Dobson, of the same establishment was also at home duriug the merry season. Miss Sophie Abney spent the Christmas holidays at home from her school at the Ridge. Mrs. Dr. Scott Sheppard and family have removed to Edgefield where they have many friends and relatives. Messrs. John and Jimmie Boy kin, of Aiken, spent the holidays with their grandmother, Mrs. Caro line Abney. Mrs. Andrews and her son, Mr. Elbert Andrews, of Kirkseys, spent Sunday with Mrs. Ida Sheppard, recently become a resident of Edge field. Master John and Miss Jennie (Lady) Addison, who have been attending school in Greenville, spent last week with their mother, Mrs. J. L. Addison. Mission Society.

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. JOS, H. OANTELOU, ATTORNEY AT LAW, ETJO-^^IEZJT^, S. C. Will practice in all the Courts of the State. W. N.

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. Write for instructions and advice. JonK WEDDERBURN, 61S F Street, P. 0. Box 3S5. Washington, D.
