How to Get Rich.

Is the all-absorbing question OF
this time. The only way to be
truly rich is to be content with
what we have, while we strive
patiently to and honestly to our
accumulated store. How to accu-
mulate money with certainty is
best told by Senator Leland
Stanford, who says:
"There is one class of men who
die rich. They are those who
always save something out of what
they earn. There is a laborer in
my employ who has followed
these principles for thirty three
years on $40a manth and board. He
had $1,000 to commence with. He
is still at work and woth over $780,
600. Most men who have the ability
to save die rich. Not many die
rich who make great sums of money
fast.
"Mr. Cook, financial agent o:
our government, once told me tina
he largest check he ever saw wa
one drawn by Daniel Drew TO
81, 100000 in payment for govern
ment bonds. Isaw a red auction
flag over Daniel Drew's door,"

their error and adopt a new plan
at once, by planting less of the
heecy staple and more of the home
products. Many farmers are SELL
ing their cotton seed at a. reduced
price, and next spring will buy
them back at an exorbitant price.
No farmer will prosper who robs
his land of the seed that should be
put back on it.

Notes from Newberry.

Mr.. EDITOR: Since our last CON-
munication we have organized a
military company within Newberry
College. The company consists of
about forty of the students, who
meet and drill every evening, ex-
cept Friday and Sunday, from 5
until 6 o'clock p. m. I must say
the boys drill well for their prac-
rice.
Most of the boys went TO the
marriage over in town tonight.
1t took place in the Presbyterian
Church.
Mr.. R. A. NJ, formerly a
clerk in your town, is getting to be
the favorite among the ladies. he
just takes the rag off the bush.
You may tell his best girl, if she
lives in that section, to keep her
head level and I will try to keep
him right.
Last Saturday night the boys
wanted a little innocent fun, so
they hunted up a couple of new
boys, not "rats," and took them
into room across the hall from
mine and made them speak. The
R. A. M, of course, went to see
the fun and hear the speeches.
About the time the speaking closed,
DR.. Holland came up to get his
part of the fun. Of course I went
to see what would be the result
and you may guess I saw. Some
hidden behind the door, some be-
hind others, and others still ran
behind the bed. Doctor said: "Boys
come out, for I mean to see who
you are!" Then the boys began TO
slip out at the door aud down the
stairs like sheep jumping q fence.
Thus tho fun came to an abrupt
close.
The old Excelsior Society is on
a boom. Our number is fast in.
creasing, much faster than the
other society.

Governor Tillman has been
charged with being responsible for
the low price of cotton, but who is
responsible for the high price of
provisions?
No one believes that Gov. Till.
man is responsible for it, except
those who are prejudiced. The
one gallus boys don't think SO, and
I am proud to say since his re-
election we are able to wear two,
for we have commenced manufac-
turing our cotton into galluses and
if he stays there much longer we
shall be able to do mere than that.

Xantlppe'S Br1gnC Fancy anu
Profound Philosophy. Also
Something About Soap,
the Great Civilizer.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR: We believe
it was Thomas A. Kempis who
said: "God proposes, but man
disposes." We proposed to write
to you for sometime, but have
failed in our resolution till this
moment. This may prove as
stupid as our last.
Du,ing the interval that has
elapsed since our last writing, the
world has moved along with its
stirring events, and each day and
hour has its record.
On October the 22nd, all
America celebrated the discovery
of it's vast continent by Columbus
the grand, who in the centuries
gone by beached those three frail
barques on the island of San Sal
vador, and:on that tropical autumn
day took possession in the name
of Ferdinand and Isabella.
No crown of laurels wreathed
his brow. During life, trials and
misfortunes followed his footsteps,
dying in chains and in poverty!
Even the right Of discovery was
stolen from him and the country
named for an impostor. Now his
bones have crumbled to dust, all
the world, from monarch to serf,
bends the knee to do him homage.
Alas |! if the flowers that deck
our graves, tears and loving words,
could come while heart and pulse
live and throb, while we need all
encouragement, pilgrims as we
climb the rugged heights with
cowl and staff and sandled feet!
Don't keep back the sympathy to
waste on our crumbling bones.
Mr.. Booth tells us in his sermon
that we must strive to live for
some fixed purpose, that our lives
are dwarfed and miserable if they
are not useful and helpful in
cheering the sorrowful and poor,
the heather in darkest Africa
and in distant China; 30 if we
would attain the crown, we must
battle for it.
All Edgefeld is cordially in
vited to attend the dedicatory
services in the handsome new
Methodist church next Sabbath
morning.
The new hotel, "The Edgefeld,'!
is being finished like magic. Tits
veritable Aladdin's palace, and
we hope it may be crowded with
guests when completed.
Among the industries let uE
mention the physicians and sur.
geons soap for which the-handsome
and energetic Mra. M. A.. Holson
is agent. 1t heals chapped hands
and faces, cures uusightly pimplef
and blotches and makes your skin
pure as rose leaf. 1t is vege'
table compound and purely health
full. Try it, do!

vest moon hangs low in the

frosts of November ARE changing
the varied and beautiful foliage of

Mr.. Plowden,of Edgefield,preached
at Bethel church on Sunday. The
people were pleased; he took a good
text and his original ideas were ex-
pressed in forcible and terse
language. Why is it, Mr.. Editor,
that, nowadays, people have so
little originality about them, no
ideas of their own to express in
their own language? Is it because
the world, or society, is getting
too utterly utter aesthetic to deal
in the hard, common sense of some
of our forefathers?

Mad dog at Clarks Hill.

Mad dog at Clarks Hill.
We clip the following from the
Columbia Register of 4th inst:
Mad dogs held high carnival at
this place to-day. A find pointer
belonging to Mr.. Rufus Harling
was bitten several weeks ago by a
dog thought to have been affected
with hydrophobia.
To-day, while the dog was in
Harling's store, without any
warming he sprung at Mr.. Robert
SCOTS throat but missed his
mark. He followed this up with
another lunge and GRABBED the un-
fortunate mans hand, laceratine
it terribly. Mr.. Hdrling, in hii
effort to pull the brute off Mr.
Scott, was himself bitten on elthe,
hand badly.
After this the dog ran out of the
store aud a few hundred yards
down the street he met Henry
Meriwether. He Immediately
gathered the new victim by the
leg, just below the knee, and tore
out a piece of flesh perhaps two in.
ches long and an inch wide.
From there the dog paid hit
respects to the residence of Con,
gresham Tillmsn, but the family
learning of the excitement hastily
closed all the doors to the house
and averted probable misfor'
tune. After biting several fo1
hounds at the Tillman residence
the mad creature disappeared
through a patch of woods and hat
not been seen since. Several par
| ties shot atthe dog, but none sue
ceeded in killing it."

Rain at Last.
After an unprecedentedly dry

Monday the 7th inst, we had a

abundant downpour. The drouth
had COTTON to be SO serious in the
north that prayers had been of
fered in the churches for rain.
Some good Advice.
Ex County Commissioner Till
man Harling, of the Shatterfeld
sectionby the way one of the best
county commissioners Edgefeld
ever had was in town one day last
week, and frightened the office o.
the ADVERTISER with a visit. Mr..
Harling is sixty-nine years old,
although he doesn't look 1t, and
says he worked harder this year
than he has in fifteen years. He
says he has discovered the secret
of success in farming. 1t is, to
mak5 provisions enough to do you
and then make all the cotton you
can. He says he didn't find out
this secret until comparatively late
in life, but he gives it now for the
benefit of the rising generation
who may be willing to learn from
the experience of others.
