Two Sermons. I il.
On our first page we print a
sermon or diatribe. by Rev. D.
Oglesby, entitled 'Mammon. On
our fourth page we give another
sermon by Rev. Wash ,0lipaant, a
colored preacher of our own town,
as reported to the ADVERTISER by
a special correspondent. Of-course
the first named gentleman is more
scholarly, but Wash, to our mind,
has more of the old time religion
in his utterances, and he is more
over an earnest, though humble,
worker in the vineyard.
A Proposition Wanted.
Mr.. J. L. Reynolds, of Trenton,
writerus the following note, which
he asks to- have inserted in the
ADVERTISER:
81 am ready to open a railroad
and business telegraph school at
Edgefeld should the outlook prove
favorable. This school would
mean money to hotels, merchants,
and banks, and would help to
push Edgefeld on to success: ]
am negotiating with several
other places for the school and
will accept the most favorable pro-
position, Johnston is, in. it. AH
students interested should write
at once as time is money. Good
references furnished if desired.
Yours, truly,

Johnston Items.

Mr.. EDITOR: L must enter with
an apology to Xanthippe for ad-
dressing her in the masculine gen.
der. The dishwater escapade, in
which poor Socrates was an un-
willing actor, made an indelible
impression on my mind as a novel
method of woman's revenge.
Rev. w. T. Hundley, who has
been with the Johnston people for
twelve years, on Sunday last sent
in his resignation. We part with
him with regret, as his has been a
faithful service to a truly loyal
people. We yield in compliance
to his wish for a change.

To Tax Payers.
The law as it now stands
compels the County Treasurer
to collect the taxes by school
districts so that he may be able to
credit to each school dirtrict its
proper amount of the poll tax.
Such being the case, tax payers
must inform themselves Of the
number of their school district and
this information they may get
from the trustees of their respective
school districts. The school
trustees of a anumber of school dis
tricts in Edgefeld county have,
up to this writing, failed to
make a return to Auditor
Davis of the names of those in
their districts who are liable to
poll tax. Unless this matter is
attended to at an early date these
districts will lose the benefit OF
this recent law. School patrons
should see to it that the trustees
of their school districts should
make these returns OF once.

outrageous rates of interest. With
rates of 300per cent under the lien
system and 50per cent charged by
bankers and merchants, the farmer
was taxed to deash, certainly to the
point where forbearance ceased to
be a virtue, and where revolt was
the remedy, both in law and equity.
The farmers were growing poorer
every day, and it was while the
condition was about at it's worst
that Mr. Tillman, who had been
through it all as a practical farmer,
appeared above the horizon. He
was a farmer who had become
bankrupt Though the extortious of
the system I have but briefly
described. He found the people ripe
for and revolution that would
relieve them of their grievous
burdens. Tillman became a politi-
cal factor in 1885, and one year
afteward the farmers and their
friends organized themselves to
correct the evils from which they
suffered. In this movement for self
protection the city merchant and
the town merchant were naturally
unpopular, a feeling which still
exists regardless of the social
standing of the merchant, be he
from city or county, town OF

"There we're some 10000 people in
Madison-square garden, where the noti-
dcation proceedings were held. When
Cleveland appeared upon the stage it
seemed as though every voice in that
vast concourse was exerted to its utmost
in giving him welcome. He made q
most impressive speech.
"The general result of my observa-
tions and Investigations is that while
Cleveland will not lose any of those who
supported him four years ago, his access
sions will be so numerous as to leave no
doubt as to his election. Not only will
he carry those states which are COM

success in Wisconsin and Illinois, and a
majority of the Michigan districts is
deemed practically assured by the best
advised politicians of these states.

"The result of the lockouts and strike

the intelligent workingmen of the coun-

beyond cavil that the talk about tariff
tax protecting the wages of the laborer
is all bosh.''

and promotion of literary, social and
educational interests.
The officers named are: Mrs. @. M.

man, first vice-president; Mies E. B.
Fremont, second vice-president Mrs.
Josefa Tolhurst. recording secretary /;
Mrs. E. Stanton, corresponding secre-
tary Mrs. W. L. Graves, treasurer. The
above, with the following ladies', consti-
tute the board of directors: Mrs. A. s..
Wing, Mrs. E. Hubbard, Mrs. A. H.

The Los Angeles Brown Stone COM

VERY FEW OF THEM LEFT
FORECLOSURES AND EXECUTIONS
NOT NUMEROUS AT PRESENT.
Some Instructive Statistics from the
Sheriff's Ofice-Comparative Fig
ures Showing Marked In
crease of Prosperity.

The records of the civil department of
the sheriff's Office furnish some statis-
tics that are certainly gratifying to
every citizen of Los Angeles county
who is interested in all that touches on
the enlargement of the prosperity of
this community. In fact, every official
source of information having any bear
ing on the commercial, real estate and
general business interests of the county
indicate that Los Angeles is getting
ready for another immense stride in the
direction of the commercial supremacy
of the Pacific coast.
There has been steady enhancement
in the values of real estate in the de-
sirable sections of the city, and one OF
the solid features about this apprecia-
ton in prices has been that it was not
.predioated on any feverish movement,
but on conservative and justifiable ad-
vance, due to steady, growing demand
from men of foresight, backed with
capital.
The story told by the statistical rec
ords of Sheriff Gibson's Office is an in
teresting and decidedly cheerful one.
They indicate most infallibly that such
investments of an injudicious and over
speculative character, made during the
maximum days of the boom. and which
subsequently turned out disastrously,
have been nearly, if not all, settled up,
leaving clean books with which to start
on new era of prosperity. The preface
to the story OF the era of impending
prosperity is most forcibly told
in the comparison instituted by the
comparatively tables showing the total
amount of sheriff's sales made under
foreclosures and executions for the three
months of May, June and July in 1892
and the preceding year.
The table for the above months in
1891 is as follows:

County Politics,

County politics have already been SET
agog and it beats everything to note how
early the candidates are commencing tic
feather their nests. Many men, thus far
untried, are listening to the music OF
some gentle bee and the conventions are
holding forth promise of unusual inter
est. For instance there are sections of
the county WhereAuditor Krook is beino
opposed without much reason, and, not
Withstanding he has made an auditor of
whom Brown county might be proud,
there are those who have imaginary
grievances and who, out of their own
mind, are Matching reasons for a new
man that are paltry to say the least.
Burg and Grlmmer are both candidates
for reelection, and, While no one has
manifested desire to enter the field
against Burg, the office of the register
will not go a-begging. A. F. Walton
and L. G. Nogel are being mentioned fol
this position in Republican circles and
among the Democrats frequent mention
is heard of Fred Pfander and Schramm
For the office of probate Judge, Ernst
Brandt still seems to have clear field
but among the opposition there is divis-
llon. Some say Bertrand and Others
whisper Steinhauser. Coming down to
the position of sheriff, there is a belief
now that Anderson will be his own sue
cessor. Q Nevertheless there are men in
his own party who would like to hold
downsthe job and Albert Kiesling and
4. II. Helling are often spoken of inthis
connection. The Democrats seem to lean
towards Schmid. Whom the Republicans
will nominate for attorney is still a ques-
ton. Perhaps Somerville, perhaps Eek
stein Thompson is hardly considered
anxious to make the fight again. The
Democrats, no doubt, will again stake
their chances with Robertson. Over the
other offices there is not much discussion
and the present incumbents will in all
probability be allowed to hold over.
Humphrey, however, says he doesn't
want to be coroner. This will mean the
nomination on the Democratic ticket of
