A Remarkable Experiment.

Atlanta Consitation.
After sixty years of restircte d
suffrage, Belgium, under her new
constitution is about to try q
startling experiment.
The new law gives vote to
every male citizen who has reach
ed the age of twenty-five.
A married man who pays taxes,
or tax-paying bachelor of thirty
five, is entitled to an extra vote.
A third vote is given to a citizen
of independent means, possessing
a certificrte of high education, or
who holds or has held public
office of a certain rank.
1t is believed that every hus-
band will place his extra vote at the
disposal of his wife, thus indirectly
giving her the elective franchise.
Under tue new constitution the
number of votes in Belgium will
leap from 10000 to 100000.
A well-equipped Belgium will
now be able to cast a vote on elec-
tion day just after breakfast, and
if he feels greatly interested in the
campaign he can stick in another
vote at dinner time, and still
onther on his way home to supper.
When the voter feels muddled
over a big question he can 60 to
the polls like a man and put in
two votes-one on each side of the
burning issue. He can pair off
with himself, nulify his first in
discreet vote, and make sure of
being in the right by standing
squarely on two platforms.
The Belgium syatem would be a
God-send to some of our yellow
faced friends of silver.

A Big Orange Crop,

Augusta Chronicle.
Oranges ought to be very plenti-
fnl and reasonable in price this
year. The crop of this year is es-
timated at a million boxes larger
than last year. and there seems to
be no oend to the development of
the Florida crop. In 1885 the yield
of Florida was 100000 boxes; last
years crop was 3,450,000 boxes,
and this yeor's crop is estimated
in the Manufacturers Record at
100000.
At the present rate of progress
it will not take many years to
furnish more oranges than this
country will consume, and the
florida growers are alread looking
about for European market. Il
is not improbable that the Port
Royal line of Steamers may secure
some shipments of Florida oranges
for the other side this winter.
We do not wish the Florida
growers any bad luck and hope
they may be able to dispose Of all
their crop at profitable figures but
at the same time it is a matter OF
congratulation that the crop is SO
large as TO insure plenty of the
luscious fruit, and at prices within
the reach of all.

Poor People!

Yorkeville ENQUIRER.
The people, poor people! Oh,
what crimes are committed in the
name of the people! Just now
those few Senators who are stand
ing out against the demonetizetion
crime, represent more people than
was ever before represented by the
same number of men. The fact
that the House voted for the un-
conditional repeal is no indication
whatever of the people. 1t is we'll
known fact that one man with a
million dollars, has more influence
than a thousand men with only
a thousand dollars each. Neither
the majority in the House or the
Senate are representing the peo-
pie. They are representing few
millionaires. Dishonest? No, there
is no need to say anything about
their honesty. They probably
think q man who has made a
man who has made million dol
lars ought to know more about
finance than one who has never
made anything; therefore, they
esteem it the proper thing to re-
present the money Of the country
rather than the people.

Worst Character in the World.

Texas Advocate.
The backbiter ia the worst
character in any country:
An old tale-bearer, whisperer,
an insinuator, exercising
mods and winks as good as to
say: "I know some awful things
if were a-mind to speak out"
Such people are the devils best
friends AID are to be summed and
dreaded by every good man and
woman on earth. If there is any
thing really wrong in man or
woman, let a complaint be lodged
at once in the proper place and
before the proper authorities. Do
not go around carrying knife for
for a brother until you catch him
off his guard and then assassinate
him. The assassin is the dread of
all brave or honest men. Be frank,
fair and honest with a brother and
talk the matter owe between
yourself and him-if you have
aught Of censurc-and do not
freeze your own soul and blacken
his good name by murderous winks
and innuendoes.

Merriwether, S. G..
Items from ElmWOOd.

Mr.. EDITOR: Mr.. Jackson Park
man died a few days ago in the
ninety-third year of his age. He
was a kind and unoffensive man,
and labored honestly and indus
triously for his support through
life, and worked faithfully as long
as he was able to do manual labor.
In his declining years he had a
dutiful son, Mr.. Thomas Parkman,
who kindly supported and made
his loving father comfortable to the
end of life.
Crops in this community are
tolerably good, much better than
we thought they would be after the
storm; about three-fourths of a
corn and cotton crop will be made.
Farmers are in a push now, gath
ering their corn and cotton, so as
to SOW wheat and oats. Very few
oats having been sowed before the
storm in cotton land, and after the
storm the cotton was down so bad
that it was impossible to plow
them in.
Much success and good wishes
to the old Edgefeld ADVERTISER.

A KILLING FROST.
Cotton SeriOuly Injured in the
Mississippi Valley,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. ia
killing frost fell in this section
last night, greatly injuring crops
and vegation. The cotton crop will
be cut short Is or 20 per cent, and
in the low lands the top crop Will
be a failure. The frost seems to
have been general throughout the
Mississippi valley.
A report to the Commercial from
Vickaburg. Miss, says: Cotton
and other tender vegetation in the
low lands was nipped by frost
this morning in this portion OF
Mississippi, and heavy frosts are
reportud in Northern Louisiana,
where a much lower temperature
is recorded. Owing to the drought
and other causes, the damage will
be great.
A special f1om Canton, Miss, says:
The cold wave that struck this
section on the 18th resulted this
morning in a white frost. Sheets
of ice were also seen in shady
places. Considerably damage will
result to late cotton, as great deal
is still umatured.
A dispatch from Greenville, Miss,
says: The first frost of the season
fell here THE morning, killing all
tender vegetation and doing con-
siderable damage to cotton.

Matters in Meriwether.

dltu Olutiiy III luCSC pullS, oo IL 'NSL
SO that it was becoming monoto
nous, and one could almost wish
something would turn up just fol
a change.
A fatal accident occurred neal
here this morning (Oct. 12th). A
negro man, Nose Wooden, hac
taken his gun to clean and oil it
and as he was unbreeching it, the
gun fired, killing instantly hit
wife, who was setting near by. The
jury of inquest was called, ano
gave verdict of accidental
shooting" They were industrious
and well-to-do negroes, and well
thought of by all classes.
There are great many negroes
in this section Of the county, but
there is only now and then a case
of petty theft, no occasion fol
lynch law. Your correspondent
thinks that this lynching business
is grossly abused in varions Sec
tions of the country. Thoughtful
people begin to fear serious conse-
quences will come of it ultimately,
and those who are now aiding and
abetting it will live to regret it.
By the way, 'tis quits puzzle to
understand how, in given COM
munity where nearly the whole
population take part in lynch
court, that a coroner's jury can re-
port slpon oath, "Came to his death
by unAmo0m parties"
Corn and cotton crops are very
short in this township-not more
than half crop. The cotton is
nearly all out of the fields, and
what is worse, nearly out of the
hands of the farmers, at ruinous
price. The farmers will have to
buy meat and bread another year.
IT'S unfortunate, not to say foolish,
for a farmer to depend upon one
one product for everything, espe-
cially when the terms and the time
of selling that crop are dictated by
the buyer.
After all, if the farmer is ever
to be independent he will have t
work out his own salvation, fnan-
cially. How? By diversifying.
Let him first raise his own meat
and bread, then some cotton, some
tobacco and fruit, Where there is
a good market accessible, as it is
here. an acre in winter cabbage,
patch of celery, etc., will coin him
more silver dollars than a dozen
members of Congress who are
simply wishing to "butter their
own bread"
This brings me to ask what has
become of our boasted majority in
Congress? Has the National Bank
Syndicate been advising them too
as well as the President? Well,
the people are doing more inde-
pendent and better thinking than.
they used to do; and a day of
reckoning is coming.
I Tread to-day portions of Senator
Buffers speech on the silver ques-
tiop. It reminds me of the days
Of long ago, when McDuffie and
Hayne and other giants were in
He spoke earnestly,
eloquently, and the presidents
gavel could not restrain the ap-
plause from crowded gallery.
There are some who have not yet
bowed the knee to Mammon.

THE Trustees announce to the pubs
l lie that this school will open on
Monday, Sept. 4, 1898,
and continne ten months, forty weeks,
with recess of one week at Christ
mas. There will be three departments,
each carefully graded:
The Primary, embracing 2 years.
The intermediate. embracing 4 years.
The Academic, embracing years.
Provision is also made for Music and
Art Departments, under competent
teachers. Arrangements for studies
higher than the Academic Will be made
hereafter, if it be deemed best to do so.
The rates of tuition will be as follows:
In the Primary Department, first
and second years, per month. s LOO
In the intermediate Department.,
1st and End years, per month. 200
In the intermediate Department
3rd and 4th years, per month. 300

In the Music Department, per -
m0nCh. 4.VV
In the Art Department, per
month. 5.OV
From these charges will be deduct
ed the pro rata amount allowed for
each pupil from the public school fund.
The trustees have committed this
school to the management of
DR.. L. R. GWALTNEY.
He will be aided in each department
by competent teachers. 1t will be seen
that the basis of financial support
which has been in operation for sew
eral years has been abandoned, the
trustees having fully decided that it
is better to have fixed rates of tuition
for all pupils. If the citizens of Edge
field will heartily stand by "The In
stitute," they will have good school
in which they may take commenda-
BILE pride. The Principal is we'll known.
He r. turns to Edgefield to become the
pastor of the Baptist Church, and to
give his matured experience to the
work of educating our boys and girls.
Good board can be had for $S to $40
per month.
