"Until He'll Freezes Over"

DENVER. Dec. 21.-A meeting
of business men of the State to-
day adopted a resolution dlsap-
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 be 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
tameIy 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 not only all summer but
until hell freezes over"
The Governor shouted this ex-
preston at the top of his voice
and then left the hall. Some of the
business men laughed and some
applauded.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never 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
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual ac-
cesslons 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, WI 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 discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable 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
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee. then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

Right Way to View 1t.

Palmetto Post, Conservative.
Since our last issue it has
pleased the General Assembly, the
sovereign power, in it's election Of
an Associate Justice and three
Judges to replace some of the old
officials with new men. That the
old Judges were conscientious
men learned in the law goes with
out saying, and in their retirement
from public office they take with
them the respect of the people.
They have served their times
faithfully and as the lights
appeared to them. They have not
been removed to make place for
other men, but they have not been
re-elected-thatis is all, and it is
no discredit to them. They were
not at first elected for life, but for
q 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 VIII olesale
denunciation of such action on
the part of the Legislature that is
being INDUCED in by some of the
newspapers, neither do we take
part in ihe attemptto belittle the
new mel 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 lnculcate the idea that
because mantnever was q judge
he should never be a judge Is old
and effete, and smscks too much
of royal oligarchy to influence the
action of the free-born men of
Carolina, and should not be con-
tenanced by anybody.

BLADON KILLS A NEGRO.
And is Himself Shot, it is sup
posed..Fatally, in the Melee.

The following account of the
killing of negro by Jack Bladon,
formerly of Edgefeld, 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 mortal wound.
Henry Palmer is 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
occurred.

memberment. We, too, MI. Speaker
regret the necessity for this change
Who is it that does not honor and
revere his native county? AS for
me, Mr.. Speaker, whenever l think
of changing my citizenship, wheE-
ever l think of leaving old Edge
field the same feelings come over
me that I had when I left my
parental roof. She has been the
home of my ancestors for genera
tions. She is the land that gave
me birth, my mother. / know
three-fourths of her people, and
have shared of their means and
their hospitality. I am at home
wherever I 60 within her borders.
And, Mr.. Speaker, she has honored
me whenever have desired to be
honored. Six years I have repre-
sented her in this house, and l be-
lieve I could have represented her
six years more if I had so desired.
I am the president of her Alliance
and the chairman of her democL
racy. For eight or ten years I have
been given another position which
I regard of far more honor than
either Of these. Yes I love old
Edgefeld, and am proud of her
glorious past, and of the men who
have made her history. But, Mr..
Speaker, there are times when we
should not allow sentiment to
overshadow plain duty, nor pre-
vent US from doing that which we
believe to be right. I support this
bill because I believe it to be right;
because I believe it to be a matter
of justice to this people. I have
been told, Mr.. Speaker, that it
would have been better for me not
to have advocated this measure.
But, sir, how could I turn a deaf
ear to the prayers of eight hundred
or one thousand of my constitu-
ents? II, when they come to me
and asked me if I would not
espouse their cause and represent
them upon the floor of this house,
knowing they would be debarred
from appearing in person and
speaking for themselves, I had
with tremulous voice, said "nay,
sirs, please excuse me. I know
your cause is just one and l
know your privations and incon-
veniences. If you should win it
would be all right, but if you
should fail I would be politically
damned" If I had said this, Mr..
Speaker, I ought to be politically
damned, driven to some vast will
derness, some boundless contiguity
of shade"

B. R. Tillman, Governor.
Ordination of John Lake.

Ordination of John Lake.
Last Sunday morning 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 young dis
ciple that a large congregation was
in attendance and with sympa-
thetic hearts gave wrapt attention
to the interesting services.
The sermon on the occasion was
preached by Rev. J. H. Boldridge,
of Batesburg, from Luke 18th
chapter, Goth 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
or 10 there! for behold, the king
dom of God is within you."
Mr.. Boldridge's effort was 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 it's varied denomi-
nations and it's frequent failures
and mistakes. In clear and forci-
BILE language the speaker portrayed
the beauties of this spiritual king
dom to which all who love Christ
belong, and thu obligation resting
upon all to labor and pray for its
extension until the glorious day
when the saved OF all the ages
Jew and Gentle, Scythian, Greek,
bond and free-shall crown jesus
Lord of all.
Mr.. Meallng made beautiful
prayer, during which the hands of
the three ministers were laid upon
the candidate and John Lake Or
dalned to preach the gospel.
DR.. Gwaltney, the beloved pastor,
then delivered the charge. In
touching words he referred to the
| conservation of the young minister
az sequence of the piety of father,
and grandfather, and other kins-
men for many generations BACK;
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 vel
coined him to the great brother
b ood of ministers who preach
Christ and Him crucified to dying
men.
With a voice which trembled
with deep emotion the newly Or
dained minister pronounced the
benediction, and the solemn SER
vice came to close.
