200 New Companies.

COLUMBIA, April Especial: In
speaking of the matter of con-
stables to-day, Governor Tillman
said that in his mail up to date he
had received since the end of the
war over twenty-five applications
for appointments as State con-
stables, the Governor stated furth
that tomorrow morning he would
begin to distribute the force of
constables now mobilized in this
city among the several towns of
the State. They will have instruc-
tions which will be in accordance
with the recentlp published state
ment of the Governor. The Cover
nor does not think that oonGtables
will have any more trouble.
In speaking of the new military
companies which are being orgahiz-
ed all over the State the Governor
to-day made this statement: II
suppose that there have been two
hundred or mQra new military
companies organized in the State
this past week, and [ have ap-
plications from nearly all of them
for enrolment in the State militia,
Some of these companies have
over one hundred men upon their
rolls" In the course of his re.
marks during the morning the
Governor said: II do hope and
pray that this uprising willtend
to allay this bitterness and hard
feeling which has 80 long been
stirring up the State.

Trouble in the Parksville Neigh
bOrhOod.

Mr.. EDITOR: No doubt but that
some may think little strange
that such is the case, especially
when the names connected with it
are two of Parksville's most quiet
citizens, viz, H. w. Dobey and E.
G. Morgan, known as Deacon Nor
gan in this statement, if you can
term it statement. The writer is
a poor scribe and not known in
print. Sunday, you know, was the
1st day of April and few if any
tricks were played on that day.
But Monday morning if you had
seen and heard what actually took
place and continued all day, you
would not have felt like cutting
briars and bushes any more than l
do, for I laughed until my side
now, even while ! write, has a kind
of laughing movement. Well, as
I said, there is trouble in Parks
Vile. will not take it back, but
say that Dobey and Morgan had
lots of company. The Harmons,
Blackwells, Parks, Stones, Busseys,
oh! we'll, I believe with very few
exceptions the whole community
was more or less connected with it..
At 2 o'clock Monday morning
the deacon" awaked and called
out "Get up wife, children, and
everybody, for it's certainly day."
but the olook knew better and
struck only two, and the "Deacon"
concluded to sleep awhile longer,
but every time the clook struck
from 9 O'Clock until 5 be would
call out sect up, tits day." but day
came at last, Six, seven O'Clock,
and from every direction grown
folks and children, some running,
but every one making straight for
the "Deacon's" house.
Among the first to arrive were

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never 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
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 a quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due. The PRESS CLAIMS
COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General
Manager, 61S F street, N. w., Wash
ington, D. c.. representing large
number of important daily and weekly
papers, as well as general periodicals
of the country, was instituted to pro-
tect it's patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore employed 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 proseoutes ap-
plications generally, including
mechanical inventions, design patents
trademarks, labels, copyrights, inter-
ferences, infringements, validity re-
ports. and gives especial attention to
rejected cases. 1t is also prepared to
enter into competition with any firm
in securing foreign patents.

sXantippe" Wreathes a Garland
of Immortelles for Edgefeld's
Military and Gives Well
Done to Governor Till
man.


Mr.. EDITOR: DR.. Gwaltney be-
ing absent to fill an appointment
at Ridge Spring Oh last Sabbath,
after our interesting Sunday
school services, we all walked over
to the Methodist church to hear
Mr.. Brabham and listen to the
sweet music. The house was lit
orally jam with representatives
from all the denominations. The
sun threw mellow shafts of light
through the pink, violet, and gol-
den window panes, the rich, dreamy
music uplifted one and occasion
ally the eye would wander off to
the new spring toilettes and the
flower garden hats and bonnets,
from which peeped out the sweet
est daisy and rosebud faces.
Several weeks ago winter told US
goodbye, and vegetation came out
rapidly. The oaks hung out tas-
sells, the yellow jessamine was a
bank of bloom, but the cold wave
crept up, and scorched and black
ened and iced out all in one night,
and people with blue noses and
chattering teeth returned to heavy
clothes again.
During this rigorous spell the
circus came along, with parapher-
MALTA of camels, elephants, shetland
ponies, lovely milk-white horses,
ballet girls, and grotesque clowns,
sweeping off what money was left
in the country. Hundreds of ne
groes and hundreds of whites were
there and left with their pockets
drained, sadder but no wiser.
Edgefield is either in dead
calm or in a fever of excitement.
Now uprises this Darlington
riot. Red-hot kilograms flash over
the wires, troops are ordered out,
and the Edgefeld boys as they al
ways do responded promptly, went
to Columbia and Darlington and
obeyed the orders of the comman-
der-in-chief to the end and to the
letter. 1t is right and just that
tho laws of the State be enforced,
and refusing to obey orders, and
this clashing of bayonets at the
feet of justice was mere bravado
and outlawry, and the Cover
nor did quite right in disbanding
those troops.
The Edgefeld boys did their
duty, received their need of praise
and dined at the executive man-
sion, reached home safely and re.
ceived a loud cheering as they
pulled into the depot a few even
ings since. The dispensaIy law is
the mildest form of great evil,
and if blood has been shed it is
unfortunate. A great deal of good
has come to the State through Gov
ernor Tillman during his public
career and he seems to be fitted to
rule in these peculiar times. A
battery of eyes is leveled at him
just now. May he steer his way
safely over these dangerous shoals
aud quicksands.
Little fre-eater Coma aes has
material just at present to keep
him busy long time. The News
and Courier is reaping thick har-
vest to say nothing of lesser lights.
For the last two days we have
sunk into a dead calm, and will
remain there till another excite
ment comes on the boards.

While in Columbia last week,

negroes and Haskellites.
Come get match and light lamp,
And show me the way to the Tiliman
camp,
Well have beef steak and spare rib

And nice boiled onions dipped in dew.
CHORUS.
In the morning, morning by the bright
light
You'll hear Tillman blow his trumpet
in the morning.
And after he got through, the
little niggers and the Haskellites
ran home and told their mammies
and their daddies "that a soldier
from Edgefeld had busted the
drums of their yurs."

Mrs. Emma Burnett, wife of Mr..

Gutheridge ana Mrs. Caroline
Uheatham, died at her residence
near Edgefeld on Sunday morning
last. On Monday, after funeral
services at Gilgal conducted by Or.
Gwa!tney, she was laid to rest near
the home of her girlhood, among
departed kindred and friends.
Mrs. Burnett possessed many noble
and charming qualities of heart
and mind that greatly endesred
her to all who knew her: In the
prime of young womanhood the
bright star has palPd long ere 1t
reached the zenith only to shine
with greater lustre in the frma-
ment of heaven. Early in life she
gave her heart to God and united
with the church and to her, death
was but glorious transition from
mortality to Immortality. To her
bereaved husband and relatives we
tender our sincere sympathies.
