why Shouldn't You Become Fa-
nous?

The average American reads of
the inventions and achievements
OF Franklin, Fulton, Morse, Edi-
son, and Westinghouse, with a
thrill of patriotic feeling. And
yet it is the simple, trivial inven-
tions, after all, out of which the
greatest fortunes may be made in
modern times, and which, perhaps,
may accomplish The greatest good
to the greatest number. If you
want to test the value of your ideas
as an inventor, write to the Press
Claims Company, Philip W. Avir-
ett, Managing Attorney, Lock
Drawer 5SS, Washington, D. G., and
mention this paper. They will
send you clever little booklet on
patents and patent law, and ii you
apply for an invention through the
medium of this agency, you may
receive their monthly award of
merit of one hundred dollars, which
goes to the Inventor who applies
for a patent on The most meritori-
GUS invention through the medium
of this great combination of two
thousand or more American News
papers. The Press Claims Com
pany also prosecutes pension cas-
es, land and other claims against
the General Government, and its
fees are as moderate as is consist
ent with intelligent service.

Mr.. EDITOR: Saturday Jnne
1st was day that will be long re-
memb bered by the children of An

annual picnic of the Antioch Sun-
day school. Notwithstanding the
intense heat and backwardness of
our farmers, the fair and lovely
daughters tanned youths and
bright and interesting children
mingled together for one days
pleasure.
Mr.. Joe Cantelou, prominent
young lawyer of the Edgefsld bar,
was the orator of the day. No
better selection could have been
made. Mr.. Cantelou completely
captivated the people, and we hear
nothing but praise for this conse-
Grated young man. We hope to
lay before your readers bis address
in the hear future.
The programme consisted OF
songs and retitations. The first
recitation was by Miss Carrie Big
ham, the bright and intelligent
daughter of Mr.. Mat. Bigham. She
was followed by Misses Alma
Hammond, Matte Minis, Sophia

Minis, and Masters Lovick and

The recitations were simple and
appropriate. The children had
been we'll trained and acquitted
themselves with honor. Especial
ly do VIC wish to mention the reci-
tation of little Sophie Minis. In
deed the lovely child recited in
most charming manner. The sing
ing was th= best we ever had at
Antioch for years. Mr.. Geo. Minis
rendered valuable assistance,
and his performance onlthe clario-
net added much t. the occasion.
The Superintendent of the school
is indebted to Mrs. Mat. Bigham,
Mrs. Andrew Gardner, Mrs. Alb
ney Minis, and a host of other no.
BILE women for the assistance rem
dered him. Also is he under obli-
cations to Messrs. Ben Glanton,
Jr., Ed. Bigham, John Gardner,

and VIM. Wood. May the seed
sown at old Antioch bring forth an
abundant harvest for the Master.

An Appeal for Help.

To the Confederate veterans of
Edgefieid County and others in
sympathy:
Mrs. Cindy Horn, now old and
feeble and very poor, was with Co..
az" ii S. G. Regt. through the
four years of the late war. She
cared for the sick and wounded, and
washed and mended the clothes of
our soldiers. This poor woman in
her old age needs help.
Let every old veteran and those
in sympathy send TO Mr.. W. N. Bur-
nett, Treasurer of Abner Perrin
Camp, whatever they feel disposed
to give Mrs. Horn, and it will be
given to her. If you cannot spare
more than nickel or a dime, send
that. Don't put it off-for it will
soon be too late.

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS
Strongly Pro-Cleveland and Anti-Sil-
 yer in Tone.

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 2.-The Massachusetts Democratic state con- vention met today.
 Hon. Josiah Quincy was elected per- manent chairman.
 The platform comments the present National administration for it's con- duct of foreign affairs, congratulates the manufacturing interests of the country on the successful operation of the new tariff, regretting that the bill as originally framed by Democratic leaders is not in force, and denounces the efforts of the Republican party to reopen this question; demands a maintenance of the gold standard and opposes free coinage of silver and the further purchase of silver bullion, and demands that the government shall retire it's paper money.

NO PUGIL[SM IN TEXAS. A Prohibitory Law Is

AUSTIN. Tex, Oct. 2.-The Cor bett-Fitzsimmons mill, if it takes place at all, will not be on the boards within the sovereign state of Texas. The 'scrappers' who had heavy delega- tion here from Dallas, up to last night averred entire confidence in their abil- ity to beat the passage of the prohibi- tory bill that had been prepared by Governor Culberson. Their conf dence was i'll based, however.
 The bill making prize-fighting fel ony passed both houses this afternoon with but four dissenting votes in the house.
 The governor will sign it tomorrow and then the law goes into immediate effect by its own terms.

THE GOVERNMENT PoWERLEss
Possibility That the Scenes of AleXan
 dria Will Be Repeated.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 2.-An- archy is imminent in Constantinople. Armenians and Turks alike are wild with excitement, and dervishes are bowling throughout the streets a holy war of extermination against the Christians. Conflicts between the two factions are of hourly occurrence and though the full power of the Turk ish police and garrison is being eXerted it is not for the protection of the Ar menians.
 The government will not be able to hold in the rabble if the present dis turbance continues for twelve hours more, and scenes like those at Alex andria are expected.
 It is understood as probable that war ships of the great powers will be ordered from the Mediterranean to land troops for the defense of the re- spective consulates, the treaty of '75 being temporarily infringed upon for the purposes of humanity.

DEATH IN A WELL.
The Dreadful Accident That Befell
 Three Brothers.

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Oct. "A ter rible accident occurred at West River side late Tuesday evening, by which one man lost his life and another came near sharing similar fate, while third has lost his reason because of grief.
 Three brothers named Higgins were engaged in digging a we'll and a blast failed to explode. One of them was lowered into the well to investigate. Overcome by the foul gas of the dyna- mite, the unfortunate man signalled those above to hoist him up, but he lost his hold and fell.
 One of the other brothers started down after the injured man. He, too, was overpowered by the gas, although he managed to get the dead body on the bucket, as well as himself
 Hugh Higgins, who remained on top, was suddenly rendered insane which condition still remains, when he saw the condition of his brothers.

London Truth Advises the In stitutlon of Western Or
 der of Nobility.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Truth says today: Commenting upon the engagement between the Duke of Marlborough and Miss Consuelo Van derbilt, British mamas and their daughters will soon be clamoring for protection if all the prizes in the mar riage market are to fall to American damsels. The mania for title, inner ent in the Anglo Saxon, is vain to con- tend against, but the matter is some what serious to the United States. That country must be a great loser through the accumulation of it's wealth crossing the ocean and the United States will do well to manufacture a coveted title at home for it is a wooden nutmeg that is easily bought. The existence of titles, it is true, is not in accordance with the simplicity of republican institutions, but in view of the heavy drain, this might be over looked and the parents of any girl might be allowed to buy her a title with, say 9200,000. The public treas ury would thus be filled with dollars and the girl would remain at home. There would be still the difficulty of finding husbands in the home market, for Americans are as strongly opposed to becoming rich through their ladies as British noblemen are in favor of this mode of enrichment"

THE CIRCUS IS HERE.
Advent of the Wallace Show in the
 Capital City.

The Wallace circus holds forth to- day in Phoenix, the tents to be pitched on "the old camp ground in the east ern part of the city. Yesterday an af- ternoon stand was made at Yuma, and today afternoon and evening perform ances will be given in Phoenix. The Maricopa & Phoenix railroad will re- ceive the twenty-six cars of the show at Maricopa at o'clock this morning and the big tents will begin to arise before 7.
 The country folks will be in, for the highways have been billed from Mesa to Peoria, and jam is to be expected at both performances. High praise precedes this particular circus. Though the same polysyllables adorn the dead wall representations of arenic glories, the show is reported to be in many ways the best that has for years made the western circuit. Curious to relate, the flim-flam man, the thimble rigger and the short change man are said to be most vigorously discour- aged, and the management is said to be attentive and courteous to it's pa TOnS.
