PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get 500 and Perhaps
Make q Fortune.

MAKE q FOrouuc.
We secure patents and to induce
people to keep track of their bright
ideas we offer prize of one hum
dred dollars to be paid on the first
of every month to the person who
submits to us the most meritorious
invent IN during the preceding
month. We will also advertise
the invention free of charge in the
"National Recorder" a weekly
newspaper, published in Washing
ton, D. c., which has an extensive
circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the inter-
ests of inventors.
Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people as
being very difficult; this deluslon
the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small in
ventions that make the greatest
amount of fmoney, and the complex
ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or
another, conceives an idea, which,
if patented, would probably be
worth to him fortune. Unfortu-
nately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. The SIM
pie inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and
down without breaking the pas
senger's back, the sauce pan, the
collar button, the nut lock, the
bottle stopper, the snow shovel,
are things that almost everyone
sees some way of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions
that bring the greatest returns to
the author.
The prize we offer will be paid
at the eud of each month, whether
the application has been acted
upon by the Patent Office or not.
Every competitor must apply for
a patent on his invention through
us. and whether he secures the
prize or not, the inventor will have
valuable present.

Having obtained charter privi-
leges to operate "THE PEOPLES
MUTUAL FIRE ASSOCIATION"
throughout the different counties
of the State of Georgia, and the
State being a very large cne, con-
tanning 1877 counties, have decided
to sell the remainder of my terri
tory at very low figures.
This plan of insurance has been
operated in this (Edgefeld) county
and throughout the State of South
Carolina under the name of "The
Farmers Mutual Fire Association"
There is no change in the plan of
insurance only q slight change in
the name. The price of counties
range from $50 to 500 each, owing
to the size of the county and the
number you buy. Now all I ask
is that you find outfrom the treas
urer of your county association
how much insurance was written
up in this county and multiply
that by so cents per hundred (the
amount the agent collects), and
am sure you Will be convinced tha
you cannot find a business that

Cheapest and Best.


The Lloyds are creating quite q
racket in insurance circles in this
State. They have already forced the
old liue companies in Greenville and
ether cities in South Carolina to re-
duce their rates fifteen per cent, while
they, the Lloyds, are writing insn-
rance for 1Op per cent less than these
reduced rates-a gain of 2F ner cent.
All this talk about the Lilo. not be-
ing responsible is the merest bosh, for
one man OF the Lloyd association, John
w. Mackay, is able to buy Edgefeld
County and everything in it. except
our consciences.
The Tariff Reduction Reality.
The Tariff reduction on a great
many woollen goods went into eff
feet the first of January, and we
propose to be up with the times,
and to give our friends the full
benefit of this reduction. We have
decided to sell our immense stock
of gents, boys, and children's
ready made clothing at a discount
of 20 per Cent. These goods were
bought in September upon the
very best terms and marked in
plain figures at low price, and
now you can get 20 per cent off
from the price. A suit that sold
for SIS will now be $12. A suit
that sold for $6 will now be $3.50.
This is very plain way for our
customers to see the tariff reduc-
tion end we hope all will give us a
call at once.

The Bank of Edgefield.

We call attention to the annual state
ment, published in another column, of
the condition of the bank of Edgefield
at the close of business on the 3lst day
of December, 1894. The figures there
in are sufficient evidence of the wis
dom and conservatism of the manage
ment of this institutian, and the cli-
max is clapped with $5,047.74 of undi-
yided profits; or in other words, diyi-
dends to the stockholders. Edgefield
has good reason to be proud of this,
one of her favorite financial institu-
tions.

Atlanta, Ca. Jan. s-R. II. Shaw, a
salesman in the carpet house Of r. T.
Corbett, was arrested on warrant is
sued at the request Of his employer to-
day, charging him with systematic rob
berry. Shaw, who is quite well known in
business circles, had been in Mr.. Cor
belts employment for a year, and is
accused of having carried on his opera
tfons throughout that whole period. The
total amount Of his peculation has been
made up.
Several weeks ago an attempt was
made to burglarize the safe In the Office,
and Mr. Corbett also lays this charge
to Shaw's account. inc arrest brought
ont another sensational feature, being
the charge made by both Corbett and
Shaw that L. A. Tanulson, formerly a
partner in the business, had been guilty
of embezzing the funds of the house.
Fanulson, who is one of the best known
salesmen in the city, moving in good
society, had no money invested in the
business, but his name appeared in the
firm on account of his wide acquaintance.
Mr.. Corbett charged him with systematic
robbery up to the time he was discharged
from business, as he says. Shaw says
that he is a scapegoat for Tanulson's
r0fsdeedg.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. SIN view Of the
fact that the House had not completed It's
organization when the Senate met this
morning, the latter body adjourned until
? o'clock this afternoon. After the cleo
ton Of several minor officers the House
took the same action and a committee
was appnted to wait on Gov. Turney and
notify him that they were ready to re-
ceive his message.
Gov. Turney's message was read 20
both houses Of the general assembly this
evening. The only thing that can be
taken as a reference to the contested
governorship IS the recommendation that
the election laws be made more effective.
A number of suggestions are offered TO

of which are taken from the statutes of

JoHNsrowN IN NO DANGER.
The Great Flood of 1850 Resulted From
tho Bnrating Of tho Dam.

Johnstown, Pa, Jan. S.-rhe Democrat
to-day says the impression prevails pretty
generally throughout the whole country
that Johnstown is liable to another such
disaster as the one Of 1889. when thousands
Of human lives were sacrificed and hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth Of
property was destroyed. This Impression
prevails largely for the reason that floods
frequently reported from here through the
press agencies and newspaper editors sieze
such reports and parade them under start
ling headlines calculated Il arouse fear
that the city IS doomed TO destruction.
All this tonds to injure the city and the
Democrat feeling that the press Of the
country will cheerfuly place the situa-
tion OF Johnstown right before the peo-
Pile has respectfully urged the publica-
uon OF the following facts: A
food such as that of 1889. when the
whole world was made to mourn, is not
possible again. That awful calamity re-
suited because of the beaking of the dam
Of a great pleasure lake In the mountains
several hundred feet above the city. The
dam has never been rebuilt and never will
be. The worst food that could occur now
would be an overflow Of the river and the
consequent inundation Of cellars and tho
lower districts OF the city. Such foods
are OF frequent occurrence just as Ahtg are
in all parts of the country where there
are streams. Otherwise Johnstown is free
from danger. just as free as Plttsburg,
st. Louis, Cincinnati or any other city
through which rivers run.
