Edgefeld Advertiser.
This honored member of our ba
| will be elected the next Solicitor 0
| this circuit. and it is scarcely neces
sary to call attention to the coignes o
vantage he occupies. But as it is hi
first race for Office in the circuit, il
may be well to acquaint our readers
especially those out of the county
with his record and character.
J. William Thurmond is abou
thirty years of age. He was named
first in the class, in his examination
before the Supreme court for admis
sion to the bar; this was in January
1883.
He was elected a member of the
House of Representatives in 1898
and his record in that body without
making invidious comparisons is
second to none.
he championed the new fire in
surance laws that require companies
to fix the value of property insured
before, and not after, it is destroyed.
He fought the bill increasing the
number of circuit courts and the es.
tablishment of county courts.
He favored the 100000 appropri-
alton for Confederate veterans; oppos-
ed large subsidies for colleges and
high schools, and favored liberal
appropriations for common schools
His persistent efforts induced the
legislature to extend the time for
paying taxes in 1894 to March 1895;
in this matter he had strong and able
opposition.
He whipped out the Lord bond
bill, after struggle extending over
two sessions, in which he met and
vanished some of the ablest debators
in the legislature, and defeated the
bill by a vote of II to 26, and this in
the face of a majority report favoring
it's passage, thus saving to the State
and it's taxpayers more than $50,
600.
He supported B R. Tillman for
the q. S. Senate and made the NOM
mating speech.
And last but not least, he
is an honest man, pays his debts,
speaks the truth and treats
all classes and conditions court
eously and kindly; if be should meet
his satanic majesty in the public
road. he would bid him a pleasant
'sgood morning, Mr.. Devil" and pass
quickly on his way.
And this is the man the fifth cir
cult expects to crown as its chef
prosecuting officer on the 25th day
of August.

Great Britain IS pushing her arms
 wherever there is SO much as a rumor of gold, and even the malaria of Central Africa cannot keep her away from prom. ised gold fields. The following picture Is given of her recent acquisition by the "Ashsntee Picnic": "A range of nch quartz rocks on the higher ground, on the lower grounds long stretches of au- rife'ons slluvial deposit. Gold practical. ly every where-on the mountain sides, in the river beds, in the common rude ornaments of the people. For triding purchases even the medium of exchange is gold dust. To this region the approach is through fever stricken country, roadless-pathless even-for SO rank is the vegetation, and so rapid its growth, that every traveller hacks a way wh re his predecessor hacked before. Over all hangs the promise of sanguinsry war, another clearing away of barbarian, the of lonR.buried riches, and a further great stimulus given to the cray. ing activities of our generation. ."--Min. ing Industry.

In speaking of how he cured it he says: "I used several kinds of cough syrup bot found no relief until bought bottle of Chsmberlain's Cough Rene- dy, which relieved me almost instantly, aud iD short time brought about com. plete cure" When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief.

"The emphatic speech of the Chan. cellor of the Exchequer on the mainten. snce of the gold standard has temporarily checked speculation for rise in sllyer," says financial journal. Yet this same journal would not hesitate to tell us that the present low price of silver is due wholly to the increase ot silver produc. tion, and the chespness with which it can Do mined. If word from one man can send the price of silver up or down, what becomes of the intrinsic value" argument Tn regard to the relative stand. ard of gold and silver as money metals :? The fact that the principal value of both gold and silver is due to their monetary ure, and that the tree use of one and the restricted use of the other sends the value of the one up and that of the other down, while the free use of both at an accepted ratio keeps them at s parity, has never been successfully controverted. d.--Mining Industry.

Gold and silver sh uld be put upon a perfect equality as of yore, in the ratio of IS to l. All the gold and silver that can be produced to our mints should be coined alike.

Cave cf Wealth.

A Saline, Kansas, dispatch says: Peo. pie living in and around the little town of Hope, west of here, in Dickinson coun. ty, are considerably excited over the be- lief that a great treasury is hidden in a cave in that vicinity.
 Thirty years ago settler living in Nor. rison county, east of Dickinson, cared for a sick stranger, who, when near to death, told them that he was the last of gang of outlaws who for several years had in. tested the Santa Fe trail, west from Coun. cil Grove. In return for the kindness of the family the man con6ded to them that large treasure of money and val. uables was hidden in cave at the head of Turkey creek, and that he alone knew of its location. Just before his death he made an elaborate chart of the cave, showing just where the treasure was hid den.
 The man to whom the drawing was given went at once to the head of Turkey creek, near where the town of Hope, now stands, and in company with Jack Markley, who still lives on the creek, made careful search, but failed to find sny cave. Five years later Michigan colony settled along the Turkey creek valley. One day . herder tracked a wolf to cave at the head of the creek hidden in dense growth of brush and vines. The Michigan people knew noth. ing of the cave story and Markley did not hear of the discovery of the cave. For twenty years the spot has been visited but seldom.
 Recently the tract was bought by A. Henquet, who proceeded to prospect in and around the cave for gypsum. It was then that Jack Markley heard of it's dis. covery and recalled the treasure story.
 Mr. Henquet became interested and he too made trip to Morrison county to look for the man with the drawing. He hsd long since died, but hls widow was living, and told them that the chart was In the possession of c married daughter, who lived in California. Steps were a. once taken to secure it, but 1t has not yet arrived. It is recalled that thirty.five years ago the hilly country at the head of Turkey creek was the rendezvous for gang of despersdoes who terrorized and plundered the settlers and travellers. Later on the gang was broken up by the United S.stes troops. The cave has small opening, but widens to large di. mensions and has never been thoroughly explored. It is being closely guarde d until the plan arrives. Denver News.
