THE BRITISH AGAIN
WAIT IN SUSPENSE.
There is General Belief in Bul
ler's Reported Advance But
no Official Confirmation.

London, Feb. 5, 4 80 a. m.-Ai
though there is no actual con.
firmation of the report that Gen.
Butler has recrossed the Tugela
on third desperate attempt to
relieve Ladysmltb, it is known
that the war office has received
several South African dispatches
which have not yet been publish
ed, and if the advance is an &C
tual fact, the secret is being well
kept.
There are newspaper dispatches
in plenty from Spearman's camp
up to Sunday, but there is no hint
that an advance had been begun.
and it is assumed in some quar-
ters here that Lord Dundonald'>
reconnaissance in the district o.
Hongars Port may be the onl,
foundation for the statemen,
that Gen. Butler has started.
On the other hand, dispatches
from Ladysmith rather indicate
that the advance is In operation
by reporting heavy firing on Fri
day and Saturday from the direc
tions of Potgieter's drift and Col
enso.
A dispatch to the Daily Chron
icle from Ladysmith, dated yes
terday, says:
"a report has reached us thai
one brigade has crossed the Tu.
gela."
The reports that the Beers ar.
reconcentratlng around Lady
smith are also an indication that
preparations are being made t,
resist Gen. Butler, or for an at
tempt at reattack upon the gar.
rIson in anticipation of his ad
vance. The fact, however, that n,
firing has been reported under
YESTERDAYS date, either from
Ladysmith or Spearman's CAM
might he interpreted to meal
either that the attempt had failed
or that Gen. Butler had merel,
made a demonstration on Friday
or Saturday.
Various rumors are current.
One Is that Gen. Butler is again
attacking Spion kop from the
side of Gen. Lyttleton's camp.
Another is that he received in
formation from the owner o.
Splon kop farm and crossed bv
tords further west than Trich
ards drift. The military authori
ties in London think it more like
ly that the crossing would be
made east nf Iwart's kop. Specu-
Iatlon, however. Is useless. The
public can OILY wait in patience.
and, it may be said also. in trepi-
dauon.
Nor is the feeling Of anxiety

Protest OF Edgefield Farmers.

Inc FARMERS held meeting In
the court house at Edgefield on
the 9th Of January to protest
against the increase in the price
of fertilizers and to organize
fight against the fertilizer trust.
The meeting was well attended,
and it was evident that the farm
ers meant business from the spirit.
They are in earnest and have gone
into the fight to win. All portions
of the county were represented.
The meeting was called to or.
der by Col. P. B. Mason, and on
his motion, county superintend-
ent, Mr. D. D. Padgett, was elect
ed chairman. MIR. L. Wigfall
Oh -atham was elected secretary.
The chairman stated that the
object of the meeting was to pro-
vide a means Of fighting the guano
trust as it had raised the price If
fertilizers 25 per cent.
Col. p. II. Mason sta led that
the object of the meeting, from
standpoint was to do good, and if
possible, to persuade farmers to
use one.half to one third as much
gnano as they used a year ago.
Monopolles are making inroads,
and let us put ourselves on record
as opposing them. 1t is too late
to give the guano trust a sledge
hammer blow this year, he feared.
but we could make progress.
Greenwood. Newberry and other
counties have spoken.
A call was made for Mr.. T. II
Rainsford. He arose and said, in
part, that he came to listen and
learn. All that he knew about
the matter was what he had seen
in the papers. When he was a
member of the South Carolina
General Assembly he had intro
duced a bill, which became a law,
opposing trusts. He had studied
the question, aud he had reached
the conclusion that unless trusts
we're opposed and crushed, they
would soon own the country.
Trusts shut out competition and
do harm to the masses of the peo-
pie. The people must organize
against trusts. The Virginia. Car
"llna Chemical company had
bought up everything in their
ilne III order to shut out competi.
ton. IT Owls nearly every plant
from Virginia to Florida. II
might be said that one man owns
1t all and the farmers have TO buy
his products at his own figures.
We must protect ourselves.
Hoped t" see the time when the
masses could throttle tins nctu
pus. If they do not. the octopus
Will throttle them.
Capt. John Il. Blocker stated
that the farmers of his township
(Elmwsod) had organized and
adopted resolutions in regard to
the Increase IN fertilizers. They
determined to fight the trust. he
read the resolutions. which were
full and on the right line. He of
tered them for adoption, but
iinally withdrew them pending "A
iniI and free discussion of the
situation by those present. 1t was
his "prn"n that the. way to who

The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O'ConneII at n Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator. had 4 cortempt for physical
danger. On a certain occasion a meet
ing had been convened, and a large
crowd assembled In room on the first
floor of building in a small city In
ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when a gentleman. pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
''Liberator. the floor Is giving wayl
The beams that shore 1t up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in a few
minutes"
Keep silent" said O'Connell. Then.
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
81 find that the room Is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
In, so we must leave it and hold the
meeting outside the building"
At this a few rose and went out. but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
"I will tell you thu truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way. and we must leave
this room at once. IL there Is panic
and a rush to the door, we shall all be
precipitated into the room below. but
II you obey my orders we shall be
saved. Let the II men nearest the door
| 60 quietly out, then the next II, and so
on till all have gone. l shall be the
last to leave"
His instructions were obeyed to the
letter, and he waited, patient and
calm. till all had gone out In safety.
Then he walked quietly across the
sundering. cracking floor. reaching the
door just as the shattered beams gave
way. And thus, by the force Of bis
strong will, a terrible accident was
averted.-Exchange.
