Ed,to, Edgefeid Advertiser:
am reader of
your valuable paper and beg ia
say, while you are giving pros
pective candidates for Congress,
credit for past services, it would
be- no more than fair to these who
are unfamiliar with the public
record of Senator G. l.. Toole Of
Aiken county to say that we do not
know Of eny public man in South
Carolina who has ACCOMPLISHED
more for his people. In our Law
making body we have always fouLd
him striving ard advocatipgthose
measures that have given the
greatest advantages to the great
est l.umbe Of people.
Look at his strong aud suc-
cesaful fight in the interest OF The
laboripg pscple, such az the Child
labor and Ten Hour law, aid also,
his victory for the two and Que
half cent cent passenger rate, the
Justice of which is now admitted
Ly the railroads, which the peo-
pie will enjoy after April first.
His fight step by step for the pro-
hibition cause, securing the pas
sage of the law which was bitter
ly fought in the senate giving the
people the right to vote On the
liquor question IN Aiken Co.
April 18th.
And again when his local cou-
stituents ard the genera travelling
public, stood in need of facilities
for shelter from sun aud rain
while waiting for the cars ou the
Aiken and Augusta trolley line
we find him coming to their res
cue introducing bill and
securing its passage, which ie
now Law, for the erection before
July ]. 1898 Of suitable derots or
waiting rooms along said line,
and many other important meas
ures 100 numerous to mention
here.
The records will show that he
has ever been alert and runctual
to duly in the general asse mbly,
never absent when needed. A man
Of convictions and back bone
enough Ia stand by thc M, who has
champinucd he rights Of The peo-
PIE.
We bell We such faithful SER
vice will be appreciated by the
people. and when they get the op-
portunity, he will be elevated to
higher petition of honor and trust.
Very repeatedly,
James Walker.

A Timely Suggestion.

While in conversation with The
Advertisers representative few
days ago, Mr.. D. A. Tompkins,
who has an abiding interest in
Edgefeld, expressed the opinion
that the town covers too large an
area for the installation of water
works, the expense being too great
for the amount of taxable proper
ty and population. he said, how
ever. that it would te practic ,ble
for the business men to erect a
and-pipe on, or near :he square
9and keep it filled to protect the
business portion of the town. Mr..
Qmpkins did not state positively
t an arrangement could be
de with the mill fol pumping
Hser from Beaverdam into the
!, andspi2e, but expressed the be-
Ilfo That such an arrangement
couldsbe made.
Under this plan, the outlay in
furnishing fire protection for
property adjacent to the public
square would not be very great.
Would it not be we'll for the busi-
ness men to look into its feast
bilityY

HUMANE MEDICAL RESEARCH.
Robert G. Ingersoll's Daughter m
 Incorporator of New Society.

New York, Oct 6.-Miss Maud Inc gersoll of I17 East Twenty-first street, a daughter of the late Robert G. Ingersoll, is one of the incorpora- tors of society for which Justice Gerard of the supreme court approv- ed the papers yesterday. The society is the American Society for Humane Medical Research and the other in- corporators are Mrs s. M. Farrell, an aunt of Miss Ingersoll, who lives in Dobbs Ferry; c. P. Farrell of IF East Twenty-first street, Diana Bo- lais of 2025 Broadway and Eva [. F. Brown of 27 West Thirty-first street.
 None of those interested was will- ing last night to discuss the project, but it was intimated that the society was the outgrowth of the recent dis- .cussions of vivisection. According to the papers of incorporation the 0b- ,jects of the society are given as the conduct of clinical and laboratory research in medical science, to main- tain chemical, physical, biological and physiological laboratories and also to maintain an office and statfh- tical bureau in this city.
 The first meeting of the society will be held at Miss IngersolPs home on October 15, when it is promised the society's programme will be made public.

CITY NEWS.

A daughter was born to-day to MT and Mrs Daniel Larkin of 446 Baldwin street.
 The fire department will com- mence putting in the furnishings in the Baldwin street engine house to- morrow.
 The jury in the district court this afternoon gave verdict for the de- fendant in the suit of John T. Dunn against Albertina Heminson which Is reported elsewhere.
 Daniel Slattery of 55 Pemberton street was struck by a trolley car on Baldwin street yesterday during the noon hour. His left hip was frac- tured and his left leg was broken below the knee The man was badly shaken up and Dr Egan who is att tending him says he may be injured internally.
 There was not word said about the water question at the meeting of the board of aldermen last night. It is said that this was due to the fact that four members, Aldermen Buck, Fitzsimons, Hurley and Tcm- pleton, were absent, and the others thought it best to wait for a full meeting. Some of the city fathers are not satisfied with this Branch project and want the city to try Vol colt. where they claim the finest brooks in Connecticut are running wild through the woods. But while men make these statements nobody cares to take the initiative for Vol colt. so that in the end 1t is quite likely that all will head for the Branch again.
 Although the Branch water does not taste good there is still an abun- dance of 1t there so that in case of fire the department will not be hand ieapped for want of pressure. At the Scovill street engine house the pressure was 100 pounds, which is only about 10 below normal. Some day when the water department plucks up the necessary courage to open the lower gate at the big dam and let the accumulated dirt of years run away, you may expect to see the water near the bottom of the reser- voir fit to drink. but not before Everybody is afraid to open that gate because in case things didn't work just so you couldn't close it when you wanted and then some body might get hurt. Some time when East Mountain Is overfiowing If would be good plan to take ehaneee with that gate and see what t uH do.

A PACK OF LIES
Former Attorney General Mon. net Makes Denial 10 Some
 Published Statements.

Kansas City. Mo, Oct Crank s. Monnett, formerly attorney general of Ohio, was in Kansas City last night to address democratic political meeting. The statement of the Stand ard oil Co.'S attorney at Cleveland was read to him. After reading the statement MT Monnett said: What a pack of malicious lies" He then dictated a statement in which he took up in detail and denied s. H. Tolies statements as to the supreme court proceedings. He concluded:
 "This same s. H. Tolle, who gives out this interview, in company with Larry Neal, both attorneys of record for the Standard OH Co, were the at torneys referred to in my interview as asking the court to have me stop taking the dispositions before E. B. Dillon of Columbus, o.
 "No one ever said that the Stand ard oil Co called a meeting of the board of directors and passed resolu- tions ordering $5O0,000 or any other sum to be invested in the attorney general of Ohio.
 If all that c. B. Squires said was true, did not expect to establish by testimony that the board of directors officially acted and ordered anybody to be bribed, but ] did intend td show whether Squires had received telegram from Abner Mckinley or whether Charles N. Haskell or Rocke- feller had been at any time at Squires's house or whether SQuires had been in town with them CT whether Haskell or Mckinley had of- fees in New York at AZ Broad street at that time. I did intend to find out
 If possible how Squires knew Senator Foraker had had conference with me at Washington on the Standard Oil case and how he knew settle ment was contemplated by the Stand ard Oil Co through Foraker. If he was dreaming all of this 1t was a happy coincidence apd one worthy careful investigation From a psycho- logical standpoint.
 MT Tolle forgets to quote all of Squires's interview in the New Yark world, where he says he knew all of these parties for many years prior to the statement when Squires corrob- orated my original charge that he was to have immunity if he gave up the real parties.
 And he forgets that Squires claim ed he was being backed in his Man haitian Fire Insurance Go case by the Standard Oil people and forgets Squires remained out fn Ohio as far as have been able to ascertain and has remained in New York ever since the attempt at bribery"

 Drop of Twelve Feet.

Syracuse, Oct 6.--De Wolf Hopper, who was giving the first performance of What Happened Then in this city last night, fell twelve feet to the stage. It was manifest that the pop ular comedian was badly hurt and the audience was dismissed.
