Wednesday, May 14, - - 1902 President Roosevelt sends a special message to congress, recommending an appropriation of $500,000 for rescuing the citi zens of Martinique. The rapid rate at which our State pension list is growing in dicates that the increase in the pension appropriation means but a small increase of pay to the most needy individual pensioners. Messrs. F. W. Wagener & Co. of Charleston have our thanks for a copy of "Charleston and the Exposition Illustrated," which beautifully illustrates the great achievement of the "City by the Sea," in the accomplishment of which more credit is due to the head of the above firm than to anyone else. There now remain but two weeks more of the Charleston ex position, the praises of which have been sung by everyone who has visited it. Such an oppor tunity is not likely to be yours again soon; so if you can possibly arrange your business so as to attend, you should by all means do it. A treat is in store for you. The best memorial South Carolina could dedicate to her greatest, grand est son would be the plain, unvar uished vet full blooded history of the campaign of 1876, unmatched in all the ages, in which Wade Ham pton proved the savior of his people. It would be whiter than marble, more enduring than brass, and all the futrure. would be the better for the influence it would have upon the generations to follow the fast talling veterans of the older days. And there is one, only one, man in the State conpetent to such a splendid work-Carlyle McKinley of Charleston. The General Assembly at its next session should lay such coi mand of the State upon hii, and make an appropriation sufficient to keep this prince of Carolina writers on Easy street the remainder of his years in part appreciation of such inestimable service.-Barn well People.

'A bushel will plant five acres in 30-inch rows, the hills being 20 to 24 inches apart. Planted be tween the hills of corn a bushel will plant ten acres allowing 3 to 5 peas for each hill.-Aiken Re corder. The above paragraph from our * Aiken contemporary is timely and appropriate with the excep tion of that part that refers to the number of iseed to be put in * a hill. Our experience has been that peas do best when planted several in a hill, and instead of 3 to 5 for each bill 8 to 12 are better, for from this number of seed 4 to 6 good strong plants - R should be obtained. A bill with only one vine is almost sure to pro've a failure. And what is true of field peas is also true of English peas and( beans, both of which do better planted thick -~ the peas being literally sown in the dlrill and the beans being planted in hills with 2 to 4 to each hill That was a timely res udutioL, 4 ~ introduced at the cou:ty can on tion, providing for a sp) ial how at the primary at wi,-hL t h. i o - ple shall express them<~ IV - to the removal of the j til nn the enlargement of the coun house.

What is espe cially needed now is a committee which shall devise ways and means for the work, should it be acted upon favorably by the~ voters. One thing is sure, and that is the voters will kill the movement unless it is put in such a shape that they can see that they can affjrd the improvement, and that they cannot afford to be without it. Now that the matter has been sprung in such a public way, every effort should be put for+b to carry it through, for its failur at this time would only (ebii this lon)-weede( improve encit for several years longer. Jen%insville Jottings. Farmers around Jenkinsville are greatly encouraged by the iain. Things assume quite a different aspect from what they did before, for gardens as well as the crops needed it. Rev. J. H. Yarborough and son James Henry came down to ac company his mother, Mrs. E. J. Yarhorough, on a trip to Geor ;ia, leaving on Tuesday and re turning Thursday. On last Friday evening the writer had the pleasure of attend ing a delightful ice-cream party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Swygerts, which was given in honor of Mr. H. C. Lorick. There was plenty of ice-cream and plenty to partake of it. Every one reported as having quite a nice time. The music was skillfully rendered by Miss Mary Swygert and Irene Scott on the piano and Messrs. Counts and Stonedmire on the violin and guitar. Misses Elnita and Stella Ruff have just arrived from the expo sition. Misses Mayde and Lois Chap pell are now at home, schools having closed.

The Methodist's Won't Give Him Up to the Baptists. To the Editor of The State: In Rev. L. J. Bristow's inter esting letter concerning the Southern Baptist convention he names a number of prominent South Carolinians who are mem bers of the Baptist church. In this list State Treasurer R. H. Jennings is included. Brother Bristow will have to excuse us we cannot let him have Brother Jennings. We might be induced to part with some of our ".promi nents," but not with R. H. Jen nings. Methodist he is and Methodist he must remain. Brother Bristow can console himself with the reflection that Jennings wouldn't make a good Baptist any way. When a minis ter of the Methodist or some other church gave the invitation to all church members irrespec tive of denomination to come forward and commune with them, Jennings' big fraternal heart would grow responsive and he would find himself at the com munion table partaking with his brethren. Or when a church meeting was called to considex the matter of receiving into mem bership some one who had al ready been baptized Jennings would be on his feet making a motion like this: Inasmuch as the brother has already received the ordinance of baptism I move that he be received into fellow ship with us without. being re baptized. These departures "from the faith" and others that he might make would bring trouble. No R. H. Jennings wouldn't make a good Baptist. He does make a splendid Methodist; has renderec il,valuable service to that church, in it he must stay. G. W. Davis. Edgefield, May 9, 1902. Stops the Cough and works off the Cold.

The proof is easy. In a few days this great ex ponent of industrial progress will pass into history, the exhibits will be scattered to* the. four quarters of the earth, and the beautiful buildings removed. Those who have not seen it should not miss the opportunity of their lives, those who have, should see it again. It cannot be seen too often. The remaining weeks are full of special "days," conspicuous among them Odd Fellows Day, May 13; West Indian Day, May 16, and last but not least "Wage ner Day," May 22, designated in honor of the president of the company, who by his unfaulter ing zeal and liberality has given fruition to the plans of his com pany. Every South Carolinian, every man who loves a good patriotic citizen should be on the exposition grounds on "Wagener Day," and show at least some faint recognition of the work one man has done. The railroads have made the lowest rates for "Wagener Day's that has ever been made on any occasion, and all can afford the small expense of attending the exposition. WVhat Came of It.

It was remarked a few days ago by a citizen that it is some what remarkable that the serious troubles that have occured in colleges in this State have been in military colleges; which are popularly supposed to represent the highest type of discipline. His explanation was that the rule in military colleges is not disci pline at all in its true sense as applied to students in- educa tional institutions, but compul sion. There is something in this worth thinking about, for it does seem that students behave much better in colleges where they are put largely on their honor. The readers will recall the very serious troubles at West Point in hazing and other forms of insubordiration; the trouble in the Citadel academy a few years ago, when the senior class left in a body under circumstan ces somewhat similar to those recently occurring it Clemson, and the previous trouble at Clem son, when a large portion of the student\body openly demauded the removal of ono of tfi fessors from the faculty. Students are not different from other people; if they are put on/ their honor and trusted they will prove themselves worthy of trust. If they are controlled by power Iand by the surveillance of their teachers they will seek oecesions to break the rules. 'Ihis does not necessaiily mean. that the military features sof Clemson or the Citade1 is wrong in itself, but it will 'not do to de pend on that for securing disci pline.-Newberry Observer.

I look over the .laily and weekly press in vain to find where it can be purchased. On this they are as sile.nt as the omh. In vain I look at the signs on the street, or in the shop win ,iow for it. It is sold in every village and hamlet in the land, and yet no drummer ever carries samples of it and never takes an order for it. Its price never rises, and yet it payst handsomely all who deal in it. And strange to say there is usually but one place in a town that keeps it. There is always a supply of it never too much nor too little. It -' is never taxed, no matter how many thiousanid dol:ars' worth.are in stoek. There has never been any corner or speculation in it, and its price at whoh-saile or re tail is always just the same, It has never made a millionaire or a puper.
