The raerchant who fails to advertise because tie is not selling goods is taking a short view of the proposition. It is, of course, necessary to get as much good out of the advertising as possible, but it is not well to be guided wholly by daily returns in estimating the worth of the publicity. If there is a probability of making business in the future it is better to keep advertising in the present. If it seems possible that there will be some way to get the business later by pushing for business now, it will not require much argument to cau.?e the busiuevg man to see the logic of the undertaking. If the merchant can hold on until the returns are great enough to repay the cost of the publicity there will be every reason to keep it up even if the business at the present time is not good. If he is fearful that he may go under before the returns come then he will be making a mistake by trying publicity UUiexs il is guiug iu .yiriu 111111 :ujiueui- | ate returns. Usually, howev* r, a merchant can see far enough into the future to warrant the publicity that may not pay tomorrow or next week, and may not show the returns for several months. The publicity that pays at once if, of course, desirable; but the publicity that yields profits eventually will give satisfaction even though the delay Is annoying. Keep the advertising goiDg until the results are sufficient to satisfy the investor, or until the merchant is sure he can't! realize as he should from what he is J doing. When this point has been reached there will be a surety that the good of the store will he conserved all the time. fc Li : IS I! IK F KEC0U1).

The Instructions issued from the war dipartment in regard to the completion of the (Joutederate rolls is quite disappointing. It was hoped that the act of Congress wouid entble the department to compile from the E records obtainable u complete roster of tht ? Lftflcers and men who served in tbe Confederate armies, but the restrictions p.aced around the proposed work will greatly les 8 >en the interest fell ia the matter when the t act was passed by Congress. Gen. G. C. Ains- c worth is In charge of the details of the work, -tnd in a letter to Col. f. M. Trltible, of Aij> t derson.be uses the following language: ? "The legislation authorizing tbe compila ^ lion of the rosier Is construed by the depart menl to restrict It, in making the compila c i inn t/i Ihn iihp nf original reeurdu mad?dnr \ mg tbe war peiiod, and to preclude the use of printed or manuscript copies or compilation made subsequently. For this reason, and lu urder that tbere Khali be no ground lor doubt bLB to the accuracy of the proposed roster, the department will be unable to use in tne compilation any ot the rollers that have heretotore been published, but must In all cases seek the original records upon which those rot-tern were ba>sed.' This construction of the law will virtually defeat the object In view. The Confederate records were taken to Washington alter the snrreDdwrol Richmond, audit was thought ttiat these couuilned the compete rosters ol the Conlederate troops, or at least that they might be perfected by comparison with uriiited or manuscript rolls maue subsequent to the war between the States. To exclude the compilations made by those who knew the military history ol every man in a given command will most assuredly ignorf tbe very highest evidence that can now be produced. During a long series of years in South Carolina edorts were made to gather this Information, and much valuable woik was lone first and last, which is refused recognition by the war department in tuts compilation. For instance, we happen to know that Co C. PalmettoSharp Shooters, has a complete printed roll ou tile In Columbia that could u?t be improved upon If all the original rolls were accessible. TnreeolJK-ersaud other mem bers worked diiigeutly during the year 1SS5 to perfect the military history ot every man who belonged to the company from April 14,18(31, to April 9, IStio, and with the aid Oi pay rolls audotderiv sergeants' records the name and service of every ma'i is correctly given. Only one ol these ofiicers is now alive, but tbe facts were put in proper shape by htm, and he is prepared t > testify that the roll ol the company is absolutely correct, as noi a single error has been pointed out since its compilation Every survivor and the family of every deceased member was furnished with this printed roster ol the company, and If there had been errors of omission or commission * ihey would have come to light before now. t yet this roll w ill Dot be accepttd by tlie war v department. The original rolls and records In the pos- s stsslon ol private individuals have been scat \ tered and lost In many instance*, because ] copies here arid ttiere found lodgment in desks aud bureaus, and wheu tbe original 1 owner was called hence the chances are that the value of such documents fell In the eyes < ol others. It is fair to presume that the large . majority of muster rolls held by officers and * men cannot now bo produced, although e many ol ihem are yet In existence, and the l effort toobtalu them will not meet with any great auccesd. It is to be regretted that the war department canDot see its way clear to C use authentic Information outside of the original records, but the act of Congress ought to be ameuded in this particular, so that the rolls alre.idy in possession ol the f State can be utiliz-d by the department. Tbe ] publication of rosters only from original sources will exclude a large number of soldiers from the record, when the object aimed nt whs to procure an accurate and full roster ol each command. This order of the department will nullify the act of Congress, ' and delay the consummation of uu ad mirable puruose. A Swi>|>[?itiB Party. One of the most p'easant entertainments ' our town has -ttended recently was given by the Daughters of the Confederacy Thursday t evenug ut tbe home of Judge E B. Gary, t The hospitable home was thrown open to the j public. E<en the front gale was propped | 6 buck on itshiriues to announce a hearty wel- t come to all Interested in the patriotic cause. , Tbe beautiful hall was lighted \vIt(i Japanese lanterns while rutic seats were and there to attract tlie youthful coupler. As each guest entered the house his paek:tg? wag placed in the hands of "a receiver". Big I bundle*, little bundles, crawling bundles and i mysteries of various dimensions were plied! ' up until it looked as though the sale of a * dead letter office was pending. With cur- | ( tosityat Its highest pitch we were told tliati, the swapping would be tbe last on the pro- ? gram. A musical program was well rentier I ed. Tbe tirnt number was an instrumental j polo by Mitts Simpson, a most skillful planoist who is teaching music In our town. Kollowli g her came pretty little E<ther Oraydon who recited, "Where is my Doll." The next number was a piano selection by Miss | Blanche Gary whose Hklli is the admiration of all who have heard her perform. Miss Ellen Sherard's readme was of a high order aud 1 she was brought back by round** of applause aud recited another piece to tire delight of ' the large audience. Miss Jessie Speed's rec ilutlou "When tbe minister comes to tea," whs much enjoyed and the preachers were let Into the secret. When the swapping beKan the ladles were upset by tbe sudden leap of three young frogs lulo their midst. The same brave women who had stood firm dur- ? ing the heroic struggle iu t he sixties were put ^ to flight by three frogs. They are ludebted J to Master Jack Brownlee for these fine spec- ? lmens of country raised disturbers o.' the peace. Ice cream and cake were Berved on tho lawn.

A HEALTHY MAN. flere Are the Points That Go to Make a Centenarian. Here are the points of a healthy man. [f you have them all you may, barring iccidents, count on being a centenarian, [f you have most of them, you'll reach a ipe old age, but even if you have only a 'ew don't be alarmed, for many apparenty crazy human machines last a surprisngly long time. First, your body and limbs should be jlump, but the plumpness should be of ;he firm and muscular, not the fleshy type, if our figure ought to be erect, and,whether rou aro tall or short, well proportioned. Liength without breadth is a very bad ihing in a man, for there is no room for rital organs large enough to thoroughly perform their duties. Your step should be springy and elastic, rour gait firm and easy. These things inlicato muscles of good quality and nerve >f good tone. Your eye 6hould.be bright ind neither prominent nor hollow. Bright syes 6how that the circulation of blood in he brain is good. Y our complexion snoum do ciear ana 'rcsh. It is usually not well with you vhen your faoo is pale, sallow, florid or iubject to sudden flushings. But in this natter your occupation has great influsnce, and you might have the worst possi)lo complexion and bo in perfect health. 3ut that, of course, is the exception, not he rule. Your head should not be very large, or it least if it is large your neck, shoulders ind chest ought to correspond in size. If rou feci your pulse, it should be regular; f it drops a beat now and again or beats rcry fast and excitcdly after the least exsrtion or emotion then the heart is weak. iTour breathing should be tranquil and intudible. Any sounds mean that the pasages are moro or less clogged. You should not know you have a etomich?that is to say, as a rule. Of course hero are times when that organ gets out >f order in tho healthiest individual, and hen it is always" sure to make its owner iware of its existence. You should always, except when tho weather is fcitterly iold, feel comfortably warm through your vhole body, even to the tips of the fingers md toes. Otherwise something is wrong vith the circulation or the heat producing ipparatus. You should have sound sleep, without Ireams or nightmares, and it should not ast too long or too short?say, eight to light and a half hours every night. Your voice should not be hoarse, and rou 6hould be a stranger to sore throats. Four appetite should not be too great or oo small, while you 6hould not be a suferer from headaches, giddinoss or neualgia, and, of course, you should not have >alpitations or faintings or varicose veins. If you answer to the above description, rou have neither disease of the brain, ipinal cord, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, nuscles or nerves, and you are in as perect health as it is possible for human bengs to be. But at the 6ame time many a round ihouldered, narrow chcsted, thin and salow man is as toui^h as steel, works hard md lives till ho is almost tired of the vorld, and, of course, even the healthiest >f us must go through a course of colds, oughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks and he liko. Still, if your chest is small in proportion o the rest of your "body you are likely to lave less stamina, and you should not >verdo such things as football, cycling or iven brain work.?New York World. ue uiu tin Meai.

New Scholarships for Men t E Teachers at the South e Carolina College. 1 a Clause from Appropriation Act of Gen- s eral Assembly, 1903: e "That one thousand six hundred and <] fforty dollars be appropriated to be used I to provide forty-one scholarships in the g t Normal Department, one irom eacn ? ' county, of the value of forty dollars, besides the remission of tuition and matriculation fees, the beneficiaries to a be selected under regulations to be prescribed by the Board of Trustees." This means $40 in cash to the student, besides remission of $40 tuition and of g $18 matriculation term fee. Thus the * scholarship student will receive from . the College $5 a month for eight months { to assist ham in his necessary living . expenses. ^ REGULATIONS BY THE BOARD. J 1. Applicants shall be young men at J least nineteen years of age. The pur- J pose of the General Assembly being to t entourage men teachers, preference [ will be given to those who furnish sat- v isfactory evidence of having already ? taught for at least one session, and r with success; but if from any county j there be no suitable applicants who have taught, the scholarship of that county may be awarded to a young man who only intends to teach. 2. Applications shall be made to the ] President of the College, at Columbia, rj before July 1st, upon prescribed blanks x furnished by the President or by County t Sunerintendents of Education, upon re- , quest.

In the primitive Hoosier cabin?rough, acouth, simple abodes?more genuine ippiness has been enjoyed than in all the ae, costly mansions in the great city of ew York. Thousands of wealthy, reactable men and women are living toly who were born, reared and married in ich humble cabins. And there are nations of people living today who have no lea how these cabins are constructed. The pioneer from some of the old east n or southern states, with his wife, six . eight children, gun and dog, would >me to Greene county in hiia covered agon, which was the family abode until 3 erectcd his cabin, which was construct1 thus: Cut about 40 logs 8 or 10 iches in diameter, 20 of them 16 feet long ad 20 of them 14 feet long; slope the ids off half and notch tho other half to fc; put chunks in tho cracks of the logs ad daub them with mud. The gables ere made of shorter logs until reaching hat is called tho comb, the ends sloped Dwn to suit the pitch of the roof. It being now ready for covering, cut a J 1A W JlCS O W U lUt'Ut'9 lix uiumcwif JL\J J.VUU >ng, or the length of the house, notch 10m down on tho gables about 8)i feet part. Cut down a largo oak tree, square 10 butt and saw cuts four feet long, split 1cm in blocks about six inches square, ike a frow and rive boards half an inoh lick, lay them lengthwise on the aforelid poles or rafters, breaking joints; eight them down with small poles. You re now ready for the floors. Cut poles jc inches in diameter, length the width t the cabin, for lower joists; place them bout four feet apart; cut a tree?generalr linn or some soft wood?saw logs about jc or eight feet long; split into slaba bout three inches thick; how smooth, r'ith these make the floor. The door ia lade of boards the same as the roof, only inger. The fastening is a wooden latch >ith a string hanging on the outside, ine window, 14 by 16 inches, has greasi paper for glass. The ceiling is made rith poles for joists covered with clapoards. Now comes the most scientiflo meohan?1 part of cabin building?the fireplace nd chimnoy.

GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT. k Commerce and Transportation May A Have Place In Cabinet. Good road enthusiasts are confident that the bill providing for the creation of a new government department will [ be passed at the coming session of con- i gress. The measure, as proposed and j nn it will be backed by the good roads i people, provides for the establishment of a department of commerce and transportation or commerce and public works. It Is Intended to establish under its direction a bureau of good roads. At present the bureau of public road inquiries is under the department of agriculture. It is also the intention to place, bureaus now under the direction of the Interior and treasury departments under the proposed department of commerce. President Moore of the National Good Roads association recently said: "I have talked with a great many members of congress this summer, with the result that I am confident the new department will be created at the i next session. nrvery otruuiur uuu icyicsentative I have seen favors it. "Heretofore the politicians have not understood the situation, but now they are getting their eyes opened. The people are also beginning to see something must be done toward building permanent good roads. Our mission is to educate, and in establishing this department and making a liberal appropriation for it the government will also be educating. No one expects the government to build the roads. Such a proposition would be foolish. The government can, however, build sample roads and thereby let the people know what the advantages are. The states must build the roads. "The railroads are Interested in a movement for good roads because they realize good roads are essential to their Interests. At present shipments practically stop in a large part of the country for five months every year because the farmers cannot get to the railroad stations. The result Is the railroad companies must trytobavfe cars enough - to carry the business when the farmers can get to the stations. This compels them to keep large numbers of cars ' Idle much of the time, and as they I don't want to maintain any more rolli Ing stock than is absolutely necessary i they are usually short of cars when the rush comes. With good roads all over [ the country the traffic would be distributed through twelve months of the year. This Is the reason the railroads want good roads." STATE AID IN NEW YORK. What It la Accomplishing For Road I Improvement. 1 In a recent bulletin reviewing the i | work of road improvement In New York state State Engineer Bond says: , The legislature appropriated $420,000 for road Improvement this year, and t in the three years In which road lmi provement work has been In progress ' 20 roads, having a total mileage of 45 1 miles, have been Improved at a cost of ' $367,600; that 36 roads, having a mlle, age of 122 miles, are now undergoing . improvement at a cost of $773,730; i that funds have been awarded for the lmprovemeiii ui o iuuud ua<w^ a wu^ > age of 7 miles at a cost of $56,600, and that plans have been approved by boards of supervisors of 12 counties for the Improvement of 47 roads, hav* Ing a mileage of 134 miles, which j would Impose an expense upon the . state and the counties, If adopted, of , $1,091,443. When all the roads already Improv? ed, those under Improvement and > those whose Improvement Is suggested have been Improved, 106 will have " been constructed In 23 counties, covj erlng 310 miles, , at a cost of $2,289,1 374.35, of which the state will have paid one-half acd the counties one-half. 1 ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO. j r Improvement Does N< : Keep Face ' With the Demand of the Time*.

Judging from the enthusiasm which ? attended the recent annual meeting of t the Tennessee Good Roads association, 8 much work In the improvement of 1 highways will be accomplished In that state next year. The convention was not content with academic discussions of the advantages of good roads, the ? best material for roadways and the! ^ like, but took practical steps toward a r realization of the Ideals. To secure . united action throughout the state and g to build up an organization which i rrould be strong enough to demand legi islation each county court was urged ' to send three delegates to each annual meeting of the State Roads association. 3 It was decided also to ask the legislai ture for the appointment of a state en L gineer to consult witn coumy Buyer.* lntendents lrx the matter of roads and bridges and for legislation which would permit the employment of Jail Inmates ' In road making.
