The St. Louis Exposition which will eclipse all previous ones has been postponed one year, from 1903 to 1904. The ^rice of silver on the market today is lower than ever before. The bullion value of the silver in a dollar is about 36 or 37 cents. It has been announced that the Virginia-Carolina Chemi cal company, the so-called fertilizer trust, will begin at once to build a fertilizer fac tory in Montgomery, Ala., to cost $30Q,ooo or $400,000. Judging from the prepara tions that are being made Charleston is determined to make the 22 nd of May,Wag ener day, the greatest of all Exposition "days". Senator McLaurin in an open letter to the people of South Carolina declares that he will not be a candidate in the Democratic primary. This solves a much mooted ques tion. The trust has put the price of beef in many sections be yond the pocketbooks of or dinary mortals Beef is now 25 cents per pound in Atlanta. Chicago packers say that since this anti-trust agitation the consumption o?" beef has decreased 40 per cent. A furniture factory has just begun operation at Abbe ville on a capital of $25,000. The annual output af the fae . itv-v \vilLha^$ioo,ooo worth be employed, id 7^ hands will All strife, discord and fac tional differences among our people have disappeared as ,was evidenced by the har-? mony and cordial feeling that | prevailed in the County con vention on Monday. May Heaven grant that our peo ple in the future will always dwell together in unity and brotherly love. Let "peace on earth and good will toward men" be our motto througn out the cycle 3 of all time. The Aiken Journal and Review remarks that Edge f*eld men have an inherited dove for office. Grant it, con temp orar}r, but we aver that, being worthy sons of noble sires, they have, along with this penchant for office, also inherited those qualities which win for them the laurels of vic .orv. The victories of Edgefield men are so nu mer ous as to become common place, the outside world only takes notice of their defeat. A Jefferson Davis Day. Honorable John J. McMa han, the aggressive and pro gressive State Superintendaut of Education, is urging the teachers of South Carolina to set apart one day at the close of their school to be known as Jefferson Davis day. This is a good suggestion While the thousands of children are studying in a general way the .history of our country it is proper and appropriate that at stated times these frets and figures of history be brought home to them, thereby engen dering a patriotic sentiment in their breasts. The heroism, deeds of valor and achieve ments of their fathers in the Civil war and the sacrifices and loyalty of the fair women of the Southland during that bloody struggle should not be forgotten by them. All of the schools in the county should have a Jefferson Davis lay. A pro-am has been ?repared by Miss Withers, the assistant to the State Su perintendent. If you will vrite to the county superin endent he will procure these *ograms for you. The small town of Cross Hill, Laurens county, has a newly established broom fac tory." Tho product of the 'actory sells readily. THE CLEMSON TROUBLE. Sixty-nine of the Sopho more class of Clemson college have deserted in a bod)', only five members of the class re maining. The reason they give for this action is that the president and faculty disci plined too severely Cadet Thornwell, of Fort Mill, by suspending him for the re mainder of the session for taking four glass tubes from the laboratory after notice had been given that the next cadet who was guilty of this offense would be *'severely dealt with." The class pe titioned the president to rein state Cadet Thornwell which, of course, he declined to do and they thereupon shook the dust from their feet and left. The truth of the matter is there has been for some time friction between the corps and some members of the faculty and this is only a culmination of the trouble. The moral tone and standard of the col lege has never been high and matters have been drifting from bad to worse. This misfortune or blow will be overruled for good by purg ing the institution of an in subordinate element, and im pressing those who remain with the fact that author ity must be respected and obeyed. A young man on entering college and especially one in which military .discipline ob tains . should make up his mind to conform to the rules or regulations or stay a4 home. That military discipline is rigid and the yoke galling at times is true, but it will make a man of almost any lad. Military law knows no con cession; violation calls for punishment. A "strike" in a military school cannot be arbitrated. The. crying need today of many a college is that the student body be m ade to understand that it must conform to the rules and reg illations of the institution and that the standard of the insti tution will not be made to conform to the will of the student body. Sinee writing the *b^Ye tne factSj^^^o^^jftrj^l^y ?lHthi. ?nt color to the whole affair. As a matter of fact Cadet Thornwell did not take the tubes from the laboratory as above stated, but only carried [them from the professor's desk to his own. There seems to be no doubt that President Hartzog and the faculty erred by inflicting punishment more severe than the offense war ranted. The Board of Trustees will investigate the whole affair thoroughly at an early date, then the facts will be correct ly reported. Advertised Letters.

The Human Lottery "Ah, i f only I were beautiful how happy ll fe would be." Many a forlorn mild has said this as che looked into tho mirror. For beauty women have sacrificed borne, love and friends. It is the ono possession in the lottery of human life which women would not refuse . . BRADFIELD S Female Reculator for young girls on the threshold of woman hood, has been invaluable.
