Bases of the Greatness of America. Standing upon the threshold of tho new year is a fit position to take a short view of the past, to consider the present and to look to the future Tho United States is now, beyond question, the most powerful nation on the globe. Its vast material interests are unparalleled in the his tory of nations. In accumulated wealth it stands first. In educa tional advancement and social eleva tion, in agrien1 cyral and manufactur ing indu8tn\^u in its possibilities for the fv^?^ lo other nation on earth ca.?^^$S* with it. Not the aplend^jS^^1^. under Cyrus, nor the \>?* Qu'ion of J* , f Rome under A c?Vnud .most1" - j almost the then known worhl, with it population of ?'2f>,000,000, can be compared with the material magnifi cence of our own country. Greece in the time of Pericles reached tho zenith of its fame and power, but how insignificant was Greece in all save its literature and fine arts to the boundless resources of the United States! The dominating power of Franco under Louis XIV and tho vast empire controlled by Charles V, sf Spain, were standards of kingly power and supreme authority in .hoso times, but the empires of Charles and Louis, ruled by despot sm and shaken by internecine itrifes, wore far inferior in all the dements of durable prosperity and greatness to our own land. Even he vast regions consolidated into an impire u/?der the reign of good ^uuen Victoria cannot compote as vealth producing factors with the Jnited States. In the provisions or maintaining .education, in tho reedom of thc citizen, in world-wide nfluonce and in moral strength no ?thor government that exists to-day ?r ever has existed in the many cen uries of which history makes record quals tho government of the United ?tates, acting in unison with the 5tato governments. Its economic orces are the best ordered and rained ; its educational institutions, ar greater in number than exist in ill Europe, are the most richly en lowed ; its public school system, vb ich ramilles to the remotest corner >f the country, is the most efficient ; he intelligence and enterprise of its MM.plc are tho most pronounced and the most generally diffused ; its rail .oad system, now covering about] 500,000 miles, represents noarly one mlf of the world's mileage-in all rhese things the United States stands vithout an equal. Unlike the na .ions of antiquity, and unlike many nodern nations, its greatest business s not war, nor does it rest ?ts high est renown upon warlike deeds. Its] conquests are tho conquests of poace, .hough when fighting is to bo done t is well done, for it is the only na .ion that has always boon victorious igainst all its enemies. Divided uto political parties in time of peace, ts people are one when danger .hreatens. The history of tho country is full >f lessons. Errors have beon made n legislation, but in spite of them ho country has moved on at such in axcellcrated ratio that tho most iptimistio, if a prediction of our .resent advancement had been made hirty years ago, would have pro tounced it the delirious dream of a anatlual enthusiast. Emerging from i civil war, tile most strenuous, the most expensive, the most bloody mid tho most prolonged of any in modern times the virile strength, energy and manhood of its peoph, hardened and seasoned by the severity of the conflict, wero directed to material advancement. Every branch of human industry felt the impetus. Beginning with agricultural develop ment, great areas over which the wild Indian and the buffalo had roamed for countless ages were brought into cultivation and made the grunaries of tho world. Mean while tho system of agriculture and labor in the South was readjusted to the necessities of the situation, and a diversity of productions was sub stituted where for nearly a century the one-crop system had been domi nant. Expanding and progressive agriculture has produced results amazing in the statistical exhibit. The growth of manufacturing has been even more marvelous. In 1892 our production of pig-iron was a little over 9,000,000 tons ; in 190*2 it was about 17,500,000 tons. The coal output of 1892 was 170,000,000 tons; in 1902 it was about 270,000, 000 tons. In 1880 the total oapital invested in manufactures was $2, 790,000,000, and tho value of tho product was $5,309,579,191 ; by 1900 the capital had increased to nearly 10,000,000,000, and the value of tho product to ?Jil3,000,000,000, and fo/ 1902 the value of the product-was probably about $15,000,000,000. So great has been the rapidity of the industrial development that the means of transportation havo hardly kept pace, notwithstanding the in crease in mileage from 94,000 miles in 1880 to 200,000 miles at present, and notwithstanding that by the use of heavy rails, powerful engines, strong bridges and capacious cars eaoh engine is made to do seven times the duty required of ono in 1870, and each freight car carries on an average of three times the freight then carried. The vast traffic of the country ?H congested by the inability of railroads to handle it, and this means that we must enter upon a great railroad building era. Meanwhile foreign commerco has grown to a magnitude challenging credulity, and its figures teach us to appreciate still more the greatness of the commercial, manufacturing and agricultural advancement of our oountry, and to emphasize the extra ordinary development of human energy and human achievement that have taken place within a generation. With such a masterful race controll ing tho destinies of tho country, the and is not yet in sight. There seems to be no limit to the possibilities of man's inventions and discoveries in BLIND' FOLD. Blindfold woman and she loses all confi dence in herself. Her step is slow, hesitating and uncertain. Her hands are raised to ward the im aginary blows which threaten her. When a . lek woman seeks the means of health she is often like a woman blindfold. She has no confidence. She cannot tell what her effort will lead to. She turns now to this side and then to the other in uncer tainty and doubt. The sick woman who uses Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription may do so with absolute confidence. It invites open eyed investigation. There need be no hesitation in following the hundreds of thousands of women who have found a perfect cure for womanly ills in the use of thia medicine. " Favorite Prescription " cures irregu larity and dries weakening drains. It heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. "With s heart full or gratitude to you for send ing out over the land your wonderful medicine I .end these few lines, hoplag that some poor suf fering women will try br. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. Cora I.. Root, of Qreensprlng Fur nace. Washington Co., Maryland. "I had suf fered neverly from female weakness and had to be in bed .rgYeat deal of the tim*. Had head ache, backache, and pain in left side when lying down. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription, and had not taken two bottles when I was able to be around again and do my work with but little pain. Can now eat any thing and it never hurts me any more. Have taken seven bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, and one of hts ' Compound Hatrsct of Sniart-Weed and several vials of his 'Pleasant Pellets.' Feeling better every day. My hus band says I look netter every day." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure bil iousness and sick headache. science, which go to multiply human effort. Electricity within the past twenty years ha? entered moat largely upon its practical work. It heats, it lights, it drives. It has boen taught to carry the human voice and to convey messages in stantaneously over thousands of miles. The subtle, imponderable but potent force is transmissible through long distances, thus making waterfalls hitherto useless, because inaccessible, available by being con verted into electrical force for driv ing machinery, for lighting our houses, for cooking our food and for propelling cars. Where shall all this development end ? Who can mark its limits? Who can grasp the infinity of human endeavor whore every natural advantage pre sents itself, where mind and musole, matter and natural forces coalesce and co-operate in the achievement of great ends? Who can stay this progression in tho march of destiny ? What was seemingly impossible in one decade becomes possible in the next. No other people in the world were over provided with such facilities for the acquisition of knowledge. By tho establishment of rural routes the citizen living in the country can now road bis daily newspaper. By the uso of the telephone he is put in touch with all the world. Country lifo now has no terrors for tho edu cated. By tho use of the appliances named tho farmer's home is made happier and better. Without leav ing it he can sell bis crops, ordor his supplies, savo weary travel and loss of time. And yet with all these conven iences and comforts and unexampled prosperous conditions there are oroakers in the land uttering predic tions of dire calamity. No ono can deny tho great prosperity which the country is enjoying. When, if over, were so many people employed at orood prices' and so many ablo to buy tho comforts and necessities of life? When, if over, wore so many immi grants coming to this country to sup lily the demand for labor? When, ! ever, have tho farmers of the iountry had ?HO much to soil and at mell good prices?

The Board of Regents of the Hospital for tho Insane held their annual meeting yesterday and pre pared the report to the Legislature. One vc ry important recommendation will be submitted to the General Assembly. The hospital is taxed to its utmost and the board feels more than ever the necessity for economizing space. There aro many persons eared for os patients who properly belong else where. They are indeed wards of the State in their helplessness, but is this the plaee for them ? The regents think that as tho county jail is re lated to the State pm on, so should tho county home bo to the Shiite Hospital for the Insane. There are in the latter institution persons of depleted mentality, idiots, imbeciles and others as harm less, who could bo oared for in the oonnty homes aud who should be in order to make room for those more deserving of the medical attention of the State Hospital. The natural antipathy toward an asylum has been lessened in recent years and by the display of tact, it is believed by tho regents, that the county home will loose its repulsiveness to some who now prefer tho seclusion of t,he Stato Hospital. The board endeavor., to impress upon the General Assembly that the constitution makes it mandatory for each county to have a homo for its dependents, and it is urged that the Legislature take some steps toward developing the several county insti tutions into places fit for the recep tion of harmless and helpless feeble minded persons. These recommendations are in keeping with the policy of the super intendent, Dr. J. W. Babcock, whose administration bas been mest success ful and most satisfactory. Ho is frequently placed in a very trying position. With the institution crowded, ho is constantly besought to take "just one more," when some times that one should be taken care of by the county. During the year now ending, one of the oldest and most useful mem bers of the board has passed away Mr. Anthony White, of Sumter. Ile has been succeeded by Dr. W. W. Ray, of Richland county. The term of Dr. B. W. Taylor, of Co lumbia, expires in the year at hand. He will be reappointed to continue his long and appreciated service.

John McDowell, who was onoe a coal miner, gives the following sketch of his life : "I'm 12 years old, goin' on 13," said the hoy to the boes of, the breaker. Ile didn't look more than 10, and be was only 0, but the law said he must be 12 to get a job. He was ono of a multitude of the 16,000 youngsters of the mines who, because rainers' families are large and their pay comparatively small, start in the breaker before many boys have passed their primary schooling. From the time he enters the breaker lhere is a rule of progress that is almost always followed. Once a breaker boy, iho upward growth of boy to man, breaker boy to miner, the descent from manhood to old age, from miner to breaker boy ; that is tho rule. So the nine-year-old boy who is "12, goin' on 18," starts in the breaker. Ile gets from 50 to 70 cents for 10 hours' work. He rises at 5.80 o'clock in the morning, puts on his working olothes, always soaked with dust, eats his breakfast, and by 7 o'clock ho has climbed the dark and' dusty stairway to the screen room, where ho works. He sits on a hard bench built aoross a long chute, through whioh passes a steady stream of broken coal. From the coal he must pick the pieces of slate or rook. It is not a hard life, but it is con fining and irksome. Sitting on his uncomfortable seat; bending con stantly over the passing stream of coal, his hands soon become cut and scarred by the sharp pieces of slate and coal, while his finger nails are soon worn to the quick from contact with tho iron ohute. The air he breathes is saturated with coal dust, and as a rule the breaker is fiercely bot in summer and intensely cold in winter. In many of the modern breakers, to be sure, ni vam heating pipes have been introduced into the screen rooms and fans have been placed in some breakers to oarry away the duBt. But, however favor able the conditions, the boy's life is a bard one. Yet it is a consistent introduction to what is to follow. The ambition of every breaker boy is to enter the mines and at the first opportunity ho begins there as a door boy-never over 14^* years ol age and often under. The work ol the door boy is not so laborious at that in tho breaker, but is more monotonous. Ile must bo On hand when the first trip of cars enters ir the morning and remain until tin Inst comes out at night. His duty it to open and shut the door as mer and oars pass through tho door which controls and regulates th? ventilation of the mine. He is alon? in the darkness and silence all day save when other men and boys past through bis door. Not many o these boys care to read, and if thOj did it would bo impossible in th? dim light of their small lamp Whittling and whistling are th< boy's chief recreations. Tho doo boy's wages vary from 65 to 75 cont a day, and from this be provides hi own lamp, cotton and oil. Just as the breaker boy wants t< bo a door boy, tho door boy wants t< bo a driver. When tho mules an kept in the mines, as they usuall; are, the driver boy must go dowr th shaft in time to olean and hf?..?es his mule, bring him to the foot o the shaft and hitch him t< a trip o empty cars before 7 o'olock. Thi trip of cars varies from four to sever according to tho number of minen Tho driver takes the empty oars t the working places and returns thor loaded to the foot of the shafl They aro then hoisted to tho surfac and conveyed to the breaker, wher the coal is cracked, sorted on denned, and made ready for th market. Thero are to-day 10,00 drivers in tho anthracite coal mine 'These boys are in constant dango not only of falling roof and explo? ing gas, but of being orushed by tb oars. Their pay varies from $1.1 to $1.25, from whioh sum they su] ply their own lamps, cotton and oi When the driver reaohes the a; of twenty he becomes either a rm ner or a laborer in the mines, t. J: frequently tho latter. The runner the conduotor who collects the loach cars and directs the driver. The 1 borer is employed by the miner, snl jeot to the approval of tho superb tendent, to load the oars with tl ooal whioh has been blasted by tl miner. As a rule ho is paid so mm per oar, and a deffinito numbor oars constitute a day's work-tl number varying in different min averaging from five to seven, equs ing from twelve to -fifteen tooti of coal. The laborer's work is often made difficult by the water and rook whioh are found in large quantities in coal veins. There are 24,000 laborers in the anthraoite mines of Pennsylvania, each one of whom is looking forward to becoming a rainer in the teohuioal sense of the word-that is, the em ployer of a laborer. To do this a laborer must have had two years' experience in praotioal raining and be able to pass an examination be fore the district board. If be passes he beoomes a oontraotor as well as a laborer. Ho enters into a contract with the oompany to do a oertnin work al so much per oar or yard. He blasts all the OOH), and this in volves judgment in looating the hole, Bk.il! in boring it, and oare in pre paring and determining the size of the shot. . The number of blasts per day ranges from four to twolve, according to the size and character of the vein. He is responsible for the propping necessary to sustain the roof. According to the law of tho State of Pennsylvania, tho company operating the mine is ol iged to fur nish the miner the needed props, but the miner must place them at suob places as the mine boss designates. Most of the boring is done with hand machines. The miner furnishes his own tools and supplies. His powder, squibs, paper, soap and oil he is compelled to buy from tho oompany which employs him. His equipment includes the following tools : A hand machine for drilling, a drill, sorapor needle, blasting bar rel, orowbar, piok, shovel, hammer, sledge, cartridge pin, oil oan, tool box and lamp. As a rule he rises at 5 a. tn. ; he enters the mine shortly after 6. In some cases he is obliged to walk n mile or more underground to reach his place of work. He spends from eight to ten hours in the mino. Taking 300 days as tho possible working time in a year, the anthracite miner's daily pay for the past 20 years will not average over 11.60 a day, and that of the laborer ?ot over $1.35. His dangers are many. He may be crushed to death at any time by lie falling roof, burned to death by t,he exploding of gas, or blown to pieces by a premature blast. So langerous is bis work that he is de barred from all ordinary life insur ance. In no part of the country will you find so many crippled boys md broken-down men. During the ast thirty years over 10,000 men and Soys have been killed and 25,000 lave been injured in this industry. Not many old men are found in the nines. The average ago of those lilied is 32.13. It is an endless routine of dull plodding work from 9 years until leath-a sort of voluntary life im prisonment. Few escape. Once ,hey begin, they continue to Hvo ont ,heir commonplace, low-leveled ex stence, knowing nothing bettor. OAPUBINB CURES Sick Hendadle, .Nervousness, and Feverishness. NO EFFECT ON THE HEART.

The license costs $25. Some time ago it happened that the internal rovenuo department found out that the fruit juice and vinous beverages concocted and sold at druggists' fountains con tain alcohol. They do not contain much, and none is put into them at tho fountains, but alcohol is put into tho fruit juices used to make the beverages to preservo them. It is thought to be absolutely necessary by tho manufacturers of such juices that a small amount of alcohol be added as a preservative, and no tem perance advocate has ever complained about it. When tho internal rovenuo office found out that alcohol was used in these juices, however, a letter was isflued to collectors of internal reve nue informing them that druggists dealing in fruit juices in which alco hol is used as a preservative must take out a United States license at an expense of $25. The druggists who were affected in various parts of the country did not think much about this at first because the expense wns small. But later tho druggists found out that after taking out a license of this oharaotor they must display it conspicuously in their places of business, and when this in formation reached thom tho protests against license ruling began to come in from many cites and towns where liquor licenses of any kind are not tolerated. There was more trouble in store, however, for the druggists doing business in towns where there is a regular liquor license. These mon discovered that if they were to tako out a government license for the sale of liquor they would bo obliged to turn around and take out a local lioense also, which would cost them anywhere from $500 to $1,600 per year, according to the license rates of the different places, and, in addi tion, would plaoe thera squarely upon a saloon basis, all for lue sake of selling a few glasses of soda in tho summer. It is understood that tho manufacturers of tho fruit juices sold at soda fountains will come to the resoue before the soda water sea son arrives and place upon the mar ket juices that contain not even a trace of alcohol.-Washington Post.
