He began witli tho prayer that peace and prosperity might prevail ; that tho differences among the people might be composed,; that the spirit of factionalism might bo allayed, and in his last message to the General Assembly ho expresses gratification that ho has "in any measure con tributed to tho unification of senti ment among our people and the wip ing out of factional lines." He has succeeded far beyond general public expectation in the administration of his office. Thore are some things for which ho may be criticised ; there aro still moro things for which ho deserves to be praised. The balance in his case is on the right side. In his last messago to the Legislature he makes a number of recommenda tions, briefly stated as follows : 1. A compliance with the olear mandate of tho Constitution that "all taxes upon property, real and personal, shall bo laid upon tho actual valuo of tho property taxed"-not 50 per cent of its actual valuo, nor 60 per cont, nor yet 80 per cent, as is the case now in some parts of the State ; but upon the actual value. 2. A general system of road im provement to bo paid for by a property tax, to be lovied on all tax able property, whether situated in town or country. 3. The enactment of a compulsory education law. 4. State aid to the oublie schools and such an appropriation as will "brine; up the deficient schools to a minimum standard"-tho appropria tion not lo be less than tho aggregate amount appropriated for the support of the State colleges. 5. Tho creation of County Boards of Education and tho employment of expert Superintendents of Edu cation, in accordance with tho recom mendation of the State Superintend ent, so that a business in which thc State invests nearly a million dollars every year Bhall not bo without capa ble business supervision. 6. The establishment of Home Schools for Girls and Farm Schools for Boys in such counties as shall, by special Act of the L?gislature} vote upon themselves a tax not exceeding two mills for the support of such schools. 7. The continued favor of the General Assembly towards thc seve ral Sttito colleges. 8. The passage of a law prohibit ing the employment of children in the cotton mills of the State. 9. The building of a new bouse for the Governor, the present Executive Mansion being utterly inadequate. 10. An increase in the number of judicial circuits in tho State, instead of making any further attempt to relieve legal congestion by tho expe dient of ordering special courts. 11. Tho imposition of a tax of 2 per cont on all outside insurance companies doing business in the State on the gross premiums collected in the State, instead of tho taxes now required of these companies, and tho payment by each agent or represen tative of an insuranco company solic iting insurance in tho State of a small sum for a license to do busi ness. In 1901 these companies col lected from the people of tho State $2,800,789.47, and paid back in losses for the same time $1,337,648.81. Tho companies realized on tho year's business in this Stale $1,463,140.66. 12. Tho cure of certain growing evils of tho pension system adopted by tho State for tho relief of old Confederate soldiers, by having tho executivo officers of tho Camps of United Confederate Veterans in each county act as tho county pension board, or having tho survivors to elect the members of the pension boards. Last year tho State paid ?200,000 to indigent Confederate Veterans, four times the amount first appropriated for this purpose three or four years ago, and tho Comp troller General reported that there aro now 7,750 names on tho pension rolls of tho State. It is a growing ovil against which tho Governor would have the Legislature provide. 13. Ample provision for the sup port of tho State militia, upon the strength of which "rests at last thc safety of our structure of civil gov ernment." 14. The creation of the office of Stalo Bacteriologist, so that tho work of tho State Board of Health may bo moro effectivo and tho health of the people protoeted and pro moted. 15. Provision for tho publication of tho invaluable historical records of the State at Columbia which aro inaccessible in their present condi tion to those who would consult them. IO. The establishment of a bureau of immigration for the purpose of keeping the resources of the Slate steadily and intelligently before the investment and home-seeking world. The Governor supports all his recommendations with some very reasonable argument or suggestion. They are all of a praetioal nature and ought to be considered by the Legislature on their merits. There is nothing in the message to excite any animosities or to revive tho recollections of a recent unhappy past. The members of the Legisla ture are reminded that "government should attempt to do no more than to proteot persons and property and enforce contraots voluntarily made." and that "the least governed are the best governed." It is hoped that the Senators and Representatives will keep this true philosophy steadily in mind. As the Govornor says very wisely, "If all men would refrain from interfering with the rights of others or of molesting them, govern ment would not be necessary." Governor McSweency will retire from office with a good record be hind him. Ho has done his bost for tho State. He could wish for no higher praise than that.-News and Courier, January 14th. -- Among the Methodists. Dr. J. W. Daniel preaohod for the first time in tho new Trinity church, Charleston, last Sunday.

Cured At 70 of Heart Dis ease Contracted During Civil War Veteran Grateful. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Effected Cure. Heart disease is curable, but in people of advanced age it does not readily lend itself to ordinary treatment. There is, however, hope for all sufferers in Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which we know from watching hun dreds of cases and fi om the letters of grateful Bufferers, will cure where all else has failed. It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and diseased heart;, hut it is a blood tonic, a reg ulator of the heart's actiori and the most effective treatment ever formulated for im proving the circulation of the blood. "During the Civil war I contracted heart disease, and in 1896, while living in the grand old town of Lexington. Va., I grew so much worse, I left there with my wife to visit my sister-in-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirby, at Roanoke, Va. While I said nothing to anyone I never expected to live to return to the dear old town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted I should try Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. I pro cured a few bottles of it, ?lo the Nervine and Tonic. After using one or two bottles, I could see no improvement, and I despaired of ever being better, but ray faithful wife in sisted on keeping it up, which I did. Im provement soon began in earnest and I took in all fifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re stored to perfect health and while I am 70 years old. I am comparatively a boy. You sir, are a benefactor, and I cheerfully recom mend Dr. Miles' Heart Cure to suffering humanity."-J. L. SLAUGHTER, Salem, Va.

Higher Rates for Freight. Chicago, January 8.-Freight rates on nearly all commodities transported by Western railroads are to bo raised in tho noxt thirty days, and if tho seato at present contemplated goes into offect the rovenuos of the roads will bo increased during 1003 by at least $100,000,000. Tho first step toward this advanco was takon at a meeting of Western oxecutivo officials yesterday. Thoro waa no dis senting voice to tho sentiment that freight should bo raised to moot tho in creased cost of labor and of materials. The rates will ho at least 5 per cent highor in all commodity tariffs.

I TALKING A< S OCEAN. j& ESws Without the aid of a cable, tele graphic message? have been Beut aoroas the Atlantic. The news, "not unexpected by soientifio eleotrioiana, striken the ordinary man with won der. As usual, there were predic tions that the attempt munt fail, and soientifio reasons were givon why it would prove impossible to communi cate through eighteen hundred miles of space ; but on Deoember 22, the announcement was made by Signor Maroon), that he had sent to King Edward of England and King Vic tor Emmanuel of Italy, messages of congratulation, and had received an swers. An achievement so momen tous marks a new era in telegraphy. It opens a boundless field, of further discovery and will probably be tho precursor of unimagined triumphs. The messages were sent from Table Head, Cape Breton, to Poldhu, Corn wall, the most westerly point of England. At tho former place Sig nor Mereeni ocoupies a station built expressly for his use at a cost of $200,000. It consists of four wooden pillars 225 feet high, which havo been ereoted on thu bluff, itself seventy-five feet above the level of the sea. The pillars stand at the corners of a square, in the center of which is the operating room. The towers are connected near the top by wires, from which hang a large number of copper wires, the ends of which enter the operating room. In this room is a transmitter of tremen dous power and a receiver of exceed ingly delicate capacity. There is no other instrument nor any - apparent connection between the operator and the person he is talking to eighteen hundred miles away. Yet there is no doubt as to tho fact, for the mes sage to the King of Italy was sent by an operator who did not know tho 11 al ian language and was received in England by a clerk also unac quainted with it, yet every lotter was absolutely correct. The beginning of tho experiments, which have now bad so triumphant an outcome, was made in 1895, on a farm near Bologna, Italy. William Marconi, then a youth barely twenty years of age, Bet up two poles eighty inches high and 100 feet apart. On the top of each pole he placed a tin box, from which a wiro ran to an ordinary telegraph instrument at tho foot of tho pole. There waa no wire from one pole to the other, but sig nals made at one pole were received at the other. This was the key to tho great discovery. It was o! vious that the electric current could travel, at least for a short distance, without the wire wo had deemed essential for its journey. Tho next step was to d'tBcover the conditions by which that ' distance could be increased. Mar coni doubled the length of his poles and placed them farther apart. They were shifted as far as the signals were received, until he found that 340 feet was the distance that they would travel from poles thirteen feet four inches high. The principio was thus established, that, under ordinary conditions, tho higher the pole the lougtr tho distance electricity would travel without a wire for its convey ance. With this discovery Signor Mar coni went to England to seoure aid in its development. Experiments were made with balloons and kites, which, while not producing practical results, proved the soundness of his deductions, and established the prin ciple of tho distance being depend ent on the height of the transmit ting and receiving stations. They also showed that the distance in the higher altitudes was much greater in proportion than in the lower. The distance iucreased not according to the increase of tho height of tho pole, but according to tho square of the height of the pole. Thus, doubling tho height of the pole, increased the distance four times, and by treb ling its height iucreased the distance nine times. It waB also South Carolina's Address to Dispensers.

Marconi Discovered His Wonder ?yatam of Wireless Telegraphy. found that hills or buildings inter vening, proved no obstacles to th? current. . In one experiment there was a hill between the two masts 814 feet higher than they, yet the signals were as distinct as if nothing inter posed. The work of experimenting went on and new discoveries were made. Various improvements in the i nair l? mente rendered it possible to increase the distance without increase in the height of the masts. Copper re flectors were found to be important aids in direoting the course of the ourrent for short distances, and finally the operation known as "tun ing" was discovered, which is an im portant part of the Marooni system. This consists in adjusting the power of the reoeiver to that of the trans mitter, which may be done to an unlimited extent as is done with the i Yale look and key. To suoh an extent has this system been per fected that, though when a ourrent is started it may spresd in oircles to every poiut of the compass*, no re oeiver is affcoted but the one attuned to the key of the transmitter. How ever numerous may be the reoeivers scattered over intervening space, there is only one that reoeives the message, unless others have been attuned to that particular key. Since 1899, when the Marconi sys tem received general recognition, the uses to which it has been put have multiplied. Its ohiof value has been found in its use on steamers. By a wire suspended from the mast of a ship and connected with an instru ment ou deck, messages aro reoeived from tho shore for hundreds of miles. Passing ships communicate with one another. During the voyag? of two vessels of the Cunard Line last week, the vessel proceeding to England was in communication for two days in mid-ocean with tho vessel com ing to Now York. Messages were exohanged freely, though the vessels were never in sight of one another. It would thus be possible for a ves sel in distress, if equipped with the I Marconi apparatus, to oall upon other vessels for help though none were visible. The approach of ships may also be announced long before they can be seen. This has been practi cally proved by the enterprise of the New York Herald, which has equipped a vessel stationed off Nan tucket with the Marconi apparatus. It receives reports from incoming vessels and sends them by wire to New York. Tho principle on which the Mar ooni system is based, is that commu nication proceeds from waves in that mysterious ether, whioh is believed to fill all space. Very little is known about this strange substance, whioh is so rarified, so imperceptible that it passes conception. Its waves, however, bring us light and sound, and may have other uses-not yet dis covered. As a stone cast into a pond produoes ripples that reach its edge, so the eleotrio force projected into the ethor produces waves that, when regulated and controlled, pro duce signals. Signor Marconi does not attempt to explain these waves, but is oontent with learning what they will do and will not do. The discoverer is an exceedingly modest, unassuming man, intensely interested in his study, patient iu in vestigation, oaroful in experiment, and praotical beyond the usual char acteristics of discoverers. He is the the son of an Italian father and a British mother, and speaks the lan guage of eaoh fluently. Ho is slightly above middle height, and has the blue eyes and light hair of his mother's race, though he is careful to preserve his Italian nationality. Ile is only twenty-seven years of age, and until he was twenty-one had made his home in Italy with his parents, who aro both living, and to whom he sent a message of congratu lation after those transmitted to the two monarchs.-Christian Herald. monoy, for it ia a paying trado, and en courage all to buy and sell, and close four eyes.

Two equal duties rest on the farmers of this State. One is to preservo the forests, and the other is to renovate the worn-out lands. The indiscriminate and wasteful destruction of timber, the clearing of hill-sides and the shallow cultivation has brought about the impoverish ment of the uplands, tho filling of the streams with sand and the dete rioration of bottom lands. On the east side of Broad river from Colum bia to Lockhart Shoals the bottom I lands do not produoe one-fourth as | much as they did fifty years ego. A similar condition prevails on all thu streams of the State. Where 30 to 40 bushels of corn were for? merly produced on one acre, now several foot of sand, gravel and day j from the hill-sides have been wa hed on the rioh alluvial soil. The hills are furrowed with deep gullies and even much of the rolling and level land soarcely pays for the cultivation of the crops. PRESERVE TUB VOBBSTS. Man, having brought about this condition, should seek to restore the soil to its original fertility. Let no hill-sides be cleared. By hill-sides we mean land that has a pitch of 20 degrees or more. If timber is out on such land leave the brush and small growth. If hill-sides are bare of timber plant briers and plum bushes so that they may hold the | land together and fill up the gullies. Get Bermuda grass started on such places. But never attempt to culti vate such land. Plant the black locust, walnut and any other trees that will grow. Nature, whioh is wiser than man, has taught us that broom sedge, briers and old field pines are great renovators of soil. They stop the washing, fill up the I gullies and soon render the soil fer-1 tile enough for field orops. RENOVATE THB OLD FIELDS. Years have been required to weat out the uplands of the State. That which has required so much time to destroy cannot be restored in a-day. The level and rolling lands, not sub ject to washing except when a water j spout comes, and whioh produoe with the aid of a little fertilizer about ten bushels of corn or 600 pounds of cotton,to the acre, will require tevo-] ral years to be brought into good condition. Restoring such lands and keeping them up is the problem for the farmers of the State. A former citizen of this State who has been in Texas fourteen years, on his return a ] few days ago, says that the naked condition of the country strikes him. | The timber has been out down and there are no crops growing and the country is drawn up or shrunk, as he expresses it. The duty of farmers is to expand it make it look more like there was life in the old land. That can be done by plowing deeper gradually until the soil is 8 to 14 inches deep and the incorporation of pea vines and stubble with the soil. In that way the phosphoric aoid and potash now very abundant in the day will be rendered available and these | barren old fields will be made to re joico with full crops. There is a great future for the farmers of this State if they will only seize their opportunities and make a free use of brains and muscle.-Spartanburg Spartan.
