Since tho war Mr. Peabody has givon millions for the oduoation of tho youth of the South, without regard to race or color. Mr. Slater gave a million or more for tho oducatiou of the oolored youth. Then comes the "Ogden Movement" with a very largo sum for both raoes, as wo undorstand it. But, so far as we know, none of these funds aro given directly for the oduoation of tho people. They have boen usod for educating teachers, etc., and for putting oduoation on its foot gonorally. The "Ogdon Movomeut," or fund, has not, on all occa sions, given unanimous satisfaction. Wo notice that Bev. Mr. pell, President of Converso College, favors it and Prof. Morrison, of Clemson College, looks upon it with suspioion. We presume our friend, MisBShelor, can explain this matter to tho satisfaction of all. Tho press, as usual, favors education all along tho linel Tho State assorts that tho Blogan should be "improved roads, improved lands, improvod schools." That tho most important is "improvod sohools," and that these ovontually will bring us "improvod lands" and "improved roads." Those th roo issues aro important to our wol faro, nnd should rocolvo our earnest sup port. Wo may have to go slow, but wo must got thero all the same. Kecontly somo discussion has arisen in regard to using tho dispensary tax in aid of education. Excited porBons call this tax "blood money," and say thoy will have none of it. Undor tho law, as it now exists, "local option" may con trol. Tho voters can voto the dispensary out or in, as tho caso may bo, and we favor this disposition of the matter. In our opinion tho di spun sa ry system is bot ter for tho Stato at largo than bar rooms. Prohibition is tho end of tho law, but it cannot always bo enforced. Your neighbors at Westminster aro get ting along nicely with prohibition, and thoy havo our best wishes for their futuro prosperity and happiness.

Fina Showing Mad? at the Sovereign Grand Lodge-An Orphanage Plan Suggested. ? The animal convention of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel lows met in Baltimore last week. Over 26,000 representatives of tho order were in attendance. The annual report of Grand Sire and Commander-in-Chief John B. Goodwin, of Atlanta, which was read, shows the order to be in a flourishing condition. The total membership of the order? whioh inoludes tbo subordinate lodge membership and tho sisters only of the Rebekah lodge membership, is 1,329,056. The total revenues of the order in 1902 were $11,558,905, of whiob $3,898,220 were expended in relief. At a meeting of the Patriarchs Militant a resolution waa adopted to permit the militant branch of the order to reoruit its forces from sub ordinate lodges. Gen. M. A. Haney, of Marengo, Iowa, was elcoted Commanding General of the Patriarchs Militant for a term of four years. The grand parade of the Sover eign Grand Lodge on Wednesday afternoon was witnessed by vast crowds of people. It is estimated that 8,000 Odd Fellows were in li??o. The meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge next year will be held in San Franciso. The Odd Fellows' Orphanage. The committee appointed by tho Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of South Carolina, which met in Colum bia last May, to seleot a site for the Odd Follows' orphanage, han held in formal meetings and members of the committee have visited several towns, but without reaching any definite re sult except to make it known that I thc orphanage will be located in tho j town making the best offer. So far as we can ascertain there is only a limited amount of enthusiasm with reference to this proposition in any j of tho towns making bids for the orphanage, and it would be well to | consider tho suggestion of Rev. W. P. Jacobs, which oarries with it all that is necessary for the Odd Fel lows or any other fraternal organiza tion. Ile suggested that a building be erected by the fraternity on the grounds of the orphanage either at Columbia, Greenwood or Clinton, in which would be received the orphans | of deceased members under the usual restrictions, and thus save a large expenditure in the object aimed at, while ample provision would be made for all needy orphans. Such a build ing w?uld bo indicative of their inter est in this kind of work, and center the bonevolenco of the order fully as | well as a large plant. .STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, I LUCAS COUNTV, J 8 Frank J.

Our facetious contemporary, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, frankly admits its pecuniary interest in the business of liquor selling as conducted by the State of South Carolina, and thus makes r. report of recent purchases to supply the dear j people with a chemically pure intoxi cant in tho most approved styles : Of course wo should keep posted as to how our business is getting along, so wo will state for the benefit of our South Carolina readers that onr representativos, tho dispensary board, have just made their quar terly purchases. They bought 4,850 barrels of liquors. From one firm they bought 1,800 barrels. In tho list are two names side by sido, from ono thoy bought 520 barrels] and from tho other three barrels. The lattor must not have been pre pared to make a good showing. He will likely know hereafter that we cannot buy his liquor if ho does not make a good showing. They also bought 9,700 cases of liquors of all kinds and ton carloads of beer. It is expected that the above will be enough to go around for awhile. In order that it might be fixed conven iently for carrying they bought six oar loads of one-gallon demijohns | and that none of it might spill out they bought 2,000 ponnds of tin foil and about a quarter of a million corks. ' With high priced cotton business is expected to be very fine. If you and your soof; do not drink it is not our fault-we have put it here for you. Doctors Could Not Help Her.

A man who had risen from ex tremo poverty to make for himself a great name as a scholar, was one day talking with a friend of his early struggles. "While still a young boy," said he, "1 was forced to give up school. This was a severe trial to me, as 1 had been eager to learn. As I grew somewhat older, there mingled with my regret a distinot sense of injury. It seemed to me nothing short of in justice that others, who, perhaps cared much less for knowledge than I, should enjoy the advantages whioh were denied me. "I went, one evening, after a hard day's work, to attend a prize oratori cal content between students of our j village academy. The various speak ers acquitted themselves excellently well, and one, later announced to be the prize winner, elioited enthusi astic applause. "An envious spirit took possession of me as I listened. While the cheers were still ringing through the hall, an old gentleman who sat next me, and whom I knew very well, turned to me with a glowing face. "Fine boy that 1" said he. "He'll make his mark in the world ?" "Bitter words sprang involuntarily to my lips. "'It's easy enough-for him!' I whispered hoarsely. '1 might have done something, too, but I have no chance !' "I Bhall never forget tho look of i the keen eyes under the shaggy brows, which the old man fixed upon me for a moment. " 'No chance ?' he repeated. 'No ohance ? You have a fighting chance at least 1 Are you a coward ?' "The words seemed to smite mo through and through. AU my re sentment melted away. Through the rOmainder of the evening I sat almost as in a dream, saying to my self over and over; 'A fighting] ohance! I am no coward-I will win P "From that time I began to study by myself. No miser ever counted his gold more carefully than I the minutes that I could save from my daily tasks. Pennies earned after hours were hoarded to buy text books, which I pored over at night. My determination grew with obsta cles. All that was in me of strength of mind or body, was brought to the issue of the endeavor. Whatever have been able to achieve throughout my life, I owe to tho man who re vealed to me in a single caustic sen tence, that opportunity is by no | means synonymous with ease, and that not to avail ono's solf of the 'fighting chauce' for any worthy vic tory, in to be guilty of cowardice. "Tho great man's experience is by no means a peculiar ono. If oppor- j tunity be an open door, it is moro likely than not a guarded ono which it will require fixed purposo and bravo persevering effort to enter. Professor Austin Phelps has well written : 'Vigilance in watching op portunity ; taot and daring in seizing j upon opportunity ; force and per sistenco in crowding opportunity to its utmost-these are the martial virtues which must command suc cess.' "This is true, not simply in relation to what we call 'getting on in life,' whether it be in the line of honora ble business, the making of worthy fame, or the acquisition of large knowledge and influence It applies equally to the formation of personal character. One says, *I should Uko to be good, but I ara handicapped hy a violent temper. I have no chance.' Another complains, 'I know the temparate life to bo tho right one, but I havo como into thc world o urned by a hereditary taste for ?liink. Even the smell of liquor sets my vains on fire. I have no chance.' A third assorts, 'My cir cumstances aro such that I cannot cheese my associations. I am sur rounded by temptations. Everything conspires to drag me down. I have no chance.' "Ah 1 tempted and tried ones, you havo each and ali the 'fighting chance.' And, bettor still, in every worthy conflict, you need not strug gle alone Do you remember how tho Lord touohod tho eyes of the prophet's servant, as the two paased through hostile Samaria, revealing the whole mountain full of horses and chariot of fire round about? Avail yourself through faith of the invinoible forces. So shall you come off conqueror and more than con queror through Him who hath loved you."

COLONY OF FRENCH PEOPLE Select Location Near Summerville, on the Southern Railway? Press mention has been made from time to time regarding tbe efforts of the Southern Railway Company to induce Frenoh Canadians to locate in a colony at some available point in the South. A large and free tract of arable and timber land, well watered, and susceptible of orop production, fruit culture, dairy and stook farming, etc., near Summer ville, S. C., twenty-four miles north west from Charleston, was the prop erty finally selected as a point of beginning. The land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway visited these people in their New England home towns on several oocasionB, and ad dressed large meetings of -them, gathered for the purpose of hearing his exposition of the Southern con ditions and opportunities. In July last a large delegation of these peo ple visited South Caroliua and were afforded every means of informing themselves by personal investigation and inquiry, as to the real induce ments to be found in the historio and hospitable region of old Charles ton. Other places, too, were shown to the delegation ; but so extensive a tract of land, peculiarly well situated and adapted to colony purposes ap pealed very strongly to them, and they returned to the North with im pressions most favorable. Several meetings have sinco been held in New England, and many Frenoh Canadian farmers, business men and expert artisans have sig nified their intention or their hope of locating in the South. A Catho lic church, to be presided over by a most estimable and indefatigable rector; a parochial school, super vised by ihe rector and his assistants ; a store for tho convenience of the colony, and various structural fea tures, will in due time rise upon land vaoant and unpopulated, but waiting only upon just such an 6nterpriso as the Southern Railway representativos have long sinco contemplated. The people who are to make their homes on the broad aores thus held in reserve are practical -, st irdy and worthy, not only as a class, but indi vidually. They deserve the kind in terest of all our people, and without doubt they will prove themselves val uable oitizons and desirable neigh bors. An advance party of these homo seekers left Washington on Septem ber 17. They will bc followed from time to timo by other parties or families, and as they arrive at Sum merville they will proceed to erect their homes and clear up, plant and stock their.farms. With theadvont of spring it is bolicved that quite a settlement will have been formed, and it is not improbable that it will rapidly grow and expand into a ham let and a populous surrounding com munity of progressive and prosper ous farmers. Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs. "Several years sinno my lungs were so badly affected that I had m?ny hemor rhages," writes A. M. Ako, of Wood, Ind. "I took treatment with several physicians without any bonofit. I thon st ai l cd to take Foloy'? Honea and Tar and my lungs aro now as sound as a bul let. I recommend it in advanood stages of lung trouble. For salo by J. W. Boll. Tho question as to tho propriety of physicians advertising in the newspapers came np before the meet ing of the Virginia Medical Socioty at Roanoke, Va., the past woek. The society oloarly defined its posi tion by the declaration that in the future physicians may place business cards and advertiaernents of private hospitals in newspapers. In Char lotte it does violcnco to professional ethics for a newspaper reporter to even mention a doctor's name in con nection with a caso, no matter of what importance it may be.-Char lotto Observer. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon tua mind, dis courages ai.d lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it ls not uncommon for a child to be born 3? afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when lt should be able to control the passage, lt ls yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.
