To want the question agitated right here our midst, and the Intelligencer rill give its space freely to a discussion it ?be subject Some one has truly said: fThere in nothing in this country upon rlilch ao< much money is expended, ,'hore there is such an exhibition of j uoranco. lack of system and looseness expenditure, as there is in the repair |>f country roads-." The present custom 'patchwork must give way to a more Practical and thorough system of road working. A good road syetem is the leans ot' facilitating intercourse, and intercommunication is the backbone of | business. Good public roads aro :he Mime necessities of civilized life and itional prosperity. A country without )od roads will remain undeveloped, its ! jtfdden treasures stored away. The effect if good public roads upon land value is ( to increase the value of such lands, and where poor roads prevail everything else is very apt to be poor. If two horses haul the load of four, one wagon haul the load, of two, one set of harness haul the load of two, one driver serve for two and six miles instead of three be made per hour, the aggregate saving would greatly increase the net income of the average farmer. This desideratum can only be accomplished by the means of good pub? lic roads. The compliment paid Hon. Wade Hampton by his old colleagues in the United States Senate by voluntarily and almost unanimously petitioning Presi? dent Cleveland for his appointment as Railroad Commissioner, is a high testi? monial of the regard in which he is held by those who had the best opportunities of knowing his work and worth. We are more than pleased to see the old chief thus honored by the nation. The petition was signed by all of the Senators, of both parties, except Mr. Irby. We are glad that the State authorities have finally succeeded in placing the en? tire issue of the State refund men t bond?, amounting to 85,250,000. The Baltimore Trust Company take the entire issue and received for its services $150,000. While we think this sum is a very large fee to pay for the service, yet we are satisfied, for it settles the State debt question for the next fifty years. Had Governor Till man never made his false charges against former administrations, this debt could have been refunded no doubt without any cost whatever to the taxpayers and perhaps at an annual interest of 4 per cent President Cleveland's first executive communication to the Senate of the Uni? ted States proved to be a surprise not only to Republicans, but to many Democrats as well. In the communication President Cleveland withdrew the treaty with Ha? waii, which was sent to the Senate a few weeks ago by Mr. Harrison. The mes? sage was short and to the point, the Pres? ident simply requesting the Senate to transmit to the executive the proposed treaty with Hawaii. It is understood that the reason for the withdrawal of the treaty by President Cleveland is because he is opposed to the treaty In its present form. Whether or not he will favor the making of another treaty, and whether it will be an annexation treaty or not can? not be said on authority at this time, but a gentleman who has talked with the President on the subject said this after? noon that another treaty wonld be made. It is intimated that the President will suggest either by message or personally to Senators that a com mission be appoint? ed to visit the Hawaiian Islands, during the interval between the adjournment of the special session of the Senate and the reconvening of the next Congress. VUXACI3 FARMS. Governor Northern and Professor H. C. White, of the State University, are very much interested in building up Georgia by the establishment of village farms. The people ic. the country are coming to town at a rapid rate in order to get educational and religions advantages, and in order to be protected from lawless men. On this account the country is being depopulated and the towns are being built up. Governor Northern and Professor-White have long advocated the settlement of numerous families in one community near to each o:,her?each hav? ing a small farm to cultivate. Professor White read a paper on this subject to the members of the Stale Agricultural society at its recent meeting i;i Augusta, and at [ its close Governor Northern endorsed it in an able speech. Of this speech the Augusta New.*, has this to ray: At the conclusion of i he address of President Henry C. White of the State Agricultural College, before the State Agricultural Society in tbxs city. Gover? nor Northern delivered some straight and strong talk to the farmers of Georgia. After pronouncing Dr. "White's address the most important and timely he had ever heard on the subject, oar farmer Governor indorsed it entirely and asked the farrr ers what they were going to do about it He told them to keep on as at present and their farms would be depop? ulated and desolated. He told them to take the advice given them, to accept the solution of their troubles now otiered, and they would soon become both inde? pendent and happy. Governor Northern impressed the far? mers with the fact that the secret of suc? cess and happiness on the farm and the solution of the great problem of the conn try were both offered by the plan pro? posed by the thoughtful seien List and the observing president of the Agricultural College. He seconded the advice to divide up the big plantations, to inaugu? rate the plan of village farming or com? munal life, which, as Dr. White aptly remarked, is followed with success the world over, except in the wilds of Africa, on the barren steppes of Russia and. strange to say, in that most fertile soil and blessed climate, the Sunny South. Governor Northern not only indorsed Dr. White's plan of village larming, but he emphasized it with strongillust.rations. He gave his experience with a Chicago syndicate that is now trying to secure thousands of acres in Georgia for a simi? lar purpose, and told of a friend who was now turning a 7,000-acre plantation into village far ma Why should not the Ag? ricultural Society members do the same ? Governor Northern asked this question in all earnestness and with telling force. He declared that many members owned thousands of acres, some ten thousand, and bade them go home and adapt their lands to the new conditions and to the demands of the times. The strong talk of the Governor of j Georgia was worth as much as a year's salary in the red chair of State. It pro? duced a profound impresnion, and will have a practical effect among Georgia farmers. If our land owners will ?top and think they will see that they are ruining their fortunes and bringing their dissatisfied families up in ignorance and unhappi ness under the present uystem on the farm. If they are wise, and want to be successful and happy, they will about face, follow the plan proposed by Dr. White and so strongly indorsed by Gov? ernor Northern. A MAGIC SEED The latest number of the Baltimore Manufacturing Record contains a letter from Mr. C. B. Warrand, of Savannah, Ga., in which the very interesting infor? mation is stated that there is in opera? tion in tL_fc city a truly unique manu? facturing establishment, it being the only one of its kind in the world, "whose cot? ton seed oil is manufactured by a secret process into rubber, not a substitute for rubber, but bona fide rubber; such at least some of the best experts having pronounced the product to be." The Charleston News and Courier says it is not a hoax. The 1st of April is more than a fortnight off, as yet. This story is told in gcod faith, and with full particu? lars by Mr. Warrand, who is, we believe, a chemist and a citizen of Savannah, and is a well known writer on industrial top? ics. The discovery of the artificial rubber, he says, was made by an artist of some prominence who was experimenting with cotton seed oil to produce a varnish for art paintings, and who, as has so often happened in such cases, stumbled on a product entirely foreign to his expecta-' tions. The discoverer states thai his pro? cess is 80 simple tb at it is not pa ten table, hence his only safeguard is in keeping it a secret. The only information he gives is that ho uses 15 per cent, of genuine rubber to produce an article which can? not in any way be distinguished from crude India rnbber. As soon as his discovery was made he went at once to Boston, where a number of experts pronounced the product genu? ine rubber, and w >uld not beliove that Bach ah article could be produced by ar- { tificial means. A prominent rubber manufacturer recognized at once the val? ue of the discovery, purchased an inter? est in the process, aud placed $30,000 in the hands of the discoverer to establish a factory near Savanntih. A sito of live acres was purchased li.a? miles Irouj the city; a high board fence was erected around the property, aud the factory was built in the enclosure and has been run? ning for months. Nobody knows what is going on inside the factory except a few ignorant negroes; and nobody is admitted within its doors. The baie facts alone aro known that crude cotton seed oil, costing about 50 cents a gallon, or about $135 a ton, is carted in, in five ton lots, and that tons of rubber, worth about 82,000 a ton, are carted out and shipped to a very promi? nent rubber dealer and manufacturer in Boston. The value of the new industry to its discoverer and his associates is indicated by the figures we have just given. It is cot easy to over estimate its value to the ?fiouth and to the w orld. The uses of rub? ber are increasing eveiy year, and the demand for the article is taxing the natu? ral supply already. If the artificial pro duet can be successfully employed for all or most of the purposes to which the natu? ral product is applied, or would be ap? plied if its cost were cheapened, there will soon be a market for all of it that can be made in the South, and the cotton farmers will be directly and greatly ben? efited by the increased value of the raw material, cotton seed oil, which they must supply. It has been predicted that the seed of the cotton plant will some day represent ' a larger value than the lint, and that it may yet come to pass that the crop will be planted mainly for the profit in the seed. It really begins to appear as if the predic? tion, wild as it seemed at first, will yet be verified. A berry or nut?or whatever it is?that furnishes at once a wholesome table and cooking oil, the- best kind of food for all cattle, a sugar fifteen times sweeter than cane sugar, a rich fertilizing agent, and material for the making of such varied articles of usefulness as Ala? bama strings, erasers, galoshes, gum boots, bicycle and buggy tires, hospital beds, soldiers' overcoats, ladies' wraps j and car buffers and springs, has a future before it that it would be vain to attempt to outline or to limit. Spoiled Children. Messrs Editors: Please allow me space In your valuable paper to insert a few words that I hope will sink deep into the minds of every one that chances to see them. ? It is a subject that is worthy of every Earent's deepest attention. In many omes there are ohildren who are contin? ually bringing some kind of unnecessary trouble upon the family, either by omis? sion or com msision of some of the par6?tal laws. A child may indulge in disobedi? ence without the disapproval of its pa? rents until it will become what we term a spoiled child, which is very undesirable. Yes, one of the moat detested nuisances of human nature is a spoiled child. Some may ask why that child is spoiled so badly ? That has become very plain to me of late and will just give a short ex? planation rignt here. In the first place, the parents of the child have been too alack with thoir fami? ly discipline. They cannot bear to reprove their little darling of anything it may docontrary to discipline, thereby leaving an opening wherein the child will be pleased to do the very same act of disobedience without even thinking it unlawful. By and by it will become the door of some other great wrong, which, if notcheoked,in due time will lead to an awful end. After indulging in disobedience for a time the child will form an idea in its little head that whatever it pleases to do the parents will approve of, and by the time it reaches the age of "sweet sixteen" it will consider itself "first boss of the house." Nothing is better at this period than a genuine solid "hickory coating" of one color. It may go against the "grain." but it certainly is the best way in which to reform it. "Spare the rod and spoil the child," was an utterance of the wisest man that ever lived. In a great many instances the older ohildren are more or less responsible for the actions of the younger ones, but the real headquarter of this defect may be traced back to the loose laws of the pa? rents. In many instances the child that is allowed its own way without any moles? tation will shorten the days of both the parents and itself. Such a child is hurrying on to the {?eniteutiary or -perhaps the galiows. If t succeeds in eluding both of these there is a place it will not escape, made for the purpose of tormenting disobedient ones. A parent that really desires a happy home can certainly have one if he will never go back on his word. Be firm in everything and your children will make you happy. Then let us love one another, And obey when we are told ; Ob! how happy we'll be together In one unbroken fold. Juggling with the Judges. Columbia, March 8.?A very interest? ing political rumor came out yesterday in reference to the Judgesbip in the Gib judicial district. It is stated as a rumor, but what is given in connection with it are facts. It is well known that all of the Judges who are not on the "right side" are s'ated for decapitation and in keeping with this scheme, and expecting It to be carried out, candidates are already beginning to appear. In Judge Witber spoon's district he will have as opponent, Assistant Attorney General Buchanan, and it is thought that Senator D. E. Fin ley, of York, will enter the contest. Heretofore Senator Finley has expressed himself as being in favor of Judge With erspoon's election, but according to a well informed source the Senator will be a candidate himself. Assistant Attorney General Buchanan is undoubtedly a young man well versed in the law, and it is said that his chances are good, conceding the fact, as rumored) that Judge Witherspoon will have no chance of election before the Legislature. Mr. Buchanan was a candidate for the solicitorship in the same circuit last fall, bnt his faction was divided and be ; ailed of election. Since that time he has been the assistant Attorney General, and has done a large part of the work of that office in'connection with bis chief, and gave material assistance in making up the briefs for the United States Supreme Court. He is a nephew by marriage of Governor Tlllman. Senator Finley is a lawyer of great rep? utation in York County and is considered to be a young man of large learning and excellent character. If it should be de? cided by the powers that be that Judge Witherspoon should not be elected again the contest will be between these two young men. There is a lot of quiet work be? ing done for each, but so far as has been positively ascertained Mr. Buchanan has a majority of the Bar of the circuit on his side. It must not be supposed that Judge Witherspoon will be shelved without a fight, for he has many friends in the Legislature, but the above facts ore givon as being the situation so far as it appears to be settled among politicians in Colum? bia. In the same connection it mav be stated that Attorney General Townsend is a candidate for" Judge Wallace's position, and those who are on the "insido" state that his election is sure. Assistant At? torney General Buchanan would natur? ally succeed him, but, being a candidate for Judge, he would not aocept the place, and that would leave an interesting fight for the Attorney Generalship. It was learned from a pretty good source that Congressman McLauriu would be a candidate for the Associate Justiceship in place of Judge McGowan. It has been an open political secret that Speaker Jones had been booked for this j place and had his titles clear, but the I advent of "Curly-headed Johnnie" in the arena adds additional interest to the fight. The Congressman's friends in Columbia admit that his chances for re? election to Congress are slim indeed, for he has been openly accused of having used sharp methods to obtain the nomi? nation against the Hon. W. D. Evans. In consequence of this the Hon. J. T. McLaureu's scalp seems fated to hang on the belt of a rival, either Mr. W. D. Evans or Mr. Norton, chief clerk of the Comptroller General's office. Those ru? mors have been surmised before, but it seems that they have not been openly talked about, all of which may be the result of the dickering for office in Wash? ington. As Cleveland hasn't spoken yet, when he does some of these slates may be shattered to smithereens. Time only will tell.?Newa and Courier. ? Benjamin Harrison received fewer electoral votes in 18?2 than any candi? date nominated by tho Republican party for tie office of president since Preeinont ran for that ofijco in 1850, Freemont had 114 votes, Harrison had 14-">. The popu? lation had increased rneauwhilo lroui 28, 000,000 to 02,000,0C?. Jnsi the Poor Man's Lack. "There are perhaps 800,000 men in this country who need artificial legs and arms and not moro than 100,000 of these are supplied." It was a well-known maker of wooden legs who said this to a New York Sun man. He was warding off an appeal to hia charity in behalf of a loco? motive fireman who had slipped under his engine and had been badly crippled. "Tho fact is," be continued, "it is alwai's the poor man who loses a leg or an arm, now that tbe war is over. Excepting the crippled voterans who are supplied with log* >y the Government, nearly every man who loses a limb has to have help to got a new one." But while the number of pensioners on account of the war continues to increase with each increase In years since that time of carnage, there is littlo likelihood that the number of. makors of artificial legs wili fall off much in number. There are nearly ?O0 of them now, largo and small, many of whom, having worked m one of tho larger factories, set up for themselves and whittle out a "timber toes" for unfortunates who can? not afford to buy one of the improved legs. The science of making wooden legs and arms has in recent years almost supplied the place of the natural members that' have been lost. There is almost no occu? pation now that is closed to man on ac? count of bis crippled condition, and by the use of a rubber heel and toe it is made possible for a man to walk almost with? out perceptible impediment or limp in his gait. In fact a man with both legs gone can now preserve his equilibrium and walk about almost as well as any other man. ? The wood employed?wood being light? er and Btronger for this purpose than any other material discovered?is willow or bass wood, and alter it has been season? ed and carved into the proper form it is covered with rawhide and enamel to strengthen and finish it. With artificial arms and hands a man may hold a fork, drive a horse, extend the arm at will, and even write a fair hand. There is a case ot a man who lost both hands and one foot who now walks perfectly well and is able with his artifi? cial hands to grasp light articles, open doors, and feed himself. A man with two artificial legs rides horseback and can mount and dismount readily, and another man has even walk? ed a mile in 10 minutes 50 seconds to beat the wooden-leg record. Skating and bicycle riding are other accomplish? ments and enjoyments from which some of the men with artificial legs are not de? barred. It is curious to note that, accord? ing to the tables of percentages, farmers are the greatest sufferers, 17 per cent, of of tbe cases of leg amputations being found in their number, while workers at the bench number 13 per cent, labor? ers 81 per cent, and railroad men but 7 per cent. Home Folk In Washington. Washington, March 13.?President Cleveland shows no disposition to act hastily in dealing with the South Caroli? na appointments. He received several hundred callers to-day, but nere was not a South Carolinian among tbe number. Ex-Attorney General Earle is expected here to-morrow to enter actively into the fight for the District Attorney. He will probably have company, as there are a number of entries for the same stake. Mr. D. A. J. Sullivan, of Charleston, J arrived here to-day to survey tho field I and see if there is anything in his line that is worth striving for. Senators Butler and Irby appear to be well taken care of in the make-up of Senate committees. Senator Butler will be chairman of the committee on Inter | State commerce, and also a member of the committee on foreign relations and naval committee and the committee to investigate tbe trespasses upon tho Cher? okee lauds. Senator Irby will be chair? man of the committee on transportation routes to the seaboard, add also a mem? ber of the postoffice committee. He may be assigned to one or two other commit? tees. Senator Irby declines to reveal the pur? port of hia interview with the President, which took place last Saturday. In re? ferring to the subject to-day, however, ? he said he was very well satisfied with the understanding be had with tbe Presi? dent. He is confident that the President intends to deal fairly and impartially with both political factions in South Carolina, and he is satisfied that the Till man wing of the party will receive its share of Federal patronage. Mr. J. L. Hodges, of Bennettsville, is here seeking endorsements from the South Carolina delegation to aid him in securing an appointment as one of th<s deputies to the coming collector of inter? nal revenue.?Special to News and Cou? rier. Disaster at Ersklne. Doe Wbst, March 10.?Ersklne's new college building was nearing completion. Day by day its beauty and attractiveness were growing upon all who "looked upon it. Everybody was looking forward to having our commencement exercises in its large and commodious auditorium in June. All day yesterday- the painters and carpenters werb at work. They stop? ped at ti p. in. At 7:30 p. m. a loud crash was heard by many people of the town, and those who heard it knew that the sound came from Erskine College. On hastening to the building a terrible condition of things was to be seen inside the large ball. In the gymnasium under the hall are several brick pillars laid upon concrete and capped with stone, and upon these pillars rests several iron posts running through tho hall to the second story. On one of these beams is built a solid brick fire wall twelve inches thick, clear to the roof. It is supposed that this wall was too heavy. At auy rate, some? thing gave way, and brick wall, iron beams, ceiling and flooring came crash? ing through to the ground. A few of the rooms are wrecked. In addition to this, tbe observatory tower has lost a few brick, is cracked on two eides and is out of plumb. It is such a mass of wreckage that the exact trouble cannot be ascertained definitely. Other parts of tho building are as good as ever. The general opinion is that it will not take less than ?5,000 to repair the damage. It is fortunate that the accident occurred at night, for if it had happened in day? light, more than likely some one would have been crushed to death. The archi? tect, Mr. J. F. Denson, of Washington. D. C., was telegraphed for last night ana nothing will bo done until ho arrives.? Special lo Columbia State. m % m j Wonderful Tribute to Wade Hamp? ton. Washington, D. C. March 7.?Gen. Wade Hampton has had, perhaps, tbe highest compliment paid him by the members of tho senate that could have been paid, and he will, without doubt, remain in Washington four years as rail road commissioner. I have the informa? tion directly 'roin one of-the leading members of tho senate, who has signed the paper. General Hampton, as he has said all along, would not seek an office, aud until to-day know nothing of it. The leading senators got up a request in the senate chamber to President Cleveland, asking him to appoint General Hampton rail road commissioner. It has been signed, so the senator tells me, by every souator in the body, with the exception of, perhaps, Irby. It has been placed in Mr. Cleveland's hands by the senators. My informant adds: "President Cleve? land has said that ho will give General Hampton anything that he wants. Since ho would not make kuowu a preference his friends did it for him, and the ap? pointment will soon be announced." General Hampton is still hero and will remain perhaps for a week. They Will All Stay In. All Republican officials who hold com? missions for four years will be allowed to remain undisturbed by Presidont Cleve? land until their terms expire. This is the determination to which the President has come, and ho has announc? ed it to his friends. In taking this step ho returns to tho practice which he fol? lowed eight years ago, but which was really inaugurated previously by Presi? dent Hayes. It was observed with con? siderable fidelity by President Harrison, and will now be put iuto strict execution. Tho rule will not apply, of course, to foreign appointments nor'to positions in the departments Its enforcement will eoable tho President to consider f ho ques? tion of appointments as vacancies occur, and will relievo him of tho crush whioh he would necessarily have to endure if ho undertook to mako a complete change in the first year of his administration.? Washington rost. Cut in Two by a Saw. RICHMOND, March 8.?Robert Terry, while intoxicated, entered tho Virginia and North Carolina wheol factory last evening. Ho was warned by the work? men to keep away from the machinery.

Houstox, Tex., March si.?From all over Southern Texas is reported a tre? mendous rainfall Wednesday night. At Caldwell a cyclone raged over an hour and did great damage. The Methodist church was completely demolishod. Several small houses and cabins wore blown to pieces. The residence of Alex. Jackson was twisted into kindling wood aud Jackson's family was badly injured. Several persons were hurt by flying tim? bers, but no loss of life is reported. Shot in the Court Boom. Nashville, Tenn., March 13.?At 1 o'clock to-day in tho criminal court room Tom Jones shot and mortally wounded Joe Winters, who was on trial for tho murder of Jones'father. Two shots in? tended for Winters struck Joe Thorpe in the throat and shoulder, seriously, if not fatally, wounding him. Winters and a brother assaulted Jones' father at the Hermitage toll gate at midnight two months ago, calling him to his door and shooting him dead. The Winters were being tried to-day and, being despera? does, had tbeir gang here to bank thorn. A quarrel was forced on young Jones by the Winters, who tried to bluff him from testifying. The court was in session at the time and Jones gave himself np to Judge Anderson. Three shots struck Winters. ? The widow of General Grant is geing to resume her residence in Washing? ton. She is negotiating for tho Elaine mansion. ? There are strong reasons for belicv iug that the World's Fair will not be ready for opening on the first of May. The condition of the buildings is such as to forbid the idea that they can be Com? pleted within that time. ? A pension office clerk a few days ago remarked that all the * existing pen? sion laws require to make them perfect is an amendment granting pensions to veterans for baldness. The sarcasm got to the ears of Gen. Raum, who promptly scalped the clerk. ? Editor Hawkins, of the Georgia En? terprise, in referring to the mollifying in? fluence diffused from a feminine pres ence, says: "A visit from the ladies is always appreciated. It encourages the devil to comb his head, wash his face and keep the orfice swept up." ? An intelligent Zulu recently said to a missionary :. "You missionaries trou? ble us. Before you came our wives got food out of the ground for us, and brought us children and cattle. You make us give up our wives, our beer, cattle for our daughters and want us to spend mon? ey for clothes, books and preachers. Life was easy before. You make it very hard." ? Both branches of the Kansas Legis? lature have passed the bill submitting to the vote of the people at the general elec? tion next year a constitutional amend? ment giving tue right to vote on all oc? casions to women of twenty one years or more. The Governor will certainly sign the bill, and it is very, sure that the people will accept the am'endment. They have backed up every '*?ip hereto? fore taken in the enfranchisement of wo? men. ? There are two parlies in Memphis? a good and a wicked one. The former has been waging bitter war on the gam? blers and lewd women and threatens to impeach Judge Du Bose. of the Criminal Court, who is alleged to be at the head of the wicked party. He has turned the tables, however, by having a number of the good indicted for renting houses to fallen women for immoral purposes. Sometimes those who wear the uniform of the truly good really belong to the wicked party. ? A syndicate of capitalists have just purchased 40,000 acres of land in Florida, lying north of the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad. The price paid was $100,000, which is at the rate of 82.50 per acre. The syndicate proposes development of their purchase on a large scale. The timber lands will be utilized for the timber, but the balance will be colonized from Swe? den aud Germany. Tobacco seems to have become the staple crop of that soil, while stock breeding will also be intro? duced. Fruit growing, too, will play its part. ? A man of unquestioned veracity, of Valdosta, Ga., vouches for the truth of this fish story. His friend, who lives a few miles in the country, set a line for catfish one day last week. In the morn? ing when he went for the fish ho found them in abundance, and on one line he found a large owl, that must have been a terror to birds and fishes when alive. The lice was wound around the body and the neck of the owl, and the fish bore marks of the owl's talons, indicating that the owl had caught the fish after the hook had caught it, and in its efforts to fly away with the flah it had been ensnared by the line, after which the fish had Us inning by drowning the owl. At any rate the owl was dead and the fish, though disfigured, was still in the swim, and playing the line with a vigor that caused the line to bob up aud down with the irregularity of the cotton market. The drowned owl is ou exhi? bition as a witness to the truth of the story, and the fish, though the finest of tho catch, escaped the frying pan, and cow has a steady job as an owl catcher. The fisher set him for owls. ? An interesting experiment is to be tried at Union Springs, N. Y. A com? mittee of prominent residents, including the Episcopal and Catholic clergymen, is to assume the oxclusive sale of liquor. This committee has published the follow? ing statement: "We will allow no man to pay for another man's drink. We will permit no drunkenness nor any approach to it. We will allow no one apparently under tho legal age within our doors. We will sell to no man if by the proper person we are forbidden so to do. To certain other persons, their names to be passed on by a majority of the commit? tee, we will not sell it at all. We will not sell spirits in larger quantities than a single gluss, except on a physician's or? der, and of all such sales we will keep a record. These and such other wholesome rules as from time to time we may deem desirable we shall enforce, Our entire Erofits. which will be large, will be anded over as frequently as pos? sible to the town authorities with tho un? derstanding that they will be used for the purpose of reducing the taxation of the town." ? A German statistician has been both? ering himself about the question as to when people should marry. In the first place, he holds, that the mother in the teens is an abomination. No woman should marry until she has crossed her twentieth year. Children born of moth? ers under twenty die in treble proportion of those whose'mothers are above that age. This spectacled professor also rai? ses tho litnit of age on men. Tho father who has not raised his mustache should ho confined in an asylum for imbeciles. By law, men should be prevented from marrying until they have reached the age of twenty-five. The best results in children are seen among fathers whoso ages range from thirty to forty. Women under thirty years of age should not mar? ry men who have passed fifty. The pro? fessor quaintly adds that "it is not wise foi womec ovor thirty-five years of age to become the brides of men under thir? ty." But what is the use of all this 1 Not only is love blind, but the lover as well, and when the notion seizes the heart, there is nothing that can prevent the marriage from taking place.

Confederate Memorial Bazar. Editors Intelligencer : Thirty years ago thousands of brave, loyal women all over our bonny Southland, were work? ing, praying and weeping for the Confed? erate cause and the "boys in gray." Many of their dear ones bad already fallen on the battlefield?fathers, sons, brothers and lovers?and others bad died in hospitals with none but stranger bands to close tbeir eyes and administer the last sad rites; and yet, with characteristic heroism, the women of the South stran? gled their sobs, dried their tears and crushed down tho murmuring voice of their sorrow and misery, and worked with redoubled energy to make their homes as cheerfal and comfortable as possible. In addition to this there were boxes to be packed, clothing made and bandages prepared, and with every seam a prayer went up for the welfare and success of those to whom they were sent. As the months passed by the loss grew greater and the sturdy, faithful hearts that ceased to beat under gray jackets, the weary war-worn heroes that would never again bear a reveille, were num? berless and went to tbeir graves unbon ored and unknown by the land of their birth and the country for which they so willingly and gallantly died. The South with her carnage, poverty and helpless? ness, could not prevent it then, but how is it now ? Dauntless and energetic wo? men throughout nearly all the Southern States, especially in Virginia, are work? ing to raise a monument for the unknown graves of so many unrecognized heroes. A Memorial Bazar will be held in Rich? mond during tho month of April for the benefit of this object, and every loyal Southern State is expected to do her part. Will the Palmetto State*, heretofore so eager and anxious' to lead in all things patriotic and elevating, prove a laggard now ? Ob. women of South Carolina, we should feel that this is a pleasure?even before we realize the duty involved?and make every effort to show our apprecia? tion in a substantial way. Other States are responding gladly and ably, why should not we ? In every town and village there should be a committee to receive and arrange for subscriptions for this purpose. "Sing it aa you way, It never can be sung, Tell it as you will, It never can be told, , The story of the glory Of the men who wore the gray." All communications should be address? ed to "Memorial Bazar," Richmond, Va., care of Mrs. J. B. Jannoy, Secretary of South Carolina committee, with the name of sender in one corner. All packages and donations will be sent free of charge by the Southern and Adams Express companies if labeled "Memorial Bazar." B. B. GIST W. BIG BY?A TRIBUTE. Lycidas is dead- -end ere bis friend, Young Lycidas?and hath not left bis peer. Dead, in all the pride and strength of bis bright unsullied manhood?shot down by a cowardly assassin. Dead?wearing the honor of his gallant and promising youth like a diamond on his bosom, carrying in his band even unto death the love and ad? miration of all who knew him. Dead? and p.shadow inefiacable rests on hearts and home and on the entire village. Life held ior him Elysiau fitdds and the future beckoned to long years of usefulness and joy ; but a cowardly bullet from a hidden band blotted out one of the noblest, purest lives the world ever knew. But he was ready, and the brave, trjie hands were quietly folded?hands that were glorified by kindly deeds?and the life of Gist W. Bigby, a life inexpressibly dear to count? less hearts, passed out into the vast beyond to dwell with the just, made perfect, while lips, dumb with anguish, murmur "Why f" Ob, pitying angels 1 doubtless ye care, but ye know not, oh. angels, the sweet, sweot human love, the bitter, bitter human sorrow. Possessed of rare personal attractions, and still rarer qualities of head and heart, the friends he won were legion. The stay and staff of a widowed mother, the heart strings of sisters, brother, aunts and cousins, bis untimely death wraps his home and village in a pall-like sorrow. Good-by, Gist! Our hearts are broken with sorrow, knowing we will never more on earth hear thy loved voice, or see the winsome smile hovering on the handsome mouth ; knowing that God watches his beloved while they sleep, we follow hum? bly on in the happy confidence that thou art at home. Thou art with Rod, We trust you to the band that made you, The jewels we mourn here are hoarded Where the uiQtb and the runt cannot come. M.

About thirteen year? ago?a time when the " memory of man runneth not to the contrary"?ther? fctood among the red old hills of Georgia, in one of the rockiest cotton fields lh*t Southern genius ever dared to cultivate, a lad of thirteen summers. His form was rather sleuder, but the uize of his brogani show ed a good ?Hi/er-stauding. His brawny arms, sunburnt hauds and countenance showed that while quite young he had learned to guide the plow and to handle the hoe His hair was black and his eyes a dark blue, sometimes appearing black. Usually sharp and penetrating, to-day is reflected from under the prominent brow an anxious longing for something. As the hot ten o'clock suu of an early June day poured its rays upon his head, the nimble steel hoe, which had been snatch? ing grass from about the roots of the cot? ton plant from early sunrise, began to Blacken its rate. A spell of sleepy languor comes over the lad. His hoe stops. The handle Is put under the left arm for a prop. The left foot takes its place just above the knee of the right leg. In thin position C. S M-, for that is his name, solilo? quizes : I must, I will be noticed. My name shall be written on the book of fam e. Here I may make wealth, but fume never. Ambition was Ctesar's ruin, but 'twas the greatness of Washington. Here I register my watchword. By honest and high en? deavor I shall make myself known. But what field is left open for me. Pol itics are too tricky. In this field the honest men generally stand on the pluins below and watch the unscrupulous on the towering heights. Lo! have I been asleep? Was it a dream ? or was it a fact? Ah ! a vis? ion, a vision! My eyes looked into the future. I have disclosed the volumes of his? tory made by the mercautile world. What did I behold but my own name, with hon? orable mention, in no mistakable terms. At the top of a page I read : His success was due to the valuea he gave, aided by correct treatment of bis customers. I looked to the North and to the East, and saw a stranger in a land of strangers; his name unknown; his purse small; his heart overflowing, and nerve to dare and to do what the millionaire would not dream of. I saw him take a handful of circulars and band them out to crowds of astonish? ed people. I saw him point to a sign new to him and to the world. 1 hereon were these words: "THE TEN CENT 8T0RE," C. S. MINOR & CO. The soliloquy was over, the vision past. That youth had a new life. There was something to work for?an objective view. The writer knows the inspiration, for I am that lad. I determined to put my dream into effect. Just four years ago to day? March 15,1889?the Ten Cent Store flung its doors open and its banner out to the world. Spot Cash our motto. To under? buy, to undersell our password. Honest valoe for your money stamped on our brow. We will not ask 15c. whea we can sell for 10c, nor 50c. when we can sell for 45c. No, that's wrong. The lowest figure possible is the right figure. That figure we'll make it. To day we celebrate our fourth usniTer sary. How well we have succeeded Jet Competition tell. Yours always truly, THE BAZAAR. C. 8. MINOR and THE CENT 8TORE, 17 8 Main Street, Anderson, 8. C. P. S.?We may mention this matter again later if it suits us. Important Change! Jas. P. Gossett <fe Co., wholesale.aud re? tail dealers in Boots and Shoes, will dis? solve at the expiration of ninety days, and, from the present until the day of dissolution, they will offer their Mammoth Stock of Goods?12,000 pair of Shoes?at cost. This stock ia one of the largest, best bought, and most carefully assorted stocks n the State. It is composed of the pro? duction of the oldest, best known, largest and most reliable makes in the United States, namely: A tremendous line of the "the old reliable" Bay State Shoe and Leather Co's. famous, prison-made Men's, Boys' and Youths', Women's, Misses, and Children's Shoes. A magnifi? cent line of Men's and Boys' fine hand? made 8hoes of the very latest designs and styles from the works ot James Banister & Co., Williams, Kceeland & Co , Charles Heiser, Rice & Hutchins, and others. A large, elegant and most beautiful line of Women's, Misses' and Children's Shoes in New York, Berlin and Parisian sty'.es, fresh from the shops of Krippendorf, Ditt man & Co., the accepted leaders of the style in America. A superb line of Wil? liams, Hojt & Co's. Infants', Children's Fine Shoes, A nice line of E. P. Reed it Co's. Women's Shoes in their best and most expensive makes only ; also, a line of E. P. Dodge Mfg. Co's. Goods. In addition to the above lines they have other makes of Shoes too numerous to mention. They will also throw on the market, at cost, as soon as received, their entire 8pring purchase of Women's, Misses and Children's Southern and Oxford Ties, Juliet, Strap, House and Opera Slippers. For farm and plantation wiar their stock will he replenished from time to time from the very best makes, so that their friends in the country will be sup? plied until the very day of dissolution. It is a pity to slaughter such a magnifi? cent stock of Shoes, aud especially just at the time that Leather and Shots are ad? vancing; but it is an "ill wind that blows nobody any good," and their lo s will be the public's gain. Money saved is u oney made, and this is the grandest opportu? nity the people of Anderson and upper Carolina have ever tad, and probably will ever again have to save money in such an easy way. When they say cost, they mean it. Cost, actual cost of the Goods in New York and Boston, with cost of transportation added. In other words, the cost of the Goods delivered in their Store.?Ado._ LOOK OUT! IMUST HAYE WHAT IS DUE ME. I have waited for you to dispose of your Cotton, and still I am unpaid.
