In this age of education and enlightenment, when men read and think for themselves, all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper than yonr competitors buy them," being the "only competent dealers in the line," "handling better stuff thsn anybody el?e," Ac., is mere clap trap, and subjects the writer and the firm back of it to the contempt of all right-thinking people. The m an who has something to offer, and then tells the folks about in a plain, business way, is the man who "gets there," and getting there, stands. Lots of peiple handle Faint.

BLUE STONE AT ORR & SLOAN'S, BE???A,?8E THE YEAR AT CLE.USOX. Annual Report of Chairman Simpson of the Trustees. Columbia, S. C, November 20.? The annual reports of many of the State officers have been printed by the State printer. Out of those issued to-day perhaps the most interesting is that of Clcmson College. The report covers seventy-nine pages, and in ad? dition to the long reports of the board of trustees and the president there are detailed reports from the various departments and the experimental station and its work. The report of chairman Simpson, which gives a concise resume of the year's work, is given almost in full. He says: On the night of the 22d of May last the main College building was burned, together with all equipments therein. The fire originated on the third floor in a room in which the State's ex? hibits were stored, and, notwithstand? ing the heroic efforts of the professors and students, everything in the build? ing was burned, owing to the fact that shortly after the fire was discovered it reached a lot of articles preserved in alcohol, and immediately the ves? sels burst and scattered the burning fluid all over the large museum room. Efforts were then directed to saving the large and handsome chapel which adjoined the burning building. By the aid of the well-equipped fire de? partment these efforts were successful and the chapel was saved. The building was insured for the sum of $20,000, all of which was paid up promptly. Immediately after the fire the board of trustees met and pro? ceeded to have the building re-erected. The contract for this purpose was let to Messrs Guide & Walker, of Atlanta, Ga., for the sum of $23,393, to be completed January 1. 1895. These gentlemen gave bond for the faithful performance of their contract. At this time the work is progressing sat? isfactorily, and we feel assured that by the beginning of the next session, February 15, 1895, the building will he ready for use again. At the same meeting the board decided that it would never do to sus? pend the College exercises. Such temporary arrangements as vrere possi? ble were made, and the exercises were continued until better arrangements were effected. To this end a large wooden building was hurriedly erected, and is now used for class rooms. When the College is completed this house is intended to he used as a hotel, the want of which has been for a long time felt upon the ground. The destruction of the class rooms, with their equipments, the library, offices and fixtures, necessarily pro? duced considerable disorder for Borne time, but both the professors and the students met the situation with com? mendable energy and self-sacrifice, which resulted in but slight interfer? ence with the regular routine of col? lege duties. The heating apparatus, electric plant and water-works, together with the class room fixtures and equipments and library, were all destroyed in this building. To re-equip the new build? ing in the same manner and pay the difference between the contract price for its re-erection and the amount received from insurance will require about $10,000. Since making our last report the Mechanical Hall has been enlarged, in fact doubled in its capacity, and, with the necessary machinery put into it, it will be sufficient to \ supply the demands necessary to afford practical instruction to at least three hundred students, or fully one-half of the entire possible attendance in the Col? lege. To this department also has been added a partially equipped foun? dry and forge. Satisfactory instruction has not been given to all who desired instruction in this department during the year, Offing to the fact that the new addi tion'was ?in progress of construction, and for the want of more machines to equip it, but, notwithstanding these drawbacks a class of work has been turned out by the boys which sur? prises everyone who has seen it. A levee has been built for the pro? tection of the river bottoms against freshets. The dairy has been completed and equipped, and cheese of the first quality is being made daily. A hotel has been built as aforesaid. The water works have been taken up and relaid, and with the additions thereto we are able to report that there need he no more apprehension of danger from this source. A great deal of work has been done around the dormitory and upon the grounds generally, which it would be hard to particularize. Heretofore the water closets and bath rooms have been in the dormi? tory, and although they were well arranged the hoard was fearful that it might prove to be injurious to the health of the hoys, and hence they have contracted for buildings outside in which these conveniences may be placed. These buildings will cost about $3,000. The board, in its anxiety to receive as many boys into the college as prac? ticable, directed that four boys be placed in a room, which would make the attendance 600. This large num? ber of boys crowded into one building we consider eminently dangerous both to health and discipline. We there? fore earnestly request such an appro? priation as will he sufficient to erect a building that will furnish ample room to accommodate the full C00, so that only two boys need be placed in a room. By a resolution adopted by the last General Assembly $10,000 were ap? propriated for the purchase of the Lee land upon five equal annual in? stalments. This property which lies contiguous to the Fort Hill land, and was originally a part of the Calhoun tract of laud, and contains. 288 acres, has been purchased and the title made to the State of South Carolina. Two thousand dollars, the amount appro? priated to make the cash payment, was collected and paid. The balance of the purchase money, $7,000, was borrowed by the board and paid to Miss Lee. One-fourth of t,his amount, $1,750, and the interest on $7,000 will he needed to make the next payment, which will fall due the 1st of Febru? ary, 18ii5. It will be seen the board was able to effect arrangements with Miss Lee as not to violate the terms of the Act. The purchase i>rice, together with the interest on the credit portions, will make the cost of the land to the State not rapre than the amount set aside for this purpose. The report of P. H. E. Sloan, sec? retary and treasurer, is heretofore ap? pended. From this report it will be seen that at the time of making the last report, Ootober 31, 1893, there was on hand? A cash balance of.$ 3,105 17 Privilege tax, less expen? ses of collection. 38,006 95 Amount received from land script. . 5,754 00 Amount received from Clem son bequest. 3,991 96 Appropriation to buy Lee land. 2,000 00 Farm products. 474 70 Total amount of State's appropriation.$53,362 78 This amount has been expended, as will be seen by the report of the treas? urer, in permanent buildings, convicts, freights, insurance, labor, tools ana machinery,' travel of trustees, teams and teamsters, heating, electric plant, farm, labor of students, chaplain, salaries, land and a few other minor matters. The expenses of the laundry are paid by the students for washing. The surgeons fees maintain the infir? mary. The board paid by the stu? dents maintains the mess hall. The items of text books and uniforms are paid for by the students. The two amounts received from the Fe'deral Government, that is the Hatch fund, $15,000, and the Morrill fund, $10,500, are required to be ex? pended on the experiment station and in the salaries of teachers and appara? tus necessary thereto. The strain upon the resources of the College, by reason of the great demand for its privileges has been and is still enormous. The board of trus? tees feel that they voice the senti? ment of the entire people of the State when they say that this demand should be met amply and to the fullest ex? tent. The necessities of the institu? tion to this end have been considered, and the following appropriations are asked for with the assurance that every dollar asked for is actually needed and necessary to the equipment and proper conduct of the College. It is, therefore, respectfully requested that the General Assembly make an appropriation of thirty-five thousand dollars to further develop and equip the institution. The convict labor heretofore fur? nished by the State has proved invalu? able both in the construction of build? ings and the development of the farm. There still remains a large amount of work on the farm to fit it for experi? mental and other purposes, which can only be done economically by convict labor. "We therefore ask that at least thirty-three convicts be furnished to the Cohege next year upon the same terms as heretofore. In conclusion the board desire to assure the General Assembly and the citizens of South Carolina that their fixed and unalterable purpose is to maintain the characteristic distinction of Clemson College, and we feel safe in saying that in this purpose we will be sustained by the president, mem? bers of the faculty and every official in the College. President Craighead in his interest? ing report states that, counting day pupils whose parents live in the neigh? borhood of Fort Hill, the enrolment for the year has been as follows Sophomores taking mechanical course 40, agricultural course 53 ; freshmen taking mechanical course 99, agricul? tural course 92 ; whole number taking mechanical course 139, agricultural course 145; whole number in college classes course 284, whole number of preparatory students 351; total num? ber of matriculates 635.

The location of the earthly Paradise, or Garden of Eden, is still a matter of dispute among Orientalists and Scrip? tural scholars of highest reputation. Some have endeavored to locate it by the fruits and mineral productions named in the biblical descriptions as they appear in the second chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers men? tioned in verses 11 to 14 of the above mentioned chapter. The weight of investigation and tradition incline to an agreement that the Tigris and the Euphrates of modern geography are the third and fourth rivers mentioned in the biblical description of the gar? den. Those who agree so far differ widely as to what rivers should now be regarded as the ancient Pison and Gihon. The Buddhistic scholars, al? though they reject our Bible in the greater part, incline to the opinion that the Pison is the sacred Ganges, and that the Gihon is none other than the Nile. As to the last it is alto? gether probable that they are correct on that point because the biblical account plainly says that Gihon "corapasseth the wholcland of Ethio? pia." Some investigations affirm that Eden was a spot of comparatively small area located on the table lands of what is now Armenia, from which rise the Tigris and the Euphrates. A few scholars of distinction argue that the Adamic Paradise was located in Africa, in the vicinity of the Moun? tains of the Moon. Still another school of Orientalists locate the cele? brated garden in the vicinity of the ancient city of Babylon. You will notice, however, that none of these theorists have been able to get the four rivers mentioned in the biblical account properly located j neither have they found a place where one great river "separates into four heads." This being the case it is hardly necessary to add that the exact location of Eden is a mystery that will probably never be solved. ?

The annual report of the superin? tendent of the State penitentiary to the General Assembly just issued, makes interesting reading. It presents an array of facts bearing on crime in South Carolina which affords an inter? esting study. Superintendent Neal says : On the 31st of October, 1803, there were confined in the State penitentiary and convict camps 1,033 prisoners. Received from county courts during the year, 669 ; recaptured, 36 ; total, 1,738. Lost by expiration of sentence, 535 ; by pardon, 50 ; by escape, 36 ; by doath, 51; killed attempting to escape, 1; killed accidentally, 2; transferred to the asylum, 1; total lost, 676; leaving this day in con? finement, 1,062; making an increase of 20 over last year. "We have made during the year many improvements, having now a perfect system of water works and sewerage,- no better to be found any? where. "We had the misfortune to lose by fire the hosiery mill on the 25th of April, which had just been enlarged and improved at a cost of $4,000. I am glad to report that the hosiery mill has been rebuilt double the size of the old one, and substantial and convenient, at a cost of $15,000. The improvements inside of the yard have been upward of $30,000. Feeling the necessity of more land, to use the con? valescing and cripple, and such labor as we could not hire out or send out on farms, we rented 175 acres of land for three years near the yard. We planted 100 acres in cotton, 50 in corn and 25 in potatoes, &c, from which we have made at the low price of farm produce, about $4,000 worth, which was almost a clear profit. I am glad to report that the crops this year are all good, with few exceptions, alto? gether a good average. At the best estimate which is possible for me to make at this date, I would say that we have on hand and to be gathered, 850 bales of cotton, 10,000 bushels of corn, 8,000 bushels of oats, 3,000 bushels of peas, 360 bushels of wheat, and at the low or present prices of farm pro? ducts we will be able to pay the $7,000 now due on the DeSaussure farm, and all other outstanding in? debtedness of the institution and to have on hand at least $10,000 in cash to begin the next year's opera? tions. "We have purchased- during the year seven head of mules and horses and have now on hand sixteen head, all in goood condition and most of them young and valuable. We will have 150 head of fine pork hogs to kill this winter, and also have on hand thirty head of milch cows. "I would especially call your atten? tion to the fact that this institution has been heavily drained during the past fiscal year by Clemson College and the Girls' Industrial School, at Rock Hill, and the South Carolina lu? natic asylum, as follows : Clemson College, cash.$ 1,937.03 Labor, clothing, etc. 5,422.00 Girls' Indus School, cash.. 1,372.80 Labor, clothing, etc. 12,948.00 S. C. Lunatic Asylum. 1,170.50 I Total.$22,850.33 "So you will see that this institu? tion has been taxed during the year by these institutions to the amount of $22,850.33, besides furnishing four or five convicts and one guard to the State House the entire year free of charge, as required by law. I would especially call your attention to the small death rate and list of escapes, both of which have been remarkably small this year; the recapture of prisoners for the year has been equal to the escapes. I feel sure that under the fine water closet and sewerage system, which we now have, our death rate will be much smaller in the fu? ture than in the past. In reference to the food, clothing and sanitary condition of the institution. I would refer you to the report of our efficient physician, Dr. D. S. Pope. It gives me much pleasure to commend the faithful service of our chaplain, Rev. A. P. Norris, and for the spiritual condition of the prisoners would call your attention to his report. I would beg to thank the board of directors, officers and guards for their kind treatment, which I have at all times received at their hands ; our relations and business transactions have been most pleasant during the entire year. For the business transactions of the office I would call your atten? tion to the full and complete report of our competent clerk of board and bookkeeper, R. E. Burriss." The report of the board of directors of the same institutions shows that the actual and estimated profits of the institution for the past year were $27, 302.55. ? An autopsy held recently upon the body of a gorilla in Boston, by Prof. Dexter, of the Harvard Medical School, and Prof. Councilman, former? ly of Johns Hopkins Univerity, of Baltimore, now professor of pathology at Harvard, disclosed the fact that the animal's death was caused by con? sumption. This gorilla, which was on public exhibition, was said to he the largest and heaviest ever brought to this country, and, according to the decision of the doctors, was about 40 years of age. In life the animal was five feet six inches in height, and weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds. The brain weighed seventeen ounces, and in its structure bore a striking resemblance to the human brain. Of all animals the claim is made that gorillas are the healthiest, have the greatest muscular develop? ment, and enjoy the widest exemption from disease consequent upon expos? ure. When, however, taken from their native wilds and kept indoors, as a rule consumption sets in and puts an end to them. This fact has led scientists to ponder over the suggest? ion whether consumption is not more the result of artificial life than of ex? posure or inheritance. I ? W. A. McGuire, a well known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that there is nothing as good for children troubled with colds or croup as Chamberlain's Cough Rem? edy. He has used it in his family for several years with the best results and always keeps a bottle of it in the house. After having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe cough. He used other remedies without bene? fit and then concluded to try the chil? dren's medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Hill Bros. ?

A Move In tLe Bight Direction Among the Farmers. Atlanta Constitution. Out in our settlement we have quit politics till the next time, shook hands and will all go to work for the mater? ial interest of Georgia and the south. Ib is no fault of the staple that cot? ton is not the king that she was once reckoned, is the way the farmers of Pacthersville district are talking. She shall arise and assert herself in the near future, is what further is said, and shall profit those who watch it grow to whiten the fields of the most blessed section on God's great earth. This talk is brought forth as the outcome of a meeting held the other day by the farmers themselves. The purpose of the meeting was to devise some plan of action by which the farmers could be saved from the onslaught of speculators in the eastern and European centers. There is not a bit of doubt but what a little smart? ing under the recent political defeats had. much to do with the farmers be? ing gathered together, but after getting together matters took an entirely non partisan turn and a happy turn, I think. Tenants, proprietors, merchants and capitalists shook hands in friendly mood before the meeting had progress? ed far. Even the crossroads merchant and the extreme alliance man got near together and at last decided that the interest of one was the interest of all. They laughed over the "exchange" matter which at one time so threaten? ed the crossroads merchants, were s?!<!nt upon the "Ocala platform" and all other platforms, and at last resolv? ed that the south was in the saddle, not to the tread of martial music, but as united brothers, under the indus? trial banner of the world, they would struggle to put the south where she belonged and hold her there to the glory of the section. This struck Brown as so much better than appeal? ing to the arbitrament of guns and swords that he broke forth? "I'm glad to live in Dixie, Hurrah, hurrah! In Dixie land I'll take my stand Aod live and die in Dixie, Hurrah, bnrrah! Hurrah, huirah for Dixie." All that knew the old song joined in till the sound floated through the woods and across the waters of East lake, where some northern tourists were picnicking, and who stated later on that they felt like a band of "Stone wall's" men were ambushed over the hills. Even the singing of this old song took a pleasant turn, for in a moment a gentleman whom I learned was Sid Feeland, headed the northern delegation and marched them right I over among the Georgia farmers evon before the strains of "Dixie" had passed away. It was from a member of this northern party that the farm? ers caught the inspiration that has so enthused the settlement. Pointing at the waters of East Lake and letting his finger travel across the great dam, he raised his voice with his finger and exclaimed: "There is the glory of your Dixie! Her water powers and these white fields 1" as he turned upon his heel and let his finger follow the sheen of white cotton as far as the eye could see. "There," he said, his finger again returning to the dam across the lake, "is enough power to run the state of Massachusetts!" Brown yelled: "Hurrah for General Lee!" Some one else howled, "Hur? rah for Joe Johnston 1" One of the yankees then, I think him a fellow sorter like Brown, waved his hat and said: "Huzza! Huzza for Grant and Lincoln!" Then the fellow who had been dis? turbed by Brown, still standing in his place, pointed his long finger and said: "I know you can all join in one voice to the hero over yonder?Mc Pherson." This brought down the house in a regular rebel yell, and just as it was about to die away some old cracker said: "Don't forget Longstreet!" This brought down the house again, after which the meeting returned to business. It was a free and easy meeting and the northern men said whatever they pleased to say. It is wonderful how much information can be had from these northern people. One of them told us that in 1862 he ! was in Europe, and that in England alone more than 500,000 people were on starvation for want of southern cotton. Relief committees had to be formed for the distressed operatives, and that New York in one month gave over $100,000 and sent over a ship loaded with provisions for the suffer? ers. Millions upon millions have been spent in freight to carry the cotton to the manufactories. Thousands of ships have been built to transport the cotton. These ships cost from $5,000 to $500,000 to build them. If the money lost in the carrying away of cotton to be manufactured had been used for the purpose it would have built a factory in every field in Geor? gia. At last the keynote was struck when one of the northerners said that the farmers of the south held their destiny in their own hande. "You have the streams with the power?the fields with the staple." Then he smiled as he said: "All you need is some hard yankee sense to make you the greatest and richest people on earth. .Brown yelled again: "It's more silver we want?sense a plenty?free coinage, free coinage!" Sometimes Brown's foolishness docs 2"od. It did this time. After much discussion even Brown became con? vinced that every settlement of farm? ers could start a factory if they would. A co-operative plan without any poli? tics: without any disposition to tear anybody down, with good will to all and good, sound business principles in everything would soon have a south humming with machinery. At least every county in Georgia could have a factory right away. Heavy fabrics, such as osnabergs, drills, sheetings, denims and tickings could be entered into at first and then later j on we could learn how to weave a right' I smart cotton into silk and satin and get fabulous prices instead of the pitiful 5 cents so much talked of just' now, and be the money sharks instead of the poor downtrodden hayseeds that we are. A list is passing round in our set? tlement for the fulfillment of this plan. A farmer may take a dollar or a thous? and dollars in stock, as he feels able. After all is accomplished that can be the money will be counted and a fact? ory will be built according to the amount. Certain there will be plenty of safeguards to prevent any fraud and secure to every subscriber his portion. We are going to stand in with the best element of lawyers from J now on, and, while they may want a small fee for themselves, they won't let every rascal that comes along I throw us down and run away with our substance. This young generation does not know what these factories mean to a section. "When the last war broke out the south felt the impor? tance of factories more than you young people could ever understand. Going to the factory in those days was a big? ger thing than going to Europe is now. There were but few and the few there were were hard to reach. Nor does the young generation know what a prestige cotton has in the world. England and France suffered terribly during the blockade in the sixties. The suffering is to be deplored, but they have all grown rich and oppres? sive, while we have gat idle with the knowledge taught by the war's block? ade?that the south with her cotton is a great factor in all the machinery of this great world?and at last the southern people will assert themselves and profit by such things as nature has so abundantly placed in their reach. Brown is enthused and says: The south is in the saddle For a great industrial battle, Let it come, let it come; And her waters go a tumbling, Her foaming shoals a rambling, Let it hum, let it hum! From the lands where blizzards blow Yon may come, and you will know Why this boom, why this boom? Why the sunny skies are bright, And all eager for the fight? 'Tis the loom, 'tis the loom! AloDg the crystal river, Where winter never shivers, It is clear, It is clear, That the happy time is nigh When tbe shuttles fast will fly Mills appear, mills appear! Hear ye the rattle, rattle Of tbe great industrial battle? 'Tis the thing, tis tbe thing! Wbat do you hear them say, As smoke is cleared awaj ? "Cotton's king! Cotton's king!" Tbe south has won the battle! Industries all a-rattling! Workmen siDg, workmen sing! Her strength was in ber sbops And tbe blessings of her crops? ' Cotton's king! Cotton's king!' Sarge Plunkett. A Hygienic Hades. A simple-minded old soldier, who served under Fremont the Pathfinder, returned to his native town in the east a good many years ago. and told a plain, unvarnished tale or the wonders he had seen in the Yosemite Valley and other wild regions on the Pacifie slope. By simply telling the truth this gray old fighting-man earned the reputation of being the biggest liar in all the country around. Any one who travels through the valley of the Grand river in western Colorado, and tells of what he saw there, runs the same risk. What can a man expect who says he took a half hour's swim in midwinter all unpro? tected from a howling snow-storm, and afterwards descended into the bowels of the earth and took a vapor bath, the raw (or cooked) materials of which came straight from Tophet, or there? abouts? Yet these are the every-day humdrum incidents in the lives of the people of Grand river valley. A black and turbid river flows out from between frowning cliffs; through its icy waters bubble springs of water hot from the fires below. Sulphurous fumes are provided for you as you ap? proach the little door in the mountain side near the river. It is a trifle dis? appointing to find the gate keeper seated on a cane-bottom chair, but after he has told you a few stories you feel that he is the right man in the right place. He has a talc of a man addicted to the excessive use of tobacco, who went into this hygienic hades clothed only in its vapors, and come out in a full suit of nicotine. 'Thick doors separate compartments, gradually in? creasing in temperature, until you are ushered into the cavern filled with a driving vapor that winds about you in steaming folds. As your eyes grow used to the ghostly shifting light you see the forms of half naked men, some sitting, many lying in hollows of the rocks; they seem to quiver in the wind? ing mists that envelop them like ob? jects in a mirage. After the visitor becomes parboiled he is permitted to return to the door and cool himself gradually in one compartment after another. Resum? ing the conventional garb of the tourist, he looks up once more at the stars, and is thankful that he went in at the gate where they charge admission.? Harper s Weekly. A Cat's Bite. Jacksonville, Fla., November 21.? A special to the Times-Union from Gainesville, Fla., says: Mary Ander? son died here today of hydrophobia. The woman sufEcred untold agony. The sight, or even the suggestion of water, threw her into spasms. The disease was contracted from the bite of a cat, which oq the 27th of July inflicted a wound on the woman's hand. The animal was very ferocious and fastened its teeth in the woman's hand so firmly that its jaws had to be forced open in order to release her. Dr. Lancaster attended the woman and dressed her wound and thought that the wound ^was entirely cured. On Saturday night, the woman began to experience a feeling of numbness of the muscles. She was depressed, apprehensive and peevish. Her skin was hot and the pulse extremely rapid. She rapidly grew worse, and yesterday spasms set in. She had been unable to eat anything whatever, and one time she attempted to drink water, but it was forced back before it had entered her throat. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease, as the doctors of this city have made it the subject of much study during the past few months and agree that this was hydrophobia. An AwThI Accident. Due "West, S. C, November 19.? On Thursday last a distressing acci? dent occurred in the family of W. H. Sharp, a good man and citizen of this county. There was an alarm of a mad dog. Glancing out, Mr. Sharp saw his wife with a child in her arms run? ning from the dog. He seized hisgun and rushed to their rescue. As Mrs. Sharp reached the steps, the gun knocked against something and was discharged, the load going through her head, putting out her right eye and injuring the other, inflicting a wound which it is feared is fatal. The sympathy of the community is theirs in their terrible affliction.? Correspondent Greenville Ncxcs.
