Many a stingy man will bc helped by thc new law in Minnesota, which prohibits "treating." - mt . -mm Thc authorities of New York city arc making war on parlor matches, lt ie claimed that more than a thousand New York lires were caused hist year by parlor matches. Parents could not give their boys and girls a more useful or appropriate Christmas present than a good hook. Then, they arc so cheap, they arc in thc reach of thc poorest as well as thc richest. Thc director of thc census reports that thc 12th census, of 11*00, cost a total of almost $12,000,000, or an average of over 15 cents for every man, woman and child in thc coun try. Over one-third of thc expense was in gathering data in thc field, thc rest being chargeable to thc office work, tabulation, etc. -i? -o ? A few years ago the gold reserve was so low in thc United States treas ury that the country was alarmod about thc credit of the government. Now thcro is so much gold on hand that thc Treasurer is trying to devise means to get it out of the treasury and into circulation. Tho amount now on hand is nearly six hundred million, and is still rapidly accumulating. .-mm m ---. Probably, after all, thc best solu tion of the negro problem would not bc, as Bishop Turnor holds, to ?hip them to Africa, but to ship thom north of thc Mason and Dixon linc. Then, probably, after a few years wc wouldn't hear of thc negro problem at all; or if wc did, thc people who make a specialty of agitating it would sing an entirely different tune. This has been a great year for tur nips and potatoes, cabbage, and, in fact, all late garden truck. The sea son has been most remarkable, and ns a result some big stories arc going thc rounds of thc papers about turnips and potatoes of mammoth size. Straw berries also have been in evidence. South Carolina is a great old State. She stands ahead of the world in her delightful climate and adaptability of her soil. Rev. H. M. Wharton, D. I)., of Virginia, is preparing a book of war songs and poems, and requests any one who has a poem or a song written during the years of tho oivil war to kindly send same to him at German town, Pa. It is a very worthy under taking on the part of Dr. Wharton to rescue from oblivion the beautiful songs and poems whioh were written during the severe struggle between the North and the South, and every one in possession of suoh literature should send a oopy promptly to him. The first real step to bo taken by Congress to oarry out the recommen dations of the Presidont in his mes sage regarding the trusts, and perhaps the only measure which will get be fore the House at this session, will bc a bill appropriating $500,000 to enable the Attorney General to enforce the provisions of the Sherman law. Such a bill was introduced thc first day of tnis session by Representativo Hep burn, and is one of the many anti trust measures now before tho judici ary committee. Tho report comes from New York that the Rockefeller General Educa tion Board has practically been given unlimited use of thc Rockefeller funds, and the millionaire has expressed a willingness to see the million dollars Utilized in southern education. Mr. Rockefeller's desire is that no quar ter or section of the South shall be without general educational facilities, equal, if possible, to those of thc North and West. To this end every Southern State will bo enabled in the distribution of the general fund to bc taken care of by the general educa tional board. The Georgia Legislature certainly has a genuine curiosity that Barnum or Sells Bros.' big circus should have on exhibition in one of their side shows, for it certainly would be a most attractive feature. Herc it is as pictured by tho Atlanta News, of tho Ilth inst: "Another new record has been established by Representative George C. Glenn, of Whitfield, who has refused to accept pay for five cNys he was-absent from the House, and de clined to accept mileage because he travels on a free pass. While hereto tofore thcro have be$n a few instan ees of members pf the Legislature de clining mileage when using passes, this is believed to be the firstinstanoe where per diem has not been drawn for days absent. The total amount thus left in the State treasury by Mr. Glenn is about HO. Tuckersville Dots. Tho farmers aro through gathering their crops, and arc enjoying unbound ed prosperity. More corn was made than lins been made in u number of years. George Martin has accepted a posi tion with Huiles & Co., at Anderson. A. T. Newell left last week for Char lestoi. ? > attend tho Masonic mooting there, and will go thence to Birming ham, Ala., on a business trip, and will not return until Christmas. A negro by tho name of Will. Jami son, living on A.C. Webb's place, hud a child, about three yearn old, burned tu death last week. ItH mother left it alone in the house and its clothing caught on iii e. on her return tho child was found almost in a charred condition, and lived t h ree or four hours. T!ie school al Cross Hoads under the management ot' < ?. lt. Anderson, has au enrollment ol' :!() pupils. About 1,000 bales of cotton have been ginned nt the Tucker ginnery this jail. This is one ? ? i the hesteq nipped and most up-to-date ginneiies in thc Coun ty. 1 Ah a result ol the heavy rains ot late t the roadt- are in a bad condition.

The building will be a one-story brick structure, VM feet long by 50 feet wide. Tlie foundation, up to the Door, uro laid in cement. Seventy-live feet of tho building will bc occupied by the machine shop, and the remainder will constitute the foundry department. In the machine shop JO electrical horse power will bil used, and in the foun dry, 7J electrical horse-power. Presi dent C. S. Sullivan says that if there be no delay in receiving the lumber ordered, thc erection of the building will 1?; one of the quickest completed jobs in tho history of the city. Tho brick work is going up rapidly, aud, unless the weather materially iuter fores, the brick masons will bo rendy for the roof in n very few days. The rapid erection of this building indi cates tho characteristic hustle of tho Anderson people. Once they enter upon the establishment of an industry they will never rest till it is completed. There is no halting and hesitating ar ? "ifs" and "anils'' about it. The wor.t is done, and it is this spirit that will soon plac?' Anderson in the lead among the counties of tho State in industrial enterprises. - ? . mm W. II. Shearer, Sur voy or, You will lind me Ht Dean & KatliuVn. Lon^ dis tance. I'hone at mv roNi<l?nco.

HELEN BLAZES ! ! THIS is the name of the girl that the irate head of the house calls when his wife cooks the FLOUR he bought from some other fellow guaranteed to be as good as Dean's Patent* He finds' it so sticky ho can't eat it ; the more he chews it the bigger it wads up in his mouth, and when he carries it back to the man he bought it from, he is told that his wife ' don't know how to bake good bread. This is enough to make any man mad, and say funny names, but thora is no excuse for it. He ought to have sense enough, as his wife told him, to know that there is no Flour "just as good" as DEAN'S PATENT, and ho ought to buy it all the time, although he is offered something "just as good" for 25c. a barrel less. . The same is true of Any man who wanto-to buy a Shoe for wear, should not hesitate to come to us and let us fit him up.
