SO ITU CAROMS A COLLKOE Expansion ?if Hs Work and its Splendid Facilities. For three generations of men thc South Carolina College lias wrought its great work for the uni ti oat ion and prosperity of the State. For three generations her HODS have honored their alma mater by useful live? and splendid citizenship, and to day, in the character and strength of the members of its faculty and in the variety and thoroughness of its literary, scientific, and law courses, it stands eminent: in the quality of its work it is the peer of any university of the South. A variety of courses leading tu the several baccalaureate degrees in Arts, Science, haw. Engineering (Civil and [electrical), and I'edagogy, is offered, with the most liberal choice of studies and the widest possible elective opportunity. Thc faculty has recently enlarged and increased thc facilities for post graduate w irk, and haB placed thc opportunity for such advanced university study with in reach of all who may desire it. and who cannot go out of the .^tatc to ob tain it. livery year the College has a number of students working for post graduate degrees. Its chemical, biological, and physi cal laboratories are well equipped and have each a master teacher at its head; and thc College library, with its 35,000 volumes, is the delight of a student's heart. Tho College offers special induce ments to ambitious young men and women in its generous provision for tho conferring of scholarships on meritorious students at the close of each session. Five of these scholar ships aro conferred upon distinguish ed members of the Freshman Class; four in thc Sophomore Class, and three in the Junior Class. In addi tion to theso scholarships, by an Act of thc General Assembly in 1001, two Special Nfrmal Scholarships, for men teachers, are given to each coun ty in tho State, thc value of each being equivalent to S'JS. This gift cannot be regarded asa charity-far from it. The money will bc paid back to the State a thousand fold in the betterment of the common schools of the State, which aro established and maintained solely for the purpose (or should bc) of rearing good citizens men and women whoso lives shall bc devoted to the common weal. The men who honestly accept these scholarships are not accepting charity, but are simply being partly paid in advance for the hard work, the self aaeri?ce, the grind to which they sub ject themselves for tho good of the State. The teaching force of the faculty numbers seventeen professors, adjunct professors, and instructors, each of ??^whom is a specialist in his own de partment, and has enjoyed the finest advaptages offered in tho great uni versities of thia poultry or Europe. Tue president, faculty sud stmjonta are working together harmoniously jind as a unit for tho good of tho Col legs. On the loth day of last March Prof: R. MeanB Davis, Professor of History and Political Science, thc great teach er, the big-hearted man, the model oitizen, died. His loss to the College and to the State is incalculable. At the meeting in June the Board of Trustees elected as his successor Prof. Gordon B. Moore, a Virginian by birth and a South Carolinian by years of service. Professor Moore is a gentleman and a soholar, a nfan of high charaeter, ot great mental strength and vigor, and of long experi ence in successful teaching. He also has a worthy reputation as a great Baptist preacher. The Chair of Adjutant Professor of English has also been established, and Mr. H. C. Davis, a South Carolinian and a graduate of the South Carolina College, and last session a teaoher of English in the University of Wash ington, at Seattle, was in June elect ed to fill this ohair. The College is to be congratulated upon securing his services. His success as a teacher is assured. The advantages offered to the young men of the State by such an institu tion are invaluable. The Barber's Retort. "Big Tim" Sullivan, w. J likes a clear., close shave every day, tolls of his ezperienoe with a barber in Penn sylvania avenue while he was attend ing congress. Mr. Sullivan went into the shop one morning and reposed comfortably in the ohair. For two or three mornings he had noticed the barber had been drinking, but he hesitated to speak to him about it. Finally the blades of the razor slipped under the surface of the congressman's chubby chain. "There you idiot!"'. he shouted, jumping from the ohair. "Now you see what liquor doeB." .'Yes," replied the barber, calm ly, "it is apt to make the1 skin ten? - Liberal mind 1 women can't keep ,13 core ts. f - Truth Estranger than, fiction to the chronio liar. lf?sJf*'iiZ(t. ??V.V;?}. -: ?-VI .?'.'?}..?>'' J-vViy^ '"'.;R'V? Largo Hear !\ill? ?I itv Trudi. - Bonaire, Ga., Aug. ll.- Vesterday j morning Ihc southbond Georgia South: j ern passenger train ran over what the ? engineer supposed to be a man at San- | dy Hun trestle, near lion aire in II0U8- I ton county. Engineer Vales left Mu 0 m Kcveral minutes late, and as his first stoj'is 1 nadilla, ll miles below Macon, lie was running at a Ililli rate of speed, when an object which he supposed to be a man stood erect and was knocked headlong on the ground several feet below. The train was stopped as quickly as possible and a flagman was dispatched to stop the northbound train, if it should come along before the man was reached and either carried to the near est physician or otherwise cared for. The tram was in charge of Capt. li. I'lourney and Trainmaster Scott wa> in the bleeper. W hen the supposed man had been found the engineer blew for the llag man to return. Th?; loud blowing of thc whistle and thc train being still aroused .Mr. Scott from his slumbers and he eagerly asked ('apt. ('lourney why the train had Stopped. The ne gro porter was the lir-t who reached the supposed dead mau, and imagine his horror when he found instead of a dead man a half dead black bear, weighing nearly three hundred pounds, offering fight. The bear died before day, and the next train brought it to Bonaire, where it was on exhibition from the depot platform all day Tuesday. Engineer Vates, Conductor Klour ney and Trainmaster Scott arc all de lighted at thc killing of a bear instead of a man, as they first supposed. Monumeut to tien. Beauregard. Charleston, Aug. 23.-A movement has been started herc to erect a hand some granite arch on Washington Square to the memory of Gen. Pierre G ustav Toutant Beauregard. A move ment was inaugurated some years ago and voluntary donations were made for the purpose, but the sum was not sufficiently large to undertake the work and the money was deposited in bank. It was iccentli' decided to erecta mon ument on a smaller scale than origi nally planned and now this is to be done. It is especially appropriate that Charleston should honor the memory of one of thc ablest soldiers of thc South, for the reason that Gen. Beau regard had a warm place in his heart for CharlcBtou, as evidenced in the bequest of his Bword which now occu pies a case in oity council chamber, while the best thoughts of his milita ry career wi^p directed towards the harbor defense cf Charleston. The programme of tho exercises attending the unveiling of tho monument, in scriptions, etc., will bo announced later. _ Punishing A Shopper. JJ?nry McBride, the Governor of Washington, was talking about depart ment stores. MA department storekeeper in Seal tie," he said, "complained to me one 1 day about tho people, in outlying sec tions of the oity, who were always having delivered to their homes pa pers of pins, thimbles, finger rings, and similar infinitesimal packages. He said that sometimes a two-horse team would travel a mile to carry home a half dozen shoe battons or a skein of silk. "Then he desoribed a trick that an old employer of bia in New York had once played on a woman. She was a chronic offender. Two or three times a week she would harass a half dozen salesgirls an hour or more, and finally buy, and order delivered, a pa per of needles, or a quarter of a yard of ribbon. "So the man deoided to make an example of her. "One afternoon, after her usual shopping excursion, there drove up to her door a huge dray, drawn by four horses, and oontaing six brawny, bare armed laborers. "A crowd oolleoted. It was thought an enormous safe was to be moved. "The womao stood at her front door. The laborers laid a heavy plank from the wagon to tho sidewalk, an i then, with many loud grunts of effort, they rolled, barrel fashion, on to the plank and thence down to the street a tiny spool of cotton thread. They oarried the thread painfully to the woman's doorstep, and there, after a desperate straggle, they up-ended it. "Then they departid. The woman kioked the spool into :he gutter im mediately, but this action on her part only made more pleasing to the neigh bors the little joke that had been played on her." - The department of agriculture has detailed Mr. Carleton R. Ball, assistant agrostologist of the depart ment of plant industry, at Washington to visit South Carolina and make a special examination and report upon the meadow and grazing lands of South ? Carolina with especial ferenoe to the adaptability of such lauds to cattle raising. j - The useful thing about going on a pionie is it limbers up all the sweat ing muscles.

Two young ladies were walking in the woods one day when they were accosted by on old and much shriv eled gypsy, who politely offered to show them their husbands' faces in a brook which ran near by for a slight renumeration. So, paying the sum, they followed the hag to see how she could do so wonderful a thing and also anxious to see their future husbands. But instead of beholding the faces of the men they so fondly hoped for they saw their own. "We can seo nothing but our own faces," said one.
