The Satisfaction.In Traveling Alone. "Oh, the pleasure of eating alone!" wrote Charles Lamb in one of his most expansive letters. We are not quite sure how serious he was in the exclamation. But change "eating" into "traveling," and there may be found thousands who will echo the cry. Thackeray thought there was nothing to equal it. Louis Stevenson, in the Cevennes, made the same discovery, for his donkey cannot be said to count. Jean Paul Richter, though he did not live in touring times, was too accom plished an Individualist (of the senti mental kind) not to harp on this music al string. "I hold the constant regard that we pay in all our actions to the judgment of others as the poison of our peace, our reason and our virtue." Translated into plainer speocb, Richter's .words may read thus, "Unless you can have your own way life is but a poison ed puddle." Curzon. Stanley, De Windt, Miss Kingsley, Landor and a host of smaller men and 'women have acted on the same assumption. And as in larger travel, better known as exploration, so also In the less stately yet more pleas urable "trips" of common l.fe. -.After a full purse there Is nothing so good for the vagrant as a free hand.-C. Ed wardes in Speaker. When Children Smoked. Jorevin de Rochefort, who published in Paris in 1671 an account of his trav els in England, tells the following: "While we were walking about the. town (Worcester) he asked me if it was the custom in France as in England that when the children went to school they carried in their satchel with their books a pipe of tobacco, which their mothers took care to fill early in the morning. it serving. them Instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside his book to light his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw in the tobacco." In England at the time of the great plague it was reported that no one liv ing in a tobacconist's house fell sick of the disease. This caused a great de mand for tobacco. Hearne says in his diary, "I remember that I heard .for merly Tom Rogers, who was yeoman beadle, say that when he was a school boy at Eton that year when the plague raged all the boys of that school were obliged to smoke every morning and that he was never whipped so much in his life as he was one morning for not smoking." A Garden of Milk. The Milk garden of Frankfort, re served for the children of that aristo cratic city, is in itself one of the most democratic of places. Here rich peo ple who wish to be relieved for a time of -the presence of their children send them, accompanied by their nurses. Here also poor people who can neither affc-' to devote their own time to their chilaen nor hire separate nurses for them may bring their little ones, cer tain that from the garden nurses they will receive all the care and attention: necessary to safety, health and amuse ment. Private nurses of the rich people and public nurses of the working people are subject to a supervision sufficient to protect the children of all classes from ruelty and neglect. The only food fur nished in the garden is milk, whose freshness and purity are assured, Inas much as it is drunk warm from the mild eyed cows which occupy stalls on one edge of the field. . use.

Footpaths are what roads are not, natural productions, just as the paths made by hares, deer and elephants are. No one really makes a footpath-that Is, no one improves it. What Is true of central Africa is true of England. "The native paths," wrote Professor prummond, "are the same in character all over Africa. Like the roads of the old Romans, they run straight on through everything-ridge and moun tain and valley-never shying- at ob stacles nor anywhere turning aside to breathe. Yet" within this general straightfortardness there . is a singu lar eccentricity and Indirectness in de taiL Although the African footpath Is, on the whole, a bee line, no fifty yards of it are ever straight. And the reason is not far to seek. "If a stone is encountered, no na.. ~tive will ever think of removing it. Why should he? It Is easier to walk around it. The next man who comes by will do the same: He knows that a hundred men are following him. He looks at thia stone a moment, and It might be linearthed and tossed aside; but, no, he holds on his way. It would no more occur to him that that stone Is a displaceable object than that fel ~spar belongs to the orthoclase variety. Generations and generations of men have passed that stone, and it still waits, for a man with an altruistic idea."-Spectator. The Bjight Arm and Left Foot. The right arm is always a little lar ger than the left, but the left foot is almost always larger than the right. presumably because while nearly every man uses his right arm to lift a weight or strike a blow he almost Invariably kicks with his left foot, while the lounger stands on his left leg and lets his right fail easily, because he has learned by experience that this Is the best attitude he can assume to prevent lassitude' and fatigue. ' This- constant bearing of the weight on the left foot makes it wider than the right, and it often happens that a man who tries on a shoe on the right foot an-d-gets a close fit has to discard the shoes-altogether because he cannot endure the pain caused - by the tight ness of the left. lf when riding on the street car you will take the trouble to notice, you will see that in laced shoes the gap is much smaller on the right foot than on the left, while with button sthoes the buttons have to be set back ten tirmes on the left shoe to ne on the right Size of the Cottor Crop. The present low price of cot ton is attributed to various caus es, most notable among which are a slack demand for cotton goods and a growing belief that the crop is going to prove one of the largest on record. The slack demar.d proposition is so obvious as to leave no ground for questiona; but what basis there is for the large crop :dea, beyond the off-hand estimates of Neill and others, has not yet appeared. Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., of Ne w York, who are among the most level headed authorities in the cotton trade, do not have a great deal of confi dence in the big crop idea. They reason from such facts as necessarly apply to the case, and in a circular letter dated November 9, give the following plausible analysis of the situa tion: "The total amount of cotton in sight from September 1, to November 1, this year, was 2, 841,613 bales compared with the same period of 1900, it is 191,939 bales less; 20.722 bales less than in 1899; 406,878 bales less than in 189.8, and 120,723 bales less than in 1897. "If the movement to Novem ber 1st should only be 26.44 per cent of the total crop this year, as it was in 1897-98, and which was the smallest ever known to November 1st, the -crop this year would figure out 10,747,401 bales. on the other hand, should it prove to be 30 per cent. of the total crop, as it was in 1896-97, which was the most rapid move ment, the crop would prove to be 7,893,329. If the movement thus far should prove to be an average of the past ten years, which was 30.1-2 per cent. the crop would figure out 9,435,302 for this year. "In 1898-99 the total crop was 11,274,840 bales, the largest ever grown. The :novement to No vember 1st this year was 406,878 bales less than it was that year. If the crop is lo be as large this year as in 1898-99, the enormous receipts of that year will not have to be equal from now to the end of the season, but increased 406,878 bales. "1878-99 the movement of the crop to November 1st was 311, 230 bales greater than this year. Still, the crop yielded only 8, 757,964 bales. "The total crop of cotton this year cannot well be approxi mated by a comparison. of the movement to November 1st with any particular previous year; but an average of receipts to November 1st for the last ten years should represent in some degree the probable out-turn of the crop. "The crop was marketed rap idly during October, on account of favorable conditions for piclk ingjanid shipping,. and because. ctn was required for export to fill contracts for October and November deliveries and ship ments, and to in.crease depleted stocks of spinners. "On October :3rd,~ the govern ment's estimation of the condi ion of the crop was 61.04, next to the lowest estimate ever re orded. This estimate has since been confirmed by the subse :uent reports of commissioners f agriculture of the various cot ton States-some of them of re ent date. "Our own advices to date. through means of circular tele grams reaching nearly all the otton growing counties, also onfirm the prospective short yield of cotton. "It is hardly probable that a long and disastrous drought in Iexas and the -Southwestern States should contribute to in rease the crop, or that a noto riosly unfavorable rainy season in the Carolinas, Florida and parts of Georgia has contributed to the yield. Neither is it prob ble that the favorable weather f the latter part of October ould to any considerable extent vercome the injury previously ustained during the greater part of the growing season, es pecially when in man~y sections our correspondents report that the crop had already been large y gathered and marketed. "In view of the foregoing, it does not seem possible that this is to prove the largest cotton crop ever grown.. "In our opinion it would be mpossible to procure from trust worthy sources of the cotton rowing counties of the south nformation that would warrant the belief that this year's crop would prove as large as last year's. It may turn out for less. The year may not be unlike that f 1899-1900, when excessive es timates made in the autumu ex eeded ~the autual total produc tion by nearly 2,000,000 bales." A Physician Testifies. "I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure nd have never used any thing in my ife that did me the good that did," says County Physician Geo. WV. Scroggs of Hall County, Ga. "Being a phy si ion I have prescribed it and found it to give the best resits." If the food you eat remains undigested in your stomach it decays there and posisons the system. You can prevent this by dieting but that means star-vation. Ko do Dyspepsia Cure digest what you eat. You need suffer from neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The worst cases quickly cured. Never fails. The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Lor yea, Prop. The port receipts are not as heavy as they were, and the figures are growing beautifully less every day, which is an indi cation that the crop is shorter than at first stated, and we be ieve the price is bound to go higher. It would not surprise us to see cotton go to ten cents per pond before January 15th. The Purchase of Louisiana. The beginning of Jefferson's first term found this countiy threatened by the dangers ana i comoications of an inte-nation I struggle across the water. N, - poleon was engaged with plans hostile to England. France had' obtained from Spain a secret i cession to what was known as the Louisiana Territory. The British government was covetous of American territory and was interested in limiting the expan-! sion of the United States to the' westward. The United States government had become serious ly concerned over the question of commercial outlet to the Gulf. Spanish officials at New Orleans were imposing restrictions which materially hampered the coi merce of the Valley and which were the occasion of bad feeling. Marbois was Napoleon's Min ister of the Public Treasury. Napoleon needed money for his war budget. But of stronger infiuence with him was a policy which might cripple England. Under such conditions, Presi dent Jefferson opened, through Mr. Livingstone, the American Misister to France, negotiations for the purchase of so much ter ritory as would control the mouth of the Mississippi. The inspiration for this diplomacy was the increasing clamor of the people in the great Valley against the interference with American eommerce on the riv er. To aid Mr. Livingstone, Mr. Monroe, afterwards Presi dent, was sent as a special Am bassador. Napoleon met the negotiations with a counter proposition. Ac cording to Marbois, who became the historian of the transaction, Napoleon said, in a conversation on the 10th of April, 1803, speak ing of the proposed cession, with special reference to the de sire of the British: " They shall not have the Mississippi, which they covet." Twenty days later the treaty had been consummated, and the great Territory of Lousiana had been ceded to the United States for $12.000,000 and the assump tion of certain claims amount ing to about $3,000,000 more. It was in commenting upon the accomplishment of the pur chase that Napoleon remarked: " This accession of territory strengthens forever the power of the United States." The secret treaty of St. Ilde fonso, by which the territory passed to France from Spain, was made in 1800. It was known to the govenment of the United States, 'but the actual transfer from Spanish to French authori ty had not taken place. The trouble from which American commerce suffered was with the Spanish officials at New Orleans. President Jefferson, however, knew that the solution of the difficulty must come through negotiations with France. It is an interesting fact that in 1802, there sailed out of the Mississippi 158 Ameircan yes 'sels, of 21,883 tonnage. This was the American commerce en dangered. It was the arbitrary order issued on the 16 of Octo ber, 1802, by the Intendant Morales, "suspending the right of deposit" at the Port of New Orleans, which created the out burst of indignation along the Mississippi, which prompted President Jefferson to enter up on the negotiations for the pur chase of the territory. According to Marbois, Napole on realized in some degree the magnificent territory which he was transferring to the United States. He realized, however, that it was impossible for him to hold the territory without send ing a fleet and a strong force. He understood, also, that this transfer of Louisiana territory to the United States would be ~the strongest blow he could deal to England. Napoleon met the offer of the United States to purchase the mouth of the river with this answer to his Minister Marbois: "Irresolution and deliberation are no longer in season. I re nounce Louisiana. It is not New Orleans only I will cede; it is the whole colony, iwithout any re servation. I know the price of what I abandon. I renounce it with the greatest regret. To at tempt to retain it would be fol The Treaty of the purchase was signed on April 30, 1803. The transfer at New Orleans took place a few months later. CASTOR IA For Infnants andL Children. Ihe Kind You Hare AlWajs Bought Bears the signature of Why are They Talking? Some of the newspapers which have very little political power seem to be scared nearly to death at the mere mentior. of the name of McLaurin. They try to ridi cule the idea that McLaurin has a strong and growing following, but still they manifest the great est fear of the result of the election next year. The opposition may ponder these facts: 1. Vindictive 'expressions and malicious misr a pr es ent ations gain nothing for the cause in whose behalf they are uttered. 2. McLaurin has the vantage ground. In his writings he is fair, logical, analytical, convinc ing, and progressive. 3. Tillman and his imitators are not made that way. They seem to be endowed with a sur the power of reasoning from cause to effect. 4. McLaurin appeals to the sense and to the reason of swn sible and intelligenit people. 5. Tiliuma, and his lieuten ants, appeal to the prejudice and jealousy of the less fortunate and the less informed citizens. 6. The people are tiring of the methods by which Tillman gained ascendency. They have had enough of it, and when Tillman undertakes to control the people next year. they may not be willing. 7. The more McLaurin ap pears before the public, the stronger he becomes. 8. The more Tillman appears before the public the weaker he becomes. He has made very few friends since he suddenly gained popularity. His public utterances tend to destroy his popularity. 9. While he was in the State. he aided in the establishment of Clemson and Winthrop Colleges. He gave us the dispensary, and fixed it in the constitution. These things are glory enough for one man. 10. In Washington he has done literally nothing for the State. We have seldom heard of him there, except in connect ion with the thrusting of pitch forks. If he has secured any thing for this State, or for his constituents, the fact has escaped our memory. 11. McLauria has done more for the people and the State than Hampton and Tillman to gether. 12. McLaurin and other Dem ocratic Congressmen can succeed in no other way than by not antagonizing the Republicans. 13. Did not General Butler do more for South Carolina than all the other Democratic Sena tors from this State since 1876? Senator Cameron was his friend. --Abbeville Press and Banner. A Tussle With English. The pitfalls of the English tongue to a foreigner are many. A Frenchwom an who has undertaken housekeeping in New York thought she had a good, working knowledge of the language, but soon discovered her mistake. One day she called a carpenter and planned with him to have some work done about the house in the way of putting up shelves, etc., and she went over the ground with him as carefully as possible to get from him an estimate of what it would cost. After the work was done the bill sub mitted was considerably In excess of the sum first named. The Frenchwom an endeavored to remonstrate, but only succeeded in making the following re markable statement to him: "You are more dear to me than when we were Brst engaged." -New York Sun. Almonds. The world's almond crop, exclusive of those raised in California and the west, comes from Italy, Sicily, Ma jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo rocco and Algiers. The highly prized Jordan almonds come from Malaga, Spain, and not from the Jordan river, as many people suppose. The common almond is the most indigestible of all the nuts and contains very little nour ishment. There are mnany ways, liow ever, in which it is advantageously used as a desert or as a flavoring. One peculiarity about the almond tree is that its leaves contain prussic acid and are therefore poisonous, while the fruit may be eaten with impunity. A Sure Thing Sport.. A well known politician on setting out for a day's sport with a friend pointed to a large spaniel which lay apparently asleep in the hall and bet his friend a guinea he could not at tract the dog's attention. The bet was readily accepted, and after the failure of a shrill whistle and a blank cartridge to cause the slightest movement the guinea was delivered up. "That's my old dog Mahatma I had stuffed a few weeks ago," laughed the politician, "and that's the tenth guinea he's brought me."-London Tit-Bits. Italian Bees. Italian bees are more hardy than the native and more profitable. They are more energetic and will gather honey' in partial droughts when natives will do nothing. They will gather honey from blossoms that natives will not touch. They are stronger on the wing, will fly more directly and swiftly and are not so irritable. .Perfectly Plain. Uncle Rastus. who was seeking in formation concerning mushrooms, had been referred by a preternaturally sol emn student to the professor of botany, and, with hat in hand. he was address ing that dignitary. "Would yo' mind tellin' me, Mistah Mandrake," he said, "how to 'stinguish i musharoon f'm a toadstool?" "Willingly," replied the professor. 'In the first place, you must remember that the Amanita phalloides, or deadly agarie, closely resembles the Agaricus campestris, or edible fungus, which is our common variety and absolutely in nocuous. Next, it will be necessary to flx firmly in your mind the distinguish ng mark-s or characteristics of the Agaricus campestris, which are these: A pileus not covered with excrescence like scales; gills of a brownish purple when mature; stalk solid and approxi mately cylindrical; ring near the mid ie of stalk; base not bulbous and not sheathed by membrane. The distin guishing characteristics of the Amanita phallodes, or deadly agaric, are these: Pileus destitute of distinct excres eences; white gills, hollow stalk; large ring and prominent bulb at base, with membranous upper margin. Bearing these points of difl'erentiation fully in mind you will never be at a loss to letermine which variety- you encounter in any given case." "Yes, sub," said Uncle Rastus, turn ing his hat round and round in his angers. "I un'stan' dat all right, but low's I gwine to tell 'em apaht?" Chicago Tribune. Knows Enough to Keep Still.
