We have received a copy or The Mavesville Times, a paper recently started at Mavesville, Sumter county. Whv - ? will men start newspapers in small towns where there is no possibility of their paying? These papers eke out a sort of existence for a while and then languish and die. We do not wish for The Times .cl- any such fate, but we cannot see any prospect of it ever becoming a paving institution. The board of trustees of Clemson College have decided to raise the entrance age to sixteen years, this rule to be effective September 1st next. This means that students will have to be sixteen years of age hereafter to enter the col lege. This is certainly a proper step. One of the strongest arguments used against the college heretofore was that it was doing primary work. Boys were there who should have been in the schools at their homes. With this obf?. - jectionable feature removed, the college should be even a greater success than formerly. Iks ^ The Columbia State says: "If precedent counts for anything, none but statesmen ~ bearing gifts?either of commission or omission?need expect the vote of Charleston. * * Political Charleston has adopted an ancient platform in four words: 'Good Lord! Good Devil.' " And so has every other part of the State, Ricli) land county included. Communities, like individuals, can generally be depended upon to look out for the dollars. If we mistake not, Stanyarne Wilson led in the congressional race of 1898 in Richland county, also that he was working for a government appropriation for the Congaree river. Evidently the appropriation failed to materialize, for the county went against him in 1900. So, after Tillman and Latimer have exhausted their efforts to get an appropriation from the government to be used for an exhibit at the Charleston exposition, McLaurin steps in and gets the exhibit. We notice that none of the papers in the State are "kicking" about his asking McKinley for this favor. How about it? If Administration favors are the cause of McLaurin's course in Congress?as so man)' papers would have the people believe?why these stalwart Democrats ought to spurn benefits received from a Republican adminfstration. But it's all right with them for Johnnie to affili&te withJbe Republicans if they - r-zre to get something out of if. And-"yet 5 \ '* such fellows prate about Democracy and were only recently demanding that McLaurin resign. Denmark Doings. Denmark, April 9.?The dwelling house of Senator S. G. Mayfield was totally destroved by fire last Thursday morning. Mr. Mayfield and his wife were in the business part of the town at jfc " . the time and did not reach the scene of destruction until the flames were rapidly eating their way into the main building. Friends and neighbors responded to the aiiuw auu uiu 111uv.11 tu<iaiu vvuuuiug the fire to the burning building as well as removing furniture and valuables from the lower story. As usual, almost all of the articles saved were more or less damaged. The cause of the fire was attributed to a defective stove pipe flue. * . The bhilding was partially insured but the loss is great. Mr. Mayfield has in course of construction a temporary home, which will relieve his family of present inconveniences, and will erect in the near future a commodious dwelling on '?_ the most desirable part of his Denmark plantation. The community extends sympathy to Mr. Mayfield and* his family with the hope that "in a short time another hospitable home will take the place of the one thus destroyed. Easter services at the Methodist church last Sunday were impressive. Rev. Mr. Stokes preached a very striking sermon, interspersed with excellent illustrative, logical argument. Rev. H. B. Browne occupied the pulpit in the afternoon. The singing during the afternoon services was exceptionally beautiful. A sacred chorus rendered "by Misses Lola Rice, 1 Nell Evans, Nettie May Rice and Mr. William Riley, was highly enjoyed by the entire congregation. Miss Lola Rice sang "The Christ is Risen" very compassionately, and as usual, her soul earnestness and exemplary Christian character re-echoed in the inspired bosoms of her attentive listeners. Miss Annie Elwell, a young lady of rare musical talent, furnished instrumental music. Plans for the approaching district conference have been perfected, and nothing *? will be left undone in order that visiting preachers and friends may feel that they are thrice welcome. Sensational developments are about to be revealed to the public laying bare the numerous robberies and general devilment committed and perpetuated in this town and community during the past twelve months. Possibly some honest fathers and pure mothers tnav have to gaze upon the recklessness of their thoughtless, wayward sons. Quite a number of Danes are attending court at the county seat this week. Cotton planting is being given the right of way on the farms. J. ?' Prize Offered for Souvenir Design.

The behavior of some of the" young boys ranging in age from t > to "in years in and around church in our town is getting to be scandalous, and some action will have to be taken to put a stop to it. Your correspondent was disgusted with the sight of grown Christian men chewing tobacco and spitting great puddles of tobacco juice all over the floor ami new pews in the Methodist church last Sunday. It is certainly digraceful, and we were surprised that the guilty parties were all good church members. Rev. J. I. Avers, pastor of Denmark Baptist church, preached at the Citadel Square church in Charleston Sunday. Mr. W. L. Calill is having a private telephone line built from his residence to his office. Mrs. J. W. Wyman is visiting relatives in Charleston. Senator Mayfield has the sympathy of the whole community in the loss of his home by fire last week. A meeting of "grumbling" patrons of the graded school is being arranged for an early date. We understand a committee will be appointed to confer with the trustees at their next meeting. The shed recently erected by the Southern Railway at the union depot here is a disgrace to the community. It should be sent to the Charleston Exposition to show how the Southern Railway treats longsuffering people. Of course the railroad commission will accept it as good enough for Denmark. Mr. H. C. Walker is at home from the South Carolina College. Misses Lillie Cooper and Dora Turner represented Denmark at the B. Y. P. I". convention in Charleston. Mr. J. R.

P., which were tine, and I would suggest to one of them to give us an article on tobacco and cigarettes, which lesson is much needed in all parts. I think the worst thing for a boy of sixteen to eighteen years of age to do is to smoke cigarettes. I have been to several places where the boys would hardly get out of church before lighting a cigarette, and they would stand around and puff and swear. It would not look as bad if they would not smoke in the company of young ladies. I >?elieve what a young man told me. He said that a young man from sixteen to eighteen never smoked in the week, but saved his tobacco until Sunday^wtortT he could get where some hwwffi'wd could see him. When a hoy "from twelve to eighteen getsjr-ejgirette stuck between his fingers and a pistol in his back pocket he thinks he is worth a million dollars. Now, young men, let tobacco and cigarettes alone. But if you will smoke get you a cob pipe and get in the woods where no one will see you. Hartzog, March 1901*. E. R. S.

[Written for The Herald.] Rev. t'has. B. Gregory, writing in the Chicago Americau, seems much exercised about the "passing of woman." His laments and worries are poured forth as follows: "Mother as well as the pies that mother nspd to make: wife with the unspeakable charm and beauty that once went hand in liand with her; sister with the tender endearments that used to be associated with her name and home and its atmosphere of peace and joy, are slipping away from us." Wm. J. Bryan comments on Mr. Gregory's lamentation in his spicy little paper. "T^he Commoner," in tins wise: "Mr. Gregory thinks the new woman is neither mother, wife or sister, but as the Frenchman would put it, simply a female. There is no change in woman unless it be for the better. 'Tis true today more women have to toil to earn their daily bread than formerly. This fact indicates an unsatisfactory condition, but is Mr. Gregory using his energies and talents to remove this evil?" Women are coming to the front very conspicuously, not only in the avocations and political affairs of life, but in the formation of public opinion. There are today hundreds of womens' clubs and societies, where none existed a few years ago. But as Mr. Bryan observes in commenting on female clubs, "do the clubs and societies hurt woman either individually or in relation to society? Indeed no, on the contrary they aid and improve her." Civilization has nothing to fear from the "new woman," for she aspires to an intimate acquaintance with all that concerns society. She intends i\t? vain glorying in her advancements, no office seeking, except where she can improve on the "workings of man." Mr. Bryan says there is much more fear to be anticipated from the "old man," who elevates his nose whenever he sees a woman brave enough and energetic enough to earn her own living and keep in touch with the world, than from the "new wo t>I.? i i, iiuui : liir uum'uxki, i'ii* 11111 ami i-|*j are better off and happier when the wife, mother and sister have in addition to affection, education and business capacity. Mr. Bryan remarks again that the world needs women's brain as well as men's, and even more does she need women's conscience! Mrs. Bryan is a lawyer of great merit, and during her husband's practice was of infinite aid to him. To say that a wife is a helpmeet is far more admirable than for her to be] beautiful and simply a help eat. No, Mr. Gregory, you can rest perfectly easy, there is no "passing of woman" ami she is still wife, sister and mother, 1 and can make just as nice pies as mother j did years ago. She can do more; she can j pay for the materials that constitute | those pies and leave "John" to wonder! how she manages to live so well on such i a small grocery bill! M.

One of my milliners was taking CLaml^rlain's Cough llemedy for a severe cold at that time, which seemed to relieve her so quickly that I bought some for myself.

Those persons who have been in the habit of taking other people's mail from the postollice and failing to give it to the one to whom it is addressed, or return it to the postollice, had better be a little careful. They are laying themselves liable to severe punishment. The new post of bee ruling has just gone into effect, imposing a line of $500, or one year's imprisonment, on any one who, through carelessness or otherwise, takes mail not belonging to them from the postofliee and fails to return it immediately. This applies to newspapers as well as to letters and other valuable mail. People when taking their mail from the office should examine it before going out of the building. It will only take a moment and will save a great deal of trouble. To-say it was the postmaster's fault will cut no figure under this ruling. It will be your fault if you don't return it, and you will be the one to suffer. - _ Delayed Elirhardt Letter. Ehkiiawvt, April 1.?Rev. E. A.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway i> called the (Capital City Line, because it enters the capitals of the six States which it traverses, exclusive of the national capital, through which its trains run solid from New York to Jacksonville ami Tampa, Florida. It runs through Richmond, Ya.. Raleigh, N. ('., Columbia, S. C? Atlanta, Ga., Montgomery, Ala., and Tallahassee, Fla. This road will continue to run the famous Florida and Metropolitan Limited, and the Florida and Atlanta fast mail trains affording the only through limited service daily, including Sunday, between New York and Florida, and is the shortest line between these points. These splendidly modern trains of the Seaboard Air Line railway arrive at, and depart from Pennsylvania Railway Stations at Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, carrying Pull man's most improved equipment, with unexcelled dining car service, compartment, drawing-room and observation cars. It has Pullman service live times per week each way from Washington to that celebrated resort, Pmehurst, X. C. It has the short line to and from Richmond, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Raleigh, Southern Pines, Columbia, Savannah, Jacksonville, Tampa and Atlanta, and the principal cities between the South and East. It is also the direct route to Athens, Augusta and Macon. In Atlanta direct connections are made in the Union Station for Chattanooga. Nashville and Memphis, also for New Orleans and all points in Texas, California and Mexico.

A well known railroad contractor makes the statement that he has received from the Seaboard Air Line invitation to I become a bidder on the construction of a rail line from Charleston to a point on the old South Bound railroad, a distance of eighty miles. It is inferred from this that the Seaboard is making ready to get into Charleston at au early date. Those who have learned of the intention of the Seaboard to make this connection put two and two together and coclude that there is a great deal of truth in the recently made statement .that the Louisville and Nashville is to acquire the Seaboard. The Louisville and Nashville does nut get to Charleston except over linnc Tf l?oc lnmr CAinvltf o r/info li iviiui^ niivo* it luw* ivii^ ov/u?iit ?i i vutv to the Atlantic seaboard and has preferred the Charleston port. At one time it was in the market to buy the South Carolina and Georgia railroad, but the then owners of that line asked more for the road than the cost of constructing and equipping a brand new railroad would amount to. Later the Southern stepped in and bought the South Carolina and Georgia. It has been given out that all there was in the negotiations between the Louisville and Nashville and the Seaboard was an endeavor to perfect a traffic arrangement. But those who keep up with such matters do not conclude, if a traffic arrangement only was sought, that Captain McBee would have gone "to talk it over" with President Smith. To talk "traffic" a "traffic" man would have entered in the negotiations. Capt. McBee is not in the traffic line. It is firmly believed today that the Seaboard and Louisville and Nashville are together going to Charleston and will be there before the exposition opens; certainly after the exposition times and when the line of steamers to the West Indies is in first class working trim.? Augusta Herald. The Augusta Herald was today permitted to see correspondence that is corroborative of the information given in these fplupips the ptJn'r day to the effect that the Seaboard Air Line is to begin construction out from Charleston at a very early day. The n.ews now at hand, however, is that the present ppfppseis not to stop the construction at the old South Bound, bpt to push on a straight line into Augusta. It is, it would seem, the purpose to rush a connection from the South Bound into ?.'har)estton: in view of the exposition there, and to go uu iYqm SpUfh Bpur.ij by easier stages. It is the thorough understanding among big railroads in the east that the Seaboard is to make the connection from Augusta to Charleston as originally planned.

" * 1 Government Exhibit Sure. Washington, Aprils.?Director General Avcrill, of the Charleston Exposition, accompanied hy Senator MeLaurin, had half an hour's interview with the President thismorning on the proposition to have a Government exhibit displayed I at the Charleston Exposition. "You may j say for friends in Charleston that we inj tend to have a Government exhibit at our ; Exposition." This eonlident statement j was made by Gen. Averill before he left j the White House after his interview with ! the President: "It is impossible at this ! moment to go into all the details which j lead me to express myself so emphatically on the subject, because there are certain matters open for further consideration which public discussion at this time i might not benefit. The President expressed himself deeply interested in the success of the Charleston Exposition, ' and expressed a willingness to lend his assistance in having the Government . I nronerlv represented there, under certain I conditions. Senator McLaurin opened j this question for us, and having interestj ed the President and members of the | Cabinet in the enterprise, T am assured ; that we will be able to comply with any j fair and reasonable conditions which will enable us to secure the Government exhibit. T am not prepared at this moment to discuss the subject of furnishing . buildings and other apartments for the care and transportation of the exhibits. These are details which are yet to be considered. I expect to remain hen two or three days and with the assistance of Senator McLaurin we will confer with the various members of the Cabinet in- . tercsted and endeavor to reach a conclusion which will be acceptable to the Government as well as to the managers of the Charleston Exposition. It may be . necessary for Senator McLaurin and my- . self to go Buffalo to consult the officials of the exposition there relative to the transfer. This is about all that can properly be said on the situation at present, although I appreciate the fact . that our friends in Charleston would , only be too glad to have a more detailed statement. Under the present circumstances it would not be wise to indulge in premature publication of our plans, j but I am safe in saying that we will , surely have a Government exhibit at the Charleston Exposition." i Job Couldn't Have Stood It If he'd had itching piles.

Try washing red table linen in water in which a little borax has been dissolved. Add a few drops of ammonia to the blue water to whiten the clothes. Clothes turned right side out, carefully folded and sprinkled, are half ironed. Sprinkle salt on a wine stain and pour hot water through it until it is gone. Wet fruit stains with alcohol or pour boiling water through them. Kerosene may be safely used with boiling water to whiten yellow clothes. The quantity required is a tablespoonful to each gallon of suds. For very yellow or grimy things DltiKC ail I'maisiuii ui ivciuocnc, v;ic<n limewater and turpentine in equal parts. Shake them together until creamy, then add a cupful to a boilerf ul of clothes and boil for half an hour. The same emulsion is good for very dirty articles, such as jumpers, overalls, working shirts, children's trousers. Use it in conjunction with strong sue#;, as hot as the hand can bear, and rub a little upon the spots that are dirty and grease spots. Let the clothes stand five minutes before washing out, and be sure to have the second suds and the rinsing water as hot as the first. If coffee is spilled on linen, the stains can be removed by soaking the part in clear cold water, to which a little borax has been added, for 12 hours. If the stain is from, tea or fruit, do not put the article in cold water, or the stain will become set; simply pour boiling water over it until it disappears, which it will do if quite fresh. HOW TO TREAT BRUISES. For an ordinary bruise such as results from an ill directed hammer or from a door shutting on one's finger use a mild astringent of some sort, such as witch hazel or vinegar. Keep the bruise constantly wet until the pain ceases, using a bandage of old muslin for wrapping. If the pain is very intense, laudanum may be added. After the pain has ceased and only discoloration and swelling remain to tell the tale it is a good plan to apply a stimulating liniment. This induces an extra flow of fresh blood to the spot. In " < 1 xl__ tlie case or a severe Druise me supply of blood to the injured part must be lessened by elevating it above the heart and applying cold water or even ice. Of course when the bruise, or contusion rather, is of such moment house remedies should be indulged in only while waiting for a doctor, a truth that necessarily applies to all the various emergencies that arise. In cases of severe burns physicians are often hampered by the home remedies that cover the burns and hide the real extent of the injury. SUBSTITUTE FOR REFRIGERATORS. There are times when the household gods are set up in places where refrigerators, cold rooms and cellars are not possible. In such cases human ingenuity has surmounted the lack of all these and found ways and means of keeping food. The following suggestions may be helpful if they are needed: If there is a convenient spring or well, butter may be kept cool and palatable by being hung in the water. Put it first in a jar or bowl and stand this in a tightly covered pail. If the spring is a deep one, lay a strong limb or stick across the top and with a stout cord fasten the bail of the pail to this. Milk can be treated the same, and a watermelon oever tastes so well as when cooled [n the water.?Mary Graham Woman's Home Companion. FOR DECORATION. Get at the florist's a wide wreath frame that will fit over the edge of four lemonade or punch bowL bill in around the edges with a delicate fern. When grapevines are bare, cover the body of the frame with glossy green galax leaves, using partly the beautiful rich crimson Dncs for variety. Upon this foundation place clusters of different colored grapes, letting them hang oyer the outer edge. A more appropriate md lovely decoration for this use :ould scarcely be invented, and the 2ost is next to nothing. ? Good Housekeeping. MOW TO RENOVATE VELVET. French chalk rubbed in lightly null remove grease spots from velvet, or the chalk may be dropped on ind allowed to remain for 12 hours. To restore the pile on velvet hold it rery taut over the steam from a pan ^f boiling water, keeping the right ?ide on top and having some one beT side you to brush the pile up with i stiff whisk until it looks as it shoujd. If this part of the work is iurefuily done, the results will be post satisfactory. ? Ladies' Home Journal. The Host Remedy for Khoiniiatjsin, iji'u.k uKi.ipr hu?m r.yx.
