Wp Hp not like tocriticise our brethren of the press, but as a rule we cannot commend the course of many State papers in regard to the recent trouble at Clemson. Instead of seeking to allay the trouble, their efforts seem to us to be rather along the line of further aggravating it. The trouble at Clemson was unfortunate, and, as a friend of the college, we hope the matter will finally be satisfactorily adjusted to all parties concerned. At this distance, however, it appears to us that something must be decidedly out of joint when such a large number of students voluntarily leave an institution. Senator Jno. L. McLaurin came out in a published address in the daily newspapers last Monday, saying that he would not enter tne uemouraiu; puma**, as u. had been perverted into a political machine. We have been of the opinion for some time that he would not be in the campaign this summer, and his action n publicly withdrawing was not caused by Tillman's Manning speech. ?It would seem to be good policy for the farmers of the South to support a policy of expansion which would give them an open market for their products in competition with other nations, unrestricted by unjust and arbitrary requirements. The interests of the cotton grower and the manufacturer seem to be identical in this instance, for if the manufacturers I cannot sell the manufactured products in an open market, certainly the planter who grows the raw material cannot expect so good a price for his products. As the United States grows about eleven millions bales of cotton and only conf: sumes about half of this amount, the necessity for a free and open market is apparent. It is a condition, not a theory that confronts us, and will the farmers of South Carolina support a policy which closes to them the foreign markets of the world and further grinds them down with Knrdono nf nnvprt.r nr will thev Stand uv t ~ J ? J for a principle which opens to them free markets under fair and equitable conditions? The Exposition During: the Month of May. The Southern Railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line, and the Plant System have y - arranged to continue the sale of the cheap ? - Tuesday tickets to the Exposition, as sold during the month of May. This will enable all who have not yet visited the Exposition to do so during its closing month and those who have visited it to again take advantage of the low rate offered, as many will undoubtedly do. There has been a great deal said through the columns of the papers in regard to the Exposition and its many attractive features. There is one, however, that has I almost entirely ignored or overlooked by all correspondents, and probably from the fact that its location is such as not to attract general attention. Reference is made to the grass garden of the U. S. agricultural department, which consists of four acres of ground, and is located just east of the encampment of the marine corps. Every farmer who visits the Exposition _____ should visit this garden. Here are to, be fohtrd-growing.over fifty different forage /vVfttfoKQon rrotKopo/1 from I wups icici t cu tu uar v uvwu ^wvuv* vu &? vui Africa, Egypt, China, Ireland, Scotland, . England, Australia and many other countries. The representative of the agricul1 tural department in charge of the garden is a practical farmer and can give the visitor full information regarding each and every species of the crop, ana it can be * said to every farmer if he can spare time to come down, even if he spends only one day at the Exposition, let him carefully - study these forage crops, get a list of such as he wants to use, and he will be ten times repaid for the expense of the trip and for the time he may think he is losing from his farm. The Latest Thing In Coats. The newest modification of the Eton or bolero jacket is a jaunty little affair i termed the "coffee coat" or "Monte Carlo coat," the attractive features of which have already won the favor of the "First Lady of the" Land," Mrs. Roosevelt, who has appeared on several occasions wearing , a wrap of this tvpe. Taffeta silk is best : . adapted to the garment, though it is also \ made up in moire, soft woollens, etc. The June Delineator gives a prominent place ( in its fashion pages to the consideration of this fashionable coat, describing its con- . struction in detail. Experienced and Unexperienced. ; Once there were two doctors, a young one practicing under the older one. They . both went together to see a very sick man. ? The older one examined him and left some ] medicine and departed after telling him he must not e it a ny fruit at all. The next ' day they both returned again. The older one seeing he was worse, asked if he had eaten any fruit. "No," said he. "I have . not eaten any." "Yes, but I know you ( have," replied the doctor, "and that is why < you are worse." The young doctor was in a deep study, 1 but said not a word. And they left more medicine and departed again, and when they got home the young doctor asked the 1 older one how he knew he had eaten fruit. ' v ~ He said: "Didn't you see those cherry peels under the bed?" life' So the next day the younger doctor) "went by himself, went in and returned t home at once and says to the older doctor: ^ "There is no use of giving that man any ? more medicine. He is going to die, for he has eaten a horse." c "How do you know?" said the older doc- J tor. j "Because I saw a bridle and saddle under the bed." } ? } Reflections of a Bachelor.

' * * TOO MAM WIVES. South Carolina Man Arrested in Georgia for Bigamy. Toccoa, Ga., April 30.?Claud E. Chapman, of Greenville, S. C., was today sent to the county jail to await the next term of the superior court of Habersham county, charged with bigamy. Chapman is a young man about 24 years of age, and first appeared in Toccoa about one month ago as a fruit tree agent. Soon after he came here his wife appeared, and they spent two or three weeks together at a boarding house in the city. During this time, while Mrs. Chapman was still in Toccoa, Chapman was paying considerable attention to Miss Gussie Lovell, the daughter of G. H. Lovell, of this place. For some reason Mrs. Chapman returned to South Carolina to Chapman's fathTnocdor Anril 23 On the same ci a iaow J. uvwuwjr, -?- ? day Chapman requested of Mr. Lovellthe hand of his daughter, Miss Qussie, in marriage. Mr. Lovell replied that he could not consent to the marriage until he could learn something of the man who desired to marry his daughter. Two days later. Thursday night, Chapman procured license, went to the residence of Rev. W. S. Whitmire, accompanied by Miss Lovell, and there the twain were made one. CHAPMAN IS ARRESTED. They returned to Mr. Lovell's, where they remained until the next morning. During the day Mr. Lovell heard that Chapman had introduced a woman in Toccoa as his wife, and had lived with her here for several weeks. He at once had Chapman arrested. Mrs. Chapman No. 1 was notified that her husband was in serious trouble in Georgia. She at once came to see him, thinking that she could be of some help to 1 * * ? A?---Vty.

Finding that she would be the means of sending him to prison if she remained in Georgia, she made her visit very short. Eluding the officers, who were watching her, she returned at once to Carolina. Mr. Lovell, without delay, instituted a search for evidenec of the South Carolina marriage. This was no easy task, as in that state no record of marriage is kept by the county authorities. After three days it was ascertained that the marriage ceremony was performed in Greenville county by Rev. J. P. Attaway, who is now stationed near Pickens. Mr. Attaway could not be reached in time to try Chapman before he could demand a release. Mr. Attaway's little daughtei, Bertha, 13 years old, who wit nessed the ceremony, wnicn was & private one, was induced to come to Georgia to furnish the evidence. She arrived here this morning, accompanied by her aunt, Miss Rosa Attaway, of Williamston, S.C. When Chapman found that sufficient evidence was at hand he waived trial and was sent to jail in default of bond. HE DENIES MARRIAGE. Chapman has all along maintained his innocence, saying that, although he was living with Miss Julia Jacobs, wife No. 1, he was not married to her. Chapman and Mrs. Chapman No. 1 are both of good family and are well known in Greenville county, South Carolina. Chapman is a young man of prepossessing appearance and made a good impression upon the people of this community. He dresses well and it now develops that he owns a considerable amount of property in South Carolina. Mrs. Chapman No. 1 is a very modest woman, and while here with Chapman remained at her boarding house and it was not generally known that he had a wife with him.. When asked if he did not know that he would get into trouble by marrying a second time, Chapman replied that he had 5T? monir ototoa ?nH hftrf a different 1A I VU AU AAJUUJ ???l?VVwr Muv* mwv* ?. ?- ? wife in every state in which he had lived, but that no one would ever be able to secure evidence to eonvict him of bigamy. Miss Lovell, whose father is a man of very modest means, but a highly respected citizen, says that she will have nothing further to do with Chapman and that she wishes him to be punished.

"Like most actors I have always entertained the idea that I possess journalistic ability," said Morton Selten of the KelceyShannon Company the other day. "A few years ago I decided to turn my talents in that direction to some practical account. I picked out one of my choicest effusions and called upon the editor of a big daily, whom I knew personally. After a little preliminary sparring I asked him bluntly how I could get an article in his paper. " "It all depends upon the article you want to get in our paper,' replied the editor. 'If the article is small in bulk, like a hairbrush or a pumpkin pie, spread the paper out on the floor, place the article in the centre, wrap it carefully and tie with a string. This will keep the article fronj slipping out of the paper. If, on the other hand, the article is a portable English bathtub ,or a hatrack, I would advise you not to try it at all.'

A woman who has had experience with this disease, tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call lustily for cough syrup between whoops.?Jesse Pinkey Hall, Springville, Ala. This remedy is for sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. "Is there an author's club in this build- j ingy" asked the individual with long hair, as he stuck his head into the editorial sanctum. "There is," replied the editor, as he snatched a murderous looking bludgeon from the desk and stood up ready for business. Like a Drowning Man. "Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of me t hat I could scarcely go,"writes Geo. S. Marsh, well-known attorney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quantities of pepsin and other medicines but nothing helped me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once andafter afew bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which exHptlv renrndnces the natural digestive ?J - t" - o juices and consequently is the one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble.

In this connection a Georgia darky said of his employer, recently: "He pays me off in co'n meal en homeraise' bacon, en I gits my change in watermillions. I ain't seen a dollar in so long dat I fergits ef dey's a eagle on it, or a bobtail raincrow!" Don't Start Wrong. Don't start the Summer with a lingering cough or cold.

Bamberg Pharmacy; A. C. Reynolds, Ehrhardt. The Washington Times says that a certain Representative from rural Wisconsin, desiring a drink of water before going to bed the other night, found that the bell boy had neglected to leave the customary pitcher in his room. A little search, however, recalled two small buttons on the wall, under one of which was inscribed. "Push twice for water." He pushed as directed and when the bell boy arrived with the water the Congressman was found holding a pitcher under the button. Won't Follow Advice After Paying For It. In a recent article a prominent physician says, "It is next to impossible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any prescribed course of hygiene or diet to the smallest extent; he has but one resort left, namely, the drug treatment."

Senator Kittrsdge, of South Dakota, tells a story about a reception which he attended, which is especially appreciated by some of the "cliff-dwellers," as the Senators who have their offices in the subterranean part of the Capitol are called. One of the guests at the reception was a young man from the West, who was asked to take a glass of wine. "I never drink wine," he said. "Never drink wine?" said the host in surprise. "No," said the }roung man. "So that I cannot induce you to join me?" persisted the host. "No," was his reply. "I don't touch wine, but if you can find me a little plain old rye whiskey I think I could be persuaded to take a drink." Live Stock Attacked by Rats. A strange story is related by Mr. W. R. Cobb, steward of the Oconee poor house, in regard to an attack bv rats on a young cow belonging to Mrs. 6. P. Robins, who lives iust a short distance from Walhalla. About a week ago Mrs. Robius heard a considerable amount of noise in the stable and went to ascertain the cause. Several large rats sprang from the cow's head and ] scampered away. The horns had been gnawed at the ends, and near the cow's i head one horn had been eaten through to the quick and blood was running down i the side of her head. The stable was ] small and the cow did not have sufficient j room to enable her to shake the rodents 1 off. This is the first time we have heard of such an attack on live stock in this part of the country.?Keowee Courier. 1 An Irishman was goingdown the street i on St. Patrick's day in the morning shout- 1 ing vociferously: "Hurrah for owld Ire- < land!"

At tlio funeral of a lawyer of State reputation, who lived and practiced in a town not far from Philadelphia, and who was known among his friends thereabouts as an uubeliever, an eminent gentleman from Philadelphia reached the house after the minister had begun the sermon. Not knowing how far the services had progressed, he accosted a well known Quaker of the town, who was a friend of the deceased, and who was noted for his great sense of humor, and, leaning over his shoulder, asked in a whisper: "What part of the services have they reached?" To which the Quaker, without a smile, replied: "Just opened for the defense."?Philadelphia Times. Stops the CoQ?h and Works off the Cold. Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.

He recently addressed a large assembly of Sunday school children, and wound up by asking in a very paternal way, "And now, is there a-a-n-y little boy or a-a-n-y little girl who would like to ask me a question?" A thin, shrill voice called out: "Please, sir, why did the angels walk up and down Jacob's ladder when they had wings?" "Oh, ah, yes?I see," said the bishop, 'and now, is there a-a-n-y little girl who would like to answer little Mary's question?" Wants Others to Know. "I have used DeWitt's Little Early Risers for constipation and torpiu liver and they are all right.

Iu commenting on Senator McLaurin's refusal to enter the Democratic primary, the Charleston Evening Post fully covers the situation in the following language: "There is no use keeping up the the pretence any longer. McLaurin is out and he went out of his own choice. He had a good case, but he managed it very badly, and from a personal standpoint he is probably wise in refraining from seeking a popular verdict. From the standpoint of the people generally, and particularly of those who gave friendly consideration to the policies he supported, the failure to test the issue is extremely disappointing. But it will have to be tried some day, whether McLaurin be the litigant or another " ' Honey Let Me In." A good story is told on the better-half of a couple who went from a certain county to spend the honeymoon in a large city. One day the bride, tiuding that she i needtid to purchase a few small articles, ] left the young husband and hotel to go t shopping. She returned shortly and t made her way upstairs to the door she 1 thought opened into her own room. 1 Knocking gently at the door: "Honey," i she called affectionately, "let me in." No a response came and she knocked again e and called in insinuating tones, "Honey, \ please let me in." "Madam," answered a gruff voice from within, "This is no beehive, this is the bath-room." ^ There are about 2,000 to 5,000 voters in c this county who believe in expansion of 5 the South's business and opening up new t markets in the east.

No Wonder Thin Child's Brain In All In a Mnddle. The half dozen blocks about Dupont circle include the homes of as many scientists of national reputation. These gentlemen of course know each other and meet frequently. Not long ago one of their neighbors began to wonder whether such intimate intercourse among scientists was a good thing, his cogitation having had its rise in the following incident: His little daughter has just reached the age when she asks 200 questions a day. About a month ago her father spoke of some author as lacking the proper "temperament" for writing on history. That word "temperament" apparently took root in the youngster's mind. What was temperament? She asked that question twice an hour for an entire week. Finally her father gave her a note to Professor and sent her off to find out. That scientist answered the que ry as follows: "Temperament is an individual tendency to the rise of a certain mental state." Father and daughter wrestled with that a little while and then applied to a second member of the scientific group for help. No. 2 called temperament "an ensemble of physical and mental traits arising from fundamental constitutional differences in individuals." This put the little girl's father completely at sea. So No. 3 was tried. His judgment was that "temperament is the psychic resultant of the whole organic life of . the individual." By this time hope #as abandoned. But when No. 4 volunteered to make it clear the family spirits revived. "Temperament is a general disposition of the mind," he wrote, "the distinctions of which depend on the dominance of one or the other of the physiological systems." And now the family dictionary is worn out.?Washington Star. ANTISEPTICS. Th?y Do Not Destroy, It la Said, bat Only Arreat Germ Life. The Edinburgh Scotsman begs leave to correct the erroneous belief that implies that antiseptics can prevent decay. Decay may be arrested without killing the microl^e which would produce it. A few drops of a solution of 1 A Uit/. UVUC UUU KUUt:u lu uuut panir r> jij keep it sweet for a certain time, not because the germs in the paste are destroyed, but because these germs are hindered for the time being in their growth and multiplication and because the paste is rendered temporarily an unsuitable soil foi the growth of whatever microbes may fall from the air into it. When the effect of the acid has worn off and disappeared, we see the paste going to the bad as rapidly as if it had not been treated antiseptically at all, Molds will grow i a it, and it will'decay in the fashion familiar to everybody. It is in this way cold may act as an antiseptic when it is used to preserve meat and fish. There is no destruction, but only arrest of germ life. If we wish to kill microbes, therefore, we not only have to use a disinfectant, but we must employ it in proper proportions and see that it thoroughly attacks the germs we wish to destroy. It is for this reason that all attempts to kill germs which the air may contain are worse than useless. We oanuot "disinfect" the air. If we could do so, we should require to saturate :he air with our germicide to such an extent that to breathe it would kill us. We get an excellent example of this fallacy of "disinfecting air" when we reflect that in usiog burning sulphur to purify a room after a fever case we have to use it in such a way and in such proportion that it is impossible for any person to remain in the room at all. Hiding Beli lad Bis; Words. A mining expert recently described a lode as traversing "a metamorphic matrix of a somewhat argilloarenaceous composition." This means literally 'a changed mass of a somewhat clayeysandy composition." This in its turn may be translated into plain English as m-u-d. Why choke a puny fact with murderous polysyllables?
