We beg to remind our people, in all sincerity, that they may build as many stores as they will but unless they do something to bring new population and trade here, the buildings will be empty after awhile. They do things over in Georgia pretty much as we do in South Carolina. In the prison investigation over there last ~ week, in the matter of whipping a white woman convict, the warden was 4 'exonerated " but he at once " resigned." This sounds very much like the results of a South Carolina investigation. **# It is announced that Vincent Chicco, the notorious blind tiger keeper, is to make the race for Alderman in the city of Charleston. In the light of events in - - that city for the last few years, this seems . to be rather a logical proceeding on his kpart. Possibly he'll be applying for membership in the St. Cecilia next. The"State of South Carolina has been forced to borrow $200,000 to pay current expenses, and it is said that the full - -11 j i? i? AonAftftn amount auoweu uy mw, ,WVj n ?u | have to be borrowed before the close of the present fiscal year. And yet we are prosperous and the State's finances are in good condition?when an appropriation ir it to be made by the general assembly! *** It is a great pity that Senator Tillman's ; speeches in the North and West on the frace question were not more on the order of those of John Temple Graves, of Georgia. Graves makes the position of the Southern people as strong as we could wish for, but he does it with all the graces of a polished orator and pleasing rhetoric. In other words, the hand is only gloved. That free pass business has estranged many of Senator Tillman's strongest friends and supporters, and it is likely that all this free railroad riding will turn out to be more expensive to him than if he had paid his fare. His frieuds forgave his hypocrisy once, but they will not do it again. The Senator should take seriously to heart the old maxim that " honesty is the best policy." ? ? No one we believe would oppose in the abstract the principle of assessing property for taxation at its true value. It V would make no difference in the amount each one would have to pay?provided the system could be made uniform. Really, too, it is the only fair and just way of assessing property. But the truth might as well come out: Property will never be ?.nvt.hincr like the market P|j|' value as long as the present extravagance H in our State government is indulged in. Now each county wants to dodge as much of the tax for State expenses as possible, and it makes no difference how high the % : county levy is made. Then, too,.we have the constitutional tax-dodger, and it is certain that a man can no more be legislated honest than rich. As long as the present condition of affairs obtains, this :'7 newspaper will be in favor of returning property as low as possible. We are not in favor of the hard-working people of our county paying more taxes in proportion than the balance of the State, the money to be extravagantly spent by those in authority. ~ " 7" ~ Denmark Doings.

After having seen all the historic places in and around the city, the visitor decides to visit the Naval Academy. Down Maryland avenue, a picturesque old street^ he drives up to the gateway of the grounds of the Academy. On passing through, one is met by a sentinel of the Marine Corps, who directs you how to proceed through the grounds. The street along which you walk leads down to the engine house of the tire department. Before going so far down, however, one is bound to stop and gaze at the hundreds of old cannon and implements of war, which have been captured in our several j wars and which now adorn the walks! and drives through the Academy grouuds. Just below Blake Row, a beautiful street upon which is situated the officers' quarters, one runs up against a great long torpedo, captured during the battle of Santiago; then comes a number of rapid-fire guns, which were taken off the sunken Spanish gun-boats. Grouped artistically around the so-called "upper classmen" benches, are four huge bronze cannon captured at Santiago, when that city surrendered to Gen. Shafter. These guns are of an obsolete design, and were moulded in 1749 in a French arsenal. They bear the Frence Empire'^ coat-ofarms, and after being eaptnred by the Spanish in a European war, were sent to iTTAfta o nro inct Kn V/UUB, V>UCIC IUCJ ncic uom agaiu>n English in 1763, against the Cuban {>atriots in tbeir many struggles for iberty, and were finally turned against the men in blue, as they charged up San Juan Hill. At this point a walk leads off from the main road up to the main barracks. On both sides of this are also many captured guns. Here are to be seen mortars moulded in France, cannon brought over from Spain, and great smooth-bore guns captured in the Revolution. All these guns with their fancy finishings, bear a strong contrast to two six-inch guns mounted in their mantels, which were taken from the wreck of the Spanish cruiser Viscaya. In this great collection of obsolete guns, we see the changes which have taken place in warfare from the time of the cumbersome smooth-bore to the great rifled gun of modern times. Turning off for a few steps, we find ourselves at the pedestal of a beautiful monument erected to the memory of the men of our navy, who fell in the war with Tripoli. Among those whose names appear upon this shaft are Somers, Wordsworth, Decatur. Returning to the walk, we stroll on up to the main barracks, where we are met by the officer of the day, who directs you to the commandant's" office. Here you may obtain permission to go through part of the building. The receptiouroom is a neat little room crowded with the laurels, which the midshipmen have won by their skill. On the walls hang portraits of many of the Navy's famous men, along with paintings of some of the greatest of naval conflicts, and some of our old Historic war vessels. Down the long hall we walk into thej dining hall. The walls of this are, also, decorated with trophies, which have been captured by the midshipmen, and paintings of Admirals Stewart, Nicholson, Perry, Commodores Truxtun, Montgomery and Hull. From the dining hall, where every day six hundred and fifty hungry young men take their meals, it is only a short walk up a flight of stairs to the cadet barracks, j All of them are exactly alike and iu number 83 we see how ail are arranged. The furniture consists of two single! beds, two iron washstands, two mirrors, two lockers, in which all clothing is kept, one large table with two drawers, and two chairs. The floor is neatly painted and upon it are two small rugs Each man has a broom and must keep the room perfectly clean as long as his! tour of duty lasts. The rooms are j lighted by electricity, heated by steam and well ventilated. On the inside of the locker door the midshipmen are allowed to hang photographs, and this makes the room look neat, and not so bare as those in some military barracks. The main building is a four storied structure and quarters about three hundred men; besides, it contains all the main otfices, dining room and kitchen. From the rear of the building one gets a 1 beautiful view of the athletic field, the new annexes, Goldborough How and the Marine Cemetery. Leaving these points for another time, we pass again out the front way and wander down to "Lovers Lane." This is a beautiful little walk windiug through the tall trees, where only upper classmen are allowed to stroll. In the center rises a plain marble shaft to Lieut. Herndon, who was killed in battle in 1857. Further on down is the band stand, an artistic little structure, and just below this hangs a quaint old bell. This bell was brought from Japan in 1858 by Commodore Perry when he made his famous voyage to that country. The bell is seven hundred and fifty-five years old, and is beautifully hung on an Oriental mount. The tones are exceedingly soft and beautiful and shows what great learning the Japanese have had in times past. Inscribed on the outside in Japanese characters is a full account of the casting, its maker, aud its presentation to the United States. Just here the walk is stopped on account of the great building being erected. This is the new quarters and will be completed in about two years time. To our right is the chapel and Blake Row; to the left the naval observatory and the library. These we will visit next. (To be continued). News from Olar.

Bamberg is not accounted the center of the tobacco industry of the State and is , not even in what is called the tobacco ( belt, aud yet the only successful tobacco ! factory in the State is there. For a number of years a factory in that county has made good smoking and plug tobacco from weed grown right at the doors. That tobacco has been sold in Florence. It was good tobacco. Now the business men of Bamberg propose to put in the money to enlarge the plant aud its operations. That story is mighty good for Bamberg, but it looks very much like a 1 | reflection on the towns of the Pee Dee j section, where so much tobacco is made ! and every pound of it shipped off, while | a fine building put up for a tobacco fac| tory and well equipped is standing idle in Florence which might be a big tobacco I manufacturing town. Don't listen to | people who say we can't manufacture it, [ they used to say we could not grow it.? ' Florence Times. Borrows $10,000 More. As was stated in The Record several days ago, the State of South Carolina will have to borrow the full $300,000 allowed by law for general expenses. The State treasurer yesterday made arrangements to borrow $10,000, which runs the total borrowed so far up to about $200,000. There are yet four months of the fiscal year and there is no doubt but that the full amount will have been borrowed before that time. ?Columbia Record. Suicide Preyeated.

About two weeks ago Judge Lewis, ' while takiug a bath, backed up and made 1 a rear-end connection with a red-hot 1 stove, and ever since that time he has ( been compelled to stand up and eat his \ meals from a shelf. The accident has been a source of much pain to the Judge ever since it happened and was the cause of his riding over to Tishomingo last Sunday to see the ball game seated on a 1 pillow. While the game was in progress, besides nearly getting into a fight ' with a Tishomiugo bluffer, a swift curve thrown by the pitcher caught him just two inches below aud a little to the right 1 of the lower front vest button.

Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is just as good for children as it is for adults. Children thrive on it. It keeps their little stomachs sweet and encourages their growth and development. Mrs. Henry Carter, 705 Central Street, Nashville, Teun.,says: "My little boy is now three years old and has been suffering from indigestion ever since he was born. I have had the best doctors in Nashville, but failed to do him any good. After using one bottle of Kodol he is a well baby. I recommend it to all sufferers."

Abbey, ae distinguished illustrator and paint- j r, was a small boy he had the habit f critically scrutinizing every dish that ras set before him at the table, much d the embarrassment of his family, lis frequent dismissals from the table rere but ineffective reproofs, and omething had to be done to work a ure. "Eddie," said his mother one day, "I eard thee speak about going to Cousin lartha's for dinner next Sunday, and am afraid we will have to make thee bay at home until thee learns politeless at the table. Thy picking at food rould mortify me." This threatened deprivation reduced he boy to tears, and after he had solmnly promised not to look at every- _ hing according to his habit he was * 4.A.A. t. - i Old null uu mifciii The day came, and a large and mery family gathered to do justice to a empting meal. Each of the little folks lad a glass of delicious rich country nilk at his place. Noticing that Edwin was surreptilousiy glancing at his glass, Mrs. Ab>ey observed, with a well understood neaning, "Edwin, why art thou not Irinking thy milk?" With a determined air the boy hastiy picked up the glass and, shutting his ;yes as tight as possible, gulped its lontents down. This sudden procedure attracted the ittention of all the guests, and, fearing it least a severe scolding, the boy ex;laimed, "I did it, mother; I?I swal- iowed it." "Swallowed what?' hurriedly asked tfrs. Abbey, now more alarmed than imused. "Those two flies that got in my milk. But I swallowed them, mother; I swalowed thetnl"?Isadore Hedges in Lalies' Home Companion. ' POULTRY POINTERS. Laying hens must have meat or milk. Always feed some whole grain at night Early hatched chickens usually make the best breeding fowls. Feeding a little at a time and often is better than overfeeding at any time. A liberal use of ground bone will correct the tendency to laying soft shelled eggs. Keeping fowls on hard floors will frequently cause swollen feet and legs. They must have some loose ground to scratch over. : Turkeys must have a good range to be profitable. They are insect eaters by i nature and need a good range in order I to thrive well and grow economically. After the ducks and geese are through laying the feathers should be picked regularly. The time to pick them is when the feathers are ripe and before the fowls begin to lose them. What a True Scholar la. The scholar in the true sense is the man or woman for whom the schools have done their best The scholar knows some one thing thoroughly and can carry his knowledge into action. < With this he must have such knowl- j edge of related subjects and of human i life as will throw this special knowl- 1 edge into proper perspective. Anything J less than this is not scholarship. The man with knowledge and no perepec* j tlve Is a crank, a disturber of the peace, who needs a guardian to make his knowledge useful. The man who has ^ common sense, but no special training, may be a fair citizen, but he can exert little influence that makes for prog- J ress. There may be a wisdom not of books, but it can be won by no easy nrvwM To rain wisdom or skill in " school or out, is education.
