Greeting.
* To all whom these Presents may
come, all the readers of Tub Advkr
tihkk?old, middle aged and young
sters?A Happy Christmas Greeting.
Tub Advbktisbk for a whole year
has done its best to make all cheerful
and happy. The A dvbktisbk adheres I
to its Motto?"Don't take things too)
seriously." In every chimney corner,
in the mansion of the well -to-do, in
the comfortable cottage, in the hum
blest cot and hut, there should be an
aged, venerablo, Grandma to tell us?
"It might bo worse."
Remcmbor that millions are crowded
in the collars and garretts of cities and
In the slums, that know nothing but |
hardtimes and want. We of the South,
the poorest of us, are better off than
those, than thousands, than millions
Christmas is our carnival and tho times I
may bo hard, but u Christian spirit]
bids all bo hopoful.
All the ills of lifo were confined in I
Pandora's Box. When an idle curiosity
opened it, they lied abroad and the Hu j
being closed only Hope was left.

Geu. Miles, head of our army, hasl
the reputation of being fond of dress
and show, and criticised for a tendency
to ostentation. But he was for Sehley
and Dewey. Tho couriers in the Con
federate Army as a rule were dandies
of the first water and ndorncd in gold
lace, fonthei's and ribbons, but were no
toriously tho bravest of the bravo. An
-Old Democrat succeeded Randall, of
Philadelphia, in Congress. Ho had a]
fresh pair of silk stockings for every
day in tho year, but he was level head
ed and true as steel. You can't always |
know a man by his dress, bo it plain or
gaudy.
But tho advice of old Polonlus to his
son Laertes starting upon his travels]
was very sound:
"Give every man thine oar, but few
thy voice.
Take each man's censure; but reserve |
thy judgment,
Costlv thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed In fancy,
For tho apparel oft proclaims the man."
* ? * * * ?
The old gentleman adds a few othor
suggestions which we will quot) for
the benefit, of our young readers, who|
may have occasion to leave the domos- ]
tlo hearth:
"Neither a borrower, nor a londor bo,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls tho edge of
husbandry."
There is other good and wholosome
advice that tho old gentleman gives
that might bo appropriate to a New
Year, but another wise saying stares
us in the faco and wo forbear: "It is!
easier to give, than to take advice,"
V
Chips of Now:.
Secretary of the Navy, Long, ap-1
proves tho finding cf tho Inquiry
Court, which condemns Schley. This
will probably close the big soandal.
The head of the army, Lieut. Gen.
Miles, is severely censured by the Pres
ident for giving bis views of the mat
tor.
Pecretary Lodge is intimate with the J
President, but he resents being dubbed j
chief of tho kitchen Cabinet.
Postmaster General, Smith, has re
signed his portfolio, and it is said Gage
of the Treasury, ond Long of the Navy
will follow suit. McKinley was a poli
tician and put thinkers In the Depart
men's. Headstrong rulers don't want
thinkers, but tools to do their behests.
Roosevelt will run all the departments
of the government.
V
Thore is a proposition to increase the
salary of Comrres?men, ? now $5,000 a
year, to $30,000. Tho statesmen have
probably heard of tho price of corn
-and it8 products.

Editoh Advertiser:
Information in regard to the Exposi
tion was very Indefinite when we left
home three days ago. To thoso inter
ested we will be glad to tell that,
thought still very incomplete tho build
ings on the grounds are more advanc
ed than we had expected to Hud tbem.
And how beautiful they will bo whon
comploted! Naturo has dono much
and art Is transforming these old colo
nial grounds into a veritable fairy
land.
[n the Woman's Building, the "Mecca
of our pilgrimage," the sound of the
saw and the hammer are heard no
more. The many booths are ready for
occupation and busy fingers are muk
lng them very beautiful.^ Just across
the aisle from our No 7, Spartanburg
has her booth already dono. The
walls and drapiops are in dark red
which makes nn effective back-ground
for pictures and too for show cases in
which all articles are seourely looked.
By a handsomely draped arch it is sep
arated from Hampton county. Our
sister Greenville Is our partner, from
which we will be separated in our
booths, 10 x 12 by dainty drapings. No
one from Greenville is hero yet, but a
little farther on Nowborry and Orange
burg ladies aro busy putting their ox
hiblt in order;?tho latter draping their
walls in orange satin.
We felt comforted when wo saw tho
loans from other counties?Laurons
will not be behind; our exhibit will
be tho equal of any othor. Our ''Joan
D'Arc" so kindly loaned by Miss Laura
Wright is not excelled by anything we
have seen. Then our tapestry, due by
Miss Mary Simpson's artistic genius
would be splendid In any collection.
To Mies Mary we are also undor obli
gations for exquisite hand-painted
china. Also to hire. "V7. K Lucas,"Mrs.
Joseph Sullivan, Miss Mary B. Holmes
and to Mrs. John Davis for old china
from 'Scotland.
Miss Lila Hart collected $2ti.G0 and
Miss Sara Davis $9.00. Of tho expen
diture of this money an itemized ac
count will bo given.
Yesterday we had a charming sail'
around the Bay with tho Press Associ
ation; then up Cooper River to the
Naval Yard, back to tho Bay and up
the Ashley to Exposition grounds. It
was a jolly party.

Baltimore, Md , March ,v>, 1001.
CentUmtn : ? Beitip entirely cured of deafness, thnnks to your treatment, I wilt now give jrou
a full history of my case, to be used at your dfscretion.
About five year* ago my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, (he most eminent ear specialis of this city, who told mc tha*
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected car would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had med it cnlyafew days necordin? to your directions the noises ceased, and
(?-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseatied car has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain
