LAUKHNS, H. C, Jan. 15, 1002. Chips of News. Carnegie's gift of ten millions to the ] United States for a Bolentifio univer sity at Washington hm been satisfac torily arranged. The gift is to be in bonds boariug live per cout interest. This is the largest donation for a pub lie beneficiary purpose ever made. Protection and high tariff, monopoly and trusts, the curse of the many makes this great donation a possibility, but Carneglo deserves credit withal. Not withstanding that ho is par excellence the Croesus of tho ago we hear of no scandal associated with his name. He is making a good use of his riches. Sheridan, the English wit, was visit ing at a country Iiouso in England whon the Bishop of the diocese acci dentally dropped in on the same house hold. Invited to preach on tho follow ing Sabbath and stating that bo had nolthor subject nor sermon; Sheridan promptly agreed to prepare the sermon and on the following morning it wasl laid at the Bishop's plate beautifully { written and tied with blue ribbon? the subject: "Tho Abuse of Riches.' "Whon the sermon was delivered it was fun.:d to refer to a stingy rich man of tbe neighborhood who controlled the whole parish and tho Bishop had to re tire in great disorder. Liberal propositions are proposed to I Cuba as to hor sugar coming into the United States. A batch of Louisiana | planters, who cultivate sugar, will but tonbolo our Congressmen in opposition to tbo measure. There are moro than seventy-live millions of peoplo In the United States interested in the con sumption of sugar. That old story in the Bluo Hack Speller about whoso ox is gored will never become inappro- ] priato. Alico Koosovelt, daughter of the President, has boon selected to chris ten a yacht now building in the United States for Emperor Williams. It Is a pretty complimont to tho American girl. It should bo kept in mind that she is tho grand-daughter of a Georgia lady. The glorious old liberty bell duly ar arrived In Charleston and had a patri otic reception in the old city by the sea. All of us will go down in Febru ary or March to help out our friends who live under tho shadow of grand old Fort Sumpter. The canal bill passed tbo lowest bouse of Congress for the Nicaraugua route, though The Advertiser thinks the Panama routo is preferable and the French proposition to sell it should bo accepted. Palma has been chosen Hrst Presi-I dent of Cuba. **? Good Roads. This seems to be the voxata quaes tio, the harrowing question of these times. We suppose it gave trouble three thousand years ago as ,Kwp has a fablo about a poor fellow "stuck in tho mud" und calling on Jupiter, (passing in a cloud), to help in his trouble. Archimedes, a groat Mathe matician, was in his bath, when all at once the solution of tho 47th Problem of Euclid Hashed across his mind. He was so elated that he ran through the stroots in a nude state, crying?"eu reka"?I have found it?I have found it. Tho man who solves tho question of making economically, bard and smooth roads for South Carolina, will deserve to have bis name perpetuated for all time. The Bell. The old liberty Bell is in Charleston and camo down from Philadelphia un- ! der a splondid escort, meeting a patri otic ovation throughout the Southern itineracy. It is well to respect the relics of a glorious past?to which we owe all that is worth regarding in this commercial and dollar for dollar I age. Those who do not look with pride upon the pust are not apt to have high ideals of the future. It may bo senti meiitalism, but there is In the human heart a sense of the beautiful which should be nurtured, if men are to con tinue to have souls as well as bodies. The press with one voice in South Carolina encore the demand made I sometime ago by The Adveutiser that our Governor should veto the free DMs law. The Advertiser has thel highest regard for our public officials | and the greatest confidence in their in tegrity but This Advertiser has some inkling about what has been written about the llesh being weak. Probably nobody will bo bribed by a free pass amounting to some twenty dollars or so a year, and regarding it as a mere courtesy, a courtesy is worth more to officials than mere money. Let us however have our public officials, as Geasar would have his wife, above suspicion. Governor McSweeny should not sleep, eat or wink until he vetoes tho bill repealing tbe free pass law of the grand old Stato of South Carolina The news comes to us, second-hand, but straight, that Hon. M. K. Cooper, I Secretary of Htnto, will not be a candi date for Governor next year. That) will put the Seacoasb solidly behind Capt. D. C. Hoy ward, and It is the general low country belief that the man who boats the Colleton candidate will bo the next governor.?Barnwell People. One of tho beautiful things about our republican (Imperial) Goverment ia that?any body can run for ofllco that wants to?and thoy do. President Koosovelt is unfortunate in finding a surplus of a hundred mil lion in the treasury. Press, people, and President are concerned what to do with it. Why. not "blow It in" on Edward's coronation! Wo are now a World Power and in duty bound to I civilize the world. It becomes our' mission on that great festival occasion. Wo might astonish tho little, powers of the earth with our magnitude and mag nificeuco. Any remnant, wo might be stow on our venerated mother, En gland, and fling in the Philliptnes.; ? * * Southern farmers and especially in South Carolina, are being warned against tbo cotton boll evil, that ap peared last Summer. It la therefore well to be wise, in time and think about oats, corn, noas and potatoes-. In some localities the boll evil or wevll did harm in this county last year. * ? . i .I..? i- i i i i HEADS SHOULD NEVER ACHE. Never endure this trouble Use at] once the remedy that stopped It for Mrs. N. A.

A weak stomach does not di gest? all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets, tired easily, and what it fuils to digea& is wasted. Among the signs of a weak stomach are uneasiness nftor eating, fits of ner vous headache, and disagreeable belch ing. "I bavo taken Hood's Snrsnparllla nt different times for stomach troubles, ami a run down condition of the system, and have been greatly benefited by Its use. I would not be without It In my family. I am trou bled especially in summer with weak stom ach and nausea and fled Hood's Sarsaparllla invaluable." E. 11. Hickman, W.Chester, Pa.

The fiold is wide open, like the gates of Janus during war times and all may enter. Lau rens, next August, will plok out an able, clean-handed, clean-breasted, and patriotic citizen and push him along. In this connection and with a record as white as snow, we may urge and push to the front our bright fellow cltizan?- Hon. C. C. Foatherstone. We utterly and teeto taly forgot to mention that McLaurln will probably bo in tho field to suc ceed McLaurin. * # lion. D. R. Dnucan. The Advertiser regrots to note that this noble son of South Carolina, ex-Solloitor of the 7th Circuit, has not recovered from a recent illness. The State never had a more genial, compan ionable and honorable son. He is w<thall a very able gonllemau, an hon or to Spartanburg county and South Caro'ioa. Wo would rejolco to hoar of his complete recovery to strong health and usefulnoss. * Appoint incuts for South Carolina. The President sent tho following to the Senate to be postmasters: Greenwood, David Aiken; Laurons, George S. McGravy; Union, J. 0. Hunter; Winnsboro, Preston Kion; Newberry, Charles J. Purcell. "Some men are born great, fcuio achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." *** Corn. This is a good year to plant early sorghum. An early variety of corn should be planted to a small extent and the land highly manured. In this way bread corn can be had by the 10th of July. The Derst varioties are all right. Farmers may unite and order the seed In quantity and get it reason ably. V During the glorious woather of last week wise farmers, finished up sowing wheat. They are encouraged to this expedient by the present scarcity and prospective high prices of breadstuffs and feed for stock. *?* Gorman of Maryland will como back to tho Senate Good, .hotter, best. * * * How's This?
