The following is from the Greenville News: "Wives and daughters of the State have sent petitions to the Legislature asking for the enaction of the bill pro posing to appropriate $25,000 for the statue of John C. Calhoun, to be erected | in the capitol at Washington. The News would hate to think that it is necessary for the presentation of such requests in order to gain the passage of a bill in tended to honor the name of South Carolina's grandest statesman." The esteemed News is belated with its "hate to think." It is unfamiliar with the recent history of South Caro lina. About 17 years ago a son-in-law of Mr. Calhoun, who had come into pos session of Mr. Calhoun's homestead died, leaving the homestead and other properties actually worth in the aggre gate' about $75,000 to the State of South Carolina for a College conditioned on its bearing the name of the son-in-law, not of Mr. Calhoun, and upon its being governed perpetually by a board of 13 trustees, seven, a majority, being ap pointed under the son-in-law's will and being empowered to elect their own successors forever. This College is now supported in the main by a special class tax paid indirectly by the farmers and directly by fertilizer companies of about $130,000 each year and the Col lege's total annual income is about $160, 000 to $170,000,-fully double the money value of the bequest of Mr. Calhoun's son-in-law. The chief value of the bequest was a sentimental one; it would have been worth something to have built "Calhoun College" at Calhoun's home, but the legislature of South Carolina destroyed as far as it could this senti mental value by deliberately permitting dissociation of the name of the historic homestead and its owner from the Col lege. The legislature could have rejected the "Clemson Bequest" and one year's present income of a "Calhoun College" would have yielded double the money val ue of the bequest.The "CalhonnCollege" could have been built on another spot or if the bequest had been refused per haps the Fort Hill property could ha'" been bought from the heirs. We have at Clem' , ? , _ , legcdr.:?"<l splendid Col a work of great value and doing it, we suppose, as well as could] be expected. But this College is con trolled not by the State of South Caro lina but by the creatures of the Clem son will; hence it is not strictly or pri marily or chiefly a State institution. The farmers through the tag tax each year give $130,000 to what is essentially a private institution and the farmers' money supports an institution for the benefit equally of the banker's, the lawyer's and the mill man's sons. Clem son is the only school in South Caro lina, high or low, to which an editor can send his son without being taxed for the school's support. The farmers pay all the Clemson taxes. We believe in the usefulnesss of Clemson College; we would not have it injured; we are ready to support it whenever it needs friends but that is no reason why the truth should be sup pressed. The acceptance of the Clem son bequest was necessary for the pol itical interests of certain politicians, one of whom proclaimed at the time that he aspired to and would accept no other office than the trusteeship of an agricultural college ?and who has been running for other offices ever since and getting them too. So then and there the State of South Carolina through its General Assembly turned its back on the memory of John C. Calhoun and the most sacred personal associations of his life in South Carolina. The ladies are mistaken. This is no Calhoun State. A greater than Cal houn has come upon the stage. TALBERT SPEAKS PLAINLY. The following is from Mr. Kohn's re port of the Senate proceedings of last Wednesday: "Senator Talbert, in speaking in ad vocacy of his bill, declared that he op posed the dispensary system from A to lzzard, and no did not know that he could swallow any compromise on the subject. He declared that the people had never asked for the dispensary, but it was forced on them. It has become corrupt and appears to be as rot ten as hell itself. He opposes it be cause it places too many temptations before officers. It is a violation of the Lord's Prayer, because the State leads her own citizens into temptation. It mal; . all citizens sellers of liquors, men and women barkeepers indirect ly. He opposed it because the State has no right to monopolize any business, es pecially a damnable one like the dis pensary. He opposed it because it has a tendency to make liquor selling re spectacle, which it cannot be. It en courages the sale and consumption of liquor. It was a false pretence that it was a step towards prohibition; he did not believe those who held out that statement were honest. As a final ar gument he held that the sale of liquor under any system is contrary to the law of God. "He made a lengthy argument in fa vor of prohibition and concluded with an appeal to Senators not to let the crack of the whip of Tillman at Washington drive them against their convictions. As for him, one reason he wants to get rid of the damnable dispensary is that when it goes Ben Tillman will go with it." Senator Talbert represents Edgefield County. He is a son of the Hon. W. Jasper Talbert, sometime candidate for Governor and leading prohibitionist in Edgefield County. In 1902 the effort was strenuously made to draw the lines, old factional lines, in favor of Col. Talbert against Capt. Heywnrd and Col. Talbert carried the county. We shall see whether or not the Tal bert8 will be classed as "Old Antis" hereafter and?no matter how they are classed they will take care of them selves. Whatever else may be said of the Talberts, nobody is going to say that they aro afraid to speak their minds. The young Senator, if ha is like his fa ther, can't be bullied even by a United States Senator. ? Of course when the sewage system is complete, the ladies of Laurens will convert the town into a more beautiful town. At present the public square and the streets are almost as ill kept as those of any city in the State, oxcept, of course, Columbia. ? Any Laurens farmer can do better than to raise cotton at present prices by raising a few mules at present prices. Eleven cents cotton is too cheap for $200 to $300 mules and the farmer who can't get more for his cotton should raise his own mules. ? A typographical error made The Ad vertiser say last weok, "South Caro lina Republicanism not being indefensi ble." It should have been "South Caro lina Republicanism not being defensi ble" and that was what it was intended to say. *% ******* ***** ********** ** $ WISE AND OTHERWISE. ************ ******* *** **** has a stepmother.

Furniture dealers are advocates of brief courtships. Many a man's meanness is due to chronic stomach trouble. Unless a man has faith in his work he will not work faithfully. About the last thing a man wants to think of is his finish. Some men learn to fear treachery by studdying their own natures. There is room at the top for the man who can push the other fellow off. Woman's right furnish a topic for conversation more often than men's wrongs. All women are angels?figuratively speaking?and if wise they'll let it go at that. Among other lost arts is that of keeping one's mouth closed when there's nothing more to say. An old man is as proud of his ability to do a day's work as a young man is of his ability to avoid it. The average woman is willing to patch up a quarrel with her neighbor because of the pleasure it affords her to rip the patch off again.- Chicago News.

Tfc* Wonderful Vnctor It Im tu tum DIalutearratlon of Hooka. Tlie rain falling on tho rocks sinks Into every crack aud crevice, carrying with it into these assures surfucc mate rial which has been degraded by tho weather and thus affording u matrix sulHclcut to start the growth of vege tation and afterward to maintain the plants. The libers and roots of these pluuta, bushes and trees thus brought Into life, growing and expanding, uct as wedges to split up the surface of tho rock and to commence the process of wearing away. From this quality of destruction a large chiHS of plants derive tho name of saxifrages, or rock breakers, from their roots penetrating into the minute llssures in search of water and so ussistlng in the process of disintegration. lu winter the water collected in the hollows and ere vices becomes frozen and, expanding as it changes into ice, acts like a charge of blasting material In breaking up the rock. Tho pieces thus detached be come further disintegrated by frost and weather and, being rolled over and over and rubbed against each other as they are carried away down the moun tain torrents, are ground .gradually smaller and smaller till from frag ments of rock they become bowlders, then pebbles and llnally sand. As tho mountain stream merges Into the riv er the pebbles and coarse sand con tinue to be rolled along the bottom of the channel, while the raglllaceous par ticles und salts become mingled with tho water and How on with It either In suspension or solution. While this disintegrating process Is going ou inland the rocks aud cliffs on the coast exposed to tho sea are suf fering degradation by a similar proc ess and are also being worn away by the Incessant action of the waves of tho ocean beating on them aud attack ing them not only with the impact of the water, but also with the fragments broken off, which, dashed against the face from which they have eroded, uro thus used as Implements of destruc tion. THE GARDEN OF EDEN. It* Location a. Mystery That Will l'robably Never De Solved. The location of the earthly paradise or garden of Eden Is still a matter of dispute among orientalists and Scriptu ral scholars of highest reputation. Some havo endeavored to locate It by the fruits and mineral productions named in tho Biblical descriptions as they ap pear lu the second chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned lu verses 11 to 14 of the above mentioned chapter. The weight of Investigation and tradition Inclines to an agreement that the Tigris and the Euphrates of modern geography are the third and fourth rivers mentioned In the Biblical description of the garden. Those who agree so far differ widely as to what rivers should now bo regarded as the ancient l'lson and Gihon. Tho Bud dhistic scholars, although thev rcicct our Bible in the greater part ' the opinion that rh*",lUto to Ca?"? ' * 'son '8 *?? 8ncr?d ... und that the CJthon Is none other than the Nile. As to tho last, It Is altogether probable that they ore correct on that point, because tho Bibli cal account plainly says that Gihon "compnsseth tho whole laud of Ethi opia." Somo Investigations confirm that Eden was a spot of comparatively small area located on tho tablelands of what Is now Armenia, from which rise the Tigris and the Euphrates. A few scholars of distinction argue that tho Adamic paradise was located in Africa In tho vicinity of tho mountains of tbe Moon. Still another school of oriental ists locato the celebrated garden In the vicinity of the ancient city of Babylon. You will notice, however, that none of these theorists has been able to get the four rivers mentioned In the Bib lical account properly located. Neither have they found a place where one great river "separates into four heads." This being tin? ease, it Is hardly neces sary to add that the exact location of Eden Is a mystery that will probably never he solved. The Scott of tbe Middle Akcn. John Florissant, born in 1837, Is call ed the Walter Scott of tho middle ages. He was a churchman and a scholar. Living as he did In unsettled times, be fore nationality had become well de veloped, ho was destitute of patriotism and, therefore, more reliable as a cos mopolitan chronicler. lie traveled In France, Scotland, Italy and other coun tries. Ills chronicles are the result of his own observations and are valued as a faithful portrayal of the places, cus toms and manners of tho people during his time, although not so reliable as his tory. The Word "Opera." Tho word "opera" Is a caso of verbal specialization. Yet tho Latin word meant originally not.dug more definite than "work." The specialization, how ever, was thorough even In tho time of Dryden, who defined an onor*t as "a poetical tale of fiction, rep- ' ?d by verbal and Instrumental m lorn ed with scenes, machines an. ig," but the specinl!?atlon Is sc. ore remarkable than that of .nn," which means Just "deed," "a don," or of "poor," which Is simply "maker." A Pithy Sermon. Here Is tin? plthlest sermon ever preached: "Our Ingress into life Is naked and bare, our progress through life Is trouble and care, our egress out of It we know not where; but, doing well here, we shall do well there. I could not tell more by preaching a year." He that Is ungrateful has no fault but one. All other crimes may pass for virtues In him.?Young.
