The General Assembly should pass a bill requiring the proceeds of the fer tilizer tag tax to be paid into the State treasury, and Clemson College should ?! supported by direct appropriation, as e other State institutions are sup ?ted. WILL BE REPEALED. The farmers of South Carolina are determined that the lien law shall be repealed, and the prospect is that the General Assembly will pass the Rich ards repeal bill at the approaching ses sion. The Advertiser has been urg ing that the law be repealed for years. The fight for repeal in the General Assembly is led by Representative John G. Richards, Jr., a strong young man who enjoys the confidence of his legis lative associates to a very marked de gree. ______ THIRTY-ONE NOMINATED. About half a dozen good men and true and more or less great are recognized candidates for the United States Senate and about half a dozen more are "men tioned." The State contains about five hundred others who measure well to the average of those under discussion and it may be worth while to name some who might be considered. Here goes: General M. C. Butler, Eugefield; George B. Cromer, Newberry; Neils Christensen, Jr., Beaufort; Walter H. Hunt, Newberry; John C. Sheppard, Edgefield; John G. Richards, Jr., Ker shaw; H. Y. Simpson, Laurens; C. C. Featheretone, Laurens; L. W. Youmans, Barnwell; Henry Mullins, Marion; P. A. Wilcox, Florence; Thomas G. Kirkland, Camden; Howard Carlisle, Spartanburg; Col. T. J. Moore, Spartanburg; Lewis W. Parker, Greenville; Samuel Dibble, Orangeburg; Walter Hazard, George town; A. E. Gonzales, Richland; C. D. Bellinger, Richland; R. T. Jaynes, Oco nee; Robert P. Hamer, Marion;" T. Y. Williams, Lancaster; Richard I. Mann ing, Sumter; Major J. L. Coker, Darl ington; W. H. Wallace, Newberry; S. J. Simpson, Spartanburg; D. A. Town send, Union; Thomas McDow, York; Judge George W. Gage, Chester; Paul Hemphil, Chester. These are a few names worth consid eration. There are others. We may mention eight or ten others before the time for closing the entry list. COLLEGE EDUCATION BY MAIL. Teaching by correspondence has been a recognized feature of educational work in this country for a number of years. Some of the "correspondence schools" have done good work and some of them are humbugs. Nearly all of them have confined their work to prac tical branches, such as bookkeeping, stenography and drawing. A correspondence school of another character has been organized in New York. Its work is conducted by pro fessors of such institutions as Yale, Cornell, Columbia and Rutgers. Fifty dollars is the tuition charge for the course, and the design is to offer oppor tunities to men who wish to do real college or university study, but who are unable to attend the institutions in per son. Tho following, from a New York newspaper, will give some idea of the plan: The School of Liberal Arts and Scien ces for Non-Residents has opened head quarters in the Presbyterian Building, 156 Fifth avenue. Students about New York will be provided for i from these headquarters. Another executive of fice has been opened in the Times Build ing, Pittsburg. Presently another of fice will be opened in Boston, and from time to time, if the idea takes well, other offices will be opened in the South and Middle and Far West. The council and trustees give their services without nay. The professors who have active charge of the courses arc paid for their services. These pro fessors prepare the courses of instruc tion, and to them the student mails his fortnightly answers covering the print ed questions sent him in the courso he is taking. The professors correct the papers and send them back. The Educational Council of the school consists of: Hamilton W. Mabie, LL.D., asso ciate editor of The Outlook. John H. Finley, LL.D., president of the City College. Albert Shaw, LL.D., editor of the Review of Reviews. Talcott Williams, LL.D., editor of tho Philadelphia Press. John A. Brashear, Sc. D% LL.D., Pittsburg. John C. VanDyke, L. H. D.. Li brarian of Sage Library and Professor of Art History, Rutger s College. George Hodges, D. D., Doanof Epis copal Theological School, Cambridge. Josephus Nelson Lamed, Historian, Buffalo. Edwin D. Mead, Boston. The instruction offered for the first active year includes courses in Conti nental, European, English and Ameri can History; civic government in the United States; comparative politics and city government; English literature and composition; education and the history of the fine arts. Other courses will be added from time to time. We print this for tho benefit of men who desire more education. Many a professional and business man in a town like Laurens wastes years of leis ure because he does not study under competent direction. The plan la worth ? inquiring into. LARGE FAMILIES. "1 Bonaparte Was One of Thirtecn-Wash iDXtO? Out of Eleven. A writer in .the popular Science Monthly, by consulting the biographies of 76 of the most eminent, men whom the race has produced, finds',most of them were members of very large fam ilies; that on the average they had six brothers and sisters apiece and that Thackeray, Robert L. Stevenson, John Ruskin and Alexander Hamilton were about the only instances of notable sin gle offspring. Horace Walpole was one of 19 chil dren, Benjamin Franklin one of 17, John Marshall one of 16, Peter the Great one of 14, Napoleon Bonaparte one of 13, Samuel Adams, Sir Walter Scott, James Fenimore Cooper and Alfred Tennyson members of families containing 12, Lord Nelson and Wash ington Irving members of families con taming 11, Washington, Webster, Chase, Carlyle, Cromwell and Henry George members of families containing 11. Grover Cleveland's father had nine children, and four of his other ances tors, reaching back in a straight line, had families ranging from 10 to 13 chil dren?an unprecedented record. Jeffer son, Huxley and Dickens were each one of eight children, and Madison, Clay, Tilden, Martin Luther, Longfellow, Bryant and Paul Jones each one of seven. This writer gives the facts and does not attempt to theorize on them, beyond noting that the members of large fami lies have been apt to show marked firmness and independence?perhaps be causo they were not coddled and in dulged by their parents, and even in childhood had to look out for them selves. We shall imitate the modera tion of the writer, and until his sugges tive but incomplete data have been fur ther buttressed wo content ourselves with a single and perhaps obvious ex planation of his facta. The bigger the family the more chance it has of pro ducing an uncommon individual. The father of 17 sons has just 17 times as many chances of seeing a eon grow famous as the father of one. He can have "a fool in the family," and even several of them, and still have a margin of good material to draw from in his patriotic hopo of rearing a future American president. Stomach Trouble Cured. If you have any trouble with your stomach you should take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Mr. J. P. j Klote, of Edina, Mo., says: "I have used a great many different medicines for stomach trouble, but find Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets more beneficial than any other remedy I ever used." For sale by Laurens Drug Co. An Enjoyable Concert. The concert given at the city opera house Saturday evening by the Chris tine Giles Recital Company under the auspices of the Lyceum course was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the audience. Quite a large crowd had gathered to hear this company which had come well recommended and none were disap pointed. Miss Giles delighted her hearers with her sweet voice and exquisite music. Her violin numbers were beautifully rendered and her mastery of the instru ment superb while her charm of per sonality delighted her audience. Miss Evelyn Lewis, reader and ac companist, is an entertainer of much talent and ability. Her readings were well selected and well delivered and her enunciation and impersonation almost perfect. Her story of the "Shaker" community was very interesting and her selections from Frank L. Stanton, in negro dialect, were lndicrous in the extreme. Mr. Leon C. Bachelder, flute soloist, is a brilliant musician of remarkable skill, his various selections being much enjoyed. The Pure Food Law. Secretary Wilson says, ''One of the objects of the law is to inform the con sumer of the presence of certain harm ful drugs in medicines." The law re quires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit form ing drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not con tain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. [This remedy is not only one of the I safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during the many years it has been in general use. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. Will Recommend Seven Mill Levy. Gov. Ansel has completed his annual message to the Legislature, and it will be ready for distribution among the members and for reading in both Houses of the General Assembly as soon as that body organizes, Tuesday. The message will be read with great interest this year by those who have watched the course of Gov. Ansel dur ing his first twelve months of service. As already mentioned, he will make some recommendations that will doubt less create considerable discussion. He will call attention to the necessity for an increase in the salaries of Stato officials, nearly every one of whom are now living up to or beyond their means, especially the governors for the past three or four administrations. He will also call attention to the need for a now executive mansion, the pres ent building being both out of date and badly in need of repairs. On tho sub ject of taxation he will recommend an increase in the levy of two mills in or der that the State might get on a cash basis, and will probably endorse reports along the line made by former offi cials. The entire message, especially that part relating to the administration of the Carey-Cothran law, will be studied with care by the General Assembly and the press of tho State. "I am heartily in favor of tho repeal of the lien law," said Gov. Ansel, "and will recommend this in my message." Fever Sores. Fever sores and old chronic sores should not be healed entirely, but they should be kept in healthy condition. This can be done by applying Chamber lain's Salve. This salvo has no su perior for this purpose. It is also most excellent for chapped hands, sore nip ples, bums and diseases of the skin. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. STATE RECOVERS TAX ON WHISKY ConMftlBsiooer Capers Decides That the (Jovcrnmcnt Should [Refund Amount Paid by South .Carolina. Washington, January 11. ? In the matter of the claim of the State of South Carolina for the refunding of the amount paid by it as taxes alleged to be due from the retail dispensaries of that State for the Bale of fermented malt liquor sold in wholesale quantities, John G. Capers, commissioner of internal revenue, has decided that the evidence obtained on the part of the federal government would not be sufficient to sustain the government's contention in court and that, therefore, the amount paid by the State under protest, $4, 525.01, should be refunded. In reviewing the case, in announcing his decision, the commissioner Bays' "The claim is based upon two grounds: First, that the tax, if due, should have been collected from the individual dis pensers, and not from the State, rely ing in this contention upon* the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of South Carolina vs. tho United States, 190 U. S. 437; sec ond, that there is a failure of proof on the part of the government to sustain the tax." The commissioner states that he is unable to agree with the first conten tion of counsel for the State, as his reading of the decision of the court in tho case referred to leads him to the conclusion that the main question de cided by the court in that case was that the S\ate had engaged in the busi ness of selling spiritous and ferment ed liquor; that such business was not a legitimate function of government, and hence the State, having engaged in an ordinary line of business, should be held taxable by the federal govern ment, just as an individual would be taxable under similar circumstances. With regard to the second contention ?that is, a failure of sufficient proof on the part of the government, the commissioner reviews at some length the affidavits filed, pro and con?those of State officials, dispensers, revenue officials and officials sent into the field subsequently to review all of these statements, and concludes that there is a lack of evidence on the part of the government to sustain the tax, and has ordered that the amount paid under protest be refunded. j The decision of the commissioner dis tinctly holds the State, through its dis pensers, liable for tax as wholesale malt liquor dealers where they sell in wholesale quantities, and the revenue officers will continue their investiga tions along these lines. In the cases at hand, however, in which the tax had actually been assessed and paid into the treasury, it was found that sufficient evidence had not been procured to sus tain the collection of the tax, and it will be refunded. It will be remembered that last sum mer W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, came to Washington and argued this case be fore the commissioner, and Mr. Capers stated at the time that he would ren der an opinion in it as soon as possible. Had the decision of the commis sioner been against the State it would have been necessary for the State to have paid between $25,000 and $30,000. The amount ordered refunded repre sents only ono installment of the sum assessed against the State. Seven Years of Proof. "I have had seven years of proof that Dr. King's Ne.v Discovery is the best medicine to take for coughs and colds and for every diseased condition of throat, chest or lungs," says W. V. Henry, of Panama, Mo. The world has had thirty-eight years of proof that Dr. King s New Discovery is the best remedy for coughs and colds, la grippe, asthma, hay fever, bronchitis, hemorrhage of the lungs and the early stages of consumption. Its timely use always prevents the development of Eneumonia. Sold under guarantee at ?aurens Drug Co. 's and Palmetto Drug Co.'s drug store, 50c and $1. Trial bot tle free.

Columbia, Jan. 11.?J. 0. Hallman, a rural delivery carrier out of Batesburg, had a narrow escape from drowning this afternoon. While attempting to ford Moore's Creek, five miles from Bates burg, in Saluda County, Hallman's horse went down in the surging stream and Hallman was washed out of the buggy. He succeeded in ridding him self of his overcoiit and coat and man aged to swim out of the torrent. His horse was drowned and his mail sack was lost. Hallman reached Batesburg tonight and reported his escape. He had made his trip to McMillan and was returning to Batesburg when he met with the accident. The hardest rain for years has fallen all through this section and the streams are badly swollen everywhere. The finest Coffee Substitute ever made has recently been produced by Dr. Shoop, of Racine, Wis. You don't have to boil it fifteen or twenty min utes. "Made in a minute," says the doctor. "Health Coffee" is really the closest coffee imitation ever yet pro duced. Not a grain of real coffee in it, either. Health Coffee Imitation is made from pure toasted cereals or grains, with malt, huts, etc. Really it would fool an expert, were he to unknowingly drink it for coffee. Sold by J. M. Phil pot.

Tho invitation will, in all probability, be accepted, for so far as is known no other city has asked for the reunion. When the stomach, heart or kidney nerves get weak then these organs always fall.

Practical Painters Find MASTIC MIXED PAINTS thoroughly practical. Acombi nation of lead and zinc in proper proportion, it is superior to any paint made of lead alone. Hand made paints mixed in a can and stirred with a stick cannot produce results like Mastic Mixed Paint, "The Kind that Lasts," Ground and re-ground by powerful machinery which therefore produces a smoother, glossier and more beautiful finish, covers more surface and resists the elements better. The cost of putting on poor paint is just as much as for putting on MASTIC PAINT that does not have to be re newed every year or so. The saving is all in favor of MASTIC PAINT.
