The Wadsworth Lands.
The Laurens Advertiser, Of recent dute
contained the following:

The Laurens Advertiser, Of q recent dute,
contained the following:
iVery few persons in this community
appear to realize the great work Of that
grand philanthropist, Thomas Wadsworth,
who, nearly century ago planned for the
education of the poor children of Maj.
Dunlap's battalion and founded what WAS
designed to be magnificent school.
Thos. Wadsworth was wealthy English
merchant of Charleston, s. G.. He had no
connection in this country but his mother
and wife, and the disposition of his prop.
erty to trustees ''for the sole purpose and
use of maintaining and supporting free
school for poor children residing within
those limits (Dunlap's Battalion) forever,
shows the philanthropy of the man. The
property which he gave has been found to
be 1854 acres of land In the counties Of
Laurens, Anderson, Abbeyille, Green
Vile, Pickens, Spartanbnrg, Oconee, Edge
field, Lexington, and Orangeburg. This
land has been leased for long terms by the
trustees and the leases are just now begin
ming to expire. The Wadsworth school
has been kept open during this long Pc.
Rod, and although the large sum realized
from the lease of the lands was lost by the
war, still the trustees have small sum at
interest, and when another disposition has
been made of the vast estate, Laurens
County will have school which will be
of much more benefit than the State Uni
versity, the Clemson College or any other
College,.
''T6e leases which have already expired
are on lands in Spartanburg and Green
Vile, and at the next term Of Court in An.
derson, the question of title will first be
tried. There is little doubt. however, that

in praise of Electric Bitters. So many

Tn New York World has obtained from
the treasurer Of each state the value o.
the property assessed for taxation. The
census Office Of 1880 made a report Of an
inquiry into the proportions existing in
each state between the taxed property and
actual wealth, which range between Is
per cent. In Illinois and 6s in Wyoming.
The Worlds report shows an increase in
taxable property Of 1896, OOO, 900 and an
increase in actual wealth Of SIS, GO, OO0,.
900 and an increase in actual wealth ol
SIS, 062. 900 900 since 1880. The total
wealth Is t6l ,459, 900, 900, exclusive o.
public property and SS,OaS, 900 900 Of
property invested and owned abroad. The
wealth Of the United States now exceeds
the total wealth Of the whole world at any
time previous 10 the middle Of the eight
eenth century. The amount invested
abroad Is alone equal to the national
wealth Of Portugal and Denmark. The
total wealth Of only Eve nations Is equal
10 the mere increase Of the United States
in the nine years.

RATIO OF SPEED.

Robert Bonner's son Frederick argues
the question Of the two minute horse
thus; "Just as horses 60 80 much fast
eF, 90 much more will their ratio Of speed
10 the quarter differ from the mile. II
d this great effort kills any horse. II
one horse trols q mile in 2:lO and an
other horse trots in 2:s3<, it Is much
easier 70 reduce the time Of the 2:1O
horse to ASK than IL is TO reduce the
time Of the 2;s& horse to 2:s. Here
again Is the principle Of geometrical pro-
erosion interpreting with cumulative
force the lower you 30 In the record. !
should think that q trotter in order TO
accomplish q mile in two minutes should
be able 10 show . quarter in "a seconds
at least. II the fastest recorded quarter
mile be SOj< seconds, and the mile 2:s3<
then Il follows, BY . simple calculation,
that . two minute horse could do the
quarter in 81 seconds less than Maud s.
has done Il. Yet here again occurs an
other very singular question Of ratio.
II in the past twenty years we have only
made an increase in speed Of three-quar-
ter seconds in the quarter mile, how

seconds, and thus attain the height Of
