1ALaursns BOY.

The Wade Hampton Chapter of the
U. ID. @. OF Columbis are doing q pa
triotic work. They offered a prize OF
a gold medal to the student Of the
South Carolina College who should
write the best article upon the causes
which brought about the late war be-
tween the States. There were several
contestants for the prize and Tuesday
evening, the 10th inst. the birth day of
Gen.Lee, was chosen for announcing the
award. a great assembly Of distingu-
isbed people, Judges, Legislators and
ladies assembled in the Hall OF the
House OF Representatives, when ex-
Attorney General L. F. Youmans, de-
livered a beautiful address, and pre-
sented the medal to Mr.. John j. Nc
Swain to whom it had been awarded.
Young Nh. McSwain upon request read
an abstract Of his able paper, being re-
ceived with much applause and listened
to with great interest.
Here is what The State says OF the
event:
These comparative essays were in
valuable for they induced research and
made the writer's have a better under
standing of the war than they would
otherwise have. The time selected for
this presentation was appropriate-the
birthday of Gen. Robert E Lee.
Mr.. Youmans here presented the
medal to Mr.. John j. McSwain, whose
essay the committee had decided was
the best. His presentation remarks
were particularly beautiful and at the
conclusion he was heartily cheered.
MIR. McSwain, by special request,
read his essay. 1t was quite long,
about five columns, but it was listened
to attentively. When he had finished
Dr.. Talley dismissed the audience
Mr.: McSwain received many copgratu-
iations after the meeting. The medal
is very handsome. On the observe
are two Confederate flags and the flag
OF South Carolina. On it are en-
graved these words: "Wadc Hampton
Chapter, daughters of the C~onfederacy.
Students Of South Carolina College
for best essay 1897 on Canfederacy."-
On the reverse are the words: "Causes
OF the War Confederate States of
America. 1S6l-65. Dec Vindice."
1t is the intention of the Wade
Hampton chapter to continue to offer
q medal each year for the best essay
on such subjects as it may name.
Mr.. McSwain is q member of the
Senior Glass and is making q record
that his friends in Laurens are proud
to note.

TO Columbia

Tuesday last the editor OF this paper
was called to Columbia ON business
He had been there before, and the
trip was not novel, except that the
u over President Childs road, the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens was
made in less than one hundred and
eighty minutes. In the olden time,
thirty years ago, passengers on the
Newberry & Laurens, were reputed to
luxuriate EN- ROUTE on ~blackberries
and other fruits that grew by the
waystde. Several towns are growing
up along the line and dotting the land
scape with handsome dwellings and
business houses. If the country sur
wives and lives long enough, there is
promise that we will be q great people
yet. Nil desperandum,-we should not
despair is the way one branch of the
ancients put it. Our little business
transacted, we had time to look up our
Solons, Wallace, Mcdaniel, Goodwin
and Smith. They are all domiciled like
good brethren at the same good private
boarding house and are very COM
Portable and we'll. They were glad to
see a Laurens constituent, and gave
him a clear idea Of what may be ex-
pected in the pending session in the
way of legislation. They are a sub
stantial, clear headed, cool set of re-
representatives. and the State will suffer
no detriment at their hands. They are
in favor OF doing the necessary legisla-
tion, and doing 1t quickly and coming
home. Columbia is not a big town like
Atlanta or London, but it has hopes
and has a Zig heart. Just at this
juncture however, If you want to see
the great big world, you had better go
to Greenwood or ~Spartanburg or At
lanta and you need not take with you
a monicle or one Of those improved
telescopes that the great Universities
are building. Columbia, however, our
capital should grow into q great oity
and we would not be envious or jealous,
We would have been glad to call on
our new Governor and extend the good
wishes OF all the readers and friends of
THE ADVERTISER, but like q certain
cook OF our household who was COM
planned against by the mistress for
neglect in not washing the dishes, eve
hain't had time" We saw some of the
great dignitaries; Chief Justice Nc
liver OF IL Supreme Court, who has
served the State SO long alphabetically,
looking as fresh as a morning rose with
the dews upon it and who Is blessed
with the gift of eternal youth. Also
u. S. Circuit Judge Charles Simonton,
the Bette NoIR Of Senator Tillman and
Governor Evans, who has served e. Q
State long and well and who bids fair
to be as fresh as Caleb at q second
Jubilee,
We must not fail to mention our
friend President, w. G.. Childs, OF the
o. N. q l.. over which he pre-
sides, the right man in the right
place, who went down with us. We
returned on Wednesday morning, max
ing the II in short order, happy to
reach our own great and growing city,
although we had been absent for only
twenty=four hours.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed r. dition of
the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in
famen you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless inflammation
can he taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition ,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.

Rev, j. w. Butts preached his
farewell sermon at Buford Bap-
list church last Sunday. For
three years Mr.. Butts has laboredi
with the church here and the
growth of the membership and
the condition of the church at this
time will testify as to his success.
The membership has grown from
30 to 140 and the mission work
from almost nothing to $50 per
year. The preachers salary has
been raised from 500 to $780,
The church has been newly seated
at Il cost of $3.50, besides other
improvements.
Appropriate scripture was Sc
lected for the occasion and Mr..
Butts was visably Effected, which
was caught up by his audience and
few dry eyes left the church.
Mr.. Butts goes to new fields af-
ter the holidays, with the prayers
and blessings of the whole COM

of opinion that it will be many
days before our city will be blessed

May Have Steadier Lights.

AJournal man was accorded the pleas
ure of seeing the new water wheel gov
ernor that has recently been put into
place at the Kennebec Light and Heat
Co.'S plant at the east end of the falls.
The company have the reputation of
having everything that is new and up
to date and the purchasing of the gov
ernor goes to support the reputation
as there are but very few of the ma
chimes in use in Maine. 1t is manu-
featured in Boston by the Lombard
Water Wheel Governor Co.. and has
been patented but three years.
1t is run upon the same principle as
the governor of a steam engine. y
belt on the right side connects the gov
ernor proper with the main shaft
Upon the left side another belt from
the main shaft runs an air pump. Be
side this air chamber is a large tank
rious parts of the machine, as the parts
are opened. This oil does the same
work in the different cylinders as the
steam in steam engine. Under the
balls and springs of the governor prop
er are three cylinders, one above an
other in which the oil works when the
governor thinks it proper. The main
shaft will perhaps get to going too
fast, at once the balls will draw away
from their usual axis. down Will go
the prick into a small cylinder. This
pushes forth piston rod which in turn
connects with a piston in the second cyl
nder and this second piston sets in mo-
ton the third cylinders piston rod
which connects with a shaft that is
attached to the water gate. Thus 1t
will be seen that the flow Of watt +
through the gate will be kept the same
all the time by the governors constant
watching and thus we may expect to
have steadier lights.
