Hampton became live issue. The
building commission appointed by
tho Legislature came to Hampton
county to locate tho county seat. It
was duo almost entirely to Major
M"uldin's efforts that the present
site was SOLICITED rather than Warm
vile. In connection with George II.
Hoover he offered onehalf Of a 1000
acre tract and also $1,000 worth Of
lumber if the commission would de-
eide on that location. IIe told them
that this land would bo worth $1,000.
They asked him If he would give
So,OoO, and, though he was only
worth about S2, 900 at tho time, he
said he would and fulfilled this prom.
Use. Major Mauldin bulit a hand
somo homo at Hampton and WAS one
of tho original corporators Of the
Hampton and Branchville railroad.
He was a member Of the house at
the time and was instrumental IN
securing tho charter for this road.
Later, when those who had gono into
tho project with him abandoned tho
railroad, ho secured Il charter and
formed the Hampton and Branchville
Railroad and Lumber company in
which Gen. Moore, Gov McSweeney
and others were Interested with him.
This was in 1884. Gradually he
bought tho interests Of tho others
and became practically the sole own
or Of tho road. Ho proceeded to
build it upon the profits of his mill
business, and at the timo of his death
the road was being built on to a
junction with the Southern railway
at st. Georges. During the coming
year Major Mauldin hoped to be able
to make this connection. His family
will doubtless carry on tho work.
1t was not until 1892 that Major
Mauldin entered politics to any ex-
tent in this State. He had, OF course,
taken great deal of interest prior
to this time in county affairs. He
first camo to the general assembly in
1892 at tho hoa1 of the Legislative
ticket. He has since that time serv.
cd almost continuously in the legis.
lature, being elected to the senate in
1894, succeeding Con. More. He
WAS reelected at the expiration Of
his torn and at the time of his death
had two moro years to serve. Major
Mauldim was always thoroughly
patriotic with regard to his section
Of the country and freely investe in
local enterprises. lie WAS Interested
in the Bank Of Hampton and othor
business establishments.
IIe WAS member of tho Baptist
church and for long time was
deacon therein. IIo was instrumental
in the building of the church.
In the State Legislature he was al.
ways alive and wide wake and was
ever found in tho ranks Of those ad-
vocating progress and development.
11o was Il sound buaincss man, hav-
ing made and lost several fortunes,
yet in his personality he WAS a man
who made friends and hold them.
lie was regarded as ono of tho truest
men in tho State.

VII ERE THE CENTURY DAwNs
Pear6on's Magazine. |

Where will the Twentieth century
first dawn If the change of the
centuries took place at either of the
equinoxes March % or September
22-then, since those days the earth's
axis is at right angles to the plane of
the orbit and there is equal day and
night all over the world, the matter
would be very easily decided. The
dawn line would coincide with the
date line, and from pole to pole the
first sun of the new century would
rise at the same moment.
But, unfortunately, this is not 30,
and the consequence is that the line
of dawn, as it sweeps around the
earth, first touches the date line to
the south of the equator, and then
gradually creeps up this line till it
leaves it far to the north. So the
first sun Of the twentieth century
will rise on the places along or near
the date line in the order of their
position, from the south upward.
Now there is no land along this
line from the Antartic Circle to Anti
podes island, hence this tiny spot of
earth will first see the Twentieth
century dawn. A few minutes later
Bounty island will see it. Then it
will sweep along the northeast coast
of North island, New Zealand, then
over Vanua Levu in the Fiji islands.
Next it will shine on tho scattered
coral islets of the Ellice group, and
after travelling about nine degrees
more to the north the light tide will
touch the crossing of the dawn line
and date line at 6 O'Clock.
Two hours and five minutes will
have to. pass before it reaches the
banks Of the Yarra. In six hours
and twenty five minutes it will gild
the temples and palaces of Calcutta.
In nine hours and fifty minutes it
will be flowing over Lions Head,
and down the rugged sides of Table
mountain. In twelve hours and
twenty five minutes it will have
crossed Montmarte and touched tho
base of Eiffel tower in Paris. Five
minutes later it will have passed the
cross of st. PauPs and be flowing up
Fleet street. In seventeen hours and
twenty minutes from the time it
crossed the dawn line it will be flow
ing around the feet Of the Statute of
Liberty, and IN three hours more it
will have reached the Golden Gate.
Thence it will cross stretch of ocean
unbroken by rock or islet back to the
dawn line, and 80 will be accom-.
plished the evening and morning Of
the first day of the Twentieth century.

GEN. GRANT HOPEFUL.
Finds the Filipinos Worthy Of
Praise and Commentator.
And Reports Growing Fondness on
Their Part for American tnsu-
tutIons-Eager 10 Learn Eng
Iish and Fond of Dress.

Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, after two
years of active campaigning IN the
Philippines, is spending short leave
of absence in the United States.
AS he grows older Gen. Grant more
closely resembles his distinguished Ia
Their. There is the same forceful chin
the same determined face, and as he
sat in the parlor of the Palmer resi-
dence at Chicago, his full beard hb-
orally streaked with gray, the resem-
blance was most striking.
The general is confirmed optimlst
as regards the Philippine situation,
and declared the Filipinos TO be much
better class of people than they have
been painted. with rapidly growing
liking for American people and meth
DDS. 1t was in response to the queS-
ton whether after all there was not
deep-seated racial prejudice against
Americans, as has been frequently al
legged, that the general said:
"No; on the contrary, l think they
are really becoming fond of our peo-
pie and institutions. They are an inn
pulsive lot, much like children, and
youngsters trying TO show conclusive
~ they were good. As an evidence OF
their growing patriotism L may say
they celebrated Washington's birthday
with much gusto, and when i left they
were preparing even then TO celebrate
the Forthcoming Fourth of July.
''More significant than this, however,
is the universal eagerness they show in
displaying the American flag and teS-
tifying their allegiance to it. 1t is
common sight to see flags of different
sizes and makes floating from every
house in a village, no matter how
humble. 1t is the makeup of some of
these flags which is especially Signifi-

marketmen and truckers away from

vegetables. fine strawberries. apricots

there early this morning. The first Anne
Arundel squashes or cymlings of the sea-
son were in market today. They were
raised on the farm of T. W. Stinchcomb
North Severn, and we're on the stall of
his brother A. J. Stinchcomb. The
cymlings were as large as those of the
last of June and July Other vegetables
were beets, peas. cucumbers, asparagus
&c. This has been an unprecedented
season with truckers for strawberries and
peas. 1t has not only been a good sea-
son, but long one. The cold weather
of early spring prevented the pea louise
which is much dreaded destroyer. The
dark or rainy season of May prevented
the strawberries ripening too tast, and
the season of delicious strawberries will
be extended two weeks, at least.

American teachers are in great demand
