The scnthern's Good Will.

The cold snap interfered very Sc
riously with the good roads conven-
tion in Greenville. The roads were
so frozen that it was impossible to
give thorough exhibitions of the best
methods of road working. The
Southern Railway, under its present
management, is big factor in the
development of the country through
which its road passes. In every
movement of any moment the South,
ern has taken an active and leading
part. The good roads train recently
sent out by it is but one of the nu-
merous evidences of its good will to-
ward the South, and our people will,
if they do not now, appreciate the
Efforts of the Southern 10 their be-
half.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the
result of torpid liver or irregular
action of the bowels. Unless natures
refuse is carried off it will surely
cause impure blood, pimples, boils
and other eruptions follow. This is
natures method of throwing IF the
poisons which the bowels fsiled to
remove. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers are world famous for remedy
ing this condition. They stimulate
the liver and promote regular and
healthy action OF. the bowels but
never cause gripping, cramps or dis
tress. Safe pills. J. E. Kaufmann.

Commitment.

You who have this jewel care for
it carefully. Let DO storms darken
it's beauty for moment. Add to it
day by day the precious stones OF
meekness and quietness. Be thank
ful for the gift of making others
happy. Coptentment in q circle is
like the brilliant sun shedding its
light ssrenely on all around.
Oh! for the mind that can pass by
the splendors Of this life and yet not
covet them; the rosy-cheeked girl in
modest gown and shabby bonnet
who can look at her well. dressed
neigbbor without an aching, envious
heart. Oh! for the spirit of the
man who, beholding his friend ride
by in a splendid carriage, can still
go calmly back to- his plow or hoe
without bitter thought. Such a
one is truly as far above the sneers
and laughter of the unthinking as is
heaven above earth. Contentment
is that. quality of some minds that
makes the possessor happy in spite
Of feverses or misfortune.
Do not worry. 1t does no good
and merely renders you more dis
contented and unhappy. It wears
on your nerves, makes you angry
and cross, and leaves you in state
of nervous prostratiop, 60 that when
real trouble comes it finds you ur-
able to manfully cope with it. If by
strong ambition and hard work oa
your part you cannot better your
condition in life, be satisfied with
your lot and let your smile of con-
tentment make some sunshine in the
lives of your less favored friends.

penitentiary authorities do not regret
the circumstance. This is not be-
cause the boy has been bad one,
but because he was employed in work
not assigned to colored prisoners.
This caused some inconvenience, but
from all indications the boy has been
actually reformed from the fact that
he has been isolated from other Grim

What the Nations Owe

An article summarizing the
national debts of the various
countries of the world appears
in a recent publication from the
bureau of statistics. It shows
a total of thirty-one billion, a
sum that is utterly inconceiv-
able, and which there is about
as much chance Of the world
ever paying as there is of elect
ing a Southern man President
next time. On a basis of per
capita dept the following in
teresting and instructive figures
are given: In the Australasian
colonies the debt amounts to
$263.9O for each individual. The
citizens of Honduras each carry
$219.60. The people of France
strain under a per capita debt of
$15O.61. In Uruguay it is $14S.06;
in Portugal, $143,S2; Argentina
$12S.S5; Spain, $95.53; the
Netherlands, S9O.74; Belgium,
S75.63, and Great Britain, S74.-
SO. Our burdens, much as we
complain, are comparatively
easy to bear, being only S14:52
per capita, though in Mexico
the per capita debt is but S10.S4
The debt of the United
States in 1885 was only S33, ,OO0,-
900, and in 1860 was but 64,000, :
600, butin five years it had soar
edto$2, ,756, ALB, ,571.43 the legacy
of our great civil war. The
British national debt is over
four billions, but like the United
States, Great Britain still ex-
poets to pay principal as well
as interest, or, at least, has no
thought of repudiating it even
if it is never paid. France still
struggles to pay the interest on
her entire national debt, but at
least three-fourths of 1t is regar-
ded as irredeemable, while
Spain, Italy, Turkey and Aus
tria-Hungary are practically
bankrupt countries. Nobody
expects the debts of these ma
tions to be paid. The only ques-
tion is, will they be able to con-
tinue to pay the interest? War

THE WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Director Bauer Says it Was the Most

Director Bauer say's it Was the Most
Favorable Week ofthe Season.
The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition Of the weather and
crops in the State, issued Wednesday
By Director Bauer Of the South Caro-
lima section of the climate and crop
service Of the United States weather
bureau:
The week ending Monday, July s,
averaged slightly wsrmer than usual
over the wes .ern, northern aud central
portions, and slightly cooler over the
Southeastern. The daley maximum
ranged between So ana SO degrees, while
a minimum of 66 was noted at Green
vile on the 1st. There was more than
the usual amount Of bright sunshine.
Early in the week, ard agsin near
It's close, there were scattered showers,
heaviest in the central and south
eastern counties, with a maximum
rainfall of l. SO inches at st. George,
while over the Dorthern and western
counties the week was generally rain
lees. These conditions Of high tenn
perature abundant su7shine, and ao-
sence Of rain, made this the most "a
vorable week Ct the season for culti7s-
tion, nevertheless, many fields remain
grassy, and it will require st least an
other week Of dry weather to clean
them. Rain is needed generally for the
crops, and to soften the soil especially
clayey land that dried out hard, and
breaks coddy uDdsr cultivation. Raic
is also needed to prevent fur her injury
to crops that were dsmsged in riddin g
them of grass and weeds.
Cotton made slight and general i'm
prcvement, except ses island, that i'm.
proved decidedly. The plauts are IN
usually small for the season, and are
growing slowly, especially on sandy
soils, where their condition is excep
tionslly poor. Blooms are noted over
the whole State, but cotton is not
blooming as profusely as it should at
this season. 1t is reported that the
crop as whole cannot possibly attain
a normal condition, however favorable
the weather during the remainder Of
the season may be.
The corn crop can now safely be
characterized as the poorest in many
years, and over considerable areas will
approximate a failure. Corn, with
some exceptions, has slender stalks, is
tasselling low, and not caring we'll.
Planting bottom and stubble lands con-
tinues.
Tobacco shared in the general i'm
pro7ement during the psst week, but
is still very poor. Cutting and cur
ing is well under way in all districts.
Rice made marked improvement,
but has not fully recovered from the i'll
effscts Of the excessive June rainfall.
Peas are being extensively planted in
with corn and on stubble fslds. Some
have come up to good stands.
Apples, peaches and pears continue
to drop extensively, while peaches and
grapes rot as they ripen.
The labor situation has not improved,
and continues to be a serious factor in
this years farm economics.

Big Trust Formed.

News confirming the report Of the
consolidation Of all the cotton seed oil
mills in the country vas received Fri
day morning. There are seven of such
mills in New Orleans, the largest Ct
which are the Southern Standard and
Union. The combined output Of the
seven is about $4,000 barrels per year.
While dispatches from Nav York state
the capital stock Of the cotton seed Gil

New Orleans manufactures more cotton
seed oil than any other city in the
country except Houston, Texas, which,
by the way, only has four mills, but
they are very large.

FRANCES NAVY.
Will! C>ss 81 y.Tw, M!!licns
NaxS Ysar.

The naval expenditure of Franc, fer
1901 is off ,ially proposed to be s62 $780,
600, which at first sight seems tc be less
than in 1901, bat il it is taken into ac-
count thst the cost of maintaining the
marine infantry and artillery, amount
ing to about IS 100000, has been trans
ferred from the navy to the ministries Of
war and the Colonies, it is found thst
the money that France intends to spend
upon the navy during 1902 is in resiity
50, 800, 900 in excess Of the naval ez-
penditures Of the current year.
1t is matter of serious considers
ton for the Fie1ch whether they are
not spending upon taeir navy more than
their national resources warrant.
France has nov piled up dept in
volving an annual charge for interest
of nearly $500, 900, 900 or, in other
words, every man, woman and child in
France has nov to pay S5. per annum
for interest on the National debt. The
army costs the country $4,000, 900 a
year and the total expenditure for 1902
is officially proposed to be $3.50, 0O0,UOO
Moreover, reflections upon the
French census cause renewed uneasi-
ness. Last March the population in
round numbers was $500. 900, being
an Increase of only 100000 since 1896;
and even this meagre result is mostly
accounted for by Paris and its suburbs,
where the increase has been 292 900,
due principally to foreign immigration,
SO thst 10 the rest OF France the popu.
lation has been augmented by only
$4,000 during the last FIVE years. That
is to say, for military and naval pur-
poses the population is almost station
ary, and in this respect France stands
alone among the great nations of
Europe.
Uuter these conditions, NJ. Jsures,
the socialist leader, and m sny advanced
thinkers among the radicals and radical
socialists, hold that is il impossible for
France to have at the same time navy
aud army Of the frss rank, simply bs-
cause she has net thu rssurce' Of men
and money to maintain both.
