there are six leprosy patients there,
Of whom four are in Copenhagen. In

q The present remarkable demand for
novels and the influence of that demand
Oh the literary product are discussed by
Dr. Talcott Williams in the Review of
Reviews for November. The number of
novel-readers has been enormously in
creased, while the cost of publication
has been cheapened. In short, all the
conditions of literary production have
been transformed. This fact was pointed
out by DR.. Williams year ago, in the
Review of Reviews, and the past twelve
months have only confirmed the predic-
tions he then made regarding the pros
perity of the American book trade.

know ho WAS old and cherished bit

way responsible for his retirement
from tho United States Senate, and
did not intend to have my friond
tender an Office to Gen. Hampton
and have it rejected. SO l told Sen
ator McLaurin | would make nv

81 then talked the matter over
with three Columbians and | asked
ono OF thom to ascertain if General
Hampton would accept appointment
rs postmaster of Columbia, and to
mako it perfectly plain that, abso-
lutoly no conditions would be at
t"ched to the appointment, but that
if he accepted it he would not be
trammolled in any way and would
DO considered absolutely free to sup.
port or oppose whom he pleased.
1t was an honorable offor, couched
IN courteous terms. It was meant as
" recognition of Hampton's worth
and past services to the State, ser
vices which, however, did not entitle
him to election to representa-.
tive Office, if his views were at
variance with those of the people
whom he would have to represent.
Tho gentleman saw Con. Hampton
and the reply was as courteous as
tho offer, being that Gen. Hampton
would not accept the appointment.
Ihere had been no suggestion of
"buying" Gen. Hampton in the
offer and there was scorn in it's re.
lection. So his words as reported in
today's State are surprise, to say
the least of them. Neither McLau.
rim nor Mckinley offered an Office to
don. Hampton.
"In conclusion I desire to state
he information of my offer was
noO given tho public by mo. I told
McLaurin of what I had done and
he said it would have given him
pleasure to have used his influence
in bebalf Of Gen. Hampton to secure
him sn office without pledge or con.
dition. I said nothing about the
matter to anybody else and am at q
loss to understand how it became
public. "George r. Koester.

The Little Child.

A supplemented child was he,
And lie was nothing more;
In summer days, like you and me,
He played about the door,
Or gathered where the father toiled,
The shavings from the floor.
Sometimes he lay upon the grass,
The same as you and I,
And saw the hawks above him pass
Like specks against the sky;
Or, clinging to the gate, he watched
The stranger passing by.
a simple child and yet, think,
The bird-folk must lave known,
The sparrow and the bobolink,
And claimed him for their OWL,
And gathered round him fearlessly
When he was all alone.
The lark, the lnnet, and tie dove,
The chafiinch and the wren,
They must have known his watchfuI love
And given their worship them
They must have known and gloriied
The child who died for men.
And when the sun at break of day
Crept i'll upon his hair,
think it must have left a ray
OF unseen glory there,
A kiss of love OIL that little brow
For the thorns that he must wear.

ledge why the Standard Oil Com
pany has kept it's wells at Sulphur
plugged up during all these years.

there, and that they would be mag
nificent producers if opened. The
Standard Oil Company does not
care to become producer on
small scale, but wishes to play the
same role here as it does elsehere
that of a distributor solely. In
this the Standard Oil Company
would be great benefit to this Sec
ton, and have every reason to be-
lieve that it is merely matter of
time when the development is suf1i-
cient to induce that company to en-
ter the field as distributor, thus
enabling small companies with
small capital to avail themselves of
facilities requiring the investment
of many millions. | know this is

ness mans view, and is correct"

New York, Nov. IA special
to the Sun from Austin, Ten. says ::
The mystery as to the whereabouts
of Colonel Duncan Hood, son of
General John b. Hood, the noted
Confederate commander, has been
solved. John Allen Quinn, who
has Just returned from South Afri-
ca, says that he met Colonel Hood
in the Transvaal and that he is
commander of a regiment of Beers
and has been a leading figure in
many Of the attacks made upon the
English troops during the past year
and more.
Colonel Hood, after the death of
his father, was adopted and raised
by wealthy New York man. Tie
was educated at West Point. and
was taking Il course of electrical
engineering when the Spanish
American war came. He was ap-
pointed colonel Of the First Regi-
ment of the United States Volun-
teer lmmuneS, and after the dis
banding Of that regiment he re-
turned to New York and soon dis
appeared and nothing was heard of
him by his Texas friends and rela-
tives until the news was brought
back from South Africa by Mr.
Quinn that he is commanding a
force Of Beers.

Freedom of Discussion.

Freedom of legitimate discussion
must be maintained. If any editor
or public man feels pursuaded that
a president is working harm to the
republic, he must have the right to
say so plainly and emphatically. A
year and half ago, Geo. +. Hoar,
the veteran republican senator from
Massachusetts, was profoundly con-
vinced that the policy pursued by
the administration was one so ut
terly bad that perseverance in it
will be the abandonment of the
principles upon which our govern
ment is founded, that it will change
our republic into an empire" and
he so declared, in the most Impress
i've manner, in speech delivered
before the senate on the 18th Of
April, 1900. The right of any pub
lie man-and Of any newspaper
editor-to say such severe things AZ
this about the president must be
preserved, and it will be sad day
for the republic when there are not

LOUISIANA OIL PROSPECTS.

leum expert, talking on Louisiana
oil prospects to Picaynne man
recently, said:
~ believe said the professor,
"sthat the Louisiana field will prove
to be better than the Texas field
Immediately in the vicinity OF
Beaumont. The Beaumont field
seems to be exceedingly circum-
scribed in its limit, and it may take,
with the present unscientific meth
DDS, long time to discover anoth-
er field in Texas equal to it.
81 do not feel that there is quite
as much doubt as usual about the
Louisiana field. This field, to my
mind, offers larger inducements for
investment and greater promise for
the future than does that of Beau
mont, by long odds. The surface
indications are fully as good, the
geological formation is better, aud
the oil so far discovered is of supe-
rior quality. One thing that seems
to me particularly encouraging is
that the surface indications are dis
tributed over an immense amount
of territory, and actual drilling fol-
lowing these indications has pro-
duced most excellent results.
"Take the Anse- Butte we'll,
for instance. We will leave the
question as to whether it did spout
some time ago or not. Upon that
point, | prefer to remain silent.
There is certainly fine deposit of
oil at that point; the owners will
put down a well in another place
for reasons best known to them,
and | will say now that there is
no question as to the result. The
Jennings well struck one of the
finest deposits of oil in the world
and spouted. 1t was failure on
account of the mishap of the driller,
which caused the pipe to buckle and
the hole to be a failure. There is !
no question about the deposit of oil
at that point. The same is true of
quite a number Of other places !
which might name, some of which |
will be indicated in the report which |
l am now preparing upon the Lou
isiana field.
"Speaking of the Louisiana oil,
it might be we'll to state it is of
much better quality than the Beau
mont oil, being almost exactly sim
liar to the Corsicana product, which |
has been refined for a number of
years with great success.
One of the greatest lines in which |
our oil will be used throughout the |
world will be in the production Of
gas. It is the finest gas oil which
has ever been discovered. There |
was some doubt at first whether it |
could be used for the manufacture
of a fixed gas, but that doubt has
been definitely settled in the affrma
tive. DIR. Henry Froehling Of Rich
mond, Va, and myself have made |
exhaustive tests, and DR.. Froehling
has patented a process for the con-
version of this oil into gas. The
entire body of the oil, including the
bituminous content can be converted |
into gas, even including in this the
fixed carbon, which, by high de-
gree Of heat and perfect mixture |
at extreme temperatures, adds mate
rally to its illuminating quality. |
The only residue is about per cent.
