D !. Tomrkins to Be in Charge.

Charleston, Special.-At a meeting OF
the board of directors Of tie expos
ton company, Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, the
well-known cotton mill builder and eX-
pert of Charlotte, was elected superin-
tendent and manager of the textile ex-
hib!t, at the South Carolina Inter
State and West Indian Exposition, at
Charleston. Mr.. Tompkins came to this
city week or two ago at the invlta.lcn
of the exposition management and
made a thorough examination OF the
conditions here. He was impressed
with the great Importance Of the un-
dertaking to the commercial and in
dustrial interests Of the South, and
after considering the subject, concluded
to accept the service which the board
had asked hi INTO perform.
BY his agreement, Mr.. Tompkins will
take charge Of and cause to y placed
the exhibits for the palace, ano in or
der to accomplish this work he will be
compelled to use good part OF his en-
gineering and commercial force aad
some outside hep and there IS NO
doubt that he will push the work with
his accustomed energy, which means
that the textile exhibit at Charleston
will be the largest, the best arranged
and the most comprehensive that has
ever been made in this country.

Those who are to come after Us are
to make as much progress as we have
made, or as those have made who
went before us, and the lines along
which that progress will move cannot
now be predicted. For this reason,
while it is desirable to build in thor
oughly safe manner, and to guard
against all risks, especially those OF
fire, it is highly questionable whether
it is desirable to construct buildings in
such a solid manner that when 4 half
century from this time it becomes
necessary to either destroy them or
radically alter them, the change will
involve a great and unnecessary sac
rifice to the owner, remarks the Bos'

A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly discusses the sterility of gem
iuses. The tendency of women of ge-
MUS is to marry late in life. OF S19
British men of genius, twenty-eight
per, cent. never married, while the nor
NAL ratio of bachelors TO the entire
population is only ten per cent. The
marriages of this class of men were
unfruitful in about twenty per cent.
of the total number Of cases. This is
much higher than the ratio of child
less marriages IN the middle and upper
classes in Great Britain and the Uni
ted States, which is placed at thirteen
per cent. But the infertility OF ge-
muses. is compensated by their greater
vitality, for they are proverbially long
lived.

EE.JUVENATING The ALLIANCE.

When the STATE Alliance met last
week and decided to proceed at once
with the regeneration and reorganlza-
ton of the Order which has played
such an important part in South Car
olina affairs in the last decade, many
thought that the action would amount
to nothing for some time to come. But
it. looks as if the special committee
in whose hands the plan Of reorgani-
zation was left means business. 1t

PRAISE FOR SCHLEY
Admiral Cervera Pays High Tribute to
His Bravery.
SAYS HE CANNOT BE A C0WARG.
The Spanish Admiral Gives His Opin-
ion of the rlan Who Destroyed His
Fleet.

Vichy, France, BY Cable
Adm al Cervera is here TAX
ing sulphur baths and drinking the
waters of Vichy, trying to get rid of
liver complaint contracted during the
Spanish-American war.
When questioned as to Admiral
Schley's actions during the battle O..
Santiago, the Admiral said:
Action speak. The good OLD frogerb
is: Actions speak louder than words
Why not apply it to Admiral Schley?
Understand that what l say is in the
light of this distinction.
las a Spaniard, look upon that war
as being as unjust as the war which
Britain is now waging against the Beer
republics. Personally. shall never for
get the generous and courteous treat
ment that was accorded TO me by the
Americans, and particularly by Adni-
rel Schley. He impressed me as gal
liant officer and a high-minded gentle
man in the fullest sense Of the phrase
"a prior, should say that man Of
noble principles and generous impulses
cannot be a coward. To such men
would rather look for Castillan bra
very.
THE naval battle of Santiago was
short and decisive-so short that there
was no time for an exchange OF con-
pliments; so decisive that can hardly
| believe that cowardice was thinkab.e
The fight was over in about three hours
and three-quarters.
Had I been captured in the days Of
ancient Rome, my back might have
been used as stepping stone for the
conqueror mounting his horse. Admiral
Schley treated me on terms OF absolute
equality.
His flagship, the Brooklyn, was
west. on the blockading line, and was
! therefore the most exposed. She was
engaged in a running fight with the
Viscaya and the Colon. When the
Brooklyn and the Oregon got within
range of the Colon they opened fire,
and the latter was compelled to rrn
ashore. The Cristobal Colon also struck
her colors to the Brooklyn and the
Oregon.
THE Brooklyn, holding the westward
blockading position, was within range
of our ships and batteries all the t:na,
| though our ships lacked certain things
necessary for full effectiveness.
Admiral Schley showed ability and
thoroughness.
Your ships went straight to work,
probably without much commani.ng.
Admiral Schlcy accomplished fully tie
work allotted to him, and therefore II
does not seem to me that there is any
room for adverse critic!sm-at least
from the American side.
IF any one should gTumblc, 1t is |;
but have said my say in the document
published under The title of Guerra
Hispano Americana.
Physical and moral courage are two
different qualities. There is no need CT
using a microscope to discover both in
the actions OF Admiral Schley.'

"A writer in Nature, discussing the
rise of the new chemical industry Of
producing artificial perfumes, makes
significant remark concerning the
sense of smell in human beings. he
declares that it is, as yet, wholly IN
cultured. I'm walking through the
country" he says, tive can rarely
identify particular odor caught until
the sight of the plant from which it
emanates makes us wonder at our
hesitation" He suggests that the
growth of the perfume industry, which
results in the continual production Of
new odors, may lead to a cultivation
of the neglected sense of smell, which
may be capable of as artistic develop
ment as that which odor perception
has attained.

Some interesting questions were raised
today. on the entering of decree in the

ly all the property came into possession
of Mary Higgins and Anne Kelley, the
former owning ten-seventeenths, and the

ley claimed one-half OF the property

Mary Higgins claimed that the surplus
should he divided according TO the rela-
tive value of the property owned by her

July L. 1900, and that the tax value of
her property was then 5000. while that OF
Anne Keley's property was $500.
Mrs. Higgins wanted ten-seventeenths
of the surplus remaining after the pay
ment of the mortgage debt, expenses Of
sale. interest on debt, and also S1S2 90,
being Anne Kellcys share of interest paid
by Mrs. Higgins.

ports the claims OF Mrs. Higgins. James
