There are about 75N.0Do people in ia

is under British rule, and owing to
the great depression of the sugar
trade matters are not in prosperous

Secret of the Academic Franchise.

In connection with the reception Of
NJ. de Vogue by the French Academy,
it is noted that the new academician
made his opening address facing to-
ward the southwest pillar of the hall.
So has every new academician since
1S19-since, in fact, the admission of
the Able Maury. who, feeble in voice
and fearing fiaseo for his reception
speech. went to the hall some days i'll
advance to test lbs voice. 1Ggning
slowly rounf as he spoke he noticed
a clear echo as he faced the southwest
pillar. Several tests confirmed the
result, AID Maury went away happy.
His reception was brilliant success.
He afterwarl gave his secret away,
and no academician has ever been
known to ignore it.-London Globe.

the Lawyers.
Justice Gaynor Of the supreme
court is not noted for his good nature
on the bench. He is rather inclined
to be severe and stern, and lectures
the lawyers who appear before him
whenever he deems it necessary
No long ago, however, he sprang a
joke from the bench and laughed as
he did SO. The incident was so rare
that it is still being talked of by
the lawyers
A young counselor, who had an ex-
ceedingly bad case, but was strug-
Cling to make the best of it, tried
to strengthen his side by abusing the
opposition. He continued along this
line for some minutes, when Justice
Gaynor, raising his hand in his char
acteristic and deprecatory way,
stopped the proceedings
Don't you think, my friend, that if

he had not received roast, took the

%cilities for production have been
often increased and now seem to be
sufficient for present requirements.
"The Act of March Is, 1900,
makes it the duty of the Secretary of
the Treasury to maintain the parity
of value of all forms of money issued
or coined by the United States with
the gold standard defined and fixed
by that law. This parity has been
and is now easily maintained, and
all kinds of Government money are
exchangeable with each other.
"The inflow of gold certificates
of $40 and upwards, is the key to
this maintenance of parity and inter
chsngeability of all kinds of Govern
ment money. On the other hand,
small denominations, including silver
coin, are constantly in demand for
the myriad transactions of retail
trade and the current uses OF rural
communities, as. we'll as for pay rolls
in furnaces and factories and har
vest fields. The treasury in recent
years, continues the report, has
heard much more clsmor for silver
and small notes than for gold. It is
now abundantly able to meet all calls
for every kind of money for its own
obligations, for redemption and tor
legitimate transfers. AS a result OF
the movements which have been
noted our Government paper curren-
cy is gaining in simplicity. Gradually
all large denominations are becom'
ing gold certificates and the smallest
silver certificates, while in time all
$40 will be United States notes."

It has been charged that the com

HALL DEVOTED TO sCIhNCE.
John b. Cieveland's Liberal and Appropri
g ate Gift to Wofford College.
News and Courier.

4NOWo oAN OSOAASA'
On Friday last Mr.. John B Cleve
land. of Spartsnburg, addressed a
letter to Dr.. Carlisle and Prof. Du-
Pre-, of Wofford College, saying:
1t is my intention to build on the
campus, site to be selected by you, q
hall to be devoted to science, and
present same to Woford College. I
have requested Prof. DuPre to take
charge of the matter and get plans
and Specifications. He told me this
morning that plans had virtually been
decided upon and I now authorize
you to make necessary contracts IN
order to have the work completed as
soon as practicable, though I pre-
sumo nothing much can be done be-
fore spring.
In acknowledging the receipt of
the letter Dr.. Carlisle and Prof. Du.
Pre- say:
"Your letter with its very liberal
promise, will carry gladness to the
friends of Woford College and OF
education in our State. The College
stands on ground once owned by
your family. There will be historic
fitness u an appropriate building on
the campus, associated with your
name. May you live many years to
see the fruits of the generous interest
you have always taken in your Alma
Mater"
There was nothing dramatic about
the way in which Mr.. Cleveland made
his gift to Woford College, but it
means a great deal for the College
and the cause of liberal learning in
South Carolina, and entities the
glver to the thanks of all who are
interested in educational progress
without regard to the particular in.
stitution. which is intermediary of
his bounty. MFR. Cleveland is one of
the progressive men in the State,
aud has been one of the active pro.
moters of the marvellous industrial
development of Spartanburg: 1t is
hoped that his example will be fol-
lowed by other progressive and pub
lie spiritedacitizens of the State. He
did not wait until he died to do some
thing for the public benefit. There
are other rich men IN South Carolina
who could do as much, or more, than
Mr. Cleveland for Woford College,
or for other institutions of learning
in the State, but they hold on to
their dollars and never respond to
any great public necessity, except in
the most illiberal spirit. If they
would give as Mr.. Cleveland has
given the Colleges would all be we'll
equipped institutions abreast of the
progress of the times.
