The town sprinkler was put in SER
vice this morning and was most well
come visitor, especially on the maca-
dam on Commerce street it is needed
now. What in wet weather is Shiny
mud, has been nothing but a powder
the past week and residents all along
the street are complaining of the nuis-
ance. The foundation of the new
macadam road may be al to the good and
worthy of praise but the surface con
dition is nothing but a makeshift and
reflects neither credit upon the Street
Committee nor the Council which
allows it. If we can't have the street
as it should b.. let us have the use
of the sprinkler. Citizens, especially
the housewife, would welcome it
gladly.

In the Spring advertisements noted
IN this issue, Smyrna is making a
splendid bid for trade. And rightly
so. No stores in any town carry
the up-to-date stock and as great a
variety as Smyrna. The people CT
this vicinity will do well to investi-
gate this fact and follow the reading
of these advertisements by a visit to
the stores. Your dollar will find
as good purchasing power here as
anywhere. Try it.

The agitation for good roads in
Delaware has brought about substan-
tial assistance from the Delaware
Legislature. Ali the counties are in
a position to go ahead and if nothing
more is done for the present than a
good macadam road down the cold
Kings Highway from Wilmington
TO Sussex, il will be a great advance
for our state. Give the state road
attention first and the lateral roads
will come along in due time.

Councilman Hudson favors having
the macadam Commerce street dressed
of and layer of cement put on to
make it a hard and even surface.
Good, Mr.. Hudson You are on the
right track. Now get the other
members of the Council in the notion
and do something. The foundation is
there and if you can make permanent
work out of it the Town Council
of Smyrna will receive all the glory.

Modern PAINTINGS Fade.

4 prominent French artist, NJ. Paul
Signac. has just asserted that certain
ruin awaits the majority Of modern
paintings. A few artists spare no
pains to obtain pure and durable mate
rials for their pictures. But most
painters purchase ready made preDnra-
tons that are chemically adulterated
and must soon fade. Works painted
twenty years ago" he says. retain
their freshness because | took the
trouble to obtain pure materials. But
many works Of much more recent
date hnve already hc"un TO fade. 1t Is
dcplorable fiat the great artistic crea-
tions of our epoch should he so evanes-
cent. The position is such that the
majority Of modern artists may be
said to be painting on clouds. The
real coloriSts will be the first 10 suffer
from the effectiveness Of their mate
rails unless they employ technical
processes that will preserve their col

Sunrise III the South"

Under the above caption, Richard
II. Edmonds, in the Manufacturers
Record, published in Baltimore, Md.
presents some very Illuminating facts
and figures to show the marvellous
development which the South has
undergone in % years.
For example, since 1880, he in
form US that the value Of the farm
products OF this: section has increas-
cd from SG6O.O00,00O to s2,225, 5,000.-
900. This is equivalent to 237 per
cent.
Moreover, while there are 1885,
100000 acres embraced at present
within the flaming lands of the South,
he gives US to understand that there
is still room for 100000 more
farmers-if they are the right sort.
Coming down to the finished pro-
ducts of the mill, We are told that
the capital invested in Southern man
ufacture has increased since 1880
from s257, 100000 at s2,100,0oo,-
900, and the value of the output has
grown from s457,OO0,OOO to $1,000
OO0. .o00.. From this invento-
ry it is evident that some magnifi-
cent fortunes have been made.
And the multitudes that have
flocked to other parts of the country
in quest of the golden fleece might
better have remained at home. But
the best is yet to coms.
For at the present rate of in
crease this statistical wizard in
forms us that the South's wealth
within the next half century will
reach sSO,Oo0.O00,0O0. Are not
these figures enough to make all Of
us optimistic? In the language of
the Anderson Mall, from which pap
er We get the above figures, why
should anybody ever think of leav-
ing the South?'
This great progress in the South
has been made under Democratic
State Government. and yet there are
some among US who want the South
to change her politics and become Re-
publican. In the face. of the figures
given above, we ask why?
If the South could keep the money
she makes, she would become the
richest country in the world, But
she Is robbed of millions and mil
lions Of dollars every year through
the operations Of the thieving tariff
laws which are passed in the inter-
est Of the trusts by the votes of some
of her own Congressman and Sen
ators. But she cant be kept down.
and sooner or later she will become
the garden spot of the world.

BICYCLE ROLLER SKATE.
The Taehypod Is Propelled by Weight
of the Body.


of the Body.
The tachypod is q new instrument of
locomoton invented by Pctrini. a tu
tor in the University of Ulsala. Swe-
den, says the Scientific American. 1t
Is q sort Of roller skate with rwo large
wheels resembling those of n bicycle.
. The wheels are attached 10 The lower
ends of two arms which are movable
about the icint which connects their
upper ends so that the arms can open
and shut like the blades Of pair Of
shears. Above the joint is Il plate or
shoe on which the foot of the opera
tor rests and which Is fastened to the
ankle by brace When the weight Of
the body is allowed to press Oh the
shoe the wheels and the arms separate
and unwind wire .cahip which is
wound on reel carried lIy the axle Of
the rear wheel and fastened by one
end to the axle of the front wheel
When the pressure IS removed by
shifting the weight of the body to the
other foot the wheels are brought to-
gether and the cable Is wound up. by
spring.
The reel is so mounted on the axle
that 1t runs loose when the cable Is
wound up. but engages with pawl
and turns the axle when the cable is
unwound-tllat is when the wheels
are forced aSunder by the weight Of
the body. Hence the rear wheel acts
as driving wheel. the source of en-
ergy being the weight of the body,
and as the weight is shifted alternate
" to the right and the left foot In the
ordinary motion Of walking one or the
other driver Is continually In opera
tinn and the wearer is impelied for
ward with considerable and nearly
Uniform velocity The inventor has
attained speed about equal TO that Of
a good hiryclist.

ril,man and Clemson College.

The Florence Times says Senator
Tillman's letter in regard to Clem-
sou college and the reasons for the
life trustees had lot of very in
teresting matter in it and some
mighty good arguments for that plan.
No matter how undesirable or un-
wise it may have appeared to US
then. to give the State the college
without giving it absolute control
OF the property, it is done now,, and
it has not proved as bad as we
thought, for we are from Missouri
In the mater of the complaint against
the life trustees Of that institution.
We have no idea in the world how
that matter could, in the least, have
affected the discipline OF the college
and We are right now up and against
any proposition to break UP the ex-
listing order of things in that insti-
tuition for:no good. unless it be to
boost some political aspirant's
chances for high office, for we think
that real demagoggery. If the board
will show where the trouble is we
think it can be, remedied, for we are
sure that no evil can exist without
remedy if We look for it. This
is very sensible view to take Of the
matter, and it is the one that the
people will take when they are called
to pass upon it in the campaign next
summer. The farther Clemson Col
lege can be kept from politics the bet
ter for the college and the best in
terests of the State.

Ellerl,e and Lever.

The Sumter Watchman and South
ron says:
..Congressmen Lever and Ellerbe
voted for the tariff on lumber and
thereby made themselves solid
with the saw-mill men of their
respective districts. 1t will be up
to the saw-mill men to stand up
for Eilerbe and Lever in the cam
paign next summer when they are
attacked on every stump in their
districts for repudiating the Dem
yer platform and voting with the
Republicans for Republican
measure"
We have no doubt but that the
lumber trusts will try to take care
of these gentlemen, as they voted
to take care of the trust, but If the
people are properly informed, they
will knock Ellerbe, Lever and the
Lumber Trust out of the box. The
fact that trust backs Congress
man for reelection shows that he
is not a fit representative of the pep
pie. Trusts are enemies Of the peo-
pie, and when a Congressman sc
votes as to get their support, he
certainly must have voted against
the Interests Of the masses OF the
people. who are the consumers.

institutions has lowered considerably
in recent years. 1t is possible they
