Expansion bolts are made In many styles and stses. They are used when? ever an object la to be fastened to brick, stone, marble, concrete, tile, or elate. They are made In every con? ceivable slse?from 1-8 inch to 2 inches In diameter?for use with wood screws, machine screws, lag screws, and machine bolts. A rather novel expansion screw recently intro? duced consists of two parts?one un ordinary screw proper, and the other aa expansion sleeve of lead composi? tion After the hole is drilled, the expansion sleeve is inserted and tho screw thrust Into the sleeve. As the screw Is turned in with the screw? driver, the Inner end of the expansion sleeve expands, snd buries Itself firm? ly Into the materlul. A similar principle is adopted in a two- piece lag screw, which is used In large quantities by the government. This particular lag screw is designed for use with all coach or lag screws a^om l-St Inch to 1S-32 Inch in diam? eter. The Synod of South Carolina will meet In Charleston Friday.

Will Cost About One Hundred Thou nand DollurH When Completed und Heady for Furniture. This article from the Orangeburg Times and Democrat gives an Idea of what Orangeburg Is doing In the ho? tel line: The new hotel being erected In this city by C. VV. Wolfe. Esq.. which will be one of the most beautiful and cost? ly buildings in the State, is nearing completion and will soon be ready for occupancy. It will give Orangeburg one of the handsomest hotels in the State, and we hope it will stand for many years to come as a monument to the pluck and enterprise of W. C. Wolfe, Esq.. who not only conducts a large practice in copartnership with Capt. J. A. Berry, but found time vo erect two of the handsomest buildings in the city. The hotel is built of brick and is trimmed In granite and is five stories high without the basement. It is one hundred and fifty feet long by sixty feet wide. It would hardly be possi? ble for such a structure as this to be put up with any more windows than It has and arranged as suitably to give beauty to the edifice. A quite unique part of the building is the Spanten style tower. The tower makes an extension room on each floor and there is a window on each side of the bay window effect, giving each room three windows on the front view. There are two verandas in the front of the hotel and one on the side and together with the other outside work these make it an imposing structure and one of which the city of Orange burg can Justly feel proud. Money has not been spared to make the inside of the building beautiful, convenient and comfortable. There will be one hundred rooms, each an outside room with plenty of light, air and ventilation. There are forty pri? vate baths. The immense corridors extend the length of the building and the dining room and parlors and oth? er apartment are spacious and beau? tiful. Each room will be provided with electric lights and telephone and electric fans will be plentiful. The building will be steam heated, sup? plied with waterworks and sewerage, provided with an electric elevator, al? though there are flights of stairs by which one can easily make his way from one story to the other. The lob? by of the hotel will be tiled and all the necessary conveniences will be sdded. The situation of the structure Is most suitable f-?r a hotel. It fronts on the town square and on one side la the Barton brick building, where the Elks reside and on the other is the Scovllle brick structure In which Is the Orangeburg bank. It is built on a corner and on the southeast cor? ner of the same block will be erected the government building, for which $50.000 was appropriated some time ago. The lot on which this structure will be raised sold for $10,000 and Is 135 feet by 114. This will be only a one story structure and only $40,000 will be spent In the building, as one-fifth of the appropriated monej had to go for the purchase of the lot. The check for the $10,000 has been drawn and preparations are being made by the owners of the buildings on the property to remove them. The price paid will give an Idea of what the bare lot on which stands the hotel building is worth. The outlay of money on the Wolfe edifice will not doubt reach the $100, 000 mark. It will be only a short time now before the building will be In the proper condition for rent, as there only remains a little work to be done for the completion of the first, second and third stories and It will be rented as soon as a suitable tenant can be obtained. There are two ho? tels in the city now, besides boarding houses, but a good hotel-keeper in the new building should do well. George W. Walters, white, aged 60, who was on tr.nl In the Federal court In Greenville, for muking moonshine whiskey was stricken with apoplexy in the court house Wednesday after? noon and died in a short time.

Miss Tsudu's English school for girls In Tokio Is said to be doing a pioneer work of much importance In Japan. She is really laying the foun? dation for higher education among Japanese? women.

Farmer, of Four States Hold Secret j Meetlm: at Danville. Danvtlh Ya., Oct. 20.?At a secret moetlng of representativeg from 'our States of the Farmers' Educational | and Co-operative Union of America, j held here today, plans were formulat- i ed to light what is termed the Tobac- | co Trust and to regulate the price on tobacco. What this plan is was not I made public. Resolutions were adopt- | j ed opposing night riding and other j forms of violence and condemning j the public sales on warehouse floors ! of tobacco, which, the union delclares, | is like the selling of a dead man's I property. Two hundred representa? tives from Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee attended the meeting The opening session was public ,but gfter a few addresses the union went ' into executive session. The meeting was called to order this morning by B. F. Earler, of Lynchburg, State or? ganizer for Virginia, who presented J. C. Green, organizer for North Car? olina. Mr. Green, in V brief talk, said that along every line of trade and commerce the prices for products were regulated by trusts except in case of the farmer. The trusts, he said, were here to stay, and he ad? vocated the adoption of some meas? ure by which the farmerc ould com? pete with the situation. Dr. H. Q. Alexander, president of the North Carolina Farmers' Union, was elected permanent chairman. He characterized the practice of selling tobacco at auction on the warehouse floors as a farce, and con? tended that the only bidders for the products were the trusts and their al? lied Interests. "I recently saw a pile of tobacco . sold In North Carolina for 2 cents a pound," he said. "It was bought in I by the American Tobacco Company, j The farmer had to take the money, for he could not carry the tobacco back home and feed It to the hogs or make any any other use of it." The farmers' union is a national or? ganization, with State organizations. It has a membership of 60,000 in the four States represented at the meet? ing, 4,000 of whom are in Virginia. 1 The total membership is 3.000,000 ! and the union has committees and de : partments whose object Is to look j after the raising of every class of farm products. i Mr. Leo ICIller received* a t< legra.hi Sunday night stating mat his brother, Engineer Jame sii?er, had been ser! | ousiy Injured in an accident in the i Columbia freight yard. Inquiry as to the extent of the accident brought the Information that the accident was of small consequence apart form the In? jury of Engineer Miller. Tvta box cars that were running wild on a switch ! were side-swiped by the engine which Mr. Miller was running. The engine i sustained very little damage, and it is , difficult to find an explanation for En > gineer Miller's serious injury. To live In hearts we leave behind Is not to die.?Campbell. THE LAW OF LOVE. \\y Libert Hub hard. in the beginning of his career man is repressed and surpassed by nature. Fear haunts his footsteps. The 8l<a dOWi of the forest are filled with the unknown. To get out into the open? out into the clearing?where he can see is his desire. And on the great order of things this is well, for the impulse to see and know lerds to all that is good. # But here we find the great primal fear of the forest?the place of hid? ing! It was the monkey that took to the plains, that stood upright and ob? served, and le -en to run, that in? volved into a Out on the plains the man recovers from his fright and looks around. He finds a few trees, and near them is a bubbling spring of water. He is refreshed by the water, and the shade is grateful. Then it dawns upon him by slow degrees that trees and water always go together, and that society is only possible where these things exist. Surely that Texas man was right; Water, trees and society is all that hell lacks of being paradise. Man contrives to divert the water of streams and plant trees. These trees grow just in proportion as they are wisely watered and culti? vated. And here is a thing that man does not know until way along in the game, that is, that in cultivating the tree he cultivates himself. But man notes this, that where trees grow showers come, too, from the skies, lor water and foliage mu? tually attract. So from a state of fear of the forest, man learns to love the trees. From being depressed by nature, he co-operates with her. He percieves that man himself is a part of nature and under the domain of the same great natural laws that control the tree. The last lesson is that in a great degree we can not only co-operate with nature, but we can also control her. So, from being a victim, man becomes a master. This discovery of unity and one? ness and next the mastership, is the work of those rare souls, men of great faith, great originality, indivi? duality and power of Initiative whom, for lack of a better term, we call genuises. It is easy to say, "We are a part of all we see and hear and feel," when many others are saying the :ame. But how eras it when man sai "This world is bur a gegart dreari heaven is my home? The genuis is the man who stands at the pivotal point and flings into the teeth f|E entrenched prejudice his own thought, pitting himself against the ignorance of the past. With no uncertain tone and without apology he lifts up his voice and cries aloud, "They have said unto you in olden times, ? ? ? but I say unto you! And again, "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.'* , Send us your job work. One Was Enough for Johnny. The Sunday-school lesson was from that scripture which teaches that if your brother strike you on the cheek, you should turn the other also and endure even for seventy times peven. Johnny had listened to his teacher very attentively while she emphasized this fact, and after the lesson the su? perintendent rose to make a few re? marks. "Now boys," he said, "how many times ought another boy to strike you before you hit him back?" "Just about once!" promptly an? swered Johnny.?The Delineator. Alfred Merlng, colored, was killed at Donalds on Tuesday by Robert Seawright, white. FOR SAT?*' The Mol ?, 161 1-2 ten iure* iwamp R. R. p t. J P. ftmiter, Sum? ter, s. i L0-U-?
