YIELDED 1852, 42s; in 1875. $1,413,64O in
1875, 81, > 29, 466, and in 1877, 1916, 253-the
total for the four years being S5,371,7s7. At
the last census the limits of school age were
five and eighteen years. and the number
of children was 100000. The proceeds OF
the sales of public lands during the last
four years have averaged about 81 $40. 600
year, and this, divided among the states
and territories, would give IL cents for
every child of school age. The number of
such children in Missouri was 577 1903, and
our states share in the distribution would
be SIS, 5SS per annum. This sum could be
invested in United States bonds as a perma-
nent fund, only the interest being used; but
as it would be increased by the annual dis
tributions, it would in a few years amount
to an important fund, and be a valuable aux
iliary to our educational system.

Fight Between Dog and Fish.

Prince Gortchakoff is credited with having
long ago said that war between Russia and
England would be like a fight between a dog
and fish. And yet we see large part of
the 100000 600 voted by parliament used in
strengthening the British navy, already be-
fore ten times strong as the Russian, and
perfectly capable OF commanding both the
Baltic and the Black. Besides completing
its own new ships, the British government
mas expended 81 zoo, 900 in buying the pow
erful Turkish steam ram Mendonhuie. now
the Superb, the Payki Sherref, now the Belle
isle, and the Brooji Zafer, sister of the
Payki Sherref. The two latter were in pro
cess of completion for the Turks. So the
fish, 1T seems, is making greater preparations
than ever to have its fight in the water,
while the dog is as fully determined not to
quit dry land.

our readers will regret to le.rn that Mr..
samuel ID. Langston of our town died on
Friday morning, the 18th inst, from the
ehect Oh the paralytic stroke from which he
had been suffering for more than twenty
one months. Mr. Langston HAD been iden-
tilted with the town of Anderson for
forty years. having come here when only
fifteen years old. During the time of his
residence here he was an extensive and
skilled contractor and builder, and the mon
uments Of his work not only stand in An
dersoD, but also throughout the whole of
upper Carolina. He filled the Office of
Town Councilman in Anderson for u num-
Der OF terms, and exercised strong intiu.
ence in town matters. In 1873 he became n
member Of the Masonic Order, and took
much interest in the craft. He served once
or twice as Master of Hiram Lodge at this
place. He was u charter member of the
first Temperance Division forued in Ander-
son, and was at the time of his death q
member OF this Order. in which he held va
rious positions. Mr.. .Langston served
through the Confederate war. at first he
was in the regular service, but later in the
war was appointed purchasing agent for the
commissary department of the government
and as such was an efficient and valuable
officer He was member OF the Anderson
Baptist Church for many years before his
DEATH and was modest, upright and faith
ful citizen and christian. Having been
stricken with paralysis on the 9th day OF
August, 1876, and being confined to his bed

unexpected, but came to him as deliver
from pain, when he was ready to go hence
with the calmness which marks the death
of the righteous. The General seryices were
