Senator Vance Cracks a Joke at Senator
Beck's Expense.

WASHINGTON, June lot was a
knotty point which had come up before
the Finance Committee Of the Senate.
Mr.. Beck would not or could not be
convinced that Mr.. Vance was correct
in a certain statement he had made
regarding the matter
"Why don't YOU put it in writing,
man?" exclaimed the stalwart Ken
tuckian with more than naturalempha-
sis in his tone What you say goes in
at one ear and out at the othcr.''
"Ah," replied the witty Vance, wink
ing roguishly at Senator Allison, who
sat at the head of the table, ''that's be-
cause there is nothing there to stop it,
The other members of the committee
laughed heartily, but Mr.. Beck looked
stern.

explained, land I didn't know what
it meant. Ma said she had no idea

On the Democratic side the starting
point is, of course, the solid South, with
its 1856 votes. This is 80 votes less than
the Republican starting-point, but the
great advantage of the Democratic posi-
ton lies in their superior prospects for
carrying the States of New York and
New Jersey, whose combined vote,
added to that of the South, would
bring them within three votes of a
majority. New York and Indiana
would give them 204, or 8 to spare
without New Jersey. The chief Demo
cratic combinations are as follows.

schools in which the children of rich
and poor have all equal chance Of OBJ
tanning an education, they stand alone,
unapproached and unapproachable.
The schools Of Newberry, as far as they
90 and for the children whom they
reach, are no doubt excellent, but if
the money and teaching force which is
now being dissipated by being divided
among number of schools, were all
concentrated on one grand effort, sys-
tenn could be evolved, which would be
the pride and glory of the town and
county.
In the last session of the Legislature.
as we'll as in several previous sessions,
quite 4 number tf acts enabling towns
to vote tax for graded school purposes
were passed. Let Newberry and Pros
perity fall into line next December.
Graded schools are coming. Do not
wait until they are forced upon you.
