BOGUS SILVER DOLLARS 1t has
been discovered that West Virginia
towns have been flooded with thousands
OF counterfeit silver dollars. The
bogus money has the true ring, but it
is little over weight and perceptibly
larger in diameter. The milling is not
perfect, but so nearly so that it would
take an expert to detect the difference.
The people appear perfectly willing to
take them, although aware that they
were not minted by the government.
There is no clew to tho makers of the
spurious coin (if a coin composed of
more than the legal amount of silver
can be called spurious), but the money
appears to have gotten through legf-
innate trade channels.
The question with the people who
have taken the stuff is upon what
ground the department can condemn
the money. The enterprise was pro
badly started in response to oft-repcat-
ed newspaper suggestions that silver

ness as those made by the government
could be made at profit of 40 to As

DEATH OF JUDGE DOND.
4 Noted Member of tho Federal Judi
ciary-His Career Begun During the
Dark Days ofthc Civil War.

BALTIMORE, October 24.-Hugh l..
Bond, Judge of the United States Cir
cult Court, died hero this morning.
He has been in bad health for a year,
but his death was unexpected by his
friends and the public. For some days
Judge Bond had been confined to his
room by an attack of dyscntcry.
Symptoms of grave heart trouble were
manifested, and last night it was seen
by the physicians and family that death
was matter of but n few hours. Tho
distinguished sufferer passed away
quietly, surrounded by the members of
his household.
Ono year ago Judge Bond fell vic
tim to tho epidemic of grip, and since
that time he had been i'll from com
plication OF diseases. He was nearly
siXty-fivo years old, and grip left it's
effects. In the summer he spent
several months at his cottage at Deer
Park, and apparently derived much
benefit. He returned to Baltimore in
September, and his last appearance
upon the bench was on September 20.
Judge Bond leaves widow and three
sons. The sons are Nicholas Z. Bond,
Il candidate upon the Republican ticket
for Associate Judge of the Supreme
Bench Hugh l.. Bond, Jr., of the

Editor Bowden Talks About the
Action of the Southern Senators
He Says that Repeal Will Make IL
Square Issue.
When the announcement was made
that tho Southern Senators who had
been fighting for silver, had given up
the fight and would vote for the repeal
BILL it was but natural for all to wonder
what the silver politicians in this State
thought of the action of the men whom
they fondly believed would die for the
white metal.
Mr.. j. w. Bowdcn. editor of the Cot
ton Plant, was visited and he willingly
gave his vicws. He said "Wcll, I
think that the Southern Senators on
the silver side generally have done all
that the" laid have done in the mat

However, do not see any good that a
continued fight could do to ANYBODY.
The passage OF the repeal bill will
cause reaction, which, while it will
be temporary in its character will aid
in the marketing of this years cotton
crop. and one reason favored the i'm

have kept the question out of the next
campaign to Il certain extent. So far
as the effect, politically, goes it will
result in strengthening the union be-
tween tho agricultural sections OF the
country and in that way the repeal will
be much better for us than compro-
mise, or the law remaining as it is"
Governor Tillman when asked for
his views on tho subject said he did not
care to say anything whatever about it

THE COURSE OF STUDY.
Uniform Plan for the Management
ofthe Public Schools.


The State Board Of Examiners not
long ago appointed Prof. Mccain, of
Due West, to prepare course OF study
for use in all the public schools Of this
State, and he has completed the work.
The following Introduction to the plan
gives some idea of what is proposed to
be done, ,and explains the reasons for
seeking uniformity in the course Of
study:
The State Board of Examiners feels
that there is need of graded course
OF study in the public schools Of South
Carolina. Under the present system
each school is left to itself, and as
teachers are often young and mex
perienced, it could not be expected
that they would be able to arrange
course in such way as to accomplish
the best results. They have no doubt
done the best they could under the
circumstances, but il they had course
outlined for them they could have
done still better work, and the chill
dren could have made still better pro-
gress.
Other States have adopted some
such plan as the one here prepared
the results. 1t gives more uniformity
|
the'regular progress of the pupil from
year to year whether underct the same
or under different teachers. 1t gives
to the various studios their proper
place and emphasis, and hus prevents
change or q mere repetition Of studies
when IL new teacher takes charge Of
school. 1t enables the pupils t.
study with much more interest as il
sets before them a definite end to bt
reached, a definite course to DO com
pleted.
AS the conditions vary somewha
in different localities, it is expected o
course that it will sometimes be neces
sary for the teacher, in the exercise o
his judgment, to make some change
in the plan in order to adapt it to th'
special needs of his school.
1t is recognized that the length o
the school term is not the same every
where. The average time, however
is about three and u half or four months
In two years therefore tho children Q
the public schools receive about th
same amount of instruction as
received in town or city schools wher
the session is usually about cigh
months long. Accordingly in thi
course of study two school years {
about four months each are take
together as if they constituted on
session Of about eight months. School
that run fora longer or shorter perio
than four months can complete NOR
or less of the course in one year.
The patrons of each school are carr
estly advised 10 supplement-, whencTe
l it is possible, the public funds in orde
:, that the schools may everywhere b.
open for eight months each year.
The rest OF the article, which cover
twenty-five legal cap pages of manu-
script, suggests course of study ant
is filed, in the form of an essay, will
suggestions and advice to the teacher
in minute detail as to how the diiferen
branches and grades should be taught
That part OF the article is of intcros
and value to the teachers only, all q
whom will be supplied with it.

In describing the recent death Of a

the lightning in a manner similar to
that Of making pictures or Photography.
This, however, is ~ correct. While

On the bodies Of persons killed they bear
no relation whatever To foliage Of sur

At the trees on the body. That the ac-
tnal cause is quite different can be proved
by experiment in the laboratory. When

rs lightning Is, on the surface of a body
having a poor conducting power. a lu-
ninous arborescent image is formed,
showing the path of one or more of the
sparks resulting from the discharge.
This was most beautifully shown in
the experiments carried put with high
tension currents in London by SWIM
buEne. The current would exhibit scat
tered lines Of light that would develop
into most exquisite tracery and take the

this phenomenon is that the irregular

THE BANK CASES.

The proceedings of the United States
grand Jury in the Stock Growers Ma
tiunal bank cases. as given in this issue.
will not. we believe. be received with
qualification or satisfaction by anyone IN
this community. for while there are
many who have suffered by the cofessed
acknowledgment of tae Stock Growers
bank and rightfully have a feeling of IN
aignation that such things are possible
under the law. and perhaps IA desire that
punishment should be melted out to the
guilty. still when it is learned that the
dread machinery of the law has started
that rumor has crystaliized into legal
accusation of crime-that the accused
are our friends and neighbors who
have worked tremendously and enthusl.
astically with us for the advancement OF
the interests of our little community.
and whom we have always respected as
citizens and cherished as friends-and
when the crimes charged are such as. il
proven. must cause the penitentlary
doors to swing inward to receive them as
convicts, there can be no man in this
community who can say. 1t is good.
1t may be just. 1t may be right. 1t is
doubtless a proper proceeding for the
protection OF the people against the
evils Of a banking system that is almost
criminal in its laxity. but it is not good.
What the outcome will be. no one can
say. The large number OF counts in
the main indictment against Harry
Bachelor would indicate effective work
by the grand jury in the line OF a con-
~yiction. though conviction does no al
ways follow indictment. and the counts
may be so linked together and related to
each other that the disproving OF n
would cause many to be dropped. The
case of the other two defendants will
no doubt in a great measure hang upon
the ascertained criminality of Mr.. Batch
elor. as / is their actions as subordinate
officers of the bank that are questioned.
which actions were presumably directed
by Mr.. Bachelor as manage and presl-
dent of the bank. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made to procure a post
ponement of the trials of these cases
until the spring term of court. As III

hearts of the community and sways

cases that involve the prosecution of

any community. who aside from
the influences and ties Of friend
