An Important Decision.

Judge Townsend made most impor-
tant order Thursday at Florence. one
that will have most decided effect upon
the public school system of South Caro-
lima. Briefly stated the case is as. fol-
lows The School Commissioner of
Florence County refused to turn over
to the trustees Of the Florence Graded
School any portion Of the constitution
al two mills tax collected in Florence
County. The trustees brought suit to
have him compelled to turo over to
them certain portion Of the money
collected IN Florence County under the
two mills school tax such as they had
received in previous years. The de-
fense SET up by the School Commissioner
for not giving any money to the afore-
said trustees. saszshaetbe graded school
made charge for tuition and was not
therefore free school, aud was not en-
titled to any portion of the constitu-
tional two mills tax, which is levied for
the free public schools. The trustees
attempted to refute the allegation that
they charged for tuition in the graded
school. Judge Townsend held that it
did not matter whether they did OF did
not charge, for their charter gave them
the right to charge for tuition and
therefore their school vas not free
public school 10 Law, and was not enti-
tied to any Of the proceeds Of the school
tax. In commenting on Judge Town
sends order the Columbia Register
very truly says it is very interesting
enunciation of a legal principle and it
will have farreaching effect as many
of the graded school of the State make
charge for tuition or are authorized by
their charters to make such charge, and
yet receive part of the two mills tax
collected in their counties. 1t is likely
than an appeal from Judge Townsend's
decision will be taken to the Supreme
Court; if that tribunal sustains his de-
cisiop, quite number of graded schools
will have to make their tuition free Of
charge or else do without any share Of
the two mills tax--Times and Demo.

Chart of the Sky.

An international congress met in Paris
in 1887 and resolved to make photo
graphic chart of the whole sky. The work
was begun in 1891, and as it is expected
to occupy about 10 years it will form fit
ting close to century which has been SO
rich in astronomical discoveries Eighteen
observatories, scattered over the world,
are taking part in tho work. Similar in
struments and plates Of exactly the same
size-four square degrees-will be used.
Each photograph is to be duplicated to
prevent mistakes, and also there are to be
two series Of exposures, SO that some A.,
600 photographs in all will be taken.
A short exposure series will form cat
alogue Of about 100000 stars down to
the eleventh magnitude, while the other
series will be exposed 40 minutes and
will form chart containing about 22, 0O0,-
600 stars down to tie fourteenth magni-
tude. The entire map of the sky, when
finished, will cover globe ~ yards in
diameter. In two or three generations
astronomers, by comparing this chart with
their own observations, will know much
more than we do about the relations and
relative motions Of the suns and systems
of space, and whittier our own little solar
system is bound and with what velocity.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Prosecution Attorney in West
ern Kansas village had been out with the
boys the night before and taking lead
ing part in free fight in which one
saloon had been cleaned out and .consid-
cradle damage done to the glassware
and fixtures in another.
In pursuance of his regular duty as an
official he appeared before the police
magistrate next morning, fully sobered
and ready for business. In front of him
was stack of lawbooks, and he held in his
hand a warrant for his own arrest on the
charge of drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct.
Your Honor, he said, rising and address
ing the court with emphasis and delibera-
ton, as Village Attorney l am here to
prosecute this case. And as defendant,
he added, jabbing long bowie knife
into the table and laying huge navy
revolver down by the side of it, am here

DR. . PEIERCE'sS
Golden Medical
Dissolve IE}>Y
Cures MGety=eight per cent. of al
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
centage of cases, and we believe fulIy %
per cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copiou3 expectoration Gnclud-
ing tubercular 1natter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal nalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy euusions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. EXTRACT OF matt, Wh1Skey,
and various preparations of the hypophos.
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption. bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarsh and kindred lnaladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents III stamps.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated an the site of On
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga.p-ho.ge.
1t is probably the Oldest civilized COM
munity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities dis.
agree as to whether this city or San Angus
tin, Fla,wcre first founded. Santa Fe was
first visited by American traders in 1904,
and from that time dated a wonderful era
Of prosperity. The thrilling incidents ofthe
old Santa Fe trail, starting from Westport,
Mo-, gave it world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANITARIuA.
Prof Mark Harrington, chief of the u S.
weather bureau, says: Santa Fe is in the
driest habitable part of the United States.
This region is extensive, and changes in
form from season to season, but Santa Fe is
always in it."
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Ee range, and its climate is dominated
by the influence of mountain peaks that
tower nearly $4,000 feet high. Together
with this it lies at an altitude of 7015 feet,
and latitude about the 3Gth degree north,
that gives it a peculiar advantage as SAN
itarium. The elevation tcmpers the summer
heats, which naturally should be about that
OF Memphis, Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and
its southern situation reduces the rigors of
winter. As all illustration, during the win
ter Of 1898, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather and last winter the omission did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being ''too lazy to breathe" as a great ply
stefan expressed it. The rare, ozonated air
permeates every cell of the lungs, and thus
prevents hemorrhage.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. s. Weather observation office has
been stationed here for % years, and the
following statistical data tells better than
words how even and mild is the climate of
Santa Fe. Taking the summer heat and the
winter cold the following tables show a
most equable and delightful temperature.

A FORSAKEN IDOL

Jacob buried his gods at Shechem--
Castoff idols of stone and wood.
Well he wot they would meier bespeak
him
Further evil nor future good,
Nevertheless he could not treat them
Just like pieces of wood and stone,
When he thought how he'd tried to seal
them
Up aloft on an altar throne.
Once an idol fondly cherished,
Which was known by the name yor
bear,
But my faith in its virtues persisted
When found it was false as fair.
Nevertheless could not break it
Like an image Of worthless clay,
When thought how tried to make it
All ever could hope or pray.
In my heart, down shady hollow,
Where the willow of weeping waves
Hide false gods, was won't to follow
Out of sight In forgotten graves.
There you lie with no name above you
With no epitaph false or true
Save the fact that used to love you
Ere at Shechem buried you.
