School Books.
Assistant Attorney General G. P.
Townsend gives it as his opinion that
it is entirely discretionary with the
County Board of Education whether q
special fund shall be set aside for the
purchase of school books for the schools
of the county at actual cost. They may
if deemed advisable, but are not re-
quired to do so, IS some have thought.
So Mote It Be,
Senator B. r. Tillman called on
President Mckinley a few days
since, and after the interview pro-
nounced MAC a good fellow" If
this means that our Senator has
a "pull" with the President we hope
he will use it to keep a Demo-
cratic postmaster at Edgefeld dur
ing McKinley's administration, as
Senator Butler kept one in during
Harrison's term.
Ten Thousand Per Month.
The State board of control has
decided that it could and would
put aside for the credit of the gen.
eral fund $4,000 per month, but
that the money would not be paid
into the State treasury at this time
as the State has a good deal of
cash on hand, but the money will
be accumulated for the State treas
urer, when wanted, at the rate Of
$4,000 per month.

The State Board of Education
has adopted a series of 25 rules
for the schools which materially
change conditions as to schools in
the state. The most important of
the rules are: No trustee can en-
ploy q teacher related to them with

schools. Nor can such a teacher
be related 10 principal.
The. third grade certificates as 20
teachers are abolished.
There are to be three instead of
two examinations for,teachers.
There will be but one set of ques.
tions ..and 75s instead of 80 is
requisite for the first grade and 70
for the second; but no one shall be
given a certificate who fails to
make so on any grade. The State
board alone can give the right to
any one to sell supplies and the
county board can prevent such
sale of supplies in the county. Upon
a permit from the county board
supplies approved by the state
board may be bought.
