BY diligently studying these simple
lessons the pupil will he prepared to make
much more rapid Roadway i'm the subse-
quent developments of the art.
SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDENTS.
The student should provide himself
with paper ruled with single lines.
Books especially designed for the pur-
pose can be bought at any stationery store
for n few cents
The pupil can use either pencil or
pen for writing his exercises.
A pencil of medium softness is recon-
mended. Most stenographers use "A No.
2 grade.
The pen or pencil should be held in the
same general position as in writing long
hand.
The student should be very careful not
to attempt TO write with rapidity at the
start.
Legibility counts for everything in
shorthand.
If the student is careless in the forma-
tion of his signs, he will find it very
difficult TO read them.
IL will be noticed that some Of the
signs presented in this lesson are blacker
than others.
This shading should be produced by
pressure, not by going over the line n
second time.

We have not followed up DR.. Kilgo's
many sermons and addresses, and do
not know to which particular effort a
writer in The Charlotte Observer refers
who signs himself "Veritas." HI raises
this point in a pointed way:
Wasn't DR.. Kilgo a bit unfortunate
when he chose Paul as the representa-
tive of the Church school? Paul., truly
was a great man; but the whole effect
of his church training had beer to make
him a narrow bigOt with a disposition
and delight to murder those who did
not agree with him. 1t took the most
marvellous miracle of the ages to con-
vert him to the truth and free him from
the shackles of sectarianism. 1t was the
grace of God, and not the inspiration
of the church school that afterwards
moved Paul to write: Nov abideth
faith, hope and charity: these three,
but the greatest of these is charity"

This country in the times leading to
the war of Independence.
We need q lucid, fair, truthful ac-
count OF events. The north has al
ready monopolized the business of
producing lying, one-sided, slanderous
so-called histories. In 1875, we began
to examine and criticise some Of these
false, prejudiced, sectional books, that
teemed with f~alsehoods. The years
that have passed since then have 0
bettered historic productions of the war
but little. What northern book has
been candid and truthful enough to
state that the north a nearly $500, 900
men in the armies exclusive of the
great navy, and the south had but 600,-
900? This truth would be too much a
reflection upon the proves Of the north
to ever find its way into a school his
tory, or any history. It is a positive
insult to the south to Introduce lying
histories, written for a bad purpose,
into the schools. The parents ought
not to allow it. The time is not dis
tant when a southern work will be
written pom the great war that will
be read and may catch the ear Of the
world.
We did not see Mrs. Davis letter ad-
concerning a fair school history. We
have seen up to now but one extract
from il. She is a true and noble wo-
mar and seeks the truth only. In the
passage ve have seen she urges less

more the prominent trait of the south

Professor Burgess writes in a good
spirit and appreciatively of President
Davis, which is to his credit for candor
and discernment. We gave what he
said in a former editorial.

Major Mckinley is a good blower and
promiser. He is not always consistent
with himself and his promises are not
generally we'll based. He has not been
as wise, as faithful. as consistent as
was hoped for and predicted by the en-
thusiastic party horn-blowers. Would
you believe that a cautious. s%elf-con-
tanned, able. faithful chief executive
would eve be caught approving Of a
bill like the vile. dishonest. reckless
civil-service sundry bill? A true man
one faithful to the people, would not
sign such a bill for a crown. This bill
takes in taxes from the toiling people
the huge sum of S53, 000, 900. 1t is a
bill of outrage and robbery, overrun-
ming with jobs and unnecessary eXpen-
ditures. But the major signed because
his wicked partisans said il must be
lone. The Richmond Dispatch says:
The New York Evening Post, in
commenting on the presidents incon-
sistency in respect of this matter, notes
that just three months after delivering
his inaugural the sternly economical
executive quietly signed a s~pendthdlft,
log-rolled bill. which his predecessor
killed. and which his own party leaders
and press have denounced as indefen-

There are so many combinations as
to the value of the new treatment in
that dreadful, most fatal disease dip.

senger recently ave some important
statistics from The New York Medical
Record. The LOndon Asylums Boards
have reported quite lately as to anti
toxin results in diphtheria treatment.
The year 1894, is taken for comparison.
The percentage of mortality to all
cases was 29.6 in 1894, and POS in 1896;
in cases of infants under five years of
age, 47.4 and 3O.2 respectively; 1aryn-
geal cases $40 and 29.6, and tracheo-
tony cases, 7O.4 and 41.0. Evidently
here was great gain. The facts thus
far gathered show clearly that the an
titoXin treatment is the most efficacious
yet discovered, although it does not
effect as many cures as was first ex-
pected and perhaps reported when it
began to be experimental.

Every rejecting man must believe
that it is the duty of the south to raise

meat. 1t is ridiculous for a people with
such soil and climate as ours to
look to other states and peoples for
food for man and beast-fOr horses and
mules, and for all the things now
bought of the north that makes the
south %eternally dependent and tribu-
tary to the enrichment of the colder
section. Representative McLaurin (now

The News and Courier turns this wit
ness to its own favor. Without ques-
~tioning the ability and personal charm
of the brilliant young professor. it finds
danger IN the very attractiveness and
popularity and with cause. 1t says, and
certainly with much FEASIBILITY:
The fact that ne has twice within
the past two years been voted the most
popular professor at Sewanee shows
that he must have acquired a deep hold
upon the students of the university. and
the additional fact that many of the

plucky fight throughout.
In the ninth and tenth rounds, Sui
Ivan forced the fighting and really
had the better of his opponent until

fine punches in the face.

in his left, but was again cautioned for

fifteenth Sullivan was evidently getting
weak But he managed to land his
left and right on Planners ribs. and

of pluck. in spite Of his weakness. Pal
mer seemed content with his previous
work and just maintained his advan-
tage.

all he knew how to bring off knock
out, but failed. In the nineteenth the
American reached the face and head
of the Englishman. but received severe
punishment in return on the nose and
mouth.

defeat that he went. but his game ef-
