ARCHER uN TDuCAvION.

senator Archer SAID he was a
candidate for governor because
South Carolina had never cdu-
Gated the masses. His own fam.
lily had experienced this. The
policy of the State had always
been to provide for the college.
at the expense of the common
schools. If parent had $50 to
start her child at college with,
the State, through the United
States treasury would give him
1925 more per year, but if he
stayed in the common school. he
would get only 81. so. If elected
governor he would veto some of
the wasteful educational appro
priations. The entire taxes of
Williamsburg county if doubled
would not equal the salaries of
the % professors regaIing Glenn.
son.
Mr. Archer said that Larry
CAN'T had offered to run for con-
gress against Stanyarne Wilson if
he would put up $3.50 to buy out
Wilson's stock. He could not
measure lies with CAN'T, who was
the peer of any man in misrepre.
sentation and prevarication.
Mr. Archer's speech was appar
emily very effective and brought
him frequent applause.

Not one bit of your scoop" is true, and the next time you get an item of like nature it will doubtless pay you to investi- gate. See
 We have been reliably informed that the Cotton Belt is thinking of no such movement, although, come to think of iti,t would be very benes ficial to thriving Pine Bluff.

THE ACACIA CLUB
quilted.


 The "Acacia Literary Society," is destined to become one of Pine Bluffs most interesting and instruc- tive organizations. It's object is for mental improvement with musical and social enjoyment. A partial description of the last meet ing may interest some of your read CTS. Promptly at p. m. the mem- bers had assembled at the home of Miss Gussie Taggart, the appointed hostess for that afternoon.
 The "House" being called to or der, each member responded to the roll with selection of poetry froe1 faYorite author. The readers are appoin ted alphabetically, and the first paper read was by Mrs. W. Coleman, on the "Origin and Pro- gress of the English Language. It was a deep subject and required study and thought to accomplish such thorough particulars.
 The next paper, obligingly read by Mrs. Young for an absent mem- Der, was on 'Fhe Religion and Poli- tics of England to the 18th Centu- ry." In this was explained the mythologlcal arrangement of the days of the week, the origin of the "Round Table, also of the Blouse of Lords, the "House of Commons, :" and other interesting and gratify- ing information.
 The third paper was by Miss Will lie Atkinson, on the subject of the Rough Stone and the Bronze Age of England. The condition of the inhabitants and their surroundings, even when that island first separat- ed from the main land, she "Chalk Cliffs" the "Cave Men," with their Rough stone, and afterwards Pol. lshed-stone implements of defense, and other unknown or forgotten in formation of those remote ages, were interest," ting topics.
 Music at intervals by Miss Giles pie and Mrs. Coleman, added in cresed inspiration to the occasion.
 The dignity and presiding ability of Mrs, N. B. Trulock and the pleas ing manner of Mss Taggart, the hostess, arc too well known for com ments.
 The Acacia organization is com mendable in every respect, and should be encouraged by husbands. parents and friends-a good exam pie being perpetual precept, the younger members of our community will be encouraged to cultivate the same taste.
 Literature is part of the world s History, and in many respects the most important part; for the real life of a nation is preserved In its literature. The student who is ia miliar with the personal memoirs, letters, plays and sones of any era, has better knowledge of the char acter and condition of the people, than all the formal histor;ee can give him.

President Mckinley was characterized tonight
by Senior Dupuy DE Lone to friend who men
