The radiant angel stands within Der room.
She kners and listens; on her heaying breast,
To still its hutterings, are her sweet hands
pressed,
The while his lips foreten her joyful doom.
Tears-happy tears-are rising, and bloom
OF maiden bushes clothes her that attest
The Rose she is. The haloed, heavenly guest
Lingers upon his cloud Of golden gloom
He gives to her the lily which he brings
Each cherub In the aureole above
Where harps unseen are pealing peace and love
Smiles with delight. and very softly sings;
While over Mary's head, on whitest wings
Hovers the presence Of the Holy Dove.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The driver of the patrol wagon looked at
the procession that filed out of the gambling
house and into his green and gold carryall,
conveyed by the attentive police.
There were two ex-champon pugilsts,
four bruisers who aspred to be champions,
one pugilistic manager, and several other
gentlemen ilustrious in the sporting world.

FIMOUS FEMINIST HERE. Madame Baker Located In the Store Of
 Howe &s StetsOM,

Madame Baker, one of the most noted palmiots in Connecticut, is located in the popular house of Howe & Stetson, and will be there for an indefinite per iod. Madame Baker is well known all over the state as being one of the most scientific palmists, having given twelve years of her life to the study. Doctors all over Connecticut speak highly of her and recommend anyone to her who wants to know about their health, bus mess capacity, etc. There is a long line of people in waiting each day, and hun dreds have already had their hands read. The reading of the hand by Madame Baker is not the same as that of a gypsy fortune teller, who will tell you that some dark man with tall eyes, or some short fat blonde will call to see you in three days, and that they will interfere with your love affairs Nelth- CT does she tell you that you will cross the@water and meet rich aunt, who will take liking to you and leave you all she possesses, or any of the regular fortune teller's yarns. Madame Baker knows the meaning of every line of the hand, and in an intelligent and scien- tific manner gives invaluable advice to all who come to her. Madame Baker can be found in the balcony of Howe x Stetson's every day after 9:30 o'clock in the morning. She has excited the won- derment of thousands by her accurate reading of character and past events in the lives of those who come to her pro- fessionally and have tested her skill in her art

School Books.

The State Board of Education has
completed its adoption of school books
for the public schools OF this State, and
under the law the County Superintend-
ent of Education is required to keep a
supply of books on hand to be sold at
cost. Just when Mr.. Wells will lay IN
his stock of books we cannot say, but
we presume he will forward his order
as soon as he receives official notice OF
the adoption. This is matter that we
propose to watch carefully and see to it
that the law is carried out. We pro-
pose to be reasonable and wait proper
length of time. but if there is any un-
necessary delay we feel it our duty to
bring the matter to the grand jury's
attention. The books must come and
they must be sold at actual cost.
Our local school opened up last Mon
dav morning and the parents of the
children were furnished with list of a
whole lot of new books they must buy
now. We do not understand this all,
and we would like for those in charge
of the school to let the parents know
why it is. that with new adoption on
hand. to he sold at actual cost, the chill
dren are required to get their new
books and pay profit on them before
the proper officer has time to get the
books adopted by the State board, and
which are to be supplied without profit.
1t does seem to US that under the cir
cumstances the purchase of new books
could be DELAYED few weeks and start
the children off with what they have
cot. Books are expensive, and if the
new adoption will figure in the local
school then we think it wrong to re-
o4aire the purchase of books now. 1t is
p6sible that the local school will not
use the books adopted by the State. and
will continue patronizing the American
Book Company: if so, the parents are
surely unfortunate, because the books
sent out by this company is trust con-
Germ and their books are nearly 40 per
cent higher, besides, their readers and
histories are not what Southern chill
dren should have. and under the new
adoption we get Southern histories,
Southern readers and at nearly one
half the price.
1t is not our purpose to criticize to
of the local school because
we believe those in charge are as anN-
ious for the welfare of the children as
are the parents, but this school book
matter gives US much concern, and we
do not want the parents to be paying
out money unnecessarily. If the new
adoption is to be used here we are anX-
iouS for the benefits, and a saving OF the
dealers profit is an item which will be

The cotton market is undergoing
many fluctuations, but we believe, ow-
ING to the short supply and the coming
demand there will be still greater
advance. and when it becomes settled
that the spectators cannot press down
the price the fluctuations will cease
and the price will become steadled.
1t is quite healthy sign to see the
farmers taking advantage OF the pres
ent prices of cotton to rid themselves
OF debt. they argue as we do. that the
price row is Il certainty and 1t Is
sufficient for them to unburden them
selves without taking chances OF
down shoot in the price. II they walt,
and lower prices set in, they may be
heavy losers and thereby put them
selves in position to not be able to
pay off their debts, as they can do roW
at present prices.

Executive Committee.

The County Democratic Executive
Committee met last Thursday to tabu-
late the returns of the second primary.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Davis and when the count
was made it was discovered thata large
number of the members had not shown
up. but after waiting few minutes the
necessary majority was gotten by per-
mitting members of the missing clubs
to act as proxies for their regular com
mitteemen, a practice that Is universal,
not only with county committees but
also with the State committee. 1t has
always been done in Clarendon.
Mr.. E. B. Gamble was present at the
meeting and desired the committee to
compare the polling lists with the club
rolls, claiming that he had information
which led him to believe that IN the
Farmers Platform club men were al
lowed to vote whose names did not ap-
pear on the club roll, but their mem
bership was elsewhere. The matter
was discussed at considerable length
and the committee decided not to make
the comparison as requested, because II
they did the result would not be atfec-
ted thereby. Mr.. Gamble made no
charges of fraud, but he did charge lr-
regularities, that in permitting man
to vote when his name was on some
other roll was not IN accordance with
the rules of the Democratic party.
Then MIR. Gamble made written re-
quest for committee to be appointed
to make examination OF the club rolls
