The shady grove on the biutf OF M SCOTS us

Older and vet young folks" were

Wnen the schools Of this county re-
open for the fall term there will be
new books to be purchased, and the
Leg stature has wisely, in our judg-
ment. required al of the county super
inteadents to make their offices depot
for the supply of books at cost. The
saving that this will be to the people
can not be calculated, as for every book a
parent has to buy there will be a saving
of from 20 to so per cent. The item OF
school books is considerable to family
and we know of no article that has been
subjected to more fraud than the article
of school books. Somebody heretofore
connected with the educational system
in this State has either been the recip-
lent of rebates or he has permitted a
book trust to rob the people OF South
Carolina of thousands of dollars. The
State Board of Education recently re-
tired, made a seven-year contract with
the American Book Company, and this
concern has been furnishing the books
for our schools for the past seven years
at prices much higher than the same
company supplied the same books IN
other States. Why this discrimination
against South Carolina: Did it require
more money to get the contract in this
State. or was it because the officials
contracted with, were incompetent:
The American Book Company is con-
nected with trust and it is such a
strong concern that it is enabled to
drive out competition, and when our
new State Board assemblies to contract
with book concerns, if they will make
a careful investigation of the former
contract and compare the prices we are
paving for our books with the prices
paid for the same books from the same
concern in other States where compe-
tition was considered by their boards,
they will see that it is to the interests
of the people of this State, that no con-
cern be permitted to rob the school
children as has been done heretofore.
South Carolina is entitled to get school
books for her children as cheap as Ten
nessee. Alabama or any other State,
and if she does not, then it is due to
corruption or incompetency.

Our venerable friend Col. J. \. Hovt
of the Greenville Mountaineer: claims
the editor of this paper to be an AS
tute politician" This is terrible ac-
cusation for our friend whom we rever-
ance to make against novice in poll
tics. Surely Colonel Hoyt must have
US mixed with some of his Prohibition
friends who want "Prohibition-Dispen-
sarv." There are some politicians that
have knack OF inventing something
new in the shape of an idea TO pull
themselves into Office. and the latest
scheme to be presented to the people,
comes in the shape of a prohibition
dispensary." Just what sort of an in
stitution that is, will not be known un-
til it has been put into practical opera
ton; now if some inventive genius will
advocate "a temperance jug Of liquor"
we might understand that to mean a
very weak, toddy-like decoction, which
can be bought cheap so that it would
take longer to make drunk come. In
the absence of any information about
the meaning Of a ''prohibition-dispen-
sary,' our Interpretation is, that it IS
a net thrown out on the one side. to
catch Prohibitionists, and on the other
side to catch DispensaryiteS These
politicians who are so solicitous for the
welfare of humanity, and can quote the
Bible to help them in their quest for
votes, seem to forget the Bible was here
when the dispensary law was first en-
acted and has been with Us ever since:
that u:ring the operation of the law
their voices were not raised for poor
fallen humanity" as long as they them
selves We're snugly escounced in Office
but as soon as the realize their grip on
the votes OF the people looSening, they
wrap the robes of sanctity about them.
and make the effort to renew their grip
by seeking new allies. No patriarchal
friend Hoyt, we are not an ''astute pol
itician." as we are not fond of Boston
beans.

FINDS A WORLD OF EYES.
Plans of a Connecticut Man to Es-
tabIish Garden of Eden Attracts
Many Women.

Evans Weed, Of Newfeld, Conn,
who plans to transform his farm into
Garden of Eden. has sprung into
popularity in a day with many mem
bers of the fair sex who want to we'd.
Mr.. Weed was a little fearful that aft
er his Garden of Eden had been com
pleted there would be no Eve to grace
it. but his doubts are now at rest
upon the point. He never dreamed
that Eve was such common name
among women, but every mail brings
further evidence.
Letters addressed to Mr.. Weed in
feminine handwriting have been pour
ing into the post Office at Stanford in
every mail for the last few days. One
letter was addressed: Mr. Adam
Weed, formerly Evans Weed, Garden
of Eden, Stanford, Conn"
Another was addressed 'sTo Adam,
Garden of Eden, from Eve" This let
ter was dated Van Clure Station, Va.
Mr.. Weed is thinking seriously of
altering his original determination Of
waiting till the Garden of Eden is an
accomplished thing before contract
ing for an Eve.

OCCASIONALLY make a brilliant hit when
he gives man what is called a

ing illustrative case was told to me by
the colonel who tried the experiment.
One day, when out for walk, he met a
man of his regiment who was only too
well known to linn on account of his
frequent appearance in the orderly
room.
My friend stopped him and said:
"Youre a fine man, six feet three in
height, and yet don't you think that
you are making precious ass fyour-
self with SO drunks' in your defaulter
sheet? Suppose, now, that were to
put lance cdrporal's stripe on your
arm tomorrow; how would it be?"
The man was so surprised and de-
lighted that he took the total absti-
nence pledge and never drank any
more intoxicating liquor. Four years
afterward he married and the colonel
attended the marriage feast. The bride
groom took his commanding officer
aside and said to him, as he pointed to
the different kinds of liquor that were
on the table: you see all that, sir?
Well, 1 have not tasted drop even to-
day, and won't, for if / did / must get

A KEETOOWAH MEETING.
Held at Bug Tucker Spring
Last tuesday.

There was a meeting at the Bug
Tucker Springs last Tuesday. 1t
styled itself the council Of the east
ern or emigrant Cherokees. 1t was
principally atteded by members of
the Keetoowah society. 1t was not
a mass meeting but composed of
delegates from each district, ap-
pointed by the head captains of
the Keetoowahs Of the district.
The district representation varies
from to 5 delegates, making the
whole about 30 delegates, These
delegates on the 10th day of last
February purported to hav elected
David Muskrat, Daniel Gritts and
Frank Boudinot as the executive
committee styled the Executive
committee of the eastern Chero-
KEGS.
The committee was authorized
to contract for the collection of
81, Ill, ,2S4.74 and interest, found
due the Cherokees by the Slade-
Bender report, according to an
accounting rendered under the 49,
SO agreement, which money it is
claimed belongs to the Eastern
Cherokees.
The executive committee did on
the 24th day of February last
enter into contract with John
Vaile, Of Fort Smith, Ark, and
his associates to collect said mon
ey for a fee of fifteen per cent,
which shall cover and include all
expenses. Mr.. Vale and associates,
who are r. L Owen, it is under
stood, are given to July 1st, 1903,
and no longer, TO make the col
lection: except in case the ques-
tion shall have been referred to
the courts or other tribunal for
settlement, and then in that
event such contract or assignments
or agreements hereunder shall be
and remain in full force and ei-
feet. The meeting on the Sd inst.
ratified and confirmed the contract
with Vale and expressly stated
that they, the Eastern Cherokess,
are the owners of the money, and |
not the nation. Indian Sentinel.

t.emArkahle Loss of Momory.

A remarkable case of loss of mem. ory occurred in London. England, re- gently. It appears that an old gen tleman. we'll dressed and apparently well to do, was found by the police wandering in Moorf1elds. He was taken to the nearest police station, but, be- ing unable to give any satisfactory ac- count of himself, he was conveyed to Guys hospital There 1t was found that he was suffering from loss of memory, and despite every device adopted nothing could be gleaned az to his identity. Upon lis clothes be- ing searched an address, Spring Bank Huu," was found upon him, and as the result of a telegram dispatched by the police to that address it was ascer. tained that the old gentleman was NIT George Patchett, who lived at the ad- dress given. He had been missed from Hull for some days, hut how and when he got to London neither his friends nor Mir. Patehett could say.
