TWO B%ATTLEsH1Ps
Jettisoned From the Naval Bill, and
1T Was Agreed to.

WASHINGTON. February 25.-The
House to-day jettisoned the authori-
cations for two battleships and two
cruisers which were in the naval APP
preparation bill as it passed that body.
The Senate had rejected the PROPOSE
ton, and against the appeals of the
House conferees the House to-day
voted by a big majority to agree to
the Senate amendment striking out
the authorizations.
Chairman Cannon, of the appropria-
lions committee, contributed largely
to this result by a vigorous speech in
favor of the Senate amendment. A
partial conference report on the naval
bill was agreed to, and the bill went
back to conference. The House also
agreed to the conference report on the
bill to create a commission of five to
adjudicate the claims of United States
citizens against Spain assumed by
the United States under the treaty of
Paris.
just before adjournment Mr.. Taw-
ney, chairman of the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton committee, asked unanimous con-
sent to disagree to the Senate amend
ments to the exposition bill but Mr..
Shepherd (TeXas) objected.

TO COUNTY sUPERINTENDENTs.
Agencies Throughout the Country for Selling
Books al Cost.

Dear Sir: 1t is now unlawful for a
school to be operated with the old text
books. Attend to this matter in advance,
and do not wait until teachels certifl-
cate is presented to you for approval. AS
the schools open the new books should
be put in and the old books taken up. 1t
is your duty as County Superintendent
to exert yourself to facilitate the exchago
of books, and save tho loss that will re-
suit from neglecting tho matter. You
are forbidden by law to allow any
teacher to bo paid who uses tho old
books instead of tho now.
In addition to taking up tho old books
and selling the new through tho de-
positories, County Suporintondents arc
hastening tho exchange by securing tho
CO operation of the merchants in differ-
ent country neighborhoods. Thoy have
recommended to the publishers reputable
mon to handle tho adopted books on con-
signment, and tho publishers have con-
sonted to ship supplies to all such por-
sons-tho books to DO sold at tho whole
sale contract price, tho merchants hand
ling thom to bo allowed per cent of the
proceeds In compensation. Although this
is small compensation, it satisfies tho
country merchant who realizes the value
of the advertisement in handling the
school books of the neighborhood. Toxt
books arc thus sold as chcaply in tho coun-
try noighborhoods rs from tho County Do
positories. The publisher thus receives
loss for his books in this State than any
whore else in the world, and school chill
dron buy books at the price wholesale
dealers havo to pay outside of South
| Carolina.
| l writo to ask if you arc ono Of tho
County Suporintondonts who have mado
this arrangement in their counticsP If
ESOu havo not done 80, wish to urge you
to do 80 at once. The publishers that
have so far consented to this arrangement
arc the b. f. johnson Company and CHM
and Company. Theirs arc tho books that
arc most necessary-roadors, arithmetic,
biographies and histories. They started
this arrangement, and am now trying to
induce othor publishers to mako it.
OLD hooks CLEANED UP.
Some parents may not DO fully in
formed of the fact that all old school
books now in tho hands of school chill
dron can be turned into money while tho
now books arc being purchased; but
that if thoy neglect this until November
10Th, 1901, it will bo too lato after that.
havo learned that some merchants, not
wishing to DO bothered with taking up
tho old books, do not encourage thcm to
be brought in, and there arc people who
arc buying books, not knowing that they
can turn their old books into money.
Each County Superintendent should sec
to it that no such mistake occurs in his
county. Inform all your teachers and
trustees, aud secure from all merchants
assurance of cooperation, and have your
county swept clean of the old books.
Very truly,
| John j. McMahan,
State Superintendent of Education.

The Coming Stale Fair.

Columbia, September 5.--Thc State
Fair Association has decided on some
thing new for this year. 1t has been ar
ranged that the fair will be open at night
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
This arrangement will enable many pco
pie, who have to work all day, to sec the
exhibits and shows, and will also afford
a place of amusement for the crowds who
arrive late in tho evening with no place
to visit, and on tho whole it is considered
good plan.
The grounds will be brilliantly lighted
| with many arc lights and hundreds of in
candcsccnt electric lights, thus making
illumination as bright as day and the
amuscmcnts will be seen then at night
as we'll as in the day. Novel features
| will bo provided for the Midway and many
attractions will be added, especially for
night performances. Already enough
| shows have been obtained to make "Big
| Midway" and bookings arc continuing
every day.
Among others the following attractions
will be ready for the Midway: A big
animal show, Ferris wheel, ocean wave
swing, lying woman, loop tho loop,
"Como back to me-" bowling alleys, c:c.
etc.
Some fancy driving rings will be shown
in tho arena every night. 'i'iiis viii bc
lighted by ten powerful arc lights. This
promises to be something new and inter
osting.
If the crowds warrant il the night open
ings will probably bc continued every
year.

have Just been issued by the Southeast

poses all the railroads entering this city,

1t is now generally known and under.
stood that drunkenness is disease and
not weakness. A body filed with poison
and nerves completely shattered by peri
odical or constant use Of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidotc capable of
ncntralizng and oradicating this poison
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them

of time from business by tho wonderful

fcctcd after many years Of close study
and treatment of incbriatcs. The faith
ful use, according to directions, of this
wonderful discovery is positively guar

Wives, cure your husbands! Children
cure your fathers! The remedy is i'm no

disease only, and is SO skilfully devised
and prepared that il is thoroughly solu-
bic and pleasant To tho taste, so that il
can be given in a cup of tea or coffee
without the knowledge of the person TAX

cured themselves with this priceless rem.
cdy, and rs many moro have been cured
and made temperate men by having tho
Cure administered 10y loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge i'm

discontinued drinking of their own free
will. DO not wait. DO not bo dcludcd
