Mother Always Won.

They are not exactly badhoys, these

but they are invariably quarreling anC
fighting with one another. Probably
it was the fact of frequent parental in
tervention that causes the few

are rather famous in their neighbor-

One day not long since one of the

How to Buy Scilool Books in South Caro-.
lima.

The State Superintendent of Edu-
cation has issued the following cir
cular to County Supcrintendcnts Of
Education:
Dear Sir: 1t is now unlawful for
school to be opened with the old text
books. Attend to this matter in ad-
vance and do not wait until teach
er's certificate is presented to you for
approval. AS the schools open the
new books should be put in and the
old books taken up. It is your duty
as County Superintendent to exert
yourself to facilitate the exchange of
books and save the loss that will re-
suit from neglecting tho matter. You
are forbidden by law to allow any
teacher to be psid who uses the old
books instead Of the new.
In addition to taking up the old
books and selling the new through the
repositories, some county superin-
tendents are fastening the exchange
by securing the cooperation Of mer-
chants in different country neighbor-
hoods. They have recommended to
the publishers reputable men to ham
die the adopted books on consignment,
and the publishers have consented to
ship supplies to all such persons tho
books to bc sold at the Wholesale con-
tract price, the merchants handling
them to be allowed 5 per cent. of the
proceeds in compensation. Although
this is small compensation, it satis-
fies the country merchant who real
ICES the value of the advertisement in
handling the school books of the
neighbcrhood. Text books are thus
sold as cheaply in the country neigh
borhoods as from county repositories.
The publisher thus receives less for
mis- books in this State than anywhere
s::sc IN the wcrid, and so.col children
buy books at the price that whole
sale dealers have to pay outside Of
South Carolina.
write to ask if you are one Of the
county superintendent who have
made this arrangement in their coun-
ties. IF you have not done so, wish
to urge you to do so at once. Tho
publishers that have thus far consent
ed to this arrangement are the B. Il.
johnson Company and Ginn & Com
pany. Theirs are the books that are
mcat Eecessary-rcaacrs, arithmctics,
biographies and histories. They
started this arrangement, and I am
now trying to induce other publishers
to make it, with your assistance.
Some parents may not be fully in
formed of the fact that old school
books now in the hands of school chill
dren can be turned into money while
the new books are being purchased,
but that if they neglect this until
November 18th, 1901, it will be too
late after that. have learned that
some merchants, not wishing to be
bothered wit taking up the old books,
do not encourage them TO be brought
in, and there are people buying books
not knowing that thoy can at the same
time turn their OLD books into money.
Each county superintendent should
see to it that no such mistake occurs
in his county. Inform oil your teach
ers and trustees, and secure from all
merchants assurance or cooperation,
and have your county swept clean Of
the old books.

Pneumonia Leads.

10 the average reader the informa-
tion contained in the census statistics
In which is shown the relative fatal
ity of the more common ailments
to whose ravages the people of this
country are subject comes az some
thing Of q surprise. The di,ease
which leads the list in the number of
deaths which are chargeable 20 its at
tacks is not the one which in the gen.
eral belief has been rated the severest
scourge.
Among the Is maladies to which the
larger number of people succumb,
consumption stands second; not first.
Pneumonia outranks it in pcint Of ia
tality, although only sfgLtly. 1t, as
the governments latest figures show,
is the nicst deadly Of all American
diseases. 1t is the cause of 1911 of
every 100000 deaths Consumption
is yet but little behind it, however, as
adcsiroyer vi humanity. To tuDcrcu-
lous attacks are attributed 1908 of
the fatalities in each 100000. Heart
disease follows as the third, its aver
age number Of victims in the 10G, 900
being 1884,
Following these three most faithful
adjutants of the "grim specter Of the
glass and scythc'' comes 12 others
which, according to the census show.
ing. in the order given, may be reck-
oned the most destructive to life with
in the territorial limits to which the
statistics apply. They are: Diarr-
hocal diseases, kidney diseases, apo
plcxy, cancer, old age, bronchitis, chol-
era infantum, debility, inflammation
OF the brain and meningitis, diph-
liberia, typhoid, premature birth.
Smallpox, it will be noted, does not
appear on the list, although only
comparatively few years ago it was re-
garded by the people generally as one
OF the scourge Of which. humanity
stood most in dread. Now, aside
from the inconvenience involved in
compliance with the requirements for
prevention of its contagious effects it
IS occasion for little more concern than
the minor ailments whose fatal posi-
biiities are looked upon as so remote
as scarcely to merit consideration.
Gratifying results due-to progress in
medical science are evident, too, in the
showing as to the decreased fatality
OF consumption. Only decade ago
its victims numbered 244.9 in every
100, 1000 and the disease ranked as the
most deadly of all. In 10Y years, as
the figures indicate, its destructive
ness has been reduced more than 25
per cent. and the present outlook
gives promise of yet more rapid ad-
vancement toward immunity from It's
ravAges.-Kaasus City Jouynag.

Instructions to Macarthur Regard
ing the Commissnry Scandal

| The Secretary of War yesterday after
noon cabled General MacArthlr enquir-
| ing for detailed report in regard to
| the alleged frauds in the commissary de-

was told to report at once by cable end to

in regard to the charges.
Advices have been received at the War

against number of the commissary Off
Gals in the Philippines. The charges upon
which arrests have been made and upon
which many arrests are expected are con-

Adjutant General Corbin held a confer

| the head of the Subsistence Department.
/ Secretary Root placed the entire matter
| In the hands of the Adjutant General
several days ago and the despatch from
General Macarthur was in response to
the request of General Corbin for infor-
nation concerning the frauds.
The report of Colonel Woodruff. in

Manila is being awaited before any new
orders for arrests will be issued. 1t is

arrives the arrests will be plentiful
W.
made statement regarding the charge in
a Manila news report that the Commits
sary Department had purchased a large
quantity of champagne. General Weston
showed from the correspondence on file
in the Subsistence Department that Janu-
airy g. 1893. General Eagan had, on a rec
ommendation from Surgeon General Stern
berg. authorized the subsistence officers to
place quantities of champagne on trans
ports for the use OF the sick Early in
May, 1900. General Weston discovered that
through the carrying out of this order
quantities of champagne had accumulated
at San Francisco and Manila where the
transports discharged their cargoes He
then wrote a letter to the Secretary of
War recommending that the> Medical De-
partment supply Its own champagne and
suggesting that the purchase of cham
payne by the Subsistence Department
would probably result in criticism.
Secretary Root Immediately approved
General Vestons recommendation and
General Weston telegraphed orders that
the purchase of champaign be stopped
This order was issued May u. Two weeks
later one of the subsistence officers en-
qulred of the department whether the
order also prohibited the purchase OF
champagne by the transport stewards
General Weston replied that it did.

The Literature of the Poor.

The idea Of many well-to-do people
with regard 10 the literary taste Of the
poor is that poverty tends to develop a
love for blood and thunder mclodrama
on the one hand and the romances Of
Miss Laura Jean Libbey on the other.
| According to people who are engaged
in establishing circulating libraries on
the East Side of New York, this is not
true
The report of these workers among
the poor is that the younger children
call for such books as Andrew Lang
! fairy tales. Miss Alcott's stories. and
the works Of Jules Verne. After they
reach a more mature age they read
George Eliot, Dumas, Dickens, Thack-
cray. and Scott, the most popular novel

This does not agree very well with
the conviction of many theatrical man
ayers that Shakespeare is over the
heads of the masses. and it makes one

classic dramas as has been put into
burlesque and vaudeville, the same
amount of money would not come out

The statement of the Commissioner was
made in reply to enquiries in regard to
the truth of a rumor that has gained
considerable circulation to the effect that
Secretary Hitchcock was not satisfied
with the manner in which business is
being conducted in the Land Office and
that change was contemplated in the
commissionership. At the Interior De-
partment the same statement is made
Secretary Hitchcock has stated that
there is nothing but the most cordial
feeling between the head of the Land Of
fee and himself. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the recent trip of Chief Clerk
Dawson, of the Interior Department, dur
ing the course OF which he visited several
localities under the jurisdiction of the
Commissioner OF the Land Office, was in
the nature OF an investigation of the
manner in which affairs were being run
by the supervisors of forests in the West.
The alleged delinquencies had been
brought to the attention of the Secretary
in roundabout manner il is said
Some time ago a clerk to a supervisor
was appointed, who. after remaining In
Office about two months, returned to this
city and resigned, at the same time max
ing a report to the Secretary and the
Commissioner of the Land Office OF what
he had observed while in the employ of
the Government. This report is alleged
to have condemned the manner in which
Affairs were conducted in the Land Office,
and it is believed that Chief Clerk Daw-
son was sent to the place from which
the clerk came to Investigate the matters
that had been reported.
