tary, Supt. L. w. Candy, who had
considerable writing to do in record
ing the proceedings and all the con-
tracts in duplicate. etc, and the
Board adjourned sine die.
The main change is biographies
and grammar, and there seemed to
be general demand among teach
ers and school men for a change of
text books in these branches. The
little language book of Hyde's for
beginners or the primary depart
ment, is generally conceded to be a
splendid book, and it was retained,
but the Hyde Grammar is con-
demned by most of our teachers,
and some of them refuse to teach il.
Mi,chelI's Geography, Primary
and Intermediate, has been in use
SO long and gotten so out of date.
that change was demanded, and
Frye's Geography. Primary and In d.
termediate, was adopted as being
right up to date in every respect,
and much larger and better arranged.
The Dictionaries were changed
from Worcester to Webster, because
1t was found that the people would
have Webster anyhow, and more of
them were in use than Worcester.
in spite of tie latter being the con
tract books by law.
AS the new contract does not 90
into effect till July I, 1901, no
new books or changes will have TO
be made till the schools open next
fall. In a short time we will pro-
cure and publish the supply and ex
change price of all the books to be
used after July Ist, as we published
a similar list once before of all the
books now in use.

STATE BOARDS OF CONTROL.

The bills for the reorganization
OF the boards of control of the var
ious State institutions were intro
duced in both houses of the Legis-
lature this week, Mr.. Scherr pre-
senting them IN the House and Sen
ator Horan in the Senate. The
University board is to consist of
nine members, not more than six Of
whom shall be of the same political
party. They are to be appointed
by March IS, or as soon thereafter
as may be convenient, and to take
their seats June /. The Normal
School board is to consist of the
State Superintendent and six others:
the Colored Institute board, of the
superintendent and six others; the
Bluefield Normal of the superintend-
ent and five others: the State Board
of Health, of two physicians from
each of the five Congressional dis
tricts; the Board of Agriculture, of
seven members; the two insane
asylum boards, of nine members
each; the reformatory board, of
seven members; the Home for In
curables, of seven members. All
these are to be reappointed, and
the terms are to begin not later in
any case than by the first of June,
and the proportion of them that
may belong to one political party
is in no case less than two thirds.
In the House the rules were sus-
pended, reference to committees
was dispensed with and the bills
read first time and ordered to a
second reading, showing the fact
that they have already been decided
upon by the caucus, and that all the
Legislature has to do is to pass
them.
This will give Governor White
control of the various state institu-
tons by being able to appoint all
the members of the boards of con
troll and is perhaps a very good ar
rangement in many respects.

When Col. Bryan's eldestdaugh-
ter was four years old she was sent
TO Sunday School. The infant
class teacher talked to the children
about the death of Stephen.
The next day Mrs. Bryan went
out calling, accompanied by her
little girl. After several calls had
been made The child asked
"Mama, where are you going next ?"
$40 see Mrs. Stephen" was the
reply.
ooh ! ! am so glad you are
going to see poor Mrs. Stephen, :"
the child said, in sympathetic
tone.
why do you say poor Mrs.
Stephen ?" the mother inquired.
''Why, mama, don't you know
they have stoned Mr.. Stephen to
death ?"

Queen Victoria was a great and
good woman and we have nothing
but good to say of her, but we rath-
er think the todies at Washington
City overdid the business of paying
respect to dead sovereign, by
lowering the flag on the White
House to half mast and Congress
passing resolutions of coincidence
on her death and adjourning "as
mark of respect to Her Majesty"
For Republican form of govern
ment, eternally opposed to all forms
of monarchy, this was entirely
without precedent. und only proves
the alliance between this country
and England, as claimed by the
Democrats in the late campaign.

Senator Ashby's bill to make the
carrying of deadly weapons felony
instead of misdemeanor, IS a good
one. If passed and enforced il

server and money saver. The
only objection to it is the difficult

yictions under its provisions. Jur-

SO far the Legislature has refused
to appropriate cent for the Pan.
American Exposition. Their refusal
to do SO will place the governor in
a curious situation. The governor

Now, if the legislature adhercs 90 its
determination TO make no appropria

1t is now admitted by Treasury
officials that the greater portion of
the taxes imposed nominally TO
meet the expenses of the war with
SPAN, but really to make up the
deficit that would have existed long
before now on account of the pro-
hibitive nature OF many sections of
the Dingley tariff act, will be per
manent, because of the increasing
public expenditures and the de-
creasing income from customs dut-
les. Some prominent Republicans
are openly advocating the lowering
of tariff duties 10 increase the rev
enue, but the rockribbed high pro-
tectionists, of whom Mr.. Mckinley
is one of the chief high priests, will
not consent to that as long as they
have the power to prevent it. So
the people can make up their minds
to. pay the war taxes not cut by the
bill now before the Senate for at
least four years more.

bill, characterized it as vicious in
its principle and absurd in its ex-

lawless, piratical raid upon the
public treasury, its principal pur-
pose being to enrich few private
individuals, by giving Sz7o, 900, 900
of public money to one favored in
dustry. Mr. Turner called partic-
ular attention to the fact that in
stead of operating for twenty years,
as generally supposed, at cost of
$3.50, 900, 900, the bill, if it became
a law, would operate for thirty
years and cost Sz7o, 900, 600.

CAMPAIGN ECHOES.

During the last campaign the
Republicans blamed the war in the
Philippines all on to the Democrats
and claimed that the FilIpinos were
just hanging on to see whether
Bryan was elected or not, and if
Mckinley was reelected the war
over there would stop at once.
They even went so far as to charge
that the blood of every soldier boy
killed over there was on the hands
of Bryan and the Democratic party
because the Filipinos would have
given up long ago if they had not
expected Bryan elected and that he
would aid them if he was. Now let
us see about this. The election
was all over and settled three
months ago, and still we read in the
daily papers of fights in the Philip
pines and the slaughter of the nat
ives and the loss of our brave bows.
even one from this county, Troy
Sliger, who was killed December
18TH and the war seems to be on
just as much as it was a year ago
and no nearer the end. The gov
eminent is preparing to send some
of the soldiers home, but others are
being sent over to take their place
and cnlistments going on all over
the country.
The necessity for securing new
recruits is the passage of the army
bill, which will be signed by the
President this week. This bill calls
for standing army OF 100, 900 men.
The time of elistment of about 49,
900 volunteers now in the Philip
pines expires by June the thirtieth
and these men are being brought
home as quickly as possible. This
makes it necessary to secure men at
once to take their places. There
are now about 5000 men under
orders to go to the Philippines, a.
900 of them being already in San
francisco. TO make up the re-
CURED number, recruiting Offices
are being established all over the
country.

mere are indications that the
Republicans are going to try to do
in the next Congress what they were
afraid to do in connection with the
disappointment bill passed by the
present Congress-poke their fingers
into the internal affairs of those
Southern States that have by Con-
stitutional provision curtailed negro
suffrage. Enough was said when
the credentials of Senator-elect
Simmons, of North Carolina, were
presented to the Senate to show
that an attempt is to be made in the
next Congress to get the matter be-
fore Congress by Directing to the
seating of Senators from the States
that have restricted suffrage-North
Carolina, South Carolina, Mississ-
ippi and Louisiana. Whether the
attempt will succeed will depend
upon the support it gets from the
more conservative Republicans,
many of whom have said in private
conversations that they were OPP
posed to any agitation of this sort
in Congress, and would have favor
ed the suffrage restrictions had they
lived in the States that have adopt
ed them. Democratic Senators
VIII to a man oppose any and every
move to question the right of Sen
ators from the four above named
States to take their seats in the
next Congress.
