Price Of School Books.

One OF the advantages OF
State adoption OF public
school books in uniformity
of price all over the State,
and it ia but rea sonable to
suppose that the price will be
less than under the present
county adoption plan. The
Wilson Times notes that "a
set of school books in South
Carolina costs $5.17, while
in Wilson county the same
set cost $8.78. a difference OF
1891 saved to the South
Carolina child" The Times
adds: "The present system
was adopted by the tusiop-
lists. We trust tho present
Legislature will change the
81 stem SO our boys and girls
will be given every advant-
age to accelerate their educa-
tion." W. think it very like
ly there will be a changefrom
county adoption to State
adoption of public school

Boys and Their Mothers.

Some one has written beau
tifully to the boys in the fol-
lowing manner. Here is a
whole sermon in q few SEN
tencesl
"Of all the love affairs in
the world none can surpass
the true love OF the big boy
for his mother. 1t is pure
and noble, honorable to the
highest degree to both. l do
not mean merely a dutifuI
affection. I mean a love
which makes a boy gallant
and courteous to his mother,
saying to everybody plainly
that he ls fairly in love with
her. Next to the love Of a
husband, nothing 80 crowns
a woman's life with honor ae
this second love, this devo-
ton Of a son to her. And |
never yet knew a boy to turn
out badly who began by
falling in love with his moth
er. Any man may fall in love
with a fresh-faced girl, the
man who il gallant with the
girl may cruelty neglect the
worn and weary wife. But
the boy who is a lover of his
mother in her middle age, ls
a true knight who will love
his wife as much in the sere-
leaved autumn as he did in
the daisied sprngtime.-E

This il midsummer in South
Africa and grass is abundant,
which facilitates the movements
of the guerrillas. The latter 20
lightly, while the English requir-
es some transportation and are
not at liberty to loot right and
left. Heavy rains aid to the diff
ficulties. Count Sternberg, an
eminent German officer who serv
ed with the Beers, somewhat
consoles the British for their
failures. He declares that under
similar circumstances no Conti-
MENTAL army Of equal size could
have done better than did the
English army. The Boer, he de-
clared, ls a unique enemy, of q
kind never before known. and
never to be encountered again.
His wonderful eyesight, his ia
miharity with his country, his
readiness to meet any emergen.
cy, his slight wants and, above
all, his fanaticism, all form q
combination not to be found else
where and one almost invincible
when the terrane is as favorable
tor fighting as is the scene Of the
war in South Africa. Only the
inability of the Beers to take the
offensive, because of their lack Of
military cohesion and discipline,
kept them. Count Sternberg
thinks, from driving the English
out Of South Africa in the early
days of the war. The count dc
tends the English system orsecur
ity and information and the
scouting work. The character of
the country, its enormous dis
tancCs and the insufficient water
supply. he contends, make it im
possible for any other troops to
do more than the English did,
and he lay stress upon the ease
with which small patriots could
completely lose themselves in the
veldt. Only whose regiments
can scout properly in South Al
rica.

An Equitable Division Of Taxatiau On
Unsolved Problem,

Charlotte Observer.
The Raleigh Post estimat-
ed that to meet the "una-
voidai'le demands upon the
Legislature in connection
with the school fund. a re-
formatory and the hospitals
and other charitable institu-
tions. there will be required
$500, 900 in excess Of the ap.
preparations OF the last Leg
islature. Then there is t h e
present deficit of 500, 900,
making 100000 in all addi
tional, with a code commits.
sion and many other objects
for which appropriations will
be asked, left unprovided for.
Where il the moEey to come
from? TIE Post says and
truly, that property subject
to taxation Is not assessed
at it's "full value in money"
The same thing can be said
OF property returned by the
Taxpayer himself. But t h e
remedy? The assessors of 9th
er mems property have prop
erty of their own to be assess
ed and hence, naturally, are
not ambitious to see valua-
ton raised. As for the proper
ty returned by the individu-
al, there is absolutely no way
to get at it's value. He lists
it, awears to it's value, and
that is the end oft. One may
talk as one pleases a b . u t
trusts, the tariff, the curren-
cy question or what not, but
the problem of all problems
is how to yet every individu.
al and every property on the
tax books for his or it's fair
and equal share of taxation.
1t is to be apprehended that
by the time this is accomp.
lished the millennium will bs
at hand and then there will
be no taxation, otherwise it
would not be the millennium.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

| SAoM VuA rug uidT CORRESPONDENCE
The debate in the Senate
on the Army bill has brought
ontsrveral interesting points.
The Administration Senators
have been compelled to &C.
knowledge that the situation
in the Philippines is today
worse than it was when Mr..
Mckinley wrote'his message
70 Congress, and that it IL
more likely to grow worse
than better in the near fu-
ture; that in any event a
large number of troops, quite.
as many, II not more than
are there now, must be kept
on the island for an indefinite
period. Senator Hoarresu
ed his old position of antago
nism to the Mckinley Philip
pine policy, and urged that
the Filipino leaders he. gwen
a hearing at Washington,
and that the policy Of exter.
n.ination be abandoned. Sen
ator CAffery denounced the
Army bill beca use its rea
purpose--the determination
OF the Filipinos was masked,
and declared that although
this sort of thing might be
called benevolent assi,nila-
ticn' it was no less tyranny
and simply a super imposed
yoke Of imperialism. Senator
Teller began his speech by
predicting that 100000. in
stead Of the 100000 men pro
vided by the bill, would be
needed to carry out the pres
ent policy, and thatfor a cen
tury to come the islands
wouldsshaye tn be hea viIy gar
risoned. He referred to his
having, two years ago, in a
speech. laughed at the idea
of anything imperialistic be.
ing seen under the American
flag, and added impressively:
L now retracr the assertion
We characterized the actions
lot the present Philippine com
mission as gross imperialism
unequaled anywhere on the
face of the earth, and said:
"Under the law they have a
right to be there, but under
Gods law, which is higher,
they have no place there at
all. Their actions are t h e
worst form of Imperialism"
In reply to a question from
Senator Caffre,. Mr.. Teller
said: "As Mr.. Lincoln an
nounced in regard to the Mex
lean war, a war that he did
not believe in, he would vote
for such a force as the govern
ment needed, 80 l have n o
doubt that ss long as our
flag floats from the Philip.
pine Archipelago, l will IRE.
luctant as l may be) vote to-
maintain the army and the
flag there. II that is illogical,
it ia illogical,because there is
no hetter way out of It," In
closing MIR. Teller fred this
broadside at Mr.. Mckinley:
1.-THE President has assured
us that there is no danger OF
imperialism, but if imperial.
ism can be made worse than
it is now in the Philippines,
you'll have to increase t h e
ability of. the human mind
lfor absolutism'"

Ii it Is true that the man who
remains in the public service

Representative Williams Of

voicing the sentiments OF con
servative members of t h e

when he said, in a short
speech on the resolution OIL
fered by Representave Olm-
sted, of Pay providing for
an investigation of fthe South
ern sta tes, which had consti-
tutionality or otherwise re-
stricted suffrage, with a view
to cutting down their repre-
sentatiOn-a resolution which
seemed to have no other ex-
cuse than a desire for a little
notoriety for it's author, az
it wae promptly disowned by
the republican leaders-which
for a time threatened to
throw the House into a pro-
tracted and bitter political
discussion, but was after
wards quietly sent to its
death in the pideon-holes

"There is no man who loves
American civilization, who is
not glad in his heart that by
