County Sup't. Of Ed.
Dear Sir: I shall collect and
look after school exhibit at the
exposition at Charleston. In the
nature Of things, the best work of
the schools, (the training of mind
and charactor) cannot be exhibited,
There is not much work Of the pu-
pills that is objective and tangible,
and no school should attempt to
make an exhibit unless it has some-
thing to exhibit. Yet I hope there
may be some country schools with
something to exhibit in the way of
drawings, globes, raised maps or
some results of manual training.
Let your teachers know that their
schools are invited to send an ex-
hibit. # they will take part, they
should write me at once, SO that We
may agree Oh what is wanted, and
l may arrange Tor free transporta-
ton.
Also, please complete arrange
ments for the instruction of your
teachers on Saturday once month.
Secure good negro instructor for
your negro teachers to insure more
accurate records and better reports
as we'll as better teaching.
Very truly yours,
John j. McMahan.

The Largest Flower In the World.


Can you imagine a blossom as
large as carriage wheel?
On the island Of Mindanao, one
of the Philippine group, was found
by some explorers such a flower.
Far up on the mountain Of Parag,
$500 feet above the sea level, some
explorers were wandering when they
came across some buds larger than
gigantic cabbage heads. Greatly
astonished, they searched further
and presently discovered a full
blown blossom, five pctalcd and
three feet in diameter. 1t was car
ried on low lying, luxuriant vines.
The natives call it bolo.
It was found impossible to pre-
serve it fresh, SO they photographed
it and kept some dried petals to
press, and by improyiscd scales
found that single flower weighed
twenty-five pounds.
1t was afterward found to be a
species of rafflcsia, first found in
Sumatra and named after Sir Stam-
ford Rallies. The new flower was
called Rafflesia schadcngcrgia, in
Ronor of its discovercr, DR.. Schad-
enburg.

HAGOOD-SHANKLIN


At Easley last Thursday evening, 14th
inst, Miss Lide Miles Hagood was mar
ried to Mr.. Edward Henry Shanklin, in
tho Presbyterian church, 8 O'Clock. The
church was beautifully decorated, the
night was perfect, the ceremony was sim
plo but appropriately solemn and the at.
tondants-young men aud women,
friends of tho contracting parties-con-
tributed by their studied interest and
prompt and courteous assistance in MAX
ing the services most beautiful and i'm
prcssivc.
Tho music was under the direction of
Mrs. Richard S. Ligon, of Anderson,
and all moved responsive to its inspiring
strains.
No delay marred the evenness of tho
ceremony, but, at the appointed hour,
tho attendants appeared at the main en-
trauce to tho building and, preceded by
tho ushers, took positions in alternating
order, followed by the bride and groom,
accompanied by the maid OF honor, and
best man, Miss Gertrude H"good aud
Mr.. j. S. Cothran, respectively.
Rev. Thomas II. Mcdd, the brides
pastor, olliciatcd, and in short, we'll cho
sen sentences, giving expression to the
responsibilities and high privileges Of
the state about to be assumed through
this ordinance, instituted and sanctioned
by Christ, pronounced them husband
and wife.
After the ceremony, tho bridal party
nud invited guests repaired to the brides
homo where a reception was tendered by
her parents, and the couple received the
congratulations Of friends and all enjoy
cd tho charming hospitalities.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shanklin left noxt morning
for the north where they will soiourn a
few weeks, after which they will be at
homo to their friends, Easley, S. G.
The display of beautiful and useful
presents, but most of all the expressions
Of love and sincere wishes for their vel
fare and happiness attested the esteem in
which these young people are held.
Mrs. Shanklin is tho eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. NJ. Hugood. Her
friends arc measured by her acquain-
tanccs-those who know her for her
worth. by her ready and willing ser
vices socially and in church and charita-
bic labors she nus demonstrated her
character and everybody loves her She
is bright md accomplished and these at
fractions coupled with her sincerity and
christian attainments make her a most
worthy prize.
Mr.. Shanklin is a young man of ener-
gy and the other necessary qualities for
success and achievements of high order.
At present, he holds the responsible po-
sitien of Superintendent of the Easey
Cotton Mills to which place by work
and exempllicItion of ability he has
raised himself.
The couple have the hearty congratu-
ations Of host of friends.

KEEPING IT UP.

No matter how the other side may
feel at this time or how willing they
may be to allow the matter to drop,
the Helena Independent still continues
to applaud and uphold the governor
for his refusal to become a party to
the action of the state furnishing
board in annulling the award made to
the Mitchell company to furnish the
new capital. In order to strengthen
it's own position and that of the exc
cutive, the Independent has begun pub

code of the state in regard to letting

While it admits that it is the declared
policy Of the state to give union labor
ers their due, it denies that the declar-
ed policy of the state repeats the state
law in relation to contracts. A pecu-
liar feature in connection with the
squabble in which the democrats find
themselves in regard to the contract
is that the Independent is the only
newspaper Of that party which has

WHEN Y N is SILENT.

Chicago Inter Ocean: 81 would
rather let the grass grow in the
streets of Jerome" says William A.
Clark, than grant my men an eight
hour day." Accordingly, he has clos
ed the United Verde copper mines.
"Those who know Clark" says the
dispatch announcing the shutdown,
know he will keep the mines closed
a year rather than surrender"
The United Verde mines, according
to the latest statistics, produced 22,-
600 tons of copper annually. They
produce more now, for when these
figures were given out new smelters
We're building. They have paid divi-
dends as high as 43.5 per cent. They
are estimated to add $4,000, 900 a
year to Clark's private fortune. The
number of men employed is not stat
ed, but comparison of their product
with that of similar mines shows that
tits from 1900 to 1000.
Yet rather than diminish in the
least his enormous gains by granting
an eight-hour day their owner shuts
them down, and cody his
intention of making a desert of the
town where they are situated.
Here is certainly an excellent OPP
p%ortunity for Mr.. Bryan to stand
forth as 'the champion of labor"
That Mr.. Bryan. should fill at least a
page of his next Commoner with
eloquent denunciations Of Clark as a
'despot," a dictator" an "oppressor,"
would seem absolutely certain. But
there are times, contrary to the gem
eral belief, when even Mr.. Bryan can
be silent. This is one of the times.
William Andrews Clark is not only
the owner of the United Verde mines,
whose peculiar methods of obtaining
a Montana seat in the United States
senate attracted worldwide atten-
ton. He is also the person who foot
ed the bills of that famous "cham-
payne night" at the last democratic
national convention and contributed
$25O,O0O toward the expenses Of Mr..
Bryan's second attempt to gain the
presidency.
When a republican employer de-
clines to yield to his employees de-
mands Mr.. Bryan is always indignant
ly vociferous. But when a democrat
ic ice trust Expresses the poor of
New York-when a democratic mine
owner desolates a town-then Mr..
Bryan initiates the discretion Of the
clam.

PARDON MILL CLOSED.

While The Gazette in the past has
seen fit to criticize some Of the of1c-
ial acts of Governor Toole and re-
serves the right to do the same in
the future if it thinks the interests
of the state and people demand such
a course, it most heartily endorses
the firm stana he has taken against
the indiscriminate pardoning of Grim
inals confined in the p%enitentiary.
Heretofore it has been altogether too
easy for men lodged in that institu-
ton to regain their liberty. All that
seemingly was necessary was to Sc
cure the assistance of some one cap
able of creating a little maudlin senti-
ment in behalf of some lawbreaker
who was beginning to find his con
finement irksome, and the thing was
done. A petition containing a list of
names, a plea by some one more or
less prominent at home or abroad and
the hearts of the governor and par
don board softened; the doors were
opened and the murderer, thief, or
forger was restored to freedom. Men
who if they had received their just
deserts in the first place would have
felt the floor of a scaffold give way
under their feet, were pardoned after
a brief Incarceration for cold blooded
murders and turned loose to kill and
STAY as soon as their murderous in
stincts prompted them to again take
human life. Thieves were given their
freedom only to steal again and Grim
inals of all sorts were liberated be-
cause of a little influence they could
bring to bear in their behalf. But
Governor Toole is evidently deter
mined that precedent shall find no
following during his term of office and
that those justly undergoing punish
ment shall not be the beneficiaries of
mistaken executive elemency. If he
will but adhere to the rule he seem
ingly has established he will receive
the approval of all good citizens and
the criminal1y inclined will hesitate
long before the commission of acts
calling for severe punishment, for the
knowledge will be ever present that
no hope of leniency and speedy par
don need be entertained so long as
the man now occupying the governors
chair shall continue to fill it.

port of the governor, who in view of
his exalted position must pe accepted
as the leader of the party in the
state. Not ever the Butte Miner,
which SO ardently and enthusiastical-
ly supported him last fall and which
on every occasion since then has been
one of the most earnest champions in
all matters relating to his official
and private actions, has seen fit to
say a single word in his defense.
Such silence must strike the govern
or as peculiar. To be suddenly de
serted in time of need by those count
ed upon as friends is painful and his
excellency must be doing a whole lot
of thinking these days.

may be said to have alienated those
for the Cancellation of whom it was
made a part of the structure.
Although the delegates do not seem
to have understood the situation and
consequently did not express the SEN
timents of a very great majority Of
those whose behests they were there
to carry out, it is very apparent that
the rank and file of the party do not
propose to be bound by the acts of
their agents and have bolted as the
only effective way of showing their
displeasure and disapproval. Were
Iowa one of the close states, the re-
publicans could not have asked a
greater or more helpful service from
their political enemies than that
which was rendered them by the. dem
ocratic state convention.
In the opinion of the gentlemen
who composed the convention Iowa
democracy is not yet prepared to line
up with the progressive element of
the party as it found representation
in the conventions of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Maryland and the other states
that have repudiated 16 to 1 and it's
high priest. For once it would seem
that the usual concession to the
river counties" was not prompted by
good Judgment or political wisdom.

DIVA DEMOCRATS SPLIT.

By it's reaffirmation of the Kansas
City platform the Iowa democratic
state convention absolutely destroyed
what little hope the party may have
had Of carrying the state, if it is pos
sible to conceive of anything so re
mote and utterly impossible as a
democratic state victory in Iowa.
Made as a concession to the small
element in the party which still adj
heres to the issue on which Bryan
was squarely defeated in 1896 and
which entered as n of the issues
in the campaign of last fall, the con-
vention by adopting the platform up
on which its nominees stand was
guilty of. deliberate political suicide.
While 1t retained the support of the
minority 1t lost that of the majority,
as the very vigorous bolt already be
gua4 shows. The head of the ticket
has repudiated the silver por-
ton Of the platform and by so doing
