A Cold New Year.

"Talkin' about New Years." said
the old hunter as he knocked the
ashes out of his corncob pipe, "re-
minds me of Janiwary 1st, 1872, when
I sot all d9y in the top of pine tree"
"Were you admiring the scenery OF
the country?" innocently asked the
city chap.
"Waal, skassly, stranger, skassly,"
he chuckled. Il wuz squintin' right
by all the scenery, hopin' to see my
son Bill come along with his gun an
knock over a big grizzly that war
sittin' below me-"
"Treed by a bear, eh?"
we've guessed it, stranger. Long
about sundown it got so cold that it
brought tears to my eyes, an as them
tears drapped they formed into an
icicle that reached from whar l sot
cl'ar down to the bar. That war all
that saved my life, reckon"
why, how did the icicle save
your life?" the city chap wanted to
know.
1T war this way" replied the old
hunter as he winked at the others
who were listening to the story. "The
b'a. thiught I was lettin' a ladder
down to him an begun to climb it,
but when he was fifteen feet from the
ground the icicle busted, an he fell
an broke his neck. You don't want
to git scairt, sonny, when yes treed
by grizzly, but jest hold on tight

dations, as follows:
Superintendent Martin discusses
the Aull library act, passed by the las:

trict in which the school is located

set apart by the state, making $50 for
each library. Only twelve schools
in each county may avail themselves
OF the privileges of the act during any
one year. The law went into opera
ton this year, and large number OF
free school libraries have been es-
tablished under its provisions.
The report recommends that the time
be extended when district may vote
a special levy.
That a school building law. based
on the principle OF seli-help, be en-
acted.
1t is earnestly recommended that
the dignity and the salary Of the office

ton be improved.
That the establishment Of county
high schools with industrial features
be begun.
That an educational commission
to rewrite the school law be appoint
ed.

Academy, at Charleston, and the

be combined, forming the South
Carolina university.
That South Carolina day be OBJ
served in the public schools.

He was associated in several experiments
