Where They Were Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
eralitv distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
of the country. In his book on The
Overland Stage to California" Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overload
ed mails were sometimes relieved.
Before the daily mail went into oper-
alton and when Il stage went TO Salt
Lake City only once 4 week some OF
the boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents. but such mail mat
ter came quite handy 1T times.
Occasionally the drivers, as they
themselves said. would get stalled 20
ing through IL bad slough in rough
weather and would be unable TO move.
In that case they were obliged to take
out sack after sack Of the pub. docs
open the bags and pile the massive
books from the government printing

q solid. foundation with them were en-
abled to pull the coach out Of the mire.

Sumter county will have it's full
number of school libraries under the
Aull act, County Superintendent Cain
having received already more appli-
cations for appropriations than this
county is entitled to under the law.
Three schools have complied with the
terms Of the act. having raised ten dol
lars each and notified the county su-
perintendent of the fact. These
schools are the Argyle school. near
Stateburg, Mayesville and District
No. l. near Gaillard X Roads. AS the
An!l law provides for but twelve
school libraries in this county, nine
other schools can obtain share of the
appropriation and as there are more
than that number anxious to establish
libraries, Superintendent Cain will
enter the applications in the order in
whica they are made and the first nine
that comply with the terms of the act
will secure the appropriations this
year. Sumter county has always
taken a leading place in the front
rank of educational progress and it is
q pleasure to record that the public
school teachers and trustees have
been prompt to avail themselves of
the opportunity to secure the State
appropriation for the establishment Of
school Libraries.

A DOG OF UTILITY.
The Pointers Evolution From the
BLOODHOUND type.


The evolution Of the pointer from
what may be described as the blood
hound type 70 the modern English
foXhouru kind has taken. perhaps.

above ali others, dog of utility, and
as the pointer has always been looked
upon as one of the chief helpmates of

stands to reason that that man has
called in all his ingenuity and all his
knowledge of breeding to provide him.
self with sporting dog that is best
adapted for the sport that is provided
for him. Therefore in some places in
America, where the plains are so vast,
a very fast and wide ranging pointer
is required-one, too, with bird sense"
Where true ranging, good nose and
stanchness on game are to be found
embodied in one single dog, there, per-
haps, have we found the perfect ami
NAL, and a retrieving pointer at that.
AS in other breeds Of dogs, there are
all sizes and sorts Of pointers. The
short headed, cloddy shouldered and
often weak thighed and COW hooked
pointer has gone by the board. It
stands to reason that, although the
cart horse can gallop, he cannot gallop
with the thoroughbred, the clean neck
ed, oblique shouldered, deep hammed,
live racing machine. Half a day of
real going will knock up the heavy
headed, loose throated pointer. He has
had to give way to the more elegant
quantity; but even such as he should
not be too small.-Illustrated Sporting
