We had hoped to learn before this
that twelve schools in Newberry
county had raised the necessary
amount by private subscription TO Sc
cure the benefits OF the act by the re-
cent legislature to encourage the es-
tablishment OF school libraries IN the
rural districts. The schools should
become more interested in this mat
ter and take the necessary steps at
as early as possible. We no.
tice that FIVE schools have already
conoiied with the provisions Of the act
and it is reported that other schools
have a portion of the necessary
amount raised or are beginning to take
up the matter. This is very lmpor-
tant matter to the schools. in many
counties OF the state twelve schools
have already complied with the pro-
visions OF the act and applied for its
benefits. Newberry should not lag be-
hind in a matter OF this kind. In the
education OF the child nothing can
take the place OF suitable course OF
reading.

1t is a very short time now until
the meeting OF the democratic clubs
and then will come the county con-
yentions and the state convention.
Most OF the state officers. it seems,
will succeed themselves and there Will
be very little interest in the state
campaign. There will be a number
of candidates for county Offices IN
this county, but the present outlook
IS for very pleasant campaign.

Identifying Marks for His Home.

When the late Amos Cummings was
doing newspaper work in New York.
said a Representative from that city, he
owned a home in a row of buildings
painted white. a typical Baltimore block
"On more than one occasion Cum
mings made a mistake and got I'm. the
wrong house, his mind being occupied
with news of the day and wondering II
any Of the opposition papers would get
I'm a scoop on him. He grew tired Of
getting I'm the wrong pew and deter
mined that he would end IL.
One morning there was an advertise
ment in his paper for twelve first-class
union painters. and the following day
an army Of painters went TO work on
Cummings house and il was painted the
most flaming red that your eyes ever
beheld Some of the neighbors and prop
erty owners protested, but there was no
law to prevent a house owner from
painting il just as his fancy dictated.
After this the WORKOUT newspaper
man never had any trouble in making a
proper landing when he left his Office in
the wee small hours.

Conklin's Tribute.

These words were spoken by Roscoe
COnkling Of New York. to Mr. Hanna
when they met in a national convention.
The explanation was very good Index
to the success that had attended the
junior Ohio Senator in all his work
business. social. and political He had
always kept his word.
Conklings remark brought 20 Mr.
Hsnna's mind their last previous mee,-

the Garfield campaign. General Gar

some thirty miles from Cleveland Mr.
Hanna. who was even then somewhat

Conkling, as they stood IN the Cleve-
land station. Il must be back here at
6 O'Clock 10 catch the New York train
IN bring YOU back here at s." said
Mr.. Hanna
Very much against Conklings better
judgment. they took the li&tle accom-
mediation train that made it's Irregular
way at irregular intervals 10 Mentor. The
matter that Mr.. Hanna was so solicitous
about was satisfactorily adjusted. and
they got back 10 the Mentor station
from the Garfield home at about 5:l5
o'clock The train was due In five min
Eses. but. as 1t was a slow one. there
seemed tho very greatest likelihood In
the world that 1t would never get back
20 Cleveland in time 10 allow the Sena-
tor TO make the New York connection.
Mr. Hanna. however, was not at all put
out and. IN spite Of the fretting OF the
New York Senator. preserved his good
nature and hOpefulness. As soon as the
train drew in-on time. for wonder
Mr. Hanna ran up TO the locomotive and
jumped into the cab. Slipping a bill Of
Roodly size into the engineers hand, he
exclaimed: Here. we've got 10 get into
Cleveland before 8 o'clock II you don't
do IL I'll throw you into the lake"
The engineer was not thrown into
Lake Erie. Senator Conkling had plenty
OF time 10 catch his train for New
York, and for ten years thereafter pre-
served warm corner in his heart for
the determined Ohioan.
