= Superintedent of Education +. b.
Martin has published a list Of the
counties showing the number of rural
libraries established under the Aull
Library Act passed by the last leg
islature. The list is published in an
other column. 1t shows that in ten
counties the full number to be estab-
lished this year have already been
secured In many of the other coun-
ties very nearly the full quota have
been established. In Newberry coun-
tv there are three more to be had by
some of the schools. We should be
glad to see three enterprislng schools
in this county come and take up the
offer before the end Of the year, for
after the first OF January next the
appropriation for this year will not
be available
For the amount of money invested
there can be nothing that will help
so much and be OF more benefit to the
rural schools than good library.
The children of the country districts
do not have the advantages of good
books that is the lot of those who
live in the towns and cities and this
bill was meant to help these children
who needed these advantages. There
is no calculating the good that may
be done by the reading of one good
book. We should encourage our
children to read good boks. 1t is a
part of an education. We very much
hope to see three more schools in
Newberry county avail themselves Of
this bill before the end of this year.

to those responsible for the course
pursued, yet there are those persons
benighted enough to insist that it is
no worse to eat the devil than to
drink his broth. Be that as it may,
the action OF the volunteers of Amer
ica stands out clearly, and opens up
an interesting field for discussion, in
which there is bound to be an honest
difference OF opinion.

Origin of Convict's Stripes.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
did you ever stop to think about
the origin" of the stripes we use in
our prisons?" said a man with an eye
for the curious. ''If you have not it
will not take you long to figure the
thing out if you happen to know any
thing about the Bible. The fact is
that we get the idea from the old dis
pensation.
For instance, in the laws and ordi-
nances of Deuteronomy, we find the
following which will give us the clue
to the origin of stripes as badge
of infarny: If there be controversy
between men, and they come unto
Judgment. that the judges may Judge
them; then they shall justify the
righteous, and condemn the wicked.
And it shall be, if the wicked man be
worthy to be beaten, that the judge
shall cause him to lie down. and to be
beaten before his face. according to
his fault, by certain number. Forty
stripes he may give him, and not ex-
ceed: lest if he should exceed, and
beat him above these with many
stripes, then thy brother should seem
vile unto thee
Now instead of intlicting these
physical stripes we put striped clothes
on the men who offend the law, or
who may come unto the judgment,
that the judges may judge them, as
it is put in the text. Of course, you
could go much further back in his
tory if you cared to trace the origin
of marks of infamy, but you would
find that physical mutilation of some
sort in a majority of instances afford
ed the means"

Benedict Arnold Relic Found.

Lewistown Journal.
Those Of us interested in early
American history. whether absorbed
at school or acquired by maturer
reading. recall Benedict Arnold, his
brilliancy and treason, perhaps more
vividly than almost any prominent
figure of the revolution.
The students Of those times recall
that Washington sent him with 1,Ioo
soldiers on the i'll fated expedition to
Quebec in 1775 by the way of the
Kennebec river and through the for
.ests Of Maine. Two miles Of Garllner.
in Colburn's yard, his command halted
long enough to construct 200 bateauS
with which he proposed to transport
troops and supplies through the
northern waters.
4 week ago J. Rafter and Abbot
Lord. Gardiner business men that
fish the river for support. brought up
in their great sturgeon net. directly
opposite where the batearN were built
an anchor, or grapnel. which is un'
doubtedly genuine Arnold relic. The
stalk is some four feet long, and car
ries five curved arms welded to its
base. 1t was evidently fashioned OF
wrought iron, over an anvil.
These anchors were thrown out
ahead Of the bateauN, by which means
they were pulled through rapids and
swift water. For 12o years the an
chor remained in the waters Of the
Kennebec, to now come to light, a
mute but eloquent reminder OF the
man who betrayed his country.

The county supervisor has had the
steel bridge road worked and put in
as good condition as the funds he had
at command would permit. He de-
sires that the board of trade of the
city would take note of this.
1t would pay the city of Newberry
to go to work and build some good
roads into the city even if she could
get no help except from No. town
ship. Money spent in the perma-
nent improvement of the pubic roads
is money invested. And we may talk
about the old plan as much as we
please, if you ever expect to have
good roads in this country we have
got to pay for them, and the only just
and equitable way is by taxation.

doc" Bliss and His Money.

It is perhaps but natural that in
this DAY of endowment and benefac-
ton, when the desire to acquire II
nancial aid overshadows any consid-
Grafton of its origin, that the course
of the volunteers of America in re-
fusing to accept tainted money should
attract attention. "Doc" Bliss, as he
was known in the world in which he
moved, dying in Baltimore jail was
desirious of LEAVING all he had-a
paltry S5oo-to the volunteers, to be
used in doing good. However great
as might have been its concern in
his spiritual welfare, the organiza-
ton baked at accepting money &C
quired dishonesty, and politely but
firmly informed the old man that his
offer was declined.
That the volunteers of America,
like kindred organizations, would
have been able to utilize even so
slight bequest to advantage is GER
tain, and there will undoubtedly be
many to insist it was their duty to
overlook the means by which it had
obtained and devote it to extending
their usefulness. Possibly SO, and
yet there was that about the course
of the organization that stamped its
action as sincere, and causes to
stand out boldly in contrast to COL
leges and othr institutions which are
leges and other institutions which are
accepting millions in endowments
that the donors acquired in no more
honorable manner than did Doc
Bliss his $780, To charge that these
benehciaries are countenancing dis
honesty in accepting such aid might

DlsclpLINING THE SOUTH.

The bill introduced by Senator Platt
for reducing the South's representa-
ton in Congress has been foreshadow-
ed by various Republican threats dur
ing the past few years. While it is a
purely sectional measure it is a just
nit large part of it's adult male pop
ulation to vote it should lose the Con-
gressmen whom it gained on the basis
of that population.
Still the case of the South is very
hard indeed. Congress, in the excite
ment of the war period, enfranchised
class of the South's population which
needed centuries of civilization behind
it to fit it for the use of the ballot. The
act brought negroes into power over the
whites and they turned the South into
a hell. Finally, in shecr self-defense,
the whites came down upon the blacks
and drove them from the polls. They
would not have been fit white men had
they done anything less. AS a result
the South became peaceful and in the
main orderly and began to progress
like the rest of the country. This prog
ress, as everybody knows, would in
stantly stop if negro governments were
to be restored. So strongly does the
North realize this that it has long since
ceased to demand political equality for
the black man and it is careful itself
never to elect one to Office.
No doubt the South will feel much
bitterness over the loss of Congressman.
but there seems to be no help for it.
Under our political system any section
of the country is entitled to as many
Congressman as it has votes to sup
! port; and when votes are eliminated
! representation in Congress must be
proportionately reduced''-we quote
| from the Republican national platform:
las directed by the Constitution of
the United States
| The only way out for the South seems
TO be to fill up its vast unoccupied
| spaces as the North did, with white
| immigrants from Europe. The South
has never been favorable to this course,
but there is no other way in which
it can maintain a strong influence IN
the national councils and keep up with
the American procession.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.

The United States is becoming the
land of universities One does not need
/ to count the seminaries which adopt
the all-embracing title, nor the little
colleges which bring contempt upon
the good work they really do by try
ing to put themselves in the titular
/ class of Yale, Harvard, Johns Hopkins
and Columbia, but dealing alone with
the places of higher and varied learn
! ing in the United States the sum OF
] possession promises great things in
future.
A study of the figures of the Amer
lean Aiamnac goes to show that of real
universities enjoying incomes of $780,
600 and more, the United States now
has twelve. and that the total number,
all of them with very considerable in
comes and doing sound work, is thirty
six. The whole collegiate roster is APO,
representing in each case some grade
of advance beyond the High School
schedule of instruction.
A very hopeful sign of the times is
that SO many rich men are either en-
lowing old schools of higher learning
or founding new ones. But few in
stances appear where what the So
cialists call "plutocratic teaching is
the result of this philanthropy. The
chief object of the men of millions
seems to be to train UP more efficient
helpers for the worlds work and to
save their own names from the quick
oblivion which comes to those who
leave nothing for the public good when
they pass away. That was the motive
of Ezra Cornell, and he was one of
many. Into this class Mr.. Carnegie is
soon to come; for not satisfied with
building libraries for the people, he is
joining with other rich men to found !
the University of Pittsburg and give /
it an endowment as great as that en-
joyed by some of the Oldest and best |
of our greater schools of learning
What a democracy needs most to |
save its institutions is wide possess
sion of trained minds. This may be /
spared in an autocratic monarchy, but
t cannot be spared in a government of
md by the people; for where the rulers
ire unframed, the government be-
comes muddlc, injustice and preju-
lice reign and the Strong Man, with
sword and seepter, has 10 come to re-
store social order as Napoleon did to |
France. The license of the French
evolution was that of ignorance gone
mad with power There is ignorance
God knows, flowing into this
country from the underworld of
Europe; and more and more men must
De trained to deal with it and the
it creates. To the universe
les the nation must turn for these;
Ind in the multiplication of such great
schools, lies the hope that, however
huge the crisis, the nation will not
nave to turn in vain.

TRANSPORTATION ENOUGH.

| We hops to see thousands of Ameri-
can farmers making use of the IN
doubted riches of Hawaiian soils and
commanding the great market that I'M
doubleday exists on the mainland 1t
has been predicted in these columns
that the day when they will do so will
probably cone-but that does not
mean that the way to encourage them
is to ignore all difficulties. The main
difficulties, as pointed out over and
over again and as realized in actual
practical experience by msn who have
tried the proposition, are those of
transportation, not merely trans Pacific
but inter-island as well.-Star.
This transportation bugaboo ought to
be laid Every Island in this group
is raising an enormous tonnage of
sugar and getting all the transporta-
ton for it that is needed, and at
fair price. In fact, there is more trans
portation than sugar much of the
time and steamers have to be laid off
or sent elsewhere, and big ships like
the Erskine NJ. Phelps tied up. Moth
ing would suit the carrying lines bet
ter than to have plenty of rubber, 81
sal, cocoa, tobacco, bananas, pineap-
pies and cold storage fruits to take
away from here along with the sugar
AS such trade grew the ships would
be built or chartered to accommodate
it, just as they We're for the present
island staple and for the booming
KIondike trade.
The transportation difficulty is pure
humbug.

known to our mothers and

now revived and there is moth
ing more exclusive or up-to-

The designs are simply rich,
attractive and fascinating.
Another newly revived en-

derives its name Mountmellick
from a town in Ireland, where
the work originated in a con-
vent and has reached high per-
lection. 1t is durable, rich and
effective.
Hardanger is another effect

The chances are that the Port Arthur
fleet was so badly damaged in its fight
with Togo when it made its memorable
sortie, that it was in no condition,
when the 2oS meter hilr was captured
by the japanese, to leave the harbor.
Otherwise Admiral Wren would have
much to explain.
