scReeL BOOK DEPOSITORY
The r. Il. Bryan Company, OF Colum-
bia, Gets It.

There was a merry old battle In
Colunbia on Monday night Of last
week before the representatives Of
the publishing houses recently award
ed contracts to furnish school books
to the state over the selection OF
state depository, tat contract worth
about $50. 900 in the five years the
present contract has to run.
The only contestants were The
State and the r. L. Bryan company,
both OF this city. 1t was but natural
that Columbia should be awarded the
depository, on account Of it's location,
and these were the two leading book
store concerns Of the city, although
The State people have not attempted
| to handle shool books heretofore.
There was speechmaking, and all
that sort OF thing, Governor Hayward
backing up the claims Of The State
people and State Superintendent Mar
tin leaning to the Bryan company, it
is said.
The Bryan company won finally BY
a vote Of three to one, the vote OF the
publishers representatives being ap
portioned according to the amount OF
the contracts they had with the state.
The contracts total about half a mil
lion dollars worth Of school books to
pass through the Bryan company's
hands within the five years, the pub
fishers to pay the state depository 10
per cent for this handling, and the
sub-depositoriss, to which the Bryan
people are to ship in turn, also get 10
per cent. The prices Of the books srs
stamped on their backs and are fixed
in the contracts the publishing con.
cern allowing book to be sold above
! t ,e figure to be liable to s25 fine fol
each cffense.
State Superintendent Martin says
that although several changes have
been made the state will save on the
whole about 20 per cent. for the pat
rons Of the schools, and be Is to short
ly give out 8 statement setting forth
the comparative prices in detail and
establishing his contention that there
has been saving. The contract, he
points out, also prevents the retail!
book people putting on an arbitrary
profit and charging to suit them.
selves. BE says that In some instan.
ces the retail book Stores had added
a profit OF IS per cent. The law re-
quirin4 the county superintendents
to act as the agents OF the publishers
has proved a dead letter, and there
was no hope Of getting the books
satisfactorily handled In this way

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.

ern Oil Mills.
There was q meeting Of the cotton
seed oil mill men Of South Carolina
here Thursday that mean much not
only for the oil mills but also for the
farmers. Those who have kept ur
with such matters will recall that sew
eral weeks ago a chemist in Arkansas,
J. G. Spurin, discovered that denat
ured alcohol could be extracted in
large quantities from the potato by
the use OF the present oil mill ma.
chinery. The matter was noticed es.
pecially by the oil mill men and
Thursday at the meeting the whole
suggestion was gone over and Its
practicabillty discussed.
II the scheme is worked out sue
cessfuty it will be OF mutual advaa.
tage. The oil mills now shut down in
sun m I and just about the time the
potato crops are coming In. The
| farmers often have to throw away
hundreds Of bushels OF potatoes be
cause Of glut In the market OF the
fact that they have sprouted tee
soon. These could be sold to the oil
mills at slightly reduced prices and
used by them for making OF denstur-
ed alcohol.
The government now proposes to
remove the tax from this product and
to can then be produced very cheaply
The fact that 1t will keep labor or
ganized during the entire year Is also
if considerable advantage to the oil
mills. After much discussion it was
decided to obtain further information
about the project and then take some
definite action. The tax Is not re-
moved by the government until next
MAY.
The meeting of the oil mill meD
was primarily for the purpose OF ct,
tecting an organization to be known
as the South Carolina Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association OF the same en-
terprises. There was a very large at

How 1t Should Be.

What a holy and divine thing the
human heart Is If people would do as
God intended when be breathed HIS
image into man. Woman is infinitely
richer in God. like qualities than man.
Human nature Is q beautiful thing
as God intended it tc live, but the
trouble is that this wild, mad scran.
bic for the dirty, blood-stained dollar
doesn't leave poor humanity much OF
a chance to develop itself except on
the brutal, animal side. Our present
social system-or lack OF system is
especially designed tor crushing cut
all that is good In humanity and de-
veloping all that Is bad.

Sensational Suits Have Been Brought
Against Trusts.

Sensational Suits Have Been Brought
Against Trusts.
The prosecutions the government Is
about to begin can very properly be
classed as sensational. They are said
to be against the standard Oh Com
pany and the Pennsylvania railroad.
Il seems these corporations are not to
be indicted but their officials in 70
sponsible positions are to be.
Mr.. Cassat the president OF the
Pennsylvania is mentioned as one OF
the railroad men who will be prosecut-
ed. His trial would attract attention
in Europe as well as In this country,
since there are few better known men
in the financial world than he. The
trial would be a notable one for the
defendant would be prosecuted by the
ablest men the government could ob
usin and would be defended by law
yers whose fame Is not confined by
state lines.
1t has bean intimated that It is not
the purpose to prosecute any OF the
heads Of the Standard On Company,
but that intimation isn't aIthorita-
tive. It wouldn' It be surprising If the
heads Of that trust we're attacked.
It is difficult to see why the president
Of the Pennsylvania railroad should
be prosecuted and not the chief men
Of the Standard Oh company.
In Wall street it is said the Stan
dard Oh Company realizes it must
adopt new methods Of doing business
that it's present method cannot be pur.
sued any longer with safety. Heroe,
it is proposed to greatly increase the
trusts capital stock and to list the
shares on tbs stock exchs age. In ad.
dition it is said reports OF It's business
will be published regularly and the
policy OF secrecy will be abandoned.
It this information is correct 1t
would seem that the great trusts are
On the run and that the government
has but to pursue it's advantage to
bring them to terms. A few days
will doubtless show what the pro-
gramme Of the government is and
whether OF not the trusts are ready
to abandon the fight and agree to
obey the laws for their regulation.

COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS.
Should be Given the Same Chance
Town Children Have,

It is a remarkable fact that a large
part OF the brain and b12wn has al
ways come from the rural districts OF
all Countries. We might go down the
business streets OF any town in South
Carolina to- day and take an inventory,
so to speak, Of the men who are doing
the business, and we would find large
part OF them we're reared In the coun.
try. We do not write to make odious
comparisons between the country
children and the town children, but
we wish to call the attention Of par.
ents In the country to the new order
OF things coming to pass.
We wish to ask fathers and moth
ers if it Is reasonable to suppose that
their boys and girls in the country
who only have an opportunity to cul.
ti7ate and develop their minds from
three and one. halt to tour months in
the year will be able to stand up and
compete with and enter into life's
struggles with the boys and girls in the
towns who have months to improve
the mind and be trained for LIES
work; to say nothing of the magazines
good literature and lectures to which
they have access. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose that children who have
practically the same natural ability
and have more than twice the oppor
tunities the others do, will b. equa
when the contest comes.
! Parents OF the rural districts, your
children a1e as dear to you as any par
ents. Do you want them to be help
less O, inferior in capacity to theil
fellows in the years to Gomez I an
sure no true parent does. But marx

ZION, the time will surely come wheE

This Is not a pleasant thought: but Il
is as true as the Gospel itself. We d.
not want to see parents Of tho rura

months school; they must not be con
