1t Eas Been Hotter.

1t has been hot, very hot in fact,
but, says the State, Section Director
Bauer in charge OF the weather
bureau in Columbia says that the
thermometer has been higher in June
and In TACT the temperature has not
been unusual. Wnat has made the
people long for the breezs OF the fans
is the moisture in the atmosphere.
Nearly every day the htt e
shower would add to the humidity
and for this reason the heat has been
felt more. This Is the usual time
for q little hot spell, the highest
registered this year being 95 degrees
early in June and again on June

ercury shoot up to 81 and
yet the people this year will ASSERT
that 1t is the hottest ever" a
break in the wave is expected shortly,
however, if precedents are followed
and In fact the nights now are begin
ming to be a little more bearable.

SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY.
The e. l.. Bryan Company, of Colum.
bfa, Gets It.

There was merry old battle in
Columbia on Monday night OF last
week before the representatives Of
the publishing houses recently award
ed contracts to furnish school books
to tine state over the selection OF a
state depository, a fat contract worth
about $50, ,OO0 in the five years the
present contract has to run.
The only contestants were The
State and the E. L. Bryan company,
both Of this city. It 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, 1t
Is said.
The Bryan company won finally By
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 halt mil.
lion dollars worth Of school books to
pass through the Rryan eonpnny's
hands within the five years, the puO
fishers to pay the state depository 10
per cent for this handling, and the
sub-depositories, to which the Bryan
people are to ship in turn, also get 10
per cent. The prices Of the books are
stamped on their backs and arc fixed
in the contracts the publishing con-
Germ allowing a book to be sold above
t .e figure to be liable to a s25 fine for
each offense.
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 a 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-
ouirint the county superintendents
to act as the agents of the publishers
has proved dead letter, and there
was no hope Of getting the books
satisfactorily handled in this way,
MI. Martin says.
