wATER.w0RKs FOR MR. PATTERSON -Bla
BOYS MARRIED AND WENT AWAY.

BOYS MARRIED AND WENT AWAY.
Nature is always stretching out her
hands to her children and Offering to
help them with their work. SO few
Of them are willing to accept her
kind offers.
There are many houses, homes aud
farms in the foot hills by which little
streams run, laughing and singing
their happy courses to the great
rivers and begging all who live by
p to accept their proffered aid.
NGeorge Patterson, who lives four
miles south of Seneca, in the Speeds
Greek section, watched the little
stream that runs BY his home for
many years and heard its repeated
calls, and he put his wits to work to
give it chance to do all it
can to help with the work about
the house. He has a four-room
cottage, almost hidden in q viii.
derness of flowers, vines, shrub
berry, fruit and shade trees on the
last convenient high place before you
reach the little stream. AS good and
clear fountain as ever broke from
the hills in any land made him a
spring between the house and the
little stream which has its source
further up the valley. The spring
was 80 clear and clean and beautiful
that the great oaks and poplars grew
p around it to shioid it from the
summer sun. This cool water was
needed at the house all the time and
sometimes in the flower yard in front
of the house. The big boys married
and went away and those left were
not large enough to carry it until
they were large enough to do other
things. So Mr.. Patterson damned
up the branch at the right place, so
that in running level it is high
enough opposite the house to pour
its strength and usefulness on the
top of fifteen "foot" overshot water
wheel arranged with buckets about
six inches wide. This wheel turns
and seems to laugh as it turns. 1t
operates a pump connected with the
spring, and the cool crystal fountain
goes jumping and joyous right up to
the kitchen door where it breaks out
in laughter at the smiling cook and
thirsty swain and whosoever will let
him drink. An ingenious system of
pulleys, deftly and simply arranged,
does the churning when the milk is
turned, and one little pulley runs the
sewing machine 80 sweetly and gently
that it put the pedal out of business
the first pass it made at it. Is this
all? No! no! There is little
dynamo close to the spring, which is
as still as mouse all day, but when
the twilight calls the nightingale,
there is a click in the machinery and
it feels the strong arm of the water
wheel, gets busy and electric lights
blaze in every room of the house.
Think of it! Would you not know
you were in Fairy Land, if angels,
with noiseless step and deft fingers,
should bring the water, churn, turn
the sewing machine, fiji and trim and
clean and light the lamps and shoe
the flies from the dining table? All
this Mr.. Patterson has requested the
little rill to do for his home, and the
lits@ rill does it faithfully. A yoke
(of oxen could almost put it out of
business in slaking thirst. What
would larger stream do?
Been There.

School Books Adopted Tor Five Years.

f-l, .-SAO osoSV DOoiNlOA IIuNOtseioh hoS
completed the adoption of text
books to be used in the public schools
Of the State for the next five years.
1t is said that the list selected will
compare quite favorably with the
book adoptions in other States, and
it is also claimed that this is the best
list which South Carolina has had.
There has always been more or
less of difference between the
books used in the public shoots in the
country and those used in the graded
schools, but many of these differ
ences have been eliminated in this
adoption and it is said that the list
selected will do for any city school
in the State.
The board adopted DIR. Henry AL.
exander Whites History of South
Carolina for the elementary grades
and Col. j. j. Dargan.'s for the
seventh and eighth grades. Waddy
Thompson's general history of the
United States was selected. Ano.
ther book by South Carolina au-
thor, which was put on the list, is
DR.. d. d. Wallace's book on oivics.
Under the new regulations made
by the State Board of Education,
there will be established in Colum-
bia a central depository for the hand
ling of these text books. This means
that probably 100000 a year in new
business will be turned loose 10 Co.
iumbia. This has been going to At
lanta and to the publishers and it
will be great accommodation to the
teachers in the State vino may order
from Columbia and get the books the
same day or the following day.

Co. keep the fourth and fifth readers.

sented by Mr.. McMichael, of Geor-
gia.
