Books Ordered. Revised.

Columbia, Special. : Complaint
has become SO general throughout the
State that the registration books Ill
the various counties have not been
revised in many years, with the result
that there is general confusion IN Tue
matter of petitions for dispensary
elections, that Governor Ansel has
issued a circular letter to all reglstra-
ton boards calling upon them to at
once perform their duties under Sec
ton lS7 of the code which requires
them to revise the lists at least ten
davs before each election. According
to reports so far received no board
has performed this duty in the past
ten years. After quoting the law tue
Governor says in his letter: "The
salary paid being an annual salary
and the act requiring that this work
be done, it is the, duty of the different
county boards to revise the lists as:
provided in Section 1877, and the re-
vision provided for in said section is
as much their duty as any other duty
they have to perform. "When you
accepted the office it then became your
duty to carry out all the requirements
of the law. Your attention is now
especially called to this part of your
duty in order that you may perform
the same.D

Queer Positions Of Hearts.

There is one curious fact which
not everybody notices about the com.
mon finger-long green caterpillars
of our larger moths. Their hearts,
instead of being in front, are at the
back of the body and extend along
phe entire length of the animal. One
can see the heart distinctly through
The thin skin and can watch its slow
beat, which starts at the tail and
moves forward to the head.
Hearts of this sort reaching from
head to tail are not at all uncommon
in the simpler creatures. The earth
worm has one, and SO have most
worms. caterpillars, and other crawl
ing things. Hearts in the middle OF
the back also are quite as frequent
as those in what seems to us to be
the natural place. Many animals,
the lobster for example, and the
crayfsh, and the crab, which have
short hearts, like those of the beasts
and birds, nevertheless have them
placed just under the shell In what,
in ourselves, would be the small OF
the back

Murder and Suicide.

Charlotte, N. c., Special. = Mrs,
Madge Powers, wife of Harry T. Pow
ers a Morehead street grocer WAS
found dead in her bed room in the
north end of the store building SAT-
urday morning about Z o'clock. Hard
by her lay her husband, unconscious
and dying. A pistol lay within a few
inches of Powers right hand. Blood
oozed from bullet hole in the fore
head of his wife and flowed freely
from the wound back of his right ear.
Murder and suicide-every bit of evl-
dence pointed that way. 1t was plain
that Harry Powers had, for some
whim of his own, shot his wife dead
in her tracks and then turned tie
gun on himself. Dime novels, ciga-
retts, cards and whiskey were amor5
the ornaments Of the pitiful looking
rooom. Whiskey, empty bottles anil
half-flled glass sat on, the little to-
BILE by the door. The entire affair
is very tragical as well as mysteri-
Gus one, and whiskcy coupled with
domestic troubles is. doubtless the
cause.

State Superintendent of Education
Martin is sending out to all teachers
and superintendents circular letter
calling attention to the reading circle
course for this year. These reading
circles have been operated in South
Carolina for number. of years and
have proved Of great value to the
teachers who follow them. In the
Western States they are extremely
popular and in one State alone there
are over 5000 members reading The
books listed. Following is the letter
to the South Carolina teachers by Mr..
Martin:
stTo Superintendents and 9eachers
This is the third year of the teachers
reading circle. Those who began with
the first year and who finish the
work for 19O7-OS will receive ten-year
State certificates signed by the gov
ernor and State superintendent OF eG,
ucation as officers of the State board
Of education. Those who begin this
year for the first time will be entitled
to renewal of first grade certificates.
The course may be begun at any time
and completed in three years. Many
teachers. took the course of 19O6-0l.
This work will be open until Sept. L:
A simple examination is required OF
each years work. The questions are
sent direct to the members of the
reading circle and they are allowed
to write the answers at their homes.
tsAllow me to call your special at
tention to the reading circle course

these books recently and l believe

helped and improved by reading them
The books are "Thorndike's Prin-
ciples Of REACHING" "Kern's Eng

"You will notice that two of these
books are professinal and one is IL
tended for general culture. I have
found it advantageous to carry the
whole course along at once. However
you may purchase and read one book
at a time. The examination on the
course for the coming year will be
sent out earlier than usual in order
that certificates may be renewed for
those who desire it. BY adoption Of
the State board Of education and spe-
cial arrangements with the Educa-
tional Publishing Co., 12-16 Trim

may be ordered for the school libra
