MANGdINa of SCHOOL BooKs.-The
Superintendent of public schools who
rips the answers" from the backs OF
the algebras and arithmetics used by
the students OF whom he has been Civ
en- charge means well, doubtless, but
we think his action mistaken. The
theory that the child will thus be forced
to devote more diligent attention 20
searching out the underlying principles
involved in the solution Of the prob
lens. given in the text books, and not
merely to getting the answers" may
be correct enough. That granted. how
ever, would II not be far better to
choose text book which did not con-
tain answers? One of the most inn
portant things that child can be
taught in school Is to entertain a prop
er respect for the printed volume, and
this holds true whether special refer
ence be had to the contents or to the
book ITSELF regardless Of its subject
matter. Let the child be inspired to a
proper degree of interest In the one,
and he is more than likely to come In
time TO respect the other Of his own
volition.
There is, we fear. grave danger that
in the average public school pupil this
budding affection for books may re-
ceive a fatal shock when the child sees
them rudely mutilated by those In au-
| thority. The reason for the act will
be forgotten by the youthful observer.
but the fact that teacher" could thus
without conjunction abuse that which
| the child had been taught should be
exalted will cling to the memory

WHY THESE CHANGEs-It Is to laugh
when we read the eloquent editorials
in the Columbia Record and the South
elm Christian Advocate in favor OF pro-
hibition these days, when but q
few months ago, the Record was
the recognized organ of the state dis
pensary, and the Advocate In Its last
issue before tie primary gave the
weight of it's influence for the reten-
ton Of the state dispensary, but now,
without any expression of repentance,
both of the friends of the late but not
regretted state dispensary, are waxing
warm and piously eloquent advocating
prohibition. We should like to know
the cause of this change? Is 1t the
loosening OF the political grip that
makes local option, with its prohibition
and honestly managed county dispen-
saries more obnoxious than was the
cauldron Of corruption on the banks OF
the Congaree known as the state dis
pensary? The Advocate is expected TO
support prohibition regardless Of the
past attitude Of its editor, yet to do
so and have weight with the general
public an apology is due those it speaks
for now but the Record, the columns
of which until the state dispensary
shut up, was daily dripping with liquor,
and unblushingly defended those in
charge of the institution who were
living in a cloud of suspicion, now all
at once snatches up the white banner
of prohibition to lead its forces, only
confirms a prediction made while the
war was on, that when the hogs are
made to take their feet out Of the dis
pensary trough. they will crawl under
the fence into the pastures Of the pro-
hibitionists looking for juicy grass

$4,000 New Money.
Rock Hill Record: The U. S. treas
ury department has sent to the Ma
tional Union Bank Of this city, $4,000,
In brand new bills, 5s, los and 2Os.
The reporter walked into the bank and
took look at the new stuff and II
sure looked good" to him, being the
largest amount Of money he had ever
seen in one lot. The bank has gotten
this large supply to facilitate their
handling the cotton proposition for
their farmer customers, and to relieve
the money stringency in this section,
and it looks as though they will be
able to handle the situation without
any trouble. This Is the largest ship
ment of currency ever received in this
city, and the bank people have been
busy for the past two days signing
and cutting up the sheets getting 1t
ready for business.

died in DR.. Pryor's hospital at Ches-
ter at about o'clock Wednesday
morning From such information as
was obtainable on Tuesday, Mr.. Bur-
ris's injury was not considered as be-
ing especially serious: but 1t is to this
cause that his death is directly attri-
buted. 1t Is stated that there had been
no blood poisoning or other complica-
tions. The deceased was a son Of the
late George Ross Burris, and was
about AZ years Of age. He was we'll
known throughout York county. and
