Zach McGhee'S Book.

Zach" McGhee, who has achieved
fame if not fortune as Washington
correspondent for a syndicate of
newspapers, has written a book, which,
although but recently published, is
attracting considerable attention as
clever bit of fiction with whole
some underlying purpose. Its title is
<sThe Dark Corner" and the see ne
is laid in this State. Zach is a South
Carolina "boy" and a graduate of
the Citadel Academy,where he was a
school-fellow of the writer. He
taught school for several years after
graduation and is thoroughly con-
gersant with the then existing edu-
cational conditions in this State.
This preliminary explanation is made
because the motif of the book is a
powerful plea for better common
schools and, withal, severe arraign.
ment of a certain type of institution
of learning, now happily decadeat,
that a few years ago hourished llAe
the green bay tree.
Zach has honored US with an au.
tograph copy of his book and We
have read it carefully and critically.
Apart from personal considerations
we may say that The DARK Corner
has much intrinsic merit. The quaint
originality that gives the author a
distinctive style as a newspaper cor
respondent is here seen at It's best
and his diction is almost faultless.
The story is clean, wholesome and
interesting, with just enough of sen,
tlment and pathos, and all through
the narrative runs thread of droll
humor and keen satire. His scathirg
arraignment of a system of pseudo
education typifed by the Hollisville
Military Collegiate Institute approx,
imates in descriptive force Squeers'
N"Dutheboys' Hail., immortalized by
Dickens in "Nicholas Niekleby."
The Dark Corner is we'll worth
reading and every school teacher and
superintendent of schools in this
State especially would be benefited
by its perusal.
We congratulate our friend on his
auspiclous entrance into the realms
of fiction and predict for him lit
erary career of whose fruition the
present achievement is only the bud
ding promise.
