In Memoriam.

Mrs. Minnie F. Burke, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Ulmer, was
born March 29th, 1877 and fell
asleep in Jesus March 18th, 1911.
She leaves behind husband, Mr.. c..
L. Burke and four sweet little chill
dren to revere her memory. While
quite young she Joined the Four
Holes Baptist Church and to the day
of her death she was one Of it's most
faithful members. A devoted moth
er, a loving wife, an affectionate
daughter, and "a consistent Christian.
AS a faithful Christian she let her
light shine in the home, III the COM
munity, and in the church until the
death angel came to take her to her
Fathers home on high. Mrs. Burke
suffered great deal during her last
sickness which brought to a close
her precious earthly life, but during
it all she was sustained by the daily
presence Of her Lord. The very
peace of God that passeth all under
standing was in her heart. Yea her
very soul was filled from day to day
with the light of heaven. She realiz-
ed that death was but the voice of
Jesus to call her to his arms. Before
she breathed her last she called all
the members Of her family to her
bedside and bade them all an affec-
tionate "Good-bye," and tenderly
and earnestly exhorted them all to
meet her in Heaven, and while she
thus talked. one who stood by
said her face did actually shine as
the face of an angel. To such a one
there is no such thing as death, but
simply a change Of conditions, a
change Of homes. The earthly for
the heavenly. For we know If this
earthly house Of our tabernacle were
dissolved, We have a building of God
a house not made with hands, eter-
nal in the heavens. Servant of God
we'll done rest from thy blest en-
ploy.
Minnie thou was mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air o. evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our numoer,
Thou no more our earthly songs shall
know. A friend.

As compared with the other book
contracts, we consider the one recent
ly adopted by the State Board OF Ed

people in the long run. The fact
tha. some of the books adopted cost
little more than the ones they dis
place IS no proof that the people
will loose money by the change. Some
Of the old books displaced were very
poorly bound, and should never have
been adopted. The people who had
to huy them know this, and they will
welcome better book, even If the
first cost is few cents more, as
the higher priced book will be the

State Superintendent of Education
Spearingen poses as an economist in
the adoption of school books, yet he
warmly advocates the adoption OF q
school law for South Carolina that
would entail thousands of dollars of
additional expense each year on the
people, and at the same time take
all voice in the management of the
schools out OF their hands. The pro-
posed law creates several new Off
GERS at high salaries, and raises the
salaries Of all existing officers. I'm
der it the people would have to pay
q hundred thousand dollars or more
each year in addition to what they
now pay to the supervisory schoo,
officials. Besides all this, the law vir-
trally makes the State Superinten-
dent Of Education a dictator so far
as all school matters are concerned.
All school officials, from the highest
to the lowest, are appointed by him
o. those he appoints, and are there
fore under his control.
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1911-07-11

While all this fuss is being made
over the school book adoption, we
would advise the people to keep their
eyes on a bill that was introduced in
the Legislature last winter, which
has the endorsement of State Super
intendent of Education Swearingen.
Should that bill become a law the
people would have no more to say
about their schools than the man IN
the moon. 1t lodges all authority in
the State Superintendent's hands,
who would appoint all school officials
from the highest to the lowest. This
Is one of the most centrallzlng meas
ures ever proposed in South Carolina,
and we would advise the people to
seq that it does not become law.
