,,,n.v ,,assrs wartz and Williams

county, Messrs. Wertz and Williams.
- Columbia, June %: The talk In
educational circles is the wholesale
changes in the list of public school
text books made by the state board OF
education at it's Thursday night meet
ing. Well informed educators esti-
mate that the action of the board
means an 80 per cent change in the
present list, If not a larger percen-
tage. Expressed in money terms, this
Is a tax on the people of the state OF
very nearly a half million dollars. Mr..
Swearingen, in protesting against the
action of the board, is said to have
stated to the members that should
Winthrop college be wiped out by fire
the loss would not be greater to the
people than the cost which the whole
sale change of text books involves.
Mr.. Swearingen. whose dissent from
the policy of the board, of which he
is the eX-Officio secretary. became
known Thursday night, was asked to-
day for a statement of his position In
the matter. He replied that he eX-
poets, as soon as possible, to prepare
a statement. setting forth fully his
position. but on account of the rou-
tine work devolved on his office by
the book adoption he has not yet had
time to do so. He said enough, how
ever, to indicate that while he does
not desire to appear in the role of a
kicker he realizes that the superinten-
dent of education is generally regard
ed as the responsible head Of the edu-
cational system and that he proposes
to let it be known that the sweeping
changes were not all made with his
approval. The book adoption will
continue in effect for five years and
the total value of the books sold un-
der the adoption now in force amounts
to about $500, 900. In the recent adop-
ton the American Book company Sc
cures the largest share of the ousi-
ness. The most important changes
made, as pointed elsewhere, Is in the
arithmetics and Biographies. Went
worths arithmetic was supplanted oy
Mines and Frye's geography by
Maury's. both the winners being pub
lished by the American Book COM
pany.

Strange As 1t May
Appear

Notwithstanding the fact that II has
been thoroughly demonstrated by
grueling Investigations and otherwise
during the past few years that all life
insurance companies are not about the
same" still there are individuals here
and there who still pretend to believe
that they are about the same" 1t Is
not my purpose to try to argue with
that class, for the reason that life Is
too short. have no fault to find with
the individual who for any reason, pre-
fers to carry his insurance in a COM
pany that cannot point to a clean
record from every standpoint cover
ing its entire existence for a period Of
so years or more, and does not guar
antee as much, aside from its record,
as does the Mutual Benefit, because Of
the fact that he pays the freight and
has the right to choose his route.
There is no reason to doubt the fact
that any man who will make an intel
ligent and impartial investigation of
the Mutual Benefits contracts, its
record, etc., cannot be induced to ac-
cept a policy in any other company.
There Is really big difference in COM
panies, even among the best, and as
you, of course, really want to buy the
best, you will do we'll to let me show
you what the Mutual Benefit will do
for you.

THE DEVIL

Spoke the truth once in his life
when he said: "All that a man hath
will he give for his life" But in order
to sustain life he must have bread.
Our "Old Homestead" is the best.
Wanted: Everybody who comes to
town Saturday to supply themselves
with this excellent bread. This is in
tended only for those who haven't yet
tried our bread. And when you call
for bread, call also for Picnic Hams,
and White Fish, and Keg Cucumber
Pickles, and Vienna Sausage, and Jel-
ly: in fact everything in Canned Goods.
Have you a fairly good Tomato?" in
quired a man few days ago. NO" we
replied, I'VE have only the King Car
ter'-the best Tomato grown" Unless
you're a friend of the fly call and get
a lot of Tangle-Foot, and Soap, and
Washing Powders, and brooms and
Bon-Ami, etc. Everything in best To-
baccos-chewing and smoking, and best
Cigars. And we keep nice, cheap Pipes.
We sell Bread.

In fact one can readily see from
a few minutes Inspection of this
train that the Increased capitalize
ton of the railroads is not all wa
ter by any means. Indeed 1t seems
hardly likely that there is as large
proportion of water today as there
was in the original capitalization.
The tremendous advancement of all
devices for safety both of road bed
and equipment was everywhere ev-
ident. To one who had seen the
equipment of 80 years ago. the old
rolling stock was Immediately rec

realized how great the contrast
was until they saw the two kinds
together.
Railroading has made wonderful
changes In generation and all

treatment of editors. and even
there a silver lining is making itself
evident. The train remained in La
mar about 40 minutes and WAS
crowded all the time. The work of

attention of their patrons the won
