The News and Courier says "the
revision OF the school law is one of
the most important matters to come
before the general assembly ut its
present session, and it Is one offer
Ing peculiar difficulties to legisla-
tors. The very fact that the pro-
posed law is centralizing in It's opera
tion will cause many people 10 be
afraid Of it in an unreasoning fash
ion, and already it is being stated
that It will benefit the towns at the
expense Of the rural districts No
doubt 'abouE its being centralizing In
its operations, and for that reason it
ehould be killed.

Will Be Better Paid.

The Greenville News says some
forty thousand rural letter carriers
will be prolited if the .postoffice ap-
l1opriation bill with an amendment
PROVIDING for the increase In salary
OF the employees of that branch of
The service is accepted by the Sen
ate. We, hope it will be accepted
BY the Senate, as no class OF gov
eminent employees are more deserv-
ing Of consideration than the rural
mail carriers.
Representative Bartlett Of Geor-
gia started the successful fight for
an increase of the compensation paid
the rural carriers. He offered an
.amendment providing that the SAL
aries Of these carriers should be in
creased from $500 to $1,000 a year.
After a number Of Representatives
had spoken in favor of the "oyer-
worked and underpaid" rural car
.iers, Chairman Weeks Of the Post
office Com mittee, agreed to accept
the amendment, and, the increase
was carried by a unanimous vote.
The s1O0 a year increase applies
to all standard route carriers-those
serving a route Of twenty-four miles
or more-of which there are 5000.
There are, in addition $4,000 rural
carriers receiving anywhere
rlom S36S 10 1854 per annum--
who will receive proportionate in
creases, according to the lengths Of
the routes traversed The total in
crease to the bill, it is estimated.
will be between $3,500,000 and s4,-
100000.

DUNN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK. July AR. G. Dun y
part;
Prevalence Of high temperatures
throughout the country have adverse
~ affected business, notably In retail
lines. The grain markets. after ad-
Sancjng sharply early in the week,
reacted on news of abundant rains
in many sections of the drought area.
Trustworthy advices from the expos
ed territory show that the injury has
probably been exaggerated, and that
a fairly heavy rainfall in the next four
or five weeks viii repair much of the
damage done. Further Improvement
in steel and iron has been noted in
the pittshurg district, where they are
working well up to their June capaci-
~, notable feature has been the
large demand for structural material
at the West and also in connection
terprises in the East.
Foreign trade continues highly fav-
orable, the notable feature being the
continued Increase of exports over last
year.
The dry goods trade shows a hest
tant tone, although conditions are
sound and prices firm: arrangements
are being made to attract buyers
through the organization OF special
sales next week. The. movement In
footwear Is satisfactory and the leath-
er market rules notably strong.
In response to the broader demand
for finished materials the steel mills
are rapidly resuming operations.
Only a moderate accumulation of
pig iron has been reported, and 1t In
believed that the output of merchant
furnaces is now below consumptive
