Far from being settled yesterday stter'
roon as hoped, the subway situation last
night was more mixed up than ever. The

Rapid Transit Company, upon when u
was predicted the Board Of Estimate and

Controller Prendergast. who on Mon

The fact that the people of
South Carolina continue to stand
the school book imposition is evil
dence that they are willing to
stand anything. There has been
but little improvement in any of
the school books during the past
twenty or thirty years, notwith-
standing the constant change
that is going on, and there is no
good reason why parents should
be subjected to the heavy drain
that IS being made upon them.
The people need to be thoroughly
aroused on this subject for
their own protection. If they
half way understood how they
are being imposed upon in the
matter they would not stand for
it longer than the next campaign.

The people are already arous-
ed on the subject, and they will
be heard from in the next cam.

The Augusta Chronicle of
Thursday contains an interview
with Senator Tillman in which
the Senator is credited with say
ing that Judge Jones, in his race
next year for governor, if
he expects to win, "has got
to take the stump and fight-and
he's got to use Blease tactics.
If he does that, and makes his
fight on Blease's record, he will
win." That's a pretty plain ad-
mission on the part of Tillman
that he considers Blease's record
vulnerable. The Senator reiter.
ates his declaration of neutrality,
but adds: IF Tom Fielder, or any
one else, goes before the Legisla-
ture and proves actually proves
that Blease is, or has been.
crooked, I'll take sides quick and
fight him; for South Carolina is
a proud state and will not stand
for rottenness if she knows it., {"

In memory of our loving sister, Ada
Stack, who departed this life March
18th, 1911, aged l6 years and months.
Dearest Ada,you have gone and left us,
In that heavenly world so fair,
Safe in the arms of Jesus
Y, u are free from toll and care.
We saw not the white robed angel
AS it entered with folded wings
To summon home our loved one
To the arms of our Heavenly King.
Yes, Dear Ada, thou art gone
To the beautiful md of rest,
No more sickness, no more death,
Shall cross thy peaceful breast.
Dearest Ada. we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see your heavenly face.
You are gone but not forgotten
Never will thy memory fade:
Loving thoughts will ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid
precious one from us has gone
voice We loved is stilled,
A place Is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.
Loving sisters,
