HIS SECOND APPEARANCES.
First as Crocsus Carmichael, Now as
Federal Convict.

Atlanta, July 14.-By a strange
irony of fate, Edward Lee, better
known as A. w. Carmichael, who
three months ago startled Atlanta
as young Croesus. living in a pala-
tial suite at Atlanta's best hotels,
showering Jewels, dinners, theater
parties and auto rides on a pretty
manicure girl, will now return to
this city to be clothed in convict
gray and expiate in cell at the Fed
eral penitentiary the crime by which
he obtained the gold that burned his
fingers.
Foolish Atlanta youths who were
inclined to make hero of Carmi-
chael, and who, perhaps, envied him
little the notoriety and popularity
his lavish generosity won him, are
invited by local moralists, in the Ian
guage of the song, "To take look
at him now"
Carmichael, who proved to be the
Ascending paymaster of the Bat
tleship Georgia, recently pleaded
guilty at Buffalo, and was sentenced
to five years at hard labor. He
Will likely be brought to Atlanta to-
day.

desirable books, am at loss to un-
derstand why they were unwilling
to point out the poor books now in
use. 1t Is claimed that ample pre-
liminary discussion and comparison
at the board meetings led me to sup
pose and hope for this condition.
They, therefore, seem to admit the
fact that the real discussion of text
books was had in the Jerome Hotel.
] do not presume to set my opinion
against the opinion Of seven distin-
guished educators, but being the sec
retary Of the board and member
directly responsible to the people,
thought there should be frank, full
and open discussion in the meetings
OF the board itself. This admission
proves that the adoption was decided
on before the State Superintendent Of
Education was given chance to ex-
press an opinion. 1t must not be for
gotten also that my request for rec
ord Of these changes was refused.
L "oo piCpdl W several
changes and to support these recon-
mendations with argument. The
board made sweeping changes, but
declined to indicate the necessity for
these changes by pointing out the in
ferior and undesirable books now in
use. The assertion that better books
have been adopted does not suffice,
but should be supported by evidence.
Every change Of text books is unnec-
essary unless a logical reason can be
assigned therefor.
81 have not questioned the integ-
rity or impugned the motives of a
majority OF the board, because posi-
tive proof Of improper influences can
not be adduced The private charac-
ter OF every man belongs to himself
alone, but his public acts belong to
his constituents. The new policies
OF the board were expensive, unex-
planned, and without record, and
against these three characteristics
protested.
There are other points inviting
interesting comment, but leave
them to be made by others. The de-
termination Of the issue rests with
the people,"

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all It's stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is the only positive cure now
known % the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving The patient

Kicked Bomb Thinking 1t Foot Ball


New York, July 14.-As he was
leaving a Brooklyn police station
early to-day, Sergeant Michael Lane
espied an object on the sidewalk
which looked like rubber foot ball.
He stepped back few steps, got a
running start and gave the supposed
ball kick. 1t was bomb. The
sergeant fell to the street uncon-
scious and every window in the sta
tion house was shattered. The SER
geant was removed to the hospital in
an unconscious condition. Detectives
who examined the fragments of the
bomb said it contained enough pow
der to blow up city block.

Mr.. Swealingcn's Statement.

Columbia, July Estate Superin-
tendent Of Education Swearingen re-
turned to Columbia Tuesday night
from Rock Hill, where he had gone
Friday to attend the conference Of
county superintendents of education
He declared that he had no intention
or desire to prolong the controversy
regarding the recent text book adop-
tons made by the State Board of Ed
ucation. "lf the people Of South
Carolina are willing to believe" he
said, that they can now exchange
old text books for new ones at an ad-
ditional cost Of only 2-3 cetns per
child each year, they will be unde-
ceived when the times comes to buy
new books.
II have not counted the words IN
the primer or in any other book, but
the new basal Second Reader con-
tains 159 pages and sells for 35
cents. The new basal Fifth Reader
contains 1868 pages and sells for 35
cents. This difference is interesting.
"Of the old basal First Reader
131 900 copies were sold from 1906
to 1911, and this book has been dis
placed. Twelve thousand copies of
the physical geography were sold,
and this book has been retained. AS
far as the titels on the list are con-
cerned these two books are equal,
but as far as the pupils and patrons
Of the State are concerned there is a
ference of nearly II to l , or more
tnan 900 per cent. Illustrations
might be multiplied indefinitely, for
readers, arithmetics and biographies
form the most important part OF a
text book adoption, and these three
series show that rs per cent Of the
mere titles even were thrown out.

REPLY TO BOOK CRITICISM.

CeHl, VI upon @4Vu,VuO iHsteau OF
100000. 1t Is, however, generally
estimated by teachers and experience
ed book men that the average life
Of text book-especiaily in the
years. On a liberal allowance then
the books bought during the first
three years OF the last adoption pc
riod are not usable IN class, though
by the contract .hey have been
given an exchange money value.
This reduces the possible loss to the
books bought during the last two
years, or to two-fifths OF 100000,
that is, $160,000. Now not only
have these books paid their price in
actual use, but they have an actual
value Of SO per cent Of their cost
when new. This reduces the alleged
loss to $4,000. If this loss be dis
tributed over period Of five years
legitimate distribution, inasmuch
as the assumed loss covered that pc
riod--this makes so-called loss Of
$16,OOOsa year to be distributed
among the 100000 and more chill
dren in the schools, or about 2-3
cents apiece!
Thus, at this additional expense
Of 2-3 cents, each child in the
State would be supplied with new
and better books. Surely this is
gain and not loss! For it is a seri-
Gus injustice to a child-an injustice
at once physical, intellectual and
aesthetic-to put into its hands an
old, defaced and filthy book in any
study.
We have gone into these figures on
the assumption that the statement
that 80 per cent Of the books have
been changed, is correct The cor
rectness Of the statement we do not
admit. Exclusive Of copy books and
drawing books, which are destroyed
by use, supplementary English Class
les and duplicates, there were SO
books on the old list. or this num-
her 23 only were changed, whereas
20 were readopted. Ten were en-
tirely dropped from the list. Owing
to the extension of the high school
course, 1T becomes necessary to add
nine new books to the list for high
school use. Let each man calculate
the percentage OF change for himself.
The foregoing is a statement Of
the essential facts Of the adoption,
of the preliminary preparation Of the
members of the board and of the fair
and rational view to take Of the cost
involved The undersigned appoint
i've members have no apology to
make either for the results Of the
adoption or for the methods used.
They entered upon the task with only
one purpose to further the best in
terests of the schools and Of the chill
dren Of South Carolina. They brought
to bear upon this task their best eX-
perience, the unremitting toll of
months and the deepest interest and
sincerity. They believe that, with
due allowance for the fallibility Of
human judgment, they have succeed
ed. TO the test of use, to those who
know books and the needs Of our
schools, and to the sober second
thought Of the fair-minded people Of
their State, they leave the final ver-
