The Precious Blood That &C.
mented A Nation.
The Daily Picayune.


The 3Oth of May has been Do
coration Day, set apart for honor
ing the dead of the Northern Ar
my who fell in the sectional war
of 1861.65.
Different days had been used tor
that purpose both in tho South
and North, but on May 5. 1868,
General John A. Logan, then com
mandsr-in-chisf of the Grand Ar
my of the Republican, a Northern
veteran organization, issued an or
der appointing May 30 % the day
on which the graves of tho North
ern military dead should be crown
cd with flowers, and it has become
the regular rule. In some OF tho
Southern States the same day has
bsen adopted for decorating the
graves of Confederate dead, and
for that purpose throughout tho
South there is no uniform custom,
there being different days in diff
fersnt localities in the same state.
According to an official report
from the War Department there
were in 1880 seventy-nine national
GENE teries, in which are buried
the remains of something over
100000 Union soldiers who per-
ishsd from tho casualties OF battle
or from disease. The greatest OF
those is at Vicksburg, whore l6, 600
were inferred. Next in order is
tho cemetery as Nashville, where
there were 1926 buried. Ar
llington, Va, contained according
to that report 1924 dead, some OF
whom were Confsdsrates. Fourth
in point of numbers of its dead ia
the cemetery at Fredericksburg
Iva, with 1927. Fifth is thu
Memphis cemetery, where 1897
Northern dead lie, and sixth is al
Andersonville, Ga, with its H.,
ia. Seventh is the Chalmett'
Cemetery at New Orleans, where
under ito magnolia trees, lie H.
962 of the Northern dead.

Boars-Makes Statement AS to
Adoption of Textbooks.

colutnbia.-If the people of South
Carolina are willing to believe that
they cal, now exchange old textbooks
for new, ones at an additional cost OF
only 42-s cents per child each they
will be undeceived when the time
comes to buy new books.
This statement was made by ]. E.
swearingen, the state superintendent
of education, in reply to the defense
set up by the appointive members OF
the state board of education. Mr.,
Swearingen returned from Winthrop
college,, where he has been attending
conference of the county superin-
tendents Of education. He declared
that he had no intention or desire to
prolong the controversy regarding the
recent textbook adoption by the state
board OF education.
The state board of education has
been called to meet in Columbia when
the final details of the textbook con,
tracts will very probably be arranged,
81 hhve not counted" said Mr..
Swearingen, "the words in the primer
or in ANY other book, but the old
basal second reader contains 159
pages and sells for IS cents. The new
basal fifth reader contains 36S pages
and sells Cor 35 cents. This difference
is interesting.
