We have on our desk a chart show
ing that the American public spends
only $15,O00,O00 a year for school books
and s25S.O00,O0O a year for newspa-
pers. The same chart shows that
nearly ssOO.OOO,OOO goes for malt Ii
quors. The object of the chart is to
illustrate the comparatively small ex-
penditures Of the public for educa-
tional purposes. To US, however, 1t
seems that the school book publish
-ers are lacking in a proper apprecia-
tion of the real merits of the situation.
AS we see 1t the s253.OOO,OOO spent for
newspapers goes a long way in atoning
for the tremendous sum spent for malt
liquors. The same amount of money
spent for school books as is spent for
newspapers would not do one-hun-
dredth part Of the educational work
the newspapers are doing.

While it is a fact that the cotton
farmers over the eastern part of the
state generally make more cotton to
the acre than do the farmers of the
Piedmont, the Piedmont farmers, par
ticularly those of York county, are in a
much better condition financially than
are the farmers of the eastern part of
the state. There are several reasons.
In the first place the farmers Of Ches-
terfeld, Marlboro, Darlington and Mar
ion. for instance. do not pretend to
plant much else than cotton. They
figure that it is more profitable to plant
all their lands in cotton and depend
upon buying their corn, hay, meat and
bread. Year before last and last year,
this policy worked out nicely; but this

out the order of the commission
on March 2 reducing freight rates

The quiet. smiling heroism of
two women stand pre-eminent
among the thrilling stories told
by Titanic survivors-the love
that was greater than death as
displayed by Mrs. H. J. Allison of
Milwaukee and Mrs. Isadore
Straus of New York. Both went
down with their husbands ON the
Titanic, refusing rescue at the
cost of separation and after-life of
loneliness.
Mrs. Straus jumped from the
lifeboat into which she had
stepped and chung so desperately
to her husband that the efforts of
those about could not separate
them. They were last seen, arm
in. arm, moment before the
Titanic sank.
The story of Mrs. Allison's
heroism is. told by her sister, Miss
Sadie Daniels. With the Allisons
were their little daughter Lor-
raine and their seven-months-old
son. Wilbur. This is the sisters
story: l..
