THE THREE CENT
AND THE HALF CENT.

A law renewing the coinage Of the
three cent and half cent pieces of our
daddies is well on its way through
Congress.
1t is the theory of its promoters that
it will do little to help the cost of
living, that some things will be sold
for half cent that now go for q
cent, and three cents will become q
popular price for many articles for
which five cents is now chosen.
1t is no doubt true that a certain
plebeian discredit attaches to a cop
per coin. Its color is against it, and
is the stamp of inferiority. A great
many people have acquired in these
days sufficient fortitude to hand
Pullman car porter silver dime. VIII q
they could never hold up their heads
and hand him ten copper pennies.
1t may be the idea that the new
three cent piece, which will somewhat
resemble the ten cent coin, will be-
come kind Of a popular dime. A
measure Of respect is expected for it
that can never be associated with the
copper cent. Purveyors Of commcd ties
may feel that they can offer their
wares for this figure without necessarily
condemning them as cheap and poor.
And something might be said on be-
half Of the psychological economy Of
having money based on small unit.
The traveller in France finds that five
franc piece seems a far bigger sum
to him than dollar, although the dol
lar slightly exceeds the value Of the
other.
Many woman draws back in hcr-
ror from the idea Of buying a 100
franc hat, when she would not hesitate
to pay a slightly larger sum at home
in the form Of $4,000.
Over against such considerations,
there is the fact that the proposed new
coins would take time and create both
err II it be assumed that a man work
ing for $500 a day makes change of
coins five times a day, It would no
doubt take him from one to two min
utes each time to get the right amount
from his three cent and half cent
pieces. The extra time would thus
cost him five to ten cents a day more
it is doubtful if tie saving in money
would equal that, and in the case Of
the man whose time is more valuable,
the loss of time would be even more
costly.

ALABAMA MINSTRElS
PLAY TO CROWDED TENT

What the Press says:
The Alabama Colored Minstrels
gave an amusing production under
canvas at the corner of Third and
Jackson streets last night. The crowd
filled the tent to its capacity. The acts
most worthy of comment were those
of the Clark Brothers, who opened
the performance Edward was ex-
cellent on the slack wire and proved
himself to be an exceptionally good
dancer and comedian A very unique
cigar smoking act by Watts, the
giant and funny fellow was highly
commendable and his imitation of a
trombone was very clever. The fea-
ture of the entire performance was
fire-eating and contortion act by
High Henry Hunt. There was a good
band and orchestra which furnished
music for the songs through the en-
tire show. The Alabama Minstrels
leave this morning for Marlin in their
two private cars which are also wor-
thy of mention.-Ex.
Do you remember those good old days
when the colored people would hold
real old fashioned camp meeting in
the grove, and how the white folks
would gather around to hear the genu-
inc plantation melodies sung only as
the Darby can sing them? The Fam
GUS Alabama Minstrels win bring back
those days and take you down south.
Their fantasia dances, done as the
| negro alone can do them, their quaint
but tuneful songs, their plantation
| acts and their mimic will be done ex-
actly as the real negro does them, and
all that means two solid hours of
wholesome and invigorating fun and
amusement. This Famous Minstrel
Company this season carrys forty real
negroes travelling in their two private
cars, Mobile and Alabama, possibly the
finest two swo show cars on the road.

noon also free concert ON the most

SOCIAL CENTERS

And now comes the good news that
the city of Chicago has opened thir-
teen of her public school buildings as
neighborhood social centers.
For the first time in the history O.
Illinois a Board Of Education has laid
down the proposition that school build
ings are not for the exclusive benefit
of children.
We have always fixed limit on
school education. In most states it
is fixed by law. The child must not
be under six and not over twenty-one
And now the Chicago Board of Edu-
cation has declared that the public
school system is for grown-ups quite as
much as for children, and that anyone
| who needs, or thinks he needs the help
that the public school system can give
is entitled to it.
To this end night schools are to be
carried on, and lectures given with the
aid Of stereopticon and moving pictures
Societies are being formed to take
proper care Of each school building
and to conduct the exercises. AS
fast as a neighborhood shows its abil-
ity to properly utilize school buildings,
the entire school plant is at the dis
posal of the society.
Debating clubs, literary clubs, dra-
matte clubs-anything that tends to
amuse, instruct and benefit the neigh
borhood-is allowed.
And here is something that would
have given our grandmothers a great
shock. In various and sundry of these
school-buildings. under the new re-
gime, seats of portable kind are to be
arranged, and these seats will be re-
moved one evening in the week for
the purpose of dancing and gymnastic
exercises.
In Rochester it has been found, where
the school buildings were utilized even
ings, that parents would come in
swarms with their children and make
use of the buildings as social centers.
The Poor Mans Club
| It has always been claimed that q
saloon was the Poor Mans Club-in
fact, that he had no other place to go.
But this excuse Is to be taken away;
and the argument is made that any
place where man will go with his
wife and children is beautiful. right,
proper and altogether lovely.
And so this is the new education OF
the grown-up, in which public school
system is to cooperate. And when thu
bill of Senator Page is passed, and the
federal government co-operates with thu
public school systems of every state, i
will be one great stride toward the
Celestial City of Finite Minds
The public school system was de
vised by Thomas Jefferson, the world
first and only Democrat He argued
for it, pleaded for it, fought for it, and
brought it about; yet, so far, we have
not caught up with Jeffersons ideals a!
to what it should be- But we are
getting there.
The public school system cements
l. does not divide. It does not break
the town up into little religious cliQues

living on the rural routes out from
Sumter did not get their mail Satur-
aay as usual-or at least very few OF
them did.
Saturday morning aH of the mail
carriers set out. but only one Of them
was able to complete his trip. and
this vas done only after he had suf-
fered intensely from the cold and his
horse had almost given out on him.
The rural carrier who completed his
course Saturday was Mr.. Brogdon
Jones on route two. through the Pri-
vsteer section. All Of the other mail
carriers turned back before they had
gone far. Mr.. Jones however. with
dogsed determination pushed on and
despite the falling snow and the bitter
cold ne completed his days task ac-
eording to Uncle Sans latest rules.
Postmaster Shore stated Monday
morning In speaking OF Mr.. Jones
feat that II was a very creditabie one
and Uncle Sam should be proud to-
have men like Mr.. Jones In his ser
vice. Mr.. Jones has once previous to
this made his round when all Of the
other mail carriers turned back on
account OF the bad condition Of the
roads. only a few weeks ago he was
forced To 40 several miles out OF his
way by the breaking OF a mill dam.
but despite this hardship ne complet-
