ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Turkey have
agreed upon an armistice, according
to a special news agency dispatch. AS
the censorship permits no news to
come from the front, the situation at
the scene of the fighting in the Balk-
ans is now more perplexing than ever.
Various reports have drifted in, how
ever, among them that Adrianople has
fallen, that the Bulgarians had cap
tured Hademkeui, the headquarters
of the Turkish commandments,
that Nazim Pasha, the Turkish gener-
alissimo, had .capitulated and that the
Bulgarians had reached the vicinity
of Kilios on the Black Sea. T.

THE SCHOOLS IN ANDERSON
Have Shown Much Progress In Past
Two Years-Report BY r. "a.
Acknowledgements Funds.

Columbia.-The following interest.
ing report in part upon the progress
of the free ublic schools of Anderson
county for the last two years has
been received by the state suerinten-
dent Of education from Superinten-
dent R. A. Abrams of Anderson coun-
ty:
Complying with your request for a
supplementary report OH the progress
made among The public schools OF An
derson countv during the past, two
years, 1 beg TO submit the following:
THE past two years among the
rural schools Of Anderson county have
been notable for development along
two lines. These TWO Lines are, first,
the securing of more funds for the
schools by local taxation supplement-
ed by such aid as vas available from
he state under the term extension
ct; and, second, the erection OF a
goodly number Of adequate school
buildings properly equipped with the
best furniture. Naturally the devel-
! opment along these two lines has pro-
| ceeded I simultaneously Invariably,
where a special tax has been levied,
a new building has been erected, or
the old one remodeled and enlarged.
During the two years just past,
special taxes, varying from two to
four mills, have been levied in 16
new districts. In the same period,
eight districts. have increased their
levies from one to two mills. This
represents an increase in revenue for
the schools from this source alone CT
| $5,3OS.7 II. In addition to this, cleo
lions will be held during the month
Of November in three ether districts,
the same having already been ordered
by the county board OH the question
Of levying an additional mill, in each
instance bringing the total extra levy
up to four mills. There is nc doubt as
to the levy carrying in each Of these.
This will mean that Al special tax
elections will have carried in the
county in "a months"

New York. July 12.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Most news as regards economic mat
tiers is encouraging. Favorable crop
progress, imported sentiment as to the
future, maintained activity in finished
steel operations, some growth in buying
for fall, a concededly good half years
business In textile manufacturing, ac-
CELEBRATED building operations, and better
retail trade, due to widespread clearance
sales, comprise the leading favorable
features revealed by this weeks reports.
In the iron and steel industry activity
is the keyword to operating conditions,
while consumers are anxious to get de-
liveries. and additional price advances are
noted. Buyers of dry goods in general are
disposed to defer purchases because Of
high prices, but withal the market con-
tinues to harden, and mill agents appear
to be very firm about quotations. How
ever, some reports indicate that there has
been overproduction of ginghams.
Hardware, lumber, and 4 host of other
articles continue in good demand. while
shipments OF produce and frui: are heavy.
with quotations at lower levels.
Business failures for the week ending
July II were 252 against 170 last week
and 1876 a year ago"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
orally Are Better-Faporabie Crop Prog
Yess Bright Feature.

New York, July 12.-R. G. Dun's weekly
review OF trade tomorrow will say:
THE volume of business reaches sea-
sonable proportions. AS is usual at this
period the markets are at a transitory
stage, awaiting crop developments.
Larger grain harvests than last year are
indicated by the government report for
July. although the estimates as to wheat
did not fulfill expectations. Cotton en-
tiers the. critical stage in its growth. with
some adverse conditions, but, perhaps.
not more than the average. With abund-
ant harvests which now seem assured.
there should be an early and heavy de-
mand for merchandise. Indications of
this are seen at Western and North
western centers. The recent rains in the
Northwest have benefited wheat and
helped sentiment materially. orders in
jobbing lines running ahead Of last year.
The Steel Corporation reports 5.s07 tons
of untitled business, which insures con-
tinued activity, while new orders equal
production. New England footwear man.
ufacturers are resuming operations fol-
lowing the usual closing down at this
season. and many buyers are in the Bos-
ton market: prices asked are higher and
both leather and hides are in demand
at the advanced quotations. Lumber at
producing points is quiet as usual at this
season. All statistical records point to
improvement"
