The Enic Of the Printing Press.

R. Hoe & Co. for many years have
been making printing presses, and
their advertising is as strong and ef-
fective as the wonderful machines they
make. Under the title, 81 Am the
Printing Press" we find 4 tribute that
will interest all readers of newspa-
pers:
81 am the printing press. born Of the
mother earth. My heart is of steel,
my limbs are of iron, and my fingers
are of brass. I sing the songs of the
world, the oratories of history, the
symphonies of all time. am the voice
of today, the herald of tomorrow. 1
weave into the warp of the past the
woof of the future. I tell the stories
cf peace and war alike. l make the
human heart beat with passion or ten
derness. I stir the pulse of nations,
and make brave men do brave deeds,
and soldiers die. l inspire the mid
night toiler, weary at his loom, to lift
his head again and gaze, with fear
lessness, into the vast beyond, seeking
tha consolation of hope eternal.
When speak myriad of people listen
to my voice. The Anglo-Saxon, the
Celt, the Hun, the Slav, the Hindu, all
comprehend me. I am the tireless
clarion of the news. I cry your joys
and sorrows every hour. I fill the
dullard's mind with thoughts uplifting.
am light, knowledge and power 1
epitomize the conquests of mind over
matter.
am the record of all things man
kind has achieved. Ny offspring comes
to you in the candles glow, amid the
dim lights of poverty, the splendor of
riches; at sunrise, at high noon, and
in the waning evening. am the laugh
ter and tears of the world; and 1 shall

immutable dust. I an, tie printing

principles of local taxation and ef-
fective teaching, and offers a stimulus
to every country community desiring
a good school. It will be pleasure
to see your county utilize promptly the
advantages of this liberal and con-
structive measure.
Act No. 281, authorizing the distrl-
button of the dispensary balance must
be considered with reference to Sec
ton 25 of the general appropriation
bill, three items Of which must also
be supplied from this fund. These are
as follows: Item 1. High schools to
be paid out of the dispensary fund,
$50 900; Item 5. For extension Of pub
lie schools under acts of 1910 to be
paid out of the dispensary fund, $780,
900. Item 6. Public school buildings
under Act 43O, acts of 1910, which Is
to be paid out of the dispensary fund,
to be disbursed in order OF appllca-
tions filed, $4,000.
After deducting these items from the
amount now in the State treasury, the
balance to be apportioned will ap-
proximate $4,000 The proportion due
your county shall be forwarded with
in the next fortnight.
The library appropriation was re-
newed, and any library requlsltlons
you may forward can now be given
prompt attention. Though this appro-
nriation was not exhausted for 1909,
1910 or 1911, it's use can not be urged
too strongly upon teachers and pat
rons.
The adoption of the code for 1872
will necessitate new edition OF the
school law. AS soon as the code can
be- indexed, annotated and printed the
section dealing with public education
will be issued in pamphlet form by
this Office. I hope to have this
pamphlet ready for free distribution
early in June.
If any school, community or district
in YOUR county is interested in these
matters, I hope the trustees, teachers
and patrons will cooperate with you
in taking advantage OF these measures
and these appropriations without de-
law Your respectfully,
J. E. Swearingen,
State Superintendent of Education.

ed in Fridays issue of The Herald and

STORMY SCENES MARK
LEGISLATURES CLOSE
SENATE FOLLOWS HOUSE AND AD-
JOURNS SINE DIE.
Most Remarkable Session of General
Assembly in Many Years Finally
Ends.

Columbia, Feb. 29.-The senate at
4.32 p. m. today adjourned sine die,
thus bringing to an end the most un-
usual session the general assembly has
held in many years. The house ad-
journed sine die at 3.05 p. NJ, while the
senate was taking recess.
Adjournment of the senate followed
a stormy and bitter session. during
which for five hours the Blease and
anti-Blease forces fought, the anti
Bleaseites having the majority and
forcing through their program, not,
however, until the friends of the gov
ernor had exhausted every parliamen-
tary device. Roll calls were forced on
almost every motion.
The session was featured by strong
arraignment and denunciation of the
position Governor Blease took in ig-
noring the senate's resolution asking
for the list of appointees to various
county positions. The speeches were
warm in terms and ranked all the way
from mild objection to talk of i'm
parchment.
The senate Remembered last year"
and used all the known means In their
power to force the hands of the COVER
nor, and so tie him UP that he either
must appoint those recommended by
the various county delegations or ap-
point no one; and that is what was
done.
The senate, led by Senator Clifton,
had rescinded their agreement to the
final adjournment idea for today, and
exhausted by five hours of bitter
wrangling had agreed to truce for
dinner and were to reassemble at 4.SO
to Eight it out" but the house blocked
this by adjourning sine die. When the
senate reassambled there was nothing
else for them to do but follow suit and,
accordingly, without contest, they
adopted the sine die resolution and
dispersed.
