ent-somehow the very name suggest

that he had made an impression, and
he was not slow to follow it up.
If you need a horse" he said to
the general, "let your man go up that
arroyo and he will find one hobbled on
the fiat. Then give me your receipt
for two hundred dollars gold and /
will contribute a saddle"
1t was a reasonable concession, I'M
der the circumstances, and, best of all,
it. saved the generals face. The hid
eous frown with which he had regard
ed the American changed suddenly to
look of pompous pride. He Jerked
an imperious head at his ragged re-
tainer and drew forth his receipt-book
with a flourish.
While he waited for the horse to APP
pear he turned upon his shopping men
and drove them to their mounts with
curses. Evidently it was no sinecure
to command in the army of the liber-
alton, and the yelled mutterings OF
his followers showed that they were
little better than tigers in leash.
Mounted upon horses, mules, and
even burros; armed with every con-
ceiyable weapon from a musket to
standard repeating rifles, they were a
tatterdemalion army, more fit for
treason, stratagems and spoils" than
the sterner duties of war.
Bud looked them over closely, well
satisfied to have his back against
wall, and when the low-browed re-
tainer came hurrying back with the
horse he quickly took the worthless
way. Then. as the last camp-follower
disappeared, he ran for his saddle and
rifle and within a minute he was
mounted and away.

In a long, shambling trot the Yaqui
was drifting along the hillside with |
the free grace of wild creature. and
when Hooker pulled down his horse
to keep pace with him he laughed and |
motioned him on. Taking the lead, he |
loped on over hogback and barranca,
picking out the best trail by instinct
and setting such pace that Bud was
hard pressed to keep up with him.

state Aid to Public Schools.

UP until 1907 such thing as state
aid to the public schools of South
Carolina was unheard of, Each coun
ty had to support its own schools out
OF the three mill constitutional tax,
poll tax, dog tax and the district spe-
cial tax. The legislature in 1907 to
encourage the building up Of efficient
high schools made an appropriation.
In order to secure the aid from the
state the schools had to attain a GER
tain standard of efficiency. Only the
smaller towns and rural districts
were entitled to the benefits of this
act. The benefits derived from this
new provision were so keenly marked
that there has been gradual devel-
opment in the system. The general
assembly in 1909 wishing to extend
It's assistance to the weak schools OF
the state passed the term extension or
Garris act. The aid from the state
In every respect IS based on self help.
The schools which were entitled to
participate in this fund were schools
who, with the regular funds could not
run five months and who vote a spec
cial tax of two mills or more. They
would receive from the state a sum
equal to the tax raised not to exceed
500 to any district. This has helped
the schools Of I.aurens county a great
deal. 1t has stimulated tho voting of
more tax and helped to give the boys
and girls in the rural district a school
term of two months longer. This
year Laurens county received $2,55G.5l
under the term extension act. This
was distributed among thirty schools
foIlDwc.

The benefits derived from this state
aid have been greatly felt by the one
teacher schools. The purpose Of the
legislature has been to reach the
schools Of the rural districts. There
were some schools In the rural dis
tricts who had over fifty pupils and
ought to have two teachers. In or
der to encourage the employment Of
two teachers the legislature has taken
another step, and in my opinion, the
most important step Of all. viz.-thc
passage Of the Rural Graded School
Act. The two sections Of the act that
contain the requirements arc as fol-
lows:
Sec. 2. When any rural district in
South Carolina shall levy and collect
special school tax Of not less than
four (D mills, and when a school in
such district employs two certified
teachers for a school term Of not less
than six months, and when such school
has an enrolment Of not fewer than
fifty pupils and an average daily at
tendance for the session OF not fewer
than thirty pupils, and when such
school is taught in comfortable and
sanitary building provided with the
minimum equipment prescribed by the
State Board Of Education, and when
1t uses a course Of study and classifi-
cation approved by the State Board OF
Education, it shall be entitled to re-
amount of 100000 per year.
Sec. g. When any rural school dis
trict in South Carolina shall levy and
collect special school tax Of not less
than four (D mills, and when such
school employs three or more certified
teachers for school term Of not
less than seven months, and when
such school has an annual enrolment
Of not fewer than seventy-five pupils
and an average daily attendance for
the session Of not fewer shan forty
pupils, and when such school is
taught in comfortable and sanitary
building provided with the minimum
equipment prescribed by the State
Board Of Education, and when 1t US
es course OF study and classification
approved by the State Board OF Educa-
ton, 1t shall be entitled to receive
State aid under this Act to the amount
OF 100000 per year.
There are only nine schools in our
county who received the aid this year
Next year there will be more, the fact
that all the applications this year
were paid will stimulate othefs to
meet the requirements for another

THE PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM.
To Elect Men of Progressive Tendon
cies Regardless of Party Afiliation.

OYSTER BAY, May %. - The pro
gram of the Progressive party in the
campaign this fan rs outlined thus
far, is understood to be as follows:
/. No amalgamation with the Repub-
lean party, as such. Illusion tickets
in eases in which candidates who ne
cept the policies of the Progressive
party are nominated, where the naming
of two candidates of this description
would split the liberal vote 3 In
sistence on policies rather than party
names, and endeavor to consolidate
in every state the voters who approve
of the principles of the Progressive
party. /. In New York state. the prob
able approval of the Republican can
didate for governor, provided he is a
man personally acceptable to the Pro
gressiyes and is willing to approve
their plan unequivocally. While Col.
Roosevelt declined to commit himself
publicly to this program, it was
| learned from an excellent source that
the Progressive leaders had virtually
decided to adopt tentatively the fore
going plan of action.
Col Roosevelt last night met five
New York state Progressives. They
were T. Douglas Robinson, Progressive
state chairman; Francis w. Bird OF
/ New York, county chairman; Chauncey
/ lamlin of Buffalo, leader; former SeHa-
/ tor Frederick M. Davenport and Judge
/ William L. Ransom. At this meeting
which lasted for several hours, the New
York situation was gone over at length
1t was pointed out to Col Roosevelt
that in the opinion Of some of his as
sociates the party could hardly hope Il
poll as many votes as in 1912, wheI
the colonel headed the ticket. More
over it was said that if the RepnbneaF
party should nominate man of thu
type which the Progressives approve,
they would gain nothing by putting
ticket in the field. Col Roosevelt wa
asked whether he had been requisite,
by his visitors last night to censide
being a candidate for governor.
