On this day he went directly to the
door and spent hours examining 1t and
fussing with the hinges, the knob and
the latch. Finally he stumbled upon
the right combination. and the door
swung creakingly open before his as

For some minutes he did not dare

So intent was he upon his personal
appraisemene of his features that he
did not hear the parting of the tall
grass behind him as a great body
pushed itself stealthily through the
jungle. nor did his companion, the ape,
hear either, for he was drinking, and
the noise of his sucking lips drowned
the quiet approach Of the intruder.
Not thirty PAGES behind the two he
crouched-Sabor, the tiger-lashing his
tail. Cautiously he moved a great
padded paw forward. noiselessly plac-
ing 1t before he lifted the next. Thus
he advanced, his belly low, almost
touching the surface of the ground-a
great cat preparing to spring uIsn it's

Now he was within ten feet of the
two unsuspecting little playfellows.
Carefully he drew his hind feet well
up beneath his body. the great muscles
rolling under the beautiful skin Of
black and yellow. So low he was
crouching that he seemed illttpnrh t"

No longer the tail dashed. Quiet
straight behind him 1t lay.
An instant he paused thus as though
turned to stone, and then, with an aw-
full scream, he sprang.
SAILOR, the tiger, was a wise hunter.
To one less wise the wild alarm of his
fierce cry as he sprang would have
seemed a foolish thing, for could he
not more surely have fallen upon his
victims had he but quietly leaped with
out that loud shrek?
But SAILOR knew well the wondrous
quickness of the jungle folk and their
almost unbelievable powers of hearing.
To them the sudden scraDing Of one
blade Of grass across another was as
effectual q warning as his loudest cry,
and SAILOR knew that he could not
make that leap without a little noise.
His wild scream was not a warning,
but instead was meant to freeze his
poor victims in a paralysis of terror
for the tiny fraction of an instant,
which would suffice for his mighty
claws to sink into their soft flesh and
hold them beyond ~peradventure Of es-
cape.
In so far as the ape was concerned,

Not so, however, with Tarzan, the

certain death-a cruel death beneath
tearing claws and rending fangs.
Tarzan had always hated water, ex-
cept as a medium for quenching his
thirst. He hated 1t because he con
nected 1t with the chill and discomfort
Of the t%orrential rains. and he feared
1t for the thunder and lightning and
wind which accompanied 1t.
But Of the two evils his quick mind
chose the lesser. and before the great

State Aid to Public Schools.

Up until 1907 such a 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 tho 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 kecnly marked
that there has been a 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 school
term Of two months longer. This
y ar Laurens county received $2,55G.5l
under the term extension act. This
was distributed among thirty schools

The benefits derived from this state
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 are as fol-
lows:
Sec. 2. When any rural district in
South Carolina shall levy and collect
a special school tax Of not less than
four (D mills, and when a school in
such district employs two certified
teachers for 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 a comfortable and
sanitary building provided with the
minimum equipment prescribed by the
State Board Of Education, and when
1t uses course Of study and classifi-
cation approved by the State Board OF
Education, 1t shall be entitled to re-
ceive State aid under this Act to the
amount Of 100000 per year
Sec. 3. When any rural school dis
collect special school tax OF not less
than four (4 mills, and when such
school employs three or more certified
teachers for a school term of not
less than seven months. and when
such school has an annual enrolment
OF not fewer than seventy-fve pupils
and an average daily attendance for
the session Of not fewer than 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 it US
es a 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.

LYRIC THEATEk

The second installment of "The Trey O. Hearts" the greatest news paper picture ever made, will be shown at the Lyric theater today.
 "The Trey O Hearts" is not an overdrawn eXtravaganza-it is a story, a pure and interesting heart story with plenty of thrills and big sensations, but in the entire gamut of scenes there is not one that at some time or other has not happened to human beings. There are no impos- sible or imaginary scenes.
 For instance, in the first section, the hero's fight against and escape from the Maine forest fire has been enacted in real fife thousands of times. Those who saw that section of the story will recall that the hero was left unconscious after his fight and flight from the fire fiend. The second section brings him in com pany of both the sisters-one seeking his life, the other seeking to save him. This is one of the most inter esting sections of the story. The two sisters, so like in physical appear ance and so different in temperament. forms study in human nature that is decidedly interesting.
 And all through the story the hero is followed by the fatal Trey of Hearts" If he falls to sleep he awakens to find either the trey of hearts lying beside him. the death sign of one woman, or a rose on his breast, the love token of her sister.
 It is the grandest story you ever read or witnessed on the screen. See the second section today

LOVES OF ROYALTY
 SEEN IN NEW FILM
"UNDER ROYAL PATRONAGE HAS ALL ESSANAY STARS OF
 NOTE IN FEATURE PARTS.

Love of royalty, heart yearnings and jealousies, a great comingling of conflicting and confusing emotions. together with suggestions of the pres ent great struggle now going on abroad between the rival nations, are all portrayed in the best Essanay two-reel drama ever seen in the city, which comes to the New Central theater today, entitled Under Royal Patronaee," and of which the bright star is none other than Francis X. Bushman, supported by pretty and talented Beverly Bayne, his leading woman, and other stars of the Es- sanay Company.
 Bushman has the stellar part of aa adventurous young American who is given an important mission to per. form and ends by falling in lOve with "a princess. German diplomacy plays an important part in this picture, and it is so filled with romance, heart in- terest, love and intrigue and daring that the attention of the audience is riveted to the curtain from the first to the last. This is a picture that not alone presents all the Essanay stars but is feature film in every sense of the word.
 William W'adsworth, of the famous Wood B. Wedd" series, is back at the New Central again, having merry part in The Buxom Country Lass" and Selig, that producer of novelties, has a new one to hand out today, emitted "To Be Called For" in which there is an interesting presen- tation and introduction of cupid and cupidity. Isn't that attractive? But wait until you see Bushman and his co-stars today and you will say that the patronage of the New Central in this instance, as in the past, was well worth while. (Adyt)
