SOME MORE TROUBLE WITH
THE MACHINE
WITH

Not exactly the machine, but the
burner which gives the fame to keep
the metal hot. And it always gives
out on the day we have to go to press
as was the case on Monday, and in
fact it has been giving trouble all the
while for the last two months, and
may be before that time, but of our
knowledge for the past two months,
and we have not been able to get up
the type we should.
We dislike to make excuses and
apologies for not getting the paper
out on time, or for failure to get the
copy that should be set up for the pa
per. But it seems that the trouble
will never end.
We have just ordered an electric
burner and they say that they do not
give trouble, and yet when the cur
rent goes off there will De no heat,
but now since they have gotten the
additional current there is not so
much danger Of the current giving US
trouble. We hope to have it on the
machine within the next two weeks,
unless the delay in transportation
should prevent.

Stump Cutter Does Work Rapidly

Tree stumps can be cut of at ground
level. or as much as 80 inches below,
very rapidly by a machine, described
and illustrated in the Popular Me-
ahanics Magazine, that does the cut
ting with sort Of combined band ana
circular saw, for though 1t is Tat, ike
q band saw, it is 5s inch thick, and
maintains it's circular shape. The saw
is rotated rapidly by a small gasoline
engine and when cutting below ground.
it is started some distance from the
stump, and is sloped and fed down
ward so that it descends into the
ground and strikes the stump at the
desired depth. After cutting through
the stump the slope OF the saw is re-
versed, and It proceeds to cut upward,
ending by having cut out saucer
shaped section of tie ground contain
ing the tree stump.

ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD
EnqIshman's Description of Life in
the Andes Mountains Makes Inter.
esting Reading.

In a recent expedition to Peru Mr..
Joseph Bancroft of the University Of
Cambridge did some exploring in the
higher Andes and made some interest
ing discoveries, which are told in the
British Medical Journal.
At $4,000 feet COWS gave milk; at
1900 feet they gave little or none. At
$1,000 feet there were no COWS. At
1000 feet fleas disappeared, though
lice remained so long as there were
human beings.
At these heights men have lived for
many generations, having become ac-
climatfzed to the rarefed air. Many
Of them lived in chimneyless and Vim
dowless houses; they had a purely
communal system Of government, and
some Of their customs would hardly
appeal to more civilized races. When
a native was very i'll, for instance, the
date Of his funeral was fixed without
reference to his convenience. and an
official saw to it that he was ready to
keep the appointment.
It was remarkable what loads the
people were able to carry at these
attitudes. A boy Of about thirteen
would carry from the interior Of a
mine a burden of forty pounds, ascend
ing a staircase with II from a point
$50 feet below, while full-grown man
would carry one hundred pounds OF
metal, yet the European was out or
breath if he carried his coat up a
slight incline.

COURSE OF STUDY FOR ELE-
MENTARY SCHOOLS

The State Board Of Educ2 ton
adopted the past summer books for
the use of the public schools but in
the adoption they left a good many
texts optional, that is they adopted
what is termed a basal book, and
then an optional book, and that
means that a teacher may use the
basal or the optional book. 1t is the
desire of the county board of educa-
ton for this county that so far as
possible or practicable there be un-
form text book in all the schools of
the county so that pupils going from
one district to another would not
have to change books. So far as we
could we followed the books to be
used in the city schools of Newber-
ry.
The State Board in It's foreword
makes the following observations:
Extensive notifications Of this
course are necessary in schools
taught by one teacher and in short
term schools. For details and sug-
gestions see Manual for Elementary
Schools, and Manual for High
Schools.
"The State Board of Education
strongly recommends that no pupils
be expected or required to prepare
and recite more than five lessons per
day.
"Note: Texts marked basal and
texts marked optional afford teach
ers freedom of choice between such
texts on the same subject"
To assist teachers in this freedom
of choice and to assist in the making
the use of books in the schools of the
county uniform the county board Of
fers the following suggestions as to
the texts to be used:
First Grade
Reading: Child's World Primer
and First Reader in one volume, first

A STATEMENT

Some weeks ago there appeared II
sAe local columns Of The Herald ana
News an item purp1rt:nE to enumer'
ate the leading merchants Of New
berry, md the NAM OF j. A. MINI
naugh d.. lot appear N t.c ::st,
Mr.. Mimnaugh, W. thirk rightly
took exception to the local as an un-
faic Gea,. We so Did :nln and sc
voluntarily stated that we would pub
lish statement to that effect. The
editor does not undertake to relieve
himself of responsibility for the ap-
pearance of the item, though along
about that time some items did get
in without the knowledge of the ed
itor.
In enumerating the leading mer-
chants of Newberry, of course the
name of J. A. Mimnaugh should ap-
pear, because he has been here long
er than any other merchant il his
line, and has done a very large bus
mess and has made a success of the
business. We make this statement in
Justice to Mr. Mimnaugh and his ous-
mess. He has been for many years
good friend of the editor of The
Herald and News and also Of the pa
per. And we esteem his friendship
and regret the incident. And besides
it has always been our purpose to be
fair to every one, friend and foe.
