Some senators would like to
know what is meant by the cult
known as Darwinism ?" Senator
Miller is against the teaching Of
the creed OF Darwinisnl. He is not
opposed to students knowing what
Darwinism is, and thinks that they
ought TO know about it. but he
does not want anyone in South
Carolina taught TO follow the creed
or cult.
Yesterday when the appropria-
ton bill was under consideration
Senator Miller. Of Darlington, just
out Of a clear Sky. made this pro-
vision: THAT no moneys appro-
priated for public education or for
the maintenance and support Of
state supported institutions should
be used by or paid TO any such
school or institution teaching or
permitting to be taught as a creed
to be followed the cult known as
Darwinism incidentally, it may
be said that Mr.. William Jennings
Bryan has had considerable TO say
on the subject Of this development.
The proviSo was overwhelmingly
adopted. although seven senator's
voted against its adoption.

nerS.

be increased to $500 year for Il
whole and $3.50 for half lot, out
Of which the association would pro-
vide for the care and keep OF all
lots in the cemetery.

Old world awfully troubled:
Men know not where to turn
From lack and strife and discord ::

Everybody fears;
Seems like things are tottering-

Yet. midst al the turmoil
Rains and grasses bring.
Leaves and buds are bursting,
Caretrec brides sing:
