PUBLISHED WEEKLY WINNSBORO. S. C. WEDNESDAY, JU , 1906.ESALHD184 School Books Adopted by the State Board of Education * The state board of education on June 23 completed the adop tion of text books to be used in the public schools of the state for the next five years. It is said that the list selected will compare quite favorably with the book adoptions in other states. and it is also claimed that this is the best list which South Carolina has had. The board adopted Dr. Henry Alexander White's history of South Carolina for the elementary grades and Col. J. J. Dargan's for the seventh and eighth grades. Waddy Thompson's general his tory of the United States was selected. Another book by a South Carolina author which was put on the list is Dr. D. D. Wal lace's book on civics. In the common school course, best lot of readers was given to Maynard, Merrill & Co, whose "Graded Literature -Series," 1, 21 and 3, were adopted. B. F. John son & Co. keep the fourth and fifth readers. Silver, Burdett & Co. were awarded second place, their "Stepping Stones to Litera ture" being used as supplemen tary to Maynard, Merrill & Co.'s books. The spelling books adopted were two: Hunt's "Progressive Course in Spelling," published by the American Book Company, and the "Benson and Glen Speller and Definer," by D. C. Heath & Co. The selection of arithinetics was as follows: "Brooks' Mental Arithmetic," by Christopher Sow er & Co.; Wentworth's elementaryI and Wenthworth's practical, by Ginn & Co. Messrs Newson & Co., through their representative, Mr. Scherer, succeeded in placing both gram mars for the common school course, "Buehler's Modern Eng lish Grammar" (with composition) and Hotchkiss and Buehler's "Modern English Lessons." F-ye's higher geography, by Ginn & Co., was retained, but the American Book Company placed Redway and Hinman's "Natural Primary Geography." Mr. Craw, of fD. Appleton & Co., landed the order far physi oogies j- being two books of vj . klaronssedvanced apd interme Lee's primary history, by the B. F. Johnson Company, was re tained, but Waddy Thompson's ]history of the United States, by ID. C. Heath & Co., was put on 4he list and Chapman's South Carolina history was supplanted by the history of Dr. AMexander White, published by Silver, Bur dett & Co., and Dargan 's history of South Carolina, published by The State Company, will be used for the higher classes. 0. P. Barnes, publisher, secured the order for Barnes' "Outlook Writing System," and D. C. Heath: & Co. received award for their natural system of writing. These embrace two different styles of writing. The Augsburg System of Drawing was adopted and the "R1iverside Series of Song Books," by Hoiughton, Miflin & Co., was vamt on the list. The following books w e r e adopted for use in the high school . curse: English - Sykes' Elementary English composition; Happan's England's and America's Litera ture; Literary Masterpieces. Latin-Bain's First Book in Latin; Gildersleeve-Lodge Latin Grammar; Harper & Tolman's Caesar. Business Course-The First Book in Business Me th o ds; 'O'Neill's3 Punctuation. Natural Science-Hunnicutt's Agriealtural for the Common Schools; Bailey's Botany. Civics-Wallace's Civics. Geography - Tarr's Physical Geography t(new). Algebra-Lippincott's Elemen tary Algebra:; Wentworth's New School Algebra. History-Dargan's history of South Carolina; Myers' general history (R1ev. Ed.); American His tory Leaflets, Hart. Geometry-Wells' Essentials of Geometry. Modest Claims Often Carry the Most Conviction. When Maxim, the famous gunl in venitor, plaeed his gun before a comn mnittee of judges, he stated its carrying olower to be much belowv what he felt the gun would accomplih. The result tof the trial was therefore a great sur - rise, instead of disappointment. Rx is the same with the manufacturers of C2hamnberlain's Colic, Cholera and D)iarrhoea Remedy. They do not pub Hely boast of all this remedy will ac compj~ish, but prefer to let the users make the statements. What they do claim., is that it will positively cure' diarrhoea, dysentery, poains in the stomach and bowels and has never been known to fail. For sale by ObeaE PLAIN "MISTER." A Title of Particular Distinction in These Days. Titles have become so common that they mean nothing. Men are especially fond of military titles and those that indicate learning. The average colonel of these days knows no more about military drill and army organiza tion thav a blind hog knows of astronomy. Many of the D. D.'s are ignorant of the history of the religions of the world and even of that of their own churches. They are not an authority on any thing. The professor may take out corns, or dig after Greek roots. These titles are so com mon and bestowed without any regard to merit that they carry no honor with them. It is a dis tinction these days to be plain "Mister." That is a good word and of worthy parentage, if you will look into its derivation. Then many of our people run the term "Reverend," as applied to preachers, in the ground. It does not fit many of them. In writing "Rev. John Thomas Jones" it sounds very well, but it is abomi nable when it becomes Rev. Jones. The term "brother" is also much abused. 1 any merchants and clerks, with more calico on hand than brains are in the habit of addressing strange customers as "brother." From such turn away and deal not with them. They either have little sense and man ners, or they expect to cheat you. Even in churches the word "broth er" is greatly.abused. When re ligious bodies meet for worship r business, it may be proper to use that term, but it should be done very sparingly. Nine cases out of ten "Mister" is more re spectful. There is no can't about that. Titles should always con vey a meaning. If not, the wearer of them masquerades before tie public as a sort of frau4. Let us get back to plain Mister that is always well pleasing to sensi ble men.-Carolina Spartan. Twenty Year Battle. "I was a loser in a twenty year battle with chronijL piles and alignant sores, until I tried Bucklen's Arnica Salve; which turned the tide, by curing both, till not a trace remains," writes A.

Why don't the Southern people iave sense enough to recogmze :otton seed oil as the prinoipal asis of practically all the sot alled lard they are now using mnd go in directly for cotton seed il rather than lard? We confess >ar inability to give a. satisfac ory answer to this question. [he chemiist tells us that there is o harm in cottaa seed oil and ractical experien~e got only ells us that it measures up te very requirement of lard; but hat it is just as wholesome and ver so much cleaner. But still re have a prejudice against the il and won't use jb until the ~iorthern packer has mitad it with more or less questionable iog fat, labeled it under a different1 ame and sold it back to us at a igher price. By the way is it ot possible that our objection to otton seed oil in food is really a natter of Yankee suggestion? If here was any way to trace the natter to the bottom this is about vhat we won.Ld find. ALnd yet, it s as plain as the~ ge on one's ace that if the southern people ould assume a frank, open at tude toward the subject, deter nine on the use of cotton seed ii theraselves, brag on it and do dll in their power to remove the rej adiees of others, the result .ould be a still more wholesomc roduct than we are now getting t much less cost. We are allow ng ourselves to be duped in this natteor, and we are paying tribute n a comnmocdity that is absolutely1 ur own.-Yorkvilla Enquirer. A Tragic Finish. A watchman's neglect permitted a leak in the great North Sea clyke, which a uhild's linger could have stopped, to baeopge a ruin us break, devastating an entire province of Holland. In like manner Kenneth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., permitted a little old to go unnoticed until a tragic finish was only averted by Dr. ing's New Discovery. He writes: "Three doctors gave me up to die >f lung inflammation, caused by a neglected cold; but Dr. T~ing's New Discovery saved my life." uaranteed best cough and cold cure, at Jno. H.

C A statesman springs up every day or two and shouts: "When you find a county treasurer steal- s ing, what do you do, abolish his I office?" And then in stentorian n voice answers himself: "No! r They put the treasurer in jail and clean up his office. Then why T abolish the dispensary because C of stealing there? Put the thief A in the penitentiary and run the 1 dispensary right." And the boys 2 whoop. The logic hits 'em just r right. There are differences t( however. The treasurer's office n is part of the government ma- ti chinery; its conduct is in no V manner corrupting. When there c is stealing a bookkeeper can 2 expose it and the official can be punished. The treasurer's office S is successfully conducted i n 1 thonsands of counties in dozens ih of States. The State dispensary J is successfully conducted nowhere. A If a man established a pole-cat f< farm near his home and finds that the profits derived do not T compensate him for the tainted L breezes that invade his house, F what would he do, get rid of the T polecats or sprinkle rosewater to about the premises. The Ravsor- A Manning bill will be about as 21 effective in making the dispensary sweet and clean as would a E rosewater sprinkler on a polecat G farm.-The State. 81 Saved His Comrade's Life.

Without in anywise minimizing the evil infnuences3 of other forms of gambling, we wish to emphasize the statement, that dealing in cotton futures as it is now carried on by the average operator is tho most prenicious evil in the south to-day. This is . particularly true of the so-called "Bucket Shops," where the man of small means can risk his stakes and take his chances on each turn of the big wheel manipulated at headquarters in New York, New Orleans and Liverpool. The bucket shop is a serious menace to the future welfare of the coun try. All forms of gambling are hazardous and detrimental to the morals of the community and the future of the nation. The south has lost millions of hard earned dollars this winter through the medium of bucket shops, private wire houses and the big .cotton exchanges. It is better'to have a roulette wheel on every street corner w*here the man of gambling proclivities can risk his dollar in the open than to permit the existence of a single bucket shop, where behind closed doors our young men can be induced to risk their salaries at a game where all the cards are stacked and dealt out against them. We have no word of criticism against the legal exchange where men legitimately engaged in the cotton business can place their par Dhases or sales for future receipt or delivery of the actual commodity. Under existing conditions the buyer and the seller are forced to operate in the future to a great extent, but the people who buy )r sell, dealing along in paper or 3halk marks, risking their money :n a purely gambling proposition should be stopped by the laws of the country. The evil of gambling in cotton rutures has been most severely 3ondemned by the judges of our imperior and supreme courts and his system of gambling has been sonstrued by the courts as the ,reatest evil of modern ti s and ,he most pernicious. If it is to )e checked, it must be dQne hrough the development of a 3iblic sentipient which will be so itrong as to enforce effective egislation by the representatives >f the people in the various yeneral assemblies of the different itates.-Cotton Journal.
