There are numerous complaints of t.hedd Ihg and rust, and Insects ravag ing the crop in many sections of Mis sissippi and Louisiana.' whllo the boll worms and boll weevil are reported to have done great damage in many purtions of Texas, the latter being more numerous than in past seasons and infecting many new localities. The crop situation at present is very uncertain, and it will be some time before an approximate idea can be formed as to the ultimate yield, and considering the deterioration in August, we believe the Government liureau Report of mo condition tip to the 25th August rather too good, how ever, the crop has deteriorated mater ially since the Government Report was compiled, and any further deteriora tion is likely to cause a rapid advance In prices.

New Coulee of Reading. The State board of education is pre paring a course of study for a teach ers' reading circle, which will lead to a 15 or 20 years' Htate certificate. The i'lan i? to arrange a course of study tliut the teachers may read at home and utility at the county associations, i Ills course will he made to harmonize wliii the regular courses In the publlo schools and also with the summer reboot and library work. A committee appointed by the State board in May reported at the meeting Friday night and recommended at three or four years course which shall re quire a certain amount of reading and study each year to bo followed with an examination either at the Hutumer schools or ut the regular teachers' ex amination. It Is suggested that work be done the first year in English gram mar, language and litorature, pedagogy, arithmetic and civics. During thla year the teachers will be required to study such text books as Doublet's Oram rrur, ChuMbs' Literature. James' "Talks to Teachers," Peterman's "Civil Gov ern inent," and to read such supplemen tary literature as "Enoch Arden," "Evangeline," "IXrds and Dees," "Hla<-1< Deauty," Franklin's Autobiog raphy, "Twice Told Tales," "Gulliver's Travels," "Plutarch's Lives," "Robin eon Crusoe," "Self Help," "Silas Mar ner," "Sketch Dook," "Tom Drown's School Days," "Stories of Dlrd Life," <*11 of which are found In the regular library list. The second year' course will review the first and do more advanced work In composition, literature, algebra and history .As supplementary reading the following will be suggested: "The Land of Song," "Lady of the I^ake," "Lays of Ancient Home," "Merchant of Venice," "Vision of Sir Launfnl," "Ilorse Shoo Robinson," "Ivanhoe," "Last. of the Mohicans," Poe's "Tales," "Treasure Island," "Yemasse," etc. During the third year the course will contain studies of southern literature, studios of Tennyson, geography, nature study ?nd manual training, and for parallel or library reading the com mittee suggests Paneoast English Poems, Carson's Alma o! Literary Study, Koopman's Mastery of Books, selections from Carlyle, Emerson, Lowell and Ruskln, also "Twelfth Night," "Macbeth" and "Tempest." The report of the committee will be printed and submitted to the State board at the next moeting for amendent and adoption. The hoard does not hope to get this course in operation till next year, hut they hope to arrange one of the best teachers' reading circles In the United States and thus have teach ers all over the State studying, along the same line, at the same time. The State hoard, at its meeting Sat urday. also voted to allow the granting of a certificate to teachers who suc cessfully complete nine courses wif study in a county or district suinimr school. A committee was appointed to livse the list of colleges whilo grad uates are allowed to teach without ex amination, and- report at the next meeting. A committee was also appointed to rrepare rules and regulations to gov ern the award of scholarships to the State institutions. In an appeal case from Newberry the action of the county board was sus tained. because said board acted strict ly within its Jurisdiction under the i law. The action of the Saluda .board in dividing a school district was re duced below the constitutional limit of nine square A very complicated appeal case came from Oconee, which ! was heard, and a committee was ap : pointed to consult with the attorney general and. .the superintendent of ed ! vcatlon and prepare an order, subject to the approval of the board. After ! hearing and deciding many other minor matters, the board adjourned Satur day. Baptists Gave Freely. Spartanburg, Special. ?
