South Carolina Pupils and Ander
son County Students Will
Get Benefit of Rate
Anderson, county Behool oflicials and
patrons of the schools have always
belioved that thc price of text hooks
for UBe iu South Carolina schools 1B |
too high and they will therefore learn
with pleasure that a slight reduction
bas been made in the cost of two tey
books used in the public schools and
lt ls believed that additional reduc
tions rosy Inter be obtained on other
books.
John E. Swcaringen, stale superin
tendent of education, has beeu in
formed of reductions in the price of |
two textbooks now in use in the publk
schools. Thompson's United States!
history, adopted for the seventh grade
will sell for 65 cents instead of 70
cents. WebBter's High School dic
tionary, adopted for the eighth, ninth,
tenth, eleventh grades will sell for 88
cents instead of 90 cents.
Both of these textbooks were adopt- j
ed for South Carolina in the summer |
of-1911. The prieeB then, agreed up
on were fixed in acordant e with the ?
bids of the several publishers.
With1 a the last fortnight the text
book commission of Tennessee com
pleted Its adoption of school books.
Thc D. C. Heath company, publishers
of Thompson's United States histry,
wore awarded the contract for this
book at 65 cents per copy. This
price automatically accrues to South
Carolina as well, making the cost of
Thompson's United States history to
seventh grade boys and girls 5 cents
less than heretofore. Purchasers of
the book should be careful to see that
the label on the inside front cover of
thiB book shows 65 cents instead of 70
cents.. ., _ -. " . , , .

there have bfeen wonderfully changed.

"Work is well under way on the

Mahlte uf Hire Fred for Ollie.
Ollie Branyon, a handsome South
Carolina boy. who formerly lived here,
came down on a visit last week and
when bc left for Kern county, Sunday,
bjis young friends here gathered at the
station and dumped a whole grocery
store full of rice on his trail. Ollie
wasn't married then and he Isn't mar
ried now. but his friends made the
whole train load of folks believe that
he was on his wedding trip. Ollie's
trunks were decorated with old shoes
and other relics and he even wore thc
customary nervousness of the regula
tion groom, and he spent two days in
combining South Carolina rice out of
his hair. The passengers all smiled
and nodded and expressed curiosity,
and it was a great relief for Ollie to
break away and escape to the oil fields
near Bakersfield. Next time he comes
to Banning he will either not come at
all or really become a loving husband
and let the crowd fire rice until the
walls of the city totter and fall,.

IN thc Latest. i
Kasley Progress. ^
Mr. Mack Fowler of the Saluda side,
was in tho city .Monday for the. first
lime in several years. Mack once
lived near Easloy. Ile is a good hon
est fellow, but told a tish story that is
a little hard to believe. He staled
that near lila home when the water
gct3 up in the river it hacks up a
small ravine and quantities of large
carp run out of thc river into this ed
dy water and that he and his neigh
bors just run a wire nm across the
mouth of the small stream and when
the water recedes, capture all the tish
they can make use of. This, of
course, is all very plausible, but now
comes the part of the story that gets
our goat.
He says that on a recent occasion
after the water has fallen they failed
to lind as many carp as usual in thc
pond but were much surprised to find
several very large ones lying on the
hank al thc extreme end of the pond
where they had jumped ont of the wa
ter in an endeavor to get hack into thc
river which was several yards dis
tant. -.

Yours very truly,

You all know these men and what they say is true.
We do not claim R. L. T. to be a "cure all" but as a LIVER TONIC, v/e'do not believe it has an equal, lt is a well-known fact that most of the diseases common to man
are due to the inactivity of the liver. This is especially true of CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION, BILIOUSNESS, HEADACHES, ETC. There is no better remedy known to
day f pr any of the above troubles than )?
