They represent the )rofessional and business men of al most every department of the city, and the company bids fair to be the pride of Laurens. The organization of a militia company here at this time is due in large measure to the activity and enthusiastic efforts of Col. James H.

"Since the public school library law was enacted about two years and a half ago, nearly 800 libraries have been established in places where none had eKisted before,' said State Super intendent 0. B. Martin. "Many of those have enlarged and improved. The number should reach the 1,000 mark by the close of this year. When a library is once established, it should be increased every year. The act was amended to provide for this very thing, and also to provide for a suit able book case for the Ebraries. "The case adopted by the State board of Education is a bargain for $10. I have had many inqniries as to whether the library books and book cases can be bought Iv individual citizens at the contract price. I am very glad that such is the case. I am also very much gratified that the libaries in the schools have improved the libraries in the homes. rAis community in this state can raise $10 in order to secure $30 worth of good books, and an elegant book case. I have heard of many instances where the teachers appointed com mittees of pupils and they raised more than the required amounts in a few hours. Again I have heard of the money being raised by meais of entertainments, such as dialogues. readin-s, eharades, etc. "It is very easy to get patrons to eontribute refreshments and provis ious, and $10 can be raised at one time by means of a dinner or supper. There are numerous othe ways which have been devised by earnest. pro gressive teachers. Let us continue this good work with renewed energy during the coming session. "Before ordering a library, the li brary act should b6 carefully read. Whin the money is collected in the community. the trustees should de posit it with the connty treasurer, take his receipt. and dyaw a warrant in favor of the county superintendent for $10 who will also deposit with the treasurer. The county board will ap propriate $10 to be used for the pur chase of the book case. The county superintendent will then notify the State superintendent in regular form. The State superintendent will then forward the State's share of the ap propriation. "The teacher should always be con sulted when the books are being se lected. The Educational Publishing company of Atlanta, Ga., having sub mitted the lowest bids, the contract for furnishing all of the books on the library list was awarded to them. -It is illegal, therefore, to buy these books from other houses and agents. This company is under bond and con tract. "In ordering books it is a good plan to get two of these pamphlets. Cheek off the books .ordered oii both pamphlets. Keep one and send the other to the Educational Publishing company."' New Enterprises. Several important new enterprises recorded their articles of incorpora tion Friday. The Monroe Banking and Mercantile company of Hlonca Path was charterd. The capitaliia tion is $35,000. J. F. Monroe is pres ident: R. A. Munroe, vice president, and Albert S. Fant cashier. The Bank of Aiken and the Peo ple's Bank of Aiken gave notice of consolidation. The new enterprise will be known as the Bank of Aiken with .a capitalization of .$100.000. H. M. Dibble is president and W. W. Muckenfuss is cashier. Mr. F, B. Henderson was president of the Peo rile's Bank. The Bank of Aiken was ohartered 20 years ago, Dec. 23, 1886. with a capital stock of $5000. The corporators of the Dry Fork Coal and Timber company of Charles ton were given a commission. The parties interested are: R .P .Tucker and R. L. Montague. Capital stock will be $30,000 . Purpose of organiza tion is to ''acquire, own, lease, occu py, use or develop any ore, or mineral and any wood lands or any lands for any purpose,'' etc. Youth Breaks Ris Thigh.

Havana, By Cable.-William H. Taft, as provisional Governor of Cuba, and Secretary of War of the United States, Tuesday night issued an order to General Frederick Fun ston, outlining the duties of the Am erican forces in Cuba. The officers of marines stationed in various localities are advised that they are not expected to take part in an active way in the suppresion of disorder unless extreme emergency ?rises in which it is absolutely nec essary for them to protect life and property. The duties of the marines are generally limited to tendering their good offices between the con Eicting elements and the prevention >f that friction which, in the high tate of tension between the political parties, is inevitable during the pres 3nt crisis. The order says that it is expected that the presence of the marines in the community will create ;uch a sense of security that the rural uards and the police will be able to suppress and disorder which mani rsts itself. The order concludes as Collows: To Preserve the Amenities. "The President of the United States deems it of the utmost impor Lance that the American forces do ot engage in conflicts with Cubans, ut that disorders by Cubans be sup pressed by Cubans. It is also ex ected that the officers and men, both >f the army and the marine corps, will exert every effort to show all yourtesies possible to Cubans. of a parties, and avoid in any way injur ng their sensibility." The order makes it plain that the marines will remain in the island, for -he present, as ar. adjunct to the in rantry. Governor Taft said that practically ll the American warships now in ,uban waters would soon be with irawn. An amnesty proclamation of the nost sweeping character possible, pardoning every serious crime which as been an outhgrowth of the recent revolution and its causess, will be issued by Governor Taft. Complete pardon is granted to all persons mn olved in the killing of Con resman Villuendas as Cienfne os, in September, 1905, as wvell as o everybody implicated in the killing f several rural guardsmen at Guana aeao last February.

Washington, Special.-At the an- a nual convention of the National Ru al Letter Carriers' Association which a was held at Peroria, Ill., a letter was p submitted from P. V. DeGraw, Fourth Asistant Postmaster General, regret- G ting his inability to attend the con vention. The communication recites the status of rural delivery through- , out the country, and instances itz h many advantages to farmers, not only a from the viewpoint of the accomoda- e tion, but from its great educational influence, the improvement of roads, b and the palpable increase in the value of lands, and points out how by co operation with the Department, rural carriers may aid in minimizing the P many vexatious problems which sur- 0 round the establishment and mainten- t ance of the service. The letter, in part, is as follows: t a "It is costing the government over t) $2 a year for each of the 13.500,000 n persons now receiving the service, but 12 there is no doubt that the expendi ture is fully justified by the results p obtained. It is generally conceded 0 that rural delivery of mail has been E a leading factor in the great increase in the value of farm lands and rural s real estate in all parts of the country. c Some remarkable reports of increased 3 land values have been received and in nearly every case the advance is at tributed to the beneficial effect of rural delivery. C "The amount of money appropriat ed by Congress for the rural delivery 0 service for the current fiscal year is G $2S,200,000, for the year ended June 30, last, it was $25,S28,300, an in crease of more than $4,700,000 over the previous. year, when it was $21,- 1 116,600, which in turn was an in- e crease of $8,000,000 over the fiscal w year 1903-04. In the twelve months v from July 1, 1905, to July 1. ,1906, 3, 713 rural routes were established, e against 7,439 in the previous fiscal d year, anc 91 routes were discontinued. r "The number of routes in opera- e tion September 1, 1906, was 35,666, b and up to that date 53,961 petitions e for the service had been received, a upon which - there were 14,936 ad- t1 verse reports, and there were 2,773 e pending. t. "As to the patronage of a ioute, s it has been considered that an av- n erage route should handle -three tl thousand pieces of mail per month. t: "Prior to August 1901 the use of b approved boxes in the rural delivery 1 service was not required, and some~ n of the receptacles erected such as c oil and powder cans, cracker and L< cigar boxes, stove-pipes, and even tV bootlegs were not only unsafe and un suitable for the purpose but also. a n, reproach to the service. It was be- F cause of numerous complaints to the i government against these urifit re- t: ceptacles that the present regulations were promulgated' "The subject of good roads in con nection with rural mail service is an important one.

"Daring the .fiscal year ending S June 30, 1905, there were 4,558 rural carrier examinations hela under the o direction of' the Civil Service Commnis- a sion, in which there were 30,333 com petitors.
