Augusta now wants artesian wa

It is alleged that tho republicans

The railroads have announced a

Cuban affairs seem quiet, the

Representative McLaurin sup
ports Senator Tillman's bill for
the establishment of two judiciary
districts in South Carolina. No
conclusion has yet been reached
by the judiciary committee to
whom the matter was referred.
There is actually a coffin trust
and prices have advanced from 16
to 20 per cent, within a few days.
Truly it is time for the passage of
anti trust bills and the formation
of a State mortuary emporium, as

The battleship Indiana, after ac
companying Admiral Bunc6 for
twenty-four hours, was forced to
return to Hampton Roads. The
rough seas caused the big guns to
roll so that all hands were afraid
the ship would "turn turtle" and

would she be in a nval battle if a
storm should come on.
John Gary Evans has been ap
pointed by Gov. Ellerbe the agent
to go on to Washington to receive
tho direct tax due by the Federal
government to the State of South
Carolina. The whole amount is
ten thousand do?larB, for which re
ceiving and bringing back John
Gary is to receive the mere pittance
of three thousand dollars.
Governor Ellerbe in a special
message to the legislature, calls at
tention to the fact that the proba
ble income of the State for the
year 1897 is only $607,958, while
the probable necessary expendi
ture will be $640,000. He advises
the assembly against making un
necessary appropriations or incur
ring additional debt.
Some of the members of the
legislature, we don't know who,
are responsible for i.great waste
of time. Frequently the "fathers"
of the bills are not there to take
care of their offspring, and action
on important matters is often post
poned for lack of a quorum. At a
night session of the Senate there
were not enough members present
to even call the roll. And still,
with few exceptions, the members
of bol h houses bitterly oppose any
motion looking to an early adjourn
ment, or even fixing the day for
adjournment. Columbia's drink
ing water must bc better this year.

Tho ab3ve is a true ana correct
apportionment made in accord
ance w:;th the Teachers' Monthly
Reports as are found, in this office.
I find many pay warrants drawn
by teachers and no reports at
tached. Each warrant must be
accompanied by a full and com
plete report for each month. I also
urge that the trustees make a com
plete annual report to this office
jpn or before the first cay of August
pf each year, according to Section
12 of the School Law, for without
Buch reports it is impossible for
me to make a true and correct ap
portionment. I again urge that
each and every trustee appointed
by the county board of education
some to this office in person, as I
tvieh his signature, and at the
pame time get the apportionments
for the several districts,
jjI find that several of the school I
^istricts during the fiscal year just '
f&<?sed have overdrawn their ap
portionment, while others have un
'xpended balances.
No teachers pay warrant will be
approved unless signed personally
jy at least a majority of the trus
tees of each district and also ac
ompauied by a teachers' monthly
eport for the month for which
aid warrant is drawu.
