The cold snap has about killed all s?~ the fruit, and all high prices have been indiscriminately killed at T. B. Aughtry & Co's., Columbia. They are beating the world now in selling all kinds of groceries, provisions, grain, the be3t buggies and wagons ever made, at the lowest prices. We don't ask you to accept this alone as convincing, but go there yourself and you will find out that the half has not been told. The New Bridge. The bridge over Twelve Mile creek on depot road has been finished by the Lexington Manufacturing Co. It is quite a long structure and in crossing-it one is impressed with the idea that it is an approach to some large city. The first time Wade Corley and John Sox crossed it they looked about to see where the tollkeeper was, and gave an audible! . ^ sigh of relief when they again reached terra firma and found there was no such official and nothing to pay. _____ Cost Little to Lead Up.

Stats 3:a:d -Examiners. The following report of the proceeding of the State Board of Examiners was given to press yesterday: The Board held two session?one on Friday night and one on Saturday. A number of applications were presented asking for the adoption of additional maps and charts by the State, but the board declined to make any further adoptions at this time at list prices, deeming the present method of the sale and introduction of these charts and maps too expensive. These applications were received as information. They amended the standing resolution of the Board re garding the sale of maps and charts already on the State list. As the resolution stood, the trustees were authorized to purchase maps, globes and charts upon the recommendation of the School Commissioners. The amendment requires that the recommendation be made by the County Board of Examiners before the purchases can be made, and limits the recommendation to such maps and charts as are now on the j State lists. The following resolution, which is j of an important nature, was adopted: I Besolved, That the various County Boards of Examiners be requested to call the attention of the School Trustees of their repectivc Counties to the provisions of law wlich prohibits one trustee from singing the names of another trustee to any school claim or warrant, and that no contract can j be made or school claim or wan-ant { I signed except at a regular meeting of j the Board of Trustees. Manuscript histories of South Carolina were presented to the Board by Captain J. L. Weber of Charleston, and Colonel John A. Chapman of Newberry, requesting that these histories be added to the State list of | text books to be used by the free public schools of the State. A communication was also received from Professor T. E. Ewart of Tygersvilie, asking the privilege of submitting the manuscript of a history of South Carolina that he had prepared. The following resolutions were ; adopted by the Board in regard to j I histories: | Resolved, That all manuscripts of | history of South Carolina now sub mitted or* hearafter to be submitted to the Board for examination be presented in type-written copy. That all such copy be presented to the members of the Board in time to be duly examined by them before the regular meeting of the Board. That the manuscript bo accompanied with some indication of the proposed arrangement of the text, style and cost ot tfte Doom An important change was made in the rules regulating the granting 0f o o o o teachers1 certificates and licenses. The form of County teachers' certificates now in use indicates only the percentage made on the various branches upon which applicant is examined, the grade of certificate depending upon average percentage made on showing that the certificate was granted on th8 presentation of a /linlnmn The now form will show in addition, holder's experience as a teacher, and also attendance oil teachers1 institutes, proper credit being given for these valuable factors in a teacher's usefuluess. Understanding resolutions of the State Board, those applicants vrho failed to obtain a their grade certificate on examintion, could be granted a license to teach for one term, at a reduced rate, where the necessity 01 the case required. In order to discourage the granting of these licenses, which has been found to be detrimental to the cause of education where practiced, the Board changed the rule so that now no license can be granted in any case where a t holding a certificate could be .! ii d, and in such cases where they ,re granted, fixing the salary of the licensees at $10 per month. The appeal of the County Board of Examiners of Lancaster County being incomplete, was recommitted to that Board for such further action as the parties in interest may deem to perfect 8 proper case and appeal for t heconsideration of this State Board. The Board decided to have the State divided into suitable districis for the holding of teachers' institute s this Summer, and the detailed work for fhe perfection of this plan and arranging for the holding of the in stitutes was referred to the State Superintendent of Education. A resolution was passed urging the County Board of Examiners to redistrict their Counties in suitable school districts, and press the levying of special school tax under the provision of the school act of 1888 in all proper cases. AJ1 the resolutions of the School Commissioners published beretofoie were acted cn favorably by the Board. B. E. Park, General Southern Agent for the American Book Company, was heard by the State Board on the questios of cost of school books. By request of -tljg Board Mess^l. Duffie ancT^ryan were also heard* After hearing what the gen tlemen bad to say/fhe Board, deeming tbe matter Joi vital importance, instructed the (State Superintendent of Education tOj. collect further information and repoVt the results of bis investigation to an adjourned meeting of tbe State moard to be held on May 23, 1891.
