That is one of the fruitn of the educational statesmanship of the last Legislature. This Legislature at its first session in 1903 established in the South Carolina College forty-one Dormal scholarships, and at its next eession doubled the number of these scholarships, making * * ??Thio re a d tn iwo irom eacu UUUL11J i. uio nuu w i provide a new class, bet as not all the holdovers will return, there will doubtless be aB many as sixty new scholarships awarded this summer, one in every county and two to a county in many instances. Any person interested should write to President Benjamin Sloan or Prof. Patterson Wardiaw, Columbia, S. C. Each of these scholarships pays $40 in money toward living expenses, and exempts the holder from a fee of $18, which is exacted of all other students, and also exempts from the tuition fee of $40, which, however, is remitted to any student ?1? ftf inohilifv tfl rtftV WUU U1H&OS JL/lUUi Ui WW ? ^ it. It admits a man entirely free and pays about half of bis board. This munificence of tbe State is designed primarily to provide better teachers for tbe country Bcboole, but incidentally it aids poor but worthy young men to obtain a college education and fit themselves for higher things in life. In order that the scholarships shall go to this class of young men and net be gobbled up by young fellows who could get to college without the scholarships, the awards are not made solely with reference to the marks made on examination, and men nineteen years of age and over are given the preference. This gives an opportunity to the country young man, whose technical preparation may be far less than that of the fifteen-year-old graduate of a town graded school, but whose maturity and earnestness are a guaranty that when given an opportunity to study in college he will pull through and make a man of himself. Preference is still further given to young men who have taught school. It is often the case that a young man in the country, although with poor preparation, attempts to teach the neighborhood school. For his own sake and for the sake of the schools he ought to be given a better education before he becomes settled in a life of inferior work. Hence the special effort of the authorities of the South Carolina College is to induce young men teachers who are ill prepared for their work to stop now and go to college while they can. The scholarship men last year were of the average age of 22J years, and the oldest was 33. It is hoped that such young men, having already developed some taste for teaching, and going to college with a definite purpose, will adhere to teaching as their profession. If the beneficiaries of these scholarships were differently selected, a larger proportion of them would do as college men so often do, tarn their backs on the country forever and become professional men in towns and cities. But where they have previously committed themselves to public school work, and then stop and go to college with the idea of fitting themselves for better work in that line, there is strong probability that for the most part they will return to country schoolteaching?a result which will richly repay the State for its liberal policy in providing for their training as teachers. Each year better salaries are being paid in the country schools, and for Beverai years there have been in several counties country schools which college-bred men of high reputation are nrnnd fcn fceaeh. The simnlicitv. freedom aDd beauty of country life, and the growing advantages, with telephones, mail deliveries and libraries, have peculiar charms for the scholar and the thinker. The present indications are that within this decade country schoolteaching in South Carolina?bo long held in disrepute? will be recognized as a choice profession. Already six to nine hundred dollars a year, with little expense for living, is not an infrequent salary. Professor Wardlaw's men readily i Tribute of Esspect.

The course of study is specially designed to improve the public schools. Last year it included, besides the usual subjects, special instruction in pedagogics, physics, nature study and drawing, and the course for next year has been enlarged and improved and will include sight singing. The students had the benefit of observation and practice under a critic teacher, and next session will practice teaching in the Columbia public schools, having the benefit of the supervision and criticisms of Columbia's best teachers. ine Detter to impress toe scnooi spirit and arouse the young men to a sense of the dignity and magnitude of their profession, there will be a series of lectures by leading school superintendents and principals. Thus this body of young teachers will combine theory and practice in their studies, and every two or three week will be stimulated by a special message from some notable educator fresh from daily contact with the practical problems of the schoolroom. It is thus that the College is seeking to execute the wise plan of the Legislature for improving the common schools of the State and raising the standard of citizenship. Assem bling within her walls and at the seat of State government annually eighty-two young men teachers from the forty-one counties of the State, inspiring and broadening them by contact with students from all sections of the State and all spheres of life, strengthening their State pride and their unity of spirit with the best traditions of the State, the South Carolina College will teach them how to study and how to live, and how to teach, and will leave upon them her mark as men and gentlemen.

Kirmse, a member of the bridge gang working near Littleport, was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that lie had to have the members of the crew to wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him out and accordI inly several doses were administered with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly of Mr. Gilford's medicine.?Elkader, Iowa, Argus. This remedy never fails. Keep it in your home, it may save life. For sale by The Kaufmann Dtug Co. A Slow Yankee. Europe can never, it seems, get used to the Yankee way of doing business, even in England, where" one would think they had had enough experience to understand us. One London paper devotes considerable space to telling of the visit of an American millionaire, who cabled to a London firm that he would call upon them on the next Wednesday at 10:30 a. m. Almost on the minute he arrived and talked to tbe senior partner for twenty minutes at a rate that almost gave tbe 1 Londoner heart failure. Next day he came again and in thirty minuteB had closed a deal that meant a good many tnousand pounds a year to the London firm and on Saturday was on the ocean again bound for New 1 York, leaving the partners in a daze, which was dispelled only by contemplating the signature on the paper. To us the wonder would be, not 1 how he finished his business so soon, 1 but what he did with all that time between Thursday and Saturday. End of Bitter Fight.
