For some time we have been trying to find out how the teachers of this county are pleased with the books now on the State list and the results obtained with these nooks as well as oanfimont rtf rtpnnlp in recrard truv? ovuvuuvmv v* ?#mv v. 0 to changes of text books. As far as we have been able to learn, the present books with few exceptions, are satisfactory and have given good results. Our schools have made decided progress with them. Teachers are familiar with them and ^can do better work with them than they could with new books, and it would take some time to become familiar with. Our neoole are decidedly opposed to changes, except where absolutely necessary. Changes are very costly as they know from experience. It is to be hoped that the State board will not burden the people of the State with any extensive changes in our present book list. Gov. Heyward says he would like to act on the investigating committee's suggestion and remove Maj.

However, there were no sales, but the County Commissioners were in session and only did routine work, considering and passing on claims, though not so many in number. The Board of Control was also in session dividing and apportioning the dispensary sales of last month. The Board of Registration were at work. So all and all made a fair aggregation, and things had a business appearance. Fishermen, you can find your tackle at the Bazaar. Japanese canes also.

A ITegro Drowned. Will Lane, a young negro and an axman of the engineering corps working on the survey for the water power company near Dreher's ferry, went to that place on Sunday morning to go in swimming and plunged into water at the ferry- about twelve feet deep and apparently he could not swim, as he almost sank at once, in the presence of a number of people who, it is said, offered all the assistance advisable, handing a pole to the drowning man, but he did not grasp it and sank. Some of them patriotic enough proposed to swim in, but others said both would be drowned, and so they had to stand and see the man drown. His body was recovered and sent to his home in Columbia for burial. . A Eay ofEajoyment. Don't forget to attend Ioor Hayes' big barbecue on June 16th.
