Wbllo tho 4th of July, 17?V>, was tho date of tho Declaration of Independence tho 4th of July. 1801, was tho time whou it was carried Into full effect by theos tablishment of the capital, so that this country is really but n century old. Union lind independence forever is today tho watchword of 70 million A mor lean free mon. When tho nineteenth century was born, there was not a nation In which tho subjects bud a voice In the affairs of ;:ov eminent. Tho influence of tho United Suites hun boon such during the past con tury thut there is not a civilized nation in the affairs of which tho people have no volco. They volo oven tn Husein. Thor nre now live republics upon tho continent of Europe. Tbero are no mitions that ure not republics lu tho western lismisphero, and there aro two republics In Africa Having ropubllcnulaod tho world and made every nation recognize, at least to some extent, tho principles outlined in our doelur.iticu of independence, WS now open a new century, as the beacon light of tho world, in bringing about tho nat ural sequences of this universal brother hood of manhood, taught first by Christ when upon tho earth, and forgotten through eighteen centuries, the dealing together of tho nations of the earth to their mutual prollt, in the advancement of civilization, tho promotion of peace ?nd tho enhancement of their material wolfnro. Our forefathers pledged tu a revolution their lives, their fortunes mid their sa cred honor to secure for us this hoon. They forecasted tho future, mid built tho foundations of our free go vorn mell t upon broad and patriotic principles, which in tboir triumph would seeuro a perpetual union of slates and an enduring ludo penitence of tho nation. Tho crises through which wo have passed, while menacing the stability of tho union, have never imperilled our freedom. Thu civil war was a severe shock to the unity of tho states, but wo have passed through tho flory ordeal, and today have a Union stronger and a patriotism broader and deeper than ever, in all this laud, from Maine to California, from the Lakes to the Qulf, there is hut onu heart, ono country, and ono people, all cemented together, by the ties of true patriotism and the lovo of human freedom. Well may the American people, North, South, East sud West, glory In thia day, hul lo wed ns it ia by the associations uud triumphs of tho past, and magnified hy the bright promises of the future. Our past ns a nation ls safe, bul it is gono for ever: WO cannot recall or chango lt. Wo can, however, seize tho present, and wise ly uso tho opportunity tn make our futuro the realization of tho wildest dreams of tho most optimistic American, TIIIC LESSONS OK 'MK PAST. I propose today to emphasize mir pres ent splendid opportunities as a nation and the grund results to flew from tboir full appreciation and utilization. Wo ire standing today with the vanishing shad ows of tho last cent ury plas lag about our foot, while the dim light of tho dawning now century kisses our brow. From tho top of Time's highest peak \v.> cnn look backward along the great highway that all nations have t raveled, wu can soothe steady foot steps of the human race, as lt bas plodded on and on, making epochs In earth's history and roaring monuments to murk human progress. Let us, my fol low-citizens, learn wisdom from tho past Its follies, crimes and blunders may bo turned into sublime stepping stones, to lift our generation lo a higher plano of exlstenco. Along the highway, whore wo have pasbcd, hate, sectionalism and blind partisanship show where tho road hus dropped off into many an abyss, ragged and doep. Tho torn garments and tho whitened bones wo soo far down below should warn us to tum and seek tho bet ter path, nt whoso summit Ho swoot pros perity, liberty, ponce and justice. Step by .tep tho procat'S of education and ad vancement has proceeded. Euell century ha? shown some progress in a certain di reo ti on in human thought, in human en deavor and in human Improvement. "I doubt not thro' tho ages ono Increas ing purpose runs, And tho thoughts of mon are widened with tho process of the suns." Thc thought so beautifully expressed tn tho parable of the sowers \j true of na tions as well as of |ludl viii unis. ''Behold tbero wont out n sower co sow, And bo sowed, aomo foll by tho wayside undMho fowls of tho Air rame and devour .d lt up." This was true right in Jerusa lem. "And some fell on stony ground where it had not much earth ami Imme diately lt sprang up, because it had no depth cf earth, !>i.t wbon lim MHO WHS up, lt was scorched, find because it bad no root It withered away."' Tills wns lino in Homo, whore Christians were put to death in the Coliseum, "And soino fol) among thoron, ami tho thorns grew up and choked lt, and it yielded no fruit." This was true in Persia, willoh at that limo led the civilization of the world. We get our common school system from Prussia, who gol it directly from Persia, "And others fellini good ground and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased, sonic thirty and som? sixty and some au hundred-" It foll upon good ground in Germany and brought forth the Lutheran reformation, lt fell on good ground In England and brought fort h the full estab lishment nf Protestantism, it fell upon good ground in New Enginiiii and brought torth tho largest degree of religious and personal liberty ever known. It might bfl said that the good ground upon which lt fell all belonged to the Saxon ratos. 'I bo human ?yo cn lin ol look stuldonty upon a dazzling light wit leon hdng Minded; when the Son of Dod Hist preached tho doctrino of the Kingdom of Heaven, In Which all who subjected lb 6m sol ves to Ibo dominion of the divino Hider should bo equal and all should be brothers, hunrin eyes wore dazzled at the prospect, and I he - first sight of tills splendid 11 hort) was followed by n period o? darkness BO Intonso that lt ha? always boon koowa lu history as ' the dark ages." Then tho light of llhorty dickered through the clouds, and some men saw lt, end keeplug their eyes upou lt followed Its beckoning to the western hemisphere, where the clouds, were dispelled aud tho full light broke forth, destined to illumin ate the world, never ?gain to ho darkened. Thlt was recognized In a happy way by tho people of Francb, who had groped for the light and fought for a gllmpso of ll until the streets of Parle ran lu blood. I thought of this two weeks ago, as I sat ou the deck of a steamer and saw tho mag nificent stntuo of Liberty, which lu her gratitude Franco presented to tho nation which had bown tho way for liberty to become possible. That stattto now adorns tho harbor of Now York, holding a torch lu Its hand to light tho way across tho seas, that those In distant climes may vlow tho light which shines from tho shores of America. Upon thia statue ls Inscribed "Liberty enlightens the world." In Its hand ls tho wreath of peace. It en lightens the world, not by the clash of arms, or tho frowns of despotism, but hy the light of liberty, which, when it shines in the Incauta of mon, causes them to oboy tho only commandment over given hy the Son of Clod, "That ye lovo ono another." MORAL ADVANCEMENT OOD'8 PURPOSE. No nation in tho past has ead Buch a government ns ours, and hence the results accomplished by IIB up to tho 10th contury waa nothing but a preparatory work. The nations of tho present day havo utilized this preparatory work aud fouuded tholr governments upon a code which recognizes God and his moral government of th? universo, and man's responsibility lu carrying out the designs of this moral government in the elevation of the race. And of all tho nations wo have established a government combining all tho excellen cies of all others that have ever existed. It has for its foundations tho indestructi ble principles of true religion, humun freedom and general human progress. The United States are for this reason destined to play un important and con spicuous part in tho future history of tho world. Isolated lu tho Occident, as the earliest of tho rnco were in tho Orient, sho ls to become tho center from which light, knowledge and civilization aro to be dif fused over tho whole earth. The events of tho last half century havo been pregnant with world wide oonso quences. These havo consplrod to mnko US ns a nation of far moro importance to tho human race and Its futuro history than ever thc chosen nat ton of Ood was lu the infancy of tho world. More progress has been made lu science, tho arts, dis coveries, and in all Intellectual achieve ment:., during tho Inst century than had been made In sixty centuries. It seems as it tho human mind was suddonly ro lioved from tho Incubus under which lt had lnbored for tho ages, and with somo thing like inspiration ontorod into the vast flold of tho occult and undiscovered ele ments of nature and made thom subservi ent to tho phenomenal advancement ol thc race. Sluco the morning stars sang together at tho creation, the atmosphere and all nat ure have lind dltTused iu thou: tho element of electricity, and yet itt presenco and utility escaped tho nttentiot of all tho sagos and philosophers of an tlquity. It wns left for tho christianize mind of tho 19th contury to comprenant its mysterious power and nature, aud t< make it a potential and useful agent In tin practical affairs of life. In tho Hold of discovery tho mechanica Inventions of tho last half century hav< revolutionized agriculture mid all indus trial conditions, and furnished substl tutes for the labor of man which accom plish all the wonders of the human wil and Intellect. For the ages, thc principl of these inventions lay dormant in th vast storehouse of nature, omi human in genulty failed to comprehend lt and nink lt a factor In progress and civilization. I wns reserved for tho Inquisitivo iutollot of tho 19th century, quickened by tho 111 spiring influences of christianity, to OJ plore this rich minc of nature, and to liai ness t ho force's there stored away In nu ohinery w hich has given an Impetus t the progress of tho world such as has nc boen seen i:i any other ora. Hut in the development of tho prlnc pies of government the most rapid strich have been made. It bas been discovore ns almost n revelation that man was n< made for governments but government exist for man. Tho idea of tho nuclei world was ?n organise political sooiet and enact laws to keep its subjects undi restraints, and to exact perfect Obedient as tho only virtue of government. Tl laws of|Caligula, posted so high that r ono could roach them, of Solon, Lycurgu Draco and all other lawgivers, wore codi intended only for tho physical and Into lectual development of man. His mor, senso was repudiated and tho ?ducatif of his moral nature entirely neglccto Ile was treated as a creature of limo ni circumstances, nnd no account was tnk< of his immortal destiny. In this con sh ed tho pro eminent infirmity of all tl monarchies nnd republics which exist? in ancient times. Tho decalogue, whit should bo the foundation of all organlzi political society, as promulgated by tl greatest human lawgiver the world h over seen, was ignored, and them was au stituted for thia enduring hnsis the sam foundations of pagan philosophy ni heathen mythology. For this reason i tiloso governments lu time tottered ai crumbled Into ruins. THU KIIA OP WAU SUCCEEDED HY RDA I COMMKRC'E, Kvor sinco tho foundation of the civ ized world thu nations of the earth ha conducted their warlike expedltio against other nations either thron; pitre lovo of conquest, or from motives plunder. Within recent years, the olv Ized nations have bogun to recognize th those in.it hud-i are not in consonance wi tho principles of humanity, 'l'hoir or quests have as a rule boen pnnceful on during tho past few years, made for t purpose of extending their commerce Tho first department of oommorco i tahlished by any country was Inaugural by Germany, and since that timo all Hie nations have recognized the proprlc of making (lie extension of commerce national object. This now protoction g on to commercial Interest has lesulted a largo extension of such interest. T International trade of the world today over twenty times as groat as lt was century ago. lt has increased out of proportion to Hie increase of poptlluth It has caused a corresponding increase weall h. This condition has brought nbc anew crain tho world's history, whi migh; bo termeil the era of commerce, a this bids in ir to succeed permanently that in ?ai, which has lasted throughc the centuries preceding tho opening of I present ono. This has.cu used the amah Illation of largo corporations into si largor ones, lt has caused commerce bo conducted upon a scale never dream of hy our fat hers. While trusts aro dangerous to tho pi lie welfare by reason of their purpu which ls to Increase prices by prevent! competition and limit production to I point of the greatest possible profit, I legitimate corporation, however largo capital, having for ils purpose a groat crease of production ami tho extension trade instead of the stilting of trade distinctly beneficial ami assists in tho ( fusion of general prosperity. Tho opening op of now markets v create now lines of employ munt mn! FOR SAL ?rense tho number of mon required to 1 conduct tho old lines of husinosH, thus affording to tho nr-n who carns his broad by tho sweat of h is brow tho opportunity to koop constantly employed and Insuring him against periods of enforced Idleness. It ts n happy condition which benefits all and ls not a condltlou which should array ono class ngnuist thc other. Trusts should bo stamped out wherever thoy may ap pear, whether their capital be large or small, but tho employment of largo capi tal, If used In the creation of now trado, osnuot fail to confer beuoUts upon tho entire people. LA Holt AND CAPITAL) And these ancient governments too mndo tho mistake of treating labor us a commodity, without rofe renee to tho laborers. 'Phis mistake was made sololy In tho lutqrcst of thc employer of lahor, and from thc most anclunt times tho na tions of thc earth have treated tho laborer, with relation to his labor, as a personal ity. They have compelled him to dispose of his labor and have even nt t liney, by statutory enactments, compelled all young men to learn a trado. Hut while treating tho labor ns inseparable from tho perBon allty of the laborer, thoy did nothing to protect him In his labor. Undor the prin ciples of equal just ice to nil, tho laborer will he protected in his labor, HS the em ployer ls in his capital. Thu Interests of tho laborer and his employer, if properly understood, aro reciprocal. They are In terested to bring about ono result, the protl l able em p toy men ! of labor to t ho good of both labor and capital. It is to tho in terest of capital to have eflleiont and con tented labor. It is to tho interest of labor that capital should be prolltably employed tn order to increase tho demand for labor. Under tho principles of equality and jus tice this relation will bu so well under stood that it will tiring about a system of legal arbitration, similar to thc principles governing courts of equity, that will de termine questions arising between labor and its employers in stich a mannet as will advance tho interests of both. It was reserved for tho christianized in tellect of tho lUth century to repudiate tho unchristian governmental systems of pre vious ages, and to construct an organized political system of government which re cognized the truth t hat governments were mndo for mau, ami Intended to make him n responsible moral as well ns intellectual subject; that they wore intended to secure human freedom, freedom of conscience, freedom of Intellect, and freedom of ac tion; that they are to be founded on tho groat moral law proclaimed from Mt. Sinai, and that nations as well as individ uals were to bo subject tc) its commands, and thnt thoy were intended to bo the hu man agoneles not only to bless their sub jects but tho world. Tho republican gov ernment of the United States is tho most perfect the world has ever seen. It is a government based upon tho rock founda tion of tho people's rights to govern them selves under the sn notions of nu enlight ened conscience and of the moral law. Perfect Individual and national llborty ls guaranteed by it, and its great purpose is to promote the general Welfare. Truly tho hand of God has boon In this wonder ful ago of human progress, anil has boen Instrumental in raising up our^epubllcns a beacon light to the world and the gov ernmental instrumentality which is to spread tho blessings of human llborty and civilization. ooo's I'Ultl'OSK IN* K.VI'ANSION. With this heaven appointed destiny, what splendid opportunities aro alforded us as a nation. Some are disposed to talk flippantly about tho advent of the United States into tho arena of tho struggle among tho great powers of the earth. They oppose tho extension of our terri tory, of our commerce, of tho blessings of our political institutions and Christian civilization because it increases our na tional obligations. They forgot that no nation ever acquired power and influence without inviting increased responsibilities and marching forward with unflinching boldness towards its destiny. A shrinking from responsibility ls cowardice, and the American people are not cowards.

Figures of Interest to Many People ol tho State-Compulsory Uso Honcetorlh. [Tho State, July let.] Tho fiscal year of tho public schools of tho State is uot cotorminal with tho cal endar year, but runs from July 1 of ouo 1 year to Juuo 30 of tho succeeding yoar. To-day, thou, begins tho now liscal yoar of tho schools, lt also marks tho timo at which tho adoption of text books for tho noxt flvo years practically goos into offed. This adoption or solcolion of books to bo used exclusively ill tho public schools was made tho loth day of last September, and do nomino became olfectivo the first of November last, but tho following, ad opted last September by tho State Board of Education, makes the uso of those books compulsory af tor to-day: "That no pay warrant shall bo issued by any board of Trustees or approved by any County Superintendent of Kduoation in favor of any toachor who, af tor July 1, 1901, uses in tho publie schools of this Stato any text book to tho exclusion of tho text book or books beroin named." Tho amount of monoy paid by tho Stato-or tho pcoplo of tho State-for toxt books is astounding to thoso who havo novor made tho calculation. 'What becomes of ab tho pins" has worried moro than ono statistician. "What bo comcs of all tho school books?" Aro thoy handed down from generation to S[operation until thoy aro no longer lit or uso? Some book stores mako a "nico thing" by buying school books from tho chihlron at tho oloso of tho year and soil ing t hem at a profit in tho fall. In great many schools it is a part of school disciplino lo roquiro tho books to bo kept neat and lit for succeeding classes. Hut wbilo thoro aro numbers of ways | which aro used to cut down tho annual outlay, the expense of buying now school books is, novortholcss, enormous. Last year thoro woro 27:1,510 children in tho public schools of tho Stato. If each child used four books and if each book cost 25 cents tho total amount repre sented in text books in uso in tho State was $27:5,010. This is a low cstitnato. Among tho rules adopted in connec tion with tho adoption of tho text books was one stipulating that tho contract prico of tho same books must novor bo lower In any other Stato than in South Carolina, and that tho books must bo sold at a uniform price throughout tho Stato, and tho prico must bo printed in tho hacks of books. Tho prices aro somewhat lower, it is said, than obtained under tho former adoption, but thoro was quito a change in Bomo of tho fundamental branches of study which is as yet experimental. Tho readers rango in prico from couts for the First reader to 18 couts for tho Fifth ; spelling books from 13 to couts; grammars, from 32 to 18 cents; histories, 10 to OS couts; South Carolin! history, 00 cents; geographies, 31 to 00 couts; physiologies, 22 to 80 cents; copy books, 'IS to 00 cents 0 dosi?li, and so on through tho list of text books. This adoption was not of full effect until to-day, tho Stato Hoard having con tracted to merely recommend and urge tlio teachers to uso them after November 1, 1000, tho resolution reading: "That up to duly 1, I1KI1, tho said books need not be introduced oxcept where tho teachers and trustees deem their introduction feasible and desirable. Tho adoption lasts until July 1, 1000, five years, and, as staled before, no pay warrant shall be issued to any teacher wdio usos in thc public schools of this Stale any text books other than thoso named in tho adoption.' " There aro, however, a number of spe cial school districts which aro not bound by this adoption. Hie charters of said districts delegating that power to tho local boaids of trustees. This is the case with most of tho graded schools in towns and cities. Tho selection of books by tho Stnto ! Hoard was made with a view to adapt tho changes to the schools in rural dis tricts particularly. Tho now adoption provides that pub lishers cannot decline io accept in ex change books now used in tho schools. There is a moderate difToronco in tho price. For instance, a Second reader, costing 21 cents, may bo obtained for 10 couts in cash and an old reader given in exchange. Tho following figures, showing the number of pupils studying the various branches of instruction in tho public schools will indicate tho extent to which this adoption affects thc State financially and otherwise: White.
