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

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.

COMMKRC'E,
Kvor sinco tho foundation of the civ

conducted their warlike expedltio
against other nations either thron;
pitre lovo of conquest, or from motives

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

It has caused a corresponding increase

It ts n happy condition which benefits all

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

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.

Porto Hioans prefer rancid butter to

people havo to import butter and
keep it a considerable time without

tho rancid material. This has been

SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS ADOPTION IN FORCE.
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:
