BOOKS IDOPim 3TEXT BOOKS TO BE USED IN THE SCHOOLS. tfusiness Was Divided Out Among Several Houses?Many Hew Books Selected. The State board of education last week completed the adoption of text books to be used In the public schools of the State for the next five years. It is said that the list selected will com pare quite favorably with tha book adoptions in other States, and It. Is also claimed that this is the test list which South Carolina has had. There has always been more or less of a difference between the books used in the public schools in the country and those used in the graded schools, but many of these differences have been eliminated in this adoption and it is said that the list selected will do for any city school in the State. Governor Hey ward presided at the meeting and State Superintendent Martin, by reason of his having been in the school work as a teacher and subsequently has been able to give go much time to the comparative study! of tbe merits of text books, offered j valuable suggestions. Tbe other members present, representing the congressional districts in the order named, were: W. K. T?te of Charles ton, J. E.- Boland of Blaokville, D. W. Daniel of Olernson College, A. G. Bembort of Wofford college, A. B. Banks of Lancaster, Hartwell M Ayer of Florence, and A. J. Tback ston of Orangeburg. The board adopted Dr. Henry Alex ander White's History of South Caro lina for the elementary grades and Col. J. J. Dargan's for the seventh and eighth grade?. Waddy Thomp son's general history of the United States was selected. Another book by a South Carolina author which was put on the list is Dr. D. D. Wal lace's book on civics. Under tbe new regulations made by the State board of education, there will be established in Columbia a cen tral depository for the handling of these text-books. This means that probably 8100,000 a year in new busi ness will be turned loose in Columbia. This has been going to Atlanta and to tbe publishers and it will be a great accommodation to the teachers in tbe State who may order from Columbia and get the books tbe same day or the following day. In tbe common school course, the best lot of readers was given to May nard, Merrill & Oo., whose ' Graded Literature Series," 1, 2 and 3, were adopted. B.

The body of Ben WalBb, an English man and itinerant cotton mill opera tive, who has been working at Colum bia, Winnsboro, Charlotte and other points, was found Friday in a swamp near the Assembly bridge in a badly decomposed state, though the man is said to have been seen alive as late as Trursday. Whether be was murdered or acci dentally drowned Is what is now puz zlitg the iUlcers. His body is covered with blue marks, but the physicians have so far discovered no other evi dence of foul play. His pockets were fcur;d turned out. Four men have been arrested pend ing investigation. These are John and Henry Green, of Columbia, and P De wltt and I. C. C-oucn, of Winnsooro, I all cotton mill operatives. The Greens and Diwltt were Been drunk with j Walso Thursday. Crouch's father Is Lswltt's brother-in-law Dev/ltt went to Winnsboro on the early train Friday, and Cxouoh says he told his idiatlves tbat a dead man's body might be found in the swamp near Columbia. Crouch came to Columbia Friday morning, after seMng Diwltt in Winnsboro. The Greens say they moved Walsh, in a hopelessly drunken condition, from under the bridge Tnursday and left him in the swamp to get him out of dccgar and out of sight of the po lise.

Gome, girls, and "snuggle" up'close to me while we have a heart-to-heart talk, for I expect to get as much as I give. I want to think of my girls, whether they are one year or ten or twenty, as opening flowers?some of them early spring beauties, others summer roses?all sweet and tender, and all needing love and care to de velop the best that is in them. Girls, dont be in a hurry to reach young ladyhood and the advantages you Imagine will be gained bv it. Do not rob yourself of the rosy flush of happy childhood. It will suon be over. You will put away with loving hands the playthings of your child hood. How fleeting are the years of childhood. As the years pass they bring with intelligence and experience, but take away the innocence 01 child hood. Girls, do you realize you are the rosebuds in the garden of life? You are the sweetest things that God or* ated. Your voices are like music?si unselfish and 8 fleet, so helpful and loving that sad hearts grow glad and sad faces brighten wherever you go. Love tuis youta that Gjd has given you, and forget not to thank Him for it. There are no skeletons in your cluset, no sorrowful memories to bring the tears to your eye. I hope you are all happy and cheer ful the<e bright spring days. While the birds arc building their hom^s in I bedges and tree tops '".rare filling tbe world with m--: iiusy from morning till night, they find time to sing. Don't wait till your work is done Co sing?sing and be happy and make others happy.' Yes, follow the bird's example and go slnglog to your work. Surely God wants us to be cheerfui and happy when He made this world so beautiful for us. Kind, cheerful people bring out the best that is in us, so that we can hardly help being good while we are under their influ ence. There is no sweeter music in1 our heavenly Father's ears than the Innocent song and laughter of his children, and no sweeter tribute could ever be made to the weary ones of earth than that which comes from the sparkling, Innocent soul of young girlhood. Girls, have all the pets you want, but don't keep any living thing in con finement. Don't have a sweet little songster beating its wings against tbe cage, nor a frolicsome tquirrel. Let them be free, happy and joyous lu their native element. A fellow-feel ing makes us wonderous kind. It has been eleven years since 3E walked tbe green earth, and the time seems long and dreary. I often long in the gla . springtime to get away into some deep tangled wlldwood and listen 11 the sweet songs of birds in joyious freedom as they flit from wee to tree I have learned l3ssons of patience and submission to the divine will. Ad never before I've learned the value of true friends, to appreciate more and more the love and friendship of pure minded Christian girls. How patient-1 ly and sweetly, with tender hands they ministered to me when the death angel seemed very near. None but God is sufficiently wise to understand the heart of Christian girls. They bring joy and peace to their horn?*. They are the'r mother's compan'ons and helperR, and their sweet influence brings much of beayen down to earth bv kpeping r.heir brothers' wandering feet in paths of safety. Surely the sheltering wings of che unseen ansrels must hover very near our sweet girls. God blew them and make us worthy of their tender devotion. Pure minded girls are not only blessings in tbelr homes. We meet with them on the highways and by ways. One of them came into my life as a ministering angel when I was far from fri?nd?. when I was bereft of all that made life worth living. But we were as ships passing and bailing ea-h other as we parsed. No girl can be pure and good without the world be ing the better for it and making h^r own heart haopler G^ bless ynu all and keep you well and happy, and remember you have the best wishes of AHNT SATXIK ON LiTTLE BOY Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts?Face Itched Most Fear fully?Hands Pinned Down to Prevent Scratching MIRACULOUS CURE BY C?TICURA REMEDIES " "When my little boy was six month* old, ho had eczema. The soreB extended bo quickly orer the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his checks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covsred with crusts as thick a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had fo pin his hands down: otherwiso he would scratch his face, and I think his face must Alfonso Homum make an open sore, have itched most fearfully. " We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wifo with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours I spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with | Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the | sickness had appeared it also began to dis- j appear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before." F.
