VOL. XLII. NO. 74 NEWBERRY, S. C.. TUESDAY JUNE 5, 1905. TWICE A WEEK. $1.50 YEAR TO REQUIRE SALARIES FOR BEER DISPENSERS MANDAMAS ASKED FROM THE SUPREME COURT. Motion Made Yesterday by John Gary Evans, Throu Charles E. Comma. Columbia, June 5.-Hon. John d7r Evans, through Chas. E. Commander, Esq., appeared before the state su preme court today asking for an or der of mandamas to compel the state board of control to pay the beer dis pensers of the state salaries instead of commission. This action was in line with the fight against the beer dispensaries of the state. which has been in progress for some time past, and which has been the subject of al most endless newspaper discussion. The motion was placed on the same ground on which the fight has been based all along. On account of the crowded condi tion of the docket the matter was postponed until the November tern* of the supreme court. Counsel who brought the motion also stated that they desired to push all the requirements of tihe state board. The Same One. Harper's Weekly. A young country minister who had been presented with a horse by a rich farmer parishioner rode the ani mal home to exhibit him to his father. The old gentleman studied the horse carefully and observed that he seemed very aged and infirm. "Well, father," said his son, "1 don't think you ought to complain of bim, even if he is old and feeble. It is a good deal better animal than our Saviour rode into Jerusalem nineteen hundred years ago." "I don't know, John," replied his father: "I think it's the same animal."

The following abstract will give some idea, however, of the prin ciples laid down, not only for the ed tication of our youth, but as applicable to all the great questions in which our people are interested: Mr. Smith spoke of the import ance and significance of such an oc casion in any community, an occa sion of triumph to painstaking teacher and faithful student; an occasion fraught with responsibility for every child, who shall soon learn that life is a preparation-that life is a mere span between two eternities-who shall learn that he is a laborer, a helper, and said that he had come to offer encouragement and that if he ight make one suggestion that shall prove of benefit to the educational success of our school, the education 11 success of the children in it, he will always be profoundly grateful for the opportunity of speaking that word of encouragement and help.

As the years come Lnd go childish things must more and nore pass away, the hand that once was so feeble becomes mighty and :apable of wielding the sceptre of mpire: the tongue that then could be ieard only in childish prattle becomes :apable of swaying the multitude by ts eloquence. When this principle )f continuous progress is applied to he moral and intellectual nature, :here we have the definition of edu :ation in i:s highest sense. The speaker then announced his heme, some of the fatal tendencies of he times in education and some of he problems to be solved. with the neans of their solution.
