He received an urgent call from the people of Mayesville, togetier with a petition signed by nearly all of its citizens and the surrounding country.

He is a staunch and worthy citizen, and one that will add lustre to sny com munity. Clarendon county, as well as Summerton, shares in this loss R. B. Loryea has the agency for Geo. Garrow's Home Made Candies. Try them. In conversation with one of the mem bers of the State Medical Board, who was returning. home from a recent session of the board, we learned that the examination of the applicants was very rigid, and that several had failed to pass. In speaking of Messrs. George L. Dickson and Clarendon W. Barron, who were applicants, this gentleman told us that these two youang men not only succeeded in passing, but their examination showed them to have been hard students, and deserving of special me.tion. Of course this is grati fying to us. as both of these young men aie of this town and aie rated by the com munity as gentlemen of high character, and we feel that we are but voicing the senti ments of the people in wishing for them a long and successful career in their high and noble calling. Our farmers have at last woke u:> to the idea that it takes something else besides cotton to make a living these days, and the more progressive of them are diversi fying their crops and trying various ex periments to ri I themselves of the effects of "gold cholera." Mr. J. Forman Brad ham,. a young and wide-awake farmer living a few miles from this place, brought to our office last Saturday three samples of wool of as fine a quality as we ever saw, and, we believe, as fine as was ever raised anywhere. One sample was from a thor enghbaed :merino back, from which~ he clipped nineteen pounds ; another was from a three-quarter merino ew e, fron which he clipped ten and a half pounds, and the other was two and a half paund~s from a scrub. Here i5 a record that our farmers -hould consider, and then ask themselves whleh pays best--to raise sheep or to raise dogs ?

A petition is being circulated among the tax-payers of Manning and Manning townshipi requesting the township board of trustees to advertise for a meeting of 'the taxpayers of said township for the purpose of considering the establishment of a sys tem of graded schools for Man~ning. So far as the spirit of the enterprise up to date is concerned, there seems to be no ob stacles in the way for a successful issue. There is nothing that will contribute more to the building up of any place than a first-class school, and of all kinds of schools, graded schools have been the most successful. Just go to any town that has been enjoying graded school privileges, and you will find the people's pride cen tered in that institution. The advantages of such a system are so apparent to most people, that it needs but little argument to convince any of the importance an d benefits to be derived from it. Whenever and wherever there is any opposite feeling, it results from a misapprehension of how a graded school works. A graded school means a school supported either wholly by taxation, or to such a large extent that only a small supplement will aid in completing the necessary funds. Such a supplement is raised by charging moderate tuition rates after the pupils have been advanced beyond a certain grade. It is believed that a large majority of the citizens of Manning and vicinity are highly in favor of such a system. As evidence of this, many do not expect any direct returns from such an institution are heartily in favor of it. An extra two mills tatx will only increase an individual's tax S2 who ownis one thousand dollars worth of prop erty. Tuition rates in the average school ranges from one to four dollars per month -multiply this by ten and you have from ten to forty dollars annually to pay for one pupil, which at the extra tax of two mills would require from five to twenty thousand dollars worth of property. Any one will see by a little calculation for himself that the average person who sends to school, pays many imes as much for tuition as the increase of his taxes would be. It is un doubtedly of greatest benefit to the indi vidual of moderate means. If the largest tax-payers are patriotic enough to work for the success of this move, then no one else can afford not to. The average length of time in attendance at schools when they are supported by direct pay patronage we dare say will not average over five months; whereas, in graded schools they would at tend from eight to ten months. It is a great relief to knowv that you can send your' children to school an entire year without the worry and anxiety of being able to meet the mzonthly accounts as they fall due. You wouldl pay your tax at a time of the year in which you could best afford to do'so, and paying your tuition in this indirect way, you feel that you are Sgetting your service absolutely fiee. rA graded sch'ol combines the entire pat ronage, thus making one flourishing school --a school that gives prominence to the ,town and exerts a beneficial innluence upon Sthe entire community. It systemizes the a work by dividing the pupils into grades i or classes by which the teachers' work is 1 more of a specialty than when he has so i many of various stages of advanciment to 5 instruct. An illustration will help to make our ideas clearer. In a shoe factory each one does a special work, the practice mak ing him very skillful. None makes a pair "out and out," so in a graded school, pu pils are advanced from grade to grade, ac ,cording to the proficiency attained in the preceding one.

Father Phelan of St. Louis Openly Do nounced For Ills Slander. Asny, Park, N.

AS TO MIA 9,1 M AS O WAT r11IS DUE The Decline in Cotton From Mr. La Bovisse's Standpoint. PAPER THAT ATTRACTS ATTENTION Ho Takes Up the Quesicn of Ratio and Makes an Argument for the Rella bilitation of Silver as the Only Redemption. ATLANTA, April :;0.-The Constitution publishes thismorning. an able and ex haustive article on the decline in the price of cotton, from the pen of Mr. J. W. Laovissc. president of the New Orleans cotton exchange. Mr. La bovisse is one of the most prominent business men of this country and is an eminent authority on all matters per taining to cotton. Mr. Lalr vsse ad dresses himself particularly to Mr. Ed ward Atkinson's article in the April Forum or "The Battle of the Standards and the Fall of Prices." to show that the decline in the price of cotton is not due to cheaper production. The president of the New Orleans cotton exchange gives the total crop and the average' of cotton the world over since 1842. He shows that during a period of twelve years preceding the war between the states. the cotton crop of the world increased nearly S2 per cent and the average price advanced more than 50 per cent. This increase in price coupled with the largely in creased production, he attributes to the increased output of the mines of Cali fornia and Australia. Mr. LaBovisse contrasts with this period, the crop and prices of 1893 and '94. The crop of 1893 und '94, 11.009,000 bales, showed an in crease of nearly 73 per cent over the crop of 1859-6. The price during the later period c'clined 50 per cent. This fall in the price of cotton, he points out is due to the contraction in the volume of metallic legal tender money of the world. Mr. LaBovisse fails to see anything beneficent in the fall of prices of crops to the farmer when his mortgage has remained - stationary. He show that the price of gold is flat because the mints the world over are required to buy all gold offered at a fixed price. Mr. LaBovisse takes up the question of ratio and other points, making a clear and strong argument throughout for the reliabilitation of silver as a money of final redemption. The statistics which he presents are very complete and of exceptional value. The paper is one which will certainly attract much attention from the dis putants on both sides of the financial issue..
