D- C SCHOOL BOOKS. It is hard to predict what will come up before the General As sembly for its consideration, but there is one matter, in our judg ment, worthy of much thought and in the coming session there should be a way found that would compel the graded schools of this State to use text-books adopted by the State Board of Education. The school book problem is one which has given the people much concern, and the law now requiring county superintendents to keep and sell books at cost was intended to be a saving to the people, but if the superintendents of graded schools are to be allowed to ig nore the State adoption and adopt books of their own choice, then the intention of the law is not carried out. As we under stand it, schools not in special school districts, or the ordinary country schools, must use the books adopted by the State Board, but in the special dis tricts they can use them or not, as their superintendents may de cide. This is not right-it is a discrimination which operates against those people who have expressed a willingness to pay an additional tax for educational facilities. The books adopted by the State can be bought at cost, and there is no doubt about it, thou sands of dollars are saved to the people. We contend, if the books adopted are good enough for a part of the children of the State, they certainly must be good enough for all, and we see so reason or justice in compell ing those who have burdened themselves with an additional tax to be deprived of the advan tages given those who depend solely on the three mill consti tutional tax for the maintenance of their schools. The school book concerns are traveling men all through this State to introduce books which were not adopted by the board, and in many instances they have succeeded in getting their books taken. What is the result of this? A book dealer,and not the county school officer handles the book and of course he makes a profit and possibly the teachers get a commission out of the sale. We are convinced that the peo ple have been systematically mulct, that superintendents and teachers of schools might make something "on the side" for themselves, and unless the Leg islature takes a hand in the mat ter and fixes it so that the book. adopted must be used by town as well as country schools, the educational revival in this State will be considerably checked. Now that politics is out of the way, the people should rejoice at the prospect of being able to get something else to discuss. We want to keep them reminded, that there is no law which forces the farmers of this country to hold up their hands and allow the fertilizer trust to commit robbery, by charging extortion ate prices, and we want to warn people against that class of men who mix inferior grades athomne, to sell on credit. We have known of inferior fertilizers "mixed at home" which were sold on time for the price of first class goods that was little better than dirt. It is bad enough to be robbed by the Trust, but when the Trust thief makes grab and then turns you over to a fleecer at home, it is time the consumer open his eyes. We have no in terest in fertilizers whatever, but we know it to be a fact that their is no article of commerce used by the people which admits of more swindle than commercial fertilizer, and as tihe Trust has gotten control of this important article we are satisfied they will squeeze as much price out of it as tile people will submit ' to. The farmer can block the game of the Trust if he will, and he c'an also drive the little "mixer" out of the market. The way to to the analysis: this can be done without cost by sending a sample to the State chemist, and where a fertilizer does not come up to the grade purchased, refuse to pay and prosecute. Then again: stand together and if the Trust undertakes to extort. boycott it and let it keep the stuff in its warehouses. The recent election was a vic tory for the Trusts, and we look for them to make' the people "pay the piper" if they can. STAE OF OUL.t CITY uF TOI.EDO'. LUxCAS COUNTY. FRANK J.

This church was organ ized in 1897, has a membership of about sixty, and has just re cently completed a neat and com fortable house of worship. The dedication of the new church was had Wednesday night before the association convened, and the sermon was preached by Rev. C. C. Brown, D. D. Rev. J. Walter Kenny is the pastor of the church The association was organized Thursday morning by the elec tion of Col. T. V. Walsh as mod erator: Dr. C. C. Brown, clerk, and Mr. B. P. Cuttino, treasurer. The enrollment of delegates was small at the beginning, but be fore the meeting closed nineteen of the twenty-six churches com posing the body were represent ed. The introductory sermon was preached Thursday night by Rev. J. D. Huggins. The church was crowded and he preached a most excellent sermon, After the sermon the association was convened, and Rev. M. A. Con nors, of Summerton, gave a talk on Foreign Missions. Friday was a busy day. After devotional exercises conducted by Rev. A. E. Crane, the new pastor of the Camden Baptist church, and some miscellaneous subjects, the subject of Foreign Missions was again taken up and discussed by Rev. J. B. Crouch, who submitted a brief report. The report on the Orphanage was read by Rev. Alan Pressley Wilson. of Bishopville, and speeches were made by Capt. D. J. Bradham, of Manning, one of the trustees, and by Rev. C. D. Peterson. The association sus pended its rule against taking collections and a contribbtion of sixteen dollars was made to the institution. The subject of Temperance was reported on by Rev. J. W. Davis, and remarks were made on it by Messrs. Bradham, Huggins and Davis. The report on Sunday schools was submnitted by Rev. A. P. Wilson, and was discussed by Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Goodall and others. The first speaker urged the importance of supplying the schools with the best helps and appliances, and the necessity, of the most thorough preparation of teachers, while Mrs. Goodall's remarks had special reference to the work in the infant depart ment. Following this discussion Dr. C. C. Brown gave a good talk on China, and the mission work of the Baptist church in that coun try, using a map on which the mission stations were marked. Friday night was devoted to State missions, and the report submitted by Mr. B. P. Cuttino, of this city. The report stated that over six hundred dollars had been already contributed during the present convention year, this being more than was apportioned to the association. Thus far the Santee is ahead of all the other associations in this matter. -Saturday morning the associa tion was opened with devotional exercises conducted by Rev. A. P. Wilson. After miscellaneous business the report on the state of the churches was read by Rev. M. A. Connors. There are 26 churches in the body, reports from-19 of the number show con tributions in the aggregate of $13,349.95 against $9,221.10 last year: an increase of $4,328.85. This report brought out some good speeches from Messrs. Con nors, Brown, Huggins and Gough, The latter dwelling with emphasis on the importance of discipline in the churches. The aged Minister's then came in for consideration. The report was read by Rev. J. W. Kenny, and states that there are now 35 beneficiaries. ~Dr. Brown spoke to the report and said that there are 300 good women in the State who are helping him to take care of these wards. He begun the work just ten years ago. The first year he raised $280, this year he hopes to get $2,800. The association again suspended its rule against taking collections, and allowed the brethren to make a contribution to the old preach The report on obituaries was read and some tender words were spoken by Rev's.

The mis sionary sermon was preached Sunday morning by Rev. J. O. Gough. Some of the reports from the churches of the association were very fine. The Manning church, Rev. John O. Gough, pastor, has a membership of 223, and during the year raised $3,359.08. Of this sum State Missions, receiv $284.91; Home Missions, $27.33: Foreign Missions, $31.55; Gospel Missions, $269.40: Education, $429.30; Orphanage, $258.04; Aged Ministers, $54.46: the re mainder going to pastor's salary, home expenses, etc. The Sumter church also made an excellent report. It has a membership of 303, and raised during the year $5,090.42, which was distributed as follows: Pas tor's salary aad home expenses, $1,301.83; State Missions, $133. 19; Home Missions, $205.65; For eign Missions, $133.06; Orphan age, $74.92; Aged Ministers, $80.75; Education, $25: miscella neous, $3,141.22. The last item was for the new church building fund. Calvary and Summerton churches constitute the field of Rev. M. A. Connors, and under his wise leadership both churches are making substantial progress. The Summerton church raised during the year $989.30; and all but $430.00 went to benevolent purposes. The Calvary church raised $562.65, and of this amount $172.65 was for benevolence. Sumter Herald, Nov. 9. A Village Blacksmith Saved His ILittle Son's Life. Mr. H. H.

My friend, are you one who has carelessly allowed yourself to drift from here and there and then fall in where you happn to see something you want? Are you one of the kind that go to the wrong pace because you did not know the better place? Do you trade with " Bud Smth" or "Son Williams" just be cause you have known him, or because you came froni the same place and were reared up together? Do you trade with "Cousin Jim" because he is "kin " to vou? Or "U~ncle Bill" because you have always traded with him and didn't know the price of the same goods at other places? Is this your case, my friend? If this is the way you trade, my friend, let me advise you to come to our store, where the Tree of Bargains grows, and They Are Ripe Now. Have you any regard for your pocket-book or for the beginning or contin uance of your happy domestic relations?
