Columbia, Special.-The Chamber
or Commerce is progressing rapidly
With preparation# for fair week. The
j'outraet for#iring for street light*

Eltctiic company. The arrangement*
to to street lighting will be different
this year in that the material .put up

('bomber of Commerce to present
theii full capacity of lights and an
equal number of lights will be in
stalled at the side shows by the
Chamber of Commerce in addition to
the ones used by the eat nival.
Fun, But Not Rowdyism.,
The Johnny .1. Jones Carnival/ COWM
pany has arranged for the Street
shows. Police will not permit
olfce sale of whips, rubber balls, coft- j
fctti, etc., and will rigidly enforce
the ordinance against the practice' of
throwing these things around the
city. Every show that will bo pre
sented is represented as a high class
attraction and no objectionable shows
will bo offered. \
t.Tlio Chamber of Commerce
*|tL nnf pi-nut (om-esMonst to any one ex
cept with the express understanding
that, there can be none^of the ob
jectionable features. The idea of tho
committee having this matter in
'< charge is that t lie fair shall be full
of life and ginger with rowdinesa
eliminated.
?Id Nicholas Malclier, a veteran
of many fairs, will have charge of
the water supply. Barrels will be
~ ' placed at the corners on Main! street
and ice water can be had' by all de
Biting it. The barrels have been
scalded and painted and are in read
iness to till the functions required
; ? cf thriii. The city has granted JJia,
Pp use* of the water. ' '
Capt. H.J. Person, Jr., wb? can be
found at the tt.-C. Electric company,
three doors from the transfer aiu
tlons, In charge of the information
' V.*? perfected arrange
ments for handling the otowds. Mr.
Person in addition to his experience
. and ability, is a West Point 'gradu
ate and ex-aimv ofttecr and by rear
son of his military training, being
well versed in matters of discipline,
Is thought to he an ideal man for
tho position he holds.
v The Jonny J. Jones Carnival com
pany hns nine shows and is the best
carnival that has ever exhibited in
Columbia. The management has just
secured a new show. ' ' A Trip f^pm
Kew York to the North Pole, which
is an entirely new production and
will probably show fpr the first tlmo
TJ" "t with* the carnival when they open
" tjieir engagement In Columbia.
They have an animal show tbat-}8
pronounced the best ever seen in Co
lumbia, and a new trainer, who ia
row in charge of the animals, has
few superiors in the animal business,
And is no doubt the best with any
carnival company. Tina company la
?l?o under contract to secure six
ptfcer high elflps shows and tbey must
he stellar attractions.
The band with the carnival waa in
rT- minmbia last vear and gave thorough
^ sanction. It consists of 10 places
and li all-Italian band. It ,will
jive street concerts in the a't5r???n

Report oq Tobacco.
Columbia, Special. ? Commissioner
Watson has received a summary of
the tobacco situation In this tSate,
prepared specially for the depait*
ment by Hartwell M. Ayer, aa fol
lows:
44 Amount produced In 1008, 24,000,
000 to 25,000.000 pounds.
"Of this 75 per cent is bought l>y
the American Tobacco Company and
the Imperial Company. The former's
grades consist of cigarette and granu
lators (for smoking) and wrappers 1
for American trade.
"The latter company's grades con
stat of cigarette and plug tobaccos,
which are all shipped to England.
"We have a very small per cent of
twist and plug tobaccos grown in cur
State. We have about 20 per cent,
of a crop of semi-bright strips that
are shipped to European markets,
mainly to England by indendent buy
ers. The. remainder, 6 per cent of
the cro^: consists of scrap tobacco*
that are manufactured b vtho Ameri
can' trade into smoking tobaccos. The.
independents buy from ten to fifteen
per cent, of the crop of wrappers
American trade; principally shipped
West. This is as near the informa
tion as va can give it. as all tobacco
are manufactured in Virginia and the
West. What per cent of our grades
and kinds goes into the different out

Chang* of Traohcir*,*? The frequent
shangepf teachers is a constant break
snd clog in the progress of (ho
sehoOls. It robs then of auytbing ilke
An unbroken courts of work and Ax
adpess of policy. Every new teacher
introduces seme new feature into the
work of the tschcol ? perhaps a good
feature in itself, yet no better thnn
what it displaces. It requires read
justment to install anything new, end
the time and friction arc a lost*, unless
the change is decidedly for better.
(Jenenjlly speaking, our bent school*
aro I hose which have tho fewest
changes in the teaching force. It re
quires ut Jeast one lull session for a
teacher to occome acquainted with his
patrons. JJy " becoming acquainted
with patrqns for more than mero so
cial knowledge of them. I mean an
appreciation of tho tastes and their
ideals and their ambitions, and a
knowledge of their peculiarities, if
you pleaae. Until lie understands
these ho is not in a position to serve
them and to lead tljem, and a teaehcr
vvlio can not lead is of but little force.
Not until after a teacher has tauxht
from four to six years in a commun
ity Is ho prepared to give it his bust
services. Yet how few ? teachers re
main in one schcol three years.
Some places change teachers every
year simply because they have acquir
ed the habit of doing so. Like any
other bad habit, this one grows upon
people. The trustees. and the patrons
frequently realize, that their school is
far inferior to eome other school, and
rush to the conclusion that they need
-a-chengo-of t<<a<4**ig^ wluui ilm tuiljj.
is that they have alrradv injured their
school by too many changes. Have
anyof my readers ever seen a pupil,
or an entire class set to work in the
same place, in arithmetic for in
stance, at the beginning of each of
three successive sessions ? each time
by a new teacher f Is it probable
that this would have been done by
any. one* reasonable tcachen teaching
the .school the three sessions?
This evil of change reip-ns in the
town and country schools alike. I have
in mind one Ipwn'in this State which
had 'six principals in eight yeors.
Change was tho only remedy it knew,
and it believed in heroic doses., A
great many rural schools rarely have
'ho same teacher two years in suc
cession. Many of these chunks, in
both town and country schools, are
due to the neighborhood jealousies
and quarrels already discussed. Manv
a community has its chronic critics
of the school*, who are dyspeptic by
nature and soup, by liabit. A teacher
never satisfies7 them longer than one
year. They know all about schools,
and their own children are paragons
of perfection. If any teacher finds
one of these children anything but a
paraxon, stratehtwav thcro is trouble.
To listen to these disgruntled fatliern
and mothers with their tales of woo
requires patience and grace. In their
eyes there is but one remedy ? change
teachers. Not two months ago I
heard a man not for from sixty ycari
of age declare that he intended to
"break up" tho only school in his
district, unless the trustees dis
missed the present teacher . It had
never occured to him that perliap*
the trustees were in the right. Such
a man is in a small way on anarbeJst.
In some instances fault finding and
dissatisfaction are unwittingly ' en.
eouraeed by the board of trustees.
The board, either ignorant of it*
function or disposed to dodge an un
pleasant duty, asks the patrons to
elect the teacher. Such a course is
an invitation to division and tho dis
appointment consequent to defeat,
and will inevitsbiv bring about dis
cord. What is the board apnointcd
for, if not to manage the sclicol by
lessoning the occasions for discord t
A good many towni make it a rule
to employ only young inexperienced
teachers, and at the end of each
year drop those who , have failed,
keeping the moro successful ones un
til they have become really service
able, ineo let them go because the
trustees and the people are nnwill
ing to pay for good teaching at par
value. Somo places boast that their
schools are the gatewy to the promo
tion of their teachers. This may be
a eredit to the school, and a discredit
to the people. ? It is not creditable,
if the people are simply letting effi
cient teachers pass out: from their
schools in exchange for crude, inex
perience, because the latter is cheap.
A few town school boards aro
given to tho indefensible habit of
advertising every year for applicants
for position in the School, when the
board does not intend to elect a single
new teacher. The king who marched
his army up th? *htl^~tlren "marched
it down again, did no more childish
thing than these boards do. The
thing is not only indefensible, but it
is hurtful to the school, unjust to the
teaehers and diahonest to possible ap
plicants. What meaning does such
advertisement cenvey ip every t?acb
?f in that school, a? matter how cf.
foie&t cho may bof Whan the teach
ers ask for ita meaning, they sr*
told that it is aftly a matter of form,
and tbat they need not, be concerned.

I'ahic would be dishonorable. If a
school hoard wishe* to change teach
ers for r? n v l< Vitiinate reason, it has
a perfoet loyal ami moral right to do
so. Hut the change ibdulH be made
in a manly straight forward manner.
Let (ho boar-1 frankly tell the teacher
not to ask for re-election, de^laro a
vacancy, then advertise for ? appli
cations? if that is the beat way to
secure teachers.
Tcachers themselves must bear
their part of the responsibility for so
many changes. There are some teach*
era who ought not to expcot any
school to keep them loader than one
year. The captious (sometimes mis
called spirited,) the eccentric, the
frivolous, the giddy, and the ignorant
ones jnuy expect to float about lik%?
driftwood. Then there are some
teacheis who have an incurable mania
for becoming birds of passage. I
once knew a teacher to resign her
work to po elsewhere on the ground

position threo years. Then thcro is
? hot <lass of i est lees mortals who
'ave more ambition than ability.
They apply every time they hear of
