Superintendent Martin leasee Im portant Letter to School Trustee a. Superlnttndent of Education O. B. Martin issued last week an important circular letter In regard to tbe pur chasing of books as follows: To County Superintendents of Educa tion: Gentlemen:--! desire to call your especial attention to section 25, page 31, Regulations of State Board, In School |Law. This section provides that: “No publio school supplies shall be purchased by school officers for use in tbe public schools of any county in tbe State except such as are authorized by tbe State board to be sold. ” It also requires that sellers of adopted supplies shall sign a con tract and that state board In conf< r- mity with the law, requires a suffi cient bond to protect the trustees and schools. Tbe contract states prices and requires samples to be 'filed and goods mustconform" to samples, etc. Tbe regQlatlon further provides that trustees may draw warrants ami tbe county superintendent may counter sign warrants for adopted supplies. The section doses as follows: “AH persons purchasing any such warrants before tbe same have been counter signed by tbe county superintendent of education, do so at their own risk. An agent cf the Union School Furn ishing Company, Chicago, stated be fore the state board Friday afternoon that his company “had been selling libraries in parts of this state for tbe last four years.” Now, of course, if tbe- people have bought them with private funds, 1 have nothing to A9m Y0KUGN 00TT0K. High PrleM Here Will Can** Coro- petition Iq Africa. . . . . »ay; but It is^lear that trustees and ctAin- _ , - , — ty superintondebto have no right to ^-oast - ofMAIrkaF cotton ktSproduced buy with public funds goods which are not adopted and for which no con tract has been signed and no bond given. In addition, I am reliably in formed that the Union School Pub lishing Company has been doing pi ratical work in otBer states and that even now the state of Tennessee has numerous lawsuits against said com pany for false representations and irregular work. - This company made a bid for the library, books and said bid was refused. Their books cost too much even if there were no other reasons for refusal. I trust-that you will guard these matters carefully, and see that no warrant is counter signed which is not in strict conform ity with the lap. Sincerely yours, O. B. Martin, Supt. Tbe Chicago Inter Ocean says on tbe day after raw cotton reached 18 cents on tbe New Orleans exchange King Edward opened the British Par liament with a speech containing this significant passage. The Insufficiency of the supply of raw hoaterial upon which tbe great cotton industry of this country de pends, has inspired me with deep con cern. I trust the efforts being made in various parts of my empire to in crease tbe area of cultivation will be attended with a large measure of suc cess. / There is an old saying derived from British political experience, that wbaf Lancashire thinks this year all Eng land will do next year. In the light of that saying the signficance of that speech from the ttrrone is apparent. Lancashire has been thinking as never before how to escape from bondage to American cotton, and tbe British government has resolved to do what It can to make Lancashire’s thinking effective. Nor are tbe Lancashire and other European cotton manufacturer- es without hope of escape. Thefre hre many regions whjob can grow totton and which will be,made to grow it if American delusions of tjhe last year as to cotton prices and X merican manipulations of those prices are per sisted In. Egypt offers a case in point. Fifty years ago the cotton plant was mere ly h curiosity of the pasha’s gardens there. The American civil war start .edjjpottorv culture, which has steadily increased. The present production is nearly 2,000,000 American bales and the equality is such that Ameri can mills pay 2 cents per pound mure for it than for the domestic product. Even with-the additions made by the Assouan dam the cotton area of Egypt proper is limited, but in Nubia and the Soudan are vast stretches, of river iaqds which can be made white with cotton i& a few years.*. Ou thg, west ^On the Right Track, ilie following article Is token from the Home and Farm, written by Mr. W. T. ’furrier, of Tennessee, in which be gives some good advice in tbe way of getting tbe best results ir^poultry raising: The poultry IndustryJn this fair Southland of ours is yet in its in fancy. ^ We do not know the pot ties of the wonderful UtCle n makes, the American hen. A great many things have been written about her, in most cases true, and yet the same things ought to be brought to the attention of all raisers of poultry. Every one has his favorite breed, and it should be that way; yet all breeds are profitable If properly housed and cared for. That is where the trouble begins. The farmers in the South could make great advance ments, get-thoroughbred stock, bouse them propeiy, and give them the at tention thai they give the cows,,pigs, sheep and horses. So many of our good farmers think that “tbe chick ens” are just “for the women folks,” in the way, - and tolerated because they are here. Tbe ben picks up what „ she can during ^ tbe months, sits on the fence or in some friendly tree all night, and is expect ed to shell tbe eggs out just tbe same, or she is‘ a' dead expense. Well, my good farmer friend, suppose you give your cows the same treatment and see if you get plenty of milk and but ter, or your bogs, etc. Build you a modest bouse ter your chickens.of lumber that is going to waste, make it warm, hub it nee d n °t beexpen- .Uive: keep it clean, hTave plenty ‘of which compares with the lower grade American. Both Germany and France are encouraging cotton planting in their African possessions. The little island of Barbodoes pro duced 20,000 bales of cotton last year and expects to make 100,000 within three years. Considerable cotton is grown in the Crimea and elsewhere about the Black sea- India is grow- teg-cotton, and several South A merit can countries are beginning to grow it. in fact, "tbe tropical and semi- tropical zones clear around the world are full of possible cotton lands. “Natural causes” had something to do with the recent high prices which are so stimulating the extension of cotton culture outside of the United States. That other causes by do means “natural” operated is provided by the simple fact that when the managers of the recent speculation finally let go prices went off 4 cents in four days. T •. ' The recent successful manipulation of the cotton crop may have given the South “money to burn,” but there is the very-serious danger that «uch burning may prove a playing with the tire that will consume the South in a few years in the conflagration of a world wide oyerproduction of cotton ?.¥ Denness.

Adams, in charge of engine 418, used at DIUon and neigh boring towns for shifting purposes, came near losing hie life Wednesday afternoon by the breaking of the con nectlng rod of tbe right driving wheels. The engine was running at about 30 miles an hour when the acci dent occurred. The longer portion of the broken rod was left on tbe crank Qf the wheel Immediately under tbe cab. With tetanic force this huge flail-lUce bar of steel began Its work of demoli tion as the wheel flew around with lightning speed, reducing to atoms all the heavy castings of the engine and cab that, jt came in contact with, bending and twisting the wrought iron pipes and bars, knocking out the base of tbe air pump from which poured volumes of steam and hot wa ter. The former completely envelop ing everything in the cab so that the fireman, whose poet was on the oppo site side of the cab, could see neither the engineer nor conductor, both of whom were on the same seat. So he dashed himself through the window to the running board and leaped to the ground. When the engine stopped for waut of steam it was found tbe engineer bad a badly sprained ankle, his injuries otherwise being very slight. How he escaped being pound ed to pulp is 'impossible to conceive. i ..i ■■in l ■— i.i.i mm ' open* C**e ofBeMt*. Alfred J. F.

He has been traveling with circuses for the past 30 years, so he stated Wednesday. - Two Fair Example*. “Those two negro men are fair ex amples of what diversified fanning will do for the people of the soqtli,” said A. B. Saxon, of thafirm of A. B. Saxon & Bro., Augusta, Ga., Wednes day morning, pointing to Henry Jef ferson and Butler Gooding, who re side near Edgefield, H5r-C. The two negroes bought each a load of country cured hams to the city and disposed of them at handsome prices. 1J was simply the surplus crop of winter’s meat raised at home, and above what will be necessary to carry them through the next crop-raising season. Mr. Saxon verified their statement that they raise everything at .home needed, meats, grains,,stock feed and garden truck. They are well to do, both own farms free of debt, and from season to season never go In dSCTTof supplies. The only thing they buy in the city is clothing, shoes, coffee, su gar and smaller articles which cannot be successfully raised in this climate. Phil Evans, a third negro from the same district, brought in a bale of cptton, sold It at 15 1-2 cents, and in- -vested it in provisions. “The coun try would be a hundretLtimes better off if every farmer, white and black, would pattern after Jefferson and Gooding,” said Mr. Saxon, as the two negroes drove towards the bridge.
