Miss Bobo, she too, is to oe com mended and highly praised, for through the excellent work dis played by her pupils, it is an evi dent fact, that the work she has done in her department has been thorough and of the highest qual ity. The program that was given was well arranged and consisted of musical numbers, both vocal and instrumental, and readings. In the j ams piano solos, ducts and trios, the pu- j Readin? pils were well trained, for they kept good time, playing with much grace and ease. The choruses Hamilton were indeed pretty, for as the dif ferent voices blended, nothing but lovely melody could result. The readings, most of which were hum orous, added much variety to the program and these were well given.

Saturday evening was quite a happy occasion for the juniors and seniors, for with their friends they assembled at the school building. Why? Junior-senior reception. The first part of the evening was spent with “proms,” and it was quite a beautiful sight to see the young ladies, in their various col ored evening dresses, promenading with the young men on the side campus under the lovely oaks, where lights had been arranged to give a mellow glow. Often during these “proms,” the punch bowl was visited. It was arranged under a large oak, where several attrac tive young girls served punch to all who came.

Lowering the federal reserve dis count rate to 3 per cent in the New York district surprised all that lack advance information.

The late W. J. Bryan would be amazed to hear congress discussing tariff protection for silver. He thought silver, at sixteen to one, could stand forever as gold’s younger brother. He did not forsee Chinese wars re leasing Chinese silver hoards, or India stopping silver purchases that have stabilized silver mining for many generations. If it were not for moving pictures, with “silver screens” using tens of millions’ worth of silver yearly, more mines would close. Certainly American screens should use American silver, and the tariff should see to it. TAKEN UP—One hog, which ow can get by describing and p ing costs. J. W. Marshall, McC mick, S. C.

Everything is peaceful in Italy, where nobody is allowed to he radical. Italy has a dictator. N In Russia, reversing the theories of Karl Marx, and managed by extreme ly able men, the people are quiet, obedient. In Italy, where Karl Marx would not be publicly mentioned, a nation, naturally radical, is told that there has been too much talk about liberty, and people are obedient. The question is, how long? A Frenchman, falling from the twentieth story, is said to have re marked ns he passed the tenth floor: “It’s all right as long as it iasts.” How long will it last?

Thanks to science a ad prosperity, the death rate among wage-earners has diminished. Mr. Ecker’s statisti cal bureau shows a new low death rate of 9.4 per 1,000 during March. More adults that live, fewer babies that die. is a good program. It is said that the new tariff will cost the United States $1,000,000,000 a year. It will, probably, and un doubtedly that tariff contains many jobs, deals and mistakes. But If the tariff enables only r»,000.; 000 American workmen to earn $1.00 a day more than they would have earned without the tariff, that would repay the billion with a bonus of 50 per cent, to say nothing of added profit that would encourage business men to build up industry and national prosperity..
