Mr Eaddy lives near Cades and the dog, which belonged to a neighbor, came to his house and bit the little fellow, who was playiug in the yard. The dog was killed and decapitated, and on Monday evening the boy and the dog's head were taken to Pasteur Institute, Baltimore, Md., in order to have the head of the supposed rabid animal examined and in case expert diagnosis confirmed the fears ot the boy's parents, he will be [given the Pasteur treatment.

I ! is Copy Reaches Us A WATER WITCH ER. The Way an Expe-t With a Witch Hazel Bough Worked. It nv.y be that his errand was in the nature of a cheerful gamble after other resources failed, but the fact remains that Mr. Eastman was on thi* ground coiuppcu ior Business and ?I;:;t the train waited upon his investigations. His outfit was simple. A friend, acting as assistant ''witcher," carried a bundle of freshly cut witch hazel boughs, trimmed in V shaped branches, the leave uni buds still on them. The two men disembarked. Mr. Eastman, stout, conventional as to dress and looking as essentially practical as a veteran railroad man ought to appear, took one of the V shaped witch hazel boughs and tightly grasped the pliant ends in his two fists, holding the point or crotch upright. Thus equipped he moved sedately across the prairie. The witch hazel remained upright for perhaps fifty feet. The crowd traded in behind, vastly curious. Presently the bough began to turn or waver. The inverted V twisted slowly until it was parallel vith the earth or pointing straight out from the bearer. He slackened his gait and moved ahead, while the telltale bough moved slowly down until it was pointing toward the soil. Now the "water witcher" had it so grasped that it was twisting in his fists, and the tender bark along the pliant ends was beginning to break, showing that some force other than muscular effort was pulling the bough toward the earth. When it pointed straight down, he stopped and heeled a mark in the grass. Then he moved on, and very slow ly the branch began to rise until at length it had returned to the perpendicular in its original position. The vein-of water had been passed, and the witch hazel was no longer attracted-?From "A Water Witcher of Prairies," in Outing Magazine. f. 1 Lilts, | I Bill!, i i i t WE CAN SAVE YOU t t FROM 2 TO 10c ON I EVERY YTARD YOU j TJTTV TTRn\r T7S 1VF, i I HAVE ALL WIDTHS J AND THE LATEST } I PATTERNS AND j ! ^ I !.! 8 bm I [UiWiMHMj St The Bargain Specialist.: i Kingstree, j I S, Cj I I i . ! c / , ! j ( ; f , ' : J Ml ' -a St;.. ... by Tuesday, Noon, Pre coin moo schools j to iceivc state aid. I i STATE SU?f. MARTIN TELLS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND OTHER NEW EDUCATIONAL MEASURES. The Columbiii Suie contained rej cently the following interesting in; terview with State Snj-t. Martin r?i gariling the educational measures ! enacted oy the gener-.i assemoiy at tbe last session. He said, "There are several matters of gteat importance, but the most far-reaching one, as I see it. is the high school la*. . "This act provides that it may be lawful for any comity or lor any township or aggregation of townships, or for any aggregation of school districts or any incorporated town or city withiu the State with a population of not more than 1,000 at the last preceding United States census, to establish a high school. Under this provision it is quite like ly that in some eases we may have coonty high schools, in others towuship high schools, and others joint high schools coveriug an aggregation of towuships or districts. "A large town or city may not receive aid r.nder under this act as a - . - 1L i town or city, Dot it seems 10 me cnai it may do so as a part of the county, ' or as part of the township. This act allows as much as two mills cf additional taxation for high school purposes, and it also allows a high school district to float bonds for the erection of high school buildings. There is a provision that the State shall not aid any school more than 50 per cent < f the amount raised annually by tax.rio i, subscription or j otherwise. There is a's > a provision j that no school shall receive aid nn I less it has a least 25 children and ! two teachers in the high school ue I part-i ent, that is above the seventh g>ade, as the act defines if. "No one school shall receive 11 ire than $1,200 annually, and no conn tv shall receive more than 5 percent of the .*,0,000 appropriated. Every child mi the county where a high school is located is to receive free high school ti.Kiun. " The duty of putting this act into operation devolves rpon the State board of education, if the said State board of education can ----- i.:..k | succeed in worning wut i ue ui?u school problem under this act. it will certainly render a great service to the Suite and tin* high school ai t will probably be regarded :.s a very important piece of epoch-making legislation. Prof. Hand, of the University of South Carolina, and I expect to go to Chicago next week to the meeting of the department of superintendents of the National Ed ucution association. While there, we expect to confer with school office! s from all parts of the United States in regard to high schools. We also expect to visit some of the public high schools in that section of the country. "Another important educational act is the one to provide for the issuing of bouds m the public school districts of South Carolina. It is merelv a general bonding act containing all of the best feataies of the numerous local bonding acts which are introduced every year. | Hereafter it ivill he possible for any i district, under certain restrictions, to float bonds for the purpose of building and equipping school houses without the necessity of getting a (' special act through the legislature. In addition to being an advantage to ! the schools, this act will shorten the j legislative calendar and save an , enormous amount in printing each j,?r. 11 ' J** kt. ' > ceding Date of Issue. ' Representative Anil of Newberry . introduced a bill, which passed, to provide 41 scholarships in the textile * department at Clerason College, at ? the value of $100 each. It seems to m2 that this act ought to mean a -g great deal to the future of the textile industry of the S ate. Cotton mills have run in this Stite long enough cow to develop a lot of boys in the mills who are ambitions to become masters uf the business. I believe fsjgH the textile department at C'lemson, with the cooperation of the mill authorities, will accomplish a great deal for the future of the mill in- . dustrv on accouut of this act. "This act further provides for the manner of conducting Ctemson scholarship examinations. Hereafter the Clemson faculty, instead of the county boards of education, will examine the papers. .The county boards of edncation will condnct examinations and send numbers, bat not uaines, to the Clemson faculty, so the examinations will be conduct- \ p ed with absolnte impartiality. This provision covers all of the Clemson . /* scholarship examinations. i'nere are many muney reuicuje* but few that accomplish the result .

The teachers of Williamsburg county were very fortunate in x v-affl having Dr j l Mann, supenntendent of Hie Florence city schools with them at the last meeting- of their Association, :J held March 3, in the auditorium of the Kingstree Graded school. Dr Mann is an educator of no mean reputation, and a most cultured gentleman. No teacher worthy of the name who bad the pleasure of listening to his inspiring words as he unfoldedi t for his audience the true conception of the professional spirit which every teacher should possess, but felt that in devoting her life to the cause of. * education sne was entering a ' calling than which there^is no * nobler, than which there is noneXc which contains greater possibi- ' -.4 lities for the doing of good. It is to be hoped that the associa- ' ^9 tion can have Dr Mann at some Ag future meeting when circnm stances will be such tnat more of the teachers of the county can hear him. The bad condition of the roads owing to recent rains rendered it impracticable for many to attend. The at-, tendance of friends of education ''?|s in Kingstree was very gratifying, and they are cordially invited to be present at the next meeting of the Association four weeks hence, the last lor this school year. . Coughs and colds contracted at this season of the year should have immediate attention. BEE'S LAXA TIVE COUGH SYRUP, contains % Honey and Tar and is unequalled for hoarseness croup and coughs.
