The School Chart Scandal Columbia, S. C, March 18-So per I o tendent of Education McMahan bas done considerable work and been making general inquiry about the Evans school charts, about which much has already been said, Mr McMahan gave out the following statement to day : When I first came into office Mr. W. W. Tutwiler, the manager of this chart concern, came to see me and pleaded with me not to '.interfere" 0 with his business-just to "leave" bim alone "for thirty days longer" till he "could complete the ^canvass of the State and get out" He as sured me he would not bother us again for five years. This was urg ing me to postpone the-locking of ;he stable door until the horse was stoles. It had incidentally been a race with bim to complete the can vass before I came into office, fear ing, be said, "I might break up his business." It was perfectly clear in my mind that it could not be to the interest of any public school in South Carolina to buy any chart ever made, however *exceh*ent, at the price of $37 50. I "knew tbe cry of our people for ooger terms and better schools $37 50 means nearly two months of the school term ; $37 50 could pay the expenses of the teacher for three -sontos at a normal college-and since elected to this office I have - been wrestling with the problem of bow to provide for the better training of oar teachers, for the more efficient instruction of tbe children, believing, as 1 do, that, a good teacher means a good school, and that with thorough ly capable teachers the common schools can prepare fer life, or St for college, the children in even the most remote country districts. But whee I wish to supersede the teach ers' institutes, which lasted but a week, by a summer normal school in each county, to last lour weeks, teachers being required to attend, I . have been met on many sides with tbe objection that the teachers are - too poor to pay their board for a. month's study for a profession in which, our poverty causes them to be employed for a little more than three months and to earn only about 75 a jeer. I sm met further winn the * objection that the school fond is en tirely too small to admit of a provis ion by which the teachers might be reimbursed fer tbe expense of attend ance upon these titting schools-and yet $37 50 bas been spent in some instances by every school in a county to buy chart treating of arithmetic alone ; a chart, which a good teacher would not need, and a poor teacher could not use. If tbis money had Deen pot, not in a worthless chart bot in the education of the school teacher, the teacher would have in ber brain that which is better than a hundred charts, and, with this added newer that could result from the judicious expenditure of $37 50, . would present on a 75 cents black board, without any chart, much more intelligibly to the papils,the matteren this and ail other charts "We hear nothing in connection 1 with the schools so much as the com plaints of parents at the price of books It is even claimed that many children are prevented from attending school because of the inability of their parents to provide them with the necessary books. Why even some say that the schools' are beyond the reach of the poorer classes unless the State supplies to the children the textbooks. While many disspprove the principle of free books, yet the commonest argument against it is the expense to the taxpayers- $37 50 would have bought the books for the average cooofry schcol." Mr. McMahan goes on to say : "The progressive edooators of the State have long been discussing the reed of libraries in connection with tbe schools. They have talked and talked, and planoed and planned, but have never felt justified in expending the school food for this purpose. Mr. Mayfield'e last report shows as expended for libraries, $757 63, as agaiost $30, 659 91 for charts, etc-ao ir*a which" later figures bring op to about $60,000. Acjoog the objections I raised to Mr. Tutwiler agaiost the policy of permitting the further purchase of bis charts was this : " 37 50 would boy a splendid little library for a country school*'7-and what else will bring so mueb of brightness into the lives of children with active minde and homes bare of books ? I haye since learned of a ease where a board of trustees appro priated $30 for the beginning of a library, and this tittle sum (less than the price of one of these charts) brought to that sobool 6eveo ty -seven handsome volumes of tbe very best children's literature. "In order to be sure that I shoo id make no mistake in my treatment of tbis obart matter I graDted aa opportunity to Mr. Totwiier to set forth the merits of bis chart, and I secured the presence of Prof. Colcock, cf tbe department of mathematics, in the Sooth Carolina College, who was at ooe time coco ty superintendent of education in Charleston, and Prof. Patterson Wardlaw, of tbe department of peda- j gogy, who was formerly lor s long time I a recognized leader among the graded .school superintendents of the State, ario- Mr. McGhee, of the Colombia schools. After Mr. Tutwiler 7s exhib - tico" of bia chart for two hours and a buff these 'gentlemen agreed that,. while the chart could be used to advantage io some cases, jet it was preposter os for any school, eveo the 'richest, to boy it at- such a price as $37 30 ; they set its value as between 5 and $10, aod thought that at $10 the wisdom of its parchase, by tbe riohest graded school, is questionable, while the average ooootry school ooght cot to boy it aoy price. ..Mr. Totwiler is himself ao ioter estiog Bindy. I was impressed with the thought that if pluck, get-op and hustle were harnessed io the interest of true education io South Carolina there is no calculating what wonders we should see. I have beeo told that wheo ooe of these agents strike a town they hire boggies at $5 a day, and j get around among the trustees before the town gossips could locate their business or make sure that they were not whiskey spies ; that they tell the trastees more thao the trastees know about the amooot of money to the credit of their districts, and the amount to .come from the dispensary food, aboot the right of the trastees to draw warrants upon the school fond of next year or of year after next, if they are fearfol of curtailing their school fond now ; aod every agent is armed with a copy of the remarkable deoision of Assistant Attorney General Towosend obviating the statute which forbids the present expenditore of the taxes of future years. The evidence is that as soon as the warrants (which the agents carried around with th am in blank books) were signed by tbe trustees, who* were caught on the fly here and there and everywhere, the warrants were transferred to presumably ioooceot holders at large discooots, Totwiler gettiog bis profits and leaviog others to fight :'or the payment, of warrants where questions of illegality and fraod arose. The people pay for all this aod the school children safer for it. Lst this experieoce serve to teach the State a lesson in the management of schools io the fat are " Spam Will Protest to Civilized World.

Washington, March 20 - The war department to day received the following dispatch : San Juan, Paerto Rico, March 20.

The reports of fatalities io the county vary from six to 20 and macy more are said to have heeo in jured. At Sellers and Laverne, Ala , m ooh damage is reported and at Rob Roy, Ark., one mao was killed and several were badly injured. Dumas, Ark., was practically wiped ont of existence and several other towns in the vicinity suf fered severely. One person is reported killed at Hickory Flat, Miss., and as the farm houses io the vioinity suffered heavily, it is not unlikely thal many fatalities occurred which have not yet been reported. A TOWN WIPED OUT. Montgomery, Ala., March 18.-Cy clones passed over different portions of tbe State to day, but on accouot of the telegraph wires being down no partic ulars can be learned.

It is reported here that five were killed io one family. Telegraph wires are pros trated." The conquest of the Filipioos ia not a pleasant job for Americans to under take, but being undertaken, it is very Thoroughly carried out. The subjuga tion of these people is an unfortunate necessity, ted our troops are handling the work as it should be handled, in businesslike fasbioo, without effort at heroics. Gen. Otis is advanciog hie lines with precision, and the men are conducting themselves excellently. The Filipinos have beno driven back steadily and the American forces have progressed greatly, notwithciaodin the incredulous, or more properly, discrediting, headlines of our loeal morning contemporary -Charleston Post.

CUTTING OFF HEADS OF FILIPINOS DESIRING TO SURRENDER Manila, March 20.-Aguinaldo is aking extreme measures to suppress signs calculated to cause a cessation of hostilities. Twelve of his adherents to the plan of independence, residents of Manila, have been condemned to death because the}'wrote advisiog a surren der, and all loyal Filipinos have been called upon to perform a national ser vice in dispatching them. Friday last General Lagarda visited : Malolos for the purpose of advising Aguinaldo to quit.

Indications point to a considerable rise in tbe price of oranges iii New York and other markets throughout the country. Supplies are mostly from California, and are very iow at present Louisiana and Florida oranges are said to be out of tbe way, as the recent blizzard killed almost ail the orange buds oo the trees of these States Mexican oranges are not wanted and the Jamaica crop is all in, which, coupled with the fact that Valencias and Mediterranean are not to be bad in abuodanoe-and even if they were the tariff would not permit of their coming in io large quantities, that is, at prevailing prices-makes it apparent that higher prices will be the order of the day. THE WAR HAS ENDED. Gibraltar, March 18.-As the Uoi ted States cruiser Raleigh sailed from here for New York this afternoon bound from Manila in order to be put out of commission, she hoisted the Spanish ensign and fired a salute while she was passing the Spanish squadron commanded by Admiral Camara off Algeciras.

Judge Watts in Edgefield disa grees with Judge Benet on the pay ment of poll tax by a juryman being a prerequisite. His Mongoose Experience. .'Although I sold tickets in a red cits ons wagon for years," continued the dime museum man, "I was badly fooled once in an animal deal. I mean by this that I fooled myself. I got a letter from a collector, who wanted to know if I would buy a mongoose. I wrote back to have it shipped at once, and it was to be in the museum ready for exhibition one Monday morning. I had a rather hazy idea of what the beast looked like, but I was sore that it was something big, with tusks, and I told our artist to go ahead on that idea and spread him self. "He did. The picture he evolved would catch any one's eye at any range. He took a whole frame of canvas and painted for a background a tropical is land, with the mongoose chewing up sailors cn the shore. "The picture was finished Sunday, and I couldn't help but rub my hands when I looked at it. The moment it was hung out people flocked around it, and the early morning attendance Mon day was remarkable. The doors were opened before I got down, and as I went up stairs I could hear a subdued growl. " 'That's the mongoose,' I said to myself. 'The idiots haven't fed it.' "It wasn't the mongoose. It was the crowd growling like a Soma mob be hind the scenes. They had been lured by the picture, and when they got to the cage labeled 'Mongoose' they could not see the beast at'all. It had buried itself in the .straw.'.'.-Chicago Tribune. She Let Him O IT. One night Green came homo very late and found his wife evidently prepared to administer a Caudle lecturo. Instead of going to bed, he took a seat, and, resting his elbows cn his knees, seemed absorbed in grief, sighing heavily and uttering such exclamations as "Poor Watkins ! Poor fellow 1" Mrs. Green, moved by curiosity, said ! sharply, "What's the matter with Wat kins?" "Ah," said Green, "his wife is giv ing him fits just now." Mrs. Oreen let her husband off that time.-Liverpool Mercury. The Mad Poet's R*-T ri. Many stories are told of McDonald Oiarke, knowe 50 years ago in New York as the "Mad Poet," which show that he had a vein of great shrewdness, such as is often possessed by peop e who are counted insane. One day he was seated at a table in a New York hotel quietly eating his sim ple dinner when two young men took their seats at the same table. They were net gentlemen in the best sense of the word, an:! it occurred to them that they might have some sport with the poor poet. Consequently ene of them said in an unnecessarily.clear tone: "I have seen almost everything and everybody in New York except McDon ald Clarke. I have a great admiration for his poems, and I would give a great deal to see the man." When be paused, the mad poet leaned forward and said with evident gratifica tion: "Sir, I am McDonald Clarke, whom you say you wish to see." The young man stared at him with much rudeness for a moment, and then, drawing a quarter from his pocket, he laid it on the poet's plate, saying, "That's for the sight!" Clarke looked at the coin for an in stant, and then, placing it in his pocket, he took out a "York shilling," 16% cents. This he handed to the young man, saying gravely, "Children half price."-Youth's Companion. A Decidedly Xovel Claim. A claim once made on the explorer, Cameron, .in the neighborhood of Ga boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work ings of the native African's mind. Some of Cameron's possessions proved unduly attractive to a native, and he determined on transferring the owner ship to himself. He accordingly paid another native 200 to procure for him the coveted goods. The assistant took the money and did his best to earn it, but Mr. Cameron had perversely locked up the very arti sles that the fellow's employer had set his heart upon. The man could not car ry out his bargain, and neither did he feel that he could part with the money. Therefore he ran off with it. What more .logical than that the man who was the loser by 200 should expect the explorer to make the Joss good? This he assuredly did expect. He went to Mr. Cameron and told him the story, demanding in the first place the $200 which he, Cameron, by locking up his goods, had compelled the complainant to lose, and, secondly, the actual price of the goods themselves, which, but for these arbitrary measures, would now have been in his possession. It is not stated that his expectations were realized.-Watchman. Sterne's Destitution. Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the victim of the intensest poverty. A little time before his death, being in a state of destitution, he went one evening to borrow 5 from his friend Garrick. Upon arriving, he heard music ; and knew that a party was going on. "He heard the merry laughter, and, gently replacing the uplifted knocker, retraced his steps. We never feel our miseries so keenly as when contrasted with <the joys of others, and it is only then that we re alize Wordsworth's picture: And homeless near a thousand homes I stood And near a thousand tables pined for food. Another story of this writer does not evoke so much sympathy. It was known that Sterne used his wife very ill, and in talking with Garrick one day in fine sentimental style of conjugal love and fidelity he said, "The husband who be haves unkindly to his wifo deserves to have his house burn down over his head." "If you think so," said Garrick quietly, I Jvpa yours is well insured." A Blalay Sultan's Letter. In the cover there were three inclo sures-a formal letter of extreme polite ness, written by a scribe; secondly, a letter written in my friend's own hand; and thirdly, another paper, headed, "Hidden Secrets," written also in the sultan's own hand. At the top of the first page of the second letter is writ ten, "Our friendship is sealed in the inmost recesses of my heart." Then this, "I send this letter to my honored and renowned friend" (here follow my name, designs, ti cn and some conven tional compliments). The letter then continues: "Yoe, my dear friend, are never out of my thoughts, and they are always wishing you well. I hear that you are coming to see me, and for that reason my heart is exceedingly glad, as though the moon had fallen into my lap or I had been given a cluster of flowers grown in the garden called Benjerana Sri, wide opening under the influence of the sun's warm, rays." "CJnaddressed Letters," by Swetten ham. _ An Antenuptial Understanding:. "There is one question I want to ask you, dearest," said the beautiful girl as she toyed with the diamond ring cn her third finger. "When we are mar ried, will you expect me to bake my own bread?" "You can do as you like about it, darling," be replied, "but I certainly fchall insirf upon your not baking mine."-Chicago News. Makin? It Clear. Somebody has discovered that a Ber muda onion eaten raw will clear the head. A Bermuda onion eaten raw will clo more than that. It will clear an en tiro room. An active Bermuda oniou is a complete clearing house all by itself, j Take one Bermuda onion-only ono- ! and let the lips o beauty close upou it, and Jove will turn to hatred and honey to gall and bitterness. Clear tho head? Why, a Bermuda on ion in fairly good health will clear the j head of navigation !-Exchange. The Germans have introduced what amounts to slave labor in their east African colonies.
