The Census-A Suggestion to
Citizens.
The ceaBas enumerators are making good
progress and will complete the work in thie
city within the month. The only diffi
cuity they have met with is that they do not
find people at home wheo they first call aad
a second visit is necessary. In this connec?
tion it is suggested that those who are going
away for the sander should notify the enum?
erators so that they may call call at once and
obtain the information necessary. It is, of
coarse, to ba desired *bat every resident of |
the city be included in the census, bat unless !
the ioformation squired 13 obtained, it will
be impossible for the enumerators to include
those who are absent from the city. Mr. H.

adjacent to the stable, and forcing the

open. In the office there were a bicycle, a fine

I had the bonor of being foreman of the
best steamer in this city for about 8 yearsand

drivers I certainly would not let any one
else than the regular driver handle team, and
as for this touruameot the question baa never
been mentioned nor tbougnt of and your
letter was certainly a great surprise to me,
and if yon shocld hear it mentioned again
will you do us the favor to deny it.
I was in Fayeuevi.le and there was a com?

all wool a yard wide and daisie3. I hope it
was your company and that we shalt s-e you

STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION MEETS.
Resolution Passed as to the
Adoption of Books.
THE PLAN TO BS PURSUED.
Columbia, Jane 9-Yesterday ai
tercoon at 4 30 o'clock the State
board of education met in the office
of the State superintendent of edu?
cation It was the important meet?
ing preliminary to the adoption of
books for use in the public schools
for the next five years.
When the board was called to
order all the members were present
save Prof Cook, who came IQ shortly
afterwards
In the city were numerous repre?
sentatives of publishing houses from
all parts of the country.
Several matters of minor import?
ance were first taken up and passed
upon by the board.
An application from Allen unver
8ity to have its course of study in its
normai department approved, came
up and, on motion, was postponed
till a later meeting.
A letter from Mr II. G Sheridan,
asking for permission to offer to the
trustees for sale certain school sup
plies, was read Tbe matter was
j passed over, the ooard taking the
j ground that the sale of desks was
not under its jurisdiction
The board then reached the main
question before it which was the con
j 8ideration of a method of procedure
! ia the adoption of text books Vari
j ou8 phases of this complex question
! were discussed, after which Mr
j Knight offered the following r?solu
tion, which was adopted :
? Resolved, That the adoption of
I text books be made upon the princi?
ple of a single list, it being under
j stood that this resolution sha!! not
I prevent the use of different readers
as supplementary.
Gen C I. Walker appeared before
i the board At the recent Louisville
j convention of the United Confederate
! veterans, it was unanimosly resolved
j to commence an active agitation in
favor of the use in ail the schools of
j the 6outh of school books, especially
histories, which were fair and im?
partial.
Gen Walker waa appointed by Gen
Gordon, commander, and Gen S. D.
j Lee, chairman of the historical com
! mittee to undertake this very import
! ant work
Tbe proposition met with such
I general approval that the funds nee
! essary to commence the work were
j offered to Gen Walker before leaving
j Louisville He will devote himself
! exclusively to this work, giving up
j his position with the Walker, Evans
j & Cogswell company,
i The first opportunity of making
! any effective impression was present
j ed at the meeting of the State board
j of education.
Gov McSweerjey, chairman of the
i board, specially invited Gen Walker to
be present and address the board OD this
subject. He very forcibly aod eioqaeot
ly preseoted the subject to tho board
and irs members sbould be thoroughly
convinced that in tbe schools of Sooth
j Oaroiioa, oDly such histories ehould be
used cs do full justice to the Stato aod
she south. Gen Walker did not and
could not in fairoess admit aoy special
histories, but explained the principles
which should be characterize in tbe books
to be adopted aod urged that any not
so written, be not used io oar schools
! The Uoited Confederate Veterans
I represeot the largest body of the south?
ern people, associated, to see that
justice i? doDe the sooth aod while they
primarily represent the Confederate
war period, they are composed of repre
; sentative citizens of the whole south
aod their requests should have deep
consideration. Their action was
endorsed by the Sons of the Confeder?
acy assembled at Looisyille and tbe
rt'Ciuests cf these two great bodies
eh)old have great weight with tbe
fohooi authorities of this and other
Southern States.
Much injustice is done in many
school histories, to the south also in its
aoti bellum history and the veterans
are aoxious that all such blots be
removed for the teaching of 'he rising
generation, who should be taught to
revere the graod heritage of glory
transmitted them by their forefathers.
Io the matter of text, book adoption
the following was adopted :
Resolved, That the chairman and
secretary ioscrt aD advertisement in
The American School Board Jouroal,
Tbe School Journal of New York aod
The New Koglaod Jouroal of Educa?
tion, stating that an adoption of a
single lisr- of sobool text books wiii be
made during the first week in Septem?
ber, and iovitiog correspondeDoe with a
view to making bids
It was also decided, upon motion of
Mr Raysor, that the committee on
course of study prepare a?d report to ;
the next meeting of the board tho '
outline of a course of 6tudy for the
public school?, which may serve as a 1
guide i ri determidiog what text-books 1
should bc udooted !
Oo morion of Mr Raysor, tho com- 1
mittee OD examirjatioo was authorized !
to prepare and promulgate the questions I
for the c> ming examioatioo. ! '<
Mr Baofcs made a motion that Mr 1
Rayor b-* delegated to iook into tho '
marier of the form of a contraot to bc

Presidential Troubles.
Washington, Juoe ll.-Tba admin?
istration is worrying over tbe oews
from Chica. Toe revolution of t'je
Boxers threatens to expoee Mr. McKio
ley's imperialistic programme concern?
ing China in advance of the Presiden?
tial election, which is just what he was j
ansious to avoid. In their anxiety to i
aliay public suspicion at home, mern- j
ber3 of the commission have been doing
some word juggling that would be
amusing if the matters were not too ?
serious to laugh about. For instance,
offioiai statements to the press from the
State Department have emphasized the
alleged instructions to our Minister at
Pekin, and to ?Rear Admiral Kempff,
our Daval commander io Chinese wa?
ters, to act in coocert with the Euro?
pean powers for the protection of
foreigners and their property but Dot
to join a combination of the powers for
any purpose. Our representatives over
there must be clever indeed if they can
act in coocert with the European pow?
ers without oombiniog with them.
A marked feature of the political
situation, is the geouioe scare of the
republican leaders over three states
which they have heretofore beeo claim?
ing as certain to cast their electoral
votes for McKinley. These states are
New York, Indiaoa and Illinois. In
New with Croker to look after greater
New York, and Hill to look after the
other portions of the State, pulling loy?
ally together, the republicans realize
that the State will be doubtful. In
Iodiaoa, the State ticket nominated by
the democrats, headed by John W.
Kern, is so strong that Iadiana Repub?
licans have notified thc leaders of the
party that the State is io danger. In
illinois, the tide has been running aoti
rcpublican for some time, aod appeals
for heip are beiog received io Wash?
ington. This scare ?3 so bad that
prominent republicans are saying that
is is useless to consider candidates from
other states for second place on the
McKinley ticket ; that be must be
taken from one of those three states,
aod mus? be a maa who will add
strength to the ticket. Mr. McKin?
ley ha3 gone out of his way to make
friends with Senator Mason, of Illinois,
who was anti-administration during the
receot session of Congress, and bas
succeeded in getting Mason to promise
to take the 6tump for bim. As Mason
isn't the 6ort of man who can be woo
over by jollying, it is iikely that he
has received some de?oite and iroo-clad
promises of future patronage.
The industrial commission, so-called,
has provided itself with a pleasant
summer jnoket, all of the expenses of
which wiii be paid by the "dear peo?
ple.7' It has decided that the indus?
trial conditions, principally flirtations
aod such, along the Northern Atlantic
coast, must be investigated during the
summer, and has arranged for meetiDgs
of the commission during the nex'
three months, in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and tbe New Eng?
land States. One of the first duties of
a democratic administration aod con?
gress will be to abolish the ropublicao
government commission humbug, which
bas become 60 rampaot and so expen?
sive under the McKioiey administra?
tion.
Chairman Payne of the house ways
aod means committee bas given away
the claim of the republicans tha? the
reason they did not reduce war taxe9 at
the recent session of coogress was their
desire to have the committee grant
bearings and study the question during
the recess, DO that the right sort of bill
providjog for the reduction might be
reported to the bouse, by the official
ao?ouncemeot that the committee
would not be called together until just
before congress meets. In other words,
the question of the reduction of war
taxes is to be left open until after eleo
tion in order that all the big interests
may be taxed for the republican cam?
paign fund.
Secretary Long has advertised for
bids for furnishing armor plate for
battleships uoder the cowardly law
forced through congress the last thing
before adjournment, makiog Mr Loog
do what the republicans of Coogress
were ashamed to do-agree to the prices
of armor set by the armor trust, which
will necessarily be the only bidder to
respond to the advertisement. True,
the law gives Mr. Long authority to
reject the bids if he considers the price
toohigb.aod to use the $4,000,000
carried by the act, for the establishment
of a government plant to make armor
plate, but if be acted upon that author
icy, the republican leaders who engi
neered the cowardly make-shift would
throw a few fits; they are figur?Dg on
a heavy campaign contribution from
the armor trust.
Mr McKinley and Geo E. S. Otis
have been exohaogiDg taffy. Mr
McKioiey has been telliog Otis that be
was ;he only real thi?g in the military
wayfproduced by the Philippine war
macy believe that Otis produced that
war-and that ho would have been
glad to have made him, instead of Miles, j
a lieuteoaot goneral, but congress 6xed !
it so that promotion had to go to Mile?; j
whiie Otis overjoyed at bis promo- |
tion to bo a major general bas been |
telling Mr McKinley that he is the j
greatest cf all presidents Outside of i
:be White House there has been no ;
ittempt to lionize Otis because of the j
prevalence of the opioioo that he has I

A Cotton Palace.
C^'The king ie dead, long live the
king.' Such is the cry in many a
foreign land when the head of gov?
ernment succumbs to the inevitable
and straightway a successor is raised
up And so it is in South Carolina
when King Cotton dies at the end oi
his yearly reign and the new crop is
estimated for planting. No sooner
bas the planter put his product on
the market than he begins to talk of
the next season and its possibilities,
and because cotton is king in this
fair iand there is reason in the decis?
ion that the central building in the
South Carolina Inter State and West
Indian Exposition, shall be "A Cot?
ton Palace/' therein to be shown the
strides in an hundred years for the
broadening of His domini?n and the
exploiting of His virtues Taking
the lesson from the little brown seed
to its furtherest product, the steps
made within the century will be
shown and who can doubt that the
pictures will prove both interesting
aud instructive ?
In "South Carolina its resources
and population" published by the
State Board of Agriculture in 1883,
occurs the following : "From an
early period numerous processes
were invented and practiced by '?he
people of Carolina in rendering raw
material suitable for business oses.
* * * South Carolina
was the first State to pay Eii Whitney
for the use of his invention in clean
; ing seed cotton The first water gin
was erected by Capt Kincaid on Mill
Creek, near Montecello, Fairfield
CouBty, in 1795. and for many years,
dating from 1801, the Boatwrights
of Columbia, were the great manufac?
turers of cotton gins for the south
Before and during the Revolution the
families of planters and their slaves
were clothed iu homespun made in
the State A factory weaving these
goods for the supply of the adjacent
country, was established some years
previous to 1790 by the Scotch
Irish settlers at Murray's Ferry's,
Williamsburg County, and Mr Benj
Waring in the latter prrt of the 18th
I century, had a cotton factory near
! Statesburg, for spinning and weaving
Manchester cotton stuffs "
From the story told above turu to
the picture presented by South Caro?
lina today, with the hum of the
cotton factory heard in nearly every
county and many mills producing the
high grades of goods. The mills are
consuming a great amount of the
staple produced and seem hungry for
more. Miils are equipped with every
improvement and accessory that hu
i man ingenuity cac devise. The indus
try has grown from a pigmy to giant
within the century, and its periods
of growth have been full of Interest
The old and the new will be shown
side by side at the exposition in
methods for planting and cultivation
of the staple, the machinery used
and manufactured goods
The Cotton Palace will be an j
object lesson that will surprise j
and instruct even those who are
deeply interested, for without study- !
ing the facts as they wili thus be
presented, it is impossible to realize
the wonderful, almost fabulous ad
vanees made

the following has recently been pub?
lished in the News and Courier.
"A suggestion has come from a
prominent cotton mili man regarding
the South Carolina Inter-State and
West Indian Exposition that is weil
worth exploiting and should meet
with hearty response from the cotton
manufacturers of the State. This
suggestion is to the effect that tue
'textile exhibit' should be taken up
by cotton mill men and made one of
the grandest features of the great
show. South Carolina bas good rea?
sons to be proud of her long strides
in manufactures, and the fact that
over a million spindles have been
added to the total employed in the
State within 18 months gives reason
enough for inviting the world to
come and see what has been done.
j "The plan outlined for the making
of this special exhibit by the manu
! factnrers has only gone eo far as
ways and means, and to raise the
money it would only be necessary
for each mill represented to put up
$500. The miil owner making the
proposition said that he could speak
for four mills in which he was inter?
ested. There are mills enough in
the State to insure a most creditable
building and a comprehensive dis?
play of their products if the amount
mentioned is appropriated by each
for this purpose."
The Capture of Gen Filar.
Washington, June 9-Geo McAr
thur bas cabled the following report of
the capture of Geo Pilar :
"Manila, June 9 -Native police
captured Gen Pio Dal Pilar this morn?
ing. He was found iorking in the
neighborhood of San Pedro Macati.
MacArthur.'*7
General Sohwan's estimate cf the
importance of the news ia contained in
this statement :
"The capture of Gen Pio Del Pilar,
cabled by Gen MacArthur this morn?
ing, is a most important one. Pilar
was regarded as ooo of the most active
i and uncompromising of the rebel
j chieftains. He succeeding in withdraw?
ing his troops to the mountains and
eluding the several columns that were
sent cut to destroy him. it was diffi?
cult to keep track of bia movements
and he frequently wa6 reported as being
at a number of places at the same time.
That bis capture has been effected bv
the native police of Manila, a body
numbering some four hundred, evi?
