NEGRO DRIVERS NOT BARRED In Inter-State Firemen's Tourna? ment, Wilmington, ... C. The report that hoee wagon companies having negro drivers would be ruled out of the Wilmington Firemen's Tournament, ij found to oe groundless, and the Sumter bose wegoo companies and the other companies in this State that have negro drivers need have no fear that they will be debarred from enter? ing the contest.

Resolution Passed as to the Adoption of Books. the plan to be pursued. Colombia, June 9?Yesterday af ternoou at 4 30 o'clock tbe t*tate board of education met in the office of the State superintendent of edu? cation It was tbe important meet? ing preliminary to the adoption of books for use in tbe public schools for the next five years. When the board was called to order all tbe members were present save Prof Cook, who came in shortly afterwards In the oity were numerous repre? sentatives of publishing booses from all parts of the country. Several mattere of minor import* ance were first taken up and passed upon by the board. An applioation from Allen unver sity to have its course of study in its normal depsrtment approved, came np and, on motion, was postponed till a later meeting. A letter from Mr II G Sheridan, asking for permission to offer to tbe trustees for sale certain school sup plies, wss resd The matter was passed over, tbe board taking the ground tbat the eale of desks was not under its jurisdiction The bosrd then reached the main question before it which was the con sideration of a method of procedure in the adoption of text books Vari? ous phases of this complex question were discussed, after which Mr Knight offered tbe following resolu tioo, which wss adopted : Resolv. . Tbst the adoption of text booka be made upon tbe princi? ple of a single list, it being under etood that tbis resolution shall not prevent the use of different readers as supplementary. Gen C I. Walker appeared before tbe board At tbe recent Louisville convention of the United Confederate veterans, it wss unanimosly resolved to commence an active agitation iu favor of the use in all tbe schools of the sooth of school books, especially histories, which were fair and im? partial. Gen Walker was appointed by Gen Gordon, commander, and Gen 3. j). Lee, chairman of the historical com? mittee to undertake this very import* sot work Tbe proposition met with such genersl approval that the funds neo essary to commence the work were offered to Gen Walker before leaving Louisville He will devote himself exclusively to tbis work, giving up his position with the Walker, Evans & Cogswell company. The first opportunity of makiog any effective impression was present ed at the meeting of the State board of education. Gov MoSweeoey, obairman of the board, specially iovited Gen Walker to be proseot aod address the board oo this eubjeot. He very forcibly and eloquent ly presented tbo subject to the board and its members should be thoroughly convinced tbat io tbe schools of South Carolina, ooly eooh histories should be used ss do full justice to tbe State aod ehe south. Gen Walker did not and could not in fairness admit any epeeial histories, but explained tbe prinoiplee srbioh ehould be ohsraoteriss in tbe books to be adopted and urged that any not so written, be not oeed io our sobools Tbe Uoited Confederate Veterans represent tbe largest body of the south ero people, associated, to see tbat juetioo is doos tbe sooth and while tbey primarily represent tbe Confederate war period, they are composed of repre sentative oitiiene of tbe whole couth aod their requests should have deep consideration. Their action wae endorsed by the Sone of tbe Coofeder* aoy assembled at L^aisrille aod tbe requests of these two great bodies 6b)uld have great weight with tbe fohool authorities of this aod other Southern States. Muoh injustioe is done in many eobool histories, to the south also in its anti bellum history and tbe veterane are anxious tbat all such blots be removed for tbo teaching of tbe rising generation, who eboold be taught to revere the graod heritage of glory transmitted them by their forefathers. Io tbe matter of text book adoption tbe following was adopted : Resolved, That the obairman and seoretary insert an advertisement io Tbe Amerioao Sobool Board Journal, Tbe Sobool Jourosl of New York and The New Eogland Journal of Educa? tion, stating tbst an adoption of a single liar of sohool text books will be msde during the first week in Septem? ber, and inviting correspondence with a view to making bids It was also deoided, upon motion of Mr Raysor, tbat tbe committee on course of study prepare aod report to the next meeting of tbo board the outline of a oourse of study for the public schools, whiob may servo as a guide io dctormtdiug what text-books should be adopted Oo motion of Mr llaysor, tbo oom mittee on examination was authorised to prepare and promulgate the questions for tbe ocmicg exsminstion. Mr Hanks made a motion tint Mr K iy ?r b ) delegated to look into tho matter of the form of a oontraot to be mado with tbe publishers and report to this board. This wss agroed to. Tbo board theo adjourned. Presidential Troubles. Washington, Jnne 11.?Tha admin? istration is worrying over tbe news from China The revolution of tbe Boxers threatens to expose Mr. MoXin ley'a imperialistic programme oonoern ing China in advance of the Presiden? tial election, whioh is just what ho was anxious to avoid. In their anxiety to allay public suspicion at home, mem? bers of the oommissioo have been doing some word juggling that would be amusing if the matters were not too serious to laugh about. For instance, offioial statements to tbe press from the State Department have emphasized tbe alleged instructions to our Minister at Pekin, and to [Rear Admiral Kempff, our naval commander ia Chinese wa? ters, to aot in concert with the Euro? pean powers for the protection of foreigners and their property but not to join a combination of the powers for any purpose Our representatives over there must be clever indeed if thoy eao aot in concert with the European pow? ers without oombioing with tbem. A marked feature of the political situation, is tbe genuine scare of tbe republican Isadora over three states which they have heretofore been claim? ing as certain to oast their electoral votes for McKinley. These states are New York, Indiana and Illinois. Io 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 realise that the State will be doubtful!f Id Indiana, tho State ticket nominated by the domootats, beaded by John W. Kero, is so strong that Indian a Repub? licans have notified tbo leaders of the party that tlie State is io danger. In Illinois, tbe tide has beeo running soti republiceo for some time, aod SDpesls for help are being received io Wash? ington. This soare is so bad that prominent republicans are saying that it is useless to consider candidates from other states for seoood plaoe oo tbe MoKioley ticket; that be most be taken from one of those three states, aod must be a mat wbo will add strength to tbe ticket Mr. MoKio? ley has gooe out of bis way to make friends with Seoator Mason, of Illinois, wbo wan anti-administration during the reoeot eessioo of Congress, aod has succeeded io getting Mason to promise to take the stump for him. As Mason isn't the sort of man wbo eao be woo over by jollying, it is likely thst be has reoeived some deficite aod iron clad promises of future patronage. Tbe industrial oommissioo, so-called, has provided itself with a pleasant summer junket, all of the expenses of which will be paid by tbe "dear peo? ple.'* It has decided that the indus? trial conditions, principally flirtations aod suob, aloog the Northern Atlantic coast, must be investigated during the summer, aod has arranged for meetings of the oommissioo duriog the next three mooths. io Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and the New Kng laod States. Ooe of the first duties of a democratic administration and con? gress will be to abolish tbe republican government oommissioo humbug, whioh has beoome so rampant aod so expen? sive under this MoKioley administra? tion. Chairman Payoe of the house ways aod meaos committee has giveo away the claim of the republicans that the reason tbey did not reduoe war taxes at the recent session of ooogress was their desire to have tbe committee graot hearings aod study tbe questioo during tbe recess, so that the right sort of bill providing for i he reduotioo might be reported to tbe boose, by tbe offioial sooouooemeot that tho committee would oot be called together until just before ooogress meets. Io other words, tbe question of tbe reduction of war taxes is to be left or.ea until after elec? tion io order that all tbe big interests may be taxed for the republican cam? paign food. Secretary Long has advertised for bids for furnishing armor plate for battleships under the cowardly law forced through ooogress tbe last thing before adjournment, makiog Mr Long do what tbe republicans of Congress were ashamed to do?agree to the prices of armor set by tbe armor trust, whioh will necessarily bo the only bidder to respond to the advertisement True, the law gives Mr. Long authority to reject the bids if be considers tbe priee too high, aod tc uso the $4,000,000 carried by tbe aot, for tbe establishment of a government plant to make armor plate, bot if hr soted upon that author? ity, tbe repnblioiko leaders wbo eogi oeered the oowirdly make-shift would throw a few fits; they are figuring oo a heavy campaign contribution from tbe armor trost. Mr MoKioley sod Qeo E S. Otis have beeo exchanging taffy. Mr MoKioley has been telling Otis that be was the only real thiog io tbo military way|produoed by the Pbilippioe war? many believe that. Otis produced that war?and that he would have beeo glad to have made him, instead of Miles, a lieutenant gonetal, but congress fixed it so that promotion had to go to Mile?; while Otis overjoyed at bis promo? tion to be a major general has been telling Mr MoK nley that be is tbe greatest of all presidents Outside of tbe White House there has been no attempt to lioois.3 Otis because of the prevalence of tbo opinion that ho has already more than was coming to him for anything ho achieved duriog hi* blendering career in tbe Philippines. Hi?c ball players should vis'.t the store of H. (J Osteen & Go. bet?re buying their sup? plies. A Cotton Palace. Cg'The king is dead, long live the king.' Such is the cry in many a foreign laud 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 of his yearly reign and the new crop is estimated for planting. No sooner baa the planter put bis product on the market than he beginn to talk of the next season and its possibilities, j and because cotton is king in this fair land there is reason in the decis? ion that the central buildiug 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 broadeoiog of His dominion and the exploiting of His virtues Taking the lesson from the little brown seed to ite furtherest product, the steps msde 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 the people of Carolina in rendering raw material suitable for business uses. * * * South Carolina was the first State to pay Eii Whitney for the use of his iovention in clean? ing seed cotton The first water gin was erected by Capt Kincaid on Mill Creek, near Montecello, Fairfield County, in 1795, and for many years, dating from 1801, the Boatwrights of Colombia, 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 in homespun made in the 'v^tate 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 Murrsy's Ferry's, Williamsburg County, and Mr Benj Waring in the latter prrt of the 18th century, had a cotton factory near Statesburg, for spinning and weaving Manchester cotton stuffs " From the story told above turn 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 sre consuming a great amount of the staple produced and seem hungry for more Mills are equipped with every improvement and accessory that hu? man ingenuity can devise. The indue try ha a grown from a pigmy to giant within the century, and ite periods of growth have be*?n 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 U6ed aud manufactured goods The Cotton Palace will be an object lesson that will surprise and instruct even those who are deeply interested, for without study ing the facts as they will thus be presented, it is impossible to realize the wonderful, almost fabuioua ad vances made In reference to the textile exhibit the following has recently been pub? lished in the News and Courier. "A suggestion has come from a prominent cotton mill man regarding the South Carolina Inter state and West Indian Exposition that is well worth exploiting and ehould meet with hearty response from the cotton manufacturers of the State. This suggestion is to the effact that the 'textile exhibit' should be taken up by cotton mill men and made one of the grandest features of the great show. South Carolina has 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 ioviting the world to come and see what has been done. i "The plan outlined for the makiog of this special exhibit by the mann I facturers has only gone go far as ! ways and means, and to raise the money it wonld only be necessary for each mill represented to put up $500 The mill owner making the proposition said that be could speak for four mills in which be 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 sppropriated by each for this purpose." The Capture of Gen Filar. Washington, Juno 9 ?Qeo PdcAr? thur has cabled the following report of the eaptore of Gen Pilar : "Manila, June 9 ?Native polioe oaptured Gen Pio Dal Pilar this morn? ing. He was found lurking in the neighborhood of San Pedro Macati. MacArthur." Geoeral Sohwao'e estimate of the importance of the news is oontaincd in this statement : "The capture of Get Pio Del Pilar, cabled by Gen MaeArthur this morn? ing, is a most important one. Pilar was regarded as ooo of the most active aid uncompromising of tbe rebel chieftains He succeeding to withdraw? ing his troops to the mountains and eluding the several oolumos that were <*3Ut oat to destroy him. It was diffi? cult to keep track of bis movements and he frequently was reported as being at a number of plaoe* at tbe rime time. That bis capture has been effected by tbe native polioe of Manila, a body numbering some four hundred, evi? dences a fresh loyalty of these men to the American cause, so often impugned both by Americans and Filipinos " State ?f South Carolina, COUNTY OF SUMTER.
