During the past year a correspondent of The Timeb has mentioned once or twice that the present County Superintendent of Education is doing a great work for the people of the county by selling sohool books from his office to the people at cost. For years past it has been the custom to sell sohool books to school teachers at ten per cent, disoount. Has the law changed? Some of the district schools are much in need of books. If the teacher still has the benefit of the discount in price then the teacher is the most suitable one to purchase i the books. Will some one please inform the public with reference to this question. Educatob. GREENVILLE CONVOCATION. Church of the Nativity, Union, S, ! C., Feb. a, 3, 4 and 5, 1904. tuesday, keb. 2ND. 11 a. m.

However, in order to give owners of such cards reasonable time to dispose of those on hand, Mr. Madden has instructed postmasters to accept them for mailing until July 1, 1904, upon payment of postage at proper rates. On and after July 1,1904, such cards will be treated as unmailable at any rate of postage. m - Resolutions of U. D. C.
