No one iced fear that San Francisco will lot meet this emergency with a ! spirit equal to the occasion. What Galveston did when swept by the storm, which seemed at its end to lave left no hope but death and lesolation for that city will be duplicated in San Francisco. It is ?ut of such fearful trials, such tcstng in the fire, that the pure gold >f strong manhood and womanhood s developed. "But it is not of San Francisco's uture a year or two hence that wo ivould write. It is of the tremonloiis responsibility which rests upon ,he country, and with special appeal ,o the South, to meet the cry of ninianity for help.

If it should give >ut one days increase, 83,000,1)00, t would do but a small part of what die situation demands and what it ?ugot to contribute as indicative of ts appreciation of the manifold ilessings which Providence has so >ountifully bestowed upon its people.

Stats Boer J of Education Adopts F'an. Form of ContnaGt D awn Up. I The State board of education yes. tcrdny completed the work ??f its session and adjourned until June, I when the adoption of text books l will be made. This adoption will ; mean u great deal for the State. I The total enrolment in the public schools of the State last year was 3)2,GG3, the av< rage attendance being 200,100. If each child studied but the "3 It's" and had one text book for each branch of study, the total number of text books would have Ixjen 000,000. As a master of fact, nearer 1,000,000 text books were ussd in the public schools of the State last year. It appears to Ik; the disposition of the board to make as few changes as possible in the text books, for every change would mean that pupils must buy new books, whereas if the former book adoption should be endorsed, children could use second-hand books when such should be available. However the board will not let this general plan of conduet prevent the climinat.on of any worthless or worse than worthless text books which may he found on the former list.

Some time the night before she had been taken from the stable by some' evil disposed person and ridden or driven so unmercifully that she died from the effects. Mr. Hunnhu t kept tho horse in a stall in which he had securely fastened her. There were tracks found passing out and in again through two gates, showing plainly that there was this malicious treatment of the animal. Col. Leroy F. Yuumans, who 1ms been ;ipp??iiitc*<l hy Gov.

Resolved, That the bids of publishing houses shall be sealed and deposited with the State superintendent of education, and shall state the contract delivery prices and terms of exchange of books bound in board and cloth. "2. Resolved, That such bidder shall be required to deposit with the Secretary of State board of education of the State of South Carolina, a certified check for S200, made in the name of the State board of education of the State of South Carolina, for each branch of study upon which the bid is offered, the sum of such deposits for all branches not to nvpi>?rl iPtlOO frnm oinr imo nnU_ \ AV?\'U V A ) VVV/ II VIII WIIJ WIIU lishing house, and such deposits shall be forfeited to the State hoard of education of the State of Sooth Carolina and placed to the credit of the income of the permanent State school fund if the successful bidder shall fail to execute his proposed contract and bond on or before July 1st, 190G; provided that the cheek shall not lie collected until ordered by the State board of education and signed by the chairman and secretary thereof." The form of contract provides that the books must come up to the samples submitted, must he furnished to the State at the figures named for a period of five years and that the books adopted, if supplanting others, will be given in exchange at a definite price.
