:ation of the Pacific coast. 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. With wreck
md ruin such a^ no other city in
.his country, possibly none other of
is size has ever faced in just the
lame way, with a hundred thousand
>r more people suffering for food,
vith a whole city homeless, with
he task of ministering to the needy,
>f caring for the sick, of burying the
lead, of tiding over the situation
intil business can be readjusted ar.d
he work of rebuilding homes unlertaken,
it behooves the South,
lushed as it is with abounding
jrcsperity, to show its gratitude
ind its appreciation of the demands
>f humanity, to give and give liber- (
dly, and to remember that he who i
fives quickly gives doubly, of its
apidly-increasing wealth to the
iceds of San Francisco and other
itricken cities of California. Withn
the last 12 months the wealth of
he South has increased at an averige
of 83,000,000 a day, or over
>1,000,000,000. I ts people are
prosperous, its factories are crowded
vith work, its lands are enchancing
i? value. Let it halt lor a moment
n the contemplation of its own
lappy condition in contrast with
hat of the sufT. rers on the Pacific
roast and at least, as the smallest
possible measure of its gratitude,
five one days increase of wealth, and
five it quickly. 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.
In every community, in ev? ry
hurch, in every business organization
from Maryland to Texas there
should be an immediate response to
the overwhelming needs of the sadly

TEXT BOOKS TO BE USED.
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.

that if any books are furnished to

Mr. E. Ii Hunnicutt, who resides
at Excelsior Knitting Mills,
lost a good mare last Friday. The
animal was found dead in the lot. !
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

plainly that there was this malicious
treatment of the animal.

Get our prices
There were representatives of several
book publishing houses hero
yesterday and they were invited before
the hoard. A forni/of contract
was drawn up and the book men
approved of the exactions made by
the board.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the board:
1. 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

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.
The most significant item in the
form of contract is with reference
to the book depositories. After declaring
that there shall be no fewer
than three depositories or agencies
in each and every county in the
State, said agencies to be approved
by the State board of education,
with as many additional agencies as
may be necessary for the prop :r
handling of books, the contract continues:
"The party of the second part further
agrees to and with the party of
the first part that it will furnish the
books named in this contract to its
own agencies to the county depositories,
and to individuals in the
