Under the new tfaw the Office of going} County Superintendent of Public Instruction passed out of exis tence with the first of June, and Prof. W. H. Ragsdale, the Super- intendent for this county, closed up bis work on that day. He has held the position nearly @ year and a balf and has iu every re spect wade an acceptable official. The teachers of the county were highly pleased with his work and often spoke of it in terms of com- pliment, while the members of the Board of Education did not hes itate to-say the county never had a better Superintendent. Recocuizing the efficieucy of Prot. Kagedaie’s services as Su-| perintendept, Mr. E. A. Moye, Superior Court Olerk, upon whom the new law plaeéd the daiy:.of appointing a County Examiner to succeed: the Superiatendent, to-day appointed bim'to that po- sition.

EVERY AFTERNOON (EXCEPT SUNDAY) It is said that Minister Ran- ‘gom is to come home on the re~ quest of the President and seme admirers say it means a eabinet position. This is hard~ ly probable though as Mr. Ran- som has just been appointed to the position he now holds. It he is to return it is more than probable that it is on acconat of his health. a The latest prediction of chang es likely to occar in the cabinet on account of the death of Sec— retary Gresham is that Attorney General Olney will beceme Sec retary, Hoke Smith or W. L. Wilson will go to the depart- ment ot justice and Don M. DicKinson eicher to the Secre- taryship of ithe Interior or to the position of Postmaster General. The appointments will doubtiess be made in a few days. pn The work heretofore done by the Board of Education went into the hands of the County Commissioners to-day. retiring Board has served the county well and faithfully. The education, interests of Pitt has prospered under their su- pervision. No Board in the Stace was more careful and con scienzious in the discharge of their duties. The entire coun- ty will unite in saying ‘‘well done, good and faithful ser- vants.”’ The Board was com posed of Messrs. J. R. Congle- ten, F. Ward and R.C. Cannon. A Slight Mistake. “They've raked in a pretty rough-looking lot this morning, observed the a police station. “You are looking at the wrong gang.” said the reporter to whom he had spoken. ‘Those are not _ the prisoners, they are the law- Theito A SELF-EVIDENT FACT. The longer we live the more we become impressed with the almost unlimited power of kind- ness. It is a potent lever and gains warvelous victories. The wan who pleads with his fellow- men, from a heart overflowing with love and kindness, does more good in one speech, than the man who uses abuse can ac- complish in a life time. In charch, State, society and bheme the solid, substantial and satisfactory victories are those that emanate from kindness. There are men who drive their wives into uafaithfalneas aad their childrea away from home iato lives of wickeduess throagh a dictatorial bossiam that mani fests itself in words and deeds of bitterness and uokindoess. There are ministers of the gospel who repel rather than attract, who drive mea away from them and the church because they show a spirit of yindictiveness and bit- terness in the pulpit and abuse all who do not agree with their peculiar way of thinking. There are politicians who make men yote against them and injure the party to which they belong be- cause they indulge in vilification rather than convincing argu- ments. Pe>rple have a right to their Opinions aud oo man has a right abuse his fellowman because ‘he can’t agree with him. There is no place in this world where dictatorial assumption of author- ity aod indulging in bitterness pays. Kindness attracts; abuse repels. Kindness builds ap; abuse destroys. Kindness wins ; abuse defeats. Kindness _ pro- duees love; abuse produces hatred. Kiodness is a force that brings about reforms and elevates mankind; abuse is a force that degrades aod inaugurates no movements for bettering the con- dition of the human rsce.—Or- ange (Va) Observer. Eee PRAISE YOUR WIFE, “How do I look?” asked a young wife who stood before her husband dressed to attend a party with him. As raised his eyes from the pa- per he was reading, looked at her critically, and said : “Ail right You'll do.” Her heart sunk and her lips quivered, but he did rot know it. She was conscions of looking her best, and she wanted a word of praise, of admiration, from her husband, and she failed to re- ceive it- Why was he so grudging of his praise. Ask the average man who answers his wife in that way when she asks his opinion, as she invaribly does, and he will tell you that she always looks well— dressed in good taste and above criticism. But why doesn’t hesay that to her? or, rather, why does he not make a little lover-like speech for such an occasion? Even the courteous remarks he would bestow on the costume of an ordinary acquaintance are withbeld from his own wife. There was a husband—he is dead now—who used to say to his wife: “My dear, you are looking charming this evening ;” or, I love you vest in that blue dress of yours.” He was a poor stick of a man io the way of wordly success, bnt his widow canonized him for just those loving tributes, giyen to her with a lover's deference after many years of wedded life. “Oh,” said a disappointed wo- man, “I would like to be a mau just to show what a good hus— band I could be.” Verry Much Out of Place, No limit has ever been found to the uses of a small boy’s pock- et. One day at at school a little girl put up her hand to attract dattention. “Teacher, Johnny's gota cat- erpillar.” Johnay was of course called to the desk, made to surrender the cherished possession, and sent to his seat with a reprimand. In about two minutes the same small voice complained : “Teacher, Johnny’s got another caterpillar !” A second surrender of the cat- erpillar and a second admonition followed. Hardly had silence once more settled over the room, when a frantic waving of the hand was ——— by a perfect shriek of “Teacher, Johnny's Kot a whole This time the eres s dismay equalled her pupils, and sGueae ‘was promptly sent home with his brood of strange pets. Eg ee ee ee A Forward Step at Florence, 8, C. On Monday last a very entha- siastic meeting of the Florence County, S. C., Tobacco Growers’ Association was hold at Florence. About seventy-five leading plant- ers were present, and the discus- sion of yarious topics on tobacco culture occupied about three hours. A large oumber of new planters enrolled their names, and the asreage represented at the meeting aggregated 1,087 acres. On Monday night an important meeting of the business men was held, and the Florence Board of Trade was organized with over fifty members. The object of this association is to assist in ‘putting the tobacco market at Florence on a sound footing. In _ this movement all the business men are taking a hand, and it is safe to say the Fiorence market will be a success A company has been organized to build another warehouse, which will be erected at once. The lot has been purchased and lamber ordered, and the house will be ready tor the new crop. Negotiations are pending for the lease of the two warehouses, and Florence 1s likely to be a very active market and a strong bidder for the big South Carolina crop now growing-—Ex. ESTABLISHED 1875.

Wears Very Badly and Is Unsat- isfactory to Librarians. Fhe Leaves Become HBrittie, and im s&s Few Years the Volume is Worth- lesese—Amertean Pulp Paper Is Saperior to Others. The use of pulp paper in books is causing a great deal of trouble to librarians, says the Cincinnati Times-Star. They find that books printed on pulp paper have not as long a period of existence as those of former times. If the book is much used it soon assumes a ‘‘dog-eared” appearance and its ordinary life is but a year or two. If it is but rarely read the heat of the library seems to act upon the leaves, rendering them brittle, andin a few years rendering the volume worthless. ‘‘] find the most trouble with the German books,” said Librarian Whelpley, of the public library, the other day. ‘‘Nearly all of the books secured by us from Germany are printed on pulp paper, and they don’t last as long as the books of the olden time. They first commence to get brittle on the edges. The reader unconsciously tears away a part of the broken edge of a leaf and before many months a new volume looks as if it had been in circulalation as many years as it has months. The German manufacturers of pulp paper do not seem to be able to make as good a grade of paper as the English and American manufacturers. Prob- ably the American pulp paper is su- perior to that manufactured in any other country. Our manufacturers seemed to have acquired a degree of perfection in their articles that none of the others approach in any de- gree. They use more clay in the manufacture of the paper than the others do, and that renders their paper heavier. *‘But even at the best the life of a pulp-paper book is not a long one. A man beginning as a boy a collec- tion of them would probably find, when he reached three-score and ten, that his earlier collection had been seriously injured by age, and that the pages were so brittle that they could not be handled without breaking. I can cite one case of a book printed on English pulp paper in this respect. It was a copy of Matthew Henry’s commentary on a: the Bible. It had been in the library thirty years or so and but rarely At the end of that time, tinder, so brittle had they become. ‘‘Librarians have a great deal to ®%i contend with in prolonging the ex- pi istence of a boo ,” continued Mr. Whelpley, ‘‘that the uninitiated do not dream of. There is always a B| certain amount of heat in a library, iwhich has a damaging influence on RI the paper in books and their binding. It 18 hard to believe, But itis a Fact) that since the introduction of elec- tric lighting in the library we find the life of our books prolonged. This is because the electric lights give out but little heat and no gases. The excessive heat of gas lights and the gases they throw off after combus- tion did sad damaye to our books and their bindings. Speaking of bindings, they area source of anx- iety to librarians. The best of leath- er bindings will rot in time. Cloth bindings are the best for private libraries, for they keep forever if the book is not too much handled. But they have their disadvantages. They are of no use on bulky Volumes and in public libraries they wear out too quickly. Allof the editions de luxe are printed on English linen paper, because publishers know that they would not have a life of many years if printed on nulu naner.’ —- —— rc ee Professional ‘Cards. B F.
