"The Dark Corner", by Zach McGhee, Washington correspon dent of The Columbia State, is an altogether delightful story Storm M e n- that holds the attention from the first and meets a severe test of a good book by leaving the reader with a wholesome desire to accomplish something in this work-a-day world not to go out and fight wind-mills nor yet to sit idly and dream of superhuman deeds, but to give whatever light one may and to scorn the pom pous pretense that deceives none but the benighted. It is a good book to place in every school library and every home. It is an intimate, sweet and intensely human story of the unfolding of purpose in the life of a man with sense to see through shams and with strength to fight them, and of his successful efforts to bring out of darkness a partic ularly "Dark Corner" in South Carolina which was cursed by the ministrations of pompous fools for teacher and preacher. made to the confirmation of any member of the Cabinet when the President sent that body his list of nominations todav. The nom inations followed the formal noli fication of the President by : Senate committee that the Senate was organized. Although there was no specific opposition to the Cabinet mem bers, some rather sharp com ments were made by Mr. Tillman concerning the nomination of Mr, Meyer to be Secretary r of the Navy and by Mr. Bailey, con cerning Mr. Nagel. to be Secre tary of Commerce and Labor. In his remarks Mr. Tillman called attention to the investigation of him by the Postoffice Department during Mr. Meyer s incumbency of the office of Postmaster Gen eral. The South Carolina Sena tor said that Meyer "accused me of being a liar when I was not," and "T accused Meyer of being a liar when he was." However, Mr. Tillman did not object to confirmation. The com ments by Mr. Bailey upon the qualification of Mr. Nagel had reference to the latter's service as counsel to the Waters-Pierce Oil Company. Mr. Bailey said LUMBER BRIDGE LOCALS.

I say a success authoritatively, for local visitors, as well as those from other places, have given the work their heartiest com mendation. We thank the good people of Lumberton, because without their co-operation we could never have attained this high mark of success. As to the condition of the build ing, I feel that I ought to say eome things, as I am in a position i uhv- iiwm lavto, auu nut 1 from rumor. The building is in practically, the same condition I that it was when we first enter ed it for school Durooses. It has been a matter of certainty to the trustees or at least to some of them that the ceiling over the auditorium was sagged from 8 to 10 inches. It appeared to the management to be dangerous. An architect Mr. MacMillar, -of Wilmington, who was considered one of the best in the State was called here tq examine and pass upon the rt&tteti-t He made two examinations- and pro nounced the i building absolute ly safe, and it jiras Bagged more than it is now. ifle received his fees for these, examinations, and we felt that he knew his business and therefore w felt that we could continue our work without any fear of disaster to the school. Some member of the board who had not noticed the sagging be fore found it out a few days ago. l I "ui uiiiimiiK it unuuier ar- I chitectMr. MacMichael, of Char ioiie, was canea nere to make examinations and to report to the poard his hndings.

LINE. ceiling of the auditorium, direct ly beneath the dome. wnen tne Duiiding was com pleted it was noticed that that part oi ine puuoing was not ex actly right, and ' Mr. McMillan, of Wilmington, reputed to be a competent architect, was called here to examine it Mr. Mc Millan pronounced it entirely safe. A-few nights ago Mr. W. Hv Humphrey, a member of the school board, noticed the con dition of the ceiling over the auditorium and called it to the attention of other members of the board, and it was decided to have another architect to exam ine and pass on its condition. Mr. J: M." McMichael, of Char lotte, was wired to come at once and he was here Saturday. He pronounced that part of the building unsafe and the school board at once employed him to do whatever work is necessary to make it safe. It was at first intended to close only the cen tral portion of the. building and continue teaching in the rooms in the wings, as-suggested, by Mr. McMichael, but reports of the condition of thebuilding mg to teach them the lessons of life. Had not so many rumors gone out we might have taught on in the wings of the building with absolute safety, but these rumors have so excited the peo ple that we are sure we could net do effective work until the mat ter is adjusted, and, therefore, the school closes and will remain closed until further notice be given.
