"Talking about bookkeeping, there used to be a man in Yankton whose system of book-j keeping accounts was wonder-1 fully efficient, lie kept a hotel ; and he could neither read nor write. He did not know how ; to t-pell his own name, but he ; did a thriving business and ! collected every dollar of his ac counts. Once, years ago, wlit n 1 lirstcame to this country, 1 ; went to his hotel and slopped there two weeks," writes Mil Brinben. "WiienJ left, he presented me with a statement of what I lowed him, and it was a curiosi ity. He had copied it from his' I ledger. At the tup ol ttie sheet i I there was a picture of a soldier j on the march and after it three j | straight marks. Then there j i was «i scene showing a man at j table eating. Then appeared a bed with a man in it. In the! amount column there was a! picture of a doll and after it the j two letters "RS." After tlie- j • picture of a man eating there wore forty-two marks; afttr the view of the man in bed,: ' j fourteen marks. 1 looked at j ' I the account, then at the pro ! prietor, and told him i* would take me a we. kto answer that " conundrum. "I was completely "stumped; j and when thai hotel man cie- j j ciphered the amount for mo it: : was this: This picture of the! | soldi-r walking meant March, I i and the three marks supplied j the date, March 3, when I began I I boarding. The man at the I o 1 - table with forty-two marks after it indicated that I had eaten! f forty-two meals. The man in i bed with fourteen marks sliow ;ed that I had slept in the house i fourteen nights. The doll with i the'US' after it meant "dol lars,' and in the ligure col-" j umns appeared the figures 14, I which was the amount I owed I him. And it was a true bill." —Yankton Press. CASTONIA.

Leahy's enormous weight was acquired within the past ten years. When he turn ;ed the 500 pound mark two I years ago his physician pro -1 nounced the increase in his size due to fatty degeneration of the ' heart and told Leahy his death 1 was only a question of time. Appreciating the trouble his 1 interment might cause his "j friends, Leahy hunted up a I place of residence close to the 'cemetery and it was necessary s : to carry the casket only a short j • distance .-New York Exchange.

While you hear a great deal about book training now-a days, and we think too much thought and attention cannot'be paid to obliterating ignorance in our State, very little is said aud done towards perfecting the industrial training of our young men, with a view to preparing them to manage and handle factories that our people are building. In New England every boy that is anything is made to learn a trade. He need not work attliat unless he so de sires, but if necessity should force him to don his overalls and jumpers, he has something substantial to fall back 011. Not only that, you will find the mills of Eew England man aged by the sons of the owners, 110 matter how wealthy or what their social standing, but these bo} r s receive their train ing in the workshop and in or der for them to learn what work is and receive the necessary training to make them com petent managers, they are put on an equal with the other la borers and no difference is made in their treatment. The South must develop her manufacturing resources. To do this thoroughly it must be by men "native to the manor born." Aliens and foreigners will only work for money and care little also for our section and^people It seems to us there is a mis taken idea among our South ern people with reference to the training of our boys. The stores are full of clerks at 15 to lO dollars per month. The of fices are full of book-keepers j at the same price. The profes- j sions are full of lawyers and j doctors who are struggling for ' a subsistence and endeavoring to get somewhere near the top, j white many others are seeking wealth in a hap-hazard specu- ' lativc way bv their wits, spend- j ing their time trying to get somtthing for lfbthing, while our factories are being man aged by men who know 110 t- j ing aud have little sympathy with the people of the South ; Manufacturing to the trained, intelligent young Southern man here in the South with cheap labor and raw material means big profits for himself and de velopment for his country. Let's establish a first-class industrial school and encourage our boys to train for something substantial, —Wilson Times. SPRING FEVER. _ Spring fever is another name for biliousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels mean a poisoned system. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms. De- Witt's Little Early 'Risers re move all danger by stimulating the liver, opeuing the bowels and cleansing the system of impurities. Safe pills. Never gripe. li l have taken DeWitt's Little Early Risers for torpid liver every spring for years," writes It. M. Everly, Mounds ville, W. Va.

If the lady who is a candi date for County Clerk in Hunt county is elected and permitted to take the oath of ottiee, man as au office holder will soon b° a thing of the past." We do not believe that woman is elegible to such positions in Texas, but we understand that the Attorney-General takes a different view of the question, and his opinion is worth more than ours. If women are eli gible to county offices they will seek them, and what they seek they get.

You may as well expect to ; run a steam engine without water as to find an active, en ergetic man with a torpid liver and you may know that his liver is torpid when he does not •relish his food or feels dull and languid after eating, often has headache and sometimes diz ziness.

I enclose a printed list of books adopted for use in the public schools by the State Text-Book Commission and of prices and exchange prices of these books. I desire to call attention to the fact that the use of these books in the pub lic schools will be compulsory, under the law, after July 1, 1902, and that, if old books now in use are not exchanged be fore that time, the exchange prices, according to the con tract entered into with the pub lishers by the State-Book Com mission. can not be taken ad vantake of by patrons of the public schools. I wish to urge you, therefore, to send written official notice to all the teachers in your county urging them to notify all children and patrons of their schools, and to give notice to all the people of your county through your county pa per urging them to take ad' vantage of these exchange prices before July 1, 1902- If the patrons of the public schools fail to avail themselves of these low exchange prices before the beginning of the next school year, they will find themselves under the hard necessity of be ing compelled to buy new books at the full price, and their old books will be left as useless property on their hands. This would mean, of course, a great loss to the people of the State aud a decided gain to the pub lishers, Any book that has been used or could have been used by any child in the pub lic schools of North Carolina before July 1, 1902, may be ex changed for a new book of like grade upon the same subject at the price quoted. I send you under separate cover 300 copies of this letter. Send a copy to every teacher and school committeeman. Very truly yours, J. Y. JOYNER, Supt. of Public Instruction.
