AN INTERESTING REPORT
Capt. fl. P. Walker's Annual Report j
as Superintendent Submitted to
State Superintendent of Education.
State Superintendent Martin aas re
ceived the 56th annual report of the
State institution for the education of
the deaf, dumb and blind. The board
of commissioners through the chair
man, Col. T. J. Moore, have recom
mended that the legislature make the
following appropriations for the year
1905: For support, $24,000; for repairs,
$500; for insurance, $1,144.
The institutions has departments for
- white and ipr colored children. There
are nino teachers of the. deaf and four
for. the blind. In addition there are
teachers of painting, drawing and ?
music, foreman of printing office, fore
man of shoe shop, master of wood
shop, master of shop for blind boys
and instrucior of industrial depart
ment for girls.
! In his annual report, the superinten
dent, Capt N. F. Walker, gives an in
teresting historical sketch of the in
stitution, from which he makes the de
duction that less than, a hundred years
ago the defectives of all classes were
considered alike-mutes and imbeciles
being regarded alike hy the people at
large. But the work of the State In
stitution at Cedar Springs has made it
clear that the unfortunates defective in
hearing and sight alone are people of
a high order of consciousness and in
telligence. v
"It is very gratifying for us to know,"
says* Superintendent Walker;., "that-a
largo number of our alumni are worthy -
and self supporting citizens and tax
payers of the State-preachers, teach
housekeepers, etc The school is now
well-equipped in all its ; different de
partments for the advancement of the
intellectual, moral and physical de
velopment of the pupils."
D?ring the last scholastic year 179
pupils were enrolled, .116 deaf and 63
blind; 122 white and 57 colored. There
was only one death, that of little Mary
Jones of Saluda, a mute wh? had just
entered the school. There was no other
illness- in thc school and there has not
.been a case of continued fever in the
schpol for 30 years. The appropriation
last year was a little more than the
amount asked for in the report, for
a laundry, fully equipped, has been
added to the plant, and other improve
ments were made.

The future mark?t opened quiet and
from 8 to 10 points down, influenced by
bearish crop movement and lower
Liverpool; also by dispatches from
Texas exhibited by the bear element to
the. effect that country bankers of toat
Staate will only'advance $25 per bale
. o?? cotton when well insured. Trading
today was very quiet, the usual Satur
day dullness being in evidence; the
fluctuations were few and narrow, Jan
uary opened 12 points lower at 7.47,
sold down I point then advanced to
7.57 and finally lost 2 points to 7.55.
The market closed steady with net
losses of 3 to 6 points.

South Carolina Items.
The railroad commission's decision
made public last week practically dis
misses the petition of the various com
mercial bodies of the State for the re
duction in inter-Statee rates on the
ground that these rates are excessive
and oppressive and above what they
are in North Carolina and Virginia,
and therefore give Virginian cities un
due advantage in this territory over
Charleston and other South Carolina
distributing points. The decision is a
great surprise to those who have been
working for a reduction in thc rates
now for over a year, as they bad been
confidently expecting a victory. In
the standard cotton tariff a straight
rate of 35 cents is made for over ten
miles, ip the fertilizer tariff the rate
Js made straight $2,75 instead of a rate
ranging between $2,75 and $3,05 and io
the rate of flour in barrels there is a
p?raller reduction of two cents on each
haul period of ten miles.
Cigars Thirty Years Old.
' Nehemiah Murkett of East Hamp
ton, Conn., is smoking some cigars
over thirty years old. They were
made by the widow of Stephen
Mitchell, who sold these cigars, hand
made with Havana filler, for 1 cent
each. - In settling the estate of a deal
er who handled them ?Mr. Murkett
came into possession of a box. While
the-cigars"are hard they smoke ex
ceedingly well. ..**-..

A Wonderful Tree.
Most people have heard of the. polyp,
that wonderful marine animal which,
cut into a thousand pieces, grows into
a. thousand new animals. The same
thing is true of the polyp tree, a
mecies of cereus, which is abundant
n Paraguay. The minutest piece of
:hls tree, cut from whatever part,
;rows into a new- plant. It is not nec
essary to plant lt; all you have to do
'.s to throw it on the ground, when it
will strike root of its own accord.
These plants, with their relatives, the
cacti, have the remarkable habit of
ieriving their sustenance entirely from
the rain and the atmosphere, for they
will grow and thrive in clefts in the
naked rock where lhere le not a parti
cle of earth matter. Their succulent
6tems ?re full of a viscous matter
which make3 an excellent glue. Rid
ding a garden of thc weird tree would
probably be a difficult business.

The legislative bill was scrutinized

the bill, was required constantly to ex
plain some particular appropriation.
The pay of the stenographers to com

Polite Children of East Bolivia.
Capt. Jermann of Rio de Janeiro,
who recently returned from a Journey
into the rubber districts of East Bo
livia, almost in the heart of Central
America, visited a town in the very
interior, so. far from civilization that
it "required a horseback ride of three
days to get to lt. There he found two
schools for boys and one for the girls
of the place, but only one teacher,
who was an old half-breed. This old
man was drunk when the traveler ar
rived, and remained drunk for two
days.
"But," says Cspt. Jermann, "thc chil
dren were just as good and well-be
haved as if they were cnjoyiL the
best educational chances in the world.
They were as polite as the most cul
tured people in the outside world, and
wero eager to nhow me attentions,
without, however, pressing them upoa
me.
"They never entered a house, not
even a shop, witnout knocking at the
door or the side and obtaining permis
sion to come in. After this permission
was given they always took off their
shoes, which they left outside.-'
Ducks Led by a Pigeon.
One of the strangest sights ever
seen by sportsmen was witnessed the
other day on the duck pass owned by
Uri Lamprey of St. Paul.
Mr. Lamprey and a friend had been
shooting for some Gnni when they
observed a flock of ducks coming
along from the north. The ducks were
blue-winged teals and at their head
was a white bird.
"That's queer," said Mr. Lamprey;
"I'll take the white blrj and see what
it is."
Both sportsmen fired, both bringing
down their bird. Upon examination
it was found that? the leader of the
ducks was a tame white pigeon.
If anyone has ever before sceu a
flock of ducks led by a white pigeon
it ls time for him to rise aod say so.
The great lesson ot thc Manage"*-,
campaign seems to bc- that this coun
try needs tougher soldiers. There is
a superabundance of tough citizens
that might be made available, the
Philadelphia Inquirer declares. .

Under dale of January IO. 1897. Ur.
Hartman received the following.letter:
".Viv wife baa been a Bufferer from a
complication of diseases for the past
twenty-five years: Her case bas baffled
the skill of some of the most noted phy
sicians. One of her worst troubles was
chronic constipation of several years'
standing. She was also passing through
that most critical period in the Ufe of a
woman-change of life.
"In Jun?v 1895, J wrote to yon about
her crise. Yon advised a course of Poni
na and Mar.aiin, which we at once com
menced, and have to say it completely
cured her.
"About thc same time I wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of twenty-five years' stand
ing. At limes I was almost past going..
1 commenced to usc P?rima accord
ing to your Utstrnctlonn.and contin
ued its usc for about, a year, and il
iias completely curad mc. Your rem

. Jn a letter dated January 1. 1900, Air.
Atkinson ?nys, after live years' experi
ence with Peruna:
will ever continue to speak a
goad xcord for Peruna. I am still
cured of catarrh."-John O. Atkin
son, Independence, Mo., Box 37?.
Mrs. Aila Schwaudt, Sanborn, Minu.,
writes:
"I have been troubled ivith rheum*
a limn and catarrh for twenty-jive
years. Could not. sleep day ur night.
After having used Peruna Jean sleep
und nothing bothers mc noa: If I
ever am ajjccled with any IMm! of
sickness Peruna- u ill bc thc medicine
I shall usc. My son was cured oj' ca
tarrh nf thc larynx by Peruna."
Mrs. Alta Sch wandt.
Why Old People Are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes n, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most.universal in old people.
This explains why Pciunn has become
so indispensable io old people.' Peruna
is their safc?uai:l. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devistd that entirely mecU
these cases. Nothing tilt an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.
