It wants t find a four-leaf clover; it runs to se where the green snake went tc tracks the woodcuuck to its hole an< gets it out; it learns the songs of th birds, and knows when the smelt runup the brooks and when th twilight is just right for finding th partridges. In short, the countr child gets naturally a broad traininj in observation. It also has on th farm an admirable training in manua labor. From an early age it oan ac tually contribute to the care o * animals, the successful conduct o the household, and the general wei fare of the family. In the city al | this natural training is lacking, and substitutes for it have to be artificially provided. This necessity has . brought into our schools nature-6tudv and manual training, to teach the child to use its eyes and its hands, and to develop its senses and its muscular powers; and these new , beneficent agencies in education, already well in play, are in the near j future to go far beyond any 6tSge at 0 present reached. We do not yet see O how to replace in urban education which the farmer's boy or the seaO coast boy gets from his habitual contest with the adverse forces of nature 3 The Gotts Island boy, on the coast of Maine, goes out with his father in 0 the early winter morning in a halfopen sailboat to visit their lobster 0 traps and bring home the entrapped lobsters. They start with a gentle 0 breeze and a quiet sea, though the temperature is low. The boy knows 3 just how to steer the boat five or six miles to sea, where the traps are 0 sunk on some rocky spot which the 0 lobsters love. The father is busy pulling the traps. The boy watches 0 the weather, and suddenly he says, "Father, there is a southwester com0 iDg. See the clouds driving this way over the hills." The boy knows as 2 well as the father what that means. " 1 ? i 1 1 1 It means a iearrui oeac or winawara 0 to get home, facing a savage wind and a falling temperature, the spray [) dashing over^the vessel and freezing to the saib and ropes and loading 0 down the bow with ice. It means a life and-death struggle for hours, the ~l question being, shall we get into the harbor or not before we sink ? Now, 5 that is a magnificent training for a boy, and the sheltered city offers 5 nothing like it. The adverse forces of nature, if not so formidable that 5 men cannot cope with them, are strenuous teachers, but in modern 3 cities we hardly know that the wind blows, or that the flood is coming, or ) that bitter cold is imperiling all animal life.?President Elliott. 5 ^ Suicide Prevented. 0 The startling announcement that a preventive of suicied has been discov0 ered will interest many.

Driven to bay, Cantey Weston fired upon bis enraged and half drunken brother, killing him instantly. The terrible crime was committed in Lexington county near Cayce Thursday night about 10 o'clock, and the body of Hilliard Weston lay there in the moonlight for hours, while the fratricide was speeding on his way to escape the officers of the law. The effect of the fatal fire was terrible, 140 No. 3 shot having struck the man who was instantly killed, his * i tt 1 o * neart naving oeen piercea oy 10 01 tbe death laden balls, which are hearly as large as buckshot. The two brothers were engaged as carpenters at work on the locks, and had been in the employ of theEvansviile Contracting company, They were regarded as very good negroes. The trouble arose in reference to a settlement of a piece of laDd that was left by the father of the two, who died several years ago The property in question was left to several children and there has been a great deal of trouble in the settlement of owership. Thursday the water at the government works was too high for the carpenters to do their work and the two brothers spent most of the afternoon drinking. When they were pretty well under the influence of liquor the subject of the disputed land came up and a quarrel followed. Hilliard, the dead man, was much larger than his brother and when he showed fight Cantey ran, his brother in pursuit. The chaBe lasted for nearly a mile when Cantey ran into his house, got his gun and, when his brother came near enough, he shot him in the stomach and killed Hilliard instantly. The shooting took place* about a mile up the Southern railway track toward Augusta, the body being found there yesterday morning. Dr. Sandel, of Brookland, held the post mortem examination yesterday afternoon and found that there were 140 places pierced by the shot. Of this number 18 shot took effect in the heart and caused instant death. Up to a late hour last night Cantey Weston, the murderer, was still at lar^e and the authorities were at a loss as to where to find him. A vigilant search has been instituted and if he is in that part of the country bis capture will soon be made. i Hilliard Weston, the deceased, liTTorl in Plnlnmhia ViatMnrr V*io Vioma on Washington street near the Seaboard Air Line railroad. Rheumatism. When pains or irritation exist on any part of the body, the application of Ballard's Snow Liniment gives prompt relief. E. W. Sullivan, Prop., Sullivan House El ReDO, 0. T., writes, June 6, 1902: "I take pleasure in recommending Ballard's Snow Liniment to all who are afflicted with rheumatism. It is the only remedy I have found that gives immediate relief." 25c, 50c and Si 00 Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Scarlet Funerals.

The Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Comptroller General and State Treasurer have decid ed that no State bank examiner could be appointed under the present act, owing to its deficiencies. The board was in session for a considerable time on the matter about which several letters have been written to the Governor. As the law was interpreted, however, the board decided there was no fixed methods by which the banks could be assessed equally and do method of collecting the assessment by the respective CLunty Auditors. The act is very general in its nature, simply providing for the appointment of aa examiner, at a salary of $1,500 per annum and was passed in 1897. All the other administrations let the matter go Ly and the Legislature has never fcakm it up again. The many deficiencies in the act :ii u . ..i .. .i-.

Dr. Geo. EwiDg, a practicing physician of Smith's Grove, Ey., for over thirty years, writes his personal experience with Foley's KidDey Cure: "For years I had been greatly bothered with kidney and bladder trouble and enlarged prostrate gland. I used everything kuown to the pro feseion without relief, until I commenced to use Foley's .ixidney Cure. After takiDg three bottles I was entirely relieved and cured. I pres scribe it now daily in my practice and.heartily recommend its use to all physicians for such troubles. I have prescribed it in hundreds of cases with perfect success.'1 The Kaufmann Drug Co. Fitzkugh Lee on Lynching. Kansas City, Jul--29?Gen. JFitzhugh Lee w-o in "Kansas City today on his way to lecture in Beioit, Kan. Speaking of lynching, he said: "I don't believe in lynchiug. Nobody believes in lynching. Be careful that you get that right. Nobody does." "However," continued the General, "there is one of the objects attained by lynching that is seldom considered. If a man, say a negro, shall assault a woman, perhaps some very dear relative of yours, he has got to be killed or arrested. If this negro is arrested after his crime and is brought into the court room, the woman, the one who has suffered already, is the principal witness. She must appear, and perhaps under the cross examination of lawyers, re- 1 late every detail of the assault, thus subjecting her to humiliation to an extreme degree." , . PTsft "Hofl fTl PftTlfl lfTT ?**<* orwMV** awMMtvjfa Little thiDg sometimes results in < death. Thus a mere scratch, insigni- 3 ficant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty.

The cause of the trouble was r the alleged disturbance of a colored e meeting by whites and the cursing of a white boy by a negro. v An armed crowd of negroes was dispersed by the extra force of policemen on duty but more trouble is expected. 2Tot Over-Wise.
