Aiken Odicers Arrest Man Who Acts Queenly. At Aiken W. C. Stone, who claims to be a lieutenant in the United States army, and alleged to be an escaped lunatic, from the Richard Grundy home, Catonsvllle, Md., was arresOed Wednesday, and the Mary land authorities have been notified. Letters which he carried indicated that he lg a member of a prominent family. Stone was arrested after en tering a private residence, and ask ing for dinner, the food set before him being angrily thrown to the floor, because it did not suit him. Stone said toe had been Illegally de tained at the Maryland Institution, and would fight extradition. MANY HUNGRY CHILDREN SCHOOLS OF CHICAGO. IN WILL SOON HAVE SPECIAL SUP ERVISION BY A When Surrounded by Officers Negro Attempts to Shoot But Officers Get First Shot—Bullet Pierced Negro's W"' ■ Thigh.—Mob of Angry Citizens Outwitted. Escaping from a turpentine camp ■lx miles from Tampa, Fla., where he was detained as a convict, Roland Flowers, a negro, went to the home of Mrs. Jane Ellerbee, a prominently connected white woman, two miles away, at two o’clock Thursday after noon, and at the point of a gun forc ed the frightened woman to submit to an assault. As soon as the negro left, the woman ran a distance of two miles, with no shoes on her feet and but the scant attire the brute had left on her and gave the alarm. Officers from Tampa hastened to the scene In automobiles, and secur ing bloodhounds were soon on the £rail of the negro.. Half a hundred en on horseback also took up the ase, but the sheriffs posse was It to sight the fugitive, which prob- ly saved summary punishment be ing visisted on him. When sighted the negro had a gun which he had taken from the Ellerbee horn* 1 . Whin commanded to halt, he storied •:> shoot, but the officers fired hist, one of the bullets piercing his thigh Another went through the twy bar rels of the gun. The negro was placed In an auto mobile and hurried to Harcty, a small station several miles dlsc.-.nt. Anticipating that the roads wou.t be watched by the angered citizen',, who outnumbered the officers ten to one, the latter took a wide detour aid ar rived at Tampa with their prisoner six o'clock and lodged him In the Jail. He Is now under heavy guard and It is hardly probable thai any violence will be attempted, for the present at least. Mrs. Ellerbee tells a story revolt ing In detail. She was In the yard at the time the aegro arrived, and was the only person about the house The negro asked for a drink of water and permission to sit down and rest He walked Into the house to ait down and when Mrs. Ellerbee pro tested he forced her to go Into the house also, pointing a gun which he found in the Jiouse at her. Mrs. El lerbee Is about 54 years old and lives with her son in a small farm house. At Least That Is What Mr. Shoap Superintendent of Chicago Schools, Says la the Case. Five thousand children who attend the public schools lit Chicago age hab itually hungry, and 10,000 other children in "that city are not auffl- ciently nourished according to a let ter from the superintendent of t?:e schools of Chicago from which Rep resentative Henry of Texas react ex cerpts In the House Wednesday “Texas,” declared Mfr HenT. re plying to a recent speech In defense of the new tariff lawr, delivered- by Representatltfe Boutell of Illinois. "Is prosperous In spite of the Payne Al drich tariff hill. If that law had ant- thlngs to do with the prosperity of Texas, why does U* not bring pros perity to Chicago and other great xities of this country. Again replying to Mr. Boutell’s spt’ech, Mr. Henry said he did not think the price of cotton was 1c o high, nor were any other farm pre- ducts too high, on the farm. Cot. on being on the free list, was not affect ed by the tariff, he declared, bnt State Superintendent of Elementary Rural Schools, Who Will Be Prof. W. K. Tate, of Charleston. The State says the department of education Is soon to receive a strong addition by the appointment of W. K. Tate, assistant superintendent .at Charleston, to the position of State supervisor of elementany rural schools. This position Is made pos sible by the liberality of the Pea body board and the Southern educa tion board. The establishment of city and State systems of public education was for many years the great aim of the trustees administering the will of George Peabody, who in 1867 gave 13,500,000 to the cause of public education in the South. Next in or der the Peabody undertook to foster normal schools in the fourteen South ern States. The great work accom plished in South Carolina by the Winthrop Tranlng School, now Win- throp College, has been liberally sup ported by this board, and the recent endowment of $1,000,000 set aside for the Gborge Peabody College for GIRLS AND BOYS i ' ■' ,r Enter the Cera Ceatest tai Will Eadeit- •r to Wia Prams PRIZES AND AWARDS BOILER EXPLODES BIX MEN KILLED AND SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED.

"Then the 15,000 hungry children in the public schools of Chicago should haunt the gen Jeman from Illinois.” Mr. Boutell replying to statement* hy Mr. Henry declared thit today there were no hungry chili en In 'he public school of Chicago, that 'hat statement applied only to conditions attending the panic of 12)7.

Queer Accident to the Sewer Pipe* at Orange, N. J. The bursting of a tank of hot soap a n»iv days ago has given the sewer lepartment of Orange, N. Jr, -the it)A. ?est job of sewer cleaning that It has had since the system was ccmpleted vears ago. The soap was almost tolled when the tank burst, and there is no telling how many tons of the sticky mass got Into the sewer pipes. The low temperature cooled the soap and It congealed on the In 3ide cf the pipes, stopping the mains completely. For a mile along the line of the «ewer away from the factory men are working at each manhole day end ■tight trying to pierce the viscid nass. The soap is as hard as it would be if it had dried for weeks nd is being taken out of the pipes 'll chunks. It looks as if there was i long job ahead of the department and plenty of work for the Board of Health if it is delayed very long. TRIED TO CARRY OFF ROY\ phasizes the purpose and practice which the trustees have consistently followed. The labeet experiment Introduced by Dr. Wyekliffe Rose, agent of the Peabody board, Is a direct effort to improve school conditions In remote country districts. This work has proved so successful In Virginia and North Carolina that the board has deemted It wise to Introduce It also into South Carolina. A trained school man will be associated direct ly with the State department of edu cation and will devote all his time and energy to the rural school of the State. The man selected for the work la well known to the profession In every county. Coming to South Carolina upon th© Invitation of Julian Mitchell at that time chairman of tho board of commissioners of the city schools of Charleston, Prof. Tate is thorough ly identified with the educational in terests. His work in the Memminger school, In several State summer schools, and on the State board of education Is well known and fully appreciated thoroughout the State. He Is the retiring president of the Stab© Teachers' Association and at the recent meeting In Columbia made a forceable presentation of the con nection between education and good citizenship. When first approached with the of fer of the position as State super visor of elementary rural schools, he made this characterlztls reply: “A man with frontier blood in his vlens is Irresistibly attracted by the diffi culties and manifold opportunities of this new work." Prof. Tate will do lecture work In the university and perhaps at Winthrop College. It Is probable that the trustees of the university will make him professor of elementary education, thus giving the students In the pedagogical de partment the benefit of hla ability and experience in their preparation for active duty In the school room. The girls at Winthrop will also be afforded a like opportunity to hear .Prof. Tate’s fotmvs,Jj^*._di|tl. p J ^ thecBuntfyschools do not require all of his time. The thanks of the educational de partment are directly due to Dr. Rose and Gov. Ansel for securing from the Peabody board an appro priation of $2,700 for this work, and Dr. S. C Mitchell for his assistance in securing $1,000 additional from the Southern educational board. Over 1,000 Boys to Float Special —Acn .tot Fyetnlnp—Method wad Purpose of Boys Farm DemoaNtra- tion Work—Rules Governing Con tests—Prizes and Awards. Over one thousand boys of the state will be in the corn contest this year. There will also be a number of clubs compoeed of young ladies. These corn clubs will be found in al most every county In the state. Dur ing the fall there will be an exhi bition held In Columbia under the auspices of the corn exposition. The United States Department of Agriculture has made the following announcement with reference to the boy’s corn clubs. It Is worth while to get a boy to form a good purpose and work per sistently toward its accomplishment. If a number of boys can be induced to strive for the same goal, with a spirit of friendly rivalry, which will stimulate observation, study, indus try and economy, then the good re sults will be increased many fold. Such Is the plan of the Boys’ Corn Clubs In th© Farm Demonstration Work. In order to get the best re sults it is not only necessary to get the boys to unite in their efforts, but it Is also essential that other vit al forces in the county cooperate. One of the strong features about the Demonstration Work Is that it is co-operative. So in the Boys' De partment we frequently fl nd the county superintendent of education and the teachers, the Demonstration agents, the business men, the news papers and the parents giving aid and support. Where this work is being Intro duced in a county, the county super intendent of education and teachers can reach the boys in all sections of the county more quickly and more effectively than any other agency. The superintendent can explain It to the hoys and secure the names of all boys who will agree to plant one acre of corn. It Is best to begin with corn. It is a fin© subject for study, and our people need to raise more corn in order to be prosperous and Independent. After this Is done a meetlmg of all boys Interested shouH be held at the court house for the purpose of organization and Instruction. Such meeting should be held as early In the season as possible so that every boy may have tlitoe for proper prep aration of soil and selection of seed. For the first year it has been found advantageous to see that first class seed are furnished to all of the boys alike. After that each boy should select and breed his own seed. Wherever a special agent of the De partment of Agriculture of the Unit ed States Is located In a county 11 will be found that he will gladly help In giving Instructions and advice In regard to the agricultural part of the work, either In the country club or to local groups of boys whom he Accident Caused by Turn tug Cold Water in a Hot Boiler WTieu Wo- T ■ ter Was Low. At Bay City. Mich., six men were Instantly killed and a number of others seriously, If not fatally Injur ed, when the holler In Princlngs Saw Mill at Crump exploded Thursday, wrecking the mill anrf scattering the debris 100 feet in all directions. * The accident is believed to have been caused by forcing cold water into the boiler when the water was low, causing excess of steam. The accident happened during the noon hour while the men were in the holler room of the mill warming themselves and waiting for the whis tle to blow to start the second half of the day’s work. Two of the dead men, William Coppersmith and Oscar Shoup were married. The others killed are Geo. De Witt, Ward Amidon, Chris John son and John Flood, all single. CALIFORNIA RAISING COTTON. More Than Fifty Thoasand Acres In Imperial Volley. A Los AnreUfs dispatch says ar rangements have been made with London and San Francisco banks to advance $500,000 to finance »he planting, cultivating and harvesting of this year's cotton crop In the Imperial Valley. It is believed that the land devoted to cotton th's sea son will exceed 60,000 acres. Glus will be scattered throughout the val ley and a compressor, an oil mill ana a refinery built at El Centro. The cotton Industry in the Imperial Val ley has grown so rapidly in the last two years that It Is now regarded as one of the most important In S'-uth- ern California. Profits from lust season’s crop, which was largely ex perimental, are estimated to have 1 ©en close to $50 an acre. NEW COUNTY LAW STATE SENATE PASSES A VERT RADICAL BILL. It Relate* to the Expense* of Form* tag New Counties and Wko Should Pay Them. The paowige of Senator Hgpey’s bill to require the proponents of now counties to pay the expense* ot aur- veya, elections, etc., caused v fight in the senate Wednesday morning. A motion to strike, out the enacting words was mad* when the WH was called and Senator Harvey, the au thor, defended his bill with vigor and earnestness. The Senator from Berkeley said that if they had to pay the expenses, so many ambitious new county advo cates would not spring up, as is the case now. He continues that with the financial obligations of attending to surveys and ejections, attending an effort to secure a new county the advocate* would think and hesitate before rushing iato the attempt. Senator Montgomery favored the bill, giving the case of Marion and the recent “run-in” with Dillon. The senator from Marion said that his county Is now confronted with a debt of $10,000, half of which will have to be made by th© old county, and th© amount represents the expenses of the formation of Dillon county, which hurt Marlon and which It will neverherless have to assist in pay ing. Senator Appelt told of a movement now on foot in Clarendon to form a new county and said that Clarendon Is now facing a deficit caused by sur veys for new counties, which would possibly have not been made had the advocates been called oa to pay the bills and at any rate the county would not have suffered financially had the present bill under discussion prevailed at the time. Taking the position that the bill would do an Injustice, Senator Bass opposed Its passage, as did Senator Bates. Senator Graydon favored the bill. "A microbe lurks in every new county boom.” he said, “and the new county enthusiasts are not satisfied ( 1W Inm ChMIIM ItHB fit* (jf AriMfetinNk ' GAMBLING n il J —a a M 1 — T Vukm, oad Mr. Lmris W. 4«$j to Prevest It. 7.; k- "This question Involves kuadisgg. of million* ot dollars and the wei- flsre of millions of people,’ derive* T.

His work Is Intended to ’reach communities unable to secure skilled supervision and Suggestions In school Improvement. Prof. Tate will enter actively upon his new work during the coming summer, and is to be the right arm of the State de partment of education. The development of this work In the hands of Prof. Tate recalls the great service already rendered South Carolina by the trustees of the Pea- body board. In 1878 Dr. Sears, the first general agent of this board, made possible the adoption of the school law formulatled by Hugh S. Thompson, and his colleagues. Three years later he also brought to South Carolina Dr. Edward S. Joynes, pro fessor emeritus of modern languages In the university. In 1886 the Win- throp» training school was founded by Dr. D. B. Johnson, with the as sistance of that great educational pioneer.: Dr. J. L. M. Curry. In llLlO Dr. Wycllke Rose, the third agent of the board, has made possible this work for the too-long neglected country schools, and in giving to South Carolina the services of Prof. If the merchants and o ther public spirited citizens have been visited and the general meeting of hoys, there will be a fli^e list of pri»<*s to announce. Ther© have been many commendable contributions to this cause In various parts of the country during the year. It adds consider able Interest to the work to offer prizes like the following, which have been selected from different lists 1b the South for this year: “A Trip to Washington, $60 In Gold, $10, $5, a nice Buggy, a first- class bicycle, a strong 2-horse plow, a double-barrel shot gun, a $5 hat, a $15 suit of clothes, an up-to-date corn planter, a ton of fertilizer, a two-horse wagon,” and other ar'l- c»p« of utility and value. Some hoards of Trad© and Chambers of Commerce have made appropriations for prizes and some have given fine recognition to the efforts of the Boys* Clutw by giving them banquets and street car and automobile rides. Circulars and Bulletins. Just as soon as the names of all of the boys are assembled In the office of the county superintendent of education, duplicate lists should be sent to Dr. S. A. Knapp, Washing ton, D. C., who has charge of the Farmers’ Cooperative Demonstration Work. These boys will from time to time receive circulars of instruc tion and inforration in regard to the preparation, fertilization, cultivation, seed selection, etc. These circulars famish excellent subject matter for discussion at a club meeting or for a lesson la fohoql. They also lend to further study of farmer’ bulletins and books. * A boy will profit from such f-eesons, discussions and books of the principles taught.

By an overwhelming vote the mo tion to strike out the enacting words was lost and the bill passed, and or dered sent to the house. The bill reads: “Section 1.
