It may not be amiss to here mention the hanging of Shadrach Jacobs. In the year 1809 or 1810 Ezekiel Wooley, a constable, had a state warrant to arrest Shad rach Jacobs, and while riding with Capt. Andrew Feaster to wards and near Jacobs' residence Capt. Feaster was killed by a rifle ball fired by Jacobs. The aecount given and proved in court :n 1890 or 1830, twet yarm afterwards, when Jacobs was ea tried and convicted of the mur- ti, der, was that Jacobs shot Feas- di ter thinking he was Wooley. It tr seems that Wooley asked Feaster ri to change horses not long before the latter was shot, and it being d< near dusk in the evening, Jacobs ti could not discriminate between ft them, Feaster riding Wooley's m horse. Jacobs absconded to the s< wilds of Georgia soon after the c act was committed, and his where- o abouts was discovered twenty ai years after and he was arrested p and brought to Winnsboro, con- z victed of murder and hanged in o 1829 by Sheriff Moore. In this instance was verified the truth of the lives translanted from the German: "Though the mills of God grind slowly, Yet they grind exceedingly And patiently He stands waiting, Till with exactness grinds He all Alt1ough it was evident that 1 Jacobs led Capt. Feaster ,through mistake, yet his purpose was murder, and besides his gen eral character was that of a vil- t lain, and at the time of his trial there was a requisition for his I body from the governor of Geor- i gia.

Washington, -April 29.-In a recent -statement given to the press by the division of insular affairs of the war department a considerable loss -was indicated in the trade of Cuba with the United States for the first 8 months of 1900 as compared with the same period of 1899. It is now explamed by the division of insular affairs .that in the state ent.ahoxei-.mean of g~od and silver coin and bullion was included in the total value of commerce between Cuba and the United States. Eliminating the coin shipments it is ascertained that instead of there being ade crease in the value of the imports into Cuba from the United States, there is an increase of -$1,222,205 for the first eight months of 1900, over the same priod of 1899. It is pointe out that American manufacturers cannot expect to dominate the Cuban trade unless they cater to Cuban tastes. This is true of cotton goods. It costs no more to bring a cargo fromi Barcelona than from New York and the Cubans, like the Mexi cans, have come to prefei- the goods of European markets and' the European manufacturers, true to application, have come tolnow what these pepeprefer and make the gosexpressly for that market. The cotton statistics of the United States present one pecu liar fact, namely, the large impor tation into Cuba drg'n the fis eight months of 1899 n the sub sequent falling off during the same period of 1900. There were im ported from the United States in 1899, cotton goods to the value of $990,310 and in 1900 to the value of $279,867. The division of in sular affairs explains this on the theory that importers expected to secure under valuation if they bought in the United States, but have discovered that under our regime all goods are valued on merit. o An analysis of the statistics o the cotton trade of the United States and the United Kingdom with Spanish American countries and Cuba reveals the following facts: First, the United States is sell ing more than its proportionate share of cottons to Cuba. Second, that the United States is a very modest competitor of the United Kingdom in cottons, and last that the United Kingdom made extra ordinary importations of cotton into Cuba during the first eight months of 1900. Cuba imported $3,500,000 worth of cotton goods. in the 1899 period and.$3,800,000 in the 1900 riod; an increase of $300000. e Unted .Kingdom' follows this increase with $800,000 more, of which $700,000 was taken from the United States and the [ rest fromn Spain. The latter fell back $220,000 woth Germany and 'Fance ch gained some. The compara re proportions are said to be in- I cative of our relation to the o ade of the world in cotton fab- p es. S The United States sells a great t al of raw cotton, but compara- d vely very little of the manufac red. During the foresaid eight a onths of 1900 the United States ( >ld $147,818,688 worth of raw >tton and only $15,263,167 worth f manufactured. Of the latter t nount, Cuba secured nearly 2 s r cent. or three or four times as a uch as Mexico, Brazil or the I ther South American countries CASTORIA oIr ants ad Children. is Kind Yen Rave Alwap Ought Newsa the Ngaatue of 'E S SUMER L FOR NEGROES. The following announcement as o the coming State summer chool for negro teachers has >een issued by the State superin endent of education: "The State summer school for ihe negro teachers in this State wil be held at Benedict college l'nning June 20 and closing Fuly 17. The object of this school, is ast year, is to better train the principals and leading teachers imong the negro race for posi tios of leadership in education; md selections have been made rom among the ablest school superintentents in the State to teach in this school. The faculty will consist of Mr. S. H. Ed munds of Sumter, as principal; Superintendents E. C. Coker of Marion, L. T. Baker of Lancaster, and Prof. D. D. Wallace of Wof ford college. In addition to these, a course in drawing will be given by Miss Getz, supmaisor of drawing in the Charleston schools, and a course in manual training by Mrs. Johnson, who has given such a course in the Charleston schools the past year. Arrangements have been made with the authorities Benedict college to have the bc ' de partspent, the dormi 'es and dinin hail of that - titution open to stu nts o summer school The cost of ard will be $9 for the four wieks, and everything will be made as pleas ant and as comfortable as possi ble for those who attend." Superintendent McMahan has been planning this 4selool for some time, and has given much thoght to it. Apart from the question of imparting sch'olarship and teaching ability to the teach er, he states his main object thus: "To give to the negroes the encouraging assurance that the controling educational forces in the State are not indifferent to his welfare and are not content to leave him to his own unaided eforts; to prevent the .widening of the chasm between the white people and the negroes; to remove prejudices and misunderstand igs; to extend to the weaker race the encouraging aid of the stron ger." In announcing' the second term of this school Superintendent McMahan desires to state three specific reason~s why ambitious n o teachers should attend: 'irt. To increase their scholar ship and skill as teachers and to learn how they measure up to the standard of the best educators among the white people. "Second. To make known their ability and merits to tho~ leading school superitne m~i the State, whose knowl sand recommendations wbud prove most helpful to the negro teach ers seeking to be employed in the graded schools of the towns. Third. To get the white man's point of view in educational mat ters, and thus enlarge the mental horizon."
