The weather v:as seasonable dnr ing the glater pol. ion of the week with about a norn:al amount of sun shine, although widely. v'aryinZ con ditions of cloudiness prevailed in dif feren: sectiuns. The average temperature wag about normal in the northern and cen tral portions of the State and was nearly three degrees above normal in the southern par:. The heat was ex cessive on the 8th and on the 9th, when the maximum temperatures ranged from slightly above 90 to slightly above 100 degrees, the high est maximum for the week having been 102 degrees at Florence on the Sth. The night temperatures were generally about normal and ranged between 65 and 75 degrees. with an extreme minimum' of 57 degrees at Heath Sprngs on the 5th. The average precipitation for the week was about half the normal amount for the same period although widely separated localities had exces sive rains owing to the occurrence of thunderstorms. A few stations re ported no rain for the week. Rain was falling in the coast sections when the week ended while at the same time the interior of the State had clear to partly cloudy weather. The week was free from high winds floods or hail storns.-J. W. Biauer. Section Director. A Story of Horror. Union. Special.-The story of the murder of Mose Hughes, the negro who late Thursday afternoon was found in Tyger river, his hands and feet bound together with ropes and body weighted down with roeks, grows in ghasdiness as the details become better known. That well-known white nil-i are concerned in the crime there seems little reason to doubt. Indeed. it is understood that one ne gro. John Sartor. Jr.. s:ivs that he sawI W. R. Gilliam. whose barn was burned on April 27. presumably by an incendiary, shoot Mose. which confirms the story that reached here from Carlisle that Mose was seen be ing carried wounded and bleeding to the river, where bound, he was thrown in. Whether he was dead or alive then. even the physician, who testified at the coroner's inquest, was unable to state positively, owing to the body being so decomposed when discoveredl. It is learned that last Saturday Mose came to visit his s >n, C lorence Hughes who is in jail charged with two other negroes, Berry Tucker and John Shumpert. with b~urning Gilliam's barn. When he reached the river Sanday returning it was so high he could not cross, so left his mule at Doe Stewart's, colored, and then erossedl by way of the Seaboard Air Line bridge. It is said that he was then and there met by W. R. Gilliam and Douglass English. who sought to extract from him some information as to the fire. It is understood that that day or the preceding one. Gil liam had gotten some liquor from Chester. and that h~e had been drink ing heavily before meeting Mose. Miller Has Resigned. Orangeburg. Special.-Tom Miller. president of the State college for ne groes here. has resigned. The fact of Miller's resignation was reported here and 21i11er when seen stated that he had forwarded the letter of resigna tion to Governor Heyward and he did not care to make public its contenis until the governor should do so. It is a matter of common knowledge that there have been differences in the faculty du'ring the last session. Miller recommended to the board the dis cbarge of two of the teachers, Lillian Mack and Louise B. Fordham, but at the recent meeting of the board in Co lumbia the two teachers were reeleet ed. Miller's charges not being sus tained. Miller's action in suspending one of the pupils was, however, sus tained. ,. Negro Mute Killed By Train.

For a time the entire harbor front was threatened with destruction on the north side. the flames being with diliculty kept within the contines of the wharf of the Merchants' & Min rs' Transportation Company, and )in the south side a stubborn battle being fought to prevent. a wholesale destruction of property by tire preading from the steamship Essex and six barges. which were burned. Three members of the crew of the E.sex perished and two are missing. It is believed that the missing men were burned to death or jumped over board and were drowned. Known ead are: Edward Atkinson, cabin assistant. John Costello, second steward. Manuel Odello. fireman. Five other men were resened with lifieulty by the tug Mary, two of them narrowly escaping death from :he flames or drowning, as they were forced to make flying leaps to the rescuing vessel from the deck of the Essex as the former boat pulled away rom the burning steamer. On the south side of the harbor he rmkinr house of the Moore & Brady Company was damaged and the steamer Minnie Wheeler, of the Baltimore. Chesapeake & Atlantic Stemboat Company. and a cotton hed of the Merchants' & Miners' Transportation Company were par t.iallv destroyed. They caught fire roi the barges and the Essex when :he floated across the harbor after )eing cut loose from their moorings. The steamer Essex arrived in port everal nights ago and was half uin Oanded. She was lying alongside the nuth end of the wharf. and before e'ord could be passed she eaught fire ind was towed out into the harbor. rninz fleicely. Six seows and barges that were lso lying alongside the wharf were gited at once and were soon com ietely destroyed. A .number of hem were towed out into midstream o as to prevent themi from setting re to adjoining property. The berges and seows~ were loaded 'ith cotton 'nd rosin, and the flames )lazed fiercely, the heat from them eing intense. The Essex, which was valued at '30.000, is a total wreck, as is the ~aro on board valued at$150,000. The damage to the Savannah pier >f the Merchants' & Miners' Trans ,rtation (Compj'my amounted to $50,. )000.

Sen.C due to thte ac tiviry of the Lepublican and Demo cratic whips. the House passed a rule sending the railroad rate bill back to conference as asked for by the Sen ate, without ei en an expression of its wishes as t. any of the amend ments to the bitL. The rule was de bated for forty minutes. The leaders participated in the dieussion. the Democrats taki.i- the position that the time was o:)ortune to concur in the sleep)iig cat amendment and in struct the conferees as to the anti pass ifmendment. Although the Dem ocrats were aided by eight Republi cans, they eculd nlot command votes enough to defeat the rule, which was adopted 134 to 9). Mr. Dalzell Presents Rule. When the Hot:se met. Mr. Dalzell. of Pennsylvania, presented a rul e from the commi tee on rules taking the railroad rate bill from the Speak er's table and s-ndin, it to confer ence as requested by the Senate. Mr. Williams. of Mississippi. tke minority leader. desired to offer an amendment. but ivith a shake of his head Mr. Dalzell refused permision. Mr. Dalzell then moved the previ ous question. wihereupon Mr. Wil liams demanded the yeas and nays, and the roll was called. By a vote of 136 to 92. the previ ous question was ordered. Mr. Dalzell explained the parlia mentary status of the rate bill. stat ing that the Senaie had amended the bill and that on the request of the House a conferenve between the two houses had been agreed to. Now the Senate has re-committed the bill to the conferees. Tl e rule proposes to grant the request of the Senate for a further conference. Mr. Williams' Amendment. Mr. Williams, tie minority leader, said that the Hoise was pretty fa miliar with the riles by this time. If they wanted to be eagged. all they had to do was to vote for the rule. If they da ted to *xpress themselves .)n tihe great questionus involved in the rate bill, they would vote no. He said the gentlemat from Pennsylva nia, Mr. Dalzell. 1:ad promised the House that it 'woild have a chance to vote on the ame.ndments. and now brings in a rule poiihitinC an hon est exprssi'. r. Wiiliais then read the amendmer:t proposed to the rule as reported by Mr. Dalzell from the committee oi rules: "Provided. however. That the House conferees a,:e instructed to concur in the Senate amendment de elaring sleeping car companies to be common carriers: an:d are further in structed to insist upon exempting from the provision~ forbidding free passes of officials and employes of the railroads and their immediate famiilies." Statehood Report in Senate. The conference reoort on the state hood bill was withdrawn from, and again presented to the Senate, the new report containing the compro mise provision agreed upon by the conferees of the two houses. There, was some discussion of the power of the conferees to withdraw the re port. andl the withdtrawal was onl~y permitted by a vote. The new re port was not consideired. Much of the remainder of the day wvas devoted to the jill extending to L .36 hours the time tha.t live stock may be carried in transit without unload ing.

A missionary is not only a "man ;ent." he is a maa stnding; he nakes other missionaries. who will ake his place. No life -without hnrdlness is a mis sionary life; if it could be, there vould be no need of missionary lives. "This one thing I do" may be call !d the missionary's motto; only, the 'one thing" includes all kinds of lard work. There is only one "pathway to a :hrone" that is permanent, and that s labor for the kingdom of God. Outline of Eliot's Life. John Eliot, the Apostle to the In lians, was born in England in 1604. kfter study in Cambridge University, ie became assistant of the famous lev. Thomas Hooker in his school, tnd was there converted. He decided at once upon the min stry, and for freedom of conscience ame to America, becoming pastor of he church at Roxbury, near Boston. .Ie held this post for sixty years. He grew interested in the Indians, Lnd aft'er long and patient study he nastered their very difficult lan ,uage. He published a grammar of t, writing at the close "Prayers and yains, through faith, will do any hing." Eliot preached his first sermon to he Indians on October 28, 1646. It 'sulted in the firm conversion of the ioble chief, Waban. So many Indians were soon con rerted that a Christian town was milt, named Nonantum. Eliot intro luced husbandry and the mechanic rts. Tall, of a powerful frame Eliot vent far and wide preaching the gos )el, fearlessly confronting hostile hiefs and infuriated Indian priests, eaching out to the borders of New -ampshire and Rhode Island. His work was aided by Parliament Lnd approved by Cromwell. A so !iety "'for the Propagation of the Yospel In New England" was found d in England. In 1663 Eliot completed his great vmrk, the translation of the entire ible into the Indian language, which vas followed by other books,-Bax ers "Practice of Piety," the Psalms n metre, and a primer of logic. [welve towns of Christian Indians vere established. In King Philip's var the work was greatly impeded, oth whites and pagan Indians con eiving a dislike of the Christian In ians, Eliot himself being reproach d and contemned. But on the com ng of peace the work was gradually estored. Eliot died, May' 20, 1690, at the age if eighty-six, toiling for the Indians o the end. His last words were, 'Welcomel Joy!" A CHRISTIAN READING. Uternate Topic for June 24: What and How Should a Christian Read? Phil. 4: 8. There is no virtue in being "a ~rnt reader" unless what is read re great books. How strange that one who would iot take filth into his mouth will ladly take it into his brain! A book-diet all fiction Is as harm ul as a food-diet all candy. A good rule: at least fifteen min tes a day wvith some great book. If great histories and biographies re to you "dry," your brain is "dry ng up." Taste grows with what it feeds on. ~ou can cultivate a taste for the best eading by reading only the best ooks. *PROTi LEAMO LESE SUNDAY, JUNE 24. Surprised People.-Matt. 7. 22, 23. In nearly all the Scripture which peaks of the conditions and exp~er nces of life beyond the grave there reference to the surp~rise, and even namzement, which will fill men's ids wxhen they discover just what te facts of the new life are. And this irprise will not come from the rangeness of the new experiences. will grow out of the fact that, Eter all, elernal destinies have really een fixed by earthly deeds. The be efs and conduct of to-day, to which e pay so litt~ie heed, are full of eaning for the infinite to-morrow. We do not live with this n mind. he rightEous, in the parable of the st judigment, were plainly astonish r that. what seened to them insig ificant things. with nothing abe-t :em to show that they were to have ernal meaning, had won for them the lessing of the judge. And those on te left hand of the judgment throne ere equally' amazed. "When did ese things happen?"' is the incredu us questien of either class. They ad no memory of these events, which ae Judge declared had been so big ith eternal meaning.
