V" VAN WYCK ITEMS.
Van Wyck school closed a suocessful
session last Friday night
withja very entertaining program
of songs, recitations and dialogues
in which the pupils acquitted
themselves remarkably well,
allowing careful training by l'rof.
rv\t - - '
inompson. me patrons are well
pleased with the faithful and of
ficient service of Mr. Thompson
and are gratified that the trustees
have employed him fer another ton
months terra, to begin the fust
Monday in August. Van Wyok
is to ho congratulated on its good
school and we bespeak greater
things for it in the near future, j
Our peoplo were saddened by j
the news of the death of Prof, j
Shurley of Pleasant Valley. VVbile )
he was not of our immediate com
muiiity, he had taught a number
of our boys and girls who were
much attached to him, and our
people felt a great interest in this
good man, and the many good
things lie was doing. We feel
the great loss of such a man and
sympathise with those on whom
the blow fulls most heavily and ;
hope his mantle may fall on anoth- i
er who may fill the places left va- j
cant by so useful a man.

from Chestei last week where she

her parents, Mr. & Mrs. J. 11.
Hardin.She and parson Strickland
are domiciled in their new parsonage
and their visitors pleasantly
greeted and welcomed to their
genial home, but the chief attrac
tion there now is a bright blue eyed,
little girl baby who greets all
with smiles.

Young Harvey Accidentally Kills j
Himself Near Moncks Corner
Special to The Slate.
Monck's Corner, May 11. ? A
sad accident occurred in our neighborhood
today. The young son
of the late John 1*. Harvey of
Pinopolis mounted a mule, and i
taking his fishing rod and gun, i
rode off to a creek. He reached
the creek alright and dismounted, ;
hitched hit: mule, hut poor follow
never reuched the stream ro on joy j
his Hailing. Some how his gun wast
accidentally [discharged und blow
off the whole top of his head. Some !
time after th eacc'dent soino negro
boys passing near by saw his prostrate
body down under the mule
and ran to where his uncle, Mr.
J. S. Stevens, was at work and
notified him. When Mr. Stevens
arrived upon the scene he found
that the lad had been dead for i
some time.

\
And it came, to pass that, one 1
John T. Wilcox who on lust VVetlj
nesduv night was possessed of a
desire to he hutitd alive on the
midway, and who had his desire j
suti tied, arose from his grave uf- j
iim naving speni one nigra under
ground. Wilcox nunc forth >es-j
tcrday afternoon and today tsj
walking the st reets of Char-,
leston just like an ordinary citi :
/.cn and us none the worse for his j
repose in his c?dd grave.
The story of ilo- resurrection of j
Wilcox \e>tir?i.iy afternoon ex-1
posed ihe orealist fake that has i
ever alternated the Charleston j
public. The officials of The Kx-!
position do not hesitate to say it |
was a fraud and they made Wilei
x and I'rof. Henderson or Hen-i
dtickson, leave the grounds yes j
t et day.
l'ho fact is Wilcox was never;
hypnotized or put to sleep as some
people are wont to believe. He j
agreed to bo buried alive for the
sum of ?1(M) and on Wednesday
night ho was laid awar in the
grouud in a cheap pine coftin. A
wooden shaft about six inches
square extending from the head
of the collin to about three feet
above the surface of the grave to
furnish an opening for air. It
was through this shaft that visitors
to the midway wore allowed
to peep at ten cents a peep. It also
served as an opening through
which the buried man was fed and
given drink, lie was fed WedcT
nesday night aud yesterday several
bottles of heer were lowed to
him by means of a string. Occasionally
a cigar or a cigarette
would be dropped into tho shaft
and Wilcox indulged in the pleasure
of a smoke when no one was
looking.
When the rain came yesterday ,
afternoon water began to rise in
the grave. Ills coilin became
damp and clammy and there was
great danger of the aiun being
drowned. Wilcox wondered how
much money hud been taken in
for ho did not like tLiu idea of being
in tho ground unless there was <
m good revenue coming in. Ho 1
yelled up tho shaft to tho ticket
taker and asked how much money
lmd been taken in during tho day. i
When the voice came from the
grave a woman had just peeped in
at the buried man, having just ,
paid the sum of ten cents for the
privilege and the deep, hollow
voice of the man frightened her '
and she ran away. "I say,'' i
said Wilcox, "what are the re 1
1 <
ceipts for the day?" The ticket I
taker placed his uiouth at the
openiag and yelled hack: "Seventy
cents." "Oh, H?11," said \
the buried man, "take me out, i
I'm not going to stay in this hole
for seventy cents "
A fore, ef grave diggers were 1
put to work with shovels and (
spades and soon Wilcox was lifted
from his tomb.
Pugilism Hppears to havo become
tho pastime of the I'nited ?
States senators. Tillman and Mc- I
?
Laurie's bout in tho senate chain
nor started the thing. Then Son- |
fttor Money had a scrap with a
street car conductor and now Senator
MeLaurin and a Soutn Carolina
Republican have had a mix-up. j
The junior senator's latest ontag- 1
onist is a man of tine pbyeiquelf
over six feet tab and well proper- 1
tioned, and that McLaurin got the a
best of the encounter is evidence
that his former athletic training j
?till stood him in good stoad.? u
