Advantages for Boys.
When a child grows up in th
country, it gets a natural training i;
accurate observation. 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.

7 Three Thousand Destitute.
? Barcelona, Spain, August 8?A tere
rible fire baa totally destroyed the
il quarter of Esparraguera occupied by
tbe working people. Three thousf
and families were rendered destitute
and some workmen perished in the
t- flames. Esporraguera is 19 miles
1 northwest of Barcelona.
Fatal Ending of a Quarrel.
Colnmbia State, August 8th.
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 *

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

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

burial of married women in Brazil.

the driver must be bright scarlet,
the four white horses drawing the
hearse must tfa covered with scarlet
nets, and scarlet plumes must deck
the horseB' heads.

2To Bank Esaminsr.
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.

A Physician Healed.
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

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."

A Race Clash. i:
Charlotte, N. C, August 7.?Serious
trouble between negroes and ^
whites is threatened at Henrietta,
the location of one of the largest cot- i
ton mills iD North Carolina. Otis c
Bird and Virgil Cudd, negroes, were \
cut last night and the former will
die. 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.
