Wednesday, April 8,1908. Pelion School Closing. To the Editor of The Dispatch: The Pelion Public School had its closing exercises last Friday night, April 3rd. One of the speakers, Prof. L. T. Baker of the University of South Carolina, was not present due to missing train connection. After a short prayer by Mr. Josh J. Shealy, there was four declamations rendered by the following students: Mr. Branson Holley whose subject was, "Blessings in Disguise;" Mr. Ralph Clayton, "Patrick Henry on Liberty"; Mr. Henry Laird, "Lee's March to Appomatox" and Mr. Sammie Gardner, "Vacation Time." The teacher gave a medal to the one that delivered the best declamation and after a very close contest the judges decided that Mr. Ralph Clayton had won and Mr. J. D. Haltiwanger in a few well chosen remarks presented the medal. Prof. Henry P. Stuekey, of Winthrop College, was next introduced. He spoke on the subject of 4'Agriculture and School Gardens for the Public Schools." After briefly discussing our dependence upon, and relations towards, plants, animals and the soil, he discussed at more length the value of having elementary agriculture taught in our schools and school gardens connected with these schools. The next and last speaker was Prof. Cleon W. Stuekey, the one who has striven for six long months for the welfare, uplifting and common good of all those connected with the Pelion school. He took for his subject, "Unity." He appealed to the people to stand united, for in unity is strength) in disunion is weakness. Said he: "All is well in the school, church and community as long as all stand handin-hand united." After thanking the people for the many hospitalities shown him during his stay among them, he announced that the pleasures of the evening would be extend ed farther, ana soon couples of young folks were participating in a cakewalk. All enjoyed the occasion. The winners were: Mr. Titnmie Gardner j with Miss Tressie Fogle, Mr. W. L. Yonce and Mrs. Minnie Best, Mr. Harry Fogle with Miss Katie Smith, and Mr. Herbert Fogle with Miss Carrie Smith. We walked but all in vain. However, we wish such occasions would happen oftener. All went away glad that they had been there. C. Pelion, April 6. Young 2Can Sills Himself. Vernon Stancil, the third son of Mr. C. W. Stancil, of Sumter, shot himself through the head Saturday night about 11 o'clock. He was found un-' conscious a few minutes after the shot was fired and taken to the MoodOsteen Infirmary, where he died soon afterwards. The ball entered the temple in front of the ear and came out on the other side of the head at about the same place. The young man, who was 19 years of age, was bright and of a very pleasing address. No reasons for the act can be positively determined, and they will probably remain a mystery. Ti. f- *J i.1 i. 1. - 1 J "1 J ?1? J.L la twuu mat ne nau ueen unnjaug lately, but some of his nearest friends deny that he was addicted to the habit. It is known that he had lately applied to several places for work without success, but this would not account for the suicide, as he had a home and a number of friends who would have helped him. Silling in Bufea Shop. As s result of a shooting scrape iu a negro barber shop in the town of Yorkviile on Saturday afternoon John Warlick iu dead, his brother, Jeff, is painfully though not; seriously wounded, and Lawrence ftfarley is in jail charged with murder. All are young white men. The exact facts connected with the occurrence are not known, but Lawrence Marley, John, James and Jeff Warlick were in the barber shop when Marley and John "Warlick, between whom, it is said, bad blood previously existed, became involved in a quarrel when Warlick applied a vile epithet to Marley.

Warlick repeated the former ep- , ithet and made for Marley, using his ' | fists freely, and at this juncture the latter drew a pistol and commenced to shoot. When he finished four 1 shots had been fired and John War- 1 lick lay dying and Jeff was supposed 1 to be mortally wounded. ( John Warlick, the dead man, re- * cently finished serving a short term J in the penitentiary, having been convicted for beating an old and compar- 1 atively helpless Confederate soldier ' in a most brutal manner. 1 For Constipation. .

The Birmingham (Ala) News, Jan. 25, 1908, says: "For ten years Bir- ! mingham has not enjoyed so wonderful a period as it has since Jan. 1. So far prohibition in this community has proved a powerful agency in the betterment of the public morals. It has reduced the criminal record of this community in a striking degree. The number of arrests for drunken- 1 ness in January, 1908, was scarcely , one-sixth as large as average when saloons were in operation. There were only thirty-seven arrests in January 1908, as compared with 246 . for December, 1907 (under license), 1 and an average of 197 per month for i the year 1907 (under license). ? > MlWMDJ WW MHMWi The First National Bank of Bates- . burg has money to lend to their '( farmer patrons who can furnish satisfactory security. 4'Tell your friends about it."

Several of the passengers ( were in the caboose of the freight j train and escaped serious injury, but \ McKittrick was caught between the 1 broken timbers under the passenger j locomotive. i t < Tillman in Atlanta Sanitarium. 1 Senator Tillman is now in Atlanta, 1 where he entered the Roberson Sani- , tarium on Monday.

Jones,, a prominent woman, shot and killed a negro burglar at her home at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. At the time the shot was fired the burglar was engaged in a hand-tohand struggle with her aged father, Barney Rhody, and was attempting to pull him out through a window, where, it is said, a negro confederate stood ready to aid the burglar.
