SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. Eighty-Two Scholarships tor Mon Teachers The Course ot Study Improved. Eighty-two scholarships for men teachers ! That is one of the fruits of the educational statesmanship of the last Legislature. This Legisla ture at its first session in 1903 estab lished in tho South Carolina College forty-one normal scholarship?, and at its next session doubled tho number of the scholarships, makiugtwo from each county. This was to pr?vido a new class, but as not all the hold overs will return, thero will doubtless be as many as sixty new scholarships awarded this summer, one in every county and two to a county in many instances. Any person interested should write to l'resideut Honjamiu Sloan or Prof. Patterson Wurdlaw, Cohwubh, S. C. Each of those scholarships pays $10 in money toward living expenses, and exempts thc holder from a fee of *18, which is oxaoted of all other Students, and also exempts from the tuition fcc of #10, which, however, is remitted to any student who makes proof of inability to pay it. It admits a man entirely free and pays about half of his board. This mu nificence of tho State is designed primarily to provide better teachers for the schools, but incidentally it aids poor but worthy young men to obtain a college education and fit themselves for higher things in life. In order that tho scholarships shall go to this class of young mon and not be gobbled up by young fellows who could get to college without the scholarships, tho awards are not made solely with reference to the marks made on tho examination, aud men nineteen years aud over are given the preference. This gives an .opportunity to tho country young man, whose technical preparation may be far less than that of tho fif teen year old graduate of a town graded school, but whose maturity aud earnestness are a guaranty that 'when given an opportunity to study in college he will pull through and make a man of himself. Preference -is still further given to men who have taught school. It is often thc .case that a young man in the coun try, although with poor preparation, attempts to teach the neighborhood sohool. For his own sake and for the sake of the schools he ought to be given a better education before ho he comes settled in a life of inferior work. Hence the special effort of the authorities of tho South Caro lina College is to induce young men teachers who are ill prepared for their work to stop now and go to col lege while they can. The scholar ship men last year were of thc aver age age of 22j years, and the oldest was 33. It is hoped that such men, 'having already developed some taste for teaching, and going to college with a definite purpose, will adhere lo teaching as their profession. If beneficiaries of these scholarships were differently selected, a large pro portion of them would do as college .men so often do, turn their backs on the country forever and become pro fessional men in towns and cities. Hut where they have previously com mitted themselves to public school work, and then stop and go to college with tin: ideal of fitting themselves for botter work in that line, there is Strong probability that for the most part they will return to country -ehool teaching-a result which will richly repay the State for its liberal policy in providing for their training *s teaohors. Each year bettor salaries are being paid in the country schools, and for several years there have been in seve ral counties country schools which college-bred mon of high reputation are proud to teach, Tho simplicity, freedom and beauty of country life, and the growing advantages, with, telephones, mail deliveries, and libra vies, have peculiar charms for the scholar and thc thinker. The pres ent indications are that within this deoade country school teaching in .South Carolina-so long held in dis repute-will be recognized as a - hoice profession. Already six to .line hundred dollars a year, with a little expense for living, is not an in frequent salary. Professor Ward I w's men roadily find desirable places, and tho demand for such mon ancrenses each year. The course of study is specially .designed to improve tho public schools. Last year it included, be .?-."les the usual subjects, special in struotioD in pedagogics, physics, na-1 ture study, and drawing, and the course for next - year has been enlarged and improved and will include sight singing. Tho students had the beuefit of observa tion and practice under a 'critic teacher, and next session will prao tice teachiug in the Columbia public schools, having tho benefit ot' the supervision and criticisms of Co lumbia's best teaohers. The botter to impress tho school | spirit and arouse the young men to a sense of the dignity and magnitude of their profession, there will be a series of leotures by leading school superintendents and principals. Thus this body of young teachers will combine theory and praotice in their studies, and every two or three weeks will be stimulated by a special mes sage from some notable educator fresh from daily coutaot with tho practical problems of the school room. It is thus that tho College is seek ing to execute tho wiso plan of the Legislature for improving the com mon schools of tho State and raising the standard of citizenship. Assem bling within her walls and at the seat of State government annually eighty-two young men teachers from the forty-one counties of tho State, inspiring and broadening them by contact with students from all sec tions of the State and all spheres of life, strengthening their State pride ami their unity of spirit with the best traditions of the State, the South Carolina College will teach them how to study and how to live, and bow to teach, and will leave upon them her mark as men aud gentle men.

Left Unburied. Chefoo, August 26.-Port Arthur is tottering to its fall, but it bas beeu brought to that condition at appall, ing cost to the Japanese. Tho re cent assaults by the Japanese have beon of the most desperate charac ter and were marked by tosses which almost stagger belief. Advices here to-day state that the attempt of tho Japanese to capturo fort No. 1 co?t them fully 10,000 men, killed and wounded. Four desperato charges were made by the Japanese on the fort, but each time they were forced to fall back before the terrible fire of the Russian batteries. The second, third and fourth charges of the Japanese were madu over the corpses of their comrades who had fallen in the first dash. When the attack ceased the ground for 300 yards in front of the fort was literally covered with the bodies of the Mikado's soldiers. Many of tho Japauese were shot down at the ditch surrounding the fort. This as sault was made under the eyes of Field Marshal Oyama, who arrived aeveral days ago, and is directing operations against Port Arthur. In the assault on Port Etsehan the Japanese were more successful, for they carried the position, though *t a loss of about 3,000 men. Two charges in force were made before the Japanese cap tured the positions, so desperately 3id the Russians cling to the fort. In the last charge the Japanese swept into the fort in overwhelming num bers and literally wiped out the Rus siau garrison. It is said that not ono in ten of the Russians escaped. Fort Etsehan is a most important position in the chain of forts sur rounding Port Arthur and it? posses iion by the Japanese gives them a point of vantage from which to use their artillery against the other forts. So constant has been fighting that there has been no time to bury the lead. Corpses in great numbers are itrewn all around the port in various itages of decomposition. Chinese arriving hore say that thousands of vultures are constantly [lovering over the battlefield and at wy lull in the fighting they swoop Jown on the dead. The position of the garrison is lesperate and the fall of the fortress s only a matter of a few days. It is seing held now by the sheer dogged ness of Gen. Stoessel. The Japanese have succeeded, by their various at tacks, in gaining positions from which they are able to pour a cross (ire on the Russians. Food is said Lo be very scarce in the beleaguered fortress and the Russians are fighting against starvation as well as the Ja panese. As rapidly as possible the Japanese aro sending their wounded to Dalny, where they have established immense hospitals. It is reported that there are nearly 15,000 wouaded Hoidiers at Dalli y.

Mrs. Maybriek Trust* In God. Nev? York, August 29.-On board the Rer Star liner Vaderland. which arrived last Wednesday from Ant werp, was Mrs. Florence Chanter Maybriek, recently released from prison in England. Mrs. Maybriek was entered on thc passenger book as Rose Ingraham, a name whioh she took from ber great grand parents. Tbie precaution was not designed to ovade oftioial inquiry, but merely to avoid annoying observation on tho part of fellow passengers. While she made no secret of her preseuce on l)oard and appeared frequently about the docks and saloon, very few were aware of her identity. She is accompanied by Mr.and Mrs. Samuel V. Haydon. Mr. Haydon is her at torney. Mrs. Maybriek refused to be inter viewed, but gave out the following statement : "I regret that tho state of my health, as well as business reasons, prevent my talking to my friends of the American press at this timo as I should like. To thom and to my fol low countrymen and women, I am deeply indebted for their effort in my behalf, and I take this method of expressing my everlasting gratitude as well as words can and also to thank them for their congratulations on my release, which I regret I have not boen able, personally, to acknowl edge. "As my mother was not able to.ao company me, I came over under tho protection of Mr. Hayden, my attor ney, and his wife. "I ara assured by my English phy sician and by Dr. Wilmer, of Wash ington, D. C., who prescribed for me during the voyage, that quiet and mental rest will in time restoro my health. "It is on the advice of my coun sel and my physician that T havo traveled incognito. I cannot ex press the fellings of deep joy and thankfulness with which I return to my native land. At the earliest op portunity I shall visit my birth place, Mobile, Ala., and also Norfolk, Va., my home during my married life.

Huller Holt, a young white man about 26 years of age, has been ar rested at his home in Newberry charged with the murder of Maud Allen in Columbia several weoks ago. The arrest was made by Chief of Police Bishop with the assistance of otheers Keen and Franklin. It is said that there is very strong circum stantial evidence against Holt. Ac cording to a statement given by one of tho otheers, Holt was married in Newberry about a year ago to a \ > man known as Lulu and sometimes "Maud'1 Allen. They separated, however, after being married only a short time and it was not generally known where the woman had gone. 04.BTOHIA. Bean the ?A 'to Kind You Havfl Always Bought He Weit to the Penitentiary Alter All. A peculiar development of the law that permits one county to biro its OOnvicta to another came to lii?ht down in Berkeley and Colleton counties last week. E. E. Harber? son, a white man of "good family," was convicted sonic time ago of man slaughter for killing a woman and sentenced to two years imprisonment. The people thought he had gone to the penitentiary ; but afterward learned that he was over in Colleton county having a good time, going and coming as ho pleased. It de veloped that Colleton had "hired" him from Berkeley and he was proba bly paying the hire out of his own pocket. When the matter was brought to the attention of tho Gov ernor, steps wore taken that resulted in the sending of the man to the penitentiary. As to whether any thing will be done to bring the Su pervisors of Berkeley and Colleton to a sense of the fitness of things has not yet developed. -1 THE NEWS IN BRIEF FORM.. Item? of News ol tho Put Week Gathered from Various Sources. A negro, Sam Hy .ts, was com mitted to jail Monday in Charleston for attempting to poison his wife. The negro is alleged to have put a quantity of lye into the woman's drinking water. Governor Terrell has ordered a court of inquiry to investigate the conduct of the pionio soldiers who failed to shoot when sent to States boro to protect prisoners and uphold the law. Lookout for a nice, clean coat of whitewash. The striking meat butchers in Chicago aro said to have appealed to Booker Washington to come to their aid and call off the negro strike breakers in tho stockyards. Booker can probably qualify as an expert on meat with the experience he had at the President's table. Another now diseaao of tho cotton plant has sprung iuto existonce. This time the cry comes from Pick ens. It is neither boll weevil, blight nor rust, but it kills tho planta. First the roots seem to die. This causes oasting and soon nothing but the bare stalk remains. Several acres arc now affected and the disease is said to be spreading. Information was received in Char leston Monday of another tragedy at Megg?tt8. Thomas Simons, colored, killed Mamie AT?ger, a negress, and succeeded in making his escape. The officers aro hunting for Simons, but on account of the swampy character of the section it is a hard matter to search the woods for a criminal.
