TRIBUTE TO REV. J. B. COLLEY.
A Friend Speaks of Him--A Sketch
of His Life.
Kev. J. B. Colley was boru In
Plckens county, South Carolina, Feb
ruary 19 184 5, and died at his home
near Salem on November 12, 1908,
and on the 13th was laid to rest in
Salem cemetery. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by the writer,
in the presence of a large congrega
tion of sorrowing friends and rela
tives.
Brother Colley served four years
in the Civil War and was a gallant
and brave soldier, who never shirked
duty. Shortly after returning to his.
home lu Plckens county after the
war, he Joined the Baptist church at
Central. On December 13, 1866, he
was married to Miss Elizabeth Sar
geant, and to their union were born
three girls and two boys. He was
ordained to the Baptist ministry at
the Salem Baptist church on Sep
tember 27th, 1884, and was engaged
In active work as pastor up to the
time of his death, preaching his last
sermon at Mount Carmel on Novem
ber 8th. He was taken sick on Mon
day night following and died on
Thursday. At the time of his death
he was pastor of Mount Carmel and
Stamp Creek Baptist churches, in this
county. Bro. Colley was a Christian
gentleman, genuine and true, I
never saw one more gentle, more ten
ders/with finer powers of discrimina
tion between right and wrong. With
a tender, sensitive conscience, a scru
pulous regard for the rights of oth
ers, loving his fellow-men with a
sincere desire to help them, this ser
vant of God easily Impressed himself
upon' his time and generation, and
drew from every one with whom he
came In contact that splendid appel
lation of Christian gentleman. ?He
was a true man. He had no patience
with the false His high-bred mind
soared to lofty heights, while his
pure soul walked the royal path of
honor and of truth. One of his
great sorrows was the vain show of
life, the hollowness, the emptiness of
society, the make-believes in every
walk, social, political and moral. He
scorned the imnostor and hypocrite,
and not a few times In his life did he
scorch them with burning words. To
him a true gentleman was the finest
type of earthly citizenship.
Bro. Colley was a true expounder
of the GoBpel of Jesus Christ, and
there was none more orthodox and
faithful. He did not deal in plati
tudes, nor high-sounding phrases, nor
did he toll In the meshes of obstruse
science. He had no time to sport
with rhetoric. Ills language was
plain and easy to he understood. His
mission was too great, too sacred, to
permit him to play with the Word
of God. It was our brother's'fond
est dream and the passion of his
soul to hold the Crucified One up to
a serpent-bitten world. But he ls
dead; hts eyes are shut alike to
scenes of joy and sadness; his Hps
are closed forever to the beautiful
message of love and warning.
His Ideal home was built upon
love. Love was the foundation rock
and love the shining crown. Home
to him mennt service, sacrifice, un
selfish devotion, and his home was
with his wife and children, who were
alwavs first In his heart; so that
his heart was his deeper and sweeter
home. He Tvas fond of good com
pany, given to hospitality, and enter
tained his friends royally. He was
kind to strangers, and carried sun
shine into other homes and made
other hearts glad with peace. Many
a home has been made the sadder
and darker because of bis removal.
The heart-broken wife and sorrow
ing children may well weep. They
have a just cause for sorrow. The
light of their home ls gone out and
no other one can All that desolate
vacancy. Yet we shall meet again
where hearts never break with pain
and tears never stain the cheeks. We
shall meet in some fairer clime,
where funerals are no more and fare
wells are never said; where the
flowers bloom, where the sun does
not go down; where the sweetest
untes stir through eternity, and
where every stream ls a crystal river.
Then shall we strike hands and
stand with the blood-washed throng.
Till that joyous and unspeakable day,
farewell! L. M. Lyda.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There ls only one way? to cure deaf
ness, and that ls by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube is Inflamed
iou have a rumbling sound or im
>erfect hearing, ano when lt is en
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which ls
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free.

THE NEW COURSE OP STUDY.
To Be Taken Up by Teachers of Pub?
Bc Behoofs of this County.
The following is the outline pre
pared by some of the last summer
school teachers and members of the
County Hoard for the use of the
teachers of the county in pursuing
their studies during the winter, lt
ls hoped the teachers will provide
themselves with text books suggested
because the board has found that
there is a deficiency in the knowl
edge of the teachres along certain
lines, which deficiency will be over
come by a careful study of tho books
suggested.
For the present only two classes
will be organized, the advanced class
being designated as the "First Sec
tion." ana the next class as the "Sec
ond Section."
First Section.
Algebru-Begin at factoring und
go through quadratics.
Arithmetic-"rom first of book
through percentage. *
English-Syke's Elementary Com
position (Basic), with Dock wood and
Emerson's Composition and Rhetoric.
In connection with the above read
"Ivanhoe," "Tale of Two Cities,"
Macaulay's "Essay on Milton,"
Burke's "Speech on Conciliation with
the Colonies," and Lowell's "Vision
of Sir Launfal."
Latin-Caesar with grammnr.
(This merely suggestive, as the study
of this branch will be optional.)
U. S. History-(A careful study of
this ls requested, as failures on ex
amination are alarming.)
Geography-Redway and Hin
man's Adv; need. The same request
for this as above. (Published by
American Book Co., Atlanta, Ga.)
Second Section.

Grammar gives In understanding
English, it is recommended that as
many as possible will take this
study.) A
U. S. HlBtory-(Same as for First
Section. )
Geography-(Same as for First
Section.)
The above ls the result of the
agreement at the last Sui imer School
for progressive work for the teachers,
and as this ls the first of a four year's
series we urge that the teachers pro
vide themselves with the necessnry
text books and begin at once. This
we feel they will do If they are In
terested In their own Improvement
nnd the raising of the standard of
our schools.
Any Information or assistance will
be given at any time by Prof. J. It.

UR. CRAIG*? WORK ENDORSED.
'A Teacher" Feels that He Has Done !
Much for the Schools.
As the time draws near when the
term of office of the Superintendent
jf Education expires, we wish to 1
2xpro!s? our thanks to Mr. Craig for
the interest he has taken in the
schools and teachers of this county.
?Ve heartily endorse the administra
tion of C. L. Craig as efficient.
Mr. Craig, in his official capacity,
lias done everything possible to ad
vance the best nterests of the
schools and we bespeak the senti
ment of the majority of the teachers
when we say we feel under lasting
abllgntlous to him. Not alone has i
Mr. Craig discharged his official du- |
ties faithfully and well, but he has j
ilso stood to the back:; of tho teach
ers, befriending us in our trials, for,'
Fellow-workers, you know our path
ls not always flowery. Fault-finding
an the part of chronic critics of the
schools (for nearly all communities
have them) were never encouraged
by him, but he always tried to reason
with them, showing them the un
pleasantness and disadvantage of
Jiscord. Being him self a teacher he
knows something cf the injustice
and ingratitude with which people
3ften regard us.
It ls w'th a feeling of regret that
we think ct Mr. Craig's going out of
alfice, though with not the least re
Section on Mr. Hughs, for we think
lie will make an excellent Superln
teulent. We feel safe In saying that
Mr. Craig has done his full duty as
Superintendent of Education, and
has put forth every effort for the
cause and advancement of the
schools In gen?ral.
With best wishes to him and his,
A Teacher.
\ew Afternoon Daily for Greenville.
(Greenville News, 19th.)
Persistent rumors were afloat
throughout the city all day yesterday
[ind last night of the establishment
af a new afternoon paper for Green
ville.
In some quarters the rumor took
definite shape, the name of a promi
nent young Indiana newspaper man,
who is none other than John W.Kern,
Jr., being linked with the enterprise.
Mr. Kern is a prominent young Dem
acrat and a nephew of the recent
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi
dent.
It ls reported that the new con
cern will be a stock company, some
jf tho stock being placed locally.
Definite particulars were searched for
by a News reporter yesterday, but
they were unavailable.
Coupled with the rumors afloat was
the statement from an apparently re
liable source that the first Issue of
the new paper may appear between
now and January 1st.
TRIED TO KILL ROCKEFELLER ?
Dllleials Say Switch was Thrown by
Miscreants.
Utica, N. Y., Nov. 19.-It became
known that a freight wreck which
recently occurred on the New York
?md Ottawa Railroad at Derrick, thir
teen miles south of Tupper Lake
Junction, in the Adirondacks, was
the result of a deliberate attempt to
derail n passenger train to which
was attached the private car of Wil
liam Rockefeller.
Railroad men insist that the switch
was opened by some other than a
railroad employee, as the lock had
been broken off. It was found lying
beside the side of the track.
Considering the fact that the
woodsmen in the section of the Adi
rondacks surrounding Mr. Rockefel
ler's preserve feel bitterly toward
bim, Hie belief is general that the
:raln wreck was deliberately planned.

This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no

A LONG BALLOON TRIP.
From St, Louis, Mo., to Grove, Ga., In
Twenty-Four Hours.
Tallulah Falls, Ga., Nov. 20.-The
balloon "Yankee," which left St.
.ouis at noon Wednesday, landed yes
terday at Grove, Ga., seven miles
west of Tiger, Ga., and shortly after
descending it was deflated and made
ready for shipment laBt night to St.
Louis. The balloon landed in M. L.
Ar.Midairs cotton field, Ave miles
from the nearest railroad and tele
graph station. Mr. Lambert said he
planned making a trip to New York,
but the balloon was driven South
ward by the winds, and as lt was
daylight he landed.
Pilot Albert Lambert and Capt. H.
B. Honeywell had announced their in
tention of trying for the Lahm cup,
the trophy given for long distance lu
America. They were unsuccessful,
the record of Capt. * H. DeForest
Chandler of 700 miles not being ap
proached. The "Yankee" covered
about 375 miles.
Story of the Trip.
Tiger, Ga., Nov. 20.-Mr. Lambert
Bald:
"Wt left St. Louis at 12.16 p. m.
Wednesday. At Boyd, ind., we made
a landing, stopping 45 minutes. We
then proceeded, but after going only
30 miles landed again and talked to
Borne people.
"We ascended again and stayed up
all night. We might not have re
mained up during the night, but for
the fact that lt appeared the wisest
thing to do, owing to the forest fires
beneath us. Smoke bothered us a
good deal, and at times was so dense
that we could not see the earth.
"The point where we landed is
about 450 miles from St. Louis,mid
our course was a semi-circle."
MBS. J. M. NEVILLE DEAD.
An Old and Greatly Loved Indy Has
Passed Away.
(Anderson Mail, 20th.)
Mrs. Jane M. Neville, widow of Hie
late Rev. J. J. Neville, died at her
home on Manning street at ll o'clock
last night, after an illness of severnl
weeks. She had been in a critical
condition for a week and her death
was not unexpected.
Mrs. Neville was a Miss Sharpe,
and was born in Newberry In 1841.
She moved to Anderson when about
1 5 years old and lived here with her
brother, the late Capt. W. S. Sharpe,
until her marriage in 1857 to Rev.
J. J. Neville. Mr. Neville was a mem
ber of the South Carolina Conference
and was stationed at different places
lu the State until his retirement from
the ministry a number of years ago.
They then lived for a while at Seneca,
but later moved to Anderson, and
had been living here ever since. Mr.
Neville died about a year ago.
There was never a more .devoted
couple than Mr. and Mrs. Neville.
They were never blessed with chil
dren, and their affections '.ere lav
ished solely on each other. Mrs. Ne
ville was a splendid woman, and was
a great help to her husband during
the long years of his service In the
ministry. She was held In the high
est esteem by a wide circle of
friends, and there will be the deepest
regret on account of her death.
