Last Friday evening while a
crowd of twelve or fourteen Rieh
landitos were returning from West
minster in a straw wagon the team
ran too near an embankment, turn
ing tho wagon almost topsyturvy,
and throwing some of tho occupants
out on the groun I, Miss Claudia
Crowther was one of these unfortu

ed and bruised. A phylscian was
summoned at once, and wo aro glad

has won many friends since her stay
in the community, who deeply de
ploro the accident and hope she will

Miss Cora Hubbard, after a fort

Bob Davis and J. D. McMahan over
spread the Richland churchyard
with sand, which greatly protects
the church carpet from mud, and also
adds to the appearance of the yard.
We may also note that blinds have
been attached to the windows In the
vestibule at the rear of the pulpit,
and we can now look 'the preacher
square ls the face. Other improve
ments have been talked of- the
building of a steeple or bell tower
to the church, and it was suggested
that the Ladles' Aid Society help
build this tower. But don't you
think there would be danger of ano
ther "confusion of tongues"?

HL'SINHSM MEN'S LEAGUE.
Meeting Called for Next Fridayr
Don't Fail to Attend.
There will be a meeting of the
Business Men's League of Walhalla
on Friday evening, the 11th, at 8
o'clock, at Pitchford's Hall.
This meeting is of vital interest to
every business man in Walhalla and
vicinity. You are, therefore, urgent
ly requested to be present and take
part in the business of the meeting.
This meeting Is to be largely In
the interest of good roads, and every
man and woman in Walhalla should
be deeply interested in tho work of
building and maintaining better
roads in our county and for the im
provement of the streets In our
town. Let every one come.
W. M. Brown,
President Business Men's League.
OF INTEREST TO THE SCHOOLS.
Some Changes that May Prove Bcne
llcial In Many Ways.
In response to the call of the State
Superintendent of Education, J. E.
Swearlngen, some time ago, twenty
one of the county superintendents
met in the State library in Columbia
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock fora
conference concerning the recent
changes In school law by the General
Assembly.
Superintendent W. C. Hughs, of
Walhalla, attended this meeting and
was delightod with Its work, speak
ing enthusiastically and iu an inter
esting manner about what was done
and what it ls hoped to do in the
future.
There were three changes of gene
ral Interest. Tho first was with ref
erence to the $00,000 appropriated to
aid weak schools. Now the appro
priation ls made to the district, but
the county superintendent may direct
what school shall get lt. After Feb
ruary 23 no funds can be gotten for
a private subscription, an extra tax
of two mills must be voted and then
for every dollar raised by special tax
the district gets one from the State,
and not two, as under the first act.
The second change was in regard
to giving building aid. Under cer
tain conditions, which the superin
tendent, of education will gladly give
upon application, schools may now
receive aid in improving their school
property by putting up new build
ings. There is such a law on the
statute books now, under the old dis
pensary fund, but the death of the
dispensary also killed that section of
tho law.
The third change was to Section
1208 of the school law. Heretofore
no district could vote on more than
.1 mills extra levy. Now they can
vote on 8 mills If they so desire.
This will allow an opportunity to re
lieve one or two complicated situa
tions in Oconee If taken advantage
of.
Altogether the meeting was very
enthusiastic, and also quite benefi
cial to all who attended.
The State Superintendent said
there ls some probability thal a
small allowance will be distributed
for a summer school for teachers.
The united demand Is for bettor
teachers, and all the county superin
tendents were strong In their appro
val of more stringent regulations
governing the issuing and renewing
of certificates. It is probable some
radical changes will be made along
this line.
Hon. O. B. Martin, of Washington,
and Ira W. Williams were both pres
ent and spoke In regard to the boys'
corn club work. Mr. Williams almost
promised Superintendent Hughs to
meet the boys of Oconee on Satur
day, the 2Gth, as be could not be
here last Saturday.

ter, Mrs. Ernest Grant.
"De Batim?n "Clety" met with our
colored tenant. Sam Parks, last Wed
nesday night, and the questions for
debate were: "Which ls the greatest
benefit to the country, a graduated
man or a graduated woman?" and
"Which is the greatest lnemy to the
country, a drunken man or a tattling
woman?" Parks "gained de point
ever time and proved beyant a
doubt that a graduated woman was
de most hineilt." We suppose, of
course, that this was the alli rina 11 ve
side. The negative won on the lat
ter question.

E. II. LEE VERDICT SUSTAINED.
Supreme Court Says He Must Servo
Three mid Half Yours.
I In tho Supreme Court last week
tho case of ai. B. I^oe, convicted of
manslaughter at tho Novemhor,
1908, term of Court for Oconeo, J.
W. DoVore, presiding judge, was
concluded, the decision of the Su
preme Court sustaining tho lower
court. Leo was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to servo
three years and six months In the
penitentiary or on tho county works
At the conclusion of the trial in the
Sessions Court notice of appeal was
given, and Lee was admitted to ball
in the sum of $1,000 pending the
Supreme Court's action. He has
since been free, but will now have to
comply with the Court's sentence.
E. B. Lee killed Milos A. Smith In
tho Long Crook suction of Oconee on
Sunday afternoon, March 10th, 1907,
in a quarrel that arose betweon the
two, Miles Smith having accused Lee
of informing on him in regard to
Illicit whiskey dealings. Smith was
shot In tho left breast while he and
Lee were locked in each other's
anus. Lee was cut in the back and
on the wrist during the scuffle, but
was not seriously injured, though
the lingers on the hand that was cut
remain stiff.
On tho afternoon of Ibo fatal trag
edy Lee went to Smith's house with
a friend, presumably to buy whiskey.
Lee did not expect to see Smith, but
they met, and a quarrel ensued. Lee
soon left the premises, and when
some distance away fired a pistol.
This angored Smith and he hitched
up hl3 mules to a buggy, put In his
gun and look his wife to the home
of her father, where he loft her. He
kissed her good-bye and set out to
hunt Lee. They met at tho home
of George Watkins. Words were
passed between them. Smith raised
hts gun to strike Lee, and several
bystanders took the gun away from
bim. They then grappled with each
other. Lee cried out, "He ls cutting
me," aud then Lee fired his pistol,
and Smith fell mortally wounded.
There were several eye-witnesses
to the tragedy.
