ANORPHAN-HOME That Is Run by An Absolute Re liance on Prayer. THE GREAT CHARITY. Was Originated in the Mountains of North Carolina by Miss Mattie Perry, Who Describes the Institu tion to a Reporter. It Now Takes Care of One Hundred and Forty Children. Miss Mattie Perry, of Marion, N. C., who has been spending some days in Columbia, on her return from a visit to relatives in South Georgia in itiated and brought into being one of the greatest works of charity in the Southern States, through prayer and faith. somewhat similar to the work of Muelber, at Bristol, England. The following account of Miss Perry and her work we clip from the Columbia Record: Miss Perry was born in the moun tain section of this state and pray-d her way through college and Bible school. She has had, she says, many wonderful answers to prayer and is shortly to print a book that will give in detail all of the facts and incidents of her- career. Miss Perry has now in operation a home that cost over $70,000, and is taking care of about 140 orphans. Her receipts toward their support in 1906 were upwards of $12,000. The home hasno endowment and depends upon gifts in answer to prayer. These have come in a remarkable manner from forty states and from Canada. Mexico, Spain, India and some dozen other countries. Miss Perry had at one time as many as thirty missionary worKers in foreign fields. whom she support ed by prayer and faith. She has now. about twelve, whom she is support ing in this manner. It may interest many people to know that when the home at Marion, N. C., was first started, it was not intended for an orphan home, but was a sort of institute for literary and Bible training for young men and women who had enjoyed no school opportunities. A similar school is now operated on the top of Paris Mountain, seven miles from Green ville. The school was run on the prayer and faith theory for about two years, and then Miss Perry received, as she says, a clear and distinct calling to do the work which she has now un dertaken. That was about six years ago. At the time she started the work she had just money enough to get a railroad ticket, but. she says, she prayed for help and her prayer was heard and answered to such an extent that the institution is now -taking care of 140 orphan children. She had to turn 'away 150 last year for lack of room. Improvements are now being made in the building, and Miss Perry expects soon to be able to accommodate'-about 450 children. Orphans from eleven states are now being cared for, and every child at least has a chance for a collegiate education, business course and a trade. The institution is called "The El *hanen Institute." It was opened eight years ago on the principle that God hears and answers prayers. The first mottoes put on the walls were, "Is Anything Too Hard for _the Lord?" and "All Things Are Possible to Him That Believeth." It may be of interest to some peo ple to know of some of the marver ous answers to prayer described by Miss Perry. Once the home gave a not for $1,000, due one day after date, and a South Georgia woman sent a check for $1,000 .just in time to meet the note. Many times, Miss Perry said, the pantry and the purse have been empty, but she looked to God for the daily bread, and the need was met by contributions made vol untarily and without solicitation. Once, when the bread was cut out, and the orphans were waiting for breakfast, a wholesale grocer receiv ed a telegram from Memphis, order ing two barrels of flour the pantry' and the purse have seen many ans wers to pray and at a time when help was most needed, after a sore test of faith. The truth that "God is faithful," and "Like a father piti eth His children, so the Lord pitieth 'them that fear Him," has been learn ed by Miss Perry and her people. The children at the Elhanen Insti tute come from the most destitute walks of life-the door step baby, those found in the woods or on the streets-those from homes of pover ty and the most despairing of sin. They are gathered in and sheltered from temptation and fed and cloth ed, educated and trained for lives of usefulness.. A department is maintained for young men and women who are anx ious for an education and who have no money but are willing to work to pay expenses while in school. From this department several students have gone to foreign fields as mis sionaries, some are pastors, some teacher, some evangelists and some Christian citizens. Miss Perry says: "Our hearts have been almost broken many times dur ing the past year as we have had to say, 'No' to the worthy and helpless on account of lack of room and care takers, but we praise the Lord that He is enabling us to enlarge our ca pacity, and that by September we will have room for about 300 chil dren." It has fallen to the lot of the writer to travel up and down, this broad commonwealth to a consider able extent, both in search of busi ness and nleasure, and without an attempt t - latter the good people of this. sectio, it can be truthfully said that we n ::e never seen a lot of people that equals those of our county. _________ THE Norfolk Landmark says "Representative Northern newspa pers are calling on the South to take the lead and give the North a chance to vote for a real Democrat." Nonsense, What they call a real Democrat is so much like a Repubhi cai that you can't tell them apart, We would rather have Roosevelt in the White House than a Democrat of that stamp. A safZe and sane Democrat is too much like a Republican to suit the rank and file of the Democratic party for a candidate. So Mr. Har mn will have to be'excused. GARDEN INSECTS An Interesting Paper in Clemsil College Extension Work. Detailed Directions Given 'How th( Be Easily Destroyed. The last bulletin issued by Clem son college deals with the subject o: "Garden and Orchard Insects." I very interesting chapter is an artiel by Prof. Chambliss in which he tell when to apply insecticides or othe treatment.

News from Lynchburg, Va., tells of tre killing of young Estes by Judge Loving charged Estes with drugging his daughter, Elizabeth, aged 19, and assaulting her while in a drugge'l condition. after learning of the alleg ed incident from the lips of his daughter, Judge Loving drove some eight or ten miles before locating th-: young man, and he shot him down Awith a doublebarrelled shotgun, with out waiting for the victim to explain himself. Judge Loving represented Amherst County. before moving to Nelson, in iwe Legislature. and served as judge of the County Court of Nelson until that Court was abolished by the new Constitution. For three years he has been in charge of the Ryan estate as superintendant. Commissioner Payne made the fol lowing statement: "Judge Loving learned that Estes had taken his daughter riding Sun. day night, and he brought the girl back home drugged and unconscious. Judge Loving waited until he could get the full story from the girl's lips about the drugging and assault and then he took his gun and went in search ox Estes." Judge Loving said: "When I heard the awful story from the lips of my dear one I was insane. I waited to learn all the facts and then nothing in God's or man's power could have stopped me from taking his life. I did it after careful consideration." Miss Loving is reported to be in a very nervous condition as the result of the affair, being confined to her bed by the ordeal. THEY DID RIGHT. Some Irishmen Threw Aged Eggs at Some Actors. The hearing in the case of the ten Irishmen who were arrested for creating a disturbance in the Orphe un theater, in Brooklyn, on the night of January 31, at a performance of the sketch, "The Irish Servant Girl," by the Russel Brothers, has been con cluded in the court of special ses sions, and the defendants-discharged. The demonstration against the sketch was definitely and deliberately planned, and the police arrested more than a score of Irishmen, who, as al leged, had hurled aged eggs and oth er objects at the stage and showed their indignation at the performance in other ways. Only ten of th'e pris oners were held for trial in the court of special sessions. Judge Fleeming, who presided, characterized the sketch as"indecent, vulgar and shocking in the extreme," and when the last defendant was dis chargd, he said: "No man. especially an Irisman, would sit still and wit ness a performance that ridiculed his mother and sister." Too Many Wives. Dr. John Carver, the alleged big amist, who is said to have at least seventeen wives, was captured at Fort Smith, Ark. Carver is charged with defrauding one out of $150, 000.

For tomato caterpillar and fruit caterpillar, apply Paris green in liq uid form or dry or arsenate of lead when insects appear; repeat one week aer- if neessary. kJ1,aN 2LN ._L %Y -0 0 1VLJ_% TOOK HIM DOWY. An American Who Offered to Thrash A Grand Duke. The American colony at Monte Carlo is chuckling over the adven ture of one of their number, an American millionaire, with Grand Duke Michael of Russia, in which his imperial highness came out sec ond best. For some unaccountable reason your correspondent could not obtain the name of the American perhaps, being booked for an early steamer, he wants to tell the story himself on his return. It appears that the man from the United States was joggling along in his auto en route for the golf club, and not suffering from speed mania went rather slowly. Behind him, on the narrow road, was a machine that kept up a perpetual tooting and snar ling, asking, nay demanding, the right of way in double quick order. However, our American, being leis urely inclined, refused to take no tice, When finally he pulled up at the club, the other machine pranced alongside and a tall, military-looking gent confronted the American. "Sir," he cried, "you evidently don't know who I am. Please remem ber for the future that I am Grand Duke Michael of Russia." "Glad to meet you Mike" replied the American, "but, on your own part, remember that we are not in Russia. likewise that I don't care a rap for imperial highnesses." At first "Mike" seemed petrified with amazement, then pulled himself together and shouted menacingly. "How dare you, poltroon, -" "Shut your face," answr--d the American, taking both hands out of his pockets, "another word from you and I will wipe your imperial snout on the grass before all thesepeople." The grand duke did as he was told, jumped in his automobile and drove away. He hasn't shown up at the Casino since. A Foolish Notion. There are stranger things in Ger many than Emperor William. There is, for instance, a great editor in Berlin who is a positive refreshing novelty-as much so as the fat wo man in the side show or the 500 pound pumpkin. He hopes Japan will not hopelessly cripple the new navy of the United States, principal ly because he wants our navy spared to prevent England demanding the destruction of the ships of Germany. It is easily understood that we stand between England and the destruc tion of the German fleet, but hope less and complete ruination of our ships by Japan is something that we have not contemplated at length. The Berlin editor has our assur ance that we shall not. permit our entire navy to be destroyed by Ja pan. We shall be able to run a few small warships up shallow rivers and hide them where the little brown man cannot get at them. And if then they are of use in warding off the dogs of war England stands ready to let loose on Germany-well, we might keep them at home, after all. It is genuinely funny to hear those1 people talk over in Europf~ They have just as much idea of the re sources and capabilities of this coun try as the average Japanese has; and that in spite of the many object les sons we have supplied. What they need is a course of travel, combined with ordinary horse sense and a few newspapers that are willing to see things this side of the water just as they are. After Big Game. The recent indictments returned against Alfred and Dav'id Morris, Albert Baldwin. Sr, and Frank T. Howard, at Mobile, Ala., for con spiring to violate the Anti-Lottery law, have recalled the days when the lottery business was at the heighth of its career in the South. These four men, bankers and capi talists, who are all rated as million aires, are charged with being the owners of the Honduras lottery, whose earnings in the United States are said to have aggregated $500,000 per month. Alfred Hennen Morris and David Hennen Morris, the latter of whom married one of the Vanderbilts, are sons of the late John A Morris, whose father was the Louisiana lot tery king. It was through the late Charles T. Howard. father of Frank T. Howard, one of the men indicted, that the elder Morris and his asso ciates, among them A. Baldwin, Sr., secured from a reconstruction legis lature, the chartei- of the Louisiana Lottery company for a period of 25 years. The elder Howard managed the camaign before the legislature, and later was the President of the com pany, holding that office until his death, when he was succeeded by Paul Conrad. who remained Presi dent until the .death by limi tation, of the company. In its halcon days the Louisiana Lottery company's possible receipts were $5,000,000 a month, aggregate prizes about 60 per cent, thereof, but unsold tickets were always put in the wheel and often drew the priz es, the largest of which in the palmiest days was $:300,000. Shun Tainted Money. William Jennings Bryan has praises for churches and colleges that refuse to take mor.ey that has been made by dishonest means. He spoke recently in the New National theater, Washington, D. C., under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He took for his subject the "Prince of Peace." "One of our rich men," he said, "has reached a point where he some times finds difficulty to find people to take his money. And that I re gard as the best evidence of the growth of a moral sentiment in this country. It means something when a great church pauses, hesitates, re nses to accept the money until it knows how it is made. "I believe the time will come when churches and colleges will refuse to go into partnership in the spending of money immorally made. The in fluence of that public opinion will be a powerful factor in the restoring of righteousness. These institu tions should say to a man: 'You do not make your money honestly; we will not share the odium with you.'" This paper is endeavoring to give its patrons the best service that is possible to give and all that the pat ronage will permit. Our paper is, being frequently complimented on its appearance and the amount and| kind of matter it contains. - Ouri citizens can make the paper still more effective by liberal patron age, both in subscriptions and ad vertising. The paper will always endeavor to merit the patronage.I NEGRO KILLED. Killed in Columbia by an Ex-Coun ty Official. There Had Been a Quarrel Between the Two the Night Before the Kill ing Occurred. The Columbia Record says the shooting to death of a negro hack man named Mose Tucker by ex-Cor oner William S. Green, serving at the time as a bailiff in the circuit court, in Peter Greete's fruit Store on Main street, nearly opposite the skyscraper at 10:30 Friday morning, caused much excitement about the store, and for a time it looked as if conditions were ripe for a riot, the screaming widow of the dead hackman follow ing the undertaker's basket bearing the remains away from the place anca a dozen or more scatter-brained whi iLe men looking for a opening to give expression to their race feeling. But Columbia people, b6th white and black are noted for being cool-headed and the crowd finally thinned out without any effort to precipitate a clash. Chief Daly was on hand with three assistants. Mr. Green has been more or less of a heavy drinker for several years. About a year ago he shot himself in the chest at his rooms over the Stan ley china hall. He has shot and cut a number of negroes on more or less provocation. The trouble which ended in Tuck er's death appears to have started Thursday night. according to state ments credited to a' Mr. A. L. Davis, who cannot be located now. Mr. Davis, who was a passenger in Tuck er's hack Thursday night on Wash ington street, was attacked by Green with a knife after Green had slashed at the hackman. Mr. Davis had a new hat cut to pieces. But he re fused to appear against Green in the recorder's court and the case was dropped. In Green's store at the time of the killing was Mr. Walter Atkinson. a traveling man from Jersey City. He says that at the time Green came into the store Tucker was sitting to the counter writing out his address for him (Atkinson), that Green without a word from Tucker swore at him and shot him. Tucker stooped or staggered toward an open knife on the floor and Green told him if he at tempted to pick it up he would shoot him through the head. Tucker then staggered out of the back door of the store and fell dead in the back yard. The bullet, a 38-calibre, was cut out of Tucker's neck, having entered the left side and severed both the jugular vein and a large artery. The pencil with which Tucker had been writing was also in Tucker's clenched fist. Peter Greete and his son, Louis saw the killing, but say they cannot give details. After standing on the sidewalk, perhaps five minutes, during which Mr. Green remarked to passers-by that he told the negro that if he ad vanced upon him with the knife he would kill him. When two newspa per representatives arrived on the scene Green asked them to note that he was "as cool as-a cucumber." He then walked around to the sheriff's ofce and surrendered. He has re tained Mr. P. H. Nelson to defend him. Green will likely appply for bail in a few days. TRAIN RACES WITH BARN. The Thrilling Experience of a Rail road Engineer. Engineer Scannon of a Chesapeake and Ohio freight train was the hero Thursday of a thrilling race between a Lrain and a barn with several lives at stake. Scannon's train was passing Tobb's Station, Ky., at a good rate, when the high wind that was blowing lift ed a big tobacco barn from its foun dation and started it rolling down hill. Scannon saw the danger at once and immediately threw the throttle wide open in an effor't to outrun the barn. The big barn crashed into the caboose smashing it. The impact also shattered the barn which collapsed on the thack. Train men on the caboose saw their peril in time to escape by jumping. Killed by Accident. Adolphus Truitt, a young man of Lydia, Darlington county, died on Wednesday from accidental wounds received from the gun of his brother while they were out hunting together. Stole Fifty Thousand. W. 0. Douglass, loan clerk of the Trust Company of. America, of New York, confesed on Monday to stealing $50,000 in bonds belonging to the company. His salary was $'7,500 a year. The Trolley Line. The News and Courier says Mr. Lawrance M. Pinckney has returneti to Charleston from New York, where he attended a meeting of the-South Carolina Public Service Ccrporation, which is to connect Charleston withi the leading cotfon mill manufactur ing cities of the State. Mr. Pinckney' reports matters to be in a very sat isfactory condition. The surveys are in progress and the status of affairs geerally s pleasing alike to the pro moters of the big corporation as well as the cities and manufactories along the route of the road, which see bet ter transportation facilities with its construction.- This is good news, and we hope the line will soon be in working order. Wife desertion is a cowardly thing and deserves purighment, but it is to be doubted whether putting the wife deserter in the penitentiary would not make the lot of the wife1 harder than ever. So long as a man is at liberty there is a chance of making him support his wife, but if he is in the penitentiary that chance vanishes. The problem is to compel men to support the wo men to whom they are married. Putting them in a position where they have no earning capacity will t hardly accom'plish the desired end. THE colored people throw away a great deal of their hard earned mon ey in riotous living. On last Tuesday Frank Felder, a colored man from Bowman neighborhood, undertook to paint Orangeburg red, and as a consequence he fell into the hands of the guardians of the peace. He had acted so outrageously that May or Doyle determined to make an ex-1 ampleof him. So he fined him on different counts $120, which Felder paid. This is a pretty big sum for t a man of Felder's means to blow in< in one night. Two other colored sin-1: ners contributedthirty dollars to the I exchequer of the city for helping a Felder in his effort to paint things I ,- .-The Time and el~mocrat. 1 B4 ft with alum food by thi Have a delicious, T come in.

Many Which Have Been Adopted From Sports and Pastimes. Sports and pastimes of bygone days --and even of the present time-have ELaded much to the English language. "Check," which is said to be "shak," a variation of "shah," has not only come into common speech, but has been the foundation of many other words. A philologist traces to it "the checker board." the exchequer" and "a checkered career." "A good move" is also probably from chess. "Stoop to" Is from falconry. "Take the wind out of he sails" is from yacht ing; so is "on the wrong tack." "To jockey," "to show a clean -pair of heels" are from horse racing. Fenc ing has been very fruitful as a source of new words. It 'gives "a hit," "a palpable hit," to "parri a question," or "fence with it," "a home thrust,. "a counter," "to be off one's guard." From pugilism comes "to toss up the sponge," or "to chuck it up." "Put your back into it" is a reminiscence of rowing. Cricket has given many phrases, of which, perhaps, "stumped," "I stumped him Qfn that question," Is the commonest. "Coming up to the scatch". Is probably derived from duel ing. "Ay, there's the rub" is-derived from bowls, though "a rub on the green" is akin to it. Matches Burned in a Day. It is estimated , that the United Kingdom alone manages to consume 500,000,000 matches a day, which comes out at about 12 for every man, woman and child. Smokers probably account for the greater number, so that they will be interested to know that about 30 tons of wood are used up in the form of matches every day, or about 30,000 tons a year. . If one day's consumption of matches were placed end to end they would extend for a distance of about 15,000 miles. Sweden and Norway, where matches are made in enormous quantities, ex port over 25,000 tons of wo'oden mtches every year. In France, where the tax on matches averages 8 cents an inhabitant, the consumption is comparatively small. "Cutler" Ng Derived From "Cut." "Cutler," according to its present use, should mean a man who makes things that cut, but really it has no more to do with "cut" than "cutlass" and "cutlet" have, which is just noth ing at all. "Cut" has some Teutonic origin, but "cutler" comes through French from the Latin "cultellarius," which meant either a soldier armed with a knife or a knifemaker. and "cultellus," a little knife, was the diminutive of "cutler," which among other things, meant a plowshare (or' "coulter"). "Cutlass"~ comes from the same source and "cutlet" is cotelette," a little rib. California Doctors' Trust. The State vledical Board of Califor nia has 46 mandamus suits against it. The allegations are that certain phy sicians who control it are maintaining a doctor's trust and keeping physi cians from other states from securing licenses in California. Among those barred, it is alleged, Is Dr. Charles English, of Washington, D. C., who was the family physician of President Benjamin Harrison. When Preachir~g Did Not Pay.

There are no two full regiments of rurales wor-king in the turbulent territory, under orders from Presi dent Diaz to show noiquater to the bandits when they are captured.

The bandits are inerciless~ with the rurales. A few days ago they found six of the troopers sleep ing and killed.them before they could reach their guns.
