AN ORPHAN-HOME That Is Run by An Absolute Reliance on Prayer. THE GREAT CHARITY. Wu Originated in the Mountains of North Carolina by Miss Mottle Perry, Who Describes the Institution to a lie porter. It Now Takes Care of One Hundred and Forty Children. Miss Mattie Perry, ofrMarion, 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 mountain section of this state and prayed 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 has no endowment and depends upon gifts in answer to prayer. These have come in a remarkable manner m m i a a 1 S CI .1 irom iorty stales ana irom t anaaa. 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 supported by prayer and faith. She has now about twelve, whom she is supporting 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 Greenville. 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 undertaken. 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 Elhanen 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 fA Him TVint Rfllipvpth " It may be of interest to some people to know of some of the marvelous 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 voluntarily and without solicitation. Once, when the bread was cut out, and the orphans were waiting for breakfast, a wholesale grocer received a telegram from Memphis, ordering two barrels of flour the pantry and the purse have seen many answers 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 pitieth His children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him," has been learned by Miss Perry and her people. The children at the Elhanen Institute 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 poverty and the most despairing of sin. They are gathered in and sheltered from temptation and fed and clothpH oHnpatpr) nnfl trainpH fnr livos nf usefulness. A department is maintained for * young men and women who are anxious 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 missionaries, some are pastors, some teacher, some evangelists and some Christian citizens. Miss Perry says: "Our hearts have been almost broken many times during the past year as we have had to s^y, 'No' to the worthy and helpless on account of lack of room and caretakers, but we praise the Lord that He is enabling us to enlarge our capacity, and that by September we will nave room for about 300 children." It has fallen to the lot of the writer to travel up and down this broad commonwealth to a considerable extent, both in search of business and pleasure, and without an attempt to flatter the good people of this section it can be truthfully said that we have never seen a lot of people that equals those of our county. < . . TOOK HIM DOWN. An American Who Offered Co Thrash A Grand Duke. The American colony at Monte Carlo is chuckling over the adventure of one of their number, an American millionaire, with Grand Duke Michael of Russia, in which his imperial highness came out second 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 snarling, asking, nay demanding, the right of way in double quick order. However, our American, being leisurely inclined, refused to take notice. When finally he pulled up at ?.??? .l.,k L: j mre uuu, uic uuici umciiiue praiiam alongside and a tall, military-looking gent confronted the American. "Sir," he cried, "you evidently don't know who I am. Please remember for the future that I am Grand Duke Michael 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." answered 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 these people." The grand duke did as he was told, jumped in his automobile and drove away. He hasn't shown up at the Casino since. i A Foolish Notion. There are stranger things in Ger many than Emperor William. There is, for instance, a great editor in o i:_ ?i? _ n? ? dt'i'iiu who is a posiuve reiresning novelty?as much so as the fat woman in the side show or the 500 pound pumpkin. He hopes Japan will not hopelessly cripple the new navy of the United States, principally 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 destruction of the German fleet, but hopeless and complete ruination of our ships by Japan is something that we have not contemplated at length. The Berlin editor has our assurance that we shall not permit our entire navy to be destroyed by Japan. 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 those people talk over in Europe. They have just as much idea of the resources and capabilities of this country as the average Japanese has; and that in spite of the many object lessons 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. Aft?'r Itif{ Game. The recent indictments returned against Alfred and David Morris, Albert Baldwin. Sr, and Frank T. Howard, at Mobile, Ala., for conspiring 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 capitalists, who are all rated as millionaires, 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 lottery 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 associates, among them A. Baldwin, Sr., secured from a reconstruction legislature, the charter of the Louisiana Lotterv mmnflnv fnr o ?\o?-i/vrl /.# ^ M JA/I IVU Wl years. The elder Howard managed the campaign before the legislature, and later was the President of the company, holding that office until his death, when he was succeeded by Paul Conrad, who remained President until the death by limitation, of the company. In its halcon days the Louisiana Lottery company's possible receipts were $5,000,000 a month, aggregate prizes about f>0 per cent, thereof, but unsold tickets were always put in the wheel and often drew the prizes, the largest of which in the palmiest days was $300,000. The Trolley Line. The News and Courier says Mr. Law ranee M. Pinckney has returned to Charleston from New York, where he attended a meeting of the South Carolina Public Service Cori>oration, which Is to connect Charleston with the leading cotton mill manufacturing cities of the State. Mr. Pinckney reports matters to he in a very satisfactory condition. The surveys are in progress and the status of affairs generally s pleasing alike to the prompters of the big corporation as well as the cities and manufactories along the route of the road, which see better transportation facilities with its construction. This is good news, and we hope the lino will soon bo in working order. If you want to ruin your boy iust take his side on every question and dispute he has with his teacher or j your neighbors' children. Just let him know you are with him, right or J wrong, in all his disputes. This will give him a good start in the downward path. I SAFE AND SANE \\ Harmon of Ohio Is Suggested as Such a Candidate. Some Are Of the Opinion, However, That He la Too Safe and Sane to Win. Zacii McGhee, the Washington correspondent of the State says the conservative Democracy haa AtoH iinnn I a candidate tor the presidency, so the tale goes in Washing ton. It is Judson Harmon of Ohio. He was attorney general in President Cleveland's second term. , The information comes from an Eastern Democrat of national reputation, and it strongly appears that the forces of the Parker nomination 9 in 1904 are back of it. Harmon is to be the "safe and sane" candidate as against Bryan, the "unsafe and insane" candidate. That's the program. , .Harmon made an excellent attorney general, and since his retirement has been practicing law in Ohio. He did one notable public service about 3 years ago when President Roosevelt appointed him to look into the alleged violation of the anti-rebate law b the Atch son, Topeka and Sante Fe railroad. ? , , Harmon looked into it and found that Paul Morton, a member of the president's cabinet was the guilty party, for Morton was president during the time the rebates were given. Harmon and his -associate in the work recommended that prosecutions be Instigated against Paul Morton and some of the other officials of the road. This did not suit the administration though, at all, which wanted to prosecute the railroad tracks, the locomotives and things of that sort, and put them all in jail. ' Harmon expressed the opinion that if rebates were given somebody was responsible and they offered to show the president pretty quick who and V,t V,.. IJ * 1 ? ?-? tun, uuv me |>l C11IUCI11 IIUU I1U luett of allowing his friend and cabinet officer tp be prosecuted. Harmon thereupon quit and the case was dropped. , , Harmon is quito much of a man all right, but the opinion is that he is too "safe and sane" for the sentiment of the party and of the country at this time. ? , , ______ WRECK OF A ItAItGE Some Fifteen Persons Were Drowned bj the Accident. The wooden lumber barge Arcadia, which left Manistee, Mich., April 12 for Two Rivers with a cargo of hard wood, has undoubtedly been lost in Lake Michigan with her captain and owner, Harry May. his wife, and about a dozen sailors. The boat has not been heard from definitely since leaving Manistee. Wreckage has been found along the beach from Pent Yater north to Little Point Sauble, and part of it has been identified as the cargo of the lost craft. The Arcadia was a wooden vessel, 119 feet in length, 26 feet beam and wbb built in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1888. Tho Arcadia left Manistee April 12. April 13 and 14 Lake Michigan was swept by such a severe storm that navigation was almost completely tied up.

WITH ROLLING PIN Plucky Wife of Sheriff Knocks Prisoner Senseless. Wife of C. L.

William Jennings Bryan has praises for churches and colleges that refuse to take money 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," ho said, "has reached a point where he sometimes finds difficulty to find people i to take his money. And that I re- 1 gard as the best evidence of the growth of a moral sentiment in this country. It means something when a great church pauses, hesitates, refnses to accept the money until it ; knows how it is made. "I believe the time will come when 1 churches and colleges will refuse to go into partnership in the spending of money immorally made. The influence of that public opinion will > be a powerful factor in the restoring of righteousness. These institutions should say to a man: 'You do ( not make your money honestly; we will not share the odium with you.'" NEGRO KILLED. Killed hi Columbia by an Ex-County Official. There Had Been a Quarrel Between the Two the Night Before the Killing Occurred. The Columbia Record says the shooting to death of a negro hackman named Mose Tucker by ex-Cor ouer wuuam 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 following the undertaker's basket bearing the remains away from the place ana a dozen or more scatter-brained white men looking for a opening to give expression to their race feeling. But Columbia people, both 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 Stanley china hall. He has shot and cut I a number of negroes on more or less provocation. The trouble which ended In Tucker's death appears to have started Thursday night, according to statements credited to a Mr. A. L. Davis, who cannot be located now. Mr. Davis, who was a passenger in Tucker's hack Thursday night 011 Washington street, was attacked by Green with a knife after Green had slashed at the hackman. Mr. Davis had a new hat eut to pieces. But he refused 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 attempted 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 3 8-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, Ixiuis saw the killing, but say they cauuot 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 advanced upon him with the knife lie would kill him. When two newspaper representatives arrived on the scene Green asked them to note that he was "as cool as a cucumber." He then walked around to the sheriffs offlce and surrendered. He has retntned Mr P H WUnn tn riefoiwl him. Green will ilkely appply for i hail in a few days. 1 Killed by Aceident. Adolphus Tniitt, 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. O. Douglass, loan clerk of the Trust Company of America, of New York, confesed 011 Monday to stealing $50,000 in bonds belonging to the company. His salary wus $7,500 a 1 year. A safe and sane Democrat is too much like a Republican to suit the ' rank and file of the Democratic 1 party for a candidate. So Mr. Harmon will have to be excused. There are just a few who have permitted their subscriptions to lag behind. Don't do it. You will die one of these fine days and your friends will want a column obituary published free, and then your daughter 1 may get married and you will expect your home paper to give her an Alice Roosevelt write-up, and all free. It always pays to be prompt in paying your subscription to tne local paper. 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. Our i citizens can make the paper still i more effective by liberal patronage, both in subscriptions and ad- ' vertising. The paper will always 1 endeavor to merit the patronage. 1 Wife desertion is a cowardly ' thing and deserves punishment, but it is to be doubted whether putting the wife deserter in the penitentiary would not make the lot of the wife i 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 1 that chance vanishes. The problem ( is to compel men to support the women to whom they are married. Putting them in a position where i they have no earning capacity will i hardly accomplish the desired end. < t The colored people throw away a great deal of their nard earned money in riotous living. On last Tuesday Frank Felder, a colored man from , Bowman neighborhood, undertook t to paint Orangeburg red, and as a 1 consequence he fell into the hands f of the guardians of the peace. He 1 had acted so outrageously that Mayor Doyle determined to make an example of him. So he fined him on ( different counts $120, which Felder ( paid. This is a pretty big sum for j a man of Folder's means to blow in \ in one night.

Twenty Five Persons Drowned in Crossing Die Keva The Vessel Had Been Condemned And There Are Threats of Violence Against Its Owner. Twenty-five persons are believed to have been drowned by the floundering of the river steamer Archangelsk while she was crossing the Neva, pear the surburb of Irinowka, Russia, late Sunday night. The accident occurred during a Snow storm, when the steamer was two-thirds the way* across the river and was caused by her striking an ice floe, numbers of which still remain in the river despite the lateness of the season. Owing to the thickness of the weather the accident was not seen from the shore, but the shouts for help of those in distress attracted the crews of two steamers which hastily went to the scene, only, however, to find that the Archangelsk had foundered. A number of her passengers, mostly working men. were rescued, but owing to the swiftness of the current, many others were swept under the ice floes. There is no means for establishing definitely the number of victims. The passage across the river was short and no count was made of the passengers, but according to the police of Okhta, a surburb for which the steamer was bound, 31 persons are missing?all workmen or small merchants of the humbler class. The Archangelsk was an old iron steamer open forward and roofea over astern in the form of a cabin She was condemned as unseaworthy last fall, but the owner was about to ?ave the ban removed and the vessel placed in service. The crew was made up of three inexperienced men, the captain and pilot having formerly been a 1 aker. All three of the men were saved. The steamer had scarcely any ballast and when she ran sidewise on a big floe she careened and immediately filled and sank. The catastrophe was over inside of three minutes. Those who were not picked up immediately sunk beneath the icy water. One man scrambled on to an ice floe and was carried down stream for a mile. The wreck was located Sunday afternoon lying on the bottom of the river scarcely a hundred feet from the shore, whither it had been swept uy me swirt current. It was Impossible for divers to descend owing to floating ice. The hanks of the river were crowded all day with friends and relatives of missing persons looking for bodies but none were recovered. It is probable that the dead have been carried down stream for miles. Feeling against the owner of the ferry line runs high and threats have been made to lynch him. THK II ATT I jK IS ON Between President Roosevelt and Senator Fornker. Senator Charles Dick, old time friend and colleague of Senator Foraker, has gone to Ohio to personally conduct the flght of the Foraker against the Taft forces. It Is a move that might have been expected, in fact was expected as a development of the campaign. The interest lies however In the fact that Senator Dick has made the flat announcement that the Ohio Republican machine Is against Roosevelt, Rooseveltism and any Roosevelt candidate. Thus the issue is squarely made, and it will be a ilnish fight for neither the President nor Senator Foraker are in the habit of giving quarter. Outsiders may look on with interest and gain considerable instructions therefrom. It is the first serious and open split in the republican ranks, and the question that will be settled for the rest of the campaign will be whether or not the president's personality and popularity in his own party will avail against one of the most effective machines in one of the worse machine ridden states. STANDS BY THK NEGRO Senator Tillman Scores a Massachuestt's Audience in Ijccture. Just before the conclusion of his lecture In the Academy of Music at Northampton, Mass., Wednesday evening, Senator Henjamin R. Tillman, af South Carolina, asked for a show 5f hands from those who believed Lhat the negro was not the equal of the white man. There was no response. He then asked for a similar vote from those who be.leved in the supremacy of the whites and a few hands were raised. The Senator then proceeded to tell the Massachusetts audience what he thought of their vote, and advised them to study the negro at close range as he had done. The people in the audience got very mad at the plain talk Senator 'i.llman gave them T?m? Many Wives. Dr. John Carver, the alleged bigamist, who is said to have at least seventeen wives, was captured at Fort Smith, Ark. Carver is charged with defrauding one out of $150,900.

DRUGGED, THEN OUTRAGED A Father Shoots and Kills Betrayer of His Daughter. 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 druggedcondition, after learning of the alleged Incident from the lips of his daughter, Judge Loving drove some eight or ten miles before locating thy young man, and he shot him down with a doublebarrelled shotgun, with out waiting for the victim to explain himself. Judge Loving represented Amherst County, before moving to Nelson, in tne 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 superlntendant. Commissioner Payne made the following statement: "Judge Loving learned that Estes had taken his daughter ridiug Sunday night, and he brought tne 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 ot Estes." Judge Loving said: "When I heard the awful story Troni the lips of my dear one T was insane. I waited to learn all tho 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 he in a very nervous condition as the result of the affair, being confined to her bed by the ordeal. TllltKK FOI'M> DKAI) IHef While Asleep From Home Kind Of I'oison. At Danbille, Va., the dead bodies of John Dandridge, Adna Moode and William Spaggins, and the unconscious form of Llllie McCain, all young negroes, between 'JO and 21 years of age, were found stretched out on the floor and on the bed in the servants' room of the Rev. W. H. At will. When after repeated knocking at the door no response was made the door was battered down. The condition of the room indicated that the party had been on a drinking and eating frolic the night before, and that the victims had died while asleep during the night from i)oisoning. Mystery surrounds the case, and the police have been at work on several clues. Negroes acquainted with the dead apparently know more of the cause leading to the deaths than they will divulge. They ar? on the lookout for the husband of one of the women who had been seperated from him. THKY IMI> HIGIIT. Some Irishmen Threw* Aged Kggs at Some Actors. The hearing in the case of th* Irishmen who were arrested for creating a disturbance in the Orpheuni 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 concluded in the court of special sessions, 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 alleged, had hurled aged eggs and other objects at the stage and showed their indignation at the performance in other ways. Only ten of the prisoners were held for trial in the court of special sessions. Judge Fleeming, who presided, characterized the sketch a8"indecent, vulgar and shocking in the extreme," and when the last defendant was dischargd, he said: "No man, especially an Irisman, would sit still and witness a performance that ridiculed his mother and sister."
