' MUCH RED TAPEl In Making Awards of Scholar- 1 ships In Colleges, A CHANGE SUGGESTED Wlnthrop Makes a Great Record. , There Were Thirteen Hundred and Twenty-four Scholarships. , Fifty Thousand Dollars Paid for ' Scholarships in the Schools. That the entire method of allotting beneficiary scholarships in ihd several State colleges is wrong, is the view of the State superinie 1Cent of education, Mr. J. E. SweorIngen. The cost is several hundred dollars annually, the exact amount being unknown because the county boards of education are paid out of their respective county funds and not out of the State treasury. Mr. Swearingen says that all of the examinations should be held the same day and that the papers should be examined for award by the faculties of the respectlv institutions. This is the 1RW with reference to the scholarships at the University With refereuce to Clemsor the county boards of education are the arbltors, even after the papers have been graded by the Cleinson faculty. This means possibly an additional meeting of the county board, for which each member gets $3 per day. There are two appointive members of the board in each county and this would aggregate $356 for the boards to meet to ratify what the faculty had already decided de facto. The scholarship appropriation of the State are as follows: Ciemson $16,600, Winthrop $12,400, university $4,200, Citadel $17,000. Total $59,200. For the vacant scholarships at Winthrop this year there were 1,300 applicants. It has been an immense undertaking to grade the papers. Every applicant must make an average of 60 points on each branch of study. Somo have excellent standing In some studies and fall in others. Furthermore the county boards of education must ascertain if the applicant comes within the restrictions of law as to property qualifications. The legislature intends that these scholarships shall be given to worthy and needy girls. rfhe Wini'nrop faculty is now grading the papers, some 6,000 of them, and the report will be In the hands of the State board of education early in September. Th? -i~ . . iic rvn/iiUllflHIrtl4UHM 11*0111 IDC South Carolina university faculty are already completed. Daily the State superintendent Is IPeHling reports fqom Uhe county fupeiVntendfents wjth reference to the Clemson scholarships, but the entire list Is far from being complete. Mr. Swearingen would like for the county superintendents to report at once as he can not require this Information from the Clemson faculty or trustees. The county boards are required to give preference to those applicants for Clemson scholarships who state that they wish to take the agricultural or textile courses, and the ^pirit of the law is to encourage the study of agriculture, but the law does not make this mandatory lu giving the scholarships. The board of visitors of the Citadel met on the 2i?th of July and grunted permits for 82 young men to stand the examination for Citadei scholarships. These examinations will be held on the 13th of August, making an additional expense upon the counties of $3 per day for each examiner. Mr. Swearingen has found what he considers another injustice?a youth will be successful tn standing an examination foi Clemson and will then la August try for the Citadel vacancy. And yet one other condition which Mr. Swearingen seeks to correct 1b the Inequality in the amounts appropriated. He thinks that Wlnthrop and the university should he on the same plane as Clemson. Wlnthrop has 124 scholarships at $100 each; Clemson 166 at $100 each; the Citadel 68 at $250 each and the university 42 at $100 each. There is frequently a vacancy from a county. In such a case Mr. Swearingen suggests that there Rhould be authority given to the faculty of each institution to a low some worthy, deserving and needy young man from another county to become the beneficiary?for the year year at least. Such an nrraugement could be designed "scholarships at large." In brief Mr. Swearingen suggests that the matter of schnii?rnai~? ,J U.iijio luuin be resolved into a much more simple arrangement. All applicants for all scholarships should appear at the respective court houses on the sam* day. The county hoards of education could see that the restrictions as to property qualifications were met. The questions could he answered and forwarded to the re- 1 spective faculties who would grade them. These papers would of course 1 be signed by number and no one 1 would know the number until the conclusion of the examination of the papers by the faculty. The State board could then declare the result < upon the statement of the county j boards and the recommendations of c the respective faculties. c a Shoot Foreigners to Death. p News from Bristol, Tenn.. says d a shooting affray at Dant, Russell K county, Va., a few nights ago, caus- a ed two foreigners to be killed. f< NARROW ESCAPE I l'OUTHS LEARN SOMETHING I ABOUT GASOLINE FIRE. rhey Had a Hot Time for a While and Will Not Forgot Their Experience Soon. A dispatch from Georgetown to rhe News and Courier says a pleasure trip that came near ending in a tragedy occurred on Sunday night on the Waccamaw river, when a party of young men, returning to Georgetown from Pawley'a Island, had an experience with the combustible qualities of gasoline, which none of them will ever forget. They left Hagley wharf and had come nearly Into Wlnyah Bay, when one of the party remembered that he had left his suit case on the wharf, and ithe launch was Immediately put about to get it. The baggage was recovered and the boat was headed once more homewards, but had not proceeded far when the gasoline gave out. The anchor was lowered and the crew prepared to spend the night, when a passing rowboat was discovered, manned by negroes. The boat was hailed, and with two of the young men in her, proceeded back to Hagley' wharf, where the gasoline tug Dudley was tied up. A bucket of gasoline was secured, and the party started out in fine spirits. In the meantime some of the gasoline had spilt in the bottom of the boat, which was partly covered with water. A lighted lantern was in the bow. and the gasoline on the surface was carried beneath, when an explosion took place, enveloping the whole row boat and setting the two young gentlemen and the negroes into a panic, causing them to jump overboard. Fortunately the tug Dudley was not far off, and all of them managed to get aboard her. When the excitement had partially worn off a fresh supply of gasoline was gotten, the flames on the boat were extinguished and the boat crew undertook once more to get to the launch, where the rest of the party were Impatiently waiting, full of anxiety, as they had seen the flames of the explosion from a distance. The party succeeded in getting to the city without further mishap at \ o'clock in the morning. The young men of the party were Messrs. D. K. Montgomery. P. F. Doyle, M. M. Thomas and others. Messrs. Mont i gomery and M. M. Thomas wore the lieroeB of the gasoline experience. FIGHT IN DARK ROOM. An Italian and His Wife Rattle to the I>eath. At Chicago, after locking their two children in a bed room and fastening all the doors of their flat, Antonio Spizzlrri and his wife, Anna, went into the darkened parlor and tried to kill each other. The woman was shot twice and stabbed twice with a stilletto and died before the police arrived. The husband was shot twice also and he were found near the sofa on which may die. A revolver and a knife the woman lay dead, and another revolver was found beside the husband's body. The disordered room indicated a terrible struggle. Spizzlrri turned on his side as the police, called by neighbors, broke into the room with a sledge hammer. He tore a letter into bits before the police could stop him. This letter, when translated from the Italian, may solve the mystery. It is thought that Spizzlrri was Jealous of his wife. (X)TTON IN RAD SHAPE. So Says The New Orleans Times Democrat Ileport.

Much Harm Has Been Done by His Interview in Which He Said Cot- p ton Was NormalPresident Haver Jor.'tn of tue ^ Southern Cotton Aassociatlon. enters formal potest against a recent interview with Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, which appeared in the New York World, and which that paper claimed to have just had with .the secretary on crop prospects for tho present year. The ex- ^ act language reDorted to have been used by Secretary Wilson is as follows: "The crops will be good every- ( where. There will be a superfluity of ^ work for everybody on the farms? ^ more work than tho farmers can ? find hands to do. The corn crop bids fair to surpass any other crop r in the hiBtory of the country. The cotton crop will be reasonably good, and the balance of the crops above the average all along the line. v "Prosperity is not going to wait p on the tariff or anything else. If any disturbance of conditions arises ^ in the body politic it will have to come from somewhere else than the agricultural district. It is not com- . lug from the farm." ^ "The monthly condition report was ^ due to come out on August 2.'just . one day after the publication of the above Interview with Secretary Wil- . 6on," said Mr. Jordan. "I realized that the interview would be bearishly con: trued by the entire cotton . trade if not corrected at once, and , I Immediately wired Secretary Wilson the following telegram: "I notice an interview attributed r to you 'n the New York World of , August 1, in which you state the j following: 'The cotton crop will be reasonably good.' Are you correctly , quoted? Is not an immediate denial , of this interview in order? Other- | wise Incalculable injury will be done the cotton growers of the South by j speculative interests whjch will construe you to forecast a normal pro- ' duction of cotton. All private re- ] ports issued to date indicate a considerable deterioration of the cottou . crop condition from the last month's , condition report of the Bureau of | Cotton Statistics. The Journal of , Commerce condition reDort. issnoH this morning, 6hows an actual deter- j ioration during the last month of ] three and seven-tenths per cent, ( making present conditions 73 1-10 | which is the lowest condition ever , reported by them. "My own opinion is that the present condition of the cotton crop is the poorest in my recollection, and that, any authoritative statement from you at this time, that the cot01 crop will be reasonably good is not only a wrong statement of actual facts, but will be used to the great injury of the constituency 1 represent Ln the South. "My apprehensions regarding the ( effect of Secretary Wilson's Btate- , meat regarding the cotton crop have been fully verified in the depression ; of the cotton maiket this week of i $3.50 per bale, or practically $40,000,000 in the value of the "crop. ] it is well known that the bureau re- l port which was issued the next day after Secretary Wilson's alleged in- i tervlew in the World, Indicated the lowest cotton condition for August ever made by the Bureau of Cotton i Statistics, and that the report of i the bureau was emphasized by every I private report that came in the last ' week of July. ! "The cotton trade has evidently I placed more weight and value on the i statement of Secretary Wilson as Indicating a normal production of cotton this year than it has on the ex ireuieiy low condition reports issued by the Bureau of Statistics last Mon- ] day. There can be no other logical explanation of the recent hammering of the cotton market operators on the cotton exchanges. It is to be hoped that Secretary Wilson will not longer delay remedying the very serious mistake which he has made. Sentiment in favor of abolishing or making drastic changes in the Department of Agriculture regarding the publication of the bureau reports has for some time been developing, . and if the head of the department of sensational interviews is to nullify the effect of the bureau reports the . sooner the work of the department Is regulated by congress the better for the agricultural interests of the . whole country." . llurned to a Crisp.

Government Agent, Who Thinks It Will Solve the Problem. Ants, the Ifttlo black species hich frequently infest kitchens and antries, may be experimented with ear Duranc, Okia., by the governlent next year to exterminate boll -eevils. Tlie discovery was recenti made by Special Agent S. W. lurphy of the department of agIctilture, who tfs located In that ity, that the ants will devour the oung weevil and the larvae before hoy hatch, and that they are very ond of the weevil as food. The discovery was made entirely y accident in the following manner: Ir. Murphy had visited a local coton field and secured several weeils which were about ready to latch. They were taken to his ofIce for observation under a magniying glass to determine what efTect, f any, the recent hot weather had uid upon them. They were placed >n a newspaper and left upon a ta>le while Mr. Murphy went out to linner. When he returned scores of little ilaek ants were devouring the weerils. He watched the ants with the lid of his glass until he was thornighly satisfied that they were realy devouring the weevils and not ittacking them by chance. He then vrote a full report of his discovery md observations to Dr. Knapp, head >f the bureau of plant life industry, jnder whose direction Mr. Murphy Is working. Mr. "Murphy has made further observations of the habits of these ants ind is confident that in them he has found an Insect which will destroy the boll weevil without damaging the crop. His explanation of the reason why the ants have not already exterminated the weevils is that the ad vent of the latter into this country Is of comparatively recent date, and that since their coming they have spread and increased much more rapidly than the ants. He intends to colonize as many ants as possible in a cotton field near Durant next year, and to assist him in his efforts he has asked that a government expert be detailed. If the ants can be successfully colonized and propagated Mr. Murphy's discovery will prove of untold worth to the cotton-growing industry, and the ants, which are now regarded as household pests, may prove a blessing. LOCK Kit CLUBS TABOOED. Alabama Passes Stringent Prohibition l-aw. Gov. Comer, of Alabama, signed the Carmichael prohibition law passed by the Alabama Legislature on Monday. Under this act it is unlawful to sell or store any liquids containing more than one-half of 1 per cent alcohol. Locker clubs are illegal and the possession of a United States internal revenue license shall be considered prima facie evidence of guilt. Truly, Alabama is a dry State. The Fuller bill and the Ballard bill are still pending in the house. l'hey are more radical than the Carmichael bill and are designed to aid In the enforcement of the latter. The Fuller bill prohibits any sort :>f liquor advertising and throws J very safeguard around the law. The Ballard bill provides for the Impeachment of officers who fail to put the law Into effect. Both of these bills will be passed. The contest over the bill submitting to the people in November an amendment to the constitution ex-luding liquor from Alabama forever will come up in the senate later, [loth sides to the contest claim vicory.

Southern States ? but from Mecjhln<ery | P^lunribjljng^: OOL.U MBI GIVEN TWO YEARS I Gi SEMINOLE AGENT CONVICTED AND IMPRISONED. _ A I A^'nts Who Operated in This State Are Likely to be Prosecuted if They Can Bo Beached. F Much interest Is felt over the State in a special dispatch sent from Monroe, N. C., to the Charlotte Ob- server to the effect that T. C. Whed- ^ bee, an ex-agent of tho Seminole Securities Company was convicted in Monroe on Saturday of obtaining a note from W. C. Heath in payment i of Seminole stock under false pretenses, and had been sentenced to two years for the offense. Tho Columbia Record says so far no such such criminal proceeding has been instituted in this State, but this has not been on account of lack of evidence, and it is not unlikely that tho result of the North Carolina case will inspire a number of simiLar criminal cases in this Stute. TheTe are two strong difficulties iu " the way of BUch a course at present. 1 One Is that practically all of the agents who operated In this State are in the West, and will be very difficult to locate, though there are a few j still living in South Carolina. ' The other Is that the stockholders 1 organization, which was formed in 1 Columbia a short time after the ~ crash came and which appointed a ? president and a board of directors, is practically defunct, the court placing the practical management of the company in the hands of receivers. This organization requested the attorney general to institute criminal proceedings. The receivers, it is understood, have much valuable information and evidence on which to base criminal proceedings, and they would cheerfully go after the agents and officers of the concern in this way, o but they are given no authority to 1 employ council for such work. A circuit judge was applied to for a t special order authorizing such a 1 course, but declined to grant the order, it is stated. c If ic KnfAlo I-.JI..U i i ?? ,D imiuij unci; uial Iiuiiviauai ' stockholders would feel justified in I ' going to the expense of prosecuting | he agents, particularly if they had to employ a det ;ctive to hunt fo: the alleged criminals-, and it is possible that another meeting of the stockholders may be held so as to raise funds for the prosecution which could be dine so much more etcnomically by concentration and organization. Following Is the special from Monroe: "The jury returned a verdlc of guilty at 6 o'clock this evening in the case of the State vs. T. C. Whedbee, charged with false pre \ tense in obtaining a note from Major W. C. Heath for stock in the Seminole Security Company. The judge sentenced Whedbee to two years in the State's prison. The defendant took an appeal to the Supreme Court. "Thus ended one of the most lm- | portant cases from a legal standpoint that has ever been tried in Union county. The trial of the case consumed three days. Major Heath claimed that Whedbee represented to him that $100,000 in securities had I been deposited with Insurance Commissioner Young for the protection of the stockholders of the company.
