\inerlcan flag and shouting "hurrah
for the American flag." .1. II.
Mitchell, cojoiiel in command of the
regiment, ordered one of his men
to renue'st the American to put away
i lie flag, but before the soldier
could reach the American, angry ci
vilians pounced upon him, tore the
flag from his grasp ami hurled it
into the street Iteforc It could be
reached the flag was torn. In the
light which followed, a number of
civilians were hurt hut none serious

"Pi e> iimpt Ion of l>enlh" Argued on
Insurance I'nlicy.
A news dispatch from (ireenviHe,
S. C.. says: "Preparations are be
ing made by Attorneys Jas. H. Price
and Wilton 11. Karle to test tr?r
the first time in South Carolina, in
which an insurance policy is involv
ed, what is generally known as the
old "presumption of death" law, that
is, where the law adjudges dead a
person who has absented himself con
tinuously for a period of seven
years, without any one hearing if
he is alive Quito an interesting sto
ry is involved in the suit which the
attorneys represent ing Mrs. Martha
Samples and her husband. F M
Samples, filed against the Lifelnsur
ance Company of Virginia .
In May 1904, il is alleged. Kdgar
Samples, the 18 year old son of Mr
and Mrs. Samples took out a life
insurance policy with The Life In
surance Company of Virginia In
October of the same year, it is al
leged. Kdgar Samples disappeared
For over seven years now. it is said
the parents have received no news
from their son. not knowing wheth
er he is dead or alive. The moth
er. it is said, continued paying the
premiums on the life insurance pol
icy of her son all these seven years
Vt'ter payiiiK these for seven years,
it is claimed, she quit and made de
mand upon the insurance company
for the amount of the son's policy.
Having failed to effect a settlement
with the company, so far. it is al
iened. the parents of the missing
bov have brought suit against the
above named defendants Attorneys
Price and Farle are to bring the- suit

I ARE FAMOUS AS LINGUISTS
Germans Are Noted for Their Thor
ough Mastery of Languages ?
Take Up Study Early.
j The Germans are farnotjB for their
thorough mastery of languages. The
university graduates ar? expected to
converse in Latin and to read Greek
authors at sight. Even the pupils
whoee education has been confined to
the public schools can generally use
French without difficulty. The secret
of this mastery, which is bo unusual
lu this country, Is the thoroughness of
the study required.
An American delegate to an educa
tional conference abroad last summer
found a class of girls nine years old
I busy with two French verbs, and us- -
' lng them^ln all varieties of form in
i translating from German Into French.
| In a class ten years old they were us
ing all the regular verbB and the corn
| inon parts of speech In the same way,
analysing, constructing and giving the
i rules In French.
i At eleven years they were using the
| Irregular verbs, memorizing French
poems. writing compositions la
i French, and all the conversation of
j the classroom was Ip French. From
i this they pass to the higher French lit
! erasure, thinking and talking wholly
| In French. A similar course is pur
i sued In English.
A Lack of Obstacles.
i A Scotsman who has worked for
j many years on the railroads among
the highlands of Scotland came to the
: United States in his later years and
; settled on a section of homestead land
' on the plains of the far west
Soon after his arrival there was a
j project for a railway through the dis
trict. The Scotsman was applied to
as a man of experience In Buch mat
| ters.
"Hoot, mon." he said to the spokes
i man of the delegation, "ye canna
build a railway across this country."
"Why not." Mr Ferguson?"
"Why not?" repeated Ferguson with
? an air of effectually settling tho whole
matter. "Why not? Dlnna ye see the
country's as flat as a lloor, and ye
hae nae place whatever to run your
; toonels through?" ? Youth's Compan

Highest ^Phone System.
A telephone exchange three miles

of the high insulation given by dry
