Truck Driver Arrested.
A young man driving a truck from
Camden belonging, he said, to Gus
Beleos of that city, was arrested
Saturday night near the Southern
depot in this city by Constable Huey
Montgomery on the charge of speed
ing. The driver had a pistol on his
person when arrested and was re
quired to put up a bond of $40 before
he was released. The driver de
manded a trial which will probably
be given this week. The young truck
driver first came under the observa
tion 6f Sheriff Hunter an<J Constable
W^>ntgoinery on their return from
Charlotte Saturday night with the
negro George Washington. On the
trip home the truck passed the
?rfficers at a high rate of speed, hut
later was passed by the officers
where it had parked on the roadside.
A few miles farther down the road
the trudk again passed the officers'
crtr at the rate of 45 to 50 miles an
hour, they said, and then a race be
gan with the officers and the truck
driver, the 'officers being able to
barely keep in sight at times with
their machine making 50 miles an
hour. The arrest was made when the
I truck driver slowed down probably to
comply with the speed laws while
passing through Lancaster.? Lancas

GREAT WALL OF CHINA
Remarkable Human Achievement
Continue* World Wonder.
It is practically impossible for any
extensive military operations to be
staged in China without having
them reach the great Chinese wall
at some point. Owing to China
vast area, a Considerable war .can
be carried or; in regions not contig
uous to the ancient wall which
stretches across the - country, but it
so . happens V that those factions
among China's four hundred millions
of people which periodically under
take to annihilate each dther find the
natural field of their military opera
tion somewhere near the great wall
around which wars have been waged
for hundreds of years. It is so in the
present rather luring campaigns i
the celestial empire.
The great Wall of China is really
one of the wonders of the world. It
stretches for ? 1,500 miles across the
mountains and plains, making the
border between Mongolia and ancient
China proper. One end is at Suchau
in the province of Kiang Su, and the
other rests at Shanhaik Wan, on the
Gulf of Pe-chi-li. There is a north
ward extension, or wing, to the Sun
gari river.
It is the most gigantic work ever
erected on the face of the earth for
defensive purposes. The walls of an
cient cities were mere baubles by
comparison with this vast bulwark
to protect their fields and cities
against marauding Tartar bands?
robbers, pillagers, plunderers and
cut-throats, to whom the quality of
mercy was no more known than were
the most inscrutable mysteries of
nature.
The Great wall is of an average
height of 22 feet and an average
thickness of 200 feet. At intervals
of something like a hundred yards
for its entire length, are observation
towers which rise 40 feet above the
parapet, and in which, for centuries,
sharp-eyed sentinels were posted to
give warning of approaching ma
rauders.
The wall is built of a stouti^shell
of brick and dressed granite filled
with earth. The character of the
masonry was determined by the re
sources of the territory through
which the wall passed. , Where brick
could be made they were employed,
and where granite was available it
was the material used. The outer
coating is a hard finish of brick and
lime.
1 For centuries, before the advent
of dynamite and siege guns, the
Great Wall of China was an effec
tive bulwark against the marauding
Tartars. Its vast bulk defied them
for its entire fifteen hundred miles
of sinuous length "up hill and down
dqle." They could neither go over
it nor under, neither through it nor
around it. And even now long after
it has outlived its usefulness as a
barrier against vandals, it is intact
for hundreds of miles, so solidly was
it constructed by its fourteenth cen
tury builders. Railroads run through
it at several points, but it is still, and
long will be, a mighty testimonial to
man's resourcefulness and the * im
pressive results which patient toil is
capable of accomplishing.?Albany
Herald.
There does not seem to be much
reason to look forward to appreciable
improvement to conditions at Clem
son college so long as the institution
is? controlled by a self-perpetuating
board of trustees appointed under the
Clemson will and the military feature
is retained. The State ought either
to control Clemson college or the Leg
islature should stop violating the con
stitution by making appropriations
for its maintenance. Things have in
deed come to a pretty pass in South
Carolina when the students at an in
stitution supported by taxation can
not appeal to the authorities of that
institution to redress grievances they
have without subjecting themselves
to the certainty of being sent home
in disgrace. The students at Clemson
college must do the best they can on
food that is not fit for human con
sumption and go ahead and keep their
mouths shut about it because Clem
son is a military institution where
strict diseipl+rre-inust be maintained,
we are told by the board of trustees.
A military college, indeed! Why a
military college? Why not'an agri
cultural college, as its founders in
tended? A military college for the
reason that the military feature
enables the authorities to dig into the
federal treasury for an immense sum
each year, albeit the money is spent
to no good purpose. South Carolina
has in the Citadel at Charleston one
military institution, and that is
enough of its kind for the State.
Clemson should be an agricultural
college, under State control. Then
there would be an cm! of the un
seemly and hurtful wrangles between
the college authorities and the
students.?Fort Mill Times.
E. 0. Ellis, said by officers to have
been one of the heads of Atlanta's
bunco gang which fleeced hundreds of
more than $1,000,000 five years ago,
walked into the county solicitor's
office in Atlanta, last Wednesday and
surrendered saying hi* was ready to
"take the medicine." ElHs had been
a fugitive from justice since officers
put a stop to the bunco operations
and during that time he has been in
Cuba, Europe and finally in Mexico.
It was in the latter country that,
officers recently found him, but he
successfully fought extradition. He
told them, however, that if r.o fur
ther attompt was made to arrest him
he would come back on his own
accord. With th,^ understanding he
was left there.
