S. Shorter, W. II. Hawlinson and M. C. Allen of Columbia. After cross-examination the negro admitted having pawned the clothes in Columbia pawn shops. Ho directed the officer* t<? the recovery <>f the lost property. Huston is said to have taken the clothes while another negro was on the look out. After getting the pants, according to officers, the negroes left the eity. They cam? to a watermelon patch and de'eided to have a bito to eat. Having devoured several of the melons, the negro accompanying Hus ton decided to take a nap. He fell fast asleep, and while he ^lumbered Hus ton took * the pants and eventually made his way to Columbia. The owner of the watermelon patch found Huston's companion while he still slept. He questioned the negro and learned the st-ory of the stolen pants. Then he was carried to the Camden jail. Huston was escorted back to Cain den yesterday morning, ? Saturday's State. ? How A Commercial Training Will Enable You To Succeed in Life 1 Kvery year about this tinu- seven! thousand young men ui}/l young wo men having1 completed their school ing, ai.e confronted with the problem, of frisking a living. Despite the fact that this problem is most far reaching ? that it affects their futures for life? too many of them give it very little thought. They have spent from eight to ? sixteen years in school. They are eager to get out into the world of work an 1 begin earning their own way. It' .? job offers it-self, they accept it with out spending a minute in considering what the job may lead to ? whethei it will pay them much more than a living wage. It is from among these people,? a nd they make up fully SO per cent of our public high school and university graduates ? -that the great aimy of failures and near fail ures is recruited. Others, however, have a defini'.c aim in life. They know what they want to do- what kind of careers they desire. Some of these desires may seem nothing more than air castles, i Hut the poor boy who starts life with a determination to become a railroad president ? and plans his future at* j eordingly ? has a far better chance to leave some real footprints on the >ands of time than the son of a rict man who graduates from a university wit h no definite goal. You'd never think of getting aboard a train or steamer without having some definite destination s n mind, would you? The day after you leave *rho?l you are stepping aboard the great train of 1 if. If you have not decided your destination, you d better do it now. Our courses of study are standard and every advantage found in any commercial college will lu; found right here at home. It is a fine opportun ity and should not be overlooked by those .Who are trying to make more of them -i \ e?. One year fioin today, will you be struggling a. >iig at the same old job, at the same o <] salary, worried about the future, i,i ver quite able to make end* meet, standing still while others go ahead? One year from today, will you be putting off your >tart towards .-Uicc-s. filled with ambition one mo ment. uncertain the next, delaying, waiting, fiddling awa\ the precious houi * that will m vei come again?

These organiza tions on foot were followed by a long line of approximately 150 automobiles containing the high officials of the convention and hundreds of delegates, and other negro visitors in addition. Other hundreds, both white and ne gro crowded the sidewalks and curb ing to witness the long procession. The excellent order which has pre vailed in the city throughoijt the big negro convention has caused pleasing comment* on all sides. Not a single unpleasant event has occurred to mar the occasion.

Couldn't Stand Prosperity Chestei July L'8. ? Allen OornWel), ;t negro, was fined $'25 by Recorder I. Clarence Cross for reckless driving about the streets of Chester Sunday night. It seems that Allen came into possession of $1,000 Saturday from a claim collected for him against the Norfolk & Southern Railway, and as might have been expected straight way bought a Ford. So with his new car filled with friends, he was speed ing around a sharp corner going into Pinckney street, when his car struck the coping.- Both wheels on the right side were tarn off, a tire* torn off the other back wheel, and other damages do"e to the car. The crash aroused the neighbors, who heard Allen say "turn out the lights quick," and while one of the occupants of the ear turned them out, he was seen to hasten to a garden nearby and throw something over the fence, which when found by, the officers was a bottle bearing the label, "denatured alcohol." So there was' more than one charge against Allen. Allen had been using crutchcs since the accident, for which he was paid $1,000, but he immediately threw his crutches away when he receive'^ the money, it is said here. Hebrews of Aiken have awarded the contract for the erection of a syn agogue.
