Escaping from a turpentine camp

was detained as a convict, Roland
Flowers, a negro, went to the home
of Mrs. Jane Ellerbee, a prominently
connected white woman, two miles
away, at two o’clock Thursday after
noon, and at the point of a gun forc
ed the frightened woman to submit
to an assault. As soon as the negro
left, the woman ran a distance of
two miles, with no shoes on her feet
and but the scant attire the brute
had left on her and gave the alarm.
Officers from Tampa hastened to
the scene In automobiles, and secur
ing bloodhounds were soon on the
£rail of the negro.. Half a hundred

the negro had a gun which he had
taken from the Ellerbee horn* 1 . Whin
commanded to halt, he storied •:>

of the bullets piercing his thigh
Another went through the twy bar
rels of the gun.
The negro was placed In an auto
mobile and hurried to Harcty, a
small station several miles dlsc.-.nt.
Anticipating that the roads wou.t be
watched by the angered citizen',, who
outnumbered the officers ten to one,
the latter took a wide detour aid ar
rived at Tampa with their prisoner

Jail. He Is now under heavy guard
and It is hardly probable thai any
violence will be attempted, for the
present at least.
Mrs. Ellerbee tells a story revolt

The negro asked for a drink of water

He walked Into the house to ait

At Least That Is What Mr. Shoap
Superintendent of Chicago Schools,
Says la the Case.
Five thousand children who attend
the public schools lit Chicago age hab

children in "that city are not auffl-

of the new tariff lawr, delivered- by

thlngs to do with the prosperity of
Texas, why does U* not bring pros

Again replying to Mr. Boutell’s

ducts too high, on the farm. Cot. on

State Superintendent of Elementary

W. K. Tate, of Charleston.
The State says the department of
education Is soon to receive a strong
addition by the appointment of W. K.
Tate, assistant superintendent .at
Charleston, to the position of State
supervisor of elementany rural
schools. This position Is made pos
sible by the liberality of the Pea
body board and the Southern educa
tion board.
The establishment of city and State
systems of public education was for
many years the great aim of the
trustees administering the will of
George Peabody, who in 1867 gave
13,500,000 to the cause of public
education in the South. Next in or
der the Peabody undertook to foster
normal schools in the fourteen South
ern States. The great work accom
plished in South Carolina by the
Winthrop Tranlng School, now Win-
throp College, has been liberally sup
ported by this board, and the recent
endowment of $1,000,000 set aside

Referring to high prloee, Mr.
Henry was Interrupted by Mr. Bou-
tell who said that with prime heavy
beef selling on the hoof in Texas at
$10. he did not see how ttoe people
of Chicago could buy them at $6 on
the hoof.
“Does the gentleman from Texas
want to reduo? the tariff on cattle?”
Inquired Mr. Boutell.
“I will repeal the duty on beef if
the gentleman from Illinois will help
put every member of the beef trust
In the pen,” retorted Mr. Henry.
“To whom does the gentleman re
fer?” asked Mr. Boutell.
“To the Beef Trust.”
"But to whom does the gentleman
refer?”
“Don’t you know?” asked Mr
Henrv. "Then the 15,000 hungry

TOO MUCH SOFT SOAP.
Queer Accident to the Sewer Pipe* at
Orange, N. J.
The bursting of a tank of hot soap
a n»iv days ago has given the sewer
lepartment of Orange, N. Jr, -the it)A.
?est job of sewer cleaning that It has
had since the system was ccmpleted
vears ago. The soap was almost
tolled when the tank burst, and
there is no telling how many tons of
the sticky mass got Into the sewer
pipes. The low temperature cooled
the soap and It congealed on the In
3ide cf the pipes, stopping the mains
completely.
For a mile along the line of the
«ewer away from the factory men are
working at each manhole day end
■tight trying to pierce the viscid
nass. The soap is as hard as it
would be if it had dried for weeks
nd is being taken out of the pipes
'll chunks. It looks as if there was
i long job ahead of the department
and plenty of work for the Board of
Health if it is delayed very long.
TRIED TO CARRY OFF ROY\
phasizes the purpose and practice
which the trustees have consistently
followed.
The labeet experiment Introduced
by Dr. Wyekliffe Rose, agent of the
Peabody board, Is a direct effort to
improve school conditions In remote
country districts. This work has
proved so successful In Virginia and
North Carolina that the board has
deemted It wise to Introduce It also
into South Carolina. A trained
school man will be associated direct
ly with the State department of edu
cation and will devote all his time
and energy to the rural school of the
State.
The man selected for the work la
well known to the profession In every
county. Coming to South Carolina
upon th© Invitation of Julian Mitchell
at that time chairman of tho board
of commissioners of the city schools
of Charleston, Prof. Tate is thorough
ly identified with the educational in
terests. His work in the Memminger
school, In several State summer
schools, and on the State board of
education Is well known and fully
appreciated thoroughout the State.
He Is the retiring president of the
Stab© Teachers' Association and at
the recent meeting In Columbia made
a forceable presentation of the con
nection between education and good
citizenship.
When first approached with the of
fer of the position as State super
visor of elementary rural schools, he
made this characterlztls reply: “A
man with frontier blood in his vlens
is Irresistibly attracted by the diffi
culties and manifold opportunities of
this new work." Prof. Tate will do
lecture work In the university and
perhaps at Winthrop College. It Is
probable that the trustees of the
university will make him professor
of elementary education, thus giving
the students In the pedagogical de
partment the benefit of hla ability
and experience in their preparation
for active duty In the school room.
The girls at Winthrop will also be
afforded a like opportunity to hear
.Prof. Tate’s fotmvs,Jj^*._di|tl. p J ^
thecBuntfyschools do not require all
of his time.
The thanks of the educational de
partment are directly due to Dr.
Rose and Gov. Ansel for securing
from the Peabody board an appro
priation of $2,700 for this work, and
Dr. S. C Mitchell for his assistance
in securing $1,000 additional from
the Southern educational board.
Over 1,000 Boys to Float Special
—Acn .tot Fyetnlnp—Method wad
Purpose of Boys Farm DemoaNtra-
tion Work—Rules Governing Con
tests—Prizes and Awards.
Over one thousand boys of the
state will be in the corn contest this
year. There will also be a number
of clubs compoeed of young ladies.
These corn clubs will be found in al
most every county In the state. Dur
ing the fall there will be an exhi
bition held In Columbia under the
auspices of the corn exposition.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has made the following
announcement with reference to the
boy’s corn clubs.
It Is worth while to get a boy to
form a good purpose and work per
sistently toward its accomplishment.
If a number of boys can be induced
to strive for the same goal, with a
spirit of friendly rivalry, which will
stimulate observation, study, indus
try and economy, then the good re
sults will be increased many fold.
Such Is the plan of the Boys’ Corn
Clubs In th© Farm Demonstration
Work. In order to get the best re
sults it is not only necessary to get
the boys to unite in their efforts,
but it Is also essential that other vit
al forces in the county cooperate.
One of the strong features about the
Demonstration Work Is that it is
co-operative. So in the Boys' De
partment we frequently fl nd the
county superintendent of education
and the teachers, the Demonstration
agents, the business men, the news
papers and the parents giving aid
and support.
Where this work is being Intro
duced in a county, the county super
intendent of education and teachers
can reach the boys in all sections of
the county more quickly and more
effectively than any other agency.
The superintendent can explain It to
the hoys and secure the names of all
boys who will agree to plant one acre
of corn. It Is best to begin with
corn. It is a fin© subject for study,
and our people need to raise more
corn in order to be prosperous and
Independent.
After this Is done a meetlmg of all
boys Interested shouH be held at
the court house for the purpose of
organization and Instruction. Such
meeting should be held as early In
the season as possible so that every
boy may have tlitoe for proper prep
aration of soil and selection of seed.
For the first year it has been found
advantageous to see that first class
seed are furnished to all of the boys
alike. After that each boy should
select and breed his own seed.
Wherever a special agent of the De
partment of Agriculture of the Unit
ed States Is located In a county 11
will be found that he will gladly help
In giving Instructions and advice In
regard to the agricultural part of
the work, either In the country club
or to local groups of boys whom he
Accident Caused by Turn tug Cold

At Bay City. Mich., six men were
Instantly killed and a number of
others seriously, If not fatally Injur
ed, when the holler In Princlngs Saw
Mill at Crump exploded Thursday,
wrecking the mill anrf scattering the
debris 100 feet in all directions. *
The accident is believed to have
been caused by forcing cold water
into the boiler when the water was
low, causing excess of steam.
The accident happened during the
noon hour while the men were in
the holler room of the mill warming
themselves and waiting for the whis
tle to blow to start the second half of
the day’s work.
Two of the dead men, William
Coppersmith and Oscar Shoup were
married. The others killed are Geo.

CALIFORNIA RAISING COTTON.
More Than Fifty Thoasand Acres In
Imperial Volley.
A Los AnreUfs dispatch says ar
rangements have been made with
London and San Francisco banks to
advance $500,000 to finance »he
planting, cultivating and harvesting
of this year's cotton crop In the
Imperial Valley. It is believed that
the land devoted to cotton th's sea
son will exceed 60,000 acres. Glus
will be scattered throughout the val
ley and a compressor, an oil mill ana
a refinery built at El Centro. The
cotton Industry in the Imperial Val
ley has grown so rapidly in the last
two years that It Is now regarded as
one of the most important In S'-uth-
ern California. Profits from lust
season’s crop, which was largely ex
perimental, are estimated to have
1 ©en close to $50 an acre.
NEW COUNTY LAW
STATE SENATE PASSES A VERT
RADICAL BILL.
It Relate* to the Expense* of Form*
tag New Counties and Wko Should
Pay Them.
The paowige of Senator Hgpey’s
bill to require the proponents of now
counties to pay the expense* ot aur-
veya, elections, etc., caused v fight
in the senate Wednesday morning. A
motion to strike, out the enacting
words was mad* when the WH was
called and Senator Harvey, the au
thor, defended his bill with vigor
and earnestness.
The Senator from Berkeley said
that if they had to pay the expenses,
so many ambitious new county advo
cates would not spring up, as is the
case now. He continues that with the
financial obligations of attending to
surveys and ejections, attending an
effort to secure a new county the
advocate* would think and hesitate
before rushing iato the attempt.
Senator Montgomery favored the
bill, giving the case of Marion and
the recent “run-in” with Dillon. The
senator from Marion said that his
county Is now confronted with a debt
of $10,000, half of which will have
to be made by th© old county, and
th© amount represents the expenses
of the formation of Dillon county,
which hurt Marlon and which It will
neverherless have to assist in pay
ing.
Senator Appelt told of a movement
now on foot in Clarendon to form a
new county and said that Clarendon
Is now facing a deficit caused by sur
veys for new counties, which would
possibly have not been made had the
advocates been called oa to pay the
bills and at any rate the county
would not have suffered financially
had the present bill under discussion
prevailed at the time.
Taking the position that the bill
would do an Injustice, Senator Bass
opposed Its passage, as did Senator
Bates. Senator Graydon favored the
bill. "A microbe lurks in every new
county boom.” he said, “and the new
county enthusiasts are not satisfied

will enter actively upon his new work
during the coming summer, and is
to be the right arm of the State de

The development of this work In
the hands of Prof. Tate recalls the
great service already rendered South
Carolina by the trustees of the Pea-
body board. In 1878 Dr. Sears, the
first general agent of this board,
made possible the adoption of the
school law formulatled by Hugh S.
Thompson, and his colleagues. Three
years later he also brought to South
Carolina Dr. Edward S. Joynes, pro
fessor emeritus of modern languages

by Dr. D. B. Johnson, with the as

prizes like the following, which have
been selected from different lists 1b
the South for this year:
“A Trip to Washington, $60 In

a double-barrel shot gun, a $5 hat,
a $15 suit of clothes, an up-to-date
corn planter, a ton of fertilizer, a
two-horse wagon,” and other ar'l-
c»p« of utility and value. Some
hoards of Trad© and Chambers of
Commerce have made appropriations
for prizes and some have given fine
recognition to the efforts of the Boys*
Clutw by giving them banquets and
