This newspaper expects to have very little if anything in its columns in the way of reports of the State campaign meetings, as we are sure our readers are o- not interested in the speeches of the candidates to any great extent. Every newspaper in the State should refuse to use its columns to advertise these candidates, for no one is benefitted except the office seekers themselves. . The Florence Times says that county has set a bad precedent by holding court on Sunday. This is not the first time that a court of general sessions has been held on Sunday in this State. We remember J that in Clarendon some years ago Judge Benet held court on the Sabbath in order to finish a murder case. He delivered his charge to the jury about four o'clock in the morning and a verdict was rendered a little after sunrise, the jury being in the room only a short while. Ed ^efield county has been noted for man}' years for the famous politicians it has produced, but oue of her best men is decidedly unique in this respect, for he never has nor never will offer for public office of any hind. We refer to Col. Jas. ^ T. Bacon, the gifted editor of the Edgefield Chronicle. Brainy and genial, polished and courtly, he is to our mind the ideal gentleman. But the game of politics is not for him. Rather he is content to be an humble country editor, but his paper brightens the sauctums of I many of the "quill drivers" and he is always the light and joy of the annual meetings of the State Press Association. Here's to you, Colonel, and long may you wave! This leads us, however, to a few remarks on the present Congressional race in this district. Edgefield has had the congressman from almost the time back to which the memory of man runneth not. Hon. Geo. D. Tillman occupied the place for about sixteen years, we believe and the preseut incumbent, Hon. W. J. Talbert, has held it for the past ten years or more, thus giving a consecutive service of about thirty years to Edgefield statesmen. And, even now, that county has a candidate in the race for the nomination this summer! In all seriousness, is it not time, as a matter of justice and right, that some other county get the honor? That there are just as able men in other counties of the district gt we are sure no one will deny. (graded School Buildings. In view of the great need for a suitable graded school building in Bamberg we 5 publish below what State Superintendent ^ Joyner, of North Carolina, has to say P about school buildings: "The work of education, real education, cannot be successfully carried on in a hovel. There is infinitely more in education than that which is to be gained from the mere conning of books and saying of lessons. I am sometimes half persuaded to belief that that insensible education, which comes from environment strikes deeper and lasts longer than all your sensible and formal education. If this be in any measure true how essential is -.<*?h4bl should have a home in which the children could be surrounded ?y daily by such environment as would be conducive to the development, through insensible education, of the finer and higher side of their divine nature. I hope and pray for the coming of the day in this old" State when every school house - shall be clean and comfortable and airy and full of light, and attractive, full of comfortable desks and pictures, and those things that enter into the making of an ottfintlvo Knmp fnr children when the school grounds, instead of being bleak and bare and desolate shall be blooming gardens of flowers, and shrubs, and trees, and vines." Is any comment necessary ? Parents of school children and lovers of education in Bamberg, give us an adequate building and the teachers will do the rest. Clara Barton, of the Red Cross. Miss Clara Barton, hale and active at Ian age well past the allotted three score and ten, and not less enthusiastically energetic than in years gone by, in the great work which she has made her life mission, easily constitutes one of the most interesting of the world's grand old women. Probably no woman now living has had a career more varied or more crowded with achievement. A character study of the founder and president of the American National Red Cross Society appears in the July Delineator, in which this famous woman is seen at her quaint and picturesque home 011 the palisades of ^ the Potomac. A number of photographs showing interior and exterior views of Miss Barton's home and its unusual ^ features is given, with a graphic description of Miss Barton's domestic life. "AshleyJ Who is Ashley?" The boys are telling a new story on the Hon. Josh Ashley. The story may or may not be true, but it is a good oue nevertheless. Away back in the howling days of ten or twelve vears ago Mr. Ashley was a violent Tillmanite. On oue occasion 1 when Mr. Tillman came to Anderson Mr. Ashley and some more of the boys met him at the depot with a carriage." After Mr. Tillman had taken his seat in the vehicle the crowd unhitched the horses and, attaching themselves instead, pulled our noble leader up town to the hotel, shouting and waving their hats and perspiring and enjoying themselves immensely. All this is a matter of history. But times have changed since then and Mr. Ashley is not a Tillmanite any more. The other day, so the story goes. Senator Tillman and a drummer met on the train aud fell to talking, as men will do. In the course of their conversation the drummer remarked: "Senator, they tell me your old frieud, ' Josh Ashley, doesn't think as much of yon as he used to do." "Ashley?" asked the senator, in a puzzled sort of way. "Ashley? Who is Ashley V* "Why, don't you know," said the drummer? "Josh Ashley up in Anderson. Used to a big reformer." "Ashley?" repeated the senator to birn self, pondering deeply. "Ashley? Oh, yes, I remember now," lie finally said, brightening up. "I remember that fellow now. I drove him to my carriage once 1 when I visited Anderson." < Some of the boys told this on Mr. Ash- ; ley in his presence the other day and he | tried to laugh at it. but a sickly little grin j 1 was all he could muster.?Anderson^Ad- j i yocate. J MURDERER LYNCHED. Jiiu HIack Shot to Death for the Murder of Mrs. .fours. , Waj.tkrboro, June ?Tim HIack was ' lynched at New Road last night for the murder of Mrs. J. K. Jones a month ago. ' The information is that Jim Black 1 was carried from Savannah, where he ' had been apprehended, to Ravencl for a ' hearing before Magistrate Behling. As : soon as he had been identified as the one : seen near the place at the time of the 1 crime he offered to tell them all about it ! if they would not burn him. They 1 promised. He then said that he himself had killed Mrs. Jones and threw her in the goat house, while Cain Ford, Ned ] Pryor and a negro whose name could not , be learned watched; that the purpose of the killing was for robbery, he having been told by one of the hands that Mr. Jones had money in the house. He also told of a number of other robberies that had been committed and a number they had planned. Particulars are meagre as to howBlack was killed, but he was probably : shot to-death, after which they hung his body to a telegraph pole by nailing his hands with a railroad spike. A placard , was then placed on his body, but I haven't been able to ascertain what it was. Cain Ford is here in jail,|Ned Pryor was killed some time ago while attempting to escape. There.are two reports as" to "the other negro implicated: one is that he , was found dead in the swamp about two weeks ago and the other is that he lives several miles from Ravenel and that the , mob is now in search of him. Charleston, June 5.?The news was received here this afternoon over1 the , Gordon long distance 'phone that Jim . Black, one of the murderers of the wife of Section Master Jones of the Atlantic , Coast Line, at Ravenel, had been lynched. The negro was arrested near Savannah and carried to Ravenel yesterday for examination. He was committed to the county jail to stand trial at the approaching term of the court at Walterboro. It was while he was being taken from Magistrate Behling's office to Walterboro, by Constable Fields, that Black was taken from the constable by a mob of about 35 men and lynched. ? Black was taken to the scene of the killing and there he confessed to the horrible crime. He implicated a negro named Pryor, who is now being hunted. They both had part in the removal of her body, after the killing, to the dog house, where it was found by Mr. Jones. James Ford, who is said to have kept watch while the bloody deed was done, is in jail at Walterboro waiting trial. Black's body was riddled with "bullets. It was still hauging to a telegraph pole at noon today. another account. We take the following account of the /-? fi*am pkorlnct f\n prpil i71 o* 1 V 11UU1 IUV vinu iVkHVii X^I Post of last Thursday: Jim Black, one of the negroes who took part in the brutal murder of the wife of Section Master Jones, of the Atlantic Coast Line, at Ravenel, S. C., a few weeks 1 ago, was lynched yesterday afternoon near the scene of the crime. The news was received in this city this afternoon over the long distance telephone wires of the Gordon Telephone Company. Black was captured about 12 miles above Savannah a couple of days ago and carried to Ravenel yesterday for a prelimininary examination. The examination was held about noou before 1 Magistrate L. C. Behling, who considered the evidence sufficiently strong to commit him for trial at the next term of the court of Colleton county. The Georgia officers were paid the reward for Black's ' capture and they departed, leaving the negro in the custody of the magistrate. " During the afternoon Magistrate Behling prepared the commitment papers, giving them to his efficient constable, Tom Fields., to take Black to the county 1 jail at Walterboro. Fields set out with his charge, but it appears, according to the report which Fields made this morning to the magistrate, that he had not gone very far from Ravenel before he was held up by a mob of white men and the prisoner taken from him. The mob carried Black to the scene of the crime, i TTTi 1 ^1, * U ? eonfinn v? lieu lie reaoueu tuc uuuocwi iuc otvuv/u master, he broke down and wept, finally confessing that he had taken part in the horrible killing. The negro told all the details of the terrible crime, the purpose of which was robbery. He implicated another negro named Edward Pry or, ac- , cording to the message over the long distanceVphone. One negro hit the wojpsifwith a club while the other cut fierthroat. They both assisted in putting the body into the dog house, near the Jones' cottage. James Ford is said to have stood watch while Black and Pryor were doing their bloody work. Ford is in jail, at Walterboro, awaiting trial. Pryor has not }ret been arrested, but the officers and the mob are hunting ( for him and he will probably meet a fate similar to that of Black. The mob lost no time in stringing up Black. He hardly knew what hit him, for he had hardly reached the top of the telegraph pole, when the mob, which is said to have numbered about thirty- men, , opened fire on him, riddling his body with bullets. The body was still hang- , ing in the air at noon today. Another good story is told of which Lord Rosebery is the alleged subject. 1 On one occasion he went into a large Oxford street establishment to purchase a new hat, and while he stood barehead- i ed waiting to be fitted, a bishop entered j on tne same errana ana mistook me ean for one of the shop assistants. "Have you a hat like this ?" he asked, showing his own extraordinary headgear. Lord Rosebery took it from him and examiued ; it critically before he answered: "No," ( he replied at length; "I haven't got a hat ] like that, and if 1 had I wouldn't wear it!"

O i. km son Ooli.kok, June 5.?Presiicnt Ilenry S. flartzog is to remain at the lead of Clenison college. This was settled to-day. The trustees of the college met in their annual meeting last night. The first matter taken up was consideration of the resignation of Presilent Hart/.og, which was tendered at .the special meeting of the board three weeks igo. The board was in session several tiours last night and again this morning, uid this afternoon the following statement was given out: THE BOARD'S STATEMENT. The board of trustees of Clemson college with a full realization of the gravity of the issues involved, and a sense of our primary obligation to consider only the interests of this great institution, have given most careful consideration to the resignation of President Hartzog now be"r * j? lore US. v> e nave maueauaiciui iuvcougat ion of all the charges that have been presented, and given a patient hearing to all parties desiring to be heard. It seems to us that these charges are chiefly the result of misunderstanding and have been magnified in the minds of the students to a greater extent tliau they deserve. We can find nothing against President Hartzog involving moral turpitude. We realize that mistakes have occurred. We propose to remedy them. We have kept in view the absolute necessity of maintaining and preserving discipline in the college, while giving due weight to all that has been urged as to the relations alleged to exist between the president and the corps. We recall the faithful, efficient and satisfactory manner in which President Hartzog has for five years past administered the business interests of the college. Bearing all these facts in mind and with a realizing sense of the grave responsibilities resting upon us, it is the deliberate opinion of the board that the resignation of President Hartzog should not be accepted. Therefore be it Resolved, That this board respectfully requests and urges President Hartzog to withdraw his resignation and continue his valuable services to this institution. UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED. When the statement was given out it was stated that it had been unanimously adopted, every member present voting for it. -All the members were present except Col. Norris. The sessions of the board at this meeting were held with closed doors and there was no public taking of testimony as at the last meeting. After the decision of the board had been announced President Hartzog went before them and thanked them for"their vindication of him and their expressions of confidence. He said that since it was their desire that he should do sohe would withdraw his resignation and remain as the president of the college. " NO NEED FOR A STATEMENT. This afternoon President Hartzog was asked by this correspondent if he desired to make any statement for the public. He replied in the negative, remarking that he did not feel that there was any occasion for him to make any such statement. He said that he had all along demanded the fullest investigation of his ad ministration of the affairs of the college, and now that the investigation had been held and he had been vindicated and asked to remain the president he naturally felt gratified. He remains at the head of the college and will serve it with the zeal and devotion as heretofore. After disposing of the Hartzog matter the trustees took up other routine matters that naturally come before them at their annual meeting. They will probably be in session until Saturday. Two or three of the younger members of the faculty have resigned, with a view of accepting positions elsewhere, but these resignations would have occurred any way and have no connection with the recent troubles at the college.

Minister Wu made them a very interesting little address and concluded by advising them to get married just as soon as possible and hoping that they would have long and happy lives and many children. His remarks created a good deal of merriment, which he evidently noticed. Later in the evening when his speech was referred to he asked Dr. Chappell: "Do you think the girls will follow my advice?" In discussing the incident later with a number of gentlemen who asked him about it, Mr. Wu said: "The greatest happiness you can wish a woman in China is early marriage, long life and many children."

The Most Common One, the DnOtinn, In the Straii^ent of All. "The fruits of Java," writes a correspondent of the Pittsburg l>ispntch, "form an interesting study in themselves, there are so many and of such strange varieties. The most common is the strangest of all. It is called the duriau and grows like a huge excrescence from the trunk of a tree somewhat similar to our pear tree. The fruit, which is pear shaped, grows to a great size, often several feet in length, and has a j'ellow skin, rough like a pineapple. The most remarkable thing about the durian. however, is its odor To say you can smell it a block off is putting it mildly. A combination of aged eggs and the ripest cheese could not be compared with it. When yon break open the hull to find what can be the cause of all this disturbance tc a ^ your ouaciory nerves aim uuu u ^reai cluster of snow white kernels which taste like some strangely delicious cus tard, your amazement is greater still. Auother strange fruit is the serpenl fruit, so called from the fact that its skin is the exact counterpart of that ol a snake. There are the pomoloe, like a great orange; the potato fruit, which resembles that vegetable in all but its fine flavor; the custard appie, with a yellow custardlike pulp, having a rath er decided taste of turpentine; the poppae, like a melon growing on a tree; the great jack fruit, of rather a coarse flavor; a small yellow fruit, with an unpronounceable native name, incased ir a great bur like a chestnut, and a hun dred other varieties, with none but native and scientific names, some good, some indifferent and some entirely un palatable to any but a native. The orange is rather a scarce fruit, but the pineapple and banana are abundant and delicious, especially the former. There are more than twenty differed varieties of bananas native to Java." YARNS FROM ERIN. The Abanrditlea That Are Born ol Iriah Simplicity. Here are a few samples of the absurdities arising out of the extreme simplicity of some Irish folk; A young man came to confess to ar Irish priest in London whose experiences of the humors of his fellow countrymen would fill a book. "Well, my man," said the priest, "and how do you earn your living?" "I'm an acrowbat your riverenee." The priest was nonplused. "I'll show ye what I mean ir - ' ? ??J xi a brace or snaKes," saiu uie peuiLeut, and in a moment was turning himself inside out in the most approved acrobatic fashion in and out of the pews. An old woman who had followed him to confession looked on horrified. "When it comes to my turn, father," she gasped, "for the love of God don'1 put a penance on me like that It 'ud be the death of me!" I think it was the same good father who, observing the regular attendance at a Lent mission had done nothing tc reform one of his parishioners, told him j so and asked him the reason of it. "Ah, father," he replied, "I can manage the faith right enough, but the morals bate me." On another occasion this priest was ! called upon to marry a man of whom he knew nothing to a girl of his congregation. On investigation he found the would be bridegroom's knowledge of the Catholic faith very limited. "Have you ever been baptized?" he asked. "Well, father, I can't trust me i mr.Mirtr-c tA that" "Are vour Darents living?" "The mother is." "Let's have | her address."

The Mosaic "oblation to God" was a half shekel, and the shekel is explained by Josephus as equal to four Athenian drachmae of a value of about 55*4 cents in American money. The first Jewish coinage under authority was, it is believed, struck by Simon the Maccabee, about the year 140 B. C. It consisted of shekels and half shekels. This coinage had its value signified upon it, "Shekel Israel," in Samaritan characters. The Drem Is the Thlngr. ''She's going in for athletics, she says." "What particular kind of athletics?"
