THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1902.
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

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

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!"

President Hnrtzog Remains at
Cieinson.
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.

One of the incidents of Minister Wq's
visit toMilledgeville that was mucn talked
about, though no reference to it has been
printed, was his remarks to the graduating
class of the Girls' Normal and Industrial
college. Mr. Wu dined at the college,
in the old State executive mansion,
with Dr. and Mrs. J. Harris Chappell,
and before the reception was asked to
sav a few words to the senior class.
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."

ODD FRUITS OF JAVA.
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." This was given and a
i telegram dispatched to the old lady on
the spot, reply paid. The answer came
j in due course, "Vaccinated, but not
I baptized."?A Kerry Man in London
Spectator.
Licking Thumbs to Bind a Contract.
Goths and Iberians completed an
agreement by lickiug and joining their
thumbs, as Scotsmen once did and
Moors still do, and rustic lovers once
betrothed themselves by licking their
I respective master fingers and then
i pressing them together as they vowed
j to remain faithful to each other forever
and a day. Even now an Ulster
man signifies his assent to a proposition
with, "We may lick thooms upo'
that!" if be does not suit the action to
the word like the lieutenant who in
1G42, on being challenged to mortal
combat by his own sergeant, accepted
iho dnnl hv lirkiner his thumb, saving.
"There Is my parole for it."?Chambers'
Journal.
Coins of Early Days.
The early Biblical references to
pieces of silver do not in the original
convey the idea of coins, but of weights,
shekels. 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.
