54 SOME "BILL ARP" STORIES. J
"Eii Perkins Gives Sketch of the Great
I Humorist, Who Died Last Week.
Id the "Kings of Platform and Pulpit"
Eli Perkins writes the following breezy
introduction, rehearsing some interesting
stories of Bill Arp in presenting one of
Lis lectures:
The whole life of Bill Arp has been
humorous and no man will stop work
quicker and more cheerfully than he to
hear a good joke. When I asked him
one.day if he really ever killed many
Yankees, he said:
"Well, I don't want to boast about myself,
but I killed about as many of them
as they-did of me."
' Speaking of pensions one day, Mr. Arp
said every Yankee soldier ought to have
a pension.
"But they were not all injured in the
army^ were they?" I asked.
"Yes, they all did so much hard lying
about us poor rebels tbat tbey strained
their consciences."
Bill Arp tells of an occurrence in New
York when he came here to lecture in j
Checkering hall. He said he was stand-j
in'g On the steps of the Astor House one
afternoon with a friend, when a man with
a decidedly military bearing hobbled up.
He greeted my friend as he passed.
"That's a fine soldiery looking chap," I
? said.
"Yes; he's a veteran?Colonel Jones,
p of the G. A. R."
"Did he lose his leg on the battle field ? "
"Yes; at Gettysburg."
. "Ah! Repelling Pickett's charge, I
* suppose."
"No; a monument fell on it."
Theyjtell this story in Rome,Ga., about
the major. They say that in the summer
of 1863 Bill Arp was in the Richmond
hospital. The hospital was crowded with
sick and dying soldiers, and the Richmond
ladies visited it daily, carrying with
them delicacies of every kind, and aid all
they could to cheer and comfort the
suffering. On one occasion a pretty miss
of sixteen was distributing flowers and
speaking gentle words of encouragement.
to those around her, when she heard a
soldier exclaim, "Oh my Lord!" It was
f Bill Arp.
'Stepping to his bedside to rebuke him'
for his profanity, she remarked ; "Didn't
I hear you call upon the name of the
Lord ? I am one of his daughters. Is
there anything I can ask him for you ? "
Looking up into her bright, sweet face,
Bill replied: "I don't know but you
could do something for me if I wasn't
married."
"Well," said she; "what is it ? "
Raising his eyes to hers and extending
l^is hand, he said: "As you are a daughter
of the Lord, if I wasn't married, I'd get
vou to ask Him if He wouldn't make me
Bis son in law."
Major Andrews, a Yankee captain, was
telling some jolly rebs in Georgia about
his experience at Bull Run.
"The only time that I ever really felt
ashamed in my life was in that Bull Run
battle," said the major. "My horse fell
under me, and I was obliged to ride an
army mule during the rest of the engagement,
and he finally carried me into the
rebel lines."
* " * ? - * - - - ? ?'4. 11 ?
"les, i rememoer iae lociueui wen,
said Bill Arp, who was standing by, "I
found that mule with a U. S. brand on him
the next day after the battle."
"You did, really?" said the major?
hardly expecting to be corroborated so
promptly. "Where did you find him?"
asked the major.
Bill saw that there was no door wide
open as he replied, "Stone dead behind a
fail fence."
"Shot?"
r "No; mortification."

we do know that it is under strict taw.

Death of Mrs. John W. Cram.
Mrs. Jno. W. Cram, a beloved Christian
lady of this place, passed away last Sunday
morning, August 30th, 1903, at the
home of Mr. I. W. Bowman, after an illness
of ouly a week. She was stricken
down with a congestive chill a few days
previous to her death, and though desperately
ill, it seemed that the worst had
passed and the family thought her much
better. Sundav morning a sudden change
for the worse came and she passed away
in a few hours.
Mrs. Crum was sixty-eight years old
and for many years had been a very
earnest and consistent member of the
Methodist church. She was a tender,
loving wife, and a mother devoted to her
children.
The remains of the deceased were
taken to Denmark for interment. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Mr. Beckam in the- preseuce of many
relatives and friends who had assembled
to pay their last tribute of respect to the
memory of this good woman.

"A WORD TO PARENTS." tl
I,
iupt. Evans of Spartanburg Schools c!
Calls Attention to Parents' Failure
to Uive Child Home Discipline. L!
In the.printed report of the Spartan- ti
>urg city schools, Superintendent Evans tl
las the following under the caption, c
A Word to Parents," that will well t
epay a perusal: t
" Our course of study consists of nine c
grades of nine months each, and is so c
irranged that a pupil may begin at six ?
rears of age with the lirst grade and t
inish in the ninth grade at fifteen. But a
;he grades are steep, and it is necessary 1
for many children to stay more than nine i
jrears at school to finish the coarse.
"Six years of age is entirely too young <
for the majority of children to enter auy *
school of higher grade than the kinder- t
garten. Those who come to us at seveu l
do more and better work than those who
enter at six. Yet some parents try to
omnortrio their little ones into the first
fo 6 -
grade before tliey are six, because their ]
sixth birthday wili come before the close
of the term. Many of the children iu
our high school are too young and undeveloped
to do the work expected of them.
Some of them have failed; many have
liarely passed. Primary children cannot
do secondary work.
44 Parents are admonished to keep their
little children out of school until they
are seven at least, that they may get a
more thorough and adequate home training.
The home is the first iu point of
time, and, indeed, if it be worthy of the
name of home, is the most important
school which the child attends.
"A wise and thoroughly trained teacher
said, not loug ago, that ber chief difficulty
was not -with pupils, but with parents.
Many parents are obstacle* in the way
of the true education of their children.
| Instead of co-operating with teachers
; they antagonize them; instead of assisting
in the difficult work, thev throw
obstacles iu the way of that work. They
are always questioning the wisdom of
the discipline, asking special favors
which involve interruption of study, and,
consciously and unconsciously, in mauy
small ways hindering the work which the
school is trying to do for the child.
44The chief injury, however, which
mauy parents do the school is in sending
their children without thai general training,
that steady discipline, that influence
for refinement which the school cannot
give, but upon which it must build. The
rawness and crudity of many children
who come from well-to-do homes is
amazing. These children know almost
nothing of the things which in intelligent
homes are in the very atmosphere. They
have no fund of general intelligence;
they are untrained in manners, in speech,
in voice and iu mind, and the school has
had to do for them in a very limited time
and under very difficult conditions tfce
work that the home ought to have done
under the best possible circumstances and
with the fullest possible time.
"annrftnte still roniDlain that they
have to do at home for their children the
work the teachers should do at ccfiool.
If these people would only teach their
children at home to speak properly, to
tell the truth and not to use meaningless
slang in their conversation with one
another; to modulate their voices and
not shriek and scream on the streets, and
to be courteous and polite in their
manners?work which every parent is
expected to understand?and stop criticising
methods and text-books which
they do not understand, their cbildreu
would be better educated both morally
and intellectually."
Parents and the Schools.
The attention of parents is directed to
an extract from the report of Superintendent
Frank Evans of the Spartanburg
city schools which appears in The State
this morning. Mr. Evans is one of the
best superintendents in the country and
has given much thought to the problems
presented by the public schools. What
he says is well worth reading and carefully
digesting. He criticises the desire
of parents to put their children to school
as soon as possible. This is an evil that
is not confined to Spartanburg, and it
arises from two causes, first, that parents
show an amiable weakness in believing
that their children are above the average
intelligence, and secondly, because the
child of a busy mother when it reaches
the age of four or five years begins to be
* "hnther" hantring around and getting
in the way and not knowing how to
amuse itself. It is too old to Lave a
nurse, and older brothers aud sisters are
at school, so the best thing to do is to
impose it upon some teacher with a room
full of "tots" that have to be told how
to do everything. The ordinary classroom
should not have more than thirty
children in it at most, yet in primary
departments forty or fifty and even sixtyare
occasionally crowded in. It is impossible
to deal properly with this swarm
of infantile humanity, and disappointment
inevitably results when a numbelof
them fail to get passing cards. If they
are not prepared for the second grade,
promotion is a wrong to them, for they
will inevitably fall farther behind until
they must drop a grade in some portion
of the curriculum. Yet a hard heart and
some stubbornness is required of the
superintendent to enable hiin to resist
the appeals from pleading or threatening
parents. Superintendent Evans points
out the evil of early crowding by showing
that it hurries the child along too
rapidly, causing him to finish his course,
if he finishes at all, without having had
sufficient maturity thoroughly to assimilate
any portion of it.
Superintendent Evans touches upon
another very serious evil in alluding to
the antagonistic attitude of many parents.
In this respect there is great difference
I in the attitudes of former generations
I and the present. In the halcyon days
before the war pupils were turned over
! bodily to the teacher(and the word bodily
is no mere metaphor) frequently with
[ notice that a whipping at school would
I be followed by a sound whipping at
i home. Then the parent possibly gave
j the teacher too much discretion. Now
the tendency is to question every act.
Experience shows that the children of
parents who criticise and antagonize the
teacher generally get along poorly and
frequently fall by the wayside. If the
pupil recognizes that the teacher will be
firmly upheld by the parent few cases for
discipline will arise. If any parent dislikes
to have his child whipped he will
uiucn more easily accuuipuMi int. puipusc
by promising the child to duplicate every
chastisement he receives from the
teacher, thau by saying that his child
must not be whipped.
Superintendent Evans so admirably
points another evil that we quote his
words: (
"The chief injury, however, which
pareuts do the school is sending their
children without the general training, .
that steady discipline, that influence for :
refinement which the school cannot give,
but upou which it must build. The raw- j
ness and crudity of many children who ]
come from well-to-do homes is amaziug. j
These children kuow almost nothing of
the things which in intelligent homes are
the very atmosphere. They have 110
fund of general intelligence, they arc
untrained in manners, in speech, in voice 1
and in mind, and the school has to do for *
them in a very limited time and under *
"frr n\ndiHnn? thp wni't t.hflt
the home ought to have doue under the ]
best-possible circumstances aud with the 1
fullest possible time.
"If these people would only teach their
children at home to speak properly, to 1
tell the truth and not to use meaningless 1
slang in conversation with one another, 1
to modulate their voices aud not to
shriek or scream in the streets, to be
courteous and polite in their manners?
work which every parent is expected to
uuderstaod?and stop criticising methods
and text-books which they dp ttfp puder- c
stand, their children would bp better t
educated, both morally aud physically." ^
"Words fitly spoken are like apples of
gold in pictures of silver." These words
should be taken to heart by all who care
to rear a family of cultivated citizens. c
Some oue else has called attention to t
the inconsistency of the parent in admit- I
ting his owu inability to manage bis s
children aud who yet criticizes bis s
teacher for not doing so. Surely it la ?
easier to manage three or four at homp |
inn thirty or forty in a school room,
i such cases the evil is at home and the
uildrcn suffer the consequence.
There is another evil that Supcrinmdent
Evaus is not culled upon in his
xperieuee to mention, namely, the attiide
of many school boards. Forgetting
hat they are the representatives of the
ommuuity and trustees in the sense that
hey have a sacred trust imposed upon
hem. they allow personal or political
onsideratious to control them in the
hoice of teachers, or fail to give subtantial
support to the administration of
he school. Nothing can be more demorilizing
than this attitude, as experience
ins shown. Those schools are succeedng
where thorough cooperation exists.
It is impossible to mention in a short
;ompass all the obstacles in the way of
iuccess. Those that have been men,ioned
are enough to give ample food for

dead, in yonder fairer clime he lives

Charles H. Smith, familiarly known as
"Bill Arp," has been a colossal figure in
the newspaper world for nearly a half
century.
He came into prominence during the
dark years preceeding the war between
the States, when he made a brave fight
with his pen for our rights. At heart he
was one of the most decided; most loyal
Southerners God ever made^ and never
did he lose a chance to trim down the
"smart Alex" that have cropped up, from
time to time, to preach "the negro and
his rights and wrongs to us."
After the war when peace was again
established, Arp retired?or attempted to
?but the demand for him by Southern
papers was so great that he gave his life
to the work aud perhaps the last stroke
of his pen was made in this capacity
when he aeked to bp excused that week
for uot filling his column uddiug, "I am
too sick.!' The uext week found him
cold in death. We will miss his letters.
He had learned to council and comfort
others, and gathered his readers as a big
family around him, and dispensed freely
from his inexhaustible supply of fresh
and original thought. Who ever associated
anything artificial with "Bill Arp"?
That man of nature and grace who talked
with his pen and in variably opened the
door to bis heart through which you saw
his wife?still his sweetheart at seventy?

Bill blabbed a heap?no doubt told a
lot of family secrets which I have every
reason?and those reasons known best to
a woman?made his wife blush and his
children chide, but the world chuckled
and hollowed, >'hurrah for BIU ArP"
and where are the odds? The world
loves a lover. Bill was a genuine lover
and he filled his life with those priceless
gifts to humanity that gold cannot buy
gpfl for which the" heart yearns and often
die*.
I cannot close these simple lines without
again referring to his home life.
The spring to his happiness was found in
his home, basking in the smiles of his
companions and who will dare deny this
to be the alpha and omega of earthly happiness
aside from our fiope of Heaveu ?

Col. John S. Flaherty, manager of the
Majestic Theatre, says that one of the
most pathetic remarks he ever heard was
ippdp by a youngster who belonged on
New York's great east side. The little
fellow was takep to Ooppy Jsland on an
outing conducted by a charitable organization.
He went down on the beach and stood
for several minutes watching the waves
rolling in. As far as he could see there
was nothing but water, and the expanse
of waves and white caps fascinated him.
Heaving a deep sigh the little fellow
remarked : " WpU, this is the first time
I ever saw enough of anything."

Celic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy.
"B. L- Byer, a well known cooper of
this town, says he believes Chamberlain's

Sepatpr Randolph Burton, of Kansas,
W'hilp in Hawpji wi?h th,e congressional
| commission, was sitting ope morning fn
Hie dining-room 01 a nonmmu notei.
A Japanese iu occidental dress qf
extreme fashion, wbojwas sitting close by,
heard Mr, Burton addressed as senator,
i He rose, walked o?er to the Kansau and
presented his card.
"If your charming excellency should
become contaminated with the climatic
anhelatiou," he said, "he will find palliative
febrifuges at the above indicated
location."
The senator was astonished, but long
years jn politics have developed a singular
readiness, and hp Wavered i" kind:
"Your Samaritan commiserations overcome
me, sir. Should I stand in need of
proficient medication, I will call at your
justly famed establishment. If I have
appeared stultified iu my paraphrases of
gratitude, it is due, believe me, rather to
a paucity of vocabulary than to an insufficient
appreciation of your remedial
beneficence."
The little Asiatic bowed away, dazed,
but beaming.

Crime in South Caroliua.
Mr.-Tbos. J. Lamottc has been making
x study of the records of the daily news- t
papers as to the crime statistics, lie has f
gone over the files of the daily News and >
Courier for the first six months of the a
present year, and finds the records as (
published for what he terms "violent j
deaths" to have been: * i
From January 1 to March 31?Accident, t
?> ; suicide, 10; homicide, 36. Total, 49. (
April 1 to June 30?Accident, 11; sui- (
eide, 11; homicide, 62. Total 84. c
Total for six months, 143. I
Mr. LaMotte states that in the figures ]
he has compiled for the first six mouths
of this year, for this State, five, who are
reported as dying of drinking, are classed ,
as suicides. The figures given under the j
heading of accidents do not include those 1
killed in railroad accidents, nor does it
iuclude the deaths in connection with the j
floods in the mill district. <
Mr. LaMotte figures that the criminal
record of the last Quarter over the first
shows an increase of 49 per cent which is
indeed remarkable. t
Mr. LaMotte rinds that this is a great ?
increase over the records of a similar t
nature for previous years.?Columbia i

A Chicago Tribune correspondent thinks
lie ne??r<? heeMrriina murp n Northern
ind less a Southern problem. And it is
i fact of census record that between 1890
ind 1900, most of the Northern States
show large increases in their negro popuation.
In Illinois the increase was i
ibout fifty per cent. In New Jersey it
was almost as large, and in New York it ! j
was only a little less.
Silence Too Profound.
Congressman William E. Lowering, of
Massachusetts, told this story of the late
rom Reed the other evening:
" It was one of those long night sessions
in the house, when the Diugley bill ,c
was in the conference committee, and we ?
were all worrying lest the debate on the i
measure, when it should emerge, would
pass all the bounds of our strength and
patience.
"I went to the speaker's desk at one
stage, and asked Mr. Reed if he would
entertain a resolution to the effect that ~
no one should be allowed to speak on the
tariff unless he had something new to
say. Mr. Reed gave me one of those
quizzical looks of his and drawled out:
"Mr. Lovering, tyranical as I am,
thoroughly depraved and bad as I am, I 1
have hot yet reached the point of heartlessuess
where I can condemn this house
to a silence as profound as that resolution
would entail. I will not entertain
it, sir."?Philadelphi Ledger.
