THE CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL ? f A Lot of Interesting Facts About an Institution of Which Bamberg Can Justly be Proud. The Carlisle Fitting School of our town * has enjoyed a year of unusual prosperity. L Reports of its work are very flattering, fcf showing the earnestness and equipment of its faculty. It is not out of place for ^ us to take the opportunity of expressing our pride of it, of its work, and congratulate ourselves upon its existence in our midst. "We notice with pleasure the " 5 J ^~~ 1C? o. fViQ tr>Tvr? sympainy anu gwu xccuug vi CUV VV ti M people for it, the hearty fellowship existing between the students and the young people of town. The school building and halls are situated in one of the prettiest and most desirable parts of town, upon a high, well drained elevation. The main building is of brick, two stories in height, consisting of four recitation rooms, one music room, library, two society halls, and a large, commodious chapel. The building is well adapted and equipped for its work. The Girls' Hall is very conveniently located, has good facilities for accomodating a number of girls. In this building with the girls are the lady assistant, the music teacher and a very excellent matron. Everything is arranged for the convenience and accomodation of the students, making the hall as home-like as possible. The large attendance this year speaks well for this department of the school life. The boy's hall is situated on the side of the campus, opposite to and fartherest from the girls' hall. In this hall live the r first and second assistants, a most excellent matron, and the boarding boys. The >?oii nan ?.r?nomodate easily about forty boys. The boys have a reading and reception room well furnished 'and cozy, have access to the offices and library of the assistants, and are as comfortably situated and made to feel as much at home as any set of boys anywhere could be. The home of the Headmaster is a very comfortable, modern dwelling on the ? cmnpus, and between the two boarding halls, in easy calling distance of each. Here lives the Headmaster and family and some boarding girls. The campus is large and well laid off in beautiful walks. The boys have a very good baseball diamond and they take advantage of this opportunity to develop the physical side of their being. There is a very good tennis court on the campus which will be much used as soon at the weather permits. In every way the campus is well arranged for accomodating a large number of boys at play and during the recreation periods. No surface water is allowed them, but all drinking water is obtained from a good flowing well on the ? - campus. \ , The discipline of the school is kind but ' firm, and every influence for good is thrown around the students. This purpose is kept in view: A full development of the three-fold nature of the students? tl^e physical, the mental, the moral and spiritual. The students have a Sunday morning prayer meeting and song ser?*? fKcrr mnct. fitipnri ohurnh Vices, SXIrCJT Y> UlVii wuvj ***%??*? v...VMM . __ ' in the morning and Sunday-school in the afternoon. The boys have organized a Young Men's Christian Association which conducts devotional meetings on TTednes' day afternoons, and is proving very helpful in strengthening the lives of those participating, making them stronger and better men and giving them an invaluable training in Christian work. The Sheridan literary society meets on [ Friday afternoons, and is conducted with much credit and interest by the girl 1 students. The second assistant presides L at all meetings. The Kilgo literary society meets on Friday nights. The boys [ take a great deal of interest in its work, L and this department of the school 9 training is proving very beneficial to the r ; students. An occasional joint meeting of [ the two societies adds interest and makes * the students most enthusiastic in their work. (The personel of the faculty assures the best training possible to every student who attends. Prof. H. G. Sheridan, a Wofford man, a teacher of many years ex | perience, and a master in nis vocation, | is headmaster and professor in the departF ment of mathematics and science. Miss t # Pet 8tephens, who has had several years I experience in teaching and is a graduate of Columbia Female College, assists Prof. Sheridan in his department. Prof. W. C. Owen, first assistant and a Wofford graduate, has charge of the department of English and history. Prof. J. u. Redmond, second assistant, and also a Wofford graduate, fills the chair of Latin and * Greek. Both are making good records in their respective departments. Miss E. Sidelle Watson, of Leesville, is the very f competent instructor in music. Her work t is giving entire satisfaction, and she has * a large percentage of the girls under her instruction. - The course given by the Fitting School f rimarily trains for college, layinga deep, road, thorough foundation for higher f - training at college,_and prepares for the f Sophomore year. i?'or those wno cannot I enter college, the course is arranged to r give them a special training in the most f Fundamental branches of a broad and usep ful education for practical life.

L We know of no place where a boy or r girl can receive as good education for I life or training for life. FIRE THIS MORNING. At four o'clock this (Thursday) morning fire was discovered issuing from the H. C. Folk building, located on the corner of Main street and Railroad Avenue, and soon the whole building was a mass of 1 flame. The fire began in the Patrick Photo * Supply Company's department, which I was located in the rear rooms up stairs, and must have been of accidental origin. ( Seeing that every attempt to save the ! burning building was futile, the attention ' of the whole "bucket brigade" was then 1 turned to the new store and opera house now being completed and belonging to 1 Col. Jno. F. Folk, which was saved by heroic work. This fire removes from the town one of its oldest stores, and is quite a loss to Mr. Folk, as there was only twelve hundred dollars insurance on the building. The stock was removed, but badly damaged, the loss however is probably covered. Other losses in this fire are: Patrick Photo Supply Co., totai loss of cameras and supplies; H. S. Dowling's law books and office furniture; Bell Telephone Company, all office fixtures of the exchange. To what extent these last named parties are insured cannot be ascertained at this time. COURT WEEIUN HAMPTON. The Kearse Boys Acquitted?Brady, the Alleged Bank jobber Found Not Guilty. Brunson, February 6.?Special: Court convened in Hampton Monday last, 1st inst. The criminal docket was pretty well cleared during the week and the Common Pleas opened this morning. A murder case, continued through two terms, was concluded yesterday. At the last term the State moved for a change of venue, but the motion was overruled. ' After a stubborn fight on both sides the i trial resulted in a verdict of "not guilty." The defendants were John and Percy j Kearse. brothers, first cousins of the man they killed. Archie Gooding, who, at the time of the killing was marshal of the town of Hampton. There was consider- , able difficulty in obtaining a jury, as both ! parties to the suit were related to about ' one-half of the people in Hampton county. Senator Warren and Mr. W. S. Smith ] aided Solicitor Davis; Messrs. Tillinghast & Thomas, of Beaufort, appeared for the ' defense. The preponderence of public ' sentiment is in accord with the verdict rendered. j Another interesting case was the trial of two suspects?one of whom, Mike Brady, is a British subject?arrested in ' Savannah, Ga., last November and jailed I under the charge of breaking into and , robbing .the Bank of Brunson. They < proved an alibi, and the solicitor consented to a verdict of not guilty. The accused 3 owe their deliverence to the aid given 1 them by a citizen of Brunson?Mr. J. C. , Preacher?who spent time and money in obtaining the presence of material witnesses, who lived at a distance, and to Col. i Sanders Glover, of the Hampton bar, who went nobly to their rescue through pity . for their helpless condition?strangers without money or friends?and gave them ' the benefit of his efforts in a splendid i defence. Brady, the Britisher, as soon as < released, arranged to settle down at work , here, and thus Branson scores one in the immigration movement. ; NEARLY FORFEITS HIS LIFE.

At last he consented to make < a journey to the nearest station and behold the transportation wonder. i The mountaineer arrived a little ahead of the schedule time. He tarried impatiently near the track, so that the train could not steal by him unawares. After a while he started out to meet the belated locomotive. He met it as it rounded a curve. Turning about the mountaineer ran along the track as for his life. "Toot, toot," sounded the locomotive, slowing up, but the mountaineer only dug the gravel more industriously than ever. He soon reached the station completely out of breath. "Why didn't you cut across?" inquired one of the bystanders. "Cut across!" exclaimed the uncouth lad. "If I had struck the ploughed ground the thing certainly would have caught me." ANOTHER CASE Of Rheumatism Cured by Chamberlain's Pain Balm. ! The efficacy of Chamberlain's pain balm , in the relief of rheumatism is being de- | monstrated daily.

At the present day the chief aim i housebuilding is to attain the uniqu ot at the expense, however, of comfor giving features; on the contrary, t!b modern home is usually both quaint an cosey. Both of these qualities find e: pression in the suburban home shown i the Delineator for March, in the serie house building and house making. Tb compact outlines of the house are rei dered more attractive by an artistic con bination of colors, gray for the roof an sides, green upon the shutters and door white for the pillars and trimmings. . feature of interest is the large corner ba window, with upper sashes of diamon panes and understructure of stone. Tb interior is fj*tistic both in decoration an furnishings, the colonial idea domina ing. The rooms are arranged with view to convenience and economy < space. The result is an actually honcn like residence, expressing an individualit that should appeal to modern hoxc makers.

V REVIEW AND FORECAST. r' WHAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS DONE AND MAY DO. l A Summary of the Appropriation Bill as Re* is ported?The Medical Dispute Settled, t- Too Many New Bills. Columbia, February 7.?Special: The ,e general appropriation bill, as reported by the ways and means committee, includes k practically the entire expenses of the e State government. The house committee is a very conservative body, has pruned 1S expenses closely. With all possible trime ming the normal expenses of the State 1_ government are over a million dollars. The report of the committee figures up 18 $1,145,216.46. This does not mean that the e actual expenses will be that much, ber cause about $20,000 has to be annually apr* propriated, in excess of the current exia penses, for interests on the State debt. s" The appropriation for the railroad comie missioners is returned by the railroads. ie The Wade Hampton monument fund was ^ appropriated last year, and is repeated in r' this year's bill. It will be observed that c* more than half of the total expenses of ^ the State government are covered by three items. That is, the State hospital a' for the insane, the Confederate pensions ^ and the ever-recurring interests on the public debt, make up $627,000 of the grand ** total of $1,145,216.46. . & South Carolina is a growing State, and ie it is about as reasonable to expect the State to- remain stationary in its expenditures as to expect the tide to stand still. 10 The following list is taken from the appropriation bill, as reported, and it ought 10 to be read with interest by every one: ** Governor's office $ 5,600 00 Contingent funds 7,500 00 Secretary of State's office... 5,900 00 r* Comptroller General's office. 7,900 00 11 Treasurers office 7,250 00 l" Superintendent of Education's office 5,600 00 Adjudtant and Inspector 1- n 1 j 10 akc\ nn vjeuerai aim Buppuii lunula, w ^ Attorney General's office and litigation fo nd 5,475 00 n Railroad Commission , 8,900 00 a Library 1,400 00 State House grounds 1,200 00 Janitors 280 00 Engineers 1,350 00 Keeper of State Bouse and grounds 200 00 n State Geologist's office 3,000 00 0 Judicial department, Judges, ' solicitors, etc 63,300 00 , Quarantine stations 5,923 25 8 Board of health 10,700 00 Tax departmeut, auditors, , 8' treasurers, etc 60,500 00 a South Carolina College? * Maintenance 31,000 00 Scholarships 1,640 00 a Safe 2,00 00 * Winthrop College? l" Maintenance 52,182 75 Scholarships 5,456 00 g Painting and help 3,800 00 ?

SCHEMES OP TAXATION. ;y With the knowledge of the amount of ie money that the Slate spends tech year, the next question is how the money is to te be raised, and this naturally makes the general taxation schemes the most im>" portant matters that are to be acted upon at this session. The House is evidently not disposed to hit out straight from the shoulder and male a direct increase of n the levy of taxes for State purposes. It was stated that a direct increase of the >g levy of one-half of one mill would more d than accomplish the purposes and revenue a proposed in the series of tax commission L" bills. It was stated that, from the best I figures available, the revenue from the l- license or excise tax bill, passed in the C House, would be about $80,000. It appears that, if properly enforced it ought to aggregate more. T The tax commission had the easiest and most serene time with its license bill? l" imposing an additional tax on corporaie tions, nothing but corporations. When it came to the bill to establish a new e method of assessing all classes of propI ertv. the tax commission was literally 11 snowed under with its pet measures?the e bill was killed by a vote of 61 to 28. The tax commission still has on the House Calendar a bill to tax all incomes of more than $1,000. The present statute imposes s. a tax upon all incomes of more than $2,l 500, but the proposition .is to reduce the :e limit, and impose an income tax on all r- gross incomes of ov?r $1,000. Then the tax commission has a bill to impose a tax " ' . J-" "...t X". jj", upon all bequests and legacies of certain amounts. The defeat of the assessor's bill proposed by the tax commission, may mean a fight now all along the line on the E remaining bills, but the license bill on d corporations is really the revenue getter of the entire repertoire of tax bills. . The House ought to take up the general appropriation bill on Tuesday, and get a through with it in decent time and with E proper consideration. Chairman Moses has gotten the general appropriation bill . into the House two weeks before the t] prospective day for adjournment, and E there is no reason in the world wky the House should now wilfully delay the ^ proper consideration of the appropriation bill, and not have it properly enrolled and tn A^ran/ta nf tVifinal o rl _ A journment." As a rule, the appropriation bill is left over until the last minute; f( there are conferences and troubles in the , last hours of the sessions, and the right 0 thing to do is not to have the adjournment waiting on the writing of such an \ important matter. It can be so easily avoided, when the ways and means committee has done the wise thing of getting * the bill into the hands of the House in t such good time. As soon as the appropriation bill is sent to the Senate the general supply bill ought to be taken up, and this shonld be followed by the legislative 1 appropriation bill, fixing the session for the full forty days. t BIENNIAL SESSIONS. ; It is gratifying that among the very first batch of bills ordered to be ratified was the joint resolution providing for a vote of the people on the subject of biennial sessions. The suggestion has been , made that this legislation is in response to the fight that has been made by The t News and Courier more than to any other y influence. It is well that such credit ( should be given, and there is now certainly no reason to believe that a mis- 1 take has been made* ] CORPORATION INFLUENCE. ? The suggestion has been made on the of floor the House that this was a move in the direction of helping the corpora- e tions; that the less often tne general as- 1 sembly met the less interference there c would be with corporate interests, and ^ that in Alabama the corporate interests secured the passage of laws providing for 8 sessions every four years, instead of an- i nual meetings. The fact of the matter is t the old-time feeling against corporations is dying out as it ought to. There is not the same bitterness against corporations 8 that there was in former years. Every " bill directed against cotton mills has been t killed, and in fact, snowed under. The members seem to realize, and, by their votes show, that the mills are doing a 0 good work in the development of the t State, and that there is no use to try and cripple them by adverse legislation, and that there are how ample restrictions on 1 the statute books. So with railroads. There have been plenty of bills intro- t Ai.*Vio? n/MtM if rvaacoH hovoT UUWU IfUCIV TTVIUU| A4 ^/MWWWk} MWI f V WA4WVW ^ these interests, bat they have been pretty generally and freely killed, and some of minor interests have gone through npon c their merits, or because the railroads ad- e mitted their justice and offered no resist ance. NO ANTI-U8TJBY BILL. Quite often there is legislation proposed e directed against the banking interests of ? the State. This year, strange to say, no bill was offered looking to a reduction of the legal rate of interest that banks c might charge. Perhaps the law-makers c have come to realize that money is a com- i modity, and that it will bring and ought t to bring whatever it is worth to the man J who has a right to borrow. If condi- ; tions change and money is more plentiful, banks will, of their own accord, as a result of competition and the desire to earn money on their holdings, reduce the rate of interest on the proper class of securieties. c It looks now very much as if the row ? that has for some time been going on in c medical circles has been settled, and that ( peace will again be allowed to reign su- ( preme. The compromise bill that was c agreed upon by the representative of the t Medical College, the Medical Association, { the Legislators and all others, has passed 1 the House, and now that it has gotten to ^ the Senate, will hardly meet with much c objection there, in view of the support i that it has already received in its prelim- s inary stages. 1 TOO MANY NEW BILLS. S Wlion lon-.maVopc Mmp hprp thev s TV U^U VUO iu ii-uiuaviw VMAMV ? found a Calendar full of bills that had s been left over from last year, and, there- ( fore, it seems strange that there should have been so many new bills introduced this session. There are 150 more bills to the credit of the second term of the present Legislature than to the first term. The Calendar of the House yesterday ran to thirty-one pages, and there is no hope of acting upon all the pending measures. KEEPING CONTROL OF CLEM80N. Apparently an onslaught was being indirectly made against the funds of Clemson College. First the House passed a f bill providing for one hundred and twenty-four scholarships?that would have meant $12,400 out of the treasury of Clemson. Then the House passed the bill pro- g viding for county experimental stations s ?that meant another $12,000, and to cap c the climax; the House refused to strike t out the enacting words of the bill, which t sought to reduce the privilege tax?the e backbone of the support of Clemson. So ? there was trouble ahead! These three items meant a reduction of more than t $60,000 in the funds availabe for Clemson _ College, and the trustees of that institution came here in full force to protest j looriaiat.inn And to emnhasi7e -r againov ?- ^ the present needs of the College and to ask to be left alone. The trouole seems to.be, first, that the affairs of Clemson are not in the hands of the General As- _ sembly. The Clemson board can and does * do what it pleases as to salaries, buildings ' and the like, and then some members in- . sisted that the money that is going into 11 new buildings had better be used for the . purposes indicated in the measures they . advocated. 11 The scholarship measure is now in the Senate, and in this conneciton it seems that the policy developed at this session n was decidedly favorable to scholarships ? at the various State colleges. * OTHER MATTERS. t] The insurance interests seem to be very *' generally satisfied with the passage u through the House of the two measures ? affecting their interests. The Mauldin bill ? was not exactly what the insurance folks E wanted, but it was in the line of what was desired, and the idea of an insurance bureau seems to be acceptable.
