. 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?

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?*?

' 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. The
I * course embraces a full and thorough drill
F in English grammar, rhetoric, and literaf.

ingand spelling.
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. ;

Wouldn't Risk tbe Ploughed Ground. ,
Senator Dubois tells of a Kentucky
mountaineer who had never seen the 1
steam cars. 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."

1 Cosey Suburban Home.
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.

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.

e. 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.
