Many South Carolina men who wanted
^ to be members of the legislature were
L f against bucket shops and for State barm
rooms. Maybe they would have favored
W the first under State control, with the
profits going to the schools.

Now they are charging graft at Clemson
college in the matter of the purchase
of some cattle. Mr. J. C. Stribling, of
Pendleton, a member of the committee,
says the cattle were bought over his protest,
and that the matter needs investigation
by the trustees of the college.
Why should teachers be trained for
their work if they are to simply "hear
a recitations." Anybody with no training
can do this. The very fact that teachers
require special training shows that the
3 n 1 i? -1 1,1 |
young minus uiey nave iu uuaigc suuuiu
also be trained. Let us have real "teach- 1
ing" in the Bamberg graded school this
, session and not merely "reciting." We
trust both trustees and principal will bet- 1
ter conditions and thereby please a great 1
number of the patrons, for many of them 1
have expressed themselves to us along i
this line. - 1

* * J
The pupils at our graded school did /
little for the past few years while at the i
school building but recite, having to get i
their parents to assist them in the prepa- ration
of their lessons at home. We j
trust there will be a change for the better I
the coming session. Young minds should j
be trained and taught. It is the least i
part of a teacher's duties to simply hear i
the children recite. Their real work i
comes in the training of their charges i
and in assisting, in the proper manner, j
in the work of preparing the lessons. ]
This has been sadly neglected in the past. 3
We should also have longer school hours. 1
Not much work can be done from nine

Aged Citizen Brutally Killed. ]
Beaufort, Aug. 27.?Mr. Geo. M. Har- f
vey was murdered Sunday night on 1
Ladies Island. A negro is in the s
county jail, charged wtth the crime. 1
< The verdict of the coroner's jury was i
that deceased came to his death by a gun ]
shot wound, the gun in the opinion of
the jury being fired by Wm. Bennett, and 1
that Wm. Ferguson is a material witness, i
if not accessory.
Mr. Harvey, a well known farmer, age c
72, of the Bluff ton section, was visiting f
his son on a plantation on Ladies Island, t
four miles from Beaufort. Last evening <
he was left alone in the house from 5 un? i
til 7, and upon returning his son found j
him lying dead on the piazza with a hor- *
rible wound in his head. A shotgun and ]
pistol were missing from the house. ;
The gun has not been found, but this j
morning the sheriff found the pistol in a j
negro cabin where it had been positively 1
identified as having been left by Wm.
Bennett, who was found on a public road i
soon after. He would admit nothing, ]
but other neighbors testified they had
seen him near the Harvey farm at the
time the crime was committed and that
he was drunk and in an ugly humor. The '
negro came from the up-country and
was employed by Mr. Harvey as a plow
hand up to Wednesday. The neighbors 1
of the vicinity assisted in his capture and 4
are much wrought up by what seems to j
be a brutal, unprovoked murder. The
sheriff and a posse of citizens wept to 1
the scene early this morning. Though <
/ there was much feeling exhibited by the ]
citizens present at the inquest, there was
no danger of lynching. *
All ttone Wrong. (
"This must be good weather for farm- 1
ers?" he queried, as he sat down beside l
a farmer looking man in the smoking i
car.
"It could be wuss," was the reply.
"How's wheat looking?"
"Won't be half a crop." j
"How's corn?" <
"Wuss'n the wheat." i
"Don't think fruit will turn out well?" ]
"Won't be two apples to a tree, sir." i
"But there can't be anything wrong '
with the potatoes?" ]
"I don't expect to see three to a hill." 1
"Then you think everything is all t
wrong, do you?" persisted the question- t
er. j
"I do, sir. And I told the widder Jeni
nings when she throwed me over jest t
w how it would De. jest tnrowea me over, (
sir, and now if the whole caboodle of us
go to the poorhouse next winter don't 1
blame me. I asked her six times over to '<
marry me and she won't do it, and now <
let the old country go to pot."
A friend suggests that the best way to
head off the mail order houses is for the j
merchants to advertise liberally and get j
the trade themselves. It does look rea- s
sonable. All of the successful mail order J
houses are heavy advertisers and if they }
can make it pay, wby not the local mer- (
chants? i

NEGRO SHOT BY THE HUSBAND.
Florence County the Scene of the Latest Attempt
at Criminal Assault.
Florence, Aug. 25.?This morning
about sunrise Mr. W. L. Marshall shot
and killed Lewis Gray, a negro, for the
crime for which negroes are lynched.
Yesterday afternoon while Mr. Mar-Y--~.il
? nft A "? *? f ? A * * * K 5 A 1\ A?e?A t K tx
biiail as a \> aj uuui uio uwuct, iug
Gray came to the house and made an indecent
proposal to Mrs. Marshall. Before
he could make any attempt to carry out
his purpose he was frightened away by
Mrs. Marshall's mother, who appeared
from another1 room in the house when
her daughter screamed. The negro fled.
Marshall, ^ ho was at work in the field,
as soon as he reached home and learned
the facts, secured his shotgun and started
out on a hunt for the negro. He hunted
the country over all night and about daybreak
went into the store of Mr. H. B.
McCall to rest. While in the store Lewis
Gray walked in, not knowing that Marshall
was there. Marshall, without a word,
fired and killed the negro instantly.
Marshall left the store, intending to
come to Florence and surrender. He
came to town, it is said, but did not give
himself up and is still at large.
Marshall's home is on the plantation of
Mr. J. S. McCall, near Effingham. His
wife is a woman of about 27 years of
age and her mother lives with them.
The negro was an itinerant barber,
who was well known in that section,
which is about ten miles from Florence.
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE
Florence, Aug. 26.?As a result 01 tne
coroner's inquest over the dead body of
the negro, Louis Gray, the jury, with
Mr. Brooks McCall. acting as foreman,
handed in a verdict that deceased had
come to his death as the result of a gun
shot in the hands of W. L. Marshall and
that it was a justifiable homicide. Noth*
ing new developed during the course of
the inquest except that the negro brute
had actually laid hands on Marshall's
wife, and offered her a sum of money if
she would submit to his proposals. She
then screamed and called for her mother,
who was inside the house, and the negro
fled. Sheriff Burch was present during
the inquest, but did not take Marshall
into actual custody for the reason that he
showed a disposition not to disappear,
ind the further fact that several of the
most substantial men of the community
issured him that they would be responsible
for Marshall's appearing in Florence
Monday morning to give bond. Sheriff
Burch says he is willing to be responsible
for the prisoner.
Kept Account With Heaven.
Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 21.?Alfred E.
Bills, who aspires to succeed John Alexmder
Bowie as overseer of Zion City,
las for many years considered himself a
lort of trustee of God's business. When
le ran a bank at Millyer, S. D., the Alnighty
was on his books as a regular depositor.
This fact is attested by W. A. Smith,
"ormer bookkeeper in Bills' bank at Millar,
who was in Sioux City last week.
"Bills had a somewhat curious method
)f handling God's. affairs," said Mr.
Smith. "He very religiously deposited
10 Divine credit 10 per cent, of the profits
)f the bank and other enterprises in
vhich Bills was interested. When a snug
mm had been accumulated Bills, as stewird,would
take a part or all of it and invest
[f the venture proved successful the fund
ilways got back every cent of the principal,
but the profits found their way into
Bills' private account. If the investment
ost money the fund had to stand it."
According to Mr. Smith, some of these
nvestments were in enterprises not perlaps
altogether heavenly in their nature.

Families of Millionaires Plan a

Atliletic Quarters and "Gardens" to
Be Provided.
It became known recently that about
fifty millionaires and multimillionaires
of Chicago and middle western cities
are planning an apartment house for
their families, and have organized the
members into advisory boards to pre1
pare plans for the building in which
they propose to live for t%i remainder
1 of their days, says a Chicago dispatch.
These possessors of great wealth
have had opened to them a community*
of the most ultra exclusiveness in the
proposed hotel of dazzling magnificence
to be erected at an enormous cost on,
the Otto Young property in Michigan
avenue, Chicago, where the prevailing
feature in construction will be that
persons with sufficient wealth may
lease for a long term of years or for
life apartments constructed according
to the lightest wish or most fickle
fancy of the occupant
Many of the most wealthy families
in Chicago have planned to take apartments
in the proposed hotel, and besides
them the cream of the wealth of
cities througnout me miaaie west nave
been asked to join in the scheme, which
will probably center in Chicago most
of the great wealth of the country outside
of New York city.
The cost of the hotel In the light of
circumstances which have developed
Is at present beyond estimating. Into
the millions, however, It Is conceded
the cost of such a project will run.
But as only the upper strata of the
millionaire colonies In the west are
to be Invited Into the grand apartment
scheme the expense Is a matter of
small Importance.
Because of the wide variance of |
tastes in form, arrangements and finishing
jot apartments, the hotel will
probably have a wider difference of
uniformity than any other building In j
the world. The only similarity will be
on the outside, where the walls are to
be uniform from street to roof. Among
the proposed features of the millionaires'
home are:
Private elevators to the various
floors and in some cases to apartments
are to be provided.
Oarages are to be scattered through
the building.
Athletic quarters are to be provided !
in many parts of the building.
Cafes In the styles of every known !
race of epicures, with native chdfs
and stewards in charge of the building
and subsequently their management I
"Gardens" and rooms and ^corners"
of the most magnificent fittings.
Although the private apartments will
be maintained with private retinues
of servants, Importation of service men
and women from England and the
continent is to be made for the hotel
proper.
THUMB PRINT EXPERT.
Chlcftfo Woman to Instruct Secret
Service Hen In WneMnarton.
After studying the thumb print system
of identifying criminals for over
fifteen years Mrs. M. E. Holland of
Chicago has been appointed instructor
in the secret service at Washington,
says a Chicago dispatch.
Mrs. Holland is thirty-four years old
and the wife of Phil Holland, editor of
the Detective. Fifteen years ago she
began the study of criminals under
Detective Fernier of Scotland Yard,
and since then she has devoted her entire
time to it
"One can take the imprint of a
baby's thumb," says Mrs. Hoiland,
"and the grown man can be Identified
by It when all other means fail."
It is said that the government is
preparing to use it where thousands of
laborers are employed as a means of
identification on pay day.
K?w llgotl System For Roll ways.
The Great Western railway is about
to make an experiment In signaling
which, says the London Express, it 1*
believed will herald a worldwide revolution
In railway working. This is
nothing less than the substitution of
audible for visible signals and the
abolition of the familiar semaphore
arm at the top of a signal post Instead
of the engine driver having to
look out for his signals, the signals declare
themselves to his ear unmistakably.
"Line clear" is expressed in the
new system of signaling by the tinkling
01 a bell. "Line blocked" is exnreKaed
bv the blowlne of a whistle.
I which continues until the driver with
his own hand turns it off. Both bell
and whistle are fixed inside the engine
cabin close by the driver as he stands
to his lever, and they afford a much
more telling means of notification than
would a dial on which signs appeared.
The apparatus is so constructed that
If anything goes wrong anywhere the
whistle signal operates.
Leather Drinking Cnpa.
A revival of an eld English custom is
the use of leather as a material for
drinking vessels?their reappearance
being especially in the form of prizes
for sports. The English shapes of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are
copied and the goblets, loving cups,
tankards, etc., are handsomely mounted
In silver.

Wanted in Barnwell.
On the 13th of August a negro by the
name of Henry Middleton was sentenced
in the police court by Acting Recorder
Rouse to thirty days on the chain gang
for beating his wife. It was a cruel beating
that he gave her and the authorities
thought that he was an extra mean negro
and Judge Rouse gave him the limit of
the law.
Yesterday an officer from Barnwell
came to the jail and asked to see the
negro. He identified him as the man
who Escaped from the Barnwell chain
gang and whom they have been hunting
for some time. He was sentenced for
five years and had served half of the time
when he made his escape. As soon as
his time is up on the Charleston gang he
will be turned over to the Barnwell authorities
and, under the law, will have to
serve the full term. The term would
have been shortened through good behavior,
but since he escaped he will have
to serve the full five years, and no allowance
will be made, no matter how good
he may be from now on.?Charleston
News and Courier, Tuesday, August 28.

wire stretchers to please return them'
