Many of the crowd would never have gotten so far from home unless the State or somebody had paid their fare. ? The Columbia State says the action of the house of representatives in debarring the use of the hall for the State ball was not a brilliant performance. Doubtless many of the members and other people throughout the State think the State ball is . v not a "brilliant performance.'* H The people of Anderson are making efforts to establish a college for girls in that city. Their plans are to build a college which will accommodate 200 boarders and do as highgrade work as Winthrop. The people of Anderson i^sually get what they !?-want if money and pluck will do it. Jos. A. McCullough, of Greenville, \ announced his candidacy for the United States Senate on Tuesday. || . He is an able lawyer and a strong " man, one who would represent South Carolina with credit. We may not support him, for all the entries are W not in, but he is a good man for the place all right. On the motion to forbid the'use of the hall of the house of repre; sentatives for the annual State ball, Mr. Garris voted to allow the use of ; the hall, while Mr. Miley voted for the resolution. We regret to differ , i ^with pur good friend, Garris, but the p^>; building is a public one and should not be used for private functions of any kind. The Bamberg Herald ap nrpoiates the vote of Mr. Miley on X' the question. Youth Killed at Bethane.. Bethune, Jan. 17?Little Lucas Scott, the 9-year-old son of Mr. r ~ Walter Scott, was instantly killed yesterday about 11:45 .o'clock by the v southbound passenger train at the fe : Main street crossing in this place. % -,x According to eye-witnesses the little boy was attempting to cross the I ; , railroad or^Main street on his way - home from school when a long freight train going north on the sidetrack * commenced moving off in front of the boy. He was between the main line and sidetrack. In moving back from the freight train the little fellow* got on the main line and the passenger coming in at this time he was struck by the train, the impact \ crushing one side of his head and dislcfeating his neck. The train was so near the little boy when he stepped on the track it was utterly impossible p: tO StOp. The verdict of the coroner's inquest was "that little Lucas Scott < came to his death by being struck by 3, .a southbound passenger train." No ? - blame is attached to the railroad people. 5?Negro Fugitive Arrested. Charleston, January 19.?James ; Fells, colored, wanted at Cove Springs, Fla., for murder, was arrested last night at McClellanville by a deputy sent by Sheriff Martin in an automobile to make the arrest. The prisoner was brought, from Mount Pleasant in Duputy Sheriff Poulnot's launch and safely landed in jail to await an officer from Florida. Capt. Martin has been on the lookout for Fells for some time. Child Badly Burned. . Gaffney, January 17?Wednesday mominc Bvars. the little 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Harvey, '' while playing in the fire, his dress became ignited and before aid could reach him was almost enveloped in flames. The dress was burned almost entirely off and the body, arms and face of the child were badly burned. The mother in endeavoring to extinguish the flames sustained painful burns on the hands and arms. Dr. Pitman, who attended the burned child, announced that the injuries would not prove fatal. Texas Wants Prohibition. Dallas, Jan. 16.?At a council of leading prohibitionists of Texas held here today, it was decided to ask the next legislature for a prohibition amendment, prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in the State. A primary campaign will be begun at once with a view of electing members to the next legislature who are friendly to prohibition. f BOY OF FOUR BURNS BARN. Remarkable Instance of an Outburst of a Child's Temper. Union, Jan. 20.?A remarkable instance of the serious matters that can follow a child's outburst of temper, is reported today as having occurred in this county near Santuc. yesterday. From the story as told, it appears that because a little 4-year-old negro boy whose mother would not dress him in his best suit of clothes and take him to church with her, the boy became so enraged that after his mother had gone away from home, in a spirit of anger set fire to a large i J j? ] Darn ana completely uesuuyeu xt with all its contents. The boy's father's name is Andy Hamilton and lives on Dr. T. B. Bates' place near Santuc and the story that the direct cause of the burning was due to the boy's anger, was vouched for by several responsible persons. The barn was quite a good sized structure and contained, it is said, considerable forage. When the parents returned home and found out what their offspring had done and I what had caused it all, what they t did may be imagined though at this juncture the chapter on spanking is unrecorded. No Money for Edisto. Washington, January 17.?The Secretary of War to-day sent a communication to Congress, in which he recommended that no money be spent at this time on the north and south forks of the Edisto River iA the attempt to make them , navigable. It is pointed out that while some advantage might be gained by making these streams navigable for rafting purposes, the scheme is not of sufficient importance to warrant the exnonrlifnra nf nnv mnnev at this time by the Government. What Fools Some People Are New York, January 17.?The approaching marriage of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and Count Laszle Szechenyi is attracting so much attention that scores of women are constantly congregated about the Vanderbilt home at Fifth avenue and West Fifty-seventh street, hoping for a chance to get a look at the bride and her titled^fiance. The women stroll* back and forth in front of the house and eye the occupants of the scores of carriages which are constantly stopping at the door while footmen carry packages and cards to the house. Yesterday when Miss Vanderbilt and the count, accompanied by his brother and sister-in-law, emerged from the house for the purpose of taking a drive the crowd became so large, that it was with difficulty that the carriage could make its way through. Shreveport Goes Dry. Shreveport, La., Jan. l^.?After one of the most strenuous and exciting campaigns on record Shreveport was carried in favor of prohibition today. Immediately on the result - - becoming known those who lea tne fight for prohibition launched a campaign for State prohibition.^ it being their intention to carry the contest to the legislature which assembles in May. It is almost certain that the election will be contested in the courts. Prohibition is to go into effect January 1st, 1909. No More Balls in State House. Columbia, Jan. 16.?The House of Representatives decided today that the furniture in the hall should not be removed?especially the new carpet?which means that the South Carolina Club must herehfter seek new quarters for their annual ball, held during the State Fair. The action of the House was not taken until there had been considerable debate, but from the votes of the members it could be seen from the start that all parlimentary moves to defeat the exclusion of the club would be of no avail. The friends of the club nronaro tVi<pm?iAlvPsfnr a KftTV UAVi UVV jj/A v? timentso decidedly expressed, and probably had they seen the strength of the opposition the result might have been different. However, a clincher has been put on the resolution and there is now no chance for a recall. Paying in Advance.
