SEMINARY TO COLUMBIA.
\ - %vv_ - ,
Lutheran School at Mount Pleasant
Will be Moved.
Columbia, Dec. 17.?Columbia has
* won the Lutheran Seminary and work
* ? will be begun at once and pushed
energetically to build a splendid plant
on one of the beautiful sites offered
near Columbia, and this will be followed
up immediately by efforts exerted
all along the line to build up
the attendance and, in addition to inducing
the seminary students now
a Koir>*r trainer* in Northern colleges to
come to Columbia, a vigorous campaign
will be started to get addj
1 tional students from the various
Southern States interested in the
work. The States the Seminary will
represent are North and South Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
* Mississippi and Alabama.
The Lutherans already have $25,000
in sight to begin the construction
of the plant and a committee
will at once get to work to secure
further funds.
A committee, consisting of ' Dr.
George B. Cromer and Dr. O. B.
Meyer, of Newberry, and Mr. C. M.
Efird, of Lexington, will be here
Tuesday to selept the site from the
three offered by Columbia. These
sites afford a choice between six
acres at the Ensor place, seven acres
at College Place and from seven to
ten acres at the Seegers place. Columbia
also put in $17,772 in cash.
* Salisbury offered two beautiful sites,
one containing sixteen acres and
$14,350 in cash, while Charlotte
offered $8,000 in cash and the choice
of several sites.
It was past midnight last night
when the committee reached a decision
at Salisbury after ten ballots had
been taken. The first balloting
showed this result: Charleston 6,
A Columbia 8, Salisbury 3, Charlotte 1.
The final ballot resulted: Charleston
4, Columbia 10, Salisbury 4.
There were present 18 of the 22
delegates, among them Dr. Wilson,
of Savannah: Mr. Ficken, Dr. M. G.
G. Scherer and Mr. Cappelmann, of
Charleston; Dr. O. B. Mayer, Dr.
George B. Cromer, of Newberry; the
Rev. C. A. Freed, the Rev. E. C.
Cronk and Dr. Sox, of Columbia,
, , and others.
V Columbia's proposition, somewhat j
augmented since the last meeting of
the board, was presented by C. W.
Moorman, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. The other members
of the local committee, representing ,
the Lutheran churches of Columbia
and Brookland, were the Rev.
^ Messrs. Mauney, Lybrand and Crimes i
and J. W. Boozer. The committee
presented with force Columbia's
claims.
The board announced the appoint- ,
ment of the .following sub-jcommittees:
Dr. George B. Cromer, Dr. O. B.
Mayer and C. M. Efird to co-operate <
with the Columbia committee in the
matter of the transfer of the property
from Charleston.
The Rev. Dr. C. A. Freed, Dr.
* George H. Sox, the Rev. R. C. HolJ
land and the Rev. E. C. Cronk to
arrange plans , for buildings and to
plan to canvass for funds.
Judge Williams Will Appear.
"Richmond, Va., Dec. 18.?Upon assurances
from counsel for Judge
Samuel. W. Williams, attorney general-elect
of Virginia, that the latter
will appear at the January term of
the McDowell county, W. Va., criminal
court for trial on the charge of
j assaulting ex-Judge Sanders in a
court room altercation, it is understood
that Gov. Swanson has asked
Gov. Glasscock of West Virginia to
withdraw his requisition for the at
torney-general-elect.
The requisition reached Gov.
Swanson to-day and almost at the
same time with it there came a telegram
from Judge Williams' counsel
at Roanoake, Va., as follows:
"We assure you that Judge Williams
will appear at the January term
of the criminal court of McDowell
county and that no requisition is or
ever has been necessary."
It appears from the affidavits accompanying
the requisition for the
person of Judge Williams that the indictment
charges malicious and fe1
lonious assault.
Precocious.
The late Francis H. Leggett, New
York's largest wholesale grocer, had
a contempt for the morals of the
| average Wall street man, says the
New Orleans State.
Mr. Leggett used to say:
"I once hired an errand boy, Who
after I had discharged him, no doubt
wentWn the street. There he should
y)> be doing well.
"The boy was from the country.
He only worked for me about two
days. The last day he was with me
I sent him out for $4 worth of
stamps, giving, him a $5 bill. ' .
. "When he came back with the
stamps he didn't offer me any change.
" 'Well,' I said impatiently, 'where
J is the change, Alfred?'
" 'There ain't any, sir,' said the
boy, 'Stamps has riz.'"
To Honor Dr. Carlisle.
Spartanburg, Dec. 17.?Congressman.
Joseph'Johnson has suggested
that a figure of Dr. James H. Carlisle,
late president of Wofford coli
lege, be placed in. Statuary Hall in
* the capitpl at Washington with that
of John C. Calhoun, recently placed
there, as the two greatest men the
State has produced.
"South Carolina has never produced
a greater man not excepting
John C. Calhoun, or anyone else, than
Dr. Carlisle," said Mr. Johnson. He
believes that it would be appropriate
for the State, as several others
have done, to select for this honor a
man who has not been in public life,
\ but who has had great influence in
moulding the destiny of the State.
Train a Mile Long.
Roanoake, Va., Dec. 17.?A train
'? of 120 steel cars carrying 6,000 tons
of coal and drawn by a single engine
left Roanoake for Norfolk to-day over
the Virginia railway. The train was
six feet more than a mile in length,
and is said to be the longest everl
drawn by one locomotive. i

. AIKEN FEDERAL BUILDING.
Construction Work will Probably
Begin in the Spring. Washington,
D. C., Dec. 17?Work
on the new Federal building at
Aiken, for which Representative Patterson
secured an appropriation of
$50,000 a year or two ago is to begin
in April or May. J. Knox Taylor,
supervising architect of the treasury,
to-day informed Mr. Patterson
that because of the crowded condition
of work in his office it had been
impossible to get to Aiken up to this
time, but that there need be no doubt
about the work beginning in the near
future. Bids will be called for in
the spring and in all probability the
contract will be at once awarded
which should insure the completion
of the building in about two years.
FOUGHT OVER FATHER'S GRAVE.
Two Richland Men Engage in Combat
While Placing Tombstone.
. Columbia, Dec. 17.?James Powers
was struck down, it is alleged, yesterday
morning over the grave of his
father as a result of a fight with a
man named Will Aughtry, assisting
him in placing a tombstone to the
grave. Aughtry is in the Richland
county jail tonight on a charge of
assault and battery. The dispute
arose over the placing of the tombstone.
Both parties are white. The
affair occurred in. the county, and
news of it reached Columbia only tonight.
Time to Plan for Next Season's Work.
Attention to the details of a piec?
Of work may mean' the difference between
success and failure in that
work, and it is for this reason that
we try to give each week matter of
tne most practical Kina on tne wortt
that is likely to be in progress during
that week. But no attention to
details and no knowledge of the best
way of doing things, however expert
such knowledge may be, will bring
success to the man who has not some
definite plan of work in mind?who
does not know what he wants to do.
And it is just this thing that ails
so many farmers: They are working
on year after year without having
any fixed idea of what they are really
trying to do?perhaps just going
along in the same old ruts year after
year because they cannot get up sufficient
energy or initiative to get out
of them, or possibly changing about
from one line of work to another as
their whims or the success or failures
of their neighbors may indicate. The
man who has the idea that there is
only one line of work which he can
pursue is not likely to be very successful
when circumstances and conditions
are continually changing.
But he is about as likely to succeed
as the man who changes his work
every year, who is a cotton planter
one year, a stock grower the next,
and a trucker the third.?Raleigh

BROOMS TO GO HIGHER.
;
Shortage in the Crop of Corn This
Year Will Cause Raise in Price.
Evansville, Ind., Dec. 17.?Estimates
of the visible supply of broom
corn in the country, nearly all of
which is controlled by two factories
in this city, make it certain that the
price of brooms will go up rapidly.
Officers of the combination here say
they would not be surprised to see
housewives paying $1 a piece for
brooms next year.
The shortage in the supply of corn
is so great that there is not enough
to make two brooms for each family
in the United States, it is figured.
Factories here are paying $240 a ton
for corn, while the normal price is
less than $90.
MUCH WHISKEY LEFT.
Dispensary Board Fails to Dispose of
Its Stock.
The county dispensary will have
about $4,000 worth of stock to advertise
aerain. the bids which were
opened on Wednesday not amounting
to more than $2,500, and there
was nearly a $7,000 stock on hand
to dispose of.
Many of the bidders did not comply
with the law, to put their bids
in triplicate, and file one with the
County Auditor,1 one with the Clerk
of Court, and one with the Dispensary
Board. Bids not in compliance
with the law wefe rejected.
Some bids were lower than the
cost price, and some of these were
rejected. A few were higher bveu
than the old retail, prices. ( t
The Board will make official announcement
of a new advertisement
in a few days.
It is hot true that the names of
successful bidders will be published,
and such bidders may rest easy?

W. Boyd Evans Goes to Washington
After District Attorney's Job.
'Washington, December 14.-?The
first gun in what promises to be a
big political fight in South Carolina
was fired here to-day with the arrival
of W. Boyd Evans, who will endeavor
to succeed District Attorney Ernest
L. Cochran, when the latter's term is
out, about February 1, 1910.
Mr. Evans reached Washington
this morning, and when seen by The
News and Courier correspondent with
regard to his candidacy said that he
had come to Washington for this pur
pose. It is understood that he is
backed with strong endorsements
from many lawyers in South Carolina.
It is understood also that, in addition
to Mr. Evans, Mr. P. H. Nelson,
of Columbia, will become a candidate.
John G. Capers, when asked about
the matter this afternoon, stated
that he had not recommended anyone
so far for the place, and that his
conference with Postmaster General
Hitchcock yesterday had no reference \
to this matter, but referred to postal ,
business in South Carolina.

A SIOUX RAID RECALLED.
Death of One Woman Who Escaped
A Prediction Verified.
Mrs. Henry Rathburn, who died a
her home near Traver recently, wa
the only woman who survived th
Sioux Indian raid in Decatur count;
in 1876, says the Oberlin, Kan., cor
respondent of the New York Sue
He husband was a scout with Lieu
tenant Austin Henley, of the lit]
United States Infantry.
In October, 1876, a band of Siou;
Indians returning from the Indiai
Territory to their former homes ii
the Black Hills country, crossei
western Kansas under fire of Federa
troops. In their flight through
catur county, and not far from th*
Nebraska line, they stopped lonj
enough in the valley of the Sappi
river to wreak vengeance on th*
white people who had pushed thei
settlements into that remote region
Mrs. Rathburn heard the shots froE
the Indian guns when a mile away
and by the aid or a neet pony escape
to safety five miles down the Sapp;
river.
Soon after the raid the Siou:
pitched their camp in a semi-circl
valley beneath the blufTs which fringe
the Sappa river. Lieutenant Henle;
attacked them there and in his re
port of the fight said: "Nineteei
dead warriors were counted; eigh
squaws and children were unavoid
ably killed by shots intended for th<
warriors." White men who visitei
the scene two days later countei
forty bodies of men, women and chil
dren lying promiscuously around thi
burned remains of their camp.
But one Indian made his escape
A young Indian without a family ii
the camp, and another older one mad<
a dash for their lives up the lonj
slooping hill to the north. When i
mue or more away rrom me seem
of the battle, the Indian with a fam
ily said to the other: "You are saf<
now, go on. I am going back to di<
with my family." He wheeled hi
pony and rode back in the valle;
to his death. The Cheyennes an*
Sioux still continue to sing the praisei
of the man who rode back to "di<
with his family."
Lieutenant Henley was drowne*
in Arizona while on duty a fe-s
months later. In connection wit]
his; death that incident is related
Whe he arrived at Fort Lyon, nea
the home of John Prower, the pion
eer cattleman of the upper Arkansas
he had among his effects some o
the ornaments and jewels capture*
in the Sappa river fight. Some o
these had been worn by the medi
cine men of the party and when Mrs
Prower, who was a full bloode*
Cheyenne, saw them she began i
crooning and mourning that lastei
three days.
"The man who is responsible fo:
the death of the medicine man wil
die within a year," she said, an*
her prediction was verified.
FEW PASSED CENSUS TESTS.
Only Fifty-four South Carolinian
Successfully Stood Examination.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.?Di
rector Durand, of the census bureau
to-day informed Representative Pat
terson that only 54 of the applicant
in South Carolina who recently stoot
examination for clerkship in the cen
sus bureau here had been successful
This covers , the entire State. Mr
Dnrand seemed to think that this in
ability to pass the examination sue
cessfully was no reflection on thos<
who attempted them, but was mon
to be accounted for by reason of th<
fact that the questions asked wen
largely those dealing with manufac
turing and kindred matters, abou
which many persons have littl*
knowledge. It is not yet showi
whether another opportunity will bi
given South Carolinians to try fo
these places.
, JOHN CHEEMER RELEASED.
Peculiar Development in Lauren
County Assault Case.
Laurens, Dec. 17.?John Creemer
the young white man who was ar
rested some days ago on the charg<
of criminally assaulting an age<
white woman at Youngs township, ha
been released from custody by th<
authorities here. The warrant ha
been withdrawn and the case will b<
dropped.
However, a warrant has been is
sued against a negro of that com
munity. Will Johnson, the first ne
gro arrested, is still in jail charge*
with the same crime.
The officers here scarcely kno-v
what to think of' this complicate*
case of arrest and release, charge an<
additional charge. As a matter o
fact they, it seems to the correspbn
dent, rather doubt the whole affair
Lawyer Stabs Client.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 18.?G. A. Car
ter, a Confederate veteran and a wel
known attorney, stabbed and prob
ably fatally wounded J. A. Smith, i
client, in the office of Justice of Peac<
Landrum here to-day. Smith, it i
said, accused Carter of accepting j
fee and not preparing to defend hin
in a pending case. Smith then at
tacked, when the latter drew a knife
stabbing his assailant in the ches
and shoulder. Carter later was ar
rested.
Negroes May Get Money Back.
Washington, Dec. 18.?If the ef
forts now being made to pass a bil
refunding more than a million dollars
to the beneficiaries of the Freedman's
Savings and Trust Company are sue
cessful, there will be distributed no
less than $20,000 to negroes in Sa
vannah, $30,000 in Charleston, $25,
000 in Richmond, $40,000 in Norfoll
and similar amounts in other cities
of the South.
Heretofore efforts to pass this bil
have failed, but its promoters believ<
that they will succeed. They hav<
designated W. T. Vernon, register o
the treasury, as the general custodial
of the fund, and as he is a, negro, anc
would probably know how to dis
tribute the money better than a whit<
man, it is not improbable that it ma]
become a law in the near future
Representative Southern Congress
men are now back of the move.
CLOSING DOWN ON TIGERS. Q
I. Greenville Police Active in Rounding
Up Liquor Law Violators.
t Greenville, December 11.?Some
s excitement is felt throughout this
e city on account of the wholesale capy
ture of illict liquor and the bringing
- of alleged blind tigers to the bar of
i. justice, through the work of two spe- ft
- cial detectives who have been workti
ing here for the past two weeks under
the authority of the police commisx
sion. Large quantities of Christmas
a booze have been seized and the vioa
lators, black and white, have been
1 brought in by the officers.
1 The city Court held session al
most continuouslv for eight hours to
e day, and it seems probable that the a
ej trials will continue through most of W
a the coming week. A large crowd at- 1
e tended the Court during the entire
r session, and listened with tense att.
tention to the testimony of the two
a detectives which was a complete surprise
to practically all. As a result
i of a development in one of the trials,
a Dr. W. C. Black, chairman of the
police commission, and J. H. Price,
i attorney for one of the defendants Q
e became engaged in personal ene
counter, but were quickly separated
y and j)ut under arrest by the police.
