THOMAS J. GIBSON DEAD.
I
Was Under Bond Fending Appeal to
Supreme Court.
Columbia, June 3.?Thomas J.
Gibson, under sentence of three years
for receiving $12,500 worth of State
bonds from former Bond Clerk Daniel
Zimmerman, of the State Treasurer's
office, died to-day at his home on Park
street, in his 77th year, after an illness
which has dated since his trial 2
years ago. The funeral will be held
* Saturday morning from his home,
* and interment will be in Elmwood
Cemetery.
f ?
Mr. Gibson was at liberty under
bond, pending a motion before the
circuit court for a new trial, on the
ground of after-discovered evidence,
the supreme court having passed an
order to this effect. Mr. Zimmerman
\ was pardoned last year.

Mormon Elders Arrested.
Gaffney, June 2.?On May 16 two
fy
men known as Mqrmon elders came
r to Gaffney and commenced to dis>
seminate their doctrine in the Limestone
mill village. When Mr. Cash,
the superintendent of the plant,
learned of their operations, he noli"
" tified them, through Mr. Rodgers, one
of his foremen, that they must get
off and stay off.
Last Saturday Mr. Cash found that
they were still in the village, and at
once went before Magistrate Phillips
? and had him issue a warrant for the
it * * arrest of both men. They promptly
gave bond after their arrest, and the
V ' case was tried by a jury yesterday.
The prosecution proved the case, as
outlined above, and the defendants
put up no testimony. The defendants'
counsel contended that there was no
evidence that the /defendants had
P|*. ever left the premises after being
' warned, and that therefore there was
no entry after notice. After deliberating
about 15 minutes the jury
returned a verdict of "not guilty."
1/ When seen after the trial the defencl'
ants said they had no desire to violate
the laws and that they would
not again go upon the premises.
Negro Killed by Falling House. I
Williston, June 3.?This section
fe-;. was visited last night by a very high
, wind storm which blew down trees
and did other damage. Just below
\ Elko it blew down the barns of S. B.
, Hair, killing a very fine horse and
S " probably fatally injuring another,
Ifv- ' ' besides doing damage to other live
stock, and farm products that were
^ in the building.
At Powell's mill, about five miles
south, the wind blew down a tenant
'? house, killing a negro man in it and
severely injuring another negro.
A short distance from this scene of
death the lightning struck the house
>* \ of another negro, setting it afire. The
? * negro escaped unharmed but fled with
all haste, declaring that the comet
' * had fallen and struct his yard. So
^ /a fully was he convinced of the near?ness
of the end of the world that he
could not be persuaded to return to
his burning house to save any of his
... ' property from the flames.

KILLED BY BURSTING TIRE.
Flying Inner Tube Almost Severs
Man Head from Body.
While seated on an embankment
near his home at Marcus Hook, Pa.,
watching his brother-in-law, Charles
Guyer, pump air into the tires of J
his automobile, Frank D. Marshall,
aged 45 years, was struck in the face'
by the inner tube of the tire, which I
exploded with a loud report. The
tire cut his face horizontally across
the bridge of his nose and it was
found necessary to tie up his head
to keep his features in tact. He died
, within ten mintes after the accident
and before he could have been taken
to the hospital. The accident was
witnessed by the dead man's wife,
who was standing in the doerway of
herNhome.

A Complete Combination.
William T. Stead, editor of th<
English Review of Reviews, tells the
story of an Irishman who applied t(
one of his friends for a position as
coachman.
" 'You know, Pat, if I engage voi
I shall expect you to do things bj
combination. For instance, if I tel
you to bring the carriage around at i
given time, I shall expect the horses
with it and driving gloves, etc.'
" 'Yes, sorr,' said Pat.
"He was duly engaged and gave
satisfaction. One day his mastei
came to him telling him to look sharf
and go for a doctor as his mistress
was ill. Pat was gone for a Ion?
time, and on his master grumbling al
him for his delay he said: 'Sure
they're all here, sorr.'
" 'All here?' said the master' What
do you mean?'

The Horse's Prayer.
Patlr&tic and ironical as it maj
seem, the horse looks up to man as
his god. In the Swedish they have a
"Prayer of the Horse," addressed tc
his human lord and master, which in
sum is as follows:
"O lord, my master, I thank and
adore you for the kind word you
spoke to me long ago, and I strive in
the hope that you will pet me once in
a while. If I can not understand
what you wish me to do, please be patient
and show me. Don't beat me 01
jerk on "Che reins, but look and see ii
something isn't wrong with the harness.
"I beg of you not to whip me going
up hill, nor give me loads heavier
than I can pull. Keep me shod so
that I can get a foothold, and don't
let the farrier cripple my feet. If I
am sick or have an ulcerated tooth,
go easy with me for a day, as I am
beside myself with pain.
"Oh, grant me cool, clean water in
the hot weather, and let me not eat
my foddef dry.
<#Finally, when my strength is
gone, and I can not any more work
for you enough to be worth my keep,
I beseech of you, don't let me be
sold to drag a vender's cart, but take
my life in the quickest and easiest
way, and God will reward you in this
life and in heaven. Amen."?New

Storm at Blackville.
At eleven o'clock last night a wind
storm accompanied by rain struck
Blackville. The rain was driven with
such force that, it penetrated the
best shingle roofs, new buildings that
had never been known to leak were
literally drenched. Many of the
streets were blocked by fallen limbs
and trees, some fencing roofs and
sheds, smoke stacks and stove flues
were blown down, so far we have not

Reminiscences of 1876.
In the special election vacancies
there was apathy among Republicans
throughout' the State that we did not
2 understand. We were in Charleston
i on special election day and on no
- previous or later visits was the good
- old city quieter. Afterward we learnc
ed from Judge T. J. Mackey the
cause why the Republican vote was
t so small. Just here let us digress to
- state that Judge Mackey was one of
t the most interesting and interested
personages of that period. His life
- was one of adventure from the begin
ning of his career, as a soldier with
- Mexico, to its close in Washington
Inst vear. when it was stated that all
the income he had for his support as
the infirmities of age multiplied and
s increased was his Mexican war penl
sion of twenty dollars a month. He
j was a kinsman of E. W. M. Mackey,
, speaker of the Chamberlain house,
but there existed no love between
t them. In the campaign of 1877,
. Judge Mackey though a' Republican
I and holding the office of circuit Judge
t through his election by a Republican
, Legislature, aligned himself enthusiastically
with the Democracy in support
and advocacy of the Hampton and
k Home Rule movement. When the spe- 1
! cial elections were ordered in 1877, '
' Judge Mackey, as he told us, was the 1
. head of the Union League in South
r Carolina and he ordered it closed.
[ That organization had up to that
time had absolute control of the Republican
vote in the rural sections
t of the State. It was also the news 1
bureau through which the masses of
j the Republican voters received in- 1
structions and information, and its
? closing by 'order of Judge Mackey !
ended its meetings and its political
power. Judge Mackey was the only j
> Republican circuit Judge re-elected
by the Democratic Legislature. *
The session was necessarily lengthy, i
for eight years of reckless govern- (
mental extravagance had brought the 3
State to the very verge of ruin, made ]
1 its name almost a by-word and re- .
proach and lowered, appallingly the i
' standards of official character and 1
1 conduct. The manner in which the '
Legislature measured up to the weight- \
iest responsibilities that ever chal- <
lenged an American legislature is 1
1 now a matter of recorded history, ,
L to be found in the printed profceed- (
ings in the libraries of the State, and i
her lawyers.
, All the State officers of that renaissance
have passed to the higher
life, but their names and records are
, worthy to be deep carved in the gran|
ite wall of the capitol, to be preserved
( in the hearts and memories of those
. that inherit the better government
and purer citizenship accomplished *
through the sacrifice and service of {
the men of '76. <

The Barnwell delegation serving
t during 1876-77 consisted of:
1 Senator Jones M. Williams, a planter
of large possessions, a citizen of
V great usefulness and deserved popularity
and uplifting influence. His
heart was not robust and the exposures
and excitement of that historic
winter were thought to have hastened
his death. He was succeeded by Col.
T. J. Counts, one of the most remark
able men physically and intellectually '
: that Barnwell has ever honored.
Capt. Isaac Bamberg was chair- j
man of the house delegation, having 1
received the largest vote in general 5
election. In army and civil life he .
? <
' embodied the best virtues of the high- j
est patriotic citizenship. As a mem- <
ber of the commission to investigate
' the bonded indebtedness of the State, 1
' he rendered luminous and long last- ;
ing service. He died while holding '
the office i>f State Treasurer in Gov- 1
ernor Richardson's administration.
As a s&hool boy Laurens W. You- 1
1 mans entered the Confederate army
and fought until the final furling of
the flag at A'ppomatox. He had a
- lar^e influence in the house and the
. creation of Hampton county was the
r expression of the confidence of the
1 Legislation in his assurance that it
f would be Democratic. He afterwi "d
t served one term as State Senator. lie
3 completed his education at home by
7 wise reading and became in the his
tory and philosophy of finance the
c best informed man in the State. Some
3 years ago when the county was burd
dened by a heavy debt, at the solicitas
tion of the legislative delegation and
5 other citizens, he consented to serve
as a county commissioner, with Mr.
- v'..
Ashley Stansill, as co-workers with
Supervisor J. B. Morris. At the end
of the term every debt of the county
was discharged, and a handsome surplus
remained to its credit. For his
valuable service he made no charge,
paying all the expenses incurred for
travel, board and extra clerical work
out of his private funds'. His body
rests at Lawtonville, but his memory
is among the best treasures of his
family and friends.
As chairman of the judiciary committee
and in the floor debates on all
weighty debates, Representative Robert
Aldrich laid the broad and sound
foundations of his distinguished career.
In any intellectual line of life
work, he could have won high distinction.
As an editor he would have
combined the force of Watterson and
the brilliancy of Grady. As a public
speeker such wise authority as Leroy
F. Youmans pronounced Col.
Aldrich's eulogy of Governor Hampton
the most eloquent oration ever
delivered in our State hoube. He was
later a State Senator and now fills
the position of circuit Judge. He is
the only survivor of the Wallace
house holding an office in South Carolina.
Milledge A. Rountree was and is
one of the most lovable men we have
ever known. Of his own will, the
cause won, he retired to the home
life in which he found and gave so
much happiness. For many years he
has resided in Augusta.

DISTRICT SUMMER SCHOOL.
Dffice of County - Superintendent of
Education, Bamberg County, May
12th, 1910.
The Aiken-Bamberg-Barnwell Dis;rict
summer school for white teachers
will be held at Aiken, S. C., beginning
June 13, 1910, at 12 m., and
ilosing July 8, 1910. The County
Board of Education requests all
;eachers who expect to teach in thv.
:hree counties to attend this school,
ill teachers are also urged , to enter
it the opening of the school, attend
egularly, and stand the examinations
it the close or the school. The re
lewai or certincates is iorDiaaen Dy
aw unless the holder of the certificate
attends a summer school for
:eache?s. All teachers who fail to
ittend the summer school will have
in opportunity to stand the fall eximination.
But the board recomnends
that the teachers attend the
summer school because many schools
ivill open before the fall examination,
ind no teacher is allowed to begin
;eaching until her certificate is regstered
with the County Superintendent
of Education. The failure to at;end
the summer school or to stand
:he examination will place the relewal
of the certificates in the hands
>f the State Superintendent of Education.
The course of study will be Engisl},
Grammar, Pedagogy, Algebra,
Arithmetic, History, Civics, and Physiology?Civics
and Physiology to
ilternate?two weeks each?and Primary
Methods. In order to establish
i standard and in order to mane the
vork of the school more beneficial,
:he County Boards of the three coun:ies
jointly and unanimously passed
:he following resolution:
"Resolved, that no certificate in the
counties of this district shall be reaewed
save upon the presentation of
i certificate from the principal of the
school that the holder of a certificate
has completed successfully, including
the examinations and lectures,
^hree regular courses offered in the
school."
In addition to the regular course
is outlined above, there has been arranged
for the white school a series
3f lectures to be given by some of the
leading educators and professional
men of the State. This series of lec
tures alone will be invaluable t? the
teachers. There will be about twelve
lectures in the course, and special
efforts have been made to make it the
most distinct feature of the school.
There will be a district school for
the negro teachers of Aiken-Bamber&Barnwell
counties at Barnwell, S. C.,
beginning June 13, and ending July
8th. The course of study will be:
English Grammar, Pedagogy, Geography,
History, Arithmetic, and Civics
and Physiology?Civics and Physiology
to alternate?two weeks each.
The conditions for attendance and
renewal of certificates for the negro
teachers will be the same as those
given above for the white teachers.
