Columbia, August 26.?With his
back peppered with shot and having c
been chased through two counties by \
several posses of citizens, Harvey t

who is serving a sentence from Spar- t
tanburg county, on the charge of en- s

lege, ana who made nis escape c
through a heavy volley of shot near $
the State penitentiary last Saturday, e

Bradford was forced to make bis es- +
cape out of several communities in c

Bradford was considered a dangerous
prisoner at the State peniten- v
tiary and was kept on line duty, j
Last Saturday morning he was cut- s
ting wood near Crane Creek when he j
decided to leave. He was working c
near a guard who fired several shots, y
i The negro took to the woods and
was soon lost. The bloodhounds at r

The negro was chased for
over fifteen miles when the dogs lost c
the trail. Several days after Brad- c
ford appeared on the plantation of t
John G. Mobley, near Winnsboro. y
His peculiar actions attracted suspicion
and an attempt was made to F
arrest him. In the chase he was E
shot in the back with a shot. gun. ^
On Thursday he appeared in Chester
county near the home of S. W. Weir, y
Mr. Weir, together with William 0
* Banks, organized a posse and cap- t
tured the negro. Mr. Weir and Mr. d
Banks brought Bradford to the peni- a

to Capt Griffin. There was a reward f
of $100 for his arrest. c
OLD PRINCETON CUSTOMS. *
r Students Forbidden to Employ a Hair I
Dresser on Sunday.
Speaking of old customs at Prince- ^
* ton University, Dr. John B. Sturges c
of Springfield, 111., was seen at the e
Shoreham, said that the strict obser- y
vance of Sunday laws was at one 0
i time one of the most important fac- c
tors at the college. - ^
"A hint that more luxurious hab- p
v its were creeping into college life is f
found in the edition of the laws issu- ^
ed in 1802," said Doctor Sturges, t
"where it is stated that no student b
> shall employ any. barber or hair dresser
to shave or dress him on the Sab- Q
bath and also that no student shall n
keep for his use or pleasure any p
? horse or riding beast, nor shall any ^
student keep a dog or gun or firearms n
or ammunition of any kind. Ten years t(
later the words sword, dirk, sword
cane or any deadly weapon whatever
were added to the list of contraband
articles and remained in the laws for
several college generations.
i "In the middle of the nineteenth
onnooroH flipPO.t'prt ?
ceniury <t new i me w>
against horn spees, a form of under- a
graduate bedevilment of authority
> that had not been thought of in ear- f(
lier days. At a preconcerted signal 11
on a dark night', from behind a tree a
on the campus, the tooting of innum- k
erable horns would suddenly break b
the silence. The din was hideous, ^
and the college proctor, and often
the vice president, himself would be n
out hunting the dodging figures. It r'
was to stop this amusement that the P
law against' the blowing of horns was
put into operation. t!
4 "The college still forbids under- Q
graduates to keep dogs in their rooms s<
and they are not allowed to discharge e
firearms or kindle bonfires on the uni- e
^ versity grounds. It is a mystery d
Pp where the scores of fox terriers and v
bull pups which seem to be the fa- t]
vorite pets of the modern undergrad- v
uate, are kept, and the din that o
echoes around the campus during T
what is called "Polar's recess," at 9 d
v f o'clock in the evening, during the ^
examination period, signalizing a few r
minutes' respite from hard study in c
* preparation for the tests of the next c
day, seems to indicate that there are 0
^ exceptions to the rule against dis- v
i charging firearms too numerous for e
^ ' the procter to handle." j.

First Bale Sola.
Branchville, August 26.?The first
k bale of new cotton marketed in
Branchville was sold here to-day by 1
E. H. Besinger, of Bamberg county. h
The bale of cotton weighed 407 n
pounds and brought 14% cents per
pound, which totaled $60.03. P.
Earle Dukes was tne ouyer.
Don't Break Down.
Severe strains on the vital organs, 1
like strains on machinery, cause n
break-downs. You can't over-tax
K stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or f
r nerves without serious danger to
L yourself. If you are weak or run- *
down, or under strain of any kind, \
j take Electric Bitters the matchless, f
tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de
Sande, of Kirkland, 111., writes: That r
- I did not break down, while endur- s
' ing a most severe strain, for three f
months, is due wholly to Electric
Bitters." Use them and enjoy health c
and strength. Satisfaction positively s
J guaranteed. 50c at Peoples Drug 1

BARE FOOT EXERCISE.
L Stirring Defense of a Scotch National
Custom.
In a report to Glasgow parish
ouncil on the children act, Dr. Wiliam
Culler, the district medical oficer,
says: "The habit of going with
he feet bare is something of a naional
custom in Scotland, and if less
een now than several years ago that
s solely because of the changing
ustonis of the people, and in no sense
lue to any diverse influence that it
ver had on the health, says the Lon!on
Daily Mail.
"If the wealthier sections of the
ommunity do not now, in the city,
>ermit their children to exercise in
he naked feet, they familiarly dress
hem in sandals and cotton socks?a
ustom which has little more than the
irtae of cleanliness to recommend it.
"Even the kilt?the national garb

tanding every proof to the contrary,
father Kniep, whose cure?the Kniep
ure?was largely in vogue some
ears ago (and is still so, though to a
ess degree), founded all conditions
>f good health on exercise in the
laked feet.
"In three separate industries loated
in one part of the city there
an he seen daily, summer and winer,
going to their employment, adult
oung women in their bare feet. And
luring nearly 20 years' parochial experience
in that neighborhood, I have
tever heard it suggested that they
iere physically any the worse for it.
"The sensation of cold is a natiral,
physical call for exercise, and
nly intensifies to one of pain when
he call is neglected, or opportunity
oes not permit its being attended to;
,nd just as exercise, by becoming
ustomary, lessons in the degree of

lUcit Distillery in snaaow oi mpiuu.
Washington, August 25.?Two
isheville revenue officers have suceeded
in bringing to task the ownrs
of a still that is being irregulary
operated almost within the shadow
>f the dome of the United States
apitol. The'still is a registered one,
lut the officers discovered an employee
in the act of transporting
rom the warehouse connected with
t a barrel of corn whiskey on which
he internal revenue tax had not
een paid. The result was that the
mployee and the booze spent the
ight at the station house, and the
ext morning the owners of the
lace were added to the quarry and
aken before the United States com-:
lissioner. A hearing will be had
o-morrow.
Revenue Officers James A. Pierce
nd L. F. Hansborough, who are well
nown in Asheville as contraband
ooze chasers, were the men who did
he trick in Washington. The owners
f the still, who are implicated in the
ffair, came to Washington some
ime ago from Louisville, Ky., and
or some time they have been turnig
out 100 gallons of corn whiskey
day. Ttiey nave naa a reauy maiet
for their product. Most of it
as been handled in acordance with
be revenue laws, but the office of
he commissioner of internal reveue
became suspicious, and the arests
caused by the agents of the deartment
were the result.
The revenue officers stationed
hemselves near the distillery in
uestion and watched operations for
ome time. A negro driver in the
mploy of the concern, which is calld
the Capital Supply company,
rove up to the back door of the
warehouse. One of the managers of
he company rolled a barrel into his
ragon, the driver pulled the curtain
f his wagon down, and drove off.
'hen the officers took a hand, and
iscovered that the barrel was filled
rfth corn whiskey, and that had no
evenue stamps attached. The negro
laimed that he did not know the
ontents of the barrel, but was only
beying orders of his employees. He
,'as locked up, however, and waived
xamination, being committed to jail.
lis employers were then arrested
nd will be arraigned to-morrow beore
the commissioner.
The boldness of the operations of
he Capital Supply company in
candling illicit whiskey in broad dayight
in Washington served to startle
he revenue department.
Where America Leads.
Robert Herrick, an author, praised
q an after-dinner speech in Chicago
he philanthropy of the American
aillionaire.
"Our millionaires, with all their
aults " he said, "are in their chariics
the most liberal men in the world.
<Ve sh uld be- glad that no American
ashi mable pisacher can say of his
ich parishioners what I once heard
i London fashionable preacher say
rom the pulpit very bitterly.
" 'Our upper classes,' the preacher |
ineered, 'don't give according to their |
neans, but according to their meaniess.'

CARLISL FITTING SCHOOL
Of Wofford College Reopens September
21, 1910.
It is with no small degree of pleasure
that I record the fact that stands
as the caption of this article. It
brings pleasure and satisfaction to
the citizens of Bamberg and when we
consider the fact that its reopening
gives Methodism control of the preparatory
situation in our State, it
brings hearty approval from every
loyal Methodist.
Such a reopening was made possible
by the action of the boaid of
education at its recent session in Abbeville,
at which time an assessment
of $1,500 was called for, the proceeds
of whi<?h were to be used in
re-establishing the work of this
school. During the session of the
board of education a telegram was
received from Mrs. M. A. Bamberg
and her daughter, Mrs. Alma B.
Hays, pledging $ 1,000 as a nucleus
for a permanent endowment. The
board properly realized that the hour
had come when the school should be
placed again among the working
forces of our conference.
The entire plant, which is the propty
of the Methodist Church, is easily
valued at $35,000. It consists of the
main building, made of brick, the
dormitory for girls and the dormitory
for boys with combined accommodations
for seventy-five students.
The head master's home, which is a
neat two-story building, occupies a
corner lot on Carlisle street overlooking
the large campus which lies
hpt-a-pf^n the main building and the
boys' dormitory. In the rear oi the
head master's home and facing Carlisle
street are three cottages, also
a part of the plant. In the main
building are to be found the recitation
rooms, the two literary society
halls, the large chapel, the music
room, and the library of, about one
thousand volumes. The recitation
rooms are being thoroughly overhauled
and new and up-to-date desks are
being installed. Repair work is going
forward in the dormitories. Hot
and cold baths are being installed
and grates to take the place of the
open fire places. The purpose of
those in charge is to have everything
in good shape by the opening, Septerber
21st.
On the campus is an artesian well
which supplies the dormitories, head
master's home, and adjacent cottages
with water. This water is used for
all purposes and the health record of
the students has been really remarkable.
The school is happy in its selection
of a head master. A young man,
a former student of tue school, said
- 3 ? ? ?- 4 4 T V* rt tta q 1_

ways wanted to attend a school where
Prof. Guilds was head master." To
know Prof. Guilds is to understand
this remark. J. Caldwell Guilds took
his preparatory work at the Wofford
Fitting School in Spartanburg, going
thence into the college proper where
he graduated in the clas of 1906.1
Since then until the close of the year
1909 he taught in the Carlisle Fit-I
ting School. In the fall of 1909 he
entered Vanderbilt University and
the following spring took the degree
of M. A. He comes to us well equipped
and with the highest esteem of
every citizen of our town. I know of
no young man better equipped in
body, mind and heart for the
training and uplifting of the young
men and young women who may be
placed under him. [
William C. Duncan comes to us
highly recommended and while he is
a stranger to me I understand thatl
he is excellently fitted for the work
he is undertaking. He is a graduate
of Wofford and has had two years' I
successful experience in teaching. I
While at Wofford he did special work
in mathematics, which branch he is
to teach.
Daniel L. Betts is a son of W. A.
Betts. He is a graduate of Wofford
College and won the Hart Moss history
prize while there. His teachers
report him to be a young man of ex
cellent character, ana a urwca wwm.er.
He has had special training in
his branches?Greek and Latin. Has
had considerable experience as tutor
in Latin
The department of music is in
charge of Miss Annie Lou Byrd, of
Bamberg. Miss Byrd, in addition to
her work at the Converse Conservatory,
continued her training at the
Washington College of Music. She
is a musician of rare ability and has
had most successful experience as a
teacher.
. So far as a faculty is concerned
the school can count itself fortunate
in having these teachers occupy the
varied chairs of instruction.
To a former student of this school
it is only necessary to ray that Mrs.
Josephine Beach is still matron of
the boys' dormitory. Mrs. Beach has
been in this position for seven years
and seems peculiarly fitted for this
work. Kind and affectionate she
soon occupies a large place in the
heart of each boy. To the sick boy
she is as gentle and as tender as a
mother, and she knows how to feed
SAVES CHILD FROM DEATH.
Woman Stands for Eight Hours in
Cistern Until Husband Comes.
Sedan, Kan., August 26.?Standing
in five feet of water in the bottom
of a cistern at her home near
here, Mrs. John Burch, wife of a
farmer, for eight hours held aloft
her 2-year-old child until the arrival
of her husband to-day.
The child had fallen into the cistern
and the mother immediately
sprang after it, seized the baby in
her arms, raised it above the surface
of the water and called for help.
Xo one was within hearing of the
woman's calls and she waited for the
return of her husband from his work
in the fields.
After beiner taken from the cis
tern Mrs. Burch collapsed and is
dangerously ill, but the child suffered
no illness.

every portion of his anatomy.
At the same time a loud buzzing filled
the room. Then followed turmoil.
Other occupants of the house who
came to investigate the disturbance
found Gard in the costume of a prehistoric
warrior, vainly swinging a
wet bath towel and waging a battle
against a swarm of bees that had
invaded the bath room through a

the well boy.
Mrs. Mamie I. Varn has been secured
as matron of the girls' dormitory.
While it has never been my
good fortune to meet ner i taite
pleasure in quoting from Brother
T. L. Belvin, one of our Methodist
ministers, "I was Mrs. Varn's pastor
for four years and the Carlisle Fitting
School is fortunate in securing
her services as matron."
The course of study at the school is
in accord with the requirements of
the Southern Association of Colleges
and Preparatory Schools. With the
teachers now in the school this means
that students who finish this course
will be thoroughly prepared for any
college or university in the South.
Those who do not find themselves
able to continue their studies will
have a fair working education. In
order that this course of studv may
be thoroughly and properly tarried
out a study hall will be conducted
by one of the teachers for those students
who have difficulties or who
are negligent of their work when left
to study in their rooms. This will

for the boy or girl who is
backward or careless.
The moral and religious life of the
students is closely watched by the
faculty and they are constantly encouraged
along these lines. They
have a Y. M. C. A. which furnishes
them opportunity for work among
themselves. Students are required
to attend services at some church
every Sunday morning and Sundayschool
at the church of their parents'
designation.
In almost, if not in every charge,
there are young people who are
ready to take up this preparatory
work. Prof. Guilds has been tireless
in his efforts to see the young people
in this entire section but no one man
can cover the whole ground. We are
now within four weeks of the opening.
The prospects are encouraging.
Let every pastor who has a worthy
young man or young woman in his
charge who should be in such a
school drop Prof. Guilds a card at
once and then back up this card with
a personal word to the young student
urging the claims and merits of
our own school.
