J. Strait, who has been ap- c pointed superintendent of the State j hospital for the Insane, was a mem- t ber of the legislative committee j which recently investigated that in- c stitution. The report of the com- e mittee was unanimous, and as he signed the report we do not see how he can consistently accept the posi* - tion of superintendent. v At last the efforts of Bamberg peo- P pie to obtain another railroad are at ry an end, for the rails will be laid in- ? f] to town in the next few weeks. It has taken a long time and a lot of hard work on the part of a few people, and they are to be congratulat- j ed. A small bodv of men have been , h working on the railroad matter for years, but Messrs. Thos. Black and W. D. Rhoad have certainly done ^ valiant service since last movement was launched, and to them much credit is due for the fact that the road is about completed . V si . t We should have no State campaign this year. Each candidate ? should be allowed to make his cam- ^ paign in his own way. That's the way they do in other States, and we cannot see where the Democratic Ci party has any right to appoint cam- . paign meetings in every county in ^ the State and expect the candidates to attend. The expense of running for office in South Carolina is getting ^ beyond the means of anybody ex cept a wealthy man, and surely there . be few who will say that the campaign speeches are instructing the ^ people ^ ei AX ELEPHANT HUNT. * c< Huge Beast Escapes From Show Near g narisvine. n f( Hartsville, March 11.?A large a elephant, which escaped from a circus train said to have been wrecked jc to-day on the Seaboard, near Patrick, p] was killed tc-night in the Hall's Mill ^ neighborhood, six miles out, by a jj large party of men, which had fol- p lowed it for some time. It is said to S( have been a very large elephant by those present at the killing. It was shot into repeatedly and chopped into with axes and finally weakened y( and killed. It caused quite a stir in the sparsely settled portion of Chesterfield and Darlington counties d through which it travelled. lc Many wild reports were circulated j in Hartsville to-night about damage it had done. The military company ^ was asked for, and while it did not ^ go, of course, many men went from . e lc here and some were at the killing. ^ It is, of course, a great pity that it d was not watched and followed until a keeper could arrive on the scene, for ^ from all reports it does not appear to ? cl have attempted any violence to the party in pursuit, but since it was most unusual game for this part of the country the people can hardly be t blamed for making away with it in c their excitement. f a NEGRO SUICIDES. t Sticks Head in Springs of Cot and . Somersaults to Death. P Lumpkin, Oa., March 16.?Coler man Flannigan, a nesrro, about sixty e vears of age. committed suicide in e the jail here Saturday night by placing his head between the foot and springs of his cot and turning a somersault, breaking his neck. He had been placed in jail because of a i previous attempt to kill himself. I * COOL AMII) DANGER. 1 g Velleslev College Girls March Oat of * ' Duilding in Order. h Wellesley, Mas.. March 17.? ^ ci ^rfect discipline, coolness and brav- 0 ry on the part of the students and c acultv members, prevented loss of ti ? ife or injury, when College hall, the g ldest of the Wellesley college j. uildings, was burned to-day. \ The hundred and fifty young wo- e tien students, fifty instructors and ? t< ifty maids, were in bed when the ire was discovered. Every one was n aved, and not one of the scores who n r uarched in an orderly procession ^ hrough smokefilled hallways, suf- s ered so much as a scratch. n The building was left a blackened s hell. Within its crumbled walls was wreckage representing a loss of 1900,000. Of this amount $100,000 s i*as the estimated value of personal t. >roperty of the inmates, nearly all ^ s< )f whom escaped in scanty attire. nsurance will amount to about j< 1600,000. 1: Miss Ellen Fitz Pendleton, presi- n [ent of the institution, said another tructure would be erected in the p iear future. , s On account of the fire, the entire 0 x ollege was ordered closed until j. ^.pril 7, the end of Easter recess. n searly 1,000 of the 1,300 young wo- n nen had left for their homes to- 7 tight. President Pendleton took occasion j. o praise the conduct of the students s; ,s "extraordinary." . o "Never before," she sai?, "has a here been such a fire, with similar e onditions without loss of life or in- tl ury to someone. The obedience to ( he fire drill was a credit to the col- ^ n ege. There were no screams or ries heard and this in itself show- r, d perfect and marvellous control." q ? ; n S]>eakiiig of !5oa Constrictor. Dr. Frank Baldwin, of Illionis, ? ;ho recently returned from an evloring trip in the Philippine arch tielago, also sounds a new note re- i s< arding an unsavory reputation in i tj lie reptile kingdom. | sI 1M "All of my reading life," says Dr. J * laldwin, "I have regarded the boa bi onstrictor with horror and aversion, w had severely criticised his habit of 1 anging in loops from the jungle fc rees and of hauling up the unwary n< asserby from beneath, says Collier's cl Weekly. When I got into the jungle cc ly great desire was to meet up with Q. large boa under favorable condi- j ons to show my -detestation for him. w fhen I did find one, what was my nrprise to find my sentiments those ? f pity for the. snake. He was i tretched across the path, and when le natives saw him they pounced on im with yells of delight. That ia^e had no more to say about prosedings than the Republican party 1 Mississippi. He seemed dazed om the start. With a native for rery yard of him grabbing him ghtly he proceeded on legs through le jungle and down to the beach on le run, wigging feebly and hissing i a hopeless manner. There his ead was cut off with no more ceretony than is observed with a chick1 ? /?- 1 J . J ???^/\ ft /vl a m_ 1, ne was loiueu UgllUJ UUU a. uiamlell about three feet in diameter ad a fire built. In an hour he was loked, and in another hour this reat snake, which had been painllly accumulating feet and inches >r years, had disappeared. I felt little bit indignant. Here was a iumph of triple growth?a snake as >ng as a torchlight procession?a rohibition torchlight procession in tilwaukee?eradicated to make a ght lunch for fifty hungry men. or a minute I felt like turning con?rvationalist on the subject." The Xew Farmer. < There was a time, not so many ? gars ago, when the farmer was made le subject of humorous remarks rid his occupation was spoken of in erisive terms. It requires no specil feat of memory to hark back to le days when the average farmer's lie aim was to accumulate enough, y sacrifice;: or other means, to send ie< cftn +/-> ,;r>hnr?l in nrrior that thp AO OVA* WV IJV4&W& 444 V4 V4\/* V-4MV ? ^ itter might never be compelled to irm. But all that was before the ay of labor-saving farm machinery nd modern household conveniences: efore the era of high-priced beef nd other farm products; before scince had taken a hand in the farm perations. To-day the farmer is the ubstantial citizen of the community; he man with the snug little bank acount?not wealthy, but still comortably provided for. To-day thousnds of farmers' sons are attending heir various State Universities? ot for the purpose of studying medcine or law or theology, but for the mrpose of learning how to farm. \griculture has advanced from a ule-of-thumb art to a business basd on science.
