I SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS. Enrollment Exceeds Any Previous Session. Rock Hill, June 17.?Winthrop Summer School opened yesterday. The preliminery enrolment, which is not yet complete, is far in excess of the total term enrolment of any previous session, and this will be a record-making one. Dr. Johnson welcomed the teachers and assured them that everything would be done for their comfort and well being. He outlined the course of study, and also introduced the different instructors, who told of "nrna r\f their TllflnS. OV/iXi \J x. jf - ? Mr. Edward James Banks, of Chicago, will lecture to-night. He is field director of the expedition of the Oriental exploration fund of the University of Chicago, and his subject will be in line with his work. ??^ rWireless Telephones for Railways To call a friend by telephone and hold unexpected conversation with him while flying by his city in a luxurious Pullman car at sixty miles an hour, promises soon to be a practical adventure for the traveler. Recent tests of the wireless telephone | apparatus for railway trains have given every satisfaction. These tests j were made on the Delaware, Lacka- I wanna and Western railroad, following similar successful tests of wireless telegraph installations upon the same road. Radiotelephone apparatus was recently installed at Scranton, Pa., up ? on one of the road's through trains. Despite the fact that the work was hurriedly done, it was found possible, upon second trial, to maintain a clear voice connection with the train as far as Stroudsburg, Pa., which is some 53 miles distant. Messages were sent and received while the cars were moving at 60 miles and more an hour. The antennae of the station at Scranton are 300 feet long and 150 feet high, while on the train they only extend over the four forward cars, the radio station being on the second c - car from the locomotive. On account of the noises of the train, it was necessary to use an amplifier, giving from fifty to sixty times amplification. The energy of the plant r-:" i was generated by a steam turbine in the baggage coach, which was supplied with steam from the steamheating pipes beneath the car. While the apparatus tested upon the car was of low power, no difficulty was experienced in telephoning from Scranton to Binghampton, a distance of 67 miles over wooded and mountainous country. The officials of the road purpose to make perma I1C11 I lildldliailUU yj I IJL Cl^CO ? 4V^C I on two of their fast trains. ? . ^ Vera Cruz Customs Problem. ' _______ "According to a cablegram from Gen. FunstOn, goods to the value of > upwafd of 2,000,000 pesos?$1,000,000?consigned to various points in Mexico, are now in the custom house at Vera Cruz,"' said Thomas B. McManus, of New York. * "Gen. Funston notified the war department that the owners of these * goods are asking that they be returnturned to them and that they be allowed to withdraw duties. The Sectary of State conferred with the Secretary of Commerce and learned that . the American custom in such cases is to permit the withdrawal of goods held in a custom house within a certain time specified by law. The Mexican law provides that goods held in bond in a Mexican custom house may be withdrawn with the consent of the Mexican minister of finance, but Gen. Funston finds himself unable to communicate with the minister of finance, if such an official is recognized by the United States, and inasmuch as a very large proportion of the goods thus held are of a perishable variety, he asks for instructions as to what disposition should be made of them. "The Secretary of State, after con ferring with the Secretary of Commerce. recommended to the Secretary of War that all goods of a perishable character be returned to the agents of the consignors, and that the owners of those goods which .would not deteriorate be required to deposit with the temporary collectors of customs at Vera Cruz the amount of Mexican duties, so that when the United States comes to a final settlement with Mexico and an accountability of that Republic of its stewardship of the customs at Vera Cruz, it can give an accurate accounting. "The question as to the final disposition of the duties thus deposited must, of course, be left to future consideration. l nis aecision on ine pan 01 me Secretary of State, which will undoubtedly receive the approval of the Secretary of War, will release at least S2?50.000 worth of American goods pf a perishable character now held in the custom house at Vera Cruz, and probably an equal amount of foreign goods held under the same conditions." JURY FAILS TO AGREE. Mistrial Ordered in Joseph G. Sullivan Case. Laurens. June 21.?A mistrial was ordered this morning shortly after 8 o'clock by Judge Frank B. Gary in the case of Joseph G. Sullivan, who was placed on trial- in the court of general sessions for Laurens county Friday morning, charged with the murder of Col. John M. Cannon at Gray Court. May 12. The jury in the case was discharged acd the court I formally adjourned a^er the judge directed tnat tne aeienaani De neiu for the next term of the court on a bond of $5,000, the same amount allowed when the young prisoner was admitted to bail a week after the homicide. The same sureties signed the bond this morning and the defendant soon thereafter left for his home in Sullivan township, accompanied by his father and a brother, who remained in the city during the night. As stated in these dispatches last night, the case was given to the jury shortly before 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. After deliberating on the case for some time, the jury filed back into the court room and asked for further explanation on some points at issue in the trial. This was given and again the jury retired. At midnight it was evident to the outside that a disagreement on a verdict would be the result, but there was no indication from the jury room after the second retirement that an I agreement was likely during the night. It is understood the jury was hopelessly divided from the first. The next term of court will be held in September. Sawdust Bricks for Fuel. Every time a thousand feet of cut lumber are turned out 350 pounds of sawdust drnns off in waste. In the province of British Columbia alone the annual lumber output is estimated at 1,350.000,000 feet. This means a sawdust waste of 236,250 tons. The theory that sawdust could be made worth more than a useless pile on a dump heap, or coverings for barroom floors and icy sidewalks, has long been germinating. Now two British Columbia.concerns are beginning to compress sawdust into bricks, or briquets, to be sold for fuel, and the same thing can be done in Washington, Oregon, Michigan, and other timber States. It is estimated that the 236,250 tons of sawdust waste in British Columbia alone would be worth $1,417,500 if turned into bricks at $6 per ton. It is estimated that the cost including depreciation, interest on the capital, insurance and other items would average $3 per ton. The sales on the market would vary according to the price for ordinary wood and coal, and some claim that the briquets are superior to both for grate fires. A special process to make sawdust briquets has been evolved, and special machinery is being perfected. One of the things needed is a compressing machine. The original cost is from $12,000 to $14,000, but such a machine has a maximum pressure of 10,000 pounds to the square inch, and can turn out an average of 11,000 briquets an hour. The briquets average three inches in diameter and are held together by a tarred jute string. A Bad Memory.Mr. Cox, a hotel proprietor, had among his colored servants, a woman named Esther Dodge, and this name continued on the pay roll long after Esther had taken unto herself a better half One morning Mr. Cox called Esther to him and sugested a change on the pay roll by giving the woman the name she had a right to be known by. The woman listened quietly to the proposal and then turned to go. "Why, Esther," said her employer. "I do not know your name. Just tell it to'me before you go." Esther stood for some little time in ail attitude of profound thought, her dusky hand across her swarthy brow, and at last exclaimed: ".My lands, boss! I jest can't 'member dat nigger's name nohow."?National Monthly. Respecting His Prejudices. There was a man in Cleveland who entertained many progressive ideas, and one of these ideas was a prejudice against burial. He wished to be cremated. His weeping widow took the remains to the crematory in due season. "How do you wish this done?" asked the manager. "I know nothing about it," sobbed the widow. "I want his last wishes carried out. That's all I know." "Well, we have the French method, the German method and the very popular Milanese method of cremation. Have you any choice?" "Oh. please use the German method. My poor husband always hated French and Italian cookery!"?Cleveland Plain Dealer. FACTS AND FICTION " Experience of Bamberg Citizens Are Easily Proven to be Facts. The most superficial investigation will prove that the following statement from a resident of Bamberg is true. Read it and compare evidence from Bamberg people with testimony of strangers living so far away you cannot investigate the facts of the case. Many more citizens of Bamberg endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. James A. Mitchell, R. F. D. mail carrier, Calhoun St., Bamberg, says: "The jar and jolting in driving was no doubt responsible for the trouble I had with my back Two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the People's Drug Store, brought me relief.

HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Tears of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock I I writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during ! j this time, I could only sit up for a little I _ while, and could not walk anywhere at | all. At times, I would have severe pains i in my left side. 1 The doctor was called in, and his treat- dm ment relieved me for a while;' but I was 9 soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good; 1 I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle ol Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1 com- j menced taking it. From the very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly j troubles, don't give up in despair. Try | Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped ! more than a million women, in its 50 1 years of wonderful success, and should ' B surely help you, too. Your druggist has ! sp sold Cardui for years. He knows what! ^ it will do. Ask him.* He will recom- 5^ mend it.
