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

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

. ^ 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. I never lost a chance to say a
good word for this remedy."

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. Begin taking Cardui today. /j
