FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS
Some Radical Changes Made from
^ the List of Publications Now Used
by the Children in Five Thousand
South Carolina Public Schools, as
Will He Seen.
The verdict in the adoption of the
school books of the State was rendered
at Columbia Thursday evening.
* There was a radical change in the
list. (Superintendent Swearingen protested
against what he terms too
sweeping and unnecessary changes,
but he was in a minority. The books
adopted are these used in five thousand
free schools in the State, but
do not necessarily apply to the graded
school districts that have their
own adoptions.
For. the past five years the State
depository, R L>. Bryan Company,
managers, handled $508,243 worth
of school books on the list in use
during the five year. The present
list will result in many sales.
Thursday afternoon Superintend
^ dent Swearingen had the verdict read
to the assembled agents of the pul>
lishers. The contracts as awarded
and as read follows:

FELL EIGHTY FEET
WORKMAN MKT DEATH WITHIN
A TALL CHIMNEY.
He Lost His Footing and Dropped to
the Ground and Is Mashed and
Broken to Pieces.
Mashed to a pulp by a eighty foot
I fall was the sad fate of Henry Huen.
nefeld, a chimney worker, employed
.*> a Hobo'ton contracting company,
i which is building the huge chimney
' on Concord street in Charleston for
thfc Consolidated Company's gas
works. The News and Courier says
the accident was a horrible one.
It seems that Huennefeld and another
man were at work in the chimney
which is now in the course oi
of construction. They were standing
'on a platform know as a "V", this
platform being suspended inside the
chimney. The men walked around
this as they placed their bricks, and
as the height of the chimney increased
the "V" was pushed upwards.
Inside of the chimney are iron
"steps," as they are known, on which
the men suport themselves. According
to testimony produced at the
coroner's inquest, it seems that Huen1
nefeld miscalculated the distance to
one of these steps, and fell like a |
plummet eighty feet to the ground i
inside the chimney. He sustained
fearful injuries, practically every |
bone in his body being broken and i
his brains dashed all over the ground.
He was reached a few seconds after
the fall, hut was then deaa.
The man is a German, whi is said
to have no friends, nor relatives in
jthis country. lie was employed by
j the Hoboken company which is doing
' the work, and has been in Charleston
since the construction started some
time ago. The nody is now at the
j undertakers, and those in charge of
1 the company's work have wired to
Hoboken for Instruction as to how to
dispose of the body. Huennefeld was
| about 4 0 years of age and was unj
married.
| The chimney in which Huennefeld
met his death is a gigantic thing of
its kind towering 200 feet above the)
ground. Huennefeld, when he lost
his footing, was about 80 feet from
the bottom, and so great was the
velocity which the body of the unfortunate
man attained in its drop
that it crashed clear through a twoinch
plank within the chimney.

A COLUMBIA MYSTERY.
Rody of a Negro Man Found in an
Unused Well.
The State says Columbia has
another murder mystery which will
probably never be solved. Well cleaners
descending in an old well in the
rear of a house at 1814 Hardin street
Waverly, Wednesday found the body
of Edward Patterson, a negro about
4 0 years of age, who was employed
by the Palmetto Ice Company as a
driver until December 10 of last year
when he disappeared.
It was generally supposed that he
had gone to Birmingham and no investigation
was made at the time as
to the cause of his disappearance.
The well is located just back of the
house. The house has not been occupied
since last August. Coroner
Walker made a searching investigation
as to the cause of the death ana
found that Patterson had been murdered.
Ills head was crushed by a
heavy blow. The shirtwaist of a woman
covered his head. The body 1
was decomposed almost beyond recognition.
An examination by a physicia^i
determined the fact that the man was
a negro. Coroner Walker found that
the negro had about $15 0 on his
person the night tnat ne was Kineu.
He had been robbed. Many theories
have been advanced as fco the 1110- i
tive. No announcement has been i
made by Coroner Walker as to when i
the inquest will be held. He is I
working on several theories and will '
very probably learn something of a i
tangible nature. 1

OUK WASHINGTON LETTER.
Congress has done practically nothing
the past week and if the present
methods are maintained, the extra
session will run into the regular
in December. The House has passed
and put up to the Senate enough
business to keep the latter body busy
all summer. The President has sent
his family away for the season and
is doing all he can to follow them,
but he cannot leave while his reciprocity
bill is in such a critical condition.
The Senate is not disposed
to pass the bill as it came from the
House, and if amended will require
further consideration by the House.
The House tariff bill will have to
wait, and as the President is not
pushing action on it, in fact looks
upon it with disfavor, it wi'l go over
until the regular session.
The results of the workings of
the Postal savings banks have been
so satisfactory, that about fifty new
offices will be designated in July. The
larger cities will be included in the
list, as manv have aDDlied to the
authorities for this purpose. An experimental
office will be established
and if successful the system will be
extended to all the large cities of
the country.
The present Chief Executive's family,
like its predecessors, is divided
in religious beliefs, which facts couses
them to attend different churches.
Mr. Taft is a Unitarian, while his wife
! and Helen are Episcopalians, and
! they each attend their own services
I with regularity. Mrs. Taft and her
daughter attend St: Johns, the most
ultra fashionable and exclusive
i church in the city. It is a very small
church building, located just across
La Fayette park from the White
House, with accommodations of only
a few hundred. The membership is
limited to a select few with social
distinction, and unless the applicant
measures up to the requirements the
roster is full and the seating capacity
exhausted and they are advised to
connect with some other church. Mrs.
Roosevelt attended this church, while
iMr. Roosevelt attended the Dutch Reform.
One of the unique features of government
is annually displayed in the
memorial decoration services held in
Arlington cemetery, the great national
burying ground for the Union dead.
On the 3 0th of May the graves of
those who wore the blue are decorated
with elaborate ceremony, and two
weeks later the graves of 246 Confederate
Soldiers buried there, are
similarly decorated. These Confederates
wore the gray, but many of
them subsequently wore the blue and
did valuable service in the Spanish
War. The services In many features
are similar, the G. A. R. conducting
one and the Confederate veterans
the other.
The old custom of opening the
daily sessions of the Senate and
House with prayer, is maintained.

pit in the Unitarian church where the

AVANT CAUGHT IN TEXArt.
He Was Going Under An Assumed
Name When Found.
A special dispatch from Cameron,
Texas, to The News and Courier says
W. 13. Avant, alias William Benjamin,
was arrested th^re Tuesday by
Sheriff Hooks, Avant is wanted in
Georgetown ,S. C., where he was
tried for murder and convicted of
manslaughter. Following his con
viction, the case was appealed and
the sentence was afflritned. Upon
hearing of the affirming of his case, .
Avant, accompaned by his wife, fled ,
to that State about a year ago. When ,
arrested he was engaged in selling ?
sewing machines and was located at j
i Iia.i n<r Ii/mica TTi>r*n n rroet
by the sheriff he admitted that he (
was Avant, and said that he would (
bjo back to South Carolina without j
requisition papers. He Is about 3 5
rears of age and is of good appearance.

A TINY MlBGtT FOUND
MAY BE THE SMALLEST PERSON
IN THE WORLD.
Colored Girl, Two and a Half Years
Old, Weighs Only Eight Pounds
Is Only 10 Inches in Heigrt.
About nineteen inches in height,
two and a half years old, weighing
exactly eight paunds, and particularly
strong and bright fofr a
child of her age, Frankie May Fordham,
a little negress, living with her
parents at No. 7 Heyward's Court,
is believed to be about the smallest
person in the world, with perhaps
one or two exceptions, says the Charleston
News and Courier. The News
and Courier goes on to say:
The child is a veritable marvel.
She was born in February 1009 .being
the fourth child of Henry and
Kate Fordh^m, the husband being a
navy yard employee. The first three
children, who were born away from
Charleston as the family has been
here only about a year, are hearty
and full sized; but it is the baby that
is the wonder of the family. The
child is not a deformity, but is probably
one of t hemost perfectly formed
negro children in the city.
Nothing was known generally of
the midget's existence until Wednesday
as efforts were made by the parents
to keep the fact of her diminutive
size secret, as they feared kidnapping;
but a reporter, having re-1
ceived a mysterious "tip" in the form
of an unsigned pencil-written letter,
visited the house Wednesday night
and marvelled at many things he saw.
Tie was met by the husband at the
front door of the house, wrich is a
neat two-story affair, and was ushered
into the bed room, where the
I

juuiiivi 11<tu nit; iiitiu giri 111 ner ingnt
gown, just ready to put her to bed.
As the reporter entered the room,
the child, catching sight of the fatlu
ex, exclaimed in a sweet and childish
voice, with perfect enunciation:
"Hello, Papa."
The reporter glanced to see who it
was talking and really had trouble 1
in locating the owner of the voice,
in locating the owner if the voice,
finally espying the tiny tot on the
floor. She was playing around in
high glee at the prospect of staying
up a few minutes later than her reg- '
ular bed-time, and danced and sung '
at a great rate; showing unusual pre- j
cocity for a child of her age. Her J
eyes which are dark brown, are exceptionally
clear and piercing, and .
her hair is silky and rather long, ab- j
solutely unlike a negro's. Yet she is
very dark, and had many of the racial
craracteristics.
The child weighed five pounds at '
birth, and gained three pounds dur- |
ing tne nrst six inontns -or her life. |
Since that time she has not taken on
an ounce, and several well known
doctors who have examined her, according
to the parents, have stated
that she will never Jgain [another
inch in height or another three
pounds in weight. Her parents have
reconciled themselves to this, and
lavish their affection on the little
girl, who is ctrtain to make a friend
of everyone she meets. She dances
prettily, looks intelligent and talks
fluently, being able to string words
together into short sentences already.
The parents state that they have
already received many offers from
vaudeville and side show managers,
some having already offered as high
as fifty dollars a week and transportation
for the mother under a five
year contract. All these offers the
parents have turned down, hoping
for the! ultimate! development of
their little one to her full 3taturo,
although they have now become almost
certain that their hone is vain
rhe father and mother now soem to
think that they will keep and educate
the child until it reaches the age
:>f seven or eight years at least, be- 1
fore thinking of any vaudeville de- 1
jarture. 1

MEXICAN HOY LYNCHED.
Whittling a Stick Caused the Death
of Several People.
The whittling of a stick led to the
killing of Charles Zeitung a garage
owner, and the subsequent lynching
of a Mexican youth at Thorndale,
Texas, Tuesday night. Whether the
boy was ft citizen of the United States
or of Mexico is not known.
The Mexican, a lad of about 18,
whose name has not been ascertained,
was sitting on the
sidewalk, in front of Zeitung's garage
early Monday night, industriously
wheilding a pocket knife and making
a pile of shavings. Zeitung protested
against the littering up of the
entrance to his place of business and
ordered the youth to stop. This, according
to bystanders, angered the
Mexican and he stabbed Zeitung
in the heart.
The youth was arrested and lodged
in jail. Soon after nightfall a
mob of about 100 men surrounded
the jail and secured the Mexican
with little difficulty. Some of the
lynching party went for ropes, but
others in the crowd were impatient
and held up a truck farmer who was
drivng a load of watermelons to market.
The team was unhitched and
the four trace chains fastened together.
One end of the chain was
fastened about the neck of the youth
and another boy climbed a telephone
pole, throwing the free end over a
limb. The Mexican was hoisted about
six feet from the ground and was
quickly strangled to death.

ORDERED TO DISSOLVE
The I>upont Company Charged With
Violating Sherman Law by Comblnii
g to Restrain Trade and Monopolizing
Powder and Explosive
Business and Ordered to Quit.
The United States circuit court for
the district of Delaware Wednesday
handed down a decision declaring
that the alleged powder trust, which
ie dominated by the E. I. Dupont do
Nemours company, is a combination
in restraint of interstate commerce
in powder and other explosives in
violation of Section 1 of the Sherman
anti-trust law; that it attempted to
monopolize and monopolized a part
of such commerce in violation of section
2 of the same law, and decreeing
that the combination shall be
pn inln^H from rnntljinln!* Ehio vjiI-i^
tion and that it shall be dissolved.
The action against the powder
trust wae begun by the government
in 1907 and was directed against 43
corporate and individual defendants.
The suit lis to 15 of the defendants
was dismissed because some of the
concerns are out of existence or it
was not srown that they were parties
to the combination.
The court in an interlocutory decree
fixed October 16th as the date
to hear both sides in the action as
to the nature of the injunction to be
granted and consider a "plan for
dissolving said combination, which
shall be submitted by the petitioner
and the defendant or any of them,
to the end that this court may ascertain
and determine upon a plan
or method for such discussion, which
will not deprive the defendants of
the onnortunitv to recreate out of
the elements now composing said
combination a new condition which
shall be honestly in harmony with
and not repugnant to the law."
This follows to some extent the degrees
issued by the United States supreme
court in tho (Standard Oil and
the tobacco cases.
There are 13 corporate and 15 individual
defendants declared to bo
in the illegal combination. A majority
of the individual defendants are
members of the Dupont family, all
of whom except Edmond O. Duckner,
are each director of one of the Dupont
companies.
The corporate defendants are: Tho
Hazard Powder company, Laflin &
Itand Powder company, Eastern Dynamite
company, Fairmont Powder
Company, International Smokeless
Powder and Chemical company, Judson
Dynamite and Powder company;
Delaware Securieites company, Delaware
Investment company, California
Investment company, E. I. Dupont
de Nemours & Co. of Pennsylvania,
Dupont Indernational Powder Company,
E. I. Dupont de Nemours Powder
company, E. I. Dupont de Nemours
& Co.
The only member of the Dupont
family mentioned in the suit who is
not included among1 the found to boviolating
the law is Henry Dupont,
one of the United States senators
from Delaware.
The decision written by Judge WIliam
>M. Danny and concurred in oy
Judge George Gray and Joseph Buffing,
goes into the history of interstate
commerce in gunpowder and
other explosives back as far as 1872,
when the government charged the
first trade agreement of manufacturers
was entered into. The court reviewed
the evidence in the case and
found when the suit has begun that
the Duponts had acquire dcontrol of
1 002 controlled in the United States
the trade in several varieties of powrler.
The court also found that the Dupont
company of 1002 and the I0ast~
ern Dynamite company controlled by
he Duponts had acquired eontro lof
jixty-four different corporations be;ween
April, 1 004, and September,
1007, and caused them to be dissolved.
The court summarized the numerous
companies controlled by the
md the Dupont company organzed
in 1008, and then discusses
vhether the combination it found to
ixist was obnoxious to the provisions
>f the Sherman anti-trust act.
The court finds that tho case in
land is obnoxious to the anti-trust
aw and then takes up the nature of
he final decree it shall issue. On
his the court Is guided largely by
he action taken by the supreme court
n the Standard Oil and Tobacco
ases.
"To stop the business of the com ination
immediately," the court sayo
'might be attended with very diastrous
consequences.'
