Many Rural Schools Arc Helped by the Fund Which Was Borrowed l?) the State. J. B. Swoaringen, Stato superintendent of education, Monday paid mit t'M t* A r ~ i n/% i % uuv. fiii,uni oiaiu am ui l ? o Hlgli schools in 41 counties. Warrant* wore mailed to the several countj treasurers and notives addressed t< tlie county superintendents of education and each board of district trustees. Sixty-three rural graded schools in 17 counties received $13,900.94. All of those schools are located in rural districts, or in incorporated place* with less than 300 population. A district levying a four-mills tax, employing two teachers and running it* schools six monts receives $3 00 State aid. A district levying fourmill tax exploylng three teachers and running the school seven months receives $3 90. Fifty-eight such schools received aid last November, and hence were not entitled to additional assistance this spring. The rural graded school law has, therefore, benefited 131 communities during the current scholastic year. Any school entitled to share in its benefits may renew its application as soon as the requirements of the law aro mot after the opening of the session this fall, durine the next onhnliiatin vo?r 1 4. State aid was also granted to 5<> districts in 19 counties under the term extension act for weak schools. The amount paid these f?G schools was $4,834.62. In each instance the district sharing in high school aid, and term extension aid levies a local tax of two mills and receives from the State as much as this tax raises up to $100 term extension aid. A considerable number of claims are yet to he tiled from many counties. The library aid will he paid out within the next ten days. The rural graded school applications, term extension applications, and library requisitions wore paid out of the $:10,000 recently borrowed for school purposes. The balance of this loan will he exhausted within the next few weeks. MAY UK APPOINTED SOON. The Attorney General May Pick the District Attorney. The Washington correspondent of The State says Attorney General MoReynolds Friday took up for consideration the matter of appointing a successor to Ernest Cochran of South Carolina as district attorney for that State. The commission of tlie latter will expire February 1, 1914, and there is considerable interest shown hero in tho question as to whether Mr. McReynolds will at this time appoint Francis II. Weston, who has been recommended by Senator Smith or William J. Thurmond, who has the indorsement of Senator Tillman, or will allow Mr. Cochran to aorve out the remainder of liia term. The State'a correspondent heard Friday morning that Mr. 'McReynolda was ready to take lip the caao Friday. Thereupon the matter was followed up and it developed later on that thia was correct and that ho had naked some questions regarding the matter, which might indicate that action would be taken at an early date. Mr. McReynolda would make no statement concerning the appointment one way or the other, but there is no doubt that he gave it serious consideration. HURLED TO HIS DEATH. Mot llis Death in Trying to Save Life of His Friend. At Birmingham, Ala., R. B. Brooks, a telepliono lineman, met a heroic death in sight of hundreds of baseball trolley passengers Friday afternoon when a shock from a live wire hurled him forty feet to tho ground, whero his brains were dashed out on tho curbstone. Gilbert Aaron, his friend, was iirst shocked unconscious on top of tho pole, but his body clung to a cross arm. Brooks took a rope up to rescue him and had tied it around Aaron's body, passed it over a cross arm to tho crowd below, when ho himself touched the wire. Aaron us recovering ana is not seriously hurt. Shoots Woman and Himself. At Goldsboro, N. C., Cleveland Prince, a Wayne County farmer, Monday shot and killed Mrs. May Carter Lomax, wife of a railroad .baggagemaster, and then committed suicide. Mrs. Lomax was confined to her bed in a hospital as the result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident while riding with Prince and others. ? ? ? Prisoners to l?e Released. After twelve years' confinement in Mexican prisons, Iveslle B. Hulburt, a lawyer, his brother-in-law, William Mitchell, and their alleged accomplice in insurance frauds involving murder, Dr. Charles H. Harle, of Abilene, Tex., are to be released. V ' ; FREE WOOL HELPS ^ IN NEW YORK WORLD CONGRESSMAN HARRISON POINTS OUT BENEFITS Says it Means Cheaper and Better Clothes and Asks the Support of the People in the Assault Made | I'.pon Privilitfe in the llalls of Con-! gi e.ss. In the New York World Congressman Harrison says free wool means henpor and better woollen clothes. That is why we hope that the people will uphold President Wilson in his light for free wool and against the great wool and woollen combination. Erce wool would also mean the death knell of this great combination, which has for forty years burdened the American people with extortionate taxation. He then goes on to say: This combination between the wool-growers of the West and the woollen manufacturers of the East has for the great part of forty years had votes enough in Congress to keep the taxes sky high on woollen clothes. The combination was too strong for President Taft; he frankly told the people of tho United States that this combination was powerful enough to prevent the Republicans in the PayneAldrich tariff from lowering the duties on woollen clothing. Tills admission by President Taft was fatal to his party. His speech at Winona, in which he made this frank and startling announcement of the power of the combination, admitting that it was stronger than President Taft himself and the Republican Congress, and stronger than the Government of the United States, under ltepubll i rule, caused the people of our coi y to take away from these peop'o ..10 administration of our coir ' \ and give it to the Democrats. ? \\ the Democrats aro engaged in the f.ght against this same combination. Forty-five years ago the woolgrowers of the West and the woollen manufacturers of the East agreed that each was to have all the protection asked for through the tariff, and that the public might be damned. Tills alliance is still in force, and we call upon all good citizens to help President Wilson and the Democratic Congress in the fight for freo wool. Wo are going to succeed where the Republicans failed. The combination will not be strong enough to overthrow our determined assault upon this groat stronghold of privilege. Manufacturers of woollen clotli in our country can got only three-fifths of their wool in the United States; for the other two-fifths they aro obliged to send to foreign countries and bring it into the United States by paying a tariff which adds nearly half to the cost of the wool. This has kept many grades of wool out of the United States entirely. It has raised the price of such wool as they could import and has induced American manufacturers to use substitutes for wool, instead of wool itSf?lf Thftt to UfllW HHP mnnnf"-.!"-?" . ....V ..J II 11; u\ll 111(111 111 lll l II 1 t'l n so largely use shoddy and cotton substitutes for wool; that is why a man's suit wilts like a tired plant when lie goes out in tho rain; it is because his suit, although sold as an all-wool suit, contains a great deal of inferior material which will not stand rain or the wear and tear. Free wool will mean that the American manufacturer will he at liberty to mako as good woollen clothes as the manufacturer in other lands, and that when a man buys a suit of clothes hereafter as an American he will he certain to get a suit that lasts as long as the foreigner's suit and is made of just as good material. That is why the people should help us in our flglit for free wool. Foreign-Made Clothing Ijower. Our bill proposes a 3 5 per cent, rate upon woollon clothing. Tho Hepublican rate averaged 90 per cent.; in other words, the Republican tariff nearly doubled the cost of woollen clothing brought from abroad and made a corresponding though not quite so high a raiso in tho cost of woollen clothing hero. Our rate of 35 per cent, will pormlt an American, if he finds clothes too high-nriced in our country, to buy foreign-miule clothing bore under a tariff which would add only one-third to the cost, instead of doubling the cost, as the Republicans made it. Hut It moans even more than this. The Republican 90 per cent, rate particularly kept out all foreign clothing; in other words, it was a prohibitive tariff-. There was no use for the foreigner trying to compete in our market over such a harrier as that. Tlo could not pay the duty and compete with the American clothing manufacturer. Under our rate ho will have a chance to soil his foreignmado goods here, which will oblige the American manufacturer to improve the quality of his goods and lower the price. And this does not mean only the outser suit. Our bill makes tremen.1 ? * ~ i - -11 ? uuun cuia 111 till prodUClS Of woollen manufacture, such as underclothes, stocking*, sweaters, caps, hats, loves, overcoats, carpets and blanM THE DEMOCRATS WIN 1 FLF.tT CONGRESSMAN FROM MAHBAOHUBKTTS. I .John J. Mitchell, Democrat, Fleeted | to Succeed llorpuhlicun Who Won | Fleeted I'nlted Senator. A Boston dispatch says John J. Mitchell, Democrat, was elected to Congress from the 13th district i Tuesday three-cornered contest, in j which tariff discussion figured prom lenny. Mitchell's' plurality over Alfred II. Cutting, Republican, was 4,1 IS. The vote tor Norman 11. White, Progressive, foil 3,200 short of that for Cutting. Tuesday's special election was necessary on account of the election of former Congressman John W. Weeks to bo United States Senator. In the election last November Mr. i Mitchell, who was successful Tuesday, was defeated by Mr. Weeks by 2,35 1 votes The total vote Tuesday was; Mit- 1 chell, 12,991; Cutting, 8,843; White, 5,678. The vote last November ? stood, Weeks, Republican, 15,934; Mitchell, Democrat, 1 3,583; Kiel, Progressive, 5,85 3. i The tariff, and recently the Under- < wood bill, were practically the only \ topics debated in the campaign. All l three candidates, and their support- I era on the stump placed their views : on the different schedules before the * shoe workers of Marlboro, the watch- I makers of Walthoin, the texile oper- 1 atives in the small towns and the S home dwellers in the residential sec- i tions. i A Washinton dispatch says news of the election of another Democratic < congressman from Massachusetts was < received by President Wilson with j keen satisfaction.

I i SPEAKS TO IjAHOE CROWDS. < ?. 1 llryan Talks on the I lone fits of Reli- j gion and Training f Secretary of State Bryan address- j ed two largo audiences at Philadel- i phia Sunday on the benefits of reli- < gion and the necessity for training ( the young. At the 'Bethlehem Pres- t byterian church, which is celebrating i its 4 0th anniversary he cited his beliefs and incidents in his own life to 1 prove the value of religious training 1 in youth. 1 "As I look back over my own life," l ho said, "I can not find that I have t added anything to my moral princi- i pies since reaching manhood's estate t and in separating the credit I find little that I can boast of as my own." ( Mr. Bryan told his hearers how a < dislike for swearing, gambling and j drinking had been impressed upon ( him by his parents in his early days, j This dislike, he said, has continued ever since. "Gambling," Mr. Bryan declared, "is even more demoralizing than t drink and harder to defeat. The gold cure may take the taste for liquor out of a man, but only God can take the cure of gambling out of a man's heart." "American diplomacy is not of that kind where you have to make a man drink to deal with him," declared Secretary Bryan in discussing temperance." During my long career, including more than a quarter of a century in active politics there never has been one day when I thought it better to take a drink of alcoholic liquor even in moderate degree. In foreign lands 1 have adhered to the same principle, and I have yet to hear a sinirlf? ppltiflom r\ f -llL - v/? mj acnuiiH miner ai , homo or abroad." In bin address at the Second rogiment armory on "The Making of a Man." he urged the necessity of , building moral character upon reli- j gion and a loyalty to Christ and Ills teachings. kets, not to mention all the other I necessaries of life which are made, or should he made, out of wool. Take blankets, for example: The rates in the present law allowed no reasonable-priced woollen blankets to come in from abroad. A few importations which were attempted proved at the Custom House that the Republican duty on blankets was 180 per cent.; our bill makes the duty on J these blankets 2f> per cent.

Hereafter foreign blankets can come in and give the 1 American consumer a chance to pur- 1 chaso the same kind of blankets as , the people of other lands can buy. ? President Wilson has made, no ap- j pointments for South Carolina. There are several vacancies in post offices. 1 1 \ IRAGEDY REVEALtD ? BODY OF MAN IS FOUND NEAR WATEREE RIVER. DIED FROM BEING SHO; ? Henj. John is in Camden Jail Churg* ed With Murdering Abraham .Michael, Both of Whom Posed as Ministers From Turkey Ituising Money for Christian Churches Abroad. A dispatch from Camden savs Ah rah a ill Michael wan shot to death near the Wateree Uiver Monday about noon, and it is alleged that the shooting was done by Henj. John, both representing themselves as ministers from Turkey, touring America to collect funds for Christian churches in the old country. The killing has been the chief topic of conversation 011 the streets. ltoth (Michael and John appeared before Mayor Hrasington Monday and asked permission to solicit church funds. Mayor Hrasington told them to present their credentials to a Camden minister and if favorably passed upon, he would consider the request. They left Camlen later by fo'^L following tho Seaboard track in tho direction of Columbla. They passed Section Master hinders and a force of hands 011 the road. Later John returned from tcross the river alone. Upon being questioned by Mr. Sanlers as to the whereabouts of his ompanion, he said that he left him it the crossing near Lugoff. Later 11 the day Mr. Sanders started towards Lugoff on his hand car, inspecting the track. When crossing a culvert, near Mr. Kennedy's plantaion, he noticed the water hacked 1111 n the culvert's entrance and a pair if feet projecting from same. Upon investigation, tlie bullet-rid[lled body of Michael was found. Hie coroner and sheriff were notified. Several persons reported that they ?aw a foreign looking man hurrying owards Sheppard. Sheriff Iluchaieo had Constable (McDowell to ar est John at Bethune. He was placed in jail at midnight and protested lis innocence. Flora Kershaw, who lives on the Kennedy plantation, says she saw two men fighting on the track j ind saw one shoot the other to death { md then place his body in the cul- \ fort, placing the dead man's coat ( iver his head. John changed his | dothes near Sheppards, and it is said hey were found in the woods nearby md were saturated with blood. ? When arrested $.185 was found on _ lis person, together with five pocket knives, seven pocketbooks and a ady's hand bag. Robbery is thought \ jy some to have been the motive of die alleged murder, although both uen seemed to have collected other hings besides church funds. ^ G. G. Alexander Jr., has boen re- ? ained by John to defend him. Several Assyrians interviewed John in jail and said that they wore of the ipinion that the men were impostors md were either Greeks or Turks.
