Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. Governor Heyward has offered a reward for the arrest of Charles and Arthur Holloway, wanted for the mur der of Spencer Barnes, which took place about a month ago at a negro •church three miles west of Edgefield. A few nights ago lightning struck and destroyed the Peace Haven Sun day school building, recently erected in the Collier section of Edgefield county. The organ and a few of the seats were saved. The loss is esti mated at $G00. Another building is noon to take the place of the one de stroyed. Harry Wright, the 10-year-old son of Simon P. Wright, was shot and in stantly killed about 5 o’clock Friday afternoon by Edgar McCoy, colored, at the residence of Thos I. Rogers, Esq., at Bennettsville. The inquest verdict was that Harry Wright came to his death at the hands of Edgar McCoy, and it is the belief of the jury that the shooting was acci dent aL For the first time in the adminis tration of Sheriff Martin, of Charles ton, covering a period of almost seven years, there is not a white prisoner confined in the county jail. There are a number of white prison ers awaiting trial at the approaching term of the court of general sessions, f- but they are all out on bond and only negroes are actually confined. This record speaks well for the criminal element of Charleston. State Constables Drake and How ard made a lively scout of it at Cow- pens Friday in quest of overstrength ened beverages and liquor. At one store they seized a barrel of that bracing beverage known as “Gee Whiz.” Taking it to the rear of the building the officers knocked the head of it out and the cider was poured out on the ground. At another place I'Vft and a half cases of “Porto.” winch the constables state is a nice grade of rye liquor, was taken. At another i lace a quantity rtf beerine and “Gee Whiz” was confiscated. The entire seizures were shipped to the authorities at Columbia. The Spartanburg authorities ar rested a white man Saturday, Will Dinsmore, charged with stealing goods at the Spartanburg Junction from the cars. Dinsmore has been employed by the Southern and had a key to the cars. In Magistrate Kir by’s court he pleaded guilty to steal ing some articles and was given a sentence of 20 days on the ehaiugang. Other cases are pending against him when this sentence is served. The police have recently arrested several persons charged with stealing from the cars at the Junction, and it is thought that this systematic robbery, which for a time past baffled the officers, is at an end. J. Vand Smith, aged about fia years, committed suicide at his home, 22G College street, Spartan burg, Friday morning at 11:30 o’clock by placing the muzzle of a 32- callbre Remington rifle to his left breast and pulling the trigger. The bullet went through his heart and passing through the body lodged in the wall near by. The deceased had heen in wretched health for six months past and in a fit of mental and physical despondency decided to end his life. Mr. Smith was a native of the Glenn Springs section and leaves a wife and a number of child ren to lament his untimely death. He had worked In the cotton mills for a number of years in the past. Two passengers and tw’o trainmen killed, one passenger who may die, many injured and property w'orih thousands of dollars destroyed is the result of a wreck on the Seaboard Air Line, near Catawba Junction Fri day morning, caused probably by train wreckers who are thought to have disjointed the rails, throwing passenger train No. 41 from a tres tle 20 feet high to be crushed later hy a freight engine and cabin car following and falling upon it. Few were injured severely by the first fall and many' were endeavoring to climb out of the wreck when the en gine and car fell upon and crushed them. Gist Gilliam, a colored man who works on the farm of Mr. H. L. Parr, about two miles from Jalapa, New berry county, is turning white. That is to say, large areas of the skin are changing from a decided black to a whitish shade much resembling the ordinary color of the Caucasian cuti cle. Gilliam is a well formed negro about 30 years old, and who seems to be in a healthy condition. He says that the spots were first apparent some five or six years ago and that ♦ hey have increased in size ever dTnce, until now they cover a large portion of his face, hands, arms and chest. The spots are still increasing. Gilliam has no desire to become a white man and has consulted physi cians several times concerning the remarkable change. The change in color is duo to an extremely rare af fection of the skin known by medical scienc as vitllago. PROF. EDWARD SCHERUBEL. New Something About Limestone’s Music Director. Mr. Edward Scherubel is an Ameri can by birth, and inherits his musical talent from his mother. His great grandfather was for many years mu sic cantor of a large district in Aus tria, including the famous resort, Carlsbad. When very young Mr. Scherubel showed a remarkable tal ent for music, and when only 14, played such difficult compositions in public in his own home, as Liszt’s Rhapsodies and Chopin’s Etudes. At the age of 20 he went Europe, taking up studies at the Royal Conservatory at Leipsic, on piano with Reinicke, and in harmony and counterpoint with Jadassohn. Returning he contin ued his studies with American art ists, such as the celebrated pianist and composer, \v. C. E. Seeboeck, of Chicago, and Mr. Robertshaw, of Northwestern University, Evanston, 111. He remained with Mr. Seeboeck about eight years, both as artist and student, and assistant in the studio. Besides this, Mr. Scherubel has had fine educational advantages, having spent several years in our universi ties, specializing in acoustics, litera ture, mental science and philosophy. A few years ago he underwent a very successful operation of having the accessory tendons of his fourth fingers severed. What Seebock Says of Him. It gives me the greatest pleasure to state that Mr. Edward Scherubel has attained a most prominent posi tion in the musical world, through his conscientious and extensive studies in the technique and artistic require ments of the art. He has had courses at the Royal Conservatory in Leipsic, Germany, has studied many years with me, finished the technical courses of the Virgil Clavier, and combines a splendid execution, with the most thorough knowledge of har mony, theory, musical analysis, etc. His playing combines the intellect ual and emotional in a splendid de gree, the results of hardest applica tion, worked out upon a sensitive and artistic nature. His strength and suppleness give him the ability to draw from the instrument its great est power and the utmost delicacy. His lectures and recitals have a high educational value. Ho is an unusu ally well educated Christian gentle man of about 30 years or age, a fine disciplinarian, has tact and patience, and is of a very energetic and push ing character. An institution which would enlist his services would not reason for congratulation, for 1 have no hesitency in saying that he is one of the best of the younger generation of artists in this country. What Prof. Robertshaw Says of Him. Mr. Edward Scherubel has devoted much time and study in my classes at Northwestern University, in ob taining a mastery of the famous Ton ic Solfa method of teaching music and choral singing, as taught with such success in the public schools of England and Germany. I heartily recommend him as an enthusiastic and successful teacher of this work, which is an outgrowth of the science of mind, and which corresponds in music teaching to the kindergarten system as discovered by Froebel and others.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest Etta Jane, Sept. 10.—From the way in which the reply cards sent out by the committee of entertainment ar« being returned, we are led to believe that the meeting of Enoree Presby tery at Salem on Tuesday, October 4th will be largely attended. Homes have already heen procured for sixty ministers and delegates, and the com mittee feels that it will he fully ah e to handle the crowd, even if it should exceed that number of guests.
