the following little fact in his Teach

both the pupils and teachers of the

kept in such good condition. Mr.
Fooshe says: "Accidents around
school buildings are not altogether
unknown. Especially is this true of
window panes. But Principal W. H.
Witberow, of Winnsboro, has it to
his credit of having had only two
such accidents at Mount Zion daring
his principalship of fourteen years.
Can any teacher in the State beat
this?"

TOM HILL, THM WIZABD.
A Kind of Jack 0' Lantern that Vanishes
. Upon Approaching Him.
Since the fire on the morning of the
28th of May the town and surrounding
community have been very much ex
cited in numerous expeditions for the
arrest of Tom Hill. Friday evening
it was reported that Tom was on the
eastern side of Winnsboro and had
broken into one for two houses of
colored people, and stolen provisions.
One old colored man stated that he
had taken a skillet from his house. A
party of searchers set out immediately,
and pursued a cold trail far into the
night. The most tangible evidence
found that Tom had really been in the
neighborhood was the finding of the
skillet. This expedition ended in a
failure.,
Saturday morning a colored man
named Emanuel Small came into town
and narrated that he knew Tom Hill
well having gone to school with him,
and that on that morning while he
was working in a field about four
miles north of (Winnsboro, Tom came
into the field and without any cere
mony began 1. fire upon him. Eman
uel came to Winnsboro with a gun
that from appearances might have
bee:i used in the American Revola
tion, but he immediately purchased a
new ..ie. He is a colored man of
good r-putation, and his manner in.
spire I confidence in his story which
was strengthened by his quick pur
chase of a new gun. Another expe
dition was organized forthwith, and
set out to the scene of Tom's supposed
appearance. Messages had been sent
to the State penitentiary for blood
Lounds, and the dogs came up on a
freight about 10 o'clock Saturday
morning. When the party of pur
suers got a short distance out of town
they were informed that Tom had
been seen still further north of the
place where the Smsll man hid seen
him, and that he bad eaten his break
fast at this point. The dogs, there
fore, jwere taken to this point. The
crumbs of bread were found, but the
dogs failed to strike a trail, whether
because the appearance of Tom was a
myth or because the trail was too cold
is not known. This expedition came
to naught.
Sunday night Job Crosby came to
town with a sensational story that he
run upon Tom Mill near White Oak
and fired at him three or four times.
A number of men rose from their
beds and again went out on a chase.
The dogs were taken to the place
where Bob said that he had seen him.
Again the dogs refused to follow a
trail. This expedition returned Men
day morning about 8 30, and like its
predecessors was a fruitless under
taking.
Many people are beginning to doubt
whether Tom Hill is a human being
or a myth. Be is often seen, but
vanlebes as vapor upon the approach
of an armed party of pursuers.
om Hill is an escaped convict. A

nor has been petitioned to off'er one

rest..
