Special to News and Courier.
Camden, Not. 21.?There was
a killing in West Wateree, about
twelve miles from Camden, Wednesday
night that will be gener
ally approved. Ned Kendrick, a
kjvw mill negro, went tp the home
of Mrs. Mary E. Elliott, a very
industrious white w?man, be
tween 0 and 10 o'clock, armed
with a pistol, a double-barrelled
shotgun and an axo. Mrs. El
liott antf her son, Alien, a boy
about 19 years of age, were alone.
^ Kendrirk shot his pistol in the
yard and called Allen ; told him
just to show his head out of the
house and he would shoot it oil".
Mrs. Elliott recognized the voice
and called to the negro and asked
why he was going on in the w?y
he was. lie cursed her and dared
her to show herself, threatening
to kill her it she came out.
The supposition is that the object
of the negro was to murder
the boy and commit an outrage

Bill Arp Tolls About its Origin
and the Needs <>i Country
Schools.
Atlanta Constitution.
I am very much perplexed to
know what to do for the country
boys and girls. Of course they
can get a little schooling under
the present system, hut t^at will
be only in text books of reading,
writing and arithmetic. What
they need is books of reference
that will answer their many questions.
Every mail brings me letters
wautiogto know things that
they cannot learn in their country
schools. Their teachers cannot
tell them nor their neighbors.
Of course not more than half
of them care about knowing anything
outside of their school
hooks, but the other half,do, and
on that half depend the culture
and progress of our country.
Why should those boys and girls
hare to ask me and Joel - Chandler
Harris and John Temple
Graves and others so many questions?
When they inclose a
stamp 1 answer all I can, but
these young people need books
that they can refer to. If Mr.
Carnegie would place iu every
country school a standard cyclopedia
such as Appleton's sixteen
volumes of universal knowledge
or Dodd, Meade Co's International
of sixteen volumes, the
young people would have a library
thut would answer all their
questions. Add to this Appleton's
Koven volumes'of American
biography and a country youth
cau get an education without
anything else. A young farmer
in Alabama asks mo what books.

Edward Beauper in a (iiant at
Twenty One.
' (From Jthe Chicago Chronicle)
' Kankakee, ill, November 18 ?
| Edward Beauper, who is visiting
( relatives in Kankakee and who
, is about to visit friends in Chicago,
> is said to bo 'ho l?r(ri)<lt man in
I the world, lie is 8 feet 3$
i inches tall, weighs 370 pounds,
. wears a No 10 hat, a No 22 shoe
I and a No 21 collar. His chest
measures is 56 inches. He is
' 21 years old and was born near
Winnipeg of French-Canadian
parents, whoso statures were
not above the average.
"Where did 1 get my height?'
asked Beauper, repeating the
j question of a friend to day. t4Je
t ne saib pas," and he shrugged
i his massive shoulders.
, "Am I strong in proportion to
. my size?" he went on ; "well,
. well you may decide." With
the remark he walked out of a
local restaurant into the street,
i threw one arm around the body
of a farmer's horse and lifted the
? animal off his feet.
When Reauper was 10 years
i old he was 6 feet 4 inhes tall.
"The fact enabled me to escape
i one thing few boys do escape,"
remarked the giant when comment
was made on his early
1 growth. "My father's clothes was
' never cut down to fit me. lie
was only 5 feet 8."
For a time Reauper was a cow|
boy in Montana. His size wne
( too great for the horses ho had to
. | ride, so he gave up the occupation.
-1 During his cowboy experiences a
t pony kicked him and broke hin
> jawbone, leaving a bad scar. Hut
1 for this he would be as handsome
I as he is strong. In hotels he has
! to sleep on the floor because the
*! beds are to short for him; in sleep.
, iiig cars he utilizes two upper
!be?ths. "I get along all right,"
| said he, except tor one thing?1
