^ Wednesday at the Triennial Episcopal
Convention. A new misssionary b.shop
was elected and in the house of deputies
there was an animal debate in
the proposition to change the name of
the Church. This qucsiion did n it
come up as a direct issue but on a motion
to concur with the house of bishops
in creating a joint commission. It
was decided the subject should be referred.
There was much division in regard
to the matter. A proposal to refuse
to consider the question in any
form was strongly supported but this,
it was argued, would fail to show proner
respect to the house of bishops. Finally,
the reference of the subject to a
joint committee was agreed upon. No
further action will be taken until th^
meeting of the General Convention in
t<*04.
Tbe house of deputies unanimously
elected Dr. Cameron Mann, of Kansas
City, to be missionary bishop of North
Dakota. The Huntington amendment
to article 10 of the constitution which
was adopted by the house of deputies
-was non-concurred in by the bishops.
The rooms of the woman's auxiliary
were closed in the evening in respect
10 the memory of the honorary secretary,
Mrs. Mary A. E. Twing, of New
York, whose fuueral was held front rit.
Luke's church.
There was a reception at the Japanese
mission. Bishop Rowe, of Alaska,
addressed a missionary meeting at the
Samaritan.

ons regarding ministerial relations
were adopted by the house of bishops
and sent to the deputies for action
'llie bishops concurred with the deputies
in adding to article 1 of the constitution
section C. which provides for
the appointment of two delegates, one
clerical and one lay. to the house of
deputies fnom each missionary district.
A committee of conference was asked
for regarding the appointment of a
bishop.
A modified form of the Huntington
amendment to article 10 of the constitution.
which permits special forms of
worship, as adopted by the house of
deputies, was defeated. It is understood
that the tote was a tie. although the
exact rote will not be given out officially.
The house of deputies elected i:.?
r* members of the board of managers.
^ of the General Missionary Society.
The only notable change in the p^rsinnel
of the board was the election of
Rev. Dr. Disk. of Rhode Island, in
place of Rev. G. M. Christian, of New
York. The canon on deaconesses was
adopted. The canon makes 30 years the
least age at which a woman may be received
as a deaconess and this has already
been adopted by the house oi
bishops. A resolution was made to concur
with house of bishops in creating
a joint committee of 15 to take inn
consideration the entire subject of a*
-change of names. The motion was
adopted by the following vote: Clerical.
Aye 39. nay 13. divided. 6; iny.
aye 3#. nay 17. divided 4. This question,
although all thosn strongly favoring
the change voted aye. A resolutior offered
by Dr. King wait was adopted as
follows:
"Resolved, the house of bishops concurring,
that it is the sense of this
'Convention that good citizenship is
the fundamental principle of religion,
that the Church mindful of the growing
tendency to unchecked corruption
in the conduct of our municipal affairs
throughout the United States, the indifference
to and covert oontsnanc'ng
of immorality, gaming and vice, places
Tierself on record as expecting her sons
to take an active part at the ballot box
and elsewhere as.occasion permits, toward
the suppression of these pernicious
eneuties to virtue and good guv ernmcnt."

Roosevelt's Canal Treaty.
Washington. Special.?Senator Morgan.
of Alabama, who was one of
President Roosevelt's callers, talked
with the President about the pros
poets of the Nicaraugan Canal at the
coming session of Congress. The
Piesident told Senator Morgan that
he "would submit to the Senate a new
treaty on the subject which more
nearly met his views than the first
Hay>?auneefote treaty, but he did not
go into particulars. Speaking of the
President's policy in regard to Southern
appointments. Senator Morgan
said: "It-is the policy of reconciliation,
and policy of appointing the best
men to office."
AGAINST INCIDENTAL CHARGE, j
A kuiing That Will Affect flany of
the Schools.
Assistant Attorney Ooneral (lent r
has handed the State s'operin tendon: of j
education an opinion of far-reaching:
importance. Under this opinion the law
of the State forbids school districts :o
charge pupils incidental fees go ng to
make up the tuition fees which they
cannot legally charge. It will effect
many a public school in the State
whose resources have thus been most
materially added to from time to time.
T-v:_ : V.OO ?,r> lioirln;* lin.-n
1 Ills UjJIIlU/ll UtiO uu
the decision of the supreme court r n- |
dered some time ago. in the Itocli Hill
case, which allowed the charging of
such fees in schools. In that case iho
schools were chartered, and the charter
gave the right, to charg> supplemental
and incidental fees.
Mr. Gunter's opinion reads as follows:
Dear Sir: Your request to be advised
upon the following question:
Can a board of trustees of a free
school charge an incidental fee or impose
any other kind of cost as a prerequisite
to entrance of scholars to the
public schools?"
I am of the opinion that th? boards
ran impose no such charges. The board
of trustees being of statutory construction
can have no authority except
sudi as granted by statute. Boards of
trustees are created under a general
school law. This law provides for the
complete free school scheme of the i
State, and is entitled "an act to declare |
the free school law of the state, ni>proved
March 3. 1S9G. The title as we l
as the body of the act denotes the intention
of the general assembly to give
the people a free school. Not only fne
in name but free in fact.
After a careful persuasal of every
section of the act I have been unable
to find any authority, either direct or
by implication, to impose the fee referred
to. It is true that the. board
of trustees are charged with the management
of the free schools of the'r
respective districts, and are given authority
to act "so as best to promote
the educational interests of their district."
But this does not apply to the
financial resources of a district. That
feature is left to the tax collecting and
tax disbursing machinery. The trustees
are given authority to distribute
and expend the school funds of a district
for the best interest of the dis
trict. There can. therefore, be no excuse
to attempt to raise funds for any
incidental purpose by an incidental fee
for the whole sum raised by taxation
is available for any educational purpose.
If a board of trustees can impose a
small fee they could likewise impose
a large fee. thereby making attendance
impossible, and thus thwarting the object
of a free school law. This onrlu-;
slon has, of course, no reference to
schools operating under special charters
or special legislation, wherein an-"
thoritv is given to charge fees or tuition.
the supreme court, having recently
sustained such a power The
cases passed upon by the supreme
court have no bearing upon schools
operated under the general free school
law of the State.
Instructing Teaches.
Supt. McMahan in his efforts to assist
the county superintendents with
the work cf instructing the teachers
and in co-ordinating the work in t ie
schools in accordance with the recently
issued course of study has decided
to s?nd out Mr. MrOIiee to van una
points in the Stata to meet with the
teachers on Saturdays and give tliom
instruction on the use of the course of
study. Mr. MoGhee starts out n?xt
Saturday, having ap. appointment to
meet the teachers of Greenwood county
board of education. He will carry
a number of devices with him to illustrate
methods of teaching geography,
as this will be the particular subject
to be handled at Greenwood. This
plan of Supt. McMahan is in accordance
with circulars sent out by liirn
to all the county superintendents of
education a week or two ago. Some
of the county superintendents have
already held meetings at the county
seats and at other places in the county.
Since the work on the annual ret> >rt
of the superintendent of education is
nearly completed Mr. McGhee will be
able to make an appointmnet every
Saturday between now and January.
Wagon Factory Burned.
Union. Special.?At 10:30 Tuesday
night Green and Boyd's carriage and
wagon works were totally destroyed
by fire. The firm handled all kinds of
vehicles, harvesting machines, and
did a general repair business. Almost
oil Hio vehicles were saved, but some
of the harvesting machinery and
most of the repair work were burned.
The loss is between $1,500 and $L'.(?0.
Insurance $4,000.
More Inspections.
Adjutant General Floyd went to
Darlington for the purpose of inspecting
the militia coniptny at that point.
J Front Darlington he expected.to go to
| other points in the Pee Dee section
j and inspegt most of the companies in
that "Vection of the State before returning
to Columbia. He will hardlyreturn
to the city before Saturday, in
the meantime Col. Frost will go over
to Edgefield and neighboring points
to inspect the troops in that section.
The genera! hopes to complete the
inspection at the ~ possible
date, and on his tour ne will endeavor
to see what can be done toward making
the military day feature of the
Charleston exposition a success.

A Cnmnnnv of the Ninth Infantry is
Fired Upon By 500 Uolomen and 12
Killed.
Manila. By Cable.?Five hr.r.dreff b domen
attacked a detachment of (14
men of the Ninth Infantry at Bangajon,
011 the Gandara river, island of Samar,
Wednesday. kMling ten and
wounding six. The remainder of the
company arrived 011 the scene and
routed the enemy, killing over 100 of
them.
It is believed that the enemy only
retired for re-enforcements. As soon
as the news was received at Cathbalogan.
two gun-boats were dispatched,
General Smith going in person to the
scene.
Washington. Special.?The following
brief cablegram from General Chaffee,
reporting the light of the Ninth Infantry
at Samar, Wednesday, was received
at the War Department:
'Manila. Oct. 18.
"Corbin. Adjutant General. Washington:
Forty-six men of Company E. Ninth
United States Infantry; under First
Lieutenant George W. Wallace, in the
field in lower Candara. Samar. were attacked
by 400 bolomen October 10. Our
loss was ten killed and six wounded,
names net received. Eighty-one of the
enemy left dead on the field. Enemy
beaten off.
"CHAFFEE."
The War Department officials were
somewhat dismayed at the press report
of the new set-back on the island of
Samar. They had no confirmation from
official sources of the report, but this
was true of the last affair of the kind |
which happened at Balangiga. The
Ninth Infantry, which suffered there,
was the same organization that engaged
in the latest fighting at Bangajon,
though in this case the company
attacked is not known.
An inspection of the disposition made
' 1 - ?
of the troops on tne lsiana ui oauiai |
shows that before the- Balangiga fight,
there were no less than S8 separate
posts. These were so disposed.that supplies
could be conveyed to the troops
by water. General Huges has left Samar
and gone to the Island of Cebu to
recuperate, which accounts for the assumption
of the command on Samar by
General Smith. General Hughes was
worn out and suffered from the effects
of a severe fall received while chasing
insurrectos in the mountains of Samar.
New Canal Treaty.
Washington. Special.?Ixird Pauncefote
will sail for the United Stetes on
the 26th inst., before the Brisih cabinet
council has had an oppportunity to I
review the protocol, which embody .n '
principle the proposed new Hay-Pauncefote
Canal treaty. It is thought here,
however, that that fact will not delay
sensibly the final negotiations, which
will take place here between Secretary
Hay and Ivord Pauncetote. for it is the
*' -* l1? lilro Hint
intention tnai ine new u i;,
which it will deplaoe, on the docket of
the Senate, shall be finally drafted and
signed in the city of Washington. It is
said that when the new* document is
framed the "fortifications" clause will
be found to have heen dropped out.
leaving the United States at liberty to
fortify the canal, but it is distinctly
stated that it is not obliged to do so
and in fact there is no present intention
of erecting fortifications, which, it
is stated, would be much more expensive
than a fleet of battelshjps and Ies.useful.
Premier Replies.
Paris. By Cable.?The Premier. M.
Waldeck Rousseau. has replied to the
secretary of the Miners' Federation?
regarding the government's intcntionc
towards the demands of the miners.
His reply cannot be considered vrny
satisfactory to the men whose federation
commutes will meet Sunday and
resolve whether to strike or not.

Straw Shoes For Horses.
The praiseworthy fashion of providing
the horses with straw hats as a
