The results of Tuesday's municipal

nominated for Aldermen are men of j
strong convictions, progressive, con-:

the old town lapsing into a state of
lethargy or retrograding under the I
change. The majority of them have
been citizens of the town for years,
they have watched its progress and |
know what it requires to keep her
on the road to greater achievements.
With a loyal cooperation on the part
of citizens we feel sure Kingstree
will continue to go forward.

CLAIM CONFESSION
IN YOM LYNCHING
AUTHORITIES SAY THAT ACCUSED
YOUNG MAN WILL TESTIFY
FOR THE STATE.
York,September 5:?Another surprise
was registered in the now celebrated
Sims lynching case today
when Dick Norman, a well-known
?? ? ?- 1- ? nltAaf
young tnau, who was ancsmi suuii.Jy
after the tragedy occurred, announced
his intention to turn State's
evidence, according to the authorities,
and in company with Dr J H
Haye and his father, Hose Norman,
the youth was taken to Chester by
auto this afternoon and there is said
to have made full confession of the
whole affair to Solicitor Henry. The
alleged confession, of course, was
not made public,but it is stated that
it was largely a confirmation of evi
dence the solicitor aireaay naa.
It had been rumored here for several
days that Norman would confess,
and a number of people were
expecting it. It is said that there
are others among the eight prisonera
now in jail who are willing to
tell what they knew about the lynching,
in an effort to save themselves,
if they are given an opportunity.
Young Norman was returned here
shortly after 5 o'clock this afternoon
and with his bond fixed at $5,000,
is being held as a material witness.
He had little trouble in obtaining
bondsmen. He may or may not tell
his story before the grand jury j
Monday.
No further arrests have been
made and probably will not be until
after the meeting of the grand jury
Monday, Several others who are alleged
to have been in the mob which
put the negro preacher to death
early in the morning of August 24
will then be taken into custody.
There is a possibility that some may
flee the State before arrests come,
but that is hardly probable.
TO TEACH AGRICULTURE.
Trustees of Williamsburg Schools Take
Advantage of New Law.
An important meeting was held
here Saturday afternoon in the office
of Mr J V McElveen, county superintendent
of education. Its object
was for the consideration of the
establishment of agricultural training
departments in the county schools
under the provisians of an act passed
at the last session of the General
Assembly and approved by the Governor
on February 27. This act pro
' * iL. 1 3
viaes tnat wnenever tne uuuru ui
trustees of three or more school districts
shall raise by taxes, private
subscription or otherwise and shall
deposit $750 with the county treasurer
an equal amount will be provided
by the State to pay the salary
of a man as teacher or instructor in
agriculture. The State may, however,
allow as much as $1250 in this connection,
as is provided by the act.
At the meeting here Saturday enthusiastic
trustees were present and
signed contracts to take up the work
in the Hemingway Graded School,
Union High School, Indiantown Graded
School and the Cedar Swamp
Graded School, each of these being
represented. Prof Verd Peterson,
State superintendent of agricultural
institutions, was present and addressed
the trustees and representatives
of the above named schools.
County Superintendent McElveen
is very enthusiastic over the success
of the meeting and feels confident
- * x ill
that other scnoois in ine county win
join in the move, as the need of a
more practical educational system in
the rural communities becomes, he
says, more apparent every day, and
he thinks the teaching of agriculture
in these community schools will come
nearer filling the needs of the people
than any other proposition previously
set forth, especially so as Williamsburg
is essentially an agricultural
county.
Since Saturday's meeting Mr McElveen
informs us that the trustees
of the Johnsonville Graded School
have signed the contract and will
take up the agricultural training
along with the schools above mentioned.
Similar work in several of the rural
schools has already been conductLimnoocfn!Iv
on fhpir nwn initifl
CU auw^oo&unj VM vwva* W ?%
tive, but of course this had to be
done in a very limited way, on account
of no funds being available
from State or county appropriations.
We hope to see the day when agricultural
and manual training will be
a part of the course of instruction
in every school in this county for the
boys and domestic training for the
girls?a more important accomplishment
in the future housewife than
a musical training, but let's have
both wherever and wherever it is
possible.
