v CARROL'S WORK FOR COLORED CHILDREN The Industrial Home is Mak I ing Headway., _ From The St**>. Rev Richard Carroll's cherished scheme to build aa industrial home for bright and deserving children of his race has advanced another step. It was announced yesterday that Mr N. W. Broker had sold to the indus triai home his track of land three miies from town This plantation known as Alber marle, consists of 226J acres of very fine land extending from the Camden road northward toward the Garners Ferry road. Part of this land arrable and, indeed j very desirable for fara ing purposes. There are also large tracks of fine timber. Penn branch runs through the property for a mile Albermarle was once the seat of one of the finest homes in the t p country. Its owner, Mr Singleton, built there a magnigicent palace ard is said to have spent thousands of dellars building terraces, artificial lakes and gardens around his southern home which was destroyed by Sher man. Afterward Geo, A. Trenhoin, Secretary of the treasury of the Co 3 federate States, became owner nd built a home which was burned. The Rev. John L Girardeau, D D , * was its next owner. He built a borne which is still standing The house was made of brick taken from the walks and terraces which sur rounded the Singleton mansion. This tract adjoins the Carpenter place, which was bought for tte colored industrial home last April The consideration paid for the Car pester place was $2,500 and Mr Brooker will receive $7,500 for his tract. The papers in the latter trans fer have not been signed, but Mr. Julias H. Walker, treasurer of the institution, bas been informed that he may proceed to do so. The Carpenter place consists of 90 acres, and was bought with funds donated by Judge S H. Little of Bloomsburg, Penn. Mrs J. Louis Crozier of Upland, Penn , will furnish ~ the purchase money for Albemarle, and the school is to be named in ~^J nor of ber husband Chaplain Carrol! writes the State that the home will be opened Jan 1, 1900. Also the training school for hospital nurses. He is attending tba summer conferences at North field, Blas , conducted by Dwight L Moody. There are 3,000 ministers i 2D attendance. The industrial home for colored boje and girls bas gotten a good start. As the name implies the children are to receive a practical education The tract of land will be devoted to farming, in order to teach the boys ; there will be shops of various kinds ; and the girls will also be taught how to be useful and tidy. No creed will be taught, but Christian influences will be thrown around the inmates of the school None but competent teachers will be employed. Negro children under the age of 16 will be admitted to the school A proposed ieatore of the under taking will be a home for old-time, antebellum colored preachers, too old to care for themselves Fonds are sow on hand for this purpose. The institution is incorporated under the the laws of the State M r Julius H. Walker, vice president of the Central National bank, is treas urer and handles all the funds. Car roll, appreciating the fact that some might criticise him for accepting contributions, has devoted himself to soliciting funds which are paid to the treasurer without passing through his bands BOERS THREATEN RUIN. Landon, Aag ll.-The Boer organ in London, the Standard and Diggers News, today publishes a Johannesburg dispar eh threatening Great Br hain, io the event of war, saying the Boers are determined to wreck the mines and irretrievably ruin tbs general body of shareholder by blowing op miiliocn worth of machinery, adding that war will mean tbs absolute ruin of Johan nesburg, both as a tows sod at a min ing center, od saying : "While it will doubtless end io a victory for England, the price of that victory will be the ruio of thousaodi who ooght to consider the pries they must pay before author iaing the government to deelare war." Another Johannesburg dispatch, however, predicts further concessions Supreme Court Justice Charles G. Garrison, of Pensylvania, was asked recently what he thought of the situation in the Philippines In reply he improvised the following fable : "A boy who had a brindle dog waB on the point of achieving independence, when a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals accosted the boy and chided him for not giving the dog his freedom and finally bought the string for the sum of Twenty five cents. The last the boy saw of the kind-heazted stranger he was kick S ing the stuffing out of the dog because it bung back when he pniled on the string.''' Cali, see and bo/, embossed or Morai Crepe P O I. H. G. Pateen & Co._[ Why Billingsgate? Bailey (eighth edition, 1787) calls a "Billingsgate" a "scolding, impudent slut,55 and Pope and other writers uso the word in much tho same connection. When did this notoriety first attach to Billingsgate, and is vituperation a dis tinguishing characteristic of all dealers in fish? (Vide Chambers' English Dic tionary, 1872. ) There seems no reason why profanity should be more closely associated with Billingsgate market than with Covent Garden or old Smith field. Bot may not Billingsgate have suffered for the sins of others? Between Billingsgate and the old bridge was the favorite haunt of the riverside rough. ! All the down river tiltboats started and arrived at this point, and rascaldom reaped a rich harvest at this particular spot The space swarmed with "b'low bridge" watermen, the worst specimens j of iheir c lass. ! De FOG has left on record his unfavor- ! abie impressions of the tiltboat men, and in Dr. johnson's day3 the slanging j and swearing of Thames watermen, and j indeed of many of their fares, had be- j come a riverside nuisance. The stream was crowded with merchant vessels. Men-of-war were moored off the market. The whole neighborhood was often in commotion, as press gangs arrived with fresh consignments for the tender o; the tower. Thus blackguardism seemed naturally to gravitate toward the neigh borhood of the market, though net necessarily to the market itself, of whose frequenters it may in ail charity be inferred that they had the average low class Londoner's disregard for the delicacies of speech.-Notes and Que ries. Shah and Czar. What more dramatic than the cen trast between the swift and bloody death of the successor of the monarchs whose kingdom had already grown old when Casar's galleys first touched the shores of Britain, and the triumphant inaugu ration cf the reign of the ruler of the youngest of European powers, with princes, ambassadors and nobles bowing before the throne, an armed host around him'and a dazzled and bewildered na tion shouting in their madness, ' 'It is the voie" of a god and not of a man!" In still more vivid dramatic contrast stands the shining figure of the young czar in the central pavilion on the Kho dinsky plain, surrounded by a gay crowd of laughing women and obsequi ous courtiers, while the bands play Glinka's "Life For the Czar," and, within sight and hearing, rolls toward Moscow the long line of wagons laden with the corpses of 3, OOO of his sub jects-poor dumb animals slain by the carelessness, cowardice and imbecility of his officials. * * Ave, imperator; mor turi te saJutant!" The catastrophe will, in a country so grossly ignorant and superstitious as Russia, overshadow the whole reign. Why had no care been taken to propiti ate a hostile fortune? Why, as in a Ro man triumph, had no slave been placed in the chariot of the victorious general to whisper in his ear that he was mor ia!?-Nineteenth Century. - r A Sole In II Heel.

The crime was committed in Sumter county in 1889. Four other negroes were found equally guilty Two of them, Tom Charles and Ned Wii Hams, aie dead, and two, John Wil liams and Ed Slater, have escaped. Mr A K. Saunders presented the petition, which was endorsed by the county officers and ether officials. The white woman upon whom the crime was committed consorted with negroes and had a bad nsme The brutality of the manner in which she wa3 assaulted is said to have been more hocking than the crime itself upon a woman of her character The petition was presented to Gov Evans and again to Gov. Ellerbe. This is the second time Gov. McSweeney has refused the pardon -The State. Tillman on Prohibitionists. Special to The State. Anderson, Aug 10 -At the reun ion of Co.
