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.'''

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.

A hole In his righr heel enabled a
negro workman in the diamond fields
of South Africa to secrete and steal
gems to ihe value of $273,000. These
he expressed in small parcels of fruit
to a cousin in King William's Town,
in the extreme south of Africa, from
which place both recently departed for

tenced lo lifetime servitude for rape.
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.

Probably you use it
Nearly everyone does, and if so you
know all about how far superior it is to
either baking soda or baking powder.
Leaven
is the latest advance in baking prepara*
tions, and if you don't use it you should.
It Is Better Than Soda
because it will make biscuit just right
every time. No more yellow spots or
soda, taste.
It Is Better Than Baking Powder
because it is half as strong again and
cue heaping teaspoonful will do the
work of two rounded teaspoonfuls of
the b. st baking powder ever made.
It Don't Spoil
but i- so prepared that with ordinary
care it will retain its full strength for
years. We do not have to pack it in
tm cans like baking powder, and this
saving enables us to give you better
va*ie for your money than you ever
had before.
