II ?0 ISLE OF PILUS. ummm WILL BO TO CAMDEN. Smnvilie Did Mot Want to Under? take Expense of Preparing a Camp for Just One-Regi? ment. :V' SBLe Second Regiment of militia will go into camp at the Isle of Palms on the 27th of July, and Col. Sparkman's regiment of cavalry will be camped at . Ctotden in Angnst. Gov. Heyward and Adjt. Gen. . Frost yesterday took tee matter up when they saw through The State that Greenville did not ^^pt the Second Regimen;. .They - ired to Greenville and were inform ^ officially that the information was correct At the meeting'of the field officers Wednesday Gen. Frost called atten ? ~?z zo the fact that the written invi? tation from Greenville stated that the. :nr.rain City would like for the sentir? brigade to be encamped there. DoL: Boyd and Mr. C. J. Pride, who y were representing the chamber of commerce were asked if Greenville ?would be satisfied with a regiment /and these gentlemen declared emphati cstUy rhat such was the case. Upon I that statement the governor decided to order the second regiment to Green ile, particularly as the Isle of Palms seemed to be disqualified because the :' beach is under water at that hour in :e afternoon when the. regiment I^Euid be" on dress parade. Green Je evidently did not want to go to the ?vexpense of preparing a camp site for st one regiment for a week, with no . jsospect cf their return ness summer. Yesterday Liei. CoL Glen and sev \''ml other officers of the Second Regi? ment called on Gov. Hey ward and urged him to designate the Isle of Palms as the place for them to be en? camped. Timmcnsville and Darling also indicated that they wanted to sent to the Isle of Palms, and upon strong showing the governor to issue such an order. The )ia battalion was camped there summer and their desire to go back shows that the visit must have Ibeen pleasant. The camp ground is ?Bot far from the casino and the " brass Itofcttons" were very much in evidence st the afternoon and evening dances. Bock Hill was also urged as a de tfal place for the encampment and people of the "Magic City" were in the humor to turn but in full and make the visitors have a time, but the governor acted ipon the wishes of the officers or a large number of the officers of the regiment.-The State, July 4. [ARLESTON MAKING READY. Charleston, July 3.-President Gads of the Consolidated company, re notice this afternoon from Go ibia of the selection of the Isle of for the encampment of the Sec >ad regiment, and he immediately ?pened correspondence with Col.

BOOKER WASHINGTON'S 800D ADVICE He Discusses Race Problem Like a Sensible Man. Timely and Truthful Remarks Made by Negro Who is Working for His Race. Louisville, July 2.-Before an im? mense audience Booker TL Washing? ton, head of the Tuskegeir institute, tonight delivered an address. He said that recent regrettable events in con? nection with the race question went to show that the lynch law is not con? fined to any one section of the coun? try. These events, he said, tend to simplify the race problem by making it national. He appealed to the ne? gro to be calm and to exercise self con? trol. Among the other speakers was W. H. Lewis, assistant district attorney of Massachusetts, who was appointed several months ago by President Roosevelt. Principal Washington said in part : "In the present season of anxiety and almost of despair, which possesses an element of the race, there are two things I wish to say as strongly as I may; "First. Let no man of the race be? come discouraged or hopeless. There are. in this country, north and south, men who mean to see that justice is meted out to the race. Such a man is Judge Jones of Alabama, to whom more credit should be given for blot? ting out' the infamous system of peon? age than to any other man. J "Second. Let us keep before us the fact that, almost without exception every race or nation that has ever got upon its feet has done so through struggle and trials and persecution. "No one should seek to close his eyes to the fact that the race is pass? ing through a very serious and trying period of its development, a period that calls for the use of our ripest thought and sober judgment. "Let nothing lead us into extremes of utterance or action. It is, in the long run, the race or the individual that exercises the most patience, for? bearance and self control in the midst of trying conditions that wins its cause. Let nothing induce us to de? scend to the level of the mob. In ad? vocating this policy I am not asking ?hat the negro act* the coward : we are not cowards. The part we have play? ed in defending the flag of our coun? try is sufficient evidence of our cou? rage. 1 * The outbreaks of the mob emphasize two lessons, one for our race and one for the other citizens of our country, south and north ; for it is to be noted that the work of the lyncher is not confined to one section *of the country. The lesson for us is that we should see to it that so far as influence of parent, school or pulpit is concerned, no effort be spared to impress on our own peo? ple that idleness and crime should cease. We should let the world know on all proper occasions that we con? sider no legal punishment too severe for the wretch of any race who at? tempts to outrage a woman. "The lesson for the other portion of the nation to learn is that both in the making and ia the execution the same law should be made to apply to the negro as to the white man. "There should be meted out equal justice to the black man and the white man. Whenever the nation forgets, or is tempted to forget, its basic prin? ciple, the whole fabric of government for both the white man and the black man is threatened with destruction. This is true whether it relates to con? ditions in Texas, in Indiana or Dela? ware. It is with a nation as with an individual; whatever we sow, that shall we also reap. If we sow crime we shall reap lawlessness. RADIUM RAYS Prove to be a Cure for Cancer Valuable Discovery. Vienna, July 3.-Medical circles here are greatly interested in a report, communicated to the Viennese Society of Physicians and read at the recent meeting of the Imperial Academy of Science, to the effect that a long standing case of cancer was cured by radium rays at the clinic of the late Prof. Gusenbaeur. The patient, who was 61 years of age had long suffered from cancer of the palate and lip and had repeated? ly been operated upon fruitlessly until the autumn of 1902, when the physi? cians of the Viennese hospital declared it was absolutely useless to operate again. One physician determined as a last resort to go to the radium rays and treauid the afflicted parts by exposing them to the light of radium bromide, the strongest radium preparation in existence. He was rewarded by a gradual and complete disappearance of the tumors. Physicians at the same meeting re? ported that radium rays had cured a case of melanosarcoma (a tumor.con? taining a black or other dark colored matter), and several cases of red mole. Greenville, N. C., July 2-Fire which originated in Parham's warehouse in this city early this morning destroyed property estimated at nearly $100,000, partially covered by insurance. The fire for a time threatened the destruc? tion of the entire town and it was on? ly by extreme efforts of the firemen that the flames ware checked. The larger portion of the tobacco section was destroyed, besides several shops, warehouses and residences. Rochester, N. Y., July 2-A terrible i tragedy occurred tonight at the village i of Leecy, when Mrs. Wm. Baxter hanged herself and two children, Goodson, aged 8 years and Gladys, aged 3. When her husband returned to the house at 6 o'clock he could not get in. He waited for some time, then broke in a window and searched in the house. In an unfinished at tick over the kitchen, readied by a ladder, he saw hanging side by side from tlie rafters his wife and two chil? dren. It seems to be the opinion among the newspaper that Jim Tillman's lawyers have done more to awaken sentiment against him and his case than all the newspapers put together had done before. Give his honorable counsel plenty of time and plenty of rope and they may hang themselves. Florence Times. R?ssirs POSITION .*?? IS ON THE RECORD. What the Press of the Czar's Coun? try Has to Say. Will NOT RECEIVE THE PETITION. Interference With the Country's Internal Affairs Will Not Be Tolerated. Some Plain Expressions. St. Petersburg, July 3.-President Roosevelt's decision to forward to the Russian government the petition in be? half of the* Russian Jews is not pub? lished here. The foreign office has made the following statement: "The czar alone can decide whether the petition will be received but Alex? ander III would never have received such a petition. The petition from the Guild Hall meeting, called by the lord mayor of London in 1891, was returned through the foreign office as being in? convenient. The foreign office hopes the Americans will not invite such a slight. They would resent an anti lyrching petition. The foreign office has no special .interest in the question except a desire that international rela? tions remain unharmed since the mat? ter is purely domestie and belongs to another ministerial department." In an article which in officials cir? cles is declared to be inspired, the Novoe Vremya combats the "claim of the United States government that Russia should grant American Jews free access to Russian territory." The Novoe Vremya declares that if all American citizens were admitted to Russia "it would not be long before thousands of Jews who have left Rus? sia for various reasons would reflock to Russia in the guise of American citizens just as they are doing in Rou mania, Bulgaria and Turkey. If Rus? sia acceded to the United States' wish she could not refuse to grant similar privileges in the case of other coun? tries and would soon undergo a perfect invasion of foreign Jews. " The Novoe Vreyma also refers to the United States restricting immigration and concludes: "While Russia in no way assumes the right of criticising the internal measures of the United States, she on the other hand will not tolerate the least interference in her private affairs on the part of Ameri? cans." ? CUBAN TREATIES SIGNED. On the Naval Stations in Cuba and the (sie of Pines. Habana, July 2-The treaties cover? ing the navai and coaling station bases and the treaty placing the Isle of Pines wholly under Cuban sovereignty were signed today at noon. The Isle of Pines treaty was signed last. "While turning over the island to the absolute sovereignty of Cuba the treaty safeguards the rights and privileges of the American residents on the island as though they were on American territory. Property and ju? dicial and educational rights are es? pecially guaranteed, as well as the conveniences for reference to and theil registration of property and other ' public business. It . is pointed out that the American land holders are better off in respect to taxation than they would be under United States sovereignty. There were practically no difficulties or delays in reaching an - agreement on the subject of the Isle of Pines treaty but the naval station's lease was the subject of long and te? dious negotiation. The occupation of the naval and coaling stations will be perpetual, the rental price being purely nominal and based on the cost of acquiring the stations and sites by the Cuban gov? ernment, the United States advancing any money necessary for the purchase of private lands at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda. The senate committee on foreign re? lations is delaying tue ratifications by postponing action on the treaty signed Feb. 16, conceding the two naval sta? tions to the United States. President Palma and the leading ad? ministration senators maintain that all the treaties will be ratified before the adjournment of congress. ELECTRIC COTTON MILLS. All the Factories in Upper Caro? lina will Soon be Run by Electricity. Greenwood, July 6.-In view of actual arrangements already made it is no Utopian dream to say that in a very few years the whole cotton mill industry in upper South Carolina will be changed so far as power is concern? ed. The change referred to is using electricity as motive power instead of steam. Greenwood's two mills, the Grendel and Greenwood, Nos. 1 and 2, are in combine, as are also the Belton Mill and quite a number of the Green? ville mills. The company which has arranged to furnish the power already has some magnificient water powers on Broad River, in Georgia, and bas also purchased the shoals at Cooley's Bridge, over the Saluda, in Anderson County. This company is composed of Northorn capitalists. Capt. E. A. Smythe, of Pelzer, is the only South Carolinian who is interested in the company. As stated above, this is not a possibility but an actual fact. The mills enumerated have actually ar? ranged to take the power-all the terms, price, etc.. having been acced? ed. The effect on the cotton mill in? dustry, so far as this section is con? cerned, is far-reaching. The day of the steam engine seems doomed. It goes without saying that the change will be one of economy to the mills in cost of power. Jeanette. Pa., July G.-As a result of the breaking of the Oakford Park dam yesterday 20 persons are known to be dead and 16 are missing. The property loss in the valley will reach $1,500,000 and the distress is so great that outside relief will have to be ask? ed for. ORGANIZATION OF PEE DEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. An Executive Committe Repre? senting Each County Elected. The Pee Dee Historical Society was successfully organized yesterday af? ternoon. There was a very encourag? ing attendance of representative men from Marlboro, Marion, Darlington, Williamsburg and Florence. There has been quito a lively interest shown in the matter for some time in all of the counties of the Pee Dee section. The meeeting was called to order by Col. Dargan yesterday and on motion W. A. Brunson was called to the chair and Hartwell M. Ayer was chosen secretary of the temporary organiza? tion. The plaii proposed was for per? manent officers and an executive com? mittee composed of repr?sent?es from each county in the section to be chosen and for that committee to perfect the details as to the fee for membership and the subscription to the bulletins of the society. To prepare a constitu? tion and by-laws and take in charge the details of the organization. . The following were nominated : For president, J. L. Coker; vice-president Hartwell M. Ayer ; secretary, J. J. Dargan. Executive committee, A. G. Kollock, Darlington, C. A Woods, Marion, Walter Hazzard, Georgetown, W. A. Brunson, Florence, A. H. Mc Arn, Chesterfield, W. A. Cooper, Wil? liamsburg, J. H. Hudson, Marlboro, JR. B. Scarborough', Horry. This com? mittee was empowered to fill all va? cancies. McDonald Furman made an inter? esting and instructive talk on South Carolina history. The committee will send out a circular of information soon to all those who are interested. Those who are concerned in the movement are deeply interested and they urge all friends of the cause to contribute all the historical matter possible so that a complete record of the people of the Pee Deee section may be kept.-Florence Times July 3 EDUCATING THE NEGRI). Georgia Will Continue to Give Negro Schools Support. Atlanta, July 6.-The house of rep? resentatives of the Georgia legislature today, after a heated debate, killed by an overwhelming vote the resolution providing that in the distribution of money to common schools, the county authorities should apportion the money among schools for white and colored youths, according to the' tamable prop? erty of the two races. Today's debate showed that the sen? timent of the Georgia legislators is that the State shouid contribute to the limit of its ability to the common school education of the colored youth, even when tne burden falls almost entirely upon white taxpayers. Talladega, Ala., July 6-Joseph B. Graham, one of the most brominent lawyers and educators in Alabama, and Miss Jeanette Joiner were run over and killed by a freight train at the station tonight while he was pre? paring to .leave tbe city. New Scholarships for Mee Teachers at the South Carolina College. Clause from Appropriation Act of Gen? eral Assembly, 1S03: "That one thousand six hundred an? forty dollars be appropriated to be used, to provide forty-one scholarships in the Normal Department, one from, each county, of the value of forty dollars, besides the remission of tuition and matriculation fees, the beneficiaries to be selected under regulations to be pre? scribed by the Board of Trustees." This means $40 in cash to the student, -besides remission of $40 tuition and of $18 matriculation term fee. Thus thc scholarship student will receive from the College $5 a month for eight months to assist - him in his necessary living expenses. REGULATIONS BY THE BOARD. L Applicants shall be young men at least nineteen years of age. The pur? pose of the General Assembly being to encourage men teachers, preference will be given to those who furnish sat? isfactory evidence of having already taught for at least one session, and with success; but if from any county there be no suitable applicants who have taught, the scholarship o' thar county may be awarded to a you nr.; man who only intends to teach. 2. Applications shall be made to the President of the College, at Columbia, before July 1st, upon prescribed blanks furnished by the President or by County Superintendents of Education, upon re? quest. These blanks shall provide for information and refei^ences as to the applicant's age. physical condition, gen? eral character and ability, educational advantages, financial * circumstances, teaching experience, and purpose in taking the special normal course. Tho information thus_subrnitted will be re? garded as a preliminary examination, and those who receive permits to stand the later examination will be credited with the combined results of these two examinations. 3. The later and formal examination shall be upon English Grammar and Composition. History and Geography. Arithmetic and Elementary Algebra (Algebra, however, is not indispens? able.) The Normal Schoiarship Com? mittee of the Faculty shall prepare the questions and mark the papers. The County Board of Education of each county is requested to conduct this ex? amination at the same time with the entrance and other scholarship exam? inations of the South Carolina College and of Winthrop College (which this year will be on Friday, July 10th). The ! County Koa rd will receive the questions : from the President of the College, and . is requested to return the answers to ! him. at Columbia, forthwith, by mail I or express. 4. A standing Committee on Scholar j ships, appointed from the Board, in con ! junction with a standing Committee I from the Faculty, shall select the schol ; arshlp students for each county upon i the results of the examinations re? ported by the Faculty Committee, anii the other information submitted. Tho proper announcements shall be made through the President. 5. After the first year the incumbent may be reappointed, provided that, in the judgment of the Faculty, his apt? ness to teach, his progress in study, and his general character indicate that he is a suitable person to fulfill the purpose of the scholarship as provided for by the General Assembly. A CANDIDATES FOR THE PAPACY. Several Cardinals Prominently Mentioned But the issue Still in Doubt. Rome, July 6.-All kinds of specu? lation are already in circulation as to the probable successor to the throne of St. Peter. Opinions are much di? vided owing to the many interests which will be affected according to the choice made by the sacred college. The first question the cardinals will have to solve will be whether the con? clave shall be held in Rome or outside of Italy. It is believed that the sup? porters of the idea of abandoning Rome will be even fewer than in the conclave held after the death of Pius IX, when 32 out 37 cardinals voted in favor of Rome. The second question will be whether the next pope must be an Italian or a foreigner. It is gener? ally believed that he will be an Italian, because in view of the struggle, be? tween the church and the state since the fall of the temporal power and the constitution of united Italy, all the clergy as well as the clerical party, and even foreigners think that an Ital? ian pope can protect better than a stranger the advance of the religious and political interests of the church. The candidates chiefly spoken of are Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Sera fino Vannutelli. They are both repre? sentatives of the conservative policy, but are bitter antagonists of each other. Cardinal Rampolla is a very warm Francophile, while Cardinal Vannutelli is averse to the policy in? augurated by the present pontifical secretary of state of assuming the power to which he has adhered for 15 years. The most probable Liberal can? didates are Cardinal Bishop Agliardi and Cardinal Priest Satolli, whose breadth of views and love of modern ideas have been strengthened during his stay in America. The most pro bable religious candidates are Cardi? nal Priest Gotti, who would carefully avoid mixing up in politics, and Car dinal Priest Angelo di Pietro, who also has the very desirable requisite of age, being 75 years old. All these cardinals live in Rome, but a strong party which might in? clude a good many foreign cardinals advocates the election of a cardinal who is not a member of the curia such as Cardinal Sato, patriarch of Venice, Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop of Milan, both intransigeant, or Cardinal Cape celator, Archbishop of Capua, who is perhaps the most learned member Of the sacred college, and has concilatory ideas. It is believed that the first ballot will be merely a test in which nobody will be elected, but it will be used to see which way the wind blows. It is considered certain that if Cardinal Rampolla sees the impossibility of succeeding to the pontifical throne he will throw all Iiis strength in favor of an outsider, with a view to pre? serving his candidacy for next con? clave. Under these circumstances, it is supposed that Cardinal Oregli, dean of the sacred college, will be chosen as he is 75 years old and lately had a attack of pneumonia. All these plans especially those drawn'up by the cardinals of the curia may be disturbed by the attitude of the cardinals coming from out?ide Rome, principally foreigners. Things might be pushed to such a point as to induce a portion of the Italians from the provinces to ally with the foreign cardinals, in which case alone there might be possibility of a foreign pope. However, no French or Spanish cardi? nal could command the votes of the Germans or English or vice versa ; so that if an opportunity arises for a foreign cardinal to be chosen the most authoritative members of the college think that the only one who could ob? tain the prescribed majority is Car? dinal Gibbons. BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW. The Trade Conditions of the Coun? try Are More Promising Effect ot the Warm Weather. New York, July 3.-Bradstreet's to? morrow will say : Warm weathef lias been the keynote of the situation this week including favorable conditions for the winter wheat harvest, splendid progress by corri and cotton, enlarge? ment m retail trade in summer goods, generally heretofore backward, and, what is known most important of ali, bringing about a much more cheerful feeling as to the future outlook for business generally. Additional re? ports as to six months' trade are quite favorable despite earlier unfavorable conditions. June bank clearings, though aided by stock, grain and cot? ton speculation, large semi-annual disbursements and the putting through of large deals, have not been wholly dependent thereon for the marked ex? pansion shown over last year. Fail? ure returns are likewise favorable in that six months' embarrassments were the smallest in number reported in 20 years, though a comparatively few large suspensions, widely separated and generally unrelated to each other, swelled liabilities 5 per cent, above those of last year. Generally speak? ing, the second half of the year opens auspiciously. t~Z A slight decrease in sugar, designed to encourage backward demand, is noted. ?elow pine and white pine lumber is weaker at the west, but un? changed at the east, while hardwoods are generally firmly held. Aside from the continuance of the slightly better feeling noted in iron and steel circles last week, develop? ments are few. New buying is still small, though better than for some weeks past. Better crop reports and the placing of large rail orders, in all 500,000 tons, for next year, are a source of confidence.

The inquest over the death of Mr. Philips was postponed until to? morrow. A jury of inquest was organ? ized to view the remains, so the body could be buried, and the witnesses were summoned 'for Tuesday. . It is thought that several arrests will be ordered as the result of the inquest, but it was considered that the magis? trate's constable would be able to se? cure ail of the~ parties desired without any trouble.

In addition to the regular lectures by the professors of law of the South Car? olina College, the trustees and faculty, are pleased to be able to announce for the coming session a very attra< tive series of lectures to be contributed by some of the leading, members o?' the Bench and Bar of South Carolina. Among those who have consente.! tc deliver ene or more lectures to the law classes of the College are: Hen. Charles H. Simonton, U. S. Circuit Judge: Hon. William H. Brawley, U. S. District Judge: Hon. Y. J. Pope. Chief Justice of South Carolina: Hon. C. A. Woods. Associate Justice: Hon. Eugene 3. Gary, Associate Justice: Pon. Edward McCrady, Hon. J. C. Sheppard', Hon. G. Duncan Bellinger. Hon. S. J. Simp? son, Hon. J. P. Carey, and Hon. Andrew Crawford. The trustees and faculty feel that lr; securing the assistance of thes.v dis? tinguished judges and lawyers thej have accomplished something that will prove of the greatest benefit to these taking the law course in the South Carolina College. The number of those enrolled in the law department duri::s the last two years has been the largest in the history of the college, and the hope is entertained that the prospect of these additional lectures may still further- increase the growing number of law students. The great value of the training af? forded by schools of law has been toe thoroughly demonstrated to render necessary any arguments in their sup? port The day of preparation for the bar by solitary study in a lawyer's office has practically passed. Everyone familiar with the working of a law school must have been- impressed with the increased interest and zeal that re? sult from the mere association of young men who have come together for the common purpose of studying law. The daily discussions of questions of law, not only with the professors, but alsc with each other, beget an enthusiasm for the law which possibly, in some in-, stances, could never have been acquired otherwise. The advantage of attending ? profes? sional school in the State in which a man is to practice his profession is in no case more obvious than ir. that of a lawyer. Besides the familiarity gained with the decisions and statute law of the State, the friendships that he forms at such a school add very material y tc his future usefulness as a citizen. The career of lawyers as a class is more apt .to be of a public nature than that o? those engaged in any other piOfession or business. Not only are all of the judges of the State drawn from the : ar. but the occupants of the legislative .-. ! executive offkes are also drawn very largely from the s-'r^e source. As so man}* of the members of thf leg?! r?:" fession are naturally destine "; t . . L careers, it is of no little impo; . . that the young men who have d " i to become lawyers should com?- ? : close touch with other young rv e: their own State who h:r o '. hosea same life-work.
