P-.ter Giles, a colored man from
Lanes, applied at the office of the
Penn Lumber Company for work last
week. He worked until the noon
hour and had started for his dinner,
and when about 50 yards from the
mill he fell to the ground. When those
who saw him fall reached him he out?
lived a few seconds. Coroner Flowers
was notified and went immediately to
hold an inquest. After examining a
few witnesses and hearing the state?
ment of the physicians it was decided
that an inquest was unnecessary, as
the deceased came to his death from
natural causes-probably heart dis?
ease.

A Good Deal of Hot Talk-Senator
Blea-e Renewed His Attack on
Senator Manning, Accusing Him of
Inconsistency, and Quoting From
Mr. Manning's Record in the House
and Senate.
j Columbia. July [i.-The campaign
j meeting here today was divided into
j two sections, and ail-day sucker and a
I night matinee for Senator Tillman's
special stunt. There were some good
speeches at the day sessions, particu?
larly those of Senator Blease. General
Youmans and Mr. John McMahon.
Mr. Bleasce unmasked his batten,* to?
day. He did not use a stilletto. but
got right out into the open and used
j his sledge hammer on Senator Man?
ning. It is very evident that Mr.
Blease has gotten out his sledge ham
mer for use on Mr. Manning, as he
wielded it evidently against Mr. Man?
ning, no doubt counting him as
worthy meat. One of the slaps that
Mr. Blease directed against Mr. Man?
ning was that the backbone of the
Raysor-Manning dispensary- bill came
from the workshop of Senator. Till?
man and that it came typewritten
from Senator Tillman to the dispen?
sary caucus. This was the statement
yet unc.enied.
Senator Manning took a turn out of
Mr. Martin F. Ansel by asking him
wherein was his consistency in deny
ing the option of hgh license when he
favored each county acting for itself
when he was so insistent in advocating
county action.
Gen. Youmans loses none of his real
eloquence with his ripening age. He
made 2. ringing. speech and received
real applause. Mr. Lyon shows that he,
too. can steam up and hit out from,
the shoaider when so inclined, and he
did so today.
HOMICIDE EV ORANGEBURG.
Orangeburg. July 9.-There ,was a
shooting affair here, this afternoon be?
tween Jefferson M. Way and John D.
Palmer and the latter was shot dead
by the former. Mr. Palmer was shot
through the head, the ball entering
about the eye and death ensued at
once.
The shooting occurred in the store
of Mr. Way,, just across Market street,
~.r m the postoffice. The report is that
Palmer went to Way's store and they
. a talk. Later Palmer returned
to the store and the report is that he
. ed fire on Way. The latter ran
behind his counter and grabbed his
pistol which he is said to have always
kept hung hp, and then he opened
.ire. Palmer's pistol is said to have
been emptied when it was found ly?
ing beside his body on the store floor.
Way is said to have shot four times.
Way's hand was hurt from splinters
from o:ie of Palmer's halls sirikmg
the store counter.
It is said that the difficulty grew out
of Way's objections to attentions that
Palmer was paying to a grown daugh?
ter of fae former. Palmer is said to
have been drinking. Way is a man
over 50 years old. while Palmer was
about 30 years old.
Sheriff Dukes arrested Way a short
time after the shooting and he is now
in custody.-The State.

port. IL the team, gets hacked and
fails to play with vim and determina?

.STATEBURG SCHOOL PROBLEM.
Col. J. J. Dargan Replies to Prof.
Langtry's Article on '"High Schools
in Sumter County/'
Editor Item:
My attention has been called to an
article appearing in your columns
from the pen of Prof. Harold Langtry.
It is a good article, and I have en?
joyed reading it. as I have enjoyed
Prof. Langtry's conversations along
the same lines. He did not sign his
name from modesty and I mention it
to. give credit for merit where it is
due.
He points out in a philosophic way
the effects of the natural divisions of
the country on school problem now
presented tc the people here for solu?
tion. And it is a fact that the divis?
ion caused by the '"Hills of Sautee"
has worked almost as completely on
society as the Grampian Hills of
Scotland: wrought the people there
into Highlanders and Lowlanders and
brought about the conflicts of centu?
ries between those equally meritori?
ous clans. Birt modern day tenden
cies and forces are removing all bar?
riers of this kind. The etymology of
the word river alone survives to re?
mind of the divisions once made by
small water courses. But boats and
bridges have removed the river-bar?
riers and made possible the union of
peoples residing on opposite banks
so, too, are mountains tunnelled and
oceans crossed and isthmuses cut that
men may come together to their mu?
tual help. The facilities of communi?
cation and transportation of present
day life make old time natural bar?
riers against co-operation pass away.
So must it be here, we believe.
Besides, as I have told Prof. Lang?
try, I think my past life here pecu?
liarly fits me to become instrumental
in effecting a union of the peoples of
the hills and the plains, because I long
worked in intimate relation with both
peoples and formed personal attach?
ments in both sections that it would
be very hard to dissolve. I h^ve never
for one moment thought of having the
schools around here closed by the
force of a law on our statute books.
If they ever all come together under
my work, it- will certainly have to be
by the force of laws written on their
hearts. Xot for any consideration
would I consent to compulsory at?
tendance upon my school. The three
little schools which united to form the
General Sumter Memorial Academy,
last year, did so voluntarily and the
two in the district that did not come
into the arrangement were not look?
ed upon nor treated as offensive ri?
vals; but with every possible courte?
sy that would indicate friendliness
and good will toward thom and I am
happy to report that every courtesy
extended was met with a hearty re?
sponsiveness by the teachers in each
one. Ey Professor Langtry himself
with marked cordiality always. So
much has he done for good feeling
between the schools that we up here
regret almost as much as his friends
down there his leaving in the near
future. He has done a thoroughly
good work since he has been among
the people there and it is a misfortune
to us all for him to go just at this
time. I do. hope to see all the schools
here united some day for the good of
all. I have returned to this section
of the State after an absence of a few
years, with the most deeply seated
purpose to make my life a blessing as
far as my small abilities will enable
me-to bring friendships and not en?
mities among neighbors, co-operation
and not conflicts and progress along
ail the lines of life that lead to high?
er and better things and no doubts
disturb me as to ultimate success.

Read What The New York Mercantile and Fi?
nancial Times has to Say of the Mill
bourne Mills.
(Staff Correspondence.)
When we glance back over the pages of history we find many im
portant mercantile and commercial establishments which stand as
connecting links between the Philadelphia of the present and the
Philadelphia of the past, but there is probably none that enjoys a
more extended reputation in its special fieid of trade activity than
that so widely and favorably known under title of the Milbourne
Mills Company. Its long and successful career is a representative
one of the type which has carried American enterprise in commercial
pursuits to its present high standard, passing beyond all foreign
rivalry, and the near approach of the one hundred and fiftieth year of
its existence marks a new and important epoch in its long and useful
connection with the manufacturing and business interests of the
Quaker City. *
It is necessary to go as far back as 1690 to start with the actual
history of the company, for it was in that year that Samuel Sellers,
emigrant, purchased from William Penn a tract of land on and ad?
joining the site of the present extensive Milbourne Mills, at Sixty
third and Market streets, cn which about that time a small flour mill
was built. It was not until 1757, however, that John Sellers, first,
grandson of the original purchaser, began to improve the property
and erected a larger mill, which was later to become the great Mil
bourne plant that it is today. In 1S14 the second mill was erected by
John Sellers, second, and was operated for a period of fifty years by
Joh^ Seller's, third, as lessee and owner. Improvements were made
from timeto time, and in 1885 the property passed into the control
of the Milbourne Mills Company, of which John Sellers, fourth, be?
came the first President.
If one takes the time and trouble to glance back over the history
of commercial and trade effort in Philadelphia he will probably find
few enterprises which can point to the unusual distinction of having
been in continuous and successful existence for a period of practically
more than one hundred and fifty years, while at the same time the
energy and ability that have been displayed in the management of
the business during all of these years have had the gratifying result
of steadily broadening the scope of its operations. Our purpose in
thus referring to this old and important enterprise is merely that of
particularizing it as one of the historic commercial establishments of
the Quaker City, and it is not necessary that we should attempt any
description of the modern and complete equipment of the plant nor
of the superior facilities at command for general manufacturing and
trade purposes. Kven to add a word in praise of "Millbourne Flour"
would be equally superfluous, as this celebrated brand already en?
joys an established reputation for its uniform excellence, purity and
wholesomeness.
Those who have been buying this flour from
us for 15 or more years will con iii m the state?
ment as to its uniform excellence., purity and
wholesomeness.
