Nine vears ago Sunt. Kdtnunds of ih<- cit\ schools decided to make military instruction a part of the high school course ami the boys of the higher grades were enrolled In i < ftdel Company? This feature oi the school work proved so popul?r with thi school hoys and the results vwre so gratifying and beneficial that it has be? "roe a permanent depart? ment of the Schoo] system. The high school now has a battalion of four companies, commanded by the school commandant) who is ? grad? uate of the South Carolina Military Academy. The cadet Companies ale armed with old BprlngHeld rlfiei which were purchased from the United States Government. after much difficulty. When the effort was made to buy the old liflOg from the government the olDclalJ of the Wfcf Department flatly refused to 11 them, and it was only after an appeal was made to Senator Till to use his influence with the War Department, which he promptly and effectively did, that the officials were ftjMa to see that it would be ju-t as well to sell a few of the dis cardsd army riHles that were stor? ed in the old Arsenal at Augusta, Ga., to the Sumter High School, as to sell the.m as old junk. The high vehool boys have made good use of UM old rifles and each year the Sum? ter school graduates a large class of boys who have been thoroughlv drilled In the manual of arms and in company and battalion field evo? lutions. So far as the writer knows the Sumter schools were the pioneers in the organization of cadet companies among the school boys?the Sumter High School batallion was certainlv the first to be organized in the state of South Carolina and probably the first in the United States. The success of the plan in Sumter has demonstrated its usefulness and the endorsement of military instruc? tion in public schools by Assistant Secretary of War Oliver proves that the officials of the War Department have changed their point of view Since they refused to sell old army rifles to the Sumter High School. The folowlng news article in the Columbia Record indicates that the Sumter plan of giving military in? struction in the public schools may soon be adopted throughout the United States. "I heartily endorse the plan, said Adjutant General Moore, referring to the proposal by Gen. W. I). Oliver, assistant secretary of war. that oth? er States pass acts similar to one which has been tried out in Cali? fornia, permitting the enrollment of high school students Into cadet com? panies for military Instruction. Ad? jutant Cicloral Moore said the gen? eral adoption of the California idea WOttM create a highly efficient re serve corps and that besides the mili lary training would be worth much In Itself to the students. ? 'General Oliver has dispatched to the governors of all tin- States a let or inviting their attenion to the enactment by the California legisla? ture of a law providing for the or? ganization of companies and batal Itons of high school boys, who are t<> be armed with Krag-Jorg?nsen rifles and trained by Competent in? structors detailed from the regular army."

Conversnnl With Case but Inclined to be Le? nlent With Chemist, Washington, July is.?Dr. Harvey W, Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, probably will not be re quired by President Tan to resign, hut will be reprimanded, accordini to the consesui of opinion of visitors who talked with Mr, Taft today. The recommendation of Attorney General Wlekersham that Dr, Wiley be per? mltted to resign waj barely tom bed upon at the cabinet meeting, but this Impression was strengthened In the minds of callers at the White House during the day. The president thus far has not read the record in the ease, nor be. he before him the recommendation of James Wilson, secretary of ag? riculture, In Whose department the trouble arose and who has been di? re* ted to pass upon it. Intimations that Attorney General Wlekersham exceeded hli authority in his recommendation were set at last by the president today. In con? versation with callers the president explained that he had requested the attorney general to pass upon the legal question involved in the Wiley matter and that, proceeding on this theory, the attorney general answer I d him in strictly legal fashion. Mr. Wickersham the president told some of his visitors, did not expect his opinion to he given to the parties concerned and wrote it largely for the president's guidance alone. At a recent cabinet meeting, at which Mr. Wickersham was not present, it was agreed that the papers in the case should he sent to all parties interest? ed and this was done by the presi dent, who did not expect them to be made public. The president's explanation <>f how Mr. Wickersham became involved in the case led some of his hearers to the conclusion' that the attorney general Will have no reason to fee4 injured if his recommendation is not followed by M*. Taft when he re? views the Issue. There was opportunity to refer to 1 >r. Wiley for only an instant at the cabinet session today. Mr. Wilson Immediately theareafter took Dr. Wi? ley's answer back t<> his department with him. promising to look it over and make a recommendation as soon as possible. Dr. Wiley's answer t I the charges made against him by the personnel commltes of the department of ag? riculture was presented to President Taft today. The outline of Dr. Wi? ley's defense was not disclosed. Although Attorney General Wick? ersham is o\it of the City, the case was discussed informally by the cabi? net, owing to the fact that Attor? ney General Wickersham. who speaks. In Duluth tomorrow night, will not be back in Washington before Fri? day and that Mr. Taft expects to spend the week-end at Beverly, It is unlikely the president will go over the caas before next Tuesday. CREAMERY SHUT DOWN. Quantity or Milk to be Had Insuffi? cient in Gaffney, Gaffney, July 18.?The Cheroke* creamery, one of the county's in i.in' Industries, has temporarily BUS pended business. This project was established in Gaffney sonic months ago, a stock company composed of Cherokee county men entirely, own? ing it. For staue time they ran at advantage., and the proposition was a paying one. but the great scarcity of milk became a factor In the conduct of the business, and it Is stated that this is now responsible for the ? lose town of the creamery, it became ipparent .some time ago that en ugh milk could not be secured to ?un the creamery, and several of those most deeply interested Import id Jersey cattle for the purpose of ircuring milk to supply the cream? ery, Even tins, however, proved to be Insufficient.

Samuel Hyde, Engineer in Mill Near Anderaoln Kills Wife and Her Father. Anderson, July 18.?Samuel Hyde, a while man. twenty ?seven years old, early this morning forced an entrance through a window into the house of w. B. Beasley, his father-in-law proceeded to the room occupied by his wife win. had been separated from him and deliberately tired upon her. Three bullets hit his wife's little sis? ter, who was asleep In the bed with her. Turning round, Hyde then walked out of the room into the hall, where he encountered Mr. Beasley, who had been awakened I y the pistol shots. Mr. Beasley, who is fifty-five years old, caught hold of Hyde and a tus? sle followed, in the tussle Hyde re? loaded his pistol and fired at Beas? ley, the shot piercing his heart , causing Instant death. Hyd< then took to a corn field and had a friend to telephone for the sheriff. riie officers arrived and Hyde surrendered and was taken to jail. The shooting occurred in the Orr Mill Village, just outside of this city. Hyde stat d today that he went to the house to kill his wife, that he Is well satisfied with his deed and Is ready to die for it. He says h's only regret Is that he had to shoot the old man.

WOULD SEPARATE COMPANIES. Government Suit Against Heading Hallway and Coal Corporations. Washington, July 17.?A Govern? ment suit, to compel a dissolution of the Beading Railway Company from the Beading Coal Company, was filed today In the Federal Court, at Phil? adelphia. The action parallels a re? cent one against the I*dgh Valley and is the Government's second move In Its new fight to separate the coal carrying roads from the mines. The Government's suit takes the form of an amended complaint to the original commodities clause action of 1908, which is in conformance with the commodities decision of the Su? preme Court. It is charged by the Government that the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, the Pulton Coal Company, the Locust Improve? ment Company. the Tremont Coal Company, the Mammoth Vein Coal and Improvement Company, the Preston Coal Company and ihe Del? aware Company are merely dummies of the Reading Railway Company and the Leading Company, which is the bidding corporation. As In the Lehlgh Valley suit, the Government chaVges that the Lead? ing Coal Company and its subsidiaries are buying anthracite from inde? pendent operators along the line of the Leading Railway, with the ob? ject of removing competition, trans? porting it to market at a loss, and there regulating the selling price. The coal company loses on such transaction, the Government alleges, that the railway company may pro tit by freight charges. A- a further evidence that the coal company Is not a bona tide cor? poration, but a mere adjunct of the railroad and a device for evading the commodities clause of the Inter? state- -ommerce law, the Government charges that the officers of the rail? way company and the coal company ate the same; that the railway com? pany has advanced more than $10, 000,000 to th ? coai company, which is carried as an open charge. The Government < lies that the railway company has paid as high as i per cent for money fe>r the> coal com? pany's operations. while- the coal company has seldom paid iny inter? est at ail and never more than 2 pel c? nt to the r. Ilway company, it is knowr that the- department ol justice intends to Unlit for a strict compliance with the- terms .? f the commodities clause by all the coal carrying railroads.

Fourth of Series of Social and lle ligious Gatherings at Betliel Church. A few notes about the recent San tee Summer Assembly will probably be of interest to some of your read? ers. Pour year? ago this meeting was! organized by the pastors of the San tee Baptist Association and Its first session was held in July of that year at Bethel church, eight miles out. from Sumter, In the Privateer sec? tion. The object of the originators was t<> have a meeting, combining re? ligious and social elements, a place and time When all who desired could com" for r* iigious Instructions and ?social pleasure. Four sessions have been held and each succeeding one has marked advance on the proceed? ing one. It is of the meeting, held last week that is more particularly of interest just now.

Prie-r of Bamberg delivered inspiring addresses, as did also P. S. Peeves of Honea Path and W. P. Wilkins of < Ireenville. The- social feature was delightful. This great old church is known for and wide for its hospitality. Some ten e>r twe lve tents were on the ground. These, together with the school building which many visiting ' ladie s occupied were tenting places of some twenty-five or thirty. An excellent < aterer on the ground* cared for the inner man of the tents. Not soem shall we forget "StoneyV fried fish and chicken.
