Items from the Eddyville AdUance
a distressing, as well as somewhat
curious accident occurred on the eve
ming of the Fourth, whereby Mr.. j.
Fl. Weber who resides about one
mile south of town on farm came
near loosing bis life. The facts are
substantially as follows: On Sunday
evening after dark Mr.. w. went into
his stable to feed his horses and hav-
ing passed in between two horses
which stood in the same stall, he was
in the act Of feeding one when the
other caught him by the neck and
throat and bit him so severely as to
lacerate and rupture the trachea or
winipipe. DIR. Harding of our city
was Immediately called, and soon after
for consultation DR.. A. d. Rouse
They found the cartilaginous portions
of the trachea broken and the air pass
ing through the rupture into the Sub
cellular tissues Of the breast and even
arms. Also on account of the def
cheney OF air in the lungs the blood
was becoming disordered and the pa
tent was suffering intensely. His
condition has since been steadily i'm
proving, and now strong hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery. His condi-
ton however is still quite precarious.
To add to tho misfortune of Mr.. W.
and his family, their dwelling is en-
tirely surrounded with water so that
access to it can only be obtained by
means Of boats. They have the SYM
pathy of the entire community.

The Washington Light Infantry of
Charleston were received in Boston with
most aattering honors. At the Mayors
reception at Music Hal, speeches
were made by Gems. Sherman, Fitzpatrick
and Burnside of the U. s. Army, and by
Fitz Hugh Lee and Col. Andrews in res.
ponse. COLA. o. Andrews, of Charles
ton, an honorary member of the w. /.
l., spoke as 70 lows:
South Carolina receives with the deep
est emotion the greeting of Massachusetts
an emotion whose tenderness, whose
intensity, whose amplitude, can only be
measured as when twin sister meets twin
sister, and the fiery tribulations' the
estranging viclssitudes of the past, are put
aside, all lost sight of, all forgotten, in
the happy auguries Of an unclouded
and an undivided future.
How opportune is the happening of
these centennials. Verify there 10 prov.
idence that shapes our ends. Long, and
rugged, and dark, may be the road, but
in the fullness of His own good time, He
causeth light to shine, and in ways un-
thought by human ken, brings about
results that Oil US with admiring wonder
and surprise. Who cen fell IN he i'm

we should be catching sight of, and

came Lexington and Concord. Old
Meclenburg followed, and in the echoes
which yet linger around US, we hear the
music sounding again with all Its primal
fervldness and fire, struck from that old
chord, as 1t first burst forth In nOtes of
quickening fraternity.
To-day we gather in pious homage
around your own consecrated shrine, and
JOIN with you in doing reverence where
Warren's blood was shed, and renew with
you, in, family pledge, the sacramental

"Gen Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia was in
one of the carriages following the Nor
folk Blues and was applauded so much
that he had to remain standing with un-
covered head for many minutes at time.
Great attention was also shown to Col.
w. Fl. Taylor, a guest of the Norfolk
company, who was Gen. Robert E. Lees
chief of staff during the last years of the
civil war."-N Y. Tribune.
The above account, and the enthusias-
tic reception accorded the members of
lie Washington Light Infantry of Char.
hston and other Southern military or
carnations, by the citizens of Boston
md New York, Is full of significance. It
is q general expression of the feeling of
sectional reconciliation which began to
make itself apparent in the canvass pre-
ceding the last Presidential election.
There are some, who, doubtless view this
exhibition of good feeling with mingled
emotions of pleasure and regret; of plea
sure, because they naturally prefer that
fraternal cordiality should again prevail
among the participants in the late terri
ble civil strife; Of regret because in the sign
of the times they see premon,tion of a too
great reaction. They apprehended that
in the haste to kiss and make friends the
conqlerors in the recent struggle for
great principles may loosen their hold
upon the advantages derived from success
and that the ideas which were overcome
in the tented field may yet predomi.
nate in the intellectual arena, the halls of
legislation.
There can be no doubt but what this
reactionary feeling in favor of those who
sought the dissolution of the Union, is q
manifestation of the sympathy felt by
the best classes at the North for kin
dred people who, they are convinced
have for the last ten years been subject
to state governments forced>upon them,
OF the most corrupt and degraded
nature.
Having grasped this idea, they will
do all in their power to encourage the
Inauguration of an era of honest lrgisla.
ton under uncorrupt and incorruptible
leaders, and whatever elements obstruct
the attainment of SO desirable an end
whether igmrsnce, lust ofpower or greed
OF plunaeH vail be thrust aside. If a
suspicion gains ground that the colored
vote is subyersive of the best interests
OF ap important section of the union
because controlled by bad men, the
handwriting on the wall indicates that
the same power that bestowed the right
ofsuffrage will not hesitate to withdraw IL
for the benefit of the descendants of those
who fought at Eutaw ana Bunker Hill q
century ago, to found this Republic.

THE U s. FREE SCHOOL FUND

fHE u -. FhEE SCHOOL FUND.
The impression is generally entertained
by those who hold any distinct ideas
about the resources of the Free Common
Schools, that the Commissioner entrusted
with the disbursement of the United States
School Fund, have q right to open and
maintain such schools in the Parishes of
st. Helena and st. Luke as they may
sec fit. In order to disabuse the pub
lie mind of this mistaken idea, We will
quote from the U. s. Statutes Mt large
1928 the sections which bear upon the
matter, 'tnilsmoney derived from the sale
of school farm lands 500 and all bonds
parchased with the proceeds Of such
sales, and all moneys derived from the
leases Of said school farm lands: by the
direct tax commissioners of the district
of South Carolina shall be turned
over to the Secretary of the Treasury by
the officers of the government, in whose
custody said bonds and money may be;
and said moneys shall be by said secre.
