The yvOuId-Be Assassin OF King Hum


ROME, November 20.-Passante, the
would-be assassin OF King Humbert, manifested the
most perfect uncopcern and brutal selassurance at
his preliminary examination. When the magistrate
expressed horror at the dead the prisoner said: at
seems to me you getting too excited" On being
asked If he had not observed that the people would
have torn him to pieces, but for the police, he
pIied 1.-THE people are fools; they always act that
way" In answer to the question whether he had
intended to kill the king merely wound him. he
answered: my intention was to finish him." He
said he was not an internationaist nor socialist
that he did not know the meaning OF these words.
He failed however, to satisfactorily account for
nternationalist work found in his possession. The
king will confer the collar Of the Annunciate upon
SignOr Carroll.

An Explanation.

Mr.. EDITOR Lest the public should
be misled by the article in the Kers1ta,o
Gazette of last week, "Should be cared
for" I quote from the Deed Of Convey
ance, dated November 24th, 1875:
excepting and reserving unto them
selves, however, from said bargain, sale
and release the two marble slabs dedica-
ted respectively to the memories of Samuel
Mathis and Rev. Isaac Smith, deceased.
:,EIich said pieces are fixed IN and upon The
Inc unto themselves the further right Of
peaceably and quietly entering in and upon
said premises, and within the said church
building, for the purpose Of removing the
said marble slabs whenever the same may
suit their convenience.
Nothing is said in. the indenture
concerning the tablet to the memory Of
W. P. CASTOR, but | am sure arrange
'ments can be made for its removal also.
Perhaps this statement will quiet all
nervous excitement. .....r. .

From Russell Place.

As the time is near at hand when the
Board of Examiners for Kershaw county
will meet to examine teachers who pro-
Pose teaching in the public schools OF
this county during the next twelve
months, ] will take the liberty. of making
few suggestions to the Examining
Board. I am the more encouraged TO
do so from the fact that two eminently
practical teachers are members Of said
board. The qualifications Of teachers
have been based on their abil-
.itv to read well, spell correctly,
write legibly, give correct answers to
questions in geography, arithmetic and
English grammar, etc., A person may
bo proficient in all these branches Of
learning, and yet be incompetent to
teach Others. Besides tho education
acquired in schools, q teacher should
be good Judge of human nature, else
he will fail in governing his school
He should also have the art of impart'
ing knowledge to others, and of adapt
ing his mode ofimpartiug to the capacity
of the one to be instructed. There art
few who possess this art-,one of the
greatest factors in the make up of :
teacher. Hence, if the Examining
Board are not confined to a prescribed
formula in examining and fixing thu
grade of teachers, I would suggest that
| applicants be examined as to thei
capacity to impart knowledge, and t
govern o school, as we'll as to thei1
scholarly attainments. j. K. M.

Sam Lee.

We understand that the cause of th'
absence of Sam Lee. at the radica
meeting in Sumter last Saturday wa
owing to the fact that he was hiding tt
avoid arrest upon the verv serious
charge of having instigatei the poison
ing of the entire family of Mr.. O. H
Noise, of Sumter. on tho occasion. o.
the Democratic meeting at that place
on the 21st of September. .s..i .
The circumstances of the poisoning
are in brief, that on the day indicated
Mr.. Noise had invited Gen. NJ. c.
Butler and other gentlemen to dine with
him, at his home, after the speaking.
For some reason Gen. Butler was un-
able to do so, and was not present,
though expected up to the last moment.
After tbs dinner every member OF Mr..
Noises family, the guests present, the
servants and all who had partaken Of
any portion of the bountiful feast pro-
vlded were attacked with violent pains
and other iudubitable and distressing
symptom, Of active poisoning. Medical
aid was quickly summoned, aud in more
than one instance fatal consequences
were barely averted by the timely use of
antidotes.
An examination of several different
articles of the food remaining untouched
revealed the presence Of arsenic in all,
and confirmed tie suspicious Of Mr..
Moiae that the poison had been admin
istered by design. The matter was kept
as quiet as possible, however, and dill
gent Investigation instituted, which
soon discovered circumstances pointing
strongly to Sam Lee as the would-be
assassin, who had thus endangered the
lives of dozen or more Innocent peo"
pie in desperate attempt to procure
the death of one of the Democratic lead
ers. That he failed to accomplish his
purpose, and more than his purpose, is
considered to be wholly due to the fact
of the unusually large amount Of food
that had been prepared for the enter
tainment and the consequent weakening
of the poison, which had been distrib'
utcd throughout the whole.
It may be depended upon that the
matter will not be suffered to rest here,
as a judicial investigation has been de-
upon. It was the knowledge
of this fact and OF his intended arrest,
it is believed, that occasioned Lees alb
sence from the streets Of Sumter on
Saturday -Nsaos and Courier.
