Froa, the Albany Nelc8.)

Several months ago a man living
in Charleston, Illinois, was Iynched
for crime which he was Supposed
to have committed. Now the fact
has been clearly established that he
did not commit the crime, and ten
well-known citizens who took part
in the lynching have been indicted
tor murder by the grand jury.
These men are certainly guilty OF
having put an innocent man to
death. When men take the law in
their own hands they run fearful
risk OF committing murder.

WOULDN'T RECITE A LIE.
4 Little Incident in Wards Seminary at
Nashville, Tenn.
Snecial to Atlanta Constitution. !

Especial to Atlanta Constitution
NASHVILLE, May pa strike took
place at Wards seminary several days
ago, which has leaked out and is being
commented on in cOmmendatOry
manner by those who have heard it.
The history class in the academic de-
partment were reciting their lesson, in
which it was stated that Hon. Jefferson
Davis was captured during the war ar
rayed in a lady's garb. They were made
indignant at this and refused to 90 any
further, and the class was dismissed.
They were given ride on the dunn
my to pacify them, and matters have
been going along smoothly since. Pro-
fessor Hancock was asked about the
"strike;" and said that the girls had
been promised a holiday and did this
to get it. The history used in the school
is Higginson's, and Professor Hancock
says it is like nearly all other school
histories, in that it gives fair and
accurate account of the late war. "The
strike" did not amount to anything in
itself, but it shows thai they are suffi-
GENTLY informed to discover false
statement in regard to the president of
the late confederacy, and have enough
courage to protest against being taught
any such stuff Professor Hancock has
ordered another history, and will ex-
anime it with special reference to its
statement to the part taken in the late
war by the boys who wore the gray.

ACADEMY, EDGEFIELD
A Creditable Exhibition by the School
Addresses and Speeches by the
Candidates.

1t was our pleasure to attend the
picnic ard closing exercises Of the Coop
eryille Academy in Edgefield County
ON last Friday. 1t is always pleasure
to us to revisit our old home, and to
mingle with the friends and acqualn-
tances of former days. Two of the most
pleasant and profitable years of our
school life We're spent i'll attendance
upon this school. The school IS now
taught by Rev. f. c. Rice, and the ses-
sion just closed has been very sue
cessful one, more than 70pupils having
been enrolled. Rev. Mr.. Rice seems to
be doing a good work there, and the
exhibition on last Friday was very
creditable and successful one.
The speeches, dialogues, recitations
and essays by the pupils were all good.
This exercise took up the forenoon.
After partaking of the sumptuous repast
prepared by the good ladies of this sec
ton, the writer made short address
to the school on education, and then the
meeting was turned over to the candi-
dates present. The audience had a
great deal Of patience.
At the request of Mr.. F. V. Cooper,
the master of ceremonies, we introduc-
ed the speakers. Addresses were made
by Mr.. Scott Allen and Mr.. w. j.
Reedy, candidates for the Senate, and
Mr.. Thos. H. Rainsford, a candidate for
the Legislature, and Mr.. J. P. Bean
and Mr. John Smith.
The day was very pleasant one and
much enjoyed by all present. There
were number of other candidates pres.
ent. In fact, Edgefield has quite a
number of candidates, and they seemed
to be Il nice, .jovial set offellows, and we
felt like we would like to vote for all OF
them.

somErHHe rHHe TO THINK ABOUT.

DR.. A. G. Haygood, in his address,
delivered last week at Clafin Univer-
sity, Orangeburg, said the negroes who
had been free for only twenty-three
wears had made most wonderful prog
ress in education. When freed there
were upwards of five million of them,
all without education. To-day more
than two million of them could read,
and fifteen thousand Of them were en-
gagged in teaching. They are going
forward faster than any people SIM
ilarly situated in the annals Of his
tory. We fear they are doing more in
this direction than our own people.
These are things our people should
think about. This race question is
going to be a big question for our
statesmen before many more years,
anyhow.
We are glad to note their progress in
this direction, and only hope that it
will stimulate the white people to
greater eXertion in this direction for
their own race. The educated men
the men of mind-intelligent men-are
the men who rule in all countries.

DR. WOODROW NOT SUSTAINED.
4 Big Majority Says He Was Wrong-Soutll
Carolina Stands by Him.

BALTIMORE, May 26.-The Southern
Presbyterian General Assembly met at
$50 this morning, DR.. Bullock in the
chair, DR.. Woodrows's case was resum-
cd and the call continued for an eN-
preston of the views of members on
evolution. Most of those who gave eX-
preston to their views announced their
beliefin the sincerity of DR.. Woodrow
but could not sustain his complaint.
Others declared the question to be be-
yond the jurisdiction of the assembly
and said it should be dismissed without
consideration. Others again denounced
the theory of evolution as opposed to
Scripture and subversive to the interest
of Christianity and of the church. Still
others insisted that DR.. Woodrow in his
teachings did not violate any law Of
God or of the church and that his COM
plant against the Synod of Georgia
should be sustained. The delegates from
the South Carolina Synod, with three
exceptions, spoke in favor of sustaining
the complaint of DR.. Woodrow and the
Rev. DR.. J. o. Lindsay declared his
entire belief in evolution, not only in
the creation Of the body of Adam but in
the creation of all things. His remarks
were greeted with applause which was
promptly checked by the Moderator,
who told the Assembly that they were
in court of Jesus Christ and he hoped
there would be no repetition of such
approval or disapproval.
4 vote was reached about one o'clock
when 81 votes were cast to sustain the
complaint and 109 votes against sustain
ing the complaint and two votes for
sustaining it in part.
The Rev. Mr.. Whiting gave notice
that he will file protest against the
action of the Assembly in the case of
the Rev. DIR. Woodrow.

Mrs. Chaplin writes letter to eX-
plain why she attended the late Prohi-
bition convention held in Columbia.
She says she neglected important work
elsewhere, and called in appointments
IN order to be present and take part in
the work il her native State, and that
she was here at the earnest solicita-
tions Of the leaders in the movement.
1t hardly looks as if she were treated
fairly. We think the convention did
about the proper thing, but Mrs. Cha
pin should not have been put to the
trouble and inconvenience of coming to
attend if she were to be debarred par
ticipation in the proceedings.
Some queer things happen some
times.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE.
Approaching Commencement - Technical
Department. Professors Houses.
1From the Lutheran Visitor.

The approaching Commencement of
Newberry College promises to be one of
more than usual interest. Many of the
alumni and former students have al
ready promised their attendance. The
programme cf exercises is full and at
tractive, beginning with tn. exhibition
of the preparatory department on the
evening of Friday, June 18th, and clos
ing with the class-day exercises onWed-
nesday, June 20.
Reduced rates to Newberry have been
promised over the following railroads:
The Columbia 4 Greenville; the Char
lotte, Columbia & Augusta; the Allan
tic Coast Line and the South Carolina.
Tickets will be on sale Saturday, 18th,
and Monday and Tuesday, 18th and
18th, and good to return until Satur-
day the 23d.
Homes will be provided for all alum
nj, clergymen, members Of Board OF
Trustees, and Board of Seminary Di-
rectors, and friends Of the college, who
will notify the president of the college
of their intention to be present. All
who come will be welcome.
A plan for the establishment of a
Technical Department in the College
will be presented to the Trustees for
their adoption. 1t is proposed to estab-
lish department in which young men
who desire to qualify themselves for
business, or who may not have the
means fora thorough course may, in a
session of five to eight months, receive
thorough instruction in plain and orna-
mental penmanship, drawing, book
keeping, shorthand and type-writing.
1t has been urged by some friends OF
the college for some years past that a
movement ought to be made toward
the building Of suitable professors
houses on the college grounds. The
campus is sufficiently ample, and the
value of the college property will be
largely enhanced by SUCH additional
buildings BY the plan which will be
proposed to the Board, such rent will
be paid, for term Of years, by thopro-
fessors occupying the houses, as ought
to bring the cost within the reach OF
the Church. Five thousand dollars
put into four houses at g rental VI S40C
to $500 would not be bad investment
especially when it is considered that
thereby the property of the college (it
belongs to synod would be increased
in value, the grounds made more
beautiful and attractive, and the com
fort Of the professors and their families
promoted. The plan proposed is equiv,
alent to the creation of an endowment
fund of 5000 at eight per cent. per an.

RUNNING AWAY FROM A FORTUNE.
Disappearance of a Colore6 Man who was
Awarded $4,000 for the Loss Of u Foot
in Railroad Accident.
1Greenville News, 29th. ]

A gentlemen named Hudson, from
lower section of the State near Augusta,
appeared at the City Hall yesterday
and told a somewhat novel story.
Mr.. Hudson said that he was in
search of negre to whom the courts in
Georgia had recently awarded Sl0,O 900
damages from railroad company for
his foot having been cut half Oft in Il
railroad accident. He did not give the
name of the negro or ofthe road OF of
the place where it happened, but he
exhibited letters and credentials to
Chief of Police Kennedy that left no
doubt in that officials mind that he
was all right and his mission genuine
one. Mr.. Hudson said the negro had
disappeared several months ago, and he
traced him from Augusta here.
The claim for damages had been, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hudson's story, turned
over to the lawyers who, after hard
fight, won the award of SO, 900, half of
which was to be theirs. Then the
case went to the Supreme Court, and
in the long litigation the negro be-
came discouraged and left the neigh
borhood, going no one knew where.
When several months ago the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision Of the lower
court, it became to the interest of the
lawyers to find the plaintiff, as until he
signed the papers they could not get
the money.
Mr.. Hudson ssys he was employed to
find the negro. He traced him from
Augusta to Greenwood where he had
been put off the train. From Green.
wood Mr.. Hudson left the train and
walked through the country, hearing
of the negro with the lame foot all
along till he came to Pelzer, where he
found his man had worked for several
weeks in a mill. Here he came into
possession of a letter the negro had
written to his mother. From Pelzer,
Mr.. Hudson followed the trail to with
in three or four miles OF Greenvllle
where he found the wandering darkey
had spent the night. This, he said
yesterday, was his last positive trace
of the the man he was after, though he
had been told that man answering
the description had worked at the cot
ton seed oil mill here for some time re-
Gently.
Mr.. Hudson proposes to explore
Greenville until he finds either that his
man is here or has gone elsewhere. If
he can be found, he will come into the
possession of $1,000, and the lawyers
may obtain their share, the other s., 900.
The story of the poor, wounded negro
wandering from place to place while
earning bare subsistence, unconscious
of the fortune, a princely fortune for
him, positively seeking after him, is
| romlntic in the extreme.
