"CAL" ARRAIGNS THE JURY.

Mr.. Editor:-So much has been said about

Greenwood on the fatal morning OF the 18th,
all the blame seemingly heing centrred
upon said town for this atrOcious murder.

GOOD ADVICE TO BOYS.
Necessity for Taking Good Care OF
Their HeaIlh-The Value Of Money.

Necessity for Taking Good Care OF
Their HeaIlh-The Value Of Money.
Enoch Pratt, the Brooklyn million
aire and philanthropist, and founder
of the Pratt Institute. once said:
MY advice to young man just start
ing in life. and ambitious to become
wealthy, is to take good care of his
health, to shun all bad habits and to
save at least ST out Of every So he
earns and immediately get that 81 out
at interest. a man must have good
health to put forth his powers to the
best advantage. TO make money his
brain must be clear, and not clouded
by rum or tobacco. l have spoken OF
tile Importance of getting your savings
out at interest Immediately. Few pen-
rle have any idea of the rapidity with
which money at interest grows, AMI
there is not better, safer way to get 1t
out at interest than to buy some sniali
piece of real estate that is improved
and pays rent sufficient to yield sur
plus that will pay the taxes, the inter-
est on the mortgage you Will nave 10
give and something on the principal
each year. Continue to work hard and
save all you can from your earnings.
ami apply all you save to paying on
the mortgage. In this way you will
snon have good and perfectly safe in
vestment.

VENNER RAY AT LIBERTY,
He and Nine Other Prisoners Escape
From GreenvIile Jail.

A rumor WAS aaoat Sunday that Venner
Ray had escaped from the jail at Greenville,
but nothing was thought OF II until Monday.
when Sheriff Nance received the following
dispatch:
Greenville, S. c., Oct. %, 1895.
Sheriff. Abheville, s. c.:
Venner Ray escaped jail with nine other
prisoners. Overpowered jatlor.
P. D. Gilreath, Sheriff.
Venner Ray, 1t will be remembered, Ia the
man who is charged with completely IN the
murder Of j. j. M0seley. on the night OF Octo-
Der 18th, and for which crime Tom Pei rerson
now stands sentenced to he hanged at Abbe-
Vile ON the 81 h OF December next.
After Tom Psterson's cOnfession, and after
he implicated Venner Ray with having pro-
cured him To do the murder, there has BEEN
sentiment against Venner Ray. Out OF abun-
dance of caution Judge Benet signed an order
transferring him to the Greenville jail last
Wednesday.
Deputy Sheriff Kennedy went with him,
and I'm the way Venner Ray seemed deeply
affected, and cried while being taken to
Greenville. When Deputy Sheriff Kennedy
arrived In GreepviIle he WAS satisfied that
Venner had sympathizers among The by
ISLANDERS. one of whom proposed to take up a
collection for Rays benefit, but no blame IL
attached TO anybody for his escape 1t was
probably one Of those unaccountable occur
repces.

ABOUT LIGHTNING.
The, Trees Which are Most Frequent
ly Struck-S0me OF Those which
are Comparatively Exempt From
Contact with the Fatal Fluid.

SOuttCt WIFI tue tataA 80
A curious thing about lightning is
that with all its disposition to strike
trees 1t has In a blind sort Of way of it's
own preference between varieties.
This singular fact was observed more
than hundred years ago, when 1t was
announced in general terms that the
elm, chesnut, oak and pine were often
struck, the ash rarely, and the beech,l
birch and maple never. Further OBJ
servation showed that the last state
ment is not true. It il fact, however,
that the Uak is most frequently and the
beech the least frequently struck; The
values are something like, If l repre-
sents the frequency for the beech tree,
and Is for pines, other trees generally
averaged at 40, and the oaks at "a.
Trees struck are generally those stand
ing in the clear or on the edge of for
ests, and in height from So to SO feet.
The trunk appears to be struck about.
three times as often az the boughs.
The stroke usually travels to the
ground only jumping to other trees
about three times in hundred.
It is dangerous to stand under trees,
in the doorways of barns, close to cat
tie, or near chimneys and f1replaces
during thunder storms. On the other.
hand, no safety Is gained by going to
bed or trying to insulate oneself In
feather beds. Small articles of iron or
Sleel do not have the power to attract
lightning or determine the path of dis.
charge. Nor villa few inches of glass
or a few feet of air serve as compe-
tent insulator to bar the progress of q !
fa-h Of lightning that has forced its
way through thousand feet of air.
There are no competent records
which show what proportion Of per-
sons struck by lighrning are killed out
right. Prof. McAdie says he knows of
but one record, aud in that of 2l2 per-
sons struck, "a were killed. Therefore,
he urges that where q person has been
struck by lightning the effort to stinu-
late respiration and circulation should
not cease in less than an hours time.
He believes that lightning often brings
about suspended animation rather
than somatic death, and says there are
y number of cases in the medical jour-
pals corr0borative Of this view. =
During the thunder storm when the
Washington Monument was struck
the other day, group Of gentlemen
were seated at window looking out
on the rain-swept street. There was a
binding flash, at which one of the
group, seeing this, remarked quietly:
ITS no Use to dodge flash Of light
ming. The flash you see is harmless
to hurt you. Why? Because electric
ity travels about hundred miles q
second faster than light, 80 that If
lightning hits you you'll not see 1t, and
if you see it it won't hit you"

Peace is the grand Christian charity,

Arbitration may not satisfy either
nation at the time. but it satisfies the
conscience of mankind and must COM

Let come what will-even death.
Only be at peace with self; live IN the
presence of God, in communion with
Him, and leave the guidance of exist

whom thou canst do nothing.
Prayer is the breath of the soul.
The soul that is alive to God prays, as
