The Latest Frog Story from the Fork.


five were not afraid of getting licked we
would rot hesitate to announce that Baron
Nun has arrived in these parts.
Lny way, we will risk telling some Of the
things some people are perpetrating upon
an innocent public Mr.. Haynsworth D.
Plowden, man who was raised by good
parents, and who received the benefits Of II
frst-class Sunday.school training, told us
that few days ago while coming from his
fathers place in the Fork, he noticed in q
field belonging to himself place where
there had been shower Of frogs. de dis
mounted from his horse aud went int" the
field to investigate. He found a place COW
e.ing az area Of about two hundred yards
literally covered with frogs about one-half
inch in length. There was no pond any
where IN the vicinity and if the frogs did
not rain down he cannot imagine where
thev came from. Mr. Plow den, we think,
told us that he waded through this sea OF
frogs, but seeing us smile lie stopped talk
ing about them before telling rs how many
of them got down his shirt collar.
Friend Plow,.en is not the only man that
can tell wonders. Mr. james E. Davis toll
us that it ruined o hard on Deep Creek
last Friday tb:. MIR. Edgar Plowden, Jr.
became weathrr-boun,i in his barn, and
when the rain stopped Mr. Plowden had to
saddle his mule to get out OF the lot.
Then Capt. D. J. bradham stepped mp
and said that one day last week great big
balls of fire were were seen rolling around
in the road over in the Fork. and they stald
there until a heavy rain came along and e1-
tiaguished them
Major Levi joined 10 and said ne VAS in
Sumter last Friday sitting in his brothers
Office when lightning struck the telephone
wire and made such report behind him
that it lifted hin, from his chair and landed
him out into the store without straining
his suspenders.

Yesterdays Fire.

About 9 o'clock yesterday afternoon fire
was discovered eating its way out Of the root
Of Mr.. c. R. Harvin' residence. An alarm
was sounded, and in short time ready and
willing hands were there to fight the mons
ter's work of destruction. The root was
in blaze, and the prospect for saving the
building seemed rather small, but LADDERS
were soon procured and, by means OF
false window in the loft, Messrs. j.. n.
Lesesne and W. r. Wilder succeeded IN
getting in under the roof and, by having
water handed to them, soon eztingulshed
the blaze. 1t vas close call SO much SO
that the furniture was moved out into the
street AID the inmates had given up all
hopes of having their home saved. The
colored people, especially Policeman Wash
ireton and William DeLaine. who did
good work. While everybody worked hard
and did their best to save the property, 1t
was remarkable to see the energy displayed
by Lesesne and Wilder. They seemed TO
teel that responsibility rested upon them
similar to the captain Of sinking ship,
and they were determined to be the last
to leave. After all the danger was over,
and the furniture was returned to the house,
these young gentlemen still fingered to
watch the building in case the fire would
break out again. and were It not that their
time belongs to their employers, 1t would
not surprise Us to hear that these gentle
men are still watching tina. building.

Closing Exercises of the Academy.

The closing exercises of the Manning
Academy took place last evening, and. al
though it was expected that they would
take place in the Methodist church. as pre-
vionsly announced, the change to the
Academy did not interfere. and that build
ing was filed to oTerhowing.
The programme was short one and out
of the usual order of school exhibitions.
There were no Observation-Disclosures"
speeches, but instead, the large audience
was treated to literary gem from Dr.. John
A. Rice, president of the Columbia Female
College.
The exercises began with chant by the
scholars. and at its conclusion Captain W.
C. Davis stepped forward and with we'll
chosen words introduced Dr.. Rice. In his
remarks of introduction Captain DAVIS told
the audience what they might expect from
the speaker of the evening, and he did not
overrate him.
DR.. Rice delivered an address that covered
complete index to an encyclopedia OF IN
formation. His object seemed to be to I'M
press the mind rather than to tickle the
ear, and he succeeded in impresslng botG
the mind and the ear.
Mrs. Alsbrook deserves great credit TOR
the energy and devotion she displays Tor
her school and scholars, and in securing
DR.. Rice to entertain the parents and friends
of her scholars she showed fine taste.
After the address DR.. Rice called up Mar
vim Strange and presented him with
handsome gold medal. a beautiful gold
jewel was then presented as conduct
medal to Virginia Galluchat by Mr.. Joseph
Sprott, whose talk, although brief, was wei!
spoken and impressive. Major Abe Lew
then came forward, and in his usual happy
stvle presented Albertine Loyus with
charming gold pen with pearl handle as
a prize for penmansbip.
This concluded the exercises. and every
body that went felt deeply indebted to Mrs.
Als6rook for the magnificent entertainment
she gave them.

WINSTON, N. c., May 1.-The partic.
ulars Of big sensation, which occur
red at Pilot Mountain, several days
ago, were received in Winston today.
1t appears that serious report became
current about Prof. Whitaker, princi-
pal Of the high school at that place,
coupling his name with that Of his lady
assistant, the name Of whom is not
learned. Prof. Whitaker called for an
Investigation. A trial before the church
followed. The professor was repre-
sented by Mr.. Porter Graves, Of Mt.
Airy, who made a three hours speech
in favor Of his client. While he was
speaking he was guarded by friends
with pistols. The result Of the trial
cannot be given. The report about the
principal Of the school was put out by
some of the students. A fight between
the young men and the professor and
a trial before a magistrate are features
Of the sensation. The unfortunate af-
fair has broken up the school. for this
term at least.

The senator replied:

The correspondent handed the sena-

said:

New Developments In the Durant Murder
Case at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 9.-Attor-
uays for Theodore Durant claim to
have at last secured some testimony
that they think will enable them to
bolster up an alibi in the case Of Min
ME Williams It has been learned that
the witness is woman who conducts
hair-dressing ablishment and it is
said that she has communicated with
the attorneys to the effect that Minnie
Williams entered her esta blishment at
eight o'clock on the evening that she
disappeared. This statement is in
direct conflict with the testimony given
at the preliminary examination.
