RELIGION CRAZED NEGROES.
REMARKABLE SCENE BEING EN-
ACTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Fanatics Sing and Shout in the Fren-
zied Belief That the End
Has Come

A most remarkable state of affairs ex-
lists at NJ untville, S. c., and to some ex-
tent it is alarming the white people of
the neighborhood.
1t is religions revival among the ne
grOes, who have been impressed with the
idea that the end of all things has come
and that they must be on hand at this
point in order to reach heaven. They
think that the roll is even now being
called by the Master.
Thousands are there already and more
are going on every train and by every
road and by-path.
The continuous telling of a big bell
mingles with the singing, the shouting
and the crying of the frenzied voices of
the negroes. Ali work has been suspend
ed. stock is left to stand in the stables
and all of the colorod race seem to share
in the general belief that the end of the
world has come.
1t is thrilling and marvellous 81 ht
The singing, the preaching and the pray
ing continues necessarily through the
10y oAO ulSlG anu DIS LUS sun rises Ill Tue
morning it breaks out with renewed Wig
or.
No revival meeting ever held in this
country in any way approaches it. There
seems to be a spirit working from home
to home, causing everyone to come. The
news is scattered more and more each
moment and still they come. No signs
OF food they bring nor drink, nor does it
seem they do aught but shout. Every
passenger train that passes carries bv
people wondering whether such unceas-
ing sounds as that may be caused by iov
OF woe.
The grounds are not dotted here and
there With group, but one immense
thTong fills five acres square and in the
center packed.
A nearby cOrnfielI is being trampled
down, and like wave that from its cen
'er spreads this people stretches ont
broader and broader.
A portion shouts from one sounding of
the bell to the Other-teu minutes-and
then another begins. There is petition
and Il response:
Lord, don't call de roll till l git dar.' -
goes up from four or FIVE thousand
voices, and they say voice speaks out
from the throne of God, saying:
81 will rot call my roll till my Mount
vile negroes get here "
According o their saying they hold a
position midway between earth and heav-
en- and that they have no more earthly
feelings and have no memory of the past
and recognize no bodily needs.
A bicycle rider of their color whose
faith is strong, attempted to wheel it op

Worth Something to Be a Grandpa.

Mr.. Bradley Martin of New York is
said to have decided that it is worth a
good deal of money to be grandfath-
er. Accordingly, since he has achiev-
ed that honor, it is reported that he
will pay off the mortgages on the Earl
of Crayen's estates so as to give the
new heir a showing. If he wants the
new heir to get anything out of the es-
tate, however, it might be the best pol
icy for him to hold the mortgages him
self, so that the present earl could not

property.

A FOOL LAW.
North CaroIinians Must Go TO Jail if The ir
xes Are Not Paid Today.

The populist-republican legislature
of North Carolina has saddled upon
that state a law which would put
about half of its inhabitants in jail if
it should be carried out to the strict
letter. 1t provides penalty of 500
fine or six months imprisonment in
the county jail for all those who have
failed to pay their taxes by specified
time. 1t goes into effect September !,
before the farmers of the state have
marketed their crops, so that vast
majority of them will be unable to
meet the demands of the sheriff. The
chances are that neither the Judges of
criminal courts nor the sheritfs will
dare to enforce the penalty.

Origin Of the Marine Band.

A naval officer, who hac the history
of the service at his tongues end, says
that the Marine Band owes it's exist.
ence to the eccentrioities OF ore Cap.
tain Mcneil, who was a gallant if pc.
culiar officer OF the United States
Navy at the beginning of this century.
The story goes that Captain Mcneil,
when in command Of the Boston, off
the coast of Sicily, engaged a band
belonging to a regiment quartered at
Messina to play on his ship, aud that
when it was safely aboard he sailed
away with it to America, and SO the
Marine Band was acquired.
What became OF this band is not
written, but later, just before the
War OF 1912, another na7al officer of
reckless and venturesome spirit, when
cruising along the coast of Italy, sent
q boats crew ashore with instructions
to impress q band OF strolling musicians
as American seamen. This was done,
and the poor stolen Italians we're
brought to this country. President
Madison failed to appreciate the
humor of this ~cscapado and ordered
the musicians returned to their own
country. They were, accordingly,
placed on q man.of-war bound for the
Mediterranean, but on the way out
this vessel met and captured o British
warship, and, having to return with
the prize, brought the men back to
New York with he-. This victory,
perhaps, inspired the Italians with an
admiration for the service, for it seems
they abandoned the idea of returning
home, enlisted shortly afterward, and
subsequently we're formed into the
Marine Band. There is no doubt some
truth in this story, although it Is not
much moro than a tradition, for the
early records of the band show on its
rolls the names Of thirteen Italian
musicians. Its personnel to-day is oil.

cious when served out to young folks

We admitted she says, ''evcn into

cast that she threw n cloud Ovcr the
spirits of all about her. Before
long the cause of melancholy was
discovered, in tue shape of a
book %purporting to give the expert
ence of n missionary in n larger city.
The book was made up of nine scpa-
rate stories, with titles as follows:
''The Infidel," "The Dying Banker"
"The Drunkard's Death" "The Mi
ser's Death" "The Hospital" ''The
Wanderers Death, '''The Dying Shirt
