WILD CAT" INSURANCE.
A South Carolina Company has Found
That il Doesn't Pay.

A South Carolina Company has Found
That il Doesn't Pay.
The Secretary of State was yesterday
informed that Mr.. w. p. Smith, OF
Moryen, N. c., soliciting insurance
without license and for unlicensed com
pany was arraigned in Maxton Friday,
and bound over to court in two cases
Dozens of cases could be gotten against
him; but it appears he is a thoroughly
honoroble and worthy citizen who acted
in utter ignorance of the law, and that
his company was equally ignorant of the
requirements for it TO do business IN the
State. @ Vi
Before Smith was arrested he had
ceased operations. having learned that
it was a violation. AT once his COM
pany, the Home Protection Association
of Newberry, s. c., filed application for
license, which license was held up, until
yesterday,
Mr.. MaXcy l.. John, who, at the in
stance of the Secretary of State prose
cuted for THE Governor came here and
laid the fact before the Governor and
Secretary of State, whereupon, upon
the urgent appeal of the company S
general agent, who was here, and upon
agreement to pay all costs, attorney S
fees, and license fees for six months
past, license was granted, and Mr.. John
authorized to ask suspension of judg-
ment at next court.
The penalty is severe, and nothing but
Mr.. Johns appeal in behalf of Mr..
Smith, who is a man Of good character
and honesty of purpose could have got
him off thus lightly. 1t has cost his
company a good deal any way, and 9TH
ers would do well to take warning.

HIS NAME is Young.
Something More of the Record of the
Woollcott Burglar

The police, are now convinced that
TIE gurgiar that is iii iail here. calling
himself Hayes and half q dozen other
names, is G. r. Young, of Poughkeepsie.
His family is said to be wealthy and ne
has evidently enjoyed good advantages
all his life.
Evidences that he is a very cool and
daring burglar continue to multiply. A
letter received by the Chief of Police
here yesterday from the police authori-
ties in Richmond says that the vahse
Young left at F0rd's Hotel in Richmond
has bene examined. In it were found
two pairs of old shoes, two dirty colored
shirts, an old coat and vest, hut no
papers.
He left here before the Petersburg
affair by nearly four weeks / saw the
bag left in Petersburg and it is the same
style of the one left here, except that
it is of canvas, lead colored. The hand
writing on the register is Identical here
with that in Petersburg. He registered
here as Il. II. Spencer, as w. I. Hayes
in Petersburg and Harry Fl. Wayne in
Washington.
He came here on january 18th, and
pawned, under the name of Andrew
Crane, a very fine ladies watch with the
initials "A. G. n" on the case. He
snapped the ticket with a negro jeweler
for brass watch.
81 got on to him when he sent for
his baggage TO be brought down to the
hotel office, stating that he was going
away. he was at the breakfast table
when / went into the office. Instead of
coming to the Office he left by the side
way, went to Cloves bicycle office,
hired wheel, took it TO Strauss pawn
shop ana hooked it for IS and skipped.
Keep your eye on your man. He is
slick alright and can crawl through
six-inch hole easy. hope you will
do him. Examine him for scars, India
ink marks and the like. He is right III

COURSE FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
The Board of Examiners Complete
Their Work on 1t.

The Board of Examiners Complete
Their Work on 1t.
Yesterday the State Board of Public
School Examiners-Professor l.. l.
Hobbs, W.. L. Poteat and NJ. c. s
Noble-completed the preparation of the
course of study prescribed for teachers
in the common schools. 1t will not be
given to the public until the proofs are
prepared by the Public Printer and re-
yised. z In the introduction it is declared
that it is the purpose of the State Board
of Examiners 10 help especially those
teachers who are willing to help them
selves. Under the various subjects will
be found helpful suggestions, not only
upon the work in the school room, but
also suggestions on private study fol-
the teachers.
I'VE feel sure" continues the intro
duction, that there are many honest
conscientious teachers, who are not sat
isfied with their present qualifications
for their work, but are not sure just
what to do or what course to pursue
in order to make progress and to bet
ter themselves for the school room and
its duties.
Owing to the multiplicity of books al
this time, the average public school
teacher is at loss to know what is
best for him, when he needs book on
any special subject. The State Board OF
Examiners has suggested under each
subject books that are among the best
1t is not expected that the average
teacher will purchase all OF these books
On any one subject. If only one can be
purchased, we think the first one named
under given subject be selected.
I'VE would like especially to impress
upon the teachers the importance OF
making, if necessary, a sacrifice in order
to have some good educational books
You should study the history and sci
ence of education. You should become
acquainted with some of the master
minds in the teaching profession. Our
successful lawyers study law. Our sue
cessful physicians study medicine. Our
successful business men study business,
and no less true is it that our successful
teachers should study teaching.
LET any teacher throw aside this
book, with fhe idea that it may do some
good toteachers who are i'm the school
room for eight or ten months in the year
year, but for a teacher of three or -four
months it will be of no service. The sub
iccts were especially prepared with this
in mind.
I'VE send this pamphlet out trusting
that it may be helpful to many of our
teachers, that it may be the means OF
infusing life and inspiration in the
hearts of some who may have become
weary. discouraged and disheartened."

4 Travelling Man at the Marlborough
Drank Too Much Whiskey.

Drank Too Much Nnlskt!.
A travelling man, G. Fl. Melvin, rep
resenting a Syndicate Publishing Com
pany, of Philadelphia, is thought to be
dying at the Marlborough House.
He came here Friday morning. When
he arrived here he showed plainly that
he had been on big spree. He has been
drinking and acting queerly ever since
he has been here.
Late yesterday afternoon he took an
overdose of choral and when found in
his room he had a pillow over his face,
and it was black from Suffocation. 1t
was difficult TO restore respiration. At
3 O'Clock last night Inc was still unc0n-
scious and expected TO die at any mo-
ment.
DIR. Harvey, who is attending him.
thinks that he has serus apoplexy, which
is a liquid pressure on the brain. This
theory lis borne ont by the fact that
Melvin has been acting very much like
a crazy man since he has been here.
