Stranger Than Fiction

From the Boston Post.
 Had detailed account of Admiral Dew eys phenomenal victory at Manila been puphshed in work of fiction 1t would in all probability have been denounced by navai experts everywhere as lncredlble-as nlgnt Of unreasonable fancy. The idea of hgnting such an extensive naval battle without the loss of single life by the vic- torious fleet would have been deemed pre- pos,erous. The terrible effect of modern aluhery or the type of much of that mounted in the Corregldor and Cavite hat teries, and of the formidable guns carried oy several of the eleven Spanish warships destroyed, would have been quoted to show that the result of such combat must have been a considerable loss of life and of ships by the victors themselves No writer of nction having any regard for proba bilfty would have Yfntured to write chapter de- scrIbing suct battle. leaving the v;ctors unscathed. Aruth. indeed, Is stranger than fiction.

German, and known as Hessing's splint have not ventured to-use this appliance in civil practice, but have seen it used, and believe it is very valuable, especially in the event of war.
 "1t is made of light steel straps and band- ages. It is made in three sizes and ex- tends from the foot to the body If the ambulance were equipped with a set of these, soldier could have, in a few min- utes after suffering a break of the thigh bone, dressing applied which would enable him to travel to the hospital in comfort and without danger
 '"There it could be more accurately ad- justed and in few days he could be sent to the rear, or to his home, to enjoy the rest which he has so justly earned, while he secures time to complete the cure of the broken bone.

on broken leg, the result of a fall from the roof of a house only three or four days previously, the national guard officers im- mediately anticipated the benefits which the soldiers in the field might expect from such advanced practices. Sprains and fractures have been seriously troublesome in past wars and the possibility of getting wounded soldiers without loss of time into condition to be moved away was regarded of prime importance

 "I have treated in this manner success fully persons over 70 years of age and firm ly believe that there are few cases of sprain which cannot be put on foot im- mediately.
 "One of the greatest marvels of modern treatment is the 'ahbulent' or walking treatment of fractures of the leg. I have recently shown you a man walking about with his leg bones broken between the knee and the ankle. My plan is to put these persons to bed for few days until the swelling has fully developed. Then long stocking is drawn on which comes to the middle of the thigh. I have at hand sev- eral wide plaster bandages and also some

 "I will first mention sprain of the anlxle The old saying, "A sprain is as bad as a break was formerly only too true, as the patient was kept in bed for a Number of days, or weeks, and suffered gerat pain. When he was allowed to get up, with a plaster cast or rubber bandage.on the ankle, walking was very painful, or very difficult for many weeks.
 By the method devised by Dr. V. P. Gibney, of New York, the ankle is so sup- ported that the injured member can be used at once, and the motion made in walking serves as a gentle massage to assist in the absorption of the effused blood.
 'The method of treatment is as follows: About twenty long narrow strips of adhe-

Springfield, III, May l,-Three notable achievements of modern surgery are to be introduced in the hospital field practice of the Illinois National Guard when Governor John R. Tanner, commander-in-chief, sends his well-drilled forces to the front in response to the call of President Mo- Kinley. These methods are of such recent development as not to have come into gen. eral use in ordinary practice and are novel even to most members of the medical pro- fession. When the surgeon of the Second brigade, Lieutenant Colonel George N.
 Kreider, informed his fellow officers of the brigade staff a few days ago that citizen

 .'I begin at the toes and cover the stock ing with a layer of plaster bandage. On this lay a strip of the wood, on each side and front and back, to give it strength, irmness and lightness. Finally, two layers of plaster are laid on and the dressing is allowed to dry. I have now a dressing which is not cumbersome and the patient can soon learn to go about without even a crutch. Sometimes this dressing Is put on next the skin, after having rubbed the leg with vaseline.

nEMArRaIIn TIDAL WATE.

The elections yesterday through
out the United States places the
Democrats in control of the lower
house of Congress, and takes North
Carolina from under negro domino
ton. New York went Republican;
Teddy Roosevelt's war tom-toms were
TOO much for Tammany.
The whole country was interested
in the North Carolina situation, and
the people of South Carolina espe-
cia1ly, prayed earnestly for white
supremacy" for the sister State. The
determination of our brethren and
the success which followed is only
another practical illustration OF what
white men marching in solid phal-
anx will do when the race is endan-
gered.
We rejoice to know that our breth-
rem across the line are in possession
Of the government, and we hope that
the sad experience they have passed
through will teach them to stand to-
eether in the future. The first thing
for them to do is to insure white su
premacy by enactins an election law
similar to that Of South Carolina,
and whenever white man under
takes to appeal to the other race, see
that his efforts are nipped in the
bud. North Carolina shook off her
radical yoke by a majority of $4,000.

An EXPLANATION WANTED.

We have 'endeavored to orlll5 ~
1icbt an explanation from the proper
source, that the taxpayers mlSh1 ui,-
derstand the transaction by winch
nearly $4,000 were taken away
sron the school fund to pay Tor
mans and charts; so far we nave
not succeeded in getting this desired
information or explanation, and we
sill hope that those entrusted with
handling the peoples money will yet
oon5escend to come down from their
lofty perch and give the public the
satisfaction of knowing why 1t was
that such extravaganza was lndulS-
ed in, when the children are actually
suffering for the want OF an ethclenV
school service. If those to whom we
confde the great trust of educating
our children, are not to give an ac-
count of their stewardship, then the
sooner we change the system the
better it will be for those who are 70
soon shoulder the responslolll1! ol
this government.
Here in Clarendon County, where
the people are taxed for the nam
tainance of the public shoots that
the children might at least, get an
educational foundation laid, and
where we are constantly complain
inc of the short term Of free schools
and where many Of our people are
solely dependent upon the free
schools to educate their children
nearly three thousand dollars OF the
,nonev to be collected for the pur-
pose Of running the schools is pledg-
ed for something that could have
been dispensed with, at least, until
we reached q more prosperous condl-
ton.
For the sake of argument let US say
that no swindle has been practlceo
upon the people, and that the maps
and charts recommended by the
State Superintendent Of Education
and also by the head of our county
board, and purchased by the DIS
trict trustees, are worth every cent
paid or 20 be paid, and that
the things are not worthless as
some eminent educators claim; are
We in such a financial condition to
afford the luxury? Does the pur-
chas. of these things in our present
condition display good business Judg-
ment on the part of those entrusted

districts showing what districts did
not, and which did spend this money,

The unexpected happens; while
the whole country was watching
North Carolina with an intense in
terest and expecting every moment
for some act of indiscretion to pre-
cIpitate race war, no one had the
least idea of any trouble in this
State But there was trouble in
Greenwood, near the Edgefeld line,
and bloody race riot was caused by
a wlite Republican named Tolbert,
in which a very estimable gentleman
named Ethridge lost his life and sew
eral others We're wounded. The trou-
ble was about separate box being
placed to receive certificates from
negroes who were not allowed to vote
on account Of not having registra-
ton tickets. T. P. Tolbert, a brother
Of the Republican candidate for Con-
gress, was seriously wounded in the
row.

News From Pine Grove.

The Graded School is moving on
nicely enough. Teachers and pupils
have gone to work in earnest, and
the indications are that we shall have
a very prosperous years work.
The books for the library for the
school have been received and put in
the case, AID are now ready to be
used. They certainly present a nice
appearance in their differently col
ored bindings. We have started off
with one hundred and sixty volumes,
and hope to double the pumber be-
fore the year is out.
The Missionary Rally Day for New
Zion Circuit was held at Pine Grove
on the fifth Sunday. The nicely ar
range program was we'll carried out,
and some good thrusts made for the
cause OF missions. The paper read
by Miss Viola Lavender was espec-
tally good, being full Of food for
thought, and withal an inspiration to
missionary work.
On last Friday evening, there was
at Pine Grove hot supper for the
benefit of the new church. It was a
success in every particular, and those
having the matter in hand certainly
deserve the highest praise. At the
lowest estimate the number present
was two hundred and nearly all par
took of the supper so nicely pre-
pared by the good ladies Of the COM
munity. Despite the large crowd
there was nothing to mar the happi-
ness and general good feeling of those
present. Everybody seemed anxious
to have everybody else have a good
time; consequently it was, indeed, an
enjoyable OCCASION, and those pres
ent will always think Of the time
with pleasure. One of the best feat
ures of the occasion was the selling
of beautiful bouquets by one or two
Of our Christian young ladies. They
had their hearts in the work to make
something for their church; therefore
they did make something, and turn
ed over to the committee six dollars
and thirty five cents as the outcome
of their evenings work. There were
various schemes adoat to gather in
money, and the whole amount real
lied was sixty eight dollars and forty
five cents. And the writer feels safe
in saying that no one regrets spend
ing one cent at Pine Grove on Friday
evening Oct. %, 1898. We need such
occasions more frequently, where
we can all be jovial, free-hearted and
generous, striving to make one an
other happy, and at the same help
ing on the noblest work that has ever
been instituted.
We are expecting to have Prof. c.
B. Smith of Wofford College with US
on Thanksgiving Day to make a lee
ture on Christian Education. Prof.
Smith is we'll known in this section,
having served one year as pastor of
this circuit; and we all are looking
forward with pleasure to his coming.
