Thornweli Orphanage.

The Thornwell Orphanage, un-
der the care of the Southern Pres
byterians, is located in Clinton,
LIS. C. 1t is itself a little village of
family cottages in which reside 175
fatherless children, with their
teachers and matrons. Here toe
are the buildings for school and
trade work, for both boys and girls
are thoroughly fitted to take care
for themselves before being sent
out into the world.
;sThese orphans are received from
any State, and without regard to
denominational afinities. The
orphans of Presbyterian parent
age are in the minority. No in
denturing or binding in or out, as
in most homes, is required. Love
and advantage are the all power
full means of discipline.
The support of these children is
provided by "whosoever will" 1t
is wholly voluntary. If any read
er of these lines is led to help
them, he can send his gift to
"Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton,
S. c." Provisions are as useful as
money, where they can be more
easily spared.
At these Thanksgiving times, our
hearts are all alive with gratitude
to God. How car we better show
it than by pltying the fatherless?
DR.. Jacobs, the head of the Or
phanage, will gladly give informa-
tion to any desiring to know more
of this remarkable and, in some
respects, pioneer work for the Or
phans.

Tolbert Talks to Mckinley Who
Studies the Cases

SGu0lOS CuO SSaSOe
st a late hour this afternoon
Mr.. Tolbert,. accompanied by
Solicitor General Richards, of the
department of justice, called at
the white house and had an extend
ed interview with President Nc
Kinley. He related 20 the presid-
ent@the story of his experiences in
South Carolina substantially ss
given above, entering into minute
details Of the trouble on election
day. The president listened
attentively to the recital, but gave
no indication of what action, if
any, might be token. However.
he requested Mr.. Tolbert to see
the Attorney General and make to
him q full statement of the situa-
tion as he viewed it. Returning
to the department of justice, Mr..
Tolbert had an interview with
Attorney General Griggs, who had
just returned to the city from New
Jersey. AT the conclusion Of the
interview the attorney general
said he would have conference
with the president upon the matter
as soon as possible and 1t would
then be determined what, if any,
thing, would be done.
Tonight Attorney General Griggs
spent some time with tle president,
hutso far as could be ascertained
noDdecision of the question present
ed by Mr.. Tolbert was reached.
The department of justice has
taken steps to obtain official in
formation bearing upoa theltrouble
! in South Carolina, and it is said
to be entlrly unlikely that, in the
absence of such information, the
president would take any action
in the matter. In addition, how
eyer, to the effort of the depart
ment TO secure definite and official
information concerning Tuesdays
riotipg, steps have been taken to
afford ample protection to the
elder To.bert, who is collector of
customs at the port of Charleston.

Phoenix Affair to be 1nvesti-
gated.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 12.-
At the instance of the President
Attorney General ,Griggs has
directed Marshal Melton and
District Attorney Lathrop to
proceed atonce to Greenwood coun-
ty and report if the conditions
there are such as to put in jeopardy
the lives of Federal officials and
citizens, and to interfere with the
proper administration of the
business of the United States
government. This action by the
department. of justice is the result
of a long conference at the white
house late this afternoon between
the president, "Boss" Webster,
Deas, Tolbert and Assistant At
torney Richards, who represented
the department of justice.
The conference lasted nearly
two hours, during which the out
break at Phoenix was reviewed in
minute detail, with such comment
as the subject inspired. The
president was deeply interested at
the gravity of the situation, ..and
added it was his duty to ascertain
the facts in the case and do every
thing in his power to protect the
Federal officials in the discharge
of their duties, and ST the same
time to find out whether there
exists republican form of govern
ment, which the. constitution
guarantees to the citizens of the
United States. In the absence of
any formal protest from Governor
Ellerbe, who is the legal avenue
through which, appeals for ex-
ecutive action should be made, the
administration hesitates to take
summary action. On the other
hand, it is claimed that a federal
officer is prevented from perform
ing his legal dutiea as collector of
customs at Charlie ston, which is
sufficient to justify Intervention
on the part of the government. 1t
is understood that no action will
be taken by the department of
justice until the report of Marshal
Melton and District Attorney
Lathrop is received. In the
meantime Messrs Webster, IDEAS
and Tolbert will remain here to
await such adjustment Of the
difficulty as the attorney general
may recommend.

"Ihe Vintage. 1"

"The Vintage" is about the first lit
erary fruit of the late Greek WAR This
romance, by E. F. Benson, began to
appear in one of the prominent week
lies when the interest in Hellenic af-
fairs was still the most pronounced.
The plot of the story is interviewer
with the Greek war fer Independence.
The ''Vintage"Fis the first Of the mary
patriotic clubs that wrought upon the
Greeks desire for freedom from Tur-
kish oppression. Nicholas V.dG1is, one
of the patriotic leaders, selects his
nephew, NJ s, to carry out some of the
most difficult missions for the cause CT
freedom. The added interest of love
is given to his enterprise by an &C
quaintance with a beautiful Greek girl
who had been stolen in babyhood by
the Turks. War gathers and breaks
and the Greek arms are victorious; the
Turks gather at Tripol, and among
them is the owner Of the Greek mai
den. who, with his other slaves, is with
him. Tripoli, after starvation and suf-
fering, is reduced, and amid carnage
and adventure the stolen Greek girl is
rescued and the book ends happily
in freedom for her and for Greece. The
story is rapid in it's action and is en-
tertaining from first to last. The de-
mand for such stories Of adventure can
hardly be on the decrease, since the law
of supply and demand governs authors
ard publishers as well as manufacture
ers and merchants.

"Water Color Painting"

water Color Painting, a Book of
Elementary Instruction for Beginners
and Amateurs" by Grace Barton AL
len, expresses in it's name it's authors
purpose.
1t is easier to embody in a text
book instructions on nearly any other
subject than painting, and the infor-
nation that a writer can convey to a
student is restricted to a very small
field, and this has more to do with
materials and their care than with
technique or spirit. What it is possible
to convey to the reader absolutely
ignorant of color work the author of
the present little volume has set down
with considerable clearness, but part
of the book attempts to teach what
few but geniuses may learn without a
teacher.
The book is valuable for it's lists of
colOrs and other materials. The COM
position of the water colors on the
market is given and they are divided
into lists of permanent, moderately
permanent and fugitive colors. The
palette of twenty-six colors, suggested
as sufficient for the beginner, seems to
us entirely too extensive. The chapter
that treats Of the care of materials will
prove of value to pupils more advanced
in the pursuit. of art than those for
whom the book is intended

Practical Botany.

"a Laboratory Manual in Practical
Botany" is by Charles H. Clark. The
course Of botanical study here outlined
is designed to give the student a gen.
eral view of the subject and at the
same time to lay a foundation upon
which more advanced studies may be
built. The central object is the study
of the life histories Of plants; their
modes Of reproduction, manner of life,
etc. The book Is a laboratory manual,
yet the practical studies are arranged
in brief outline classification of plants
to give the pupil definite idea Of the
successive steps followed by nature in
the development of the plant life Of
the earth. 1t follows the method recon-
mended for secondary schools by the
committee Of ten. and already applied
in leading public and private schools.

A history of book auctions in this
city, told with fullness and detail
would easily fill large volume. Some
thing more than bare facts Of titles,
dates and prices could well go into
such a record. Not the least curious
part Of it would be the history of In
dividual books that have turned up
again and again in the auction ROOM
Scores of cases could be cited in which
would be seen the changes which
fashion has wrought in the demand
and consequently in the prices. 1t
would often be found that enormous adj
vances have occurred and as often that
surprising declines have taken place.
1t is certain that the Greek and Latin
classics in Elzevir and Aldine prints
would show great fallings off. Equally
true is it that Americans would show
enormous advances.
The most remarkable Americana Ii
brary ever sold in this country was
that Of George Brinley. which was
disposed of in five parts, four of which
were sold in New York, and one. in
Boston. The total for the five was
$127. 13S. The next highest total was
obtained for the Brayton Ives collec-
ton. which fetched 1924, 235. Mr.. Ives
is the well known banker of New York
and president Of the stock exchange.
But it is to be said for Mr.. Ives col
lection that the average for single
works was much higher than the Brin-
lev. being $107.75. as against s13.3S. In
fact, the Ives average is the highest
average any collection ever secured at
auction in New York. Mr.. Ives library
therefore in uniform choiceness might
be called the finest ever sold here.
But it may be doubted if his col
lection, were 1t now to be sold again
G,,cf IN, e.I,o
the same advance that the Brinley
collection would show. Competent
judges have estimated that the Brin-
ley books. were they sold today. would
bring somewhere near $3.50, 900. But
this would still leave the average main
tanned by Mr.. Ives collection intact.
The Brinley books at s127,133 yielded
a very large profit on their original
ccst. Mr.. Brinley was shrewd Yam
kee. who bought in cheap markets. He
collected his books before the value of
Americans lad been foreseen by many.
Curious stories have been told Of his
drives about New England to old farm
houses, where he obtained permission
to see any old books that might be
stored in chests and barrels, in barns
and garrets, and how for small sums
of money. or by exchange for modern
popular authors, he secured treasures
literally worth their weight in gold.
Another notable collector Of America
ma was Mr.. Menzies, whose book in 1876
brought $4S.1C5. By occupation Mr.. Men
zies was a lumber merchant. One day
at his house q customer called and was
kept waiting in the parlor. He found
on the table Mr.. Menzies' most recent
rurchases-a scarce treasure in fault
less condition. the tips Of the leaves
still uncut. His customer took it up
and finding the uncut leaves an OBJ
struction proceeded to tear them open
with his forefnger with the result that
ragged edges were produced and the
value of the book seriously impaired.
