- The unknown widow who gave
that gold chain to Epworth orphanage
recently, contributed more than she
knew. The immediate development
on the reading of her letter to the
board of trustees, was significant OF
possible future results OF very great
importance. 1t is likely that many
other Sunday schools throughout the
state will follow the example set by
Trinity Sunday school but whether
this proves true or not, it is not likely
that Mr.. Waddell will ever repeat the
story without reaping practical results
for the orphanage. That chain will
yet prove a great blessing to the donor,
and none the less because in donating
it, she followed the injunction that
would keep from the left hand
knowledge of what the right hand
was doing.

Governors First Pardon.
Governor McSweeney on last Wed
nesday pardoned Whitford Murrell,
who in 1889 was convicted of killing
Preston Yonce in Edgefeld county.
Physicians and prison officials say that
Murrell is sick with consumption.
Most of the jurors and 1900 white
citizens ask for the pardon. Carpen-

says that Murrell was not guilty of the
murder.

Bad For Clemson.
Columbia correspondence News and
Courier: Captain Ezra B. Fuller, of
the Seventh cavalry, who has been
stationed here for sometime in connec-
ton with the formation of the First
and Second regiments, leaves here on
Saturday for Cuba to join his regiment.
It was understood and hoped that
Captain Fuller would be returned as
instructor in military science at Glenn
son college, but it appears that the war
department has changed the orders.
It is a great pity that Clemson college
should lose Captain Fuller, as there Is
no better officer in the service.
Malt Preparations.
News and Courier: There has been
frequent inquiry relative to the legal
right of druggists to sell at retail the
various preparations of malt manufac-
tured by large brewery concerns. Sam
pies of one brand have just been ana.
lived by State Chemist Burney and
found to contain per cent. of alcohol.
The state board has taken no action
about the matter and did not make
the report public. The malt prepara-
tions are not sufficiently inviting in

dorsement of the people of the United
States. When the Filipinos showed a
disposition to cooperate with the
Americans, people in this country felt
pleased, and when they heard that
Dewey had turned over to the Filipi-
nos the arms that were captured at
Cavite arsenal, almost every American
felt an inclination to clap his hands in
applause. But now what. This thing
of reading reports Of the killing of
American soldiers in the Philippines is
anything but pleasant. 1t would be
much nicer if the Americans could
sweep everything before them without
loss. A good patriot cannot wish for
anything else but when we know that
justice is on the other side, how can
we possibly feel fully satisfied with
ourselves

- In the communication of "a Trus-
tee" published elsewhere in this issue,
there are some pretty good points
against the county normal school idea !;
but at the same time the argument
does not affect the justice of the prop
osition that trustees should help to pay
the expenses of teachers in attendance
on these schools. The state board of
education has virtually made such at
tendance compulsory. 1t has fixed
the matter so that, under certain condi-
tions, the teacher must either attend
or run a very serious risk of losing the
right to teach. Therefore, where trus-
tees have a teacher with whom they
are we'll enough satisfied to contract
for further service, and that teacher is
compelled to attend the summer school
in order to preserve the right to teach,
it looks like nothing but right that the
trustees should pay part or all of the
expense. Without being able to fur
nish positive proof, we have no hesita-
ton in saying that in our opinion, the
summer school idea is very poor one.
It is quite likely that many of the
schools will be taught by teachers who
have less capacity to teach than
large per cent. of the students who
will be in attendance. In some cases,
no doubt, the faculties will be thor
oughly competent; but these cases
will probably be the exception rather
than the rule, and if there are any
real benefits to be derived, they will
manifest themselves in other forms
than increased efficiency of the attend
ing teachers. But in the meantime, it
seems that while under no obligation
to do so, the trustees can very well
afford to protect their teachers as far
as possible from the hardships that
NAV be occasioned by unnecessary
compulsory attendance on the summer
schools.

;JENKINS-MILLER.

At the residence of the brides pa
rents in Yorkvile last Wednesday
morning, Miss Bette jenkins was
married to Mr.. J. Y. Miller, of Cas-
tonia. There were present quite a
large number of friends and relatives
of the bride and groom, the parlor OF
the Jenkins residence was tastefully
decorated with flowers, and after the
ceremony as the happy couple was
leaving for the train, friends rained on
them their good wishes in showers OF
rice. The entire wedding party ac-
companied Mr.. and Mrs. Miller to the
train. The following from the Gas
tonia Gazette, of Thursday, very pref
tily tells the whole story:
His friends are all congratulating
Mr.. J. Y. Miller. He is married. And
he is married away yonder ahead OF
the boys who were not accounted hall
so bashful as be. His bride is the
charming and accomplished MISS Bet
tie jenkins, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William w. Jenkins, of 4orkville.
The wedding came off at 7.30 yester-
day morning at the home of the brides
parents. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. B. H. Grier. Mr.. Miller's
party consisting of Misses Mamie Love
and Ida Pursely and Messrs. Will
Warren, ]. Elem Johnson and 5. A.

During the past few days he has mail

DESTROYED BY A TORNADO.
Terrible Fate of Two Flourishipg Wiscon-
sin Towns.


sin Towns.
The daily papers continue to pub
lsh details of terrible tornado that
swept the towns of New Richmond
and Saltwater, Michigan, last Monday
afternoon, and the story is one of the
most shocking of the kind on record.
The total number of killed has not
vet been definitely ascertained. 1t Is
not less than 100 and many aggregate
as many as 500. About the most sat-
isfactory account of the catastrophe
that has yet appeared in the Associa-
ted Press dispatches was sent Sunday
night by a reporter of the St. Paul
Dispatch. Referring to what occurred
at New Richmond he says:
"The storm struck the town full In
the centre, and in 10 minutes awful
destruction had been wrought. The
largest brick blocks crumbled like egg
shells. The lighter frame structures
were whisked away like so much straw,
and many houses We're carried for
blocks and dashed to the earth.
Give hundred buildings, the finest
in the town, were demolished, and
when the storm had passed about the
only structures of any note left stand
ing were the Catholic and Baptist
churches.
"Not a residence was left untouch-
ed aud few people escaped without in
jury.
Lumber yards went up in the
clouds, the huge planks being split
into shingles. The large iron bridge
over Apple river was blown into frag-
ments and the parts distributed along
the banks a half.mile away. Two
large iron safes were caught up and
carried distance of brock.
"Within a space of a few blocks lay
dozens of bodies. Legs and arms were
missing in many cases and one body
was found with the head clipped of
the trunk as though it had been sever
ed with an axe.
"All who sought refuge in cellars es-
caped. Some persons over whom
houses collapsed were entombed. TO
add to the horror of the situation, fires
were started here and there by over
turned stoves and many wounded, un-
able to drag themselves out of the dan
ger, suffered death by burning.
"Gallman Brothers circus was in
New Richmond yesterday, and the
farmers from the surrounding country
with their families had gathered to see
the show. A few minutes before the
storm struck large part of those who
had Just come from the circus, rushed
to brick building close at hand,
where they took refuge. This building
was among those destroyed, and it is
difficult to say how many perished
there.
~. A. Carroll, of Portgage City, was
stopping at the Hotel Nicola. The
guests were at supper when the storm
began and all hands sought the cellar.
So far as known most of those in this
house was saved.
GAS nearly as can be ascertained the
storm first struck at place called Cat
fish Bar, a short distance below Still
water, and laid waste the entire coun-
try from that point to New Richmond" !"

- An Associated Press dispatch says
that the president has decided to order
the Twenty fourth and Twenty-fifth
regiments Of infantry to the Philip
pines. Both of these regiments are
composed exclusively of Negroes, and
it is suggested that Negro soldiers will
probably be able to withstand the tor
rid climate of the Philippines better
than the whites. This is a theory that
is commonly accepted as true; but
there is doubt about its correctness.
However, there is no reason to believe
that this consideration has anything to
do with the presidents action. The
situation requires soldiers - trained
soldiers-and the Twenty fourth and
Twenty. fifth regiments >of infantry
are about all that are left that are
available.

- Senator McLaurin's Wofford COL
lege address has been characterized as
an expansion argument; but careful
reading of the pretty full synopsis pub
lished elsewhere in this issue is calcu.
lated to give the impression that what
ever expansion there is in the address
is merely incidental. The facts pre-
sented, however, point expansionward
with a force that is striking. There is
certainly no Imperialism in the ad-
dress. From the standpoint of practi-
cal politics, perhaps, it would not be
difficult to meet the senator's strongest
points; but if these points are to he
refuted along the line of Christian
duty, then the undertaking will be
of a very different nature.

No Special Tax.
The election in school district No. 8,
Hickory Groye) held last Tuesday for
the purpose of determining whether or
not there should be levied a special
tax of mills for school purposes re-
suited in the defeat of the tax by 19
to 1S. The election was quiet and or
derly, and passed off without any un-
due display of feeling.
Short eb Per Cent.
Mr.. J. Il. B. Jenkins, of Sharon,
was in Yorkville on Wednesday, and
in the course of conversation said
that while he was not in position to
make positive statement on the sub
ject, he was of the opinion that on &C.
count of the failure of seed to germi-
nate and other causes, the cotton crep
acreage now is fully 25 per cent. less
than was originally planted in the
spring.
Death Of Mrs. NJ. Z. Culp.
Mrs. Lois E. Culp, died at the home
of her husband, Mr.. M. E. Culp, near
Pineville, N. c., on the 11th instant,
and was buried at Bethel on last Mon.
day afternoon. Mrs. Culp was the
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L.
Suggs, of Enquirer, and had been MARI
ried only since October 26 last. She
was a young woman of many fine
traits of character, and her early death
is sad blow not only to the devoted
husband and parents but to numerous
friends and acquaintances. At the
time of her death she was aged only
10 years, Z months and 8 days.
Death of Lovable Young Lady.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: Miss
Eva, the 17.year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. D. F. Leslie, of Leslie, died
last Friday afternoon, and Saturday her
remains we're inferred in Neely's Creek
cemetery, the services being conduct
ed by Rev. Oliver Johnson. Miss
Leslie died of peritonitis, the result
it is thought Of injuries she received
from a fall. She was student in
Winthrop college and was esteemed as
one of the brightest young ladies in
that institution. She was remarkably
studious and most lovable young wo-
man as we'll. Her death was great
shock to her parents and relatives and
to the whole community as we'll.
Liquor Seizure at Grover.
Kings Mountain Reformer: On last
Thursday morning Deputy Collector
Loftin went down to Grover and seized
between 900 and 1000 gallons of whis-
ky from Messrs. B. o. Jenkins q Son.
Some irregularity was claimed; but
what it was we have not been able to
learn. The liquor was shipped off the
same evening to Charlotte but what
disposition will be made of it we can
not say. No arrests were made in this
case. If the government holds Mr..
Jenkins responsible for the tax on the
liquor, the amount involved will be
considerable; but if for only the price
above the $l.1O tax it will hardly he
worth contending over.

The last number of the North Da.

arguments in behalf of generous ap-

should appeal strongly to the members

pupils in attendance and about as
many mor in the state who cannot
be admitted for lack of room. The
building is lighted by lamps and
heated by wood stoves and there is no
sewerage condition of affairs which
seemingly should be remedied as soon
as possible. There is no possible
chance for a deaf child to get an edu.

Of the Argus is called to the fact that

the following Scandinavians: Mr.. Ols-

not; Mr.. Serumgard register of. the
land office at Devils Lake; Mr.. Lind

Of the land Office at Bismarck; Col.

and N. 2. Nelson, collector Of customs
for North and South Dakota. In add.
ton to this the senator has appointed
a Scandinavian a postmaster at North
wood, and a Scandinavian as post
master at Hillsboro. Out Of ten land
Office positions in the state Senator
Hansbrough has filed four of them
with Scandinavians-a pretty good
Scandin avian representation. Argus

drawback is the lack Of funds, but
the members Of the committee believe
this question will be easily solved as
there are those who stand ready to
advance the state all money necessary
for the institution Of a plant, which,
it is estimated, will require at least
$4,000 for a starter.
