and girls received diplomas in the pub
lie schools yesterday as evidence that
they had satisfactorily completed their
work in the eighth grade, and received
promotion to the high school. At all

The long vacation begins today. Most
of the pupils will go back to their
buildings for promotion cards and to
say goodbye, but the schools practi-
cally closed yesterday. Nearly all the
children will begin their playtime with
joyful anticipation, but they will be
just as glad to return next September
as they are to leave now.
Below will be found brief resumes
of the closing exercises. starting with

5000 by the board of ordnance
to experiment with his flying machine
for war purposes, made his first test al
Quantico, Va, last Friday. Prof.
Langley, With the amount of money
placed at his disposal, built new and
larger machine than that with which
be experimental two years ago. The
machine was launched from the top OF
a house-boat anchored in broad
sweep of the Potomac, about three.
fourths of mile from the island owned
by the Quantico Rod and Gun club.
The result was not so successful as
were Prof. Langley's former expert
ments with the smaller machine. The
machine scared aloft to height OF
500 feet; but descended after hori.
zontal flight of 800 feet. His former
machine, which was propelled by a
small steam engine, few three.quarters
of a mile and only descended when
the steam was exhausted. 1t was un.
derstood that Prof. Langley was to
overcome the limited power capacity
of the former machine by the use of
condensing engine which could repeat.
edly utilize the condensed steam from
the boiler.

Charged With: Robbing the Mails.

Columbia State, Tuesday,: News
was received in the city last night thai
the former postmaster at RidgeWay
had been arrested on the charge ot
robbing the mails. The ex-postmastel
is J. C. P. Williams, brother of Sheriff
Williams, of Kershaw, and a man
well.known in Fairfield county. 1t is
stated that the arrest was made upon
warrants sworn out before Judge Braw'
ley at the United States court al
Greenville. 1t was stipulated that he
could be released on $4,000 bond
but Williams was unable to secure bail
in such a large amount. The alleged
crime is that of abstracting money
from letters in the mail. The class OF
funds upon which inroads were made
is pension money. 1t is said that Will
liams would abstract the money from
letters and forge the signature OF the
party to whom the money was dlrec'
ted. 1t is reported that white people;
and Negroes alike were thus deprived
of their pension money. One lndivid'
ual theft is said to have amounted TO
over $500, while the supposed shortage
will aggregate $4,000. 1t seems that
when Williams heard of the warrant
being issued, he left, but was arrested
near Camden, whittier he had gone.
He was placed in Kershaw county
Jail yesterday.

Work Of the Pickpockets.

Charleston Sunday News: Further
reports regarding the work of the pick
pockets continue to come in. At
late hour last night a young Charles
tonian came into The News and Cou-
rier Office with a dreary smile and
an advertisement. He had lost 1852
and did not know where to find it.
Probably he never will. Some bastard
had the meanness to steal some of the
diamonds of Miss Minnie Agatha
Wright, honoring maid of honor for
the South Carolina Division of Veter-
ans. While South Carolinians were
vieing with each other in deferential
courtesies to this specially honored
guest this miserable thief was stealing.
A detective has the case in charge,
and it is sincerely hoped that this par
ticular miscreant will be captured.
Colonel Robert Aldrich was another
victim of these sleek gentlemen. He
was relieved of $50, $50 check and
some valuable papers. Payment OF
the check was at once stopped, but
perhaps the thief is moving yet. Judge
Walsh of Sumter, was fined SO by one
ofthese lawless itinerants. Mr.. Rhame,
of Sumter, was also relieved of so much
cash that his fellow sufferer, Judge
Walsh, had to loan him some of bis
remaining ducats to pay his travelling
expenses. Mr.. Charles B. Simonton,
of Nashville, was another sufferer.
Some of these thieves have been cap
tured, and it is hoped that the wretch
who stole from our honored guest,
Miss Wright, is among this number.
"Judge" Reed has been on duty at the
Charleston Hotel as a special officer
during Reunion week, and says he
has never seen a more orderly crowd
of people in his life.

The atnrkrille enquirer.
YORKVILLE, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, MAY II, 1899,

- In speaking last winter of the
approaching Confederate reunion, THE
ENQUIRER took occasion to say the
kindest things it knew how to say
about the hospitality of Charleston.
1t was prompted in what it said by in
formation that was based on facts. OF
course we were aware that Charleston
and Charlestonians are not perfect in
the estimation of the whole world or
in the estimation of the whole state.
They disagree with other people and
other people disagree with them.
Certainly. But on the question of hos
pitality, taken as a whole, Charleston
has nothing to learn from any city in
the United States. There was good
reason to fear that the resources of the
old city might be overtaxed last week,
for there was tremendous crowd to
provide for and the test was some
thing extraordinary. But nothing OF
the kind occurred. If it did occur
nobody will ever know the difference,
and that will make it all the same.
All that was promised was fulfilled,
and more. Charleston has fairly
proved her claim to the kindest feel
ipgs of the old Confederacy, and espe-
cially of the state of South Carolina,
and every individual who contributed
in anyway to the success of the great
occasion last week is entitled to feel
ings of the liveliest qualification.

ally spiced with trials and disappoint-
ments, and maybe he constantly feels
that the sword of Damocles is hang
ing above his head, ready to drop at
the slightest jar but there are numer
GUS reasons why he would not be will
ing to swap his job for "a mule and a
little farm" We do not know the Mr..
Crowder referred to; but assume that
he is some local business man of com.
paratively large affairs. If this be
correct, then Mr.. Crowder would not
think of making an exchange for the
farm and mule, because among other
things his business experience has al.
ready taught him that the corr crop
might fail, cotton might drop to three
cents pound or the mule might die.
No, to consider earthly contentment,
is all very pleasant; but the consum-
nation is something that exists only
in the imagination of the dreamer.
AS practical proposition, it is equally
beyond the reach of Vanderbilts's mil.
lions or of the labors of the one mule
farmer.

custom to hold jubilees of the church
every 25 years, and at one time these
were the occasion for the gathering of
a vast concourse at Rome to receive
the special dispensations and indul-
gencies allowed during jubilee years.
1t is said, however, by the highest
church authorities here, that the jubi-
lee next year will be quite generally
celebrated throughout the world, thus
giving it a more universal aspect, in
stead of being centered at Rome,
though doubtless it will lead to many
notable pilgrimages to Rome, and
the gathering there of distinguished
churchmen. The jubilee next year is
considered more important than that
held every 25 years, as it usherslin a
a new century and comes at time
when Pope Leo is old and very feeble,
his 80 years having been completed in
March.
