Prof. Henry L. Whitfield, the new
State Superintendent of Education ap-
pointed as the successor of Prof Kin
cannon, is proving himself an active
and capable official. If he is a candi-

highly educated, a thoroughly trained
teacher, and brings to the intelligent

Trouble at the County Farm.

News reached here yesterday that
the prisoners on the county farm had
set fire to the prison the night before
and made their escape; also that they
were pursued by the guards and over
taken at McCall's Creek, where two of
them, Ben Rutland, white, and a negro
prisoner sent up from Brookhaven,
were shot. 1t is stated that Rutland
will die. There is also report that
the wounded men we're very cruelty

Senator Wellington, of Maryland, is

Senator Wellington, of Maryland, is
the latest Republican senator to place
himself on record as opposed to the
imperialistic policy Of his party, and
be talks very plainly. He declares
that if Spain before the war had offer
ed the Philippine islands to the United
States for $4,000 or even as a gift, we
would not have accepted them under
any circumstances. The conditions
have not changed now, he says, and if
there would have been no good reason
for taking the islands then there is
none now. "What is to become of the
Republican theory of protection?" he
asks: 81 believe in protecting the work

laborers on earth? How can you main

The announcement of Prentiss Buie
for Chancery Clerk of Lincoln county
will be found in another place in to-
days paper. Mr.. Buie is now serving
his last year as County Treasurer, hav-
ing been elected to that Office in 1895.
He has made conscientious, careful
and painstaking official in that capac-
ity and so far as The LEADER has ever
heard, nothing whatever can be laid to
his charge. Under the Constitution
he is forbidden to succeed himself
as treasurer, and, as it is GUS
tomary to endorse a competent and
faithful official by electing him a Sec
ond time, he offers for the position of
Chancery Clerk, an Office he is in every
way qualified to fill.

CARNEGIE A MODERN MONTE
CRISTO.

New York Journal Of Commerce: Du-
mas was redited with considerable i'm
agination because he invented the Count
of Monte Cristo. who was merely the
beneficiary of treasure trove: it never en-
man to TAKE a telegraph messenger, with
out education or friends, and in half a
century make him dominate the world in
one of it's greatest and oldest industries,
standing like a Colossus with one foot on
the western and one on the eastern hemis-
phere, making the price of iron and steel
in all markets, and possessed of one OF
the two or three greatest fortunes OF
which there is any record. The sale Of
the Carnegie interests to a syndicate
closed the active career of the most WOn-
derfully successful manufacturer who
ever lived. and it was the largest tran
saction involving only a manufacturing
plant and it's accessories that ever oc-
Cured. AS the consideration was some
$500, 900, 900 and Mr.. Carnegie's interest
was about 60. per cent Of it, and he had
a few small outside interests. the esti-
mate that he is worth 5000, 900, 900 has
very much firmer basis than most Of the
estimates of the wealth of men who are
popularity supposed to be worth 5000, 600
or &c. 900. 900, and seem to ordinary NOR
tails passing rich at that. In order to form
some conception of what a private for
tune like that means it is necessary to
obtain a unit of measurement from cities
and states. The aggregate valuation Of
Delaware in the census year was a good
deal below that. The actual. not assessed.

carnegie went for years after this buying
his ore. Mr.. Rockefeller had bought some
individual Minnesota ore properties earlier
and it was not until 1898 that the Rookie
Teller syndicate III the ore region was or
ganized.
IT was three years or more after this
that the Carnegie leased some
OF the largest mines of the Rockefeller
syndicate and acquired an interest in the

ing radical opinion in England, where he
was reputed a dozen years ago to own IS
newspapers but in supplying the United
States primarily. and the world in a Sec
ondary sense, with cheap steel; and a fur
ther clam that he has Upon the gratitude
or the world is that he achieved his enor-
nous succ.ss by directing competition
ana not by trying to suppress it. The
sound business principles by which prac-
tically all the commercial progrcss of the
world has been achieved finds it's most
brilliant vindication in the success of this
man who seems to AVE known nothing
OF speculation, who had no faith in COR
ncrs and for whom tho suppression of
competition and the restriction of pro-
ductlon possessed little attraction, but
who devoted himself with all of his
might, and with a genius as superior to
ordinary ability as the genius of a great
artist. or commander, or poet Is. to maxi
ing d staple article better and cheaper
than nyone else could make it and in
pushing his sales further than any of his
rivals pushed theirs. Thus did the son Of
a POOR Scotch weaver come to be the steel
king of the world, and the possessor OF a
fortune compared with which the wealth
of Ormus and of Ind' sinks into siyniti-
canoe.

QUEER THINGS,

New Orleans Timas-Democrat: "Some

OF the principal dry goods stores of the
retail district. This morning a young
country couple, with bride and groom
written all over them, came in to do some
shopping. The husband was a strapping
fellow, with hands like hams, and he sat
around looking sheepish while his wife
enjoyed herself at the bargain counter

"Miss Beatrix Hoyt," returned with
much seriousness a young thing all fluff
and furbelows.
"Of course" assented the woman who
had first spoken, and the murmur of
assent was general.
If the plucky and skillful holder of the
women's championship for the last three
years were to set the golf fashions, they
would be very simple. Miss Hoyt's cos
tune for the links is almost invariably a
silk blouse free from anything stiff in coll
lar, belt or cuffs; a short brown skirt,
sailor hat and heavy golf shoes. Her hair
is braided and turned up with a brown
ribbon bow, and sunbonnets, wells and big
hats are never called upon to protect her
clear brunette complexion.
For the benefit of the golf girl who sets
more store by conceits of costume, and
whose outfit has come almost to demand
q special car for it's transportation to the
links, the ladies' tailors and the sporting
goods shops are bringing out new coats.
new skirts, new boots, new hats, improv-
ed bags, improved clubs and improved
golf trunks almost daily.
The trunk, to begin at the beginning.
is something to excite amaze. 1t is of
tan ooze leather, and certain examples
of it | Ook like a wandering house to
let, with the amount of room they pro-
vide for every ''mashie," "niblick," and
"putter." ~Tallybooks, shoes. sunbon-
nets and only the golf girl knows what
else have their sections, for the golf girls
faculty for collecting traps is past I'M
Outstanding.
The caddie bag, to take things in their
order, has this season a bigger mouth,
to enable it to disgorge more easily the
particular club wanted. Some of the
newest bags are of a light, thin leather
lined with canvas, but these present no
especial advantages.

is not altogether an improvement on the
old scarlet, which showed up to pictures
que advantage against the background Of
tighter at the knees and less baggy over
the thighs than formerly, his thick stock
ings are of green tartan plaid, and CATERS

The girl herself has changed her colors
to match his. If she sticks to the English
pink" jacket, not sufficiently marked off
perhaps from the garb of the hunting set.
she gives it cuffs and revers of Lincoln
green. But her favorite coat is of light
green serge with scarlet velvet collar n
