A Bright Young Life Ended.

Many hearts in Clarendon and hun
dreds more in Virginia among his KIN
dred will be saddened by the knowled &C
of the death of Master Donald Landrum
Brailsford the adopted son of Col. D.
w. Brailsford which occurred at Paro'
la on Wednesday last of congestion
He was strikingly handsome: bright
and lovable boy, and twined himself
around the hearts Of all who knew him
The military traits and bearing tl:at
come to him by inheritance was so de
cided that ne eagerly donned the c%v:
airy uniform and splendidly mounted
and equipped rode at the head of the
long column of Gallery. The troopers
were so charmed with his fine ridias
and solderly bearing that they elected
him their Mascot and he never failed
them on any occasion. He was eagerly
preparing for the approaching inspec,

death sheathed his miniature sword
and his brave little heart ceased to
Dulsate, -.

A Norfolk Buyer Coming.

The editor of The TIMES has been
doing his utmost to make Manning !;
first class cotton market, with this pur-
pose in view he sought conferences with
buyers. On last Thursday he met MIR.
W. H. Taylor in Sumter, and after a
very pleasant conference, obtained the
promise that he would confer with his
house in Norfolk. Mr.. Taylor repre-
sents one of the largest exporting con-
Germs in the South, and when he prom.
ised to investigate the conditions here,
he began at once to communicate with
the railroad authorities, and he ascer-
tanned that the rate on cotton from
Manning to Norfolk was the same as
from Sumter to Norfolk. If we are
any Judge of human nature, Mr.. Taylor
will establish an agency here
which will put the thinking cap on our
present buyers, and Manning will in a
Short time regain all of the cotton busi.
ness that was lost, because of the lack
of competition. In order that our busi.
ness men and our farmers may under
stand what has taken place we here
with publish the letter we received
from Mr.. Taylor:
Sumter S. c., Sept. 2S, 1901.
Mr.. Louis Applet, Manning, S. c.
DEAR SIR: Since learning the rates
on cotton to Norfolk and getting other
Information from you, touching on the
conditions of your place as a cotton
market have decided to make youl
market visit and arrange to buy cot
ton there. We don't expect to be able
to Get there before the last of this week
as we are busy at other points. 1 thank
YOU for your interest and assure yor
YOUR information had led me to give
YOUR market this attention.
Yours truly,
w. H. TAYLOR.

Horn-Bass Company Of Sumter, the
concern that opened up in that city last
fall. and created such 4 furore by, hav-
ing their shoes shipped to them in SOL
id car load lots, is out in this issue of
The TIMES with half page advertis-
ment that is well worth our readers
while to read carefully. This company
finding their old quarters too small to
accommodate the large business built
up in one year, have leased a larger
store on the opposite side OF the street,
and in it they have packed stock even
larger than the one carried last year.
Horn-Bass Company make it a rule to
permit no goods to be carried over, all
of their goods must be sold, and parties
going to Sumter will do well to go
through their stock. We can say in
all sincerity that nowhere will custo-
mers receive more courteous treatment
and attention. This concern is in Sum-
ter to sell goods and they will sell them
if prices and quality is an inducement
to capture the trade.

FL PAso.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 During President McKinley's visit to El Paso, Tex, sign was displayed claiming that 1t was the largest city in the largest county in the largest congressional dls- trict in the largest State in the union. The President. in his response to the ad- dress of welcome. further complimented it as the cosmopolitan city. Certainly, in considering it's claims to these distinc- tions, the casual reader will be surprised at the facts presented to sustain them. It Is the nearest city in America to foreign frontier, the cities and towns along our northern border being separated from Canada by the lakes and the St. Law renee. But Fl Paso has only the mar row Rio Grande, thousand miles from its mouth. as the boundary between it and the Mexican city of Juarez on it's other bank.
 The county of the same name in which Fl Paso lies Is larger than any State in New England except Maine, while the congressional district in which it lies, comprising eighty counties, is larger than New York and New England combined. As to the State. it has six times the area of New York, and is larger than France by 70,0O0 square miles. From Fl Paso to the eastern boundary of Texas it is over 800 miles by rail in a direct course Vest ward to the Pacific 1t is about the same distance. At no point from Washington to Los Angeles, it is said, were the pres idential party more impressed than at this unique city-

and that 68 more desire a supplemental statement, while only 90 desire to stand on what they have. In view of these desires on the part of the presby- teries the committee recommends that there be prepared "a brief summary of the reformed faith, bearing the same relation to the confession which the shorter catechism bears to the larger catechism."
 The committee goes on to say that this brief summary" is not to be a substitute for the confession, and is not to affect the terms of subscription, but Is ito vindicate and clear the doc trines of the church from all false aspersions and misconceptions, to give better understanding of what is most surely believed among us, and in no sense to impair, but rather to manifest and maintain, the integrity of the re- formed faith.'
 These are high-sounding words, but the debate that will take place in Phil adelphia this week will doubtless go to show that Calvinism is to be modified that the Westminster confession is to be summarized out of it's harsher features-infant damnation being one of them-and that the Northern Pres byterian Church is to be brought into line with Presbyterians in England. The sterner clauses of the Westmin- ster confession belong to less enlight- ened age, and if they can be neatly summarized out all will be peace again in this great church. The debate of this week in Philadelphia will be epochal in the history of Presbyterian ism in this country.

Presbyterian Creed Revision.

The Southern Presbyterians are in session at Little Rock. This general assembly includes 79 presbyteries, and it has much business to transact, but Southern Presbyterians are so con servative that they do not propose to even discuss creed revision. They ac- cept the creed of their fathers, at least at present, without question.
 Not so, however, with the Northern Presbyterians who are convened at Philadelphia. There a historic creed discussion will be carried on this week. The committee on revision, appointed by the last general assembly, has rem dered it's report, showing that a change in creed is desired by 6S presbyteries,

New Knitting Mill.

From the Piedmont Inquirer.
 The knitting mill to which the Inquirer has previously referred has at last by the persistent efforts of some of our en- terprising citizens been secured.
 The old electric light plant will again, after being for years silent, unmolested habitation of bats and creeping things, present busy scene of activity. 1t being the place chosen for the operation of the knitting mill.
 The last of the details to be arranged was the securing of this building, which was the property of Rev. Geo. D. Harris, and that was satisfactorily arranged this morning by Mayor Eubanks, who received a telegram from the party who is behind this movement to close the deal for the electric light plant at once, which has been done.
 The mill will give employment to fifty or probably more operatives and will be quite an addition to the industrial life of the town.
 The mill proposed will run, to begin with. twenty or twenty-five machines, which will give it considerable output

nivisinn of School Funds.

President Councill, in relation to the proposition to both disfranchise his race and take away their schools touchingly says:
 To limit the support of negro education to the taxes paid in the name of the ne- gro, would not be just. any more than 1t would be fair for the master class of Massachusetts to limit the support of education of the. servant class of that State to the taxes contributed by that servant class. I cannot believe that the majority of the white people of Alabama would endorse such a proposition, as it would be unsound both in morals and politics It would result in harm to the State. Natural resources are valuable in proportion to the intellect of the State ! Therefore. I beg that if it seem wise to you to disfranchise your entire negro population that you do not otherwise dis turb it's present status under the laws of Alabama think that you will admit that we have had reasonable peace and good will between the races In this State. while other sections have suffered severe ly from racial conflicts, mobs and riots. When a proposition to curtail support to negro education had been hinted in the Georgia Legislature, the Atlanta News said: What an attitude would we occupy before the world. if we should disfranchise the illiterate and abolish their schools. " The Nashville American, commented on the position taken by the News: "A very indefensible attitude. The caring for the negro rests with the Southern white peo- pie. They must school them and give them employment" This is all I ask.
 It is scarcely credible that class and $ race and color lines will be incorpor- ated in the public school system of the State by the constitutional convention. The logical meaning of such a rule would be that the public education of bankers children or blacksmiths' chill dren shall be confined to what they pay into the treasury for that purpose. Methodist money shall go to Method ists, and so on to the end of the ridicu- lous chapter. Public education was not established to help the helpful, but to give the clements of an education to all to the end that all may become bet ter and more efficient men and women.
 If the principle of division be estab- lished then indeed rich Jefferson County, paying one-seventh of the States taxes, would have full and just right to ask that its school moneys be not diverted in part to weak coun- ties, but that all should be spent where 1t is contributed. But this programme is wholly imaginary. No such plan is seriously entertained by thoughtful men in the convention who are above the demagogy of the moment Ala bama will educate and protect all.

should for efficiency's sake be regarded as the maximum. Tn the schools for negroes the congestion is still greater. th9 average attendance per teacher often reaching seventy-five. The three new schools will relieve the pressure in the white schools to some extent, but there will still be a great demand for school room on the part of negro children.
 The volume prepared by Superin- tendent Phillips shows gains in effi- ciency and in methods fully equal to the gains in attendance. The public schools of the city are it's pride, and as rapidly as resources will permit they should be carried up to the pub lie needs. A new high school building Is greatly needed, but this will per haps have to wait upon the addition of primary schools, which are still more needed. It Is difficult to say just how many children are debarred at present from securing a primary school edu- cation by the want of school room, but the number may conservatively be estimated at one thousand. At least two more school houses should be built next year.

PROSPEROUS cLERuRNE.

From the Edwardsville Standard News.
 The Anniston Gold Mining Company filed in the probate office at this place last Thursday deed to 39O acres of land.
 It is no uncommon thing for lands to change hands and the deeds to be filed for record This is business, and all busi- ness men strictly observe such rules.
 However, this was no ordinary transac- tion, but 1t is an eye-opener and is the beginning of a wonderful development of our hidden wealth.
 When the above gold bearing dirt changed hands s1eo0Oo changed with it, and active operations will soon be com menced to convert the yellow metal into shining eagles.
 Lawyer shackelford spent the day here preparing an abstract, which runs back something over half century when the first will was recorded.
 The Preuitt mine is being run day and night with the most gratifying results. So great is the output that the men can hardly take time to eat and sleep.
 Glowing reports come from the Pine Tucket mine, where modern machinery Is being introduced, and soon the hum of industry will resound throughout that long .1lent mineral belt.
 Other mines at various places are be- ing successfully worked with spade and pick, to enumerate which would consume more space than we can we'll spare this week. Only one-the White-Thra sher-so far as we have been able to ascertain, has been closed down.
 The Sloss Iron and Steel Company, through agents. are looking over the field with the view of investing a half million in our mineral lands.
 Brother J. s. Thrasher displayed in our office one day last week nice nugget of the yellow metal amalgamated from a few pannings at the White-Thrasher mine He informed us that the quartz is not so large, but carrying more gold as it in- creases in depth. It is easy milling ore, and the deepest shaft Is only about forty five feet.
 We extend all good people every where a welcome to come and help develop our resources-to invest in our dirt and share In our riches, which does not consist al- together of gold, but of sofnething that Is believed to be equally as good If not better, the discovery of which wo do not feel at liberty to mention just at this time.

The Poll Tax Proposition.
Metumplka Herald.

From the Wetumpka Herald.
 The consensus of opinion seem to be gravitating toward the poll tax proposi- tion as a solution of the vexed suffrage question. Tt is generally known that a bill will be introduced requiring that a mans poll tax must have been paid twelve months before the election. at which he expects to vote, before he will be eligible to cast his vote If for any reason he has failed for term of years to have paid his poll tax. he must, twelve months before the election. pay up all back taxes and the poll tax for the then ensueing year. The above is a general outline of the crysterlized opinion of the Democracy of the State A somewhat similar law is in force in Georgia, and It's practical working iS most satisfactory to the people of that State. It disfranclsiscs only those who fall to pay their poll tax.

Seven School Years.

The Age-Herald has received from Prof. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the city public schools, handsome volume of perhaps 500 pages, contain ing the school reports for the years 1884 and 1900 inclusive. This volume is history of the public school sys- tenn of this town, replete with facts, and full of information that the future historian will need
 The growth of the schools of this town has been very great. In 1884 the enrolment was 967, of which number 46 were in the high school, 126 in the grammar schools, AT in the primary schools and SIS in the colored schools. In 1900 the enrolment had risen to 4775. The high school had 26S; Powell school, TAI; Henley school, 864; Paul Hayne school, 1929, and the three col pred schools, 1873. Great as the in- crease had been, yet it would have been still greater if there had been more school accommodations, and this has led in the present year to the building of three more school build Ings. When these are completed the school enrolment will perhaps go to 5000 children, against 967 in 1884. This Is certainly a very satisfactory show Ing. Nor will the three new schools De at all sufficient. Many negro chill iren and not few white children will till be excluded on account of the want of accommodation.
