SUCCESSFUL lIR Shit.
Santos -Dumont's Shaped
Balloon Launched.

Paris, July Pm. Santos-Du-
mont's cigar-shaped balloon, driven
by motor, had a trial today from ST.
Cloud, across Paris, around the Eifel
tower and back to St. Cloud. The
papers say the trip was quite success
full, and that the balloon ascended and
descended apparently at the will OF
the aeronaut.
NJ. Santos Dumont says he first
sailed five times around the Long
Champs race course, then round the
.Bois de Boulogne and then around the
Eifel tower. He adds that one of the
ropes Of the rudder broke and he had a
marrow escape from colliding with the
tower, so he descended to the Garden
OF the Trocadero to have the damage
repaired and afterwards again round
ed the tower and returned to st.
Cloud. Tomorrow he will make an
official attempt to win the prize of
loo, 600 francs offered by Henry Deusch
Tor a manageable balloon, in the pre-
sence of committee of the Aero club,
which includes Prince Roland Bona
parte, NJ. Deutshc and others. The
aeronaut will start at 6 o'clock in the
morning and go over the same course
as today.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Kiss woman against her will and
she may slap your face, but she won't
hate you.
You can walk all over a woman with
spiked shoes if you tell her that she is
The only one in the world you love
enough to do that to.
About the only difference between a
mraried man and a bachelor is that a
married man has some freedom and
thinks he hasn't while the bachelor
thinks he has some and hasn't.
It takes only one man to set off his
small boys fireworks, but it takes all
the rest of the family to tell him how
TO dc it, and the servants to call him
an idiot behind his back for not doing
it still another way.
The average man VINO howls himself
dumb over the suferings of horses in
hot weather will have his wife spend
three hours packing his trunk in a red
hot attic and act like he was doing
her favor to let her do it.-New
York Press.

The STRIKE ENDED.
No Funds 10 Support Idle Men and
Employment Of Non-Unionists
the Cause.
the Cause.

Newport News. Va, July 1.-THE
strike of the Newport News machin-
lists is at an end. The climax came
suddenly tonight at meeting attended
by practically all the machinists from
the shipvard when by unanimous con-
sent, the men decided to return to
work Monday at the old scale.
The fact that the machinists could
not obtain funds with which to sup
port the idle men, and that the ship
yard management demonstrated its
ability to fill the vacant places are re-
sponsible for the defeat Of the strik-
ers.
This morning committee waited
on Acting Superintendent Hopkins of
the yards, and asked that the men be
allowed to return to work Monday at
the old wges. This request was grant
ed, Mr.. Hopkins informing the COM
mittee. that the men many of whom
have left the city would be given their
old places back and would be allowed
ten days in which 30 return to work.
He told the committee that immediate
action was necessary on the part of the
machinists if they would head off the
new men destined for this place.
This immediate action was taken to
night and telegrams were sent stopping
the shipment of outside machinists to
this city.

EDUCATION IN ALABAMA.
Committee Makes Report to Con-
stitutional Convention.

Montgomery, Ala. July 12.-The
committee on education, Graham, Of
Talladega, chairman. made its report
this morning in the constitutional con-
vention. Section one states that sepa-
rate schools shall be provided for
white and colored children, and no
child Of either rec shall be permitted
to attend the school of the other. In
lieu of the $3.50, 900 general appropria-
tion and the extra one mill tax for
schools, special tax of three mills IS
set aside in perpetuity for the schools.
This yields revenue about the same
as the schools now enjoy, but it will
steadily increase as the taxes increase.
No change is made in the method Of
appointment of university trustees.
Instead Of requiring an equal distrib-
ution of the school fnuds between the
races, 1t requires that the school terms
for the two races shall be of equal
length. A special tax of one mill is
provided to be levied by the counties
on vote of so per cent. of the qualified
electors.
Section two of the report is a new
section, which provides for taking a
school census not oftener than once in
two years, and throwing proper safe
guards around it. Section twelve IS
also new a section, which is a modih-
cation Of the amendmeont offered to
the article on taxation. It provides
for one mill local tax. This provision
has been favorably reported because
OF its merit and in view Of the reduc-
ton on the State limit of taxation to
65 cents. Under it the State and
county rate combined can never exceed
81. 25 per hundred.

NEGRO WAS ENRAGED
BECAUSE MULES BALKED

Douglas. Ca, July 9.-Jake Devoss,
a negro labor on James McKinnon's s
plantation, was WORKING team Of
mules this morning The mules balk-
ed, and Devoss few into rage. Flog-
ging failed to move the mules. The
negro went to his house, got Win
chester rife and shot both mules dead.
Devoss' wife expostulated with him,
and he turned the rife upon her, in
hicting wound which may prove ia
tai. James McKinnon, who owned the
mules, and his brother, Chrles, at
tracted by the shooting, started for the
scene. The now wildly infuriated ne
gro saw them coming and began shoot
ing at them. Charles McKinnon was
instantly killed, and James McKinnon
was SO badly wounded that be Will
probably die. Then Devoss escaped
to the swamps. The county authori-
ties were notified, and started in pur-
suit of the murderer with blood
hounds. He has his rife, but it is
not believed he has much ammuni-
tion. More bloodshed is looked for.

STATE SCHOOL FOR coLoRED
TEACHERS.
The Largest Enrolment and Most Sue
cessful School Yet Held.

The State Summer School for color
ed teachers now in session in Colum-
bia is the most successful ever held in
this State both in point of attendance,
in the interest manifested and IN the
class of work accomplished. The at
tendance is more than double that of
last year, the enrolment being be-
tween 100 and 200. All of the teachers
present are thoroughly interested in
the course of study and have been
working hard. The course in English
by Prof. Edmunds, the principal Of
the school, and the course in History
by Prof. Wallace seem to be the most
popular with the teachers and more
interest has been evinced in the work
in these branches.
- - The work of the session has been
very satisfactory to both the instruct
ors and the teacher-pupils and it is
believed that the teachers have derlv-
ed lasting benefits from the instruc-
tion and training they have received.
On Wednesday of this week Prof.
Edmunds delivered a special lecture,
his subject being .sThe Power Of Ian
guage,'' that was declared by all who
heard him to be the best feature OF
the session.
Sumter County has thirteen teach
ers attending the school which is
greater than the number average from
other counties. Principal ". [. An
drews of the Lincoln Graded School
will go to Yorkville on July 23d where
he will conduct teachers institute
for one month. He will be principal
of the institute and Miss Smoot Of
Darlington will assist him.

of Japan, who is now about 81 or 50
years of age, achieved. while lieu
tenant general in the japanese army,
great distinction in command of the
1st army corps during the war with
China. He was advanced to his high
position on the retirement Of his
friend, Marshal Yamagata. He fought
two of the bloodiest battles with the
Chinse that took place in the course of
the war-Kang-waal, where Gen. Sung
made stout resistance, the japanese
loss being 9 per cent of the total num-
Der of men engaged, and Kaiping,
where the Chinese also fought we'll
and bravely, inhicting heavy losses on
the japanese. As result of Katsura' S
tactics and strategy be commanded all
the roads leading from Manichuria
into China. His concluding achieve
ment was the assault and capture of
Niu-chwang. a few weeks later peace
negotiations put an end to the war.
The Mikado recognized Katsura's ser
vices by making him yiscount.

Good for Port Royal.

Washington. July 11.-Port Roval,
S. c. is to be made one of the prin-
cipal recruiting stations for the United
States navy. Secretary Long has
adopted the report of the board of
naval officers recently appointed to
examine various sites along the Allan
tic coast and to recommend the most
desirable location for the establish
ment of naval rendezvous. The
former naval station at Port Royal is
to be transformed into recruiting
station for "landsmen, and it is to
be conducted on the same liberal scale
that the recruiting station for naval
apprentices is maintained at Newport.
Rhode Island.
Capt. V. L. Cottman, in charge of
the recruiting bureau Of the navy.
says that the Secretary has decided
that Port Royal shall be fitted up as a
irst-class station. All of the old build
ings formerly used in connection with
the Port Royal dry dock will be con-
verted into quarters for recruits. 1t
is also desirable and necessary that a
number of additional buildings shall
be erected. Negotiations are already
pending by which the Government
proposes to acquire ownership of the
entire islands on which the station
is located. The additional space is
required to allow ample accommoda-
tions for quarters, and at the same
time afford plenty Of facilities for
training, exercise and recreation while
the recruits are undergoing prelimi-
nary instructions. Three hundred ap-
prentice boys and landsmen are al
ready located at Port Royal and the
training ship Topeka is there for
practice in practical seamanship.

That typical Southerners seldom
have gout in their lower extremities

sits down he looks about for some OBJ
ject upon which to elevate his feet,
usually resting them on chair or
window sill, if indoors, or the balus-
trade if on the porch or piazza. Now.
the location of gout being simply a
question of specific gravity. it does
not descend to the feet because Of this
habitual elevation. If it should get
there it would be obliged to climb.
Englishmen keep their feet plasterecl
right down on the ground or foor at
all times. as if afraid of letting some
thing get away from them. They
have gout in their feet in consequence,
