A Connecticut cat is charged With
turning on the gas, with the result that
a whole family nearly came TO an un-
timely end. Ills is new crime tG
lay at the door OF the most unrespon-
sive and naughty of domesticated ami
mails. \ dog is shamefaced thing,
always ready to show penitence for his
sins. Hence the ease with which he
obtains forgiveness. Perhaps it is
owing to his contempt for contrition
that the cat has been accused Of trans
cressions, from breaking choice china
to raiding ice boxes. This self-con-
tanned acquaintance, but not friend
of man, has acted as the scapegoat for
careless servants for innumerable gen
erations. Perhaps it is because he
had such a good time in ancient Egypt
that he is so "cheSty" now.

The Summer School.

The State superintendent o. educ2-
tion Mr.. McMahan. has made public
the following information in regard %
the State summer school for teachers:
The summer school will be held this
year at Converse college. This does not
indicate any lack of appreciation OF The
admirable advantages Winthrop coll
lege has afforded. After much CORES
pondence and many personal lnte:-
views with schoolmen and teachers Wa
have decided, for this year at least, to
give to the people OF another section OF
the State the advantage OF having the
school in their MIDST.
Spartanburg presents many attrac-
tions. It is not only city Of push and
progress but an educational center
with a distinctively literary atmoS-
phere. 1t lies at the foot of the moua.-
tains and it's climate will be cool ahd
bracing, especially inviting to the
teachers coming from the lower pait
of the State. AS it is on the dlrrct
path. those who wish TO spend few
weeks in the mountains, after the close
of the summer school will be able 10 10
so with minimum of railroad travel.
The school will cpen on June 20,h h.

Three hundred Jachers can Ge ac-
commodated in Converse college. The
charge will be S14 for the thir.y day,

over the prospect Of entertaining the
State summer school. and pledge the
reputation of Converse college for D.

could be reasonably desired. A limiied
number of men may obtain board 10

The attendance on the State summer
school has thus far averaged about $50.
This year it should be 400, and durlhs
the two days Of the Teachers Assoc!a-
ton, Immediately preceding the state
school, the attendance should be a.
least five hundred.
Two years ago the summer school,
was an experiment. its success was
doubted by many. Utter failure was
predicted even by some who were re-
ioiced to find their predictions untui-
filled and the school remarkable sue
cess. Now with hundreds Of teachers
over the State having experienced the
advantages and the pleasures 1t anofas
the school can be said to be firmly cs-

unknown. The great quantitf o; fod-

made them veritable iinder boxes and
appeared almost as an explosion. Be-
fore the alarm was sounded the flames
were bursting through the shingle roof
and in a remarkable short time all the
buildings on the Premises were burn
ing. Several negro houses on Sumter
street caught fire. At the same tine
the flames crossed Canal street and the
two county jails. the old and the new,
were ablaze. Both these are Of brick
