Mr. O'Donnell asked the president
questions concerning the bylaws and
read at length from a copy of the laws
printed in, 1885 He finally was con-
WINGED that his laws were too ancient
to be convincing and he changed the
books. He objected to the new rule of
the board compelling applicants for
positions as teachers to undergo a
physical examination and also an ex-
animation i'm music.

Alleging that Miss Annie e. c. Nc

tend her appointment as principal OF
school No. > to a full term, instead of

best known to the members Of the
Committee on Teachers, Miss McClos-
key was put upon probation. Through
Mr. Adair the teacher informed the
board that there were damaging re-
ports being circulated about her and
that she desired The charges against
her TO be made public.
There was a heated discussion of the
subject, in which Mr.. Adair. who was
Miss McCloskey's counsel was the tar

Adair was proof against insults and
kept cool amidst the confusion. and
continued the fight until the matter

At the conclusion of the argument

Ehrbardt PeODIe in Luck.

EuRmARDr. July 15.-They have an
artesian well here that beats them all.
Last Wednesday the workmen struck
water at depth of 541 feet. They were
using three inch drill. So soon as they
could get the drill out and the water
cleared itself, they found they had struck
a flow of something over 200 gallons per
minute, and it will flow above the ground
through piping more than forty feet high.
This water is as clear as crystal and OF a
delightful flavor. Bamberg has been
stvled the "Artesian City," but she will
have to "take in her sign" now, for her
little sister, Ehrhardt, gets more water
out of her well through three inch pipe
than Bamberg gets through her four inch
pipe and her other two private flowing
wells combined. They are simply IN luck,
though their efficient Intendant, Capt. j.
NJ. Dannelly, says his good old grand
mother use to tell him that good luck was
good management, and bad luck was bad
management, and Judging from the way
the Captain keeps things hustling around
him, he must have needed his grand
mothers teaching. -
These Ehrhardt people are all hustlers
and believe in doing nothing by halves.
1t would have been good time for any
visiting X. of p to have been with Ehr-
hardt lodge, No. %, X. of P. last Wednes-
day night and seen them confer the first
and third degrees. They have only a
small lodge of 81 members, but 1S of them
were on hand and saw to it that that
mysterious goat was in good shape for
strangers. G. W. !. Loadholt, j. W. Jen-
ney, and Esquire ]. R. Law mounted him,
filled with all the misgivings that belong

Red Men Love to Pose In GrOtesque
Attire Before the Camera.
AS evidence of the extent which
the ornamental precedes the useful Ex-
plorer Humboldt noted the fact that
the Orinoco Indians in fair weather
struttcd about attircd in all the finery
they were able to procure, their faces
painted gaudily. their heads decked
with feathers, their whole aim being to
strike astonishmcnt to the beholder
and no regard whatever had for COM
fort.
When the weather was lad, Hum
boldt found that the same men would
dofr their clothing and carry it about to
save it for display on future sunny
days.
The same traits are seen today IN the
North American Indians. little modified
by many years Of intermingling with
civilization.
That part of Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, running from Second TO
Sixth street is the favorite promenade
Of visiting Indians. Portions of Sec
ond and Third streets, running off the
avenue. are filled with boarding houses
especially patronized by the redskins
and especially avoided by the whites in
consequence.
A number Of photographers in the vi
cinity are the chief attractions Ct this
neighborhood for the aborigincs. Moth
ing so delights them as to strut grave!y
from their boarding houses to these art
galleries to sit for solemn pictures at
Uncle Sans expense. the bill being
charged in with necessaries incidental
to visit to the great father.
To deprive the visiting Indian OF the
privilege to sit for his photograph in
full paint and feathers and a grotesqur
mixture of cheap ready made garments
with blankets and bear claws would be
the greatest hardship possible to tlit
chieftainS.
Showing the same disposition Hum
boldt noted. the visitors get themselves
up more barbarously the closer they
get to civiliZation.-St. Louis Republic.

key and a small memorandum book, which
were of no value to the robbcr.
No one in the house was awakened,
and the burglary was not discovered until

EHRHARDT, s. c., July ID, 1901.

EuRHARDT, S. c., July ID, 1901.
Ep1ToR THE BAMBERG HERALD: In
asmuch rs Mr.. J. A. Chassereau, one Of
the town council at Ehrhardt, stated in a
meeting of said council that the Meth
odists had held 4 caucus for the purpose
of having the artesian we'll located near
the Methodist parsonage in order to en-
hance the value of church property, and
he has intimated as much in public print;
and whereas his reference was to a com
mittee appointed by the quarterly con-
ference of the Methodist church for the
purpose of looking after the repairs of
the parsonage yard and lot, which COM
mittee met on the Goth of June, the same
day, according to the minutes of the
town council, on which the site for the
artcsian well was selected; therefore, we,
the Committee, thus falsely accused, deem
it proper and necessary to set ourselves
straight before the public.
In the beginning we wish to emphati-
cally deny the charge in toto. This COM
mittee, as is shown by the minutes of the
quarterly conference, was appointed on
the 11th of May, before, we are told,
Ehrhardt had contracted for well to be
bored. The chairman of the committee
called u meeting to be held ut the Meth
oiist parsonage on the 18th of June.
Two-of the committee only came to the
meeting and, as a majority was necessary
fer the transaction of business, nothin e
was done, and Thursday, the Goth of
June, was appointed by the chairman for
another meeting. On that date 4 ma
jority were present, and partly transacted
the business assigned them, and never
for one moment discussed, or even en-
tertained the idea of trying to influence
the town council, or any person what
soever, to have the artesian we'll located
near the parsonage.
Our pastor, Brother MckiSSick, eX-
| pressed to the members of the committee
his regrets that the well was going to be
put so near the parsonage as the centre
| of the cross streets where stake had
been driven, and at which place it was
said the well would be bored. His regrets
were based on the suppoSition that there
would be much loafing around the well,
and that profane laguage would be IN
dulged in to the annoyance Of himself
| and family. We conSoled him, somewhat,
with the thought that if no shelter was
placed over the well, around it would he
too hot in summer and too cold in winter
for much loafng There the matter was
dropped and nothing more said about it
in our meeting
Now, since Mr.. Chasscreau has Sc
rashlv accused the Methodist church
through this committee, we demand the
proof of his accusation. We defy him to
prove that the Methodist church. by fail
or unfair means. tried to influence the
location of the well near the parsonage
or any where else.
Until he does prove it he stands brand
ed as falsi1ier and slanderer, and the
public will he the judge whether the rot.
tenneSs is in the Methodist church or III
MIR. Chassercau And for the very reason
that there are so many men like MIR
Chasscreau in the world, the Methodist
church should not "go out of business.

A RARE VOLUME BY PENN.
Only known Copy IL Owned ny
Quakers In Philadelphia.

QuakerB In pnlluuelpnia.
The only known copy Of Penn's issue
Of Magma Charta." published in 1851
by the Bradford Press, is the property
of the Meeting For Sufferings. a repre-
sentative body of the Friends yearly
meeting in Philadelphia. Its title is
1.-THE Excellent Privilege Of Liberty
and Propriety; Being the Birthright Of
the Freeborn Subjects Of England" ."
The copy is not generally open to the
public.
The peculiar significance Of this book
is that a half dozen years after Penn
founded his colony he wished to have
the colonists keenly realize that they
would have to stand for their rights in
the new country as we'll as the old.
where they had been SO cruelty perse-
cuted. He wrote this book in order that
they might be informed on the consti-
tuition of their local government and
know what were the legal bases OF
their rights as citizens.
Curiously enough the only proof
there is that this work was William
PENIS is the statement made by Chief
Justice David Lloyd in 172S. a great
Quaker leader who was Penn's attor-
ney general at the time the book was
issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also
at that time an intimate friend Of Will
liam Penn and consequently knew
whereof he spoke.
The volume was reproduced in fac
smile by the Philobiblon club in 1891
for 4 limited number Of subscribers.
The original volume, however, must al
ways remain the rare thing that it is,
one Of the best expressions Of liberty
under law that the mind Of the great
founder could conceive.-Philadelphia
