CHAPTER XXI.

Pap Sampson, older by four years,
trif1e grayer perhaps, but as active and
alert rs ever, sat Oh fence at the side
OF the road leading into Bccketts Min
from the south. His attitude was such
as to denote that he was absorbed In
earnest thought, which he was. He
was recalling scenes and events Of past
days and was SO lost to the present as
to be totally oblivious Of everything
about him. SO unconscious of his sur
roundings was he that he was not even
aware Of the approach Of two men,
dusty and travel stained, who wearily
plodded their way along the hard,
white road.
Pap's thoughts were Of Sim Banks

We have very satisfactory results
from running around all our crops, as

subsoil plow, says Southern Cultivator
This thoroughly breaks the ground be-
low the crops before the roots have
branched out enough to be injured. 1t
also causes the rainwater to collect
under the plants where it is most
needed. This Is the only deep plowing
we do in cultivating. Flush out the
middlcs with harrow or scrape. The
oftener this Is done the more rapid the
growth Of the crops.

The schley Case.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Lieut. B. W.
Wells, Jr., who was the flag lieutenant
of Admiral Schley while the latter
was in command of the flying squad
ron, occupied practically the entire
time of the Schley court of inquiry
today. On his direct examination he
continued his narrative of the Cuban
campaign. Lieut.. Wells was under
ross-examination for about two and a
half hours, largely at the hands of
Mr.. Hanna, whose questions were di-
rected mainly to the dispatches receiv-
ed and sent by Admiral Schley then
Commodore Schley Lieut.. Wells was
still on the stand when the court ad-
journed for the day, and will continue
his testimony tomorrow.

City Board of Education Meets.

The City Board of Education met
on the 18th inst, to consider school
matters; and especially the condition
of the crowded rooms of the 1st, End,
3rd, and 4th grades Of the Washington
Street School. These grades are SO
crowded Chat it is impossible for the
teacher to give these pupils the drill
that they need so much. To give these
pupils an opportunity Of having
individual drill, and at the same time
with view toward the relief of the
crowded condition lin the primary
grades, the City Board of Education
has provided for teacher whose duty
twill be to have under her care the
special and individual training of these
papils ofethe first four grades.
THE board has, "a also, employed |a'
teacher for the Factory School, now in
chsrge OF Mrs. Crane. There are some
pupils in every grade who are some
whatsteo far advanced for the next
lower grade and yet they are not fully
prepared for the work of the grade in
which they have been placed. This
lack Of preparation may extend only
to one or two branches. Especially
is this the case in the primary grades.

Wedgefeld, Oct. 22.-The oyster

be quite a success.
Our townsfolk are thoroughly arous-
ed over the recent burnings and at
tempts around here. \ reward of $50
is offered for the arrest of the guilty
party that burned the cotton house OF
Mr., J. B. Crouch a week ago. The
Governor has also been petitioned to
offer reward for the apprehension OF
the incendiary. 1t will be good

Sam P. Jones, Evangelist-orator, Opera
House, Nov. lst.

No doubt the leading attraction at
the Opera House this season will be
the appearance of Rev. Sam P. Jones,
Friday, Nov. 1st, 1901, at $50 p. m.
From Maine to Mexico, from Carolina
to California there is but one Sam
Jones. No speaker who has ever come
to Sumter draws the crowd Or pleases
his hearers like he does. He is great
man and great in certain way which
others cannot initiate. Solomon said
there was nothing new under the sun,
but Solomon in all his glory never saw
or heard Sam Jones. He furnishes in
one lecture more fun than two come
dians: more philosophy than four
universities, more gospel than half
dozen theological seminaries, and
almost as much common sense as the
mother of big family of country boys.
The lecture will be under the
auspices of the Magnolia Street NJ. E.
Church, South. All railroads running
to Sumter will sell round-trip tickets
at reduced rates. Tickets for the lee
ture will be sold at IS, 80, 80 and %
cents. Seats may be reserved in ad-
vance at DeLorme's Drug Store or by

czoIgosz confesses His Sins.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 22.-Leon F.
Czolgosz, the assassin Of President
Mckinley, who is awaiting electrocu-
ton in the prison here during the
week commencing next Monday, fully
realizing that his death is now ques-
tion of few days, has asked for spir-
itual consolation, and this afternoon
received visit from Rev. 7. Sad
inski, Polish priest Of the Roman
Catholic church.
Czolgosz's requset for priest Of his
own. nationality was made known to
Warden Mead in the morning. Father
Szadinski, who is pastor Of ST. Stanis-
-laus church, Rochester, was in this
city attending the forty hours devo-
tons Of st. Alphonsus church, and was
asked to visit the prisoner. This at
ternoon he went to the prison and re-
mained there about. an hour. Upon
leaving me was seen by representative
of the Associated Press but refused to
be interviewed.
Father Szandinski left for Rochester
this evening. He declined to say if he
would return to Auburn on or before
next Monday. It is learned that
Czolgosz was baptised in the Catholic
church but never received his first
communion nor was confirmed in that
church.
He renounced the Catholic church
when he embraced anarchy, and it is
said he will make formal statement
before his electrocntion that he now
renounceS anarchiSn.
Warren Mead and Superintendent

Stateburg, S. c., Oct. IA, 1901.
To the Watchman and Southron:
Four different attempts have been
made to burn houses and barns in the
last ten days, near Wedgefeld, two Of
which was successful: colored man
named VIM. Murray had his house
burned, two others had their barns
and stables set, but fortunately discov-
cred it in time to extinguish the flames
and on Saturday morning, just before
day, Mr.. J. B. Crouch had his cotton
house burned with about one bale of
cotton in it and a new buggy that was
under the adjoining she'd. The white
people Sand the respectable celored peo-
pie should hold q meeting and do some
thing aobut it at once.
Not long since two ladies' were out
driving when they met two @colored
women IN a buggy, iHho met them face
to face. refusing to give the road and
then used, very insulting language.
The ladies did not know them, but
with the help Of some colored men, the
one who had used the insulting Ian
guage was traced up and found to be
a mulatto woman named Victoria
James who lives near Mr.. Remberts'
store. A warrant was sworn out for
her, and although identified by the
young lady, Victoria 'swore to God"
that it was not her, and then admitted
to the trial justice that it was. and
then had the brazen impudence to ask
the young lady to lend her the money
to pay the fine imposed upon her.
Cotton is turning out pretty short
and is coming in late. ". J. r.

"The Case of Miss Washington. >
Atlanta Constitution.

The good people around Boston are
greatly disturbed lest recent events at
Wellesley college should be unduly
magnifed. The fact that the daugh-.
ter of Booker Washington should have
been forced to find accommodation out
side the grounds and had been taken
in by trong-mindea teacher with
theory to maintain, found it's wayinto
the press, and then there was dis
play Of authority.
As may be imagined, the spontaneity
of the young lady pupils has been sub.
iected to the restraint of reserve, and
the professor now talks for the col
lege instead Of the pppil. The Boston
Globeleads in:the work of correction,
under, the headlines of "No Color
Line is Drawn-We Wellesley Girls Have
Made. No Distinciton-Booker T..
Washington's Daughter Well Received
at the College,
Then the statement is made that
"The authorities of Wellesley college
deny that the color line has been
drawn by some of the students against
Miss Portia Washington. The story,
it is said, originated in the. fact that
Miss Washington could not secure ac-
commodations within the college
yard
This plea of want of accommodation
is an old ruse invented by the hotels
years ago, and serves college just as
we'll. 1t is admitted by The Globe
that
..When it was first known that Miss
Washington was to enter the college
one or two of the girls from the south
who roomed in the hall where she was
expected to live, made some talk, but
it did not amount to anything. When
Miss Washington father sent word
after the college opened that she would
arrive September 80 it was found
that there was no accommodation for
her in the college yard. and room
was secured for her in the house of
Mr.. Brio in the village"
1t is innocently added that Miss
Conan, Miss Bates all professors
in the college, live directly opposite -
How considerate. And then:
Miss WASHINGTON enters the college
as special student, taking piano,
theory and modern language, and as
special student, she is not actually en-
titled to rooms in the college yard.
Really. does it not appear that any
excuse is better than none?"

HARMONY PREsBYTERY.

Harmony Presbytery convened at its
fall meeting in Brick Church on

organized by the election of the Rev.
Frank Wardlaw. OF Indiantown, as
moderator, and the Rev. W. W. Sad
Ter, of Lynchburg, Beulah and Lake
CITY, as residing clerk. After q ses-
sion of three days it adjourned to meet
in the spring at the Beulah Church.

tainment elegant and generous and the
exercises pleasant and profitable. The
old, historic church had lately under
gone a thorough renovation which set.

.thesmeeSing which though
peculiarly q congregational matter
apart from the PEesbyteryS maybe
mentioned without limp and it
is hoped without 'impeFtiaenee. This
was the gift by the congregation Of a
most elegant walking cane to- Col.
Muldrow, a deacon of the church, as
the expression of their appreciation
of special services rendered by him.
This act was performed in the ses-
sion house with none present but the
congregation and the recipient but
we are told that the transaction was
most graceful and pleasing. Mention
is made of this as an example worthy
of imitation. It is not unusual for
pastors to receive these tokens of ap-
probation but seldom that other Off
GERS of the church are gratifed in like
manner.
There is nothing invidious in these
special marks of appreciation but it is
generally found that those who might
be sentitive are most forward to recog-
inze any eminent service that may be
rendered by their co-workers.
So pleased and grateful was Presby
tery for all the kindness shown them
by the church and community that
they might easily have been induced
to hold their next meeting in the same
place had a sense of obligation allowed
them to forego the cordial invitations
of others and the prospect of pleasure
and profit of like kind.
We repeat only matter of common
fame when we say that one would have
to go far, if at all, to find a more re-
fined, hospitable intelligent, and God
fearing people than that in which
the Brick Church" stands as a bea-
con light. Presbyter.

fessor of geography in Feldkirch, the
capital of the Austrian province OF

DR.. Calmette, the director of the
Pastuer Institute at Lille, is the dis
coverer of curative serum for snake
bite. He was severely bitten recently
by poisonous reptile and at once gave
himself an injection of his cure. His
hand swelled badly and acute fever
set in, but during the same day was
we'll enough to attend meeting of the
general committee of his department
and to make an argument in favor of
a grant of money to sanatorium
which he has founded at Lille. On the
following day he was perfectly well,
having thus afforded in his own per-
son. albeit unwillingly, a convincing
proof of the efficacy of his remedy.
