The shooting of President Mckinley
has aroused the sympathy of the whole
nation. Irrespective of party or creed,
fervent prayers and earnest hopes are
that his life will be spared. In every Sec
ton of South Carolina has this feeling
been unanimous, and our people are
truly grieved because of this calamity.
There is a reason for this; it is not simply
the outburst from warm, sympathizing
Southern hearts 1t must and does mean
more The words of Gov. Gambler and
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia; our own Gov.
McSweeney, and the strong resolutions
adopted by Camp Hampton, United Con-
federate Veterans, of Columbia, show
plainly that we are now one people
there are no imaginary lines separating
any part of the country-and that Presi-
dent Mckinley has the respect and conf
dence of all true citizens

Mark Twain, Origin Of the Nom and
His Trup Name.

Our Mark Twain-the American "eaglc
eyed, cagle-bcakcd writcr'-created 4
furore abroad and returns to US with new
laurels.
Let us lift the cover of his nom dc
plume and take peep into the true life
of this great man. Samuel l.. Clemens
was born in Missouri, on Nov. 30, 1885. Up
to twelve years of age he was laggard
in the school room and in after years,
while still q youth, developed restless.
irresolute disposition, causing him TO ac-
compliSh little or nothing in his under
takings At one time he was a tramp
printer, getting jobs from place to place,
but finally gave up press work to go on a
Mississippi steam boat While he piled
up and down the father of waters the
embyro plot was conceived that gave to
the reading world in after years, the story
of Life on the Mississippi"
The rough life of tramping and associa-
ton with all classes of mankind afforded
ample material for the rich humorous
character sketching found in "Huckle-
berry Finn and Tom Sawyer" "Huck"
is one of the most natural characters in
the literary world, we all know such go
lucky y-thank-the- Lord for -Sunday-fellows
It is refreshing to throw off the shackles
of conventionality and be easy with the
imaginary Hoosiers for time.
At the outburst of our civil troubles in
the COS Mr.. Clemens went West and en-
gagged in newspaper work. While cast
ing about for a suitable name to write un-
der, the steamboat cry of mark twain
81 gnal that the depth of the water was
two fathoms-came to his mind and ever
afterwards he has been known to the
world as Mark Twain" "Innocents
Abroad" immortalized him, $1,000 copies
being sold in the first six months. 1t isa
highly entertaining book, recording ex-
periences he had on his Mediterranean
trip, filled with the richest humor. His
graphic description of seasickness is
amusing in the extreme.
In 1870 he married Miss Ian ngdon, from
Elmira, New York. Four children were
born to them. Mark has great hatred
for all pretense and superficial vernacu-
lars. He advises his fellow-men to have
a general cleaning up in their hearts and
"clear away, sweep, dust and fumigate
the old rubbish therein" He abominates
polite society stories and admonishes
US to quit regarding persons feelings
or opinion more than the truth.
We should know more OF this big
hearted, talented man and should he con-
sent to the urgent calls for him to leave
his Connecticut home and go ON the Ice
ture-stand, we may have such aprlvllege.

What Shall 1 Do With MY Boy!

Should send him back to the graded
school and make him take five years to
prepare for college? Should | get gov
erness and let her piddle along with him
here in the country? Should | send him
to the country school that might run one
or six months, such as it is? Should l
send him off to school at all-only thir-
teen and half? Could / risk my child
in strange community under and among
strangers, in moral and religious peril?
Should take him, at the risk of his life,
into the treacherous climate Of the far
west? A thousand times have these ques-
tions burnt their way though my soul this
year and brought no answer tn this
morning. He was growing rapidly and
would soon become listless, and lose in
terest in hard study, and then ignorance
would follow. Could risk the possibill-
ty of raising child that would be dwarf
ed intellectually by my failure to do
fathers simple duty? Could l doom him
to a small life in large world? 1t was
now or never. The crisis was On-far
sooner with him than with many others
under different circumstances.
The family had favored Carlisle Fitting
School, but / thought We had there
Primary Department that meant about
the same as the Graded SCHOOLGIRLS OF
slow climbing. When | took the cata-
logue and studied the plan of the work, 1t
took only few minutes to see that the
spirit of Capt. H. G. Sheridan, the father
of the Head Master, the Moses Waddell
of the last half century, was in and his
stamp on the school, and here in thirty
miles was exactly what had been look
ing for hopelessly.
The Graded Schools are probably the
best we can do now, but they are neces-
sarily graded of children of only average
intelligence and culture, and aim not at
college but at preparation for life. want
my boy to 90 to college and / want him
pushed, for only those made to work
hard, work best. So he goes to Bambcrg
and saves two years in the time required
to prepare for college, is under the in
fluence of my church, which / love next
to my family, and will have the strongest
religious care and the best modern high
school teaching.~He will not be taught
specifically by poorly equipped teachers,
he will not be told that he is in college
already, nor be uniformed and made to
waste time drilling, nor will he be deceiv-
ed by any high sounding name of the
school, and, above all, he will not be
defrauded out of right ideals of education
by being graduated! 1t is only Fitting
School, where boys and girls are so drill
ed as to get the thorough mastery over
the lower rounds of the ladder, and make
higher climbing, in college or in life, not
easy, but possible.
These lines would not have been writ
ten but for the knowledge that a thousand
other anxious hearts in South Carolina
are throbbing with the same questions
that have disturbed my own. Icommend
the Carlisle Fitting School to those who
want the best training, in the shortest
time, under the safest influences, at the
lowest cost for their boys and girls not
ready for college.-John A. Rice in South
ern Christian Advocate.
