SCHOOL CLoslNa At RHEIMS.

SCHOOL CLOSING At RHEIMS.
Excellent Entertainment Marks the
Close Of Miss HemingwaY's School.
Editsr County Record:
We would appreciate space in
your columns TO render short
account of an excellent entertain
nent at RHEIMS, s. g.. March IL,
inst. The occasion marked the
clesins Of Miss Lila Hemlngway;s
school. This excellent young
lady deserves to be highly com
nended for her thorough and ear
nest work and the good results
thereby accomplished. The select
ions of the entertainment were
good and the rendition gave evil
dence of thorough and efficieu:
training. The address before the
school was delivered by Prof. g..
N. Melton, principal Of Oak Grove
Academy, Clarendon, S. ;. Re-
lating anecdotes, he kept the child
rem entertained and impressed on
his hearers the great demand for
trained minds, showing that as in.
vsntlon removes physical labor and
mulllplieS manifoldly The amount
of WORK accomplished, the mind is
more and more called upon TO per-
form the task. Then, in closing,
he pointed out strength OF char
acter as essential To the highest
success and emphasized useful
uess as a prime object Of life.
Rev. +. G. kilgore, the pastor
here. who bad opened the exer-
cissS with a prayer, was now call
ed upon. He understands cap
tivating instantly the hearts of
children. All who heard him
were pleased and compelled much
of the time 10 allow laughter to
hold sway. Nevertheless, the
truth impressed was profound,
and he brought out clearly the
possibilities of the young ia al
tanning not only TO success, but
also i'll becoming truly great and
good.
The closiag scene was he pa
theiic one. When kind and tender
farewells wore exchanged, bitter
tears were shed by the little
pupils.

The EXCURSION EViL.

In COnN0ctlOu Win Ease "itSH
came up in court this week it is
beftting to make some comment
on negro excursions and the evil
that too frequently grows out OF
them. On such occasions, as at
the deadly hot supper closely al
llied to them, there are generally
among the participants a number
of young toughs armed with
knives, raz ors and pistols literally
looking for trouble.
In the case in question the ex-
curslen train left Georgetown TO
return 10 Society Hill at a late
hour. A ro- occurred in which
several young negroes were i'm
plicsted, one "i whom lost bis
life. Because the tragedy hap
pened to take place i'll Williams
burg county the case had to be
tried here and the county put 10
Hundreds of dollars expense on
account of the conduct Of ire
sponsible negroes-noAe Of whom
lived in this county-and our
taxpayers have the bill to foot.
The people are growing tired OF
this sort of thing, and it Is time a
stop were put to it. 1t strikes US
that If the railroad authorities
would exercise more discretion IL
arranging their schedules on such
occ&slons and place the cars un-
der proper police regulation such
occurrences might be avoided.
The evidence showed that although
this was a negro excursion, with
no coaches for whites, yet there
were white men in the cgowd, one
of whom testified on the stand
that he was ridlngin the seat with
a negro woman. If such things
be allowed, what is the use Of a
Jim Grow car law? 1t is to avoid
this commingling Of the races that
the law was enacted.
Again, throughout the serious
row that occurred, there is no eyi-
dence that the conductor or a sin
gle railroad employee was present.
before or during the trouble. II
conductors on these trains did
their duty as laid down by the
law there would be beit.r secu-
Iity for onr lives than at present
exists. 1t has come to pass that
a negro excursion is often little
short of moh-the difference
being that Il mob is usually after
an individual, while the reckless
excursionist deems it his privilege
10 XIII anyone that getsln his way.
The law Is strict enough on this
subject; all it needs is to be en-
forced.

NO SETTLEMENT REACHED.
ALBANY Common Council Will Revoke
Company's Franchise II 1t Does
Not Yield.

ALBANY. n. Y, May 17.-No settle
ment has been reached in the street
railway strike. After hours Of confer
ence the officials Of the United Trac-
tion Company and a committee from
the organizations of the strikers ad-
journed without changing the situation.
The company will proceed to run its
cars tomorrow on every line within the
city limits with the aid of a military
force that now numbers 5000 men.
The only step toward a settlement
that was made was the appointment to-
night Of a committee from the common
council to arbitrate and the adoption
of a resolution declaring that If set
tlement is not effected by Monday night
the council shall revoke the franchise
of the company.
The reason that there Is no settle
ment tonight is because the company
refuses to discharge the men brought
from other points to take the strikers
places. This new phase Of the con-
troversv promises to develop many i'm
portant impediments in the way of
settlement Of the strike.
