white people were as much interested
about the education of their children as
the negroes. With the white people con-
tinually going to the factories and work
ing the little children in the mill what
will we see the next twenty years?
negroes educated and whites uneducated.
Now as to those summer schools l
think we can do without them. We
have the very best State and denomina-
tiOnal colleges and high schools that all
who want to teach can obtain the latest
and very best method Of teaching, and
we have our county examining boards
so there is no Use of trustees taking the
school funds to pay teachers board at
the schools. IKE.

HOW ABOUT THOSE CHARTS?
Don't Like the Summer Schools.

DEAR EDITOR:-Will you give me
space in your popular paper for few
lines today. We have been having al
most all kinds of weather the past week
or two and very little farm work has
been done as yet but the farmers are
very anxious to get to work. 1t is fair
and cold today. hope it will continue
fair for several days.
Most all the cotton i'm this community
has been sold and the money spent, and
l guess that the merchants have been
the biggest losers as the most Of their
business was done on time ard if the
farmers fail they certainly will lose
heavily.
read in The State some days ago that
the supreme court of South Carolina had
concurred with the lower court in that
the public trustees had no right to pur-
chase charts that agents sold in this State
three or four years ago at such exhOrbi-
tant prices. Now, Mr.. Editor, will
those trustees who bought those charts
have to replace tie money in the treas
urer's office? If so the County Superin-
tendent's of Education should bear part
Of it. I haven't any doubt in my mind
but what the most of them gave their
signatures certifying to their great merit
and many OF the trustees bought them
because they were so highly recon-
mended. | guess they were vory good
but six or eight prices for anything is too
much. Some will say ,.at the trustees
receive no compensation fur their services
and are very careless about the distribu.
ton of the school funds. No one should
accept the place unless he int0nds to use
as much economy in the distribution of
the school funds as he would his own,
yea little more. Well, if the trustees
had no right to purchase charts what
right have they to pay board for teachers
while at those teachers summer schools
and where does the money come from to
pay those teachers and professors to
teach the State ard county summer
schools? suppose that the State Board
OF Education pays it and that the law
gives them the power unless they, like
the trustees, miscOnStrue the law.
/ do honestly believe that all money
spent for sLch purposes would b, much
better spent TO buy school books for the
real poor whites VIII, actually are not
able to bny books and their children are
cut of schoo! today. The negroes will

AN INTERESTING LETTER
From a Braiuy CoIored Teacher.
He Encourages His People to
Take Newspapers. Let Other
COIOred Teachers and Preachers
DO Likewise.
Webster. s. c.. Feb 3 1902

Webster, >. o., Feb D, 1902.
Mr.. EDIToR:-For several days rain
drops have been heard pattering on the
houses and elsewhere. The many little
streams are now filled to oveInOwing,
which sometimes causes inconvenience
as to the transportation of the mail
which we are all glad to receive, es-
pecially when we know that THE TINES
may come. A paper from home is more
than letter rs the news is more general
The few lines as to cOlored people
reading papers which appeared in a
recent issue of The TIMES was full of
logic. 1t is part OF my teaching among
my people-read some good newspaper
as the only means Of being posted on cur
rent events. The expanding mind must
be employed and reading is useful and
instructive to auy one who can be thus
interested. Let the good work continue.
Were it at my command THE TIMES
would be in every cOlOred home i'm the
county. 1t is a sign of intelligence.
Sunday morning the weather had On
tirely changed. The sun rose, not be.
hind the threatening clouds which pour
down rain in torrents, the sky was;cleaI
but fierce gale coming from the south
west while water utilized the face of the
earth made church goers few in number
and far between.
Grain is not all killed throughout this
section. There has rot been enough
warm weather yet TO set matters Alright
in this particular. We sometimes draw
a conclusion too sOoD, as to the activities
and outcome Of "Mother Nature"

THOUSANDS SEE BODIES.
Remains Of BiddIe Brothers Exposed to
:. Public View

Pittsburg, Feb. 4.-From 8 to 12
o'clock today the bodies of John and
Ed Biddle were exposed to public view
at an undertaking establishment on
the south side, and during the three
hours they We're on exhibition several
thousand po>lns passed before the
collins. As early as o'clock crowds
began to gather and despite the cold
they stood silently awaiting the open
Ing of the doors.
In the crowd were probably as many
women as MEN. Inspector William Nc
Shane, Captain Gallant and a squad
OF l6 officers were present to preserve
order. few minutes before 8 o'clock
the police arranged the morbid crowd
into line and promptly at 8 o'clock the
doors OF the mortuary chamber were
opened and the crowd passed slowly
and took a look at the remains of the
youthful desperadoe5. The bodies
were in black caskets. The heads of
the boys were turned so the crowd
could see them at a glance and the
police kept the crowd moving all the
time. The procession kept up through
out the three hours.
The burial will take place tomor-
row morning in one large grave In

that any religious services will be

The BraHSfOYd Mills.

Mr.. G.. w. Branstord, proprietor Of
he Bransford Mills at Greensboro, :,
KY, was in the city this week for
the purpose of introducing his cele-
brated brand Of "Clifton" flour.
The "Clifton" brand is not only
one Of the finest patent fours made,
but is sold under an absolute guaran-
tee OF its purity. Mr.. Bransford
says this means more now than it
ever did, as poisonous mineral
called barytes is being used now to
adulternte -four instead Of corn meal
and corn starch, recent report of
the Illinois Pure Food Commission
contains the astounding statement
that S3,O00,0 900 pounds of this min
eral were used for adulteripg flour
last year. 1t is said this mineral is
just as white and fine as flour, and
cannot be detected except by chem
ical analysis.
Mr.. Bransford is a member OF the
Anti-Adulteration League organized
some years ago to prevent the adul-
teration of foodstuffs. He says that
in addition to being under oath not
to use adulterants, each member of
the League has up a bond CT 1000
to be forfeited in case any adulter-
alton whatsoever is found in his -four.
The Bransford Mills is the only mem
Der Of the League south Of the Ohio
river. Having such guarantee of
purity is in itself strong recon-
mendation of the "Clifton" brand.
The -four will be vigorously pushed
in this market, and the following well
known grocers have already placed
an order for some:
Macbeth Young, w. Newell Smith,
M. w. Bobo, j. II. Spears, Union
Cotton Mills Store.
NO ARGUMENT is NEEDED
To convince anyone who has once
tried it, Of the merit of our "Clifton"
brand of -four.
The flour speaks for itself. 1t tells
it's own story of absolute purity and
careful milling. 1t speaks in the
eloquent language Of light, white
loaves and biscuits, delicious pastry
and tempting cakes. 1t speaks with
such conviction that it brings the
| user back for more and it always
tells the same satisfactory story.
Why not learn this story Of pure
flour by trying "Clifton?" Ask your
grocer for it.

Her health is not particularly good

Baroness Moncheur all Of whom
are expected to he back in their own
