The Rnral School.

Mr.. BranSon of Georgia has recent
ly told in the Worlds Work the story
of the model rural schools which the
Federation of Women'S Clubs is help
ing to establish in that state. In
speaking of one he said: The COM
mon school subjects will be taught,
of course. But cooking, the cultiva-
tion Of school gardens, a half dozen
forms Of remunerative handicrafts, a
school library, a mothers club and a
fortnightly institute for the teachers
OF the country will be some OF the
features Of this school," Yea, verify;
why not include in the work Of the
school so much of the work Of the
community as the children can appre-
ciate and employ in their own educa-
tion? a school is a place in which
children should live and move and
have their being. 1t should reflect
the larger life without and prepare its
pupils for a better life in the future
by helping them to live a truer, more
normal life il the present. That
whichiS treated with respect in school,
whether it be arithmetic or grammar,
cotton picking or hog raising, religion
Or politics, will rarely be an object Of
contempt after school. Time and ex-
perience will eliminate what is useless
or harmful In the curriculum and
methods of such experimental schools.

Picturesque Phenomena.

A special from London Thursday
SAYS: The correspondent Of The Daily
Mail at CASTLES, St. Lucia, has cabled
the following account Of the pheno-
mena witnessed at the time Of the re-
cent outbreak Of Mont Pelee. Marti-
niQue. Between and 9 o'clock in
the evening of August 80 a spectacle
of terrific grandeur was witnessed from
here. 4 pitch black cloud hung over
the Island of Martinique, through
which shot at intervals pillars of flame
high in the sky, which broke in fan
tastic forms Of colOred fire and scat
tered as showers Of fiery sparks.
About nightfall clouds were darting
about like millions OF monster tireflies,
and above all those large aueroles ap-
pcared in the sky" The correspon-
dent then proceeds to confirm the de-
tails of the eruption as already
known, and says: There were tre-
mendouS earth rumblings and explo-
sions. The ground rocked and moth
ing could stand on tables shelves.
Boats for st. Pierre were unable to
reach the town, owing to the fall OF
hot ashes, and a tidal wave destroyed
the whole Of the sea front of lie Car
bet. People returned here from Mar
Unique only last week to take back
their families to Fort de France"

a Heavy Frost.

The Columbia State says in the
summary of the weather conditions
over the country, Mr.. Bauer said
Thursday: AN area of high barome-
trio pressure is this morning over the
central valleys, preceded by shoWery
conditions over the greater portion OF
the cotton belt and the Atlantic coast
to upper New England, and attended
by clear, and decidedly cool weather,
with heavy frost this morning In the
Dakotas. The cool weather covers
the greater portion Of the corn belt,
but frosts are not probable tonight in
the principal corn producing States as
the cool wave is closely followed by
much higher temperatures. The
collier weather will reach this section
by Friday, preceded by showery condl-
tions and followed by generally clear
weather. During the past "a hours,
rain fell over the eastern half of the
continent, except in the south Allan
tic coast region: Florida and South
Carolina. Scattered showers occurred
in Texas. The following heavy
precipitation was reported: Atlanta

Wants TO Buck Tillman.

It was published in The State re-
Gently that the people Of Greenville
are looking for Senator McLaurin to
make his home in that city. The
Bennettsville correspondent OF The
State says in regard to this matter:
Senator McLaurin is here, but says
he will leave for the north in few
days. lie has been in consultation
with his former law partners, Judge
C. p. Townsend and Col. Tom Z.
Homer. several times this week and 1t
is rumored that he intends to return
to BennettSvillc and resume the prac-
tice Of law. When asked about the
report that he intended to settle IN
Greenyllle the senator said that he
had not decided upon any definite
plans. 1t is thought here that Sena-
tor McLaurin intends to settle down
somewhere in the State and wait ror
an opportune time to reenter politics
perhaps to run against Senator I'LL
man In 1906"

Caused a Sensation.

There are sensational developments
in connection with the suicide last
Tuesday night of George Conrad
head waiter of the Gibson house at
Cincinnati, Ohio. His wife, on ap'
pretending letters from the wife Of
prominent business man to her hus'
band, was suing Conrad for divorce
and a wealthy society woman for dam
age on account of the alienation OF
affections. The attorneys Of Mrs.
Conrad appealed to the postal authori-
ties and among the letters from Con,
rad to the woman Of whom he was
enamored there was found one in
which Conrad outlined his plan, TIC
convey his wife to the middle Of the
Ohio river, upset the skiff, as though
by accident, swim ashore himself and
leave Mrs. Conrad to drown" Wher
Conrad was confronted by bis wife anc
attorneys with this letter and knew
he would be prosecuted criminally,
he had hurried interview with the
woman for whom he had deserted his
wife and then killed himself. Mrs.
Conrad says he repeatedly invited her
to take boat rides, but she had been
forewarned. The implication OF a
well known woman here in the dam
age suit of Mrs. Conrad has caused a
great sensation.

! Still Further Reports About the
Cruptior OF HIt. PeiCc.

: The report brought by the Roya
Mail steamer Yare. which arrived al
! Berlin. Germany, Friday evening
from Martinique, Of the loss OF 2.OGi
lives through the recent outbreak O
Nont Pelee referred to the deaths
since August 30. and not to the loss
OF life resulting from the reported
outbreak Of Wednesday, September ).
The eruption Of Mont Pelcc Oh sep
tember 3 was not remarkable: but
there was a terrific explosion from
the Soufriere. on the island of st.
Vincent: September ).
The captain of the Steam"r Savan-
nah. now at Berlin, confirming the
report cabled to the Associated Press
Thursday that she ran into GenS"
clouds OF dust when twenty miles
southwest Of St. Vincent, on Ncdnes-
dav morning, adds that absolute dark
ness prevailed soon afterwards. and
that he changed his course to due
west In order to escape the asaeS.
which were falling thick. The hrst
officer could not see the captain two
feet away, and only knew him by his
voice. They did not see the sun unu;
about 10 q. II. the same day.
The steamer Yarc further reports
that several more valuable plantations
were destroyed at the time CT tie re-
cent outbreak. and adds JilaJ the
anxiety and detection Of the Surviving
population are general.
OUR COUNSEL ALARMED.
y am seriously alarmed at the
news Of the renewed activity of the
Martinique and St. Vincent vOlca-
noes" said Louis II. Ayme, United
States consul at Guadeloupe. who is in
Chicago on sick leave.
Should Mont Pelee blow It's head
of the loss Of life consequent upon the
production Of a great tidal wave would
be appalling. With Pelee as a centre,
a chain of islands extends northwest
ward, embracing population Of so:no
10000.
Almost without exception tAA
cities and villages are situated along
the coasts and but Slightly elevated
above the sea. y tidal wave 70 feet
high would probably destroy d hall
million lives before it dashed against
the shores Of Puerto Rico with its
million in habitan:s.
There Is also apparently grave
danger that other long extinct yulca-
noes may break out. The grcas
Soufriere OF Guadcloupe has been &C
tive for centuries, diScharging vast
column Of sulphur-charged steam from
the old summit crater. This may
have acted rs u. sort Of safety valve:
but if us reports seem to indicate,
the seismic force are increasing inten-
sity this volcano and othere along the
line Of seismic weakness marked by
the island chain may be soon rivalling
Pclee.

Blown to Fragments.

While the guns Of Fort Wright, on
Fishers Island, \. Y, we're firing on
the fleet in the mimic war Wednes-
day, Edward Roy was instantly killed
by the premature discharge Of a -
inch gun, Harry A. Davis died later
at the hospital from injuries received,
and third man, Samuel CleTenger,
was severely wounded. Several Others
suffered slight injuries. All the men
were privateS Of the second company,
coast artillery, of the regular army.
Roy was No. , man at the gun and
was handling the powder. He had
put a 30-pound charge into the gun,
and had just pushed the breech block
into place without locking it when the
explosion occurred. 1t IS supposed
that a. piece Of burning rag had been
left in the gun. Roy was literally
blown to pieces. Davis was hit in the
chest by a piece Of flying bone and
sustained fatal injuries.

Tried to Cut Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan had an exciting encoun-
ser with a drunken man at the Labor
Day picnic at Lincoln, Neb. last week.
Mr.. Bryan and two friends were COM
ing out OF the park, when they saw
two men fighting. The larger was
numerically pummelling the other
man. Mr.. Bryan promptly interfer-
ed. In his drunken rage the big man
drew a knife and revolver from his
pocket. Mr.. Bryan grasped him by
one wrist, the other man grasped his
other arm. The stranger was at least
six feet tall and brawny and had just
enough liquor in him to increase his
strength and fury. In the struggle
that followed he proved tough prop
osition. Nh. Bryan has not shaken
hands for nothing the past six years.
He had a grip that would not loosen
and be clung to the mans wrist until
he had him oyerpowered. The stranger
was finally elected from the park and
the man who had been whipped also
escaped.

Defends Trusts.

The following criticism Of the much
talked-of Republican hand book Is
from the oldest and most prominent
Republican newspaper in the country:
To the casual reader 1t IS made to
appear not unlikely that the camgaign
managers do not recognize the trust
question as one Of especial 1mpor-
tance. and. in fact, they have tried to
minimize it's Importance, although
they have included in the volume
President ROoseyelt'S message to con-
gress on the subject. 1t would a4So
seem that either consciously or uncon-
sciously. an effort has been made by
the compilers Of the book to defend
trusts
