REV. MARSH DEAD.
Pastor of the Second Baptist
Church Succumbs to
ApOpIeXy.

The citizens of Columbia were
shocked last Tuesday evening by
learning of the death of Rev. II.
Jehoy Marsh, pastor of the Second
Baptist church of this city. He
was apparently well during the
day walking around town as usual.
The sad end came while sitting in
chair in his home. ApopleXy
is supposed to have been the cause
of his death. Last October
Rev. Marsh came to Columbia
from Paris, ILL.,, to accept the pas
torate of the Second Baptist
church. He was a graduate of
Roger Williams University and
about forty years of age. He
leaves a wife and two children
His wife, DR.. Anna B. Marsh, left
with the remains Wednesday after
noon for Nashville, Tenn. This
is the third pastor of the Second
Baptist church who has died in
Columbia within the past five
years and the second one within
the last ten months.

community at large extend theil

ABOUT THE AUTOMOBILES.

From the Ashland Bugle.
Since last summer the Bugle has
agltated an automobile passenger
and freight service between Ash
land and Columbia, asserting the
belief that if Ashland people did
not take hold of the matter some
one from some other town would.
We still believe this. The Columbia
Statesman of last week suggests
that Columbians establish an
automobile hack service between
the county seat and Ashland and
Rocheport. The suggestion could
be proftably acted upon. This
paper made the prediction last
summer that inside of two years
an automobile passenger service
between this town and the county
capital would be introduced.
Should this prediction fail to come
true, our sign rs prophet will be
brought in out of the dry.

George R. Smith College Notes.


Such an interest as is manifest
in the scientific department this
year was never before witnessed
in the history of this institution.
The work of Prof. j. w. Hoffman
who came to us this year to occupy
the chair of professor of chemis-
try and biology, has so eminently
inspired the students as to gener-
ate more anxious and inevitable
thirst for scientific knowledge in
the minds of the scientific students.
The students have not only in
creased the interest in their studies
but are seizlng every opportunity
to become better acquainted with
the recent experiments and inven-
tions which tend to modify the
present situation of commercial
advantages.
Last fall club was organized
with the title of "Pasteur Scien-
tific Club" and Prof. j. w. Hoff-
man was elected its chairman.
The enthusiasm that has been dis
played by the members of the club
in It's various sessions is commend
able, and the papers, speeches, and
discussions have been confined to
subjects of greatest Importance to
the coming scientist. Elaborate
discussions have been made on
such subjects as the Evolution of
Man," "Probability of Machines
Of Perpetual Motion" and "The
Effect of the Recent Invention of

A NEWSPAPER FABLE.

q
ago, a young man decided to go
into business for himself. He Sc
lected the newspaper business as
most fitting his qualifications.
While walking on the street one
day he met an acquaintance who
grasped him by the hand and said
81 hear you are going into the
newspaper business, and | hope
you won't forget to occasionally
give my business a puff" Pas
sing on, he next met the shoe
dealer, who also wanted to be re-
membered, as did his neighbor,
the clothing man. Next he met
the grocer, the preacher and the
politician, and all wanted puff.
The first issue appeared, and each
one had been remembered. The
clothier was an estlmable fellow,
honest and upright in all his deal
ing and his stock of ready-wear
shoddy could not be beat in seven
states; the grocer handled moth
ing but the best of everything; was
ever ready to accommodate customers
and sold his goods so low that he
had to lift them to get them on the
counter. The shoe dealer had
been to the Legislature, and he
had it, "The Hon. Mr.-invit-
ed him into his store, and there he
found the most complete line of
footwear it had ever been his
pleasure to see" Everything was
there that any one could wish to
see in the line of leather (shoes
dating back to 1860 up to within
five years of the present time.
The preacher, who talked through
his nose and read a one and a half
hour sermon imported from Eng.
land the fore part of the century

Let us Try This.
BY OTIS N. SHACKLEFORD.


Education develops enthusiasm
and the appreciation of lofty
things. 1t has a refining effect
upon the tastes of man, and not
only gives him a better insight
into the beauties of nature which
surround him in his daily life,
making him see "sermons in
stones, books in running brooks,
and good in every thing" but it
also makes him better able to
grapple with the stern realities,
the difficult problems, aud the
many responsibilities of life. IL
can answer two fold purpose
against the enemy. 1t is both
sword and shield, and it would
be well for every American negro,
if possible, to thus arm himself.
1t can secure more of his rights
and privileges than the shot gun
or ballot box. 1t is a passport
into the good graces and confidence
of all men. Say what you will, it
is the salvation of the negro in
America. 1t is the one essential
part necessary for the solution of
the Grace Problem" and hence we
should not hesitate to seize every
opportunity for mental develop
ment and self culture; that we
may be better, broader, and more
useful as citizens and secure the
respect and confidence of those
who, too often, misjudge us.
Trained and upright leadership
is in great demand. We want
men of culture and good character
in every walk and community of
life. Our schools and our pulpits
should be filled with wise and in
telligent men and women, in order
that they may point out the way
clearly and inspire their following
with lofty thoughts and noble pur.
poses. We can not have too many
such leaders. Our leaders, as a
rule, are lacking in the qualities
necessary for the culture and re-
finement of people. Too many
of them are unschooled in the hab-
its of honesty and uprightness.
They are too eager for self-praiss,
and self-aggrandizement. So ca
ger, sometimes, that they will
overstep all law, both of God and
man, to satisfy their greedy and
selfish nature. Down with such
leaders Let us, who are young,
who have time and talent, educate
and prepare ourselves for leader
> ship. Let us practice the virtues
and not the vices of this life.
Let us be possessed with a broad
ness of mind, a loftiness OF
thought, a nob!eness of character,
backed up by moral courage and
: moral strength, in order that we
, may be better able to do justice,
, not only to ourselves, not only to
our fellow men, not only to the
race with which we are connected,
but to our Almighty Maker, in
whom we live, move and have oul
being.

is actually frightful the language that
frequently assails the ears of ladies on

persons, who have no respect for their
parents, sisters, wives, or no lady, feel
that they have right to use any kind
of language they please, and the kind
they feel pleased to use is generally of
the most disgusting kind. Sometimes,
too, they speak In tone of voice that
can be heard clear across the street and
sometimes farther. This abuse Of
privileges has been permitted to go
unchecked so long that IL is being taken
