The True Cause.

TIE Columbia Record says MaSsa-
chuSetts papers are trying to explain
why Booker Washington's daughter
was forced to leave Wellesley college.
One paper attempts to explain it by
the fact that the Southern girls in
the college absolutely refused to assC-
ciate with her, and adds that some OF
the Northern girls took up" with
her. There is no -disputing about
tastes generally, so the Northern girls
are welcome to theirs in this matter:
but the truth OF it is that the
generality Of Northern girls are not
much different from their Southern
sisters in this respect. The faculty
OF the college is acting very follishly
in trying to make it appear that any
thing else than race prejudice. If you
please To cali it that, caused her re-
lection as a student after the expert
ment had been tried for one term.

Penitentiary Farms.

The Columbia State says an
inspection of the comnisSary depart

tiary just at this time would make
the average Sonth Carolinian con-
gratulate the State upon having Col.
D. J. Griffith at the head Of the insti-
tuition. The commissary is stacked to
it's capacity with meal, -four, and sup
plies of all kinds. The -four is OF the
very best quality and is all neatly
sacked. There is highland rice in
plenty and no end Of other provisions
for the winter season. All Of it is
the product of the State farms dur
ing the year. Never have the farms
netted more handsome results. The
actual facts and figures will be set
forth in the coming annual report OF
the operations of the Institution. In
addition to these supplies there are
new in the pens of the institution as

can be found in South Carolina and

FAMINE IN PHILIPPINES.
Heroic Measures are Being Taken to
Relieve Situation in Archipelago.

4 dispatch from Manila says the
Philippine commission has been forced
to take heroic measures to relieve the
famine conditions prevailing in the
archipelago. It has appropriated 81
600. 900, Mexican, to purchase rice and
to charter vessels to carry the supplies
to the different islands.
1t is proposed to sell the rice for
cash and to distribute it through the
civil officials. It will be sold at not
less than actual cost, including duty,
transportation, shrinkage and storage,
thus not prejudicing legitimate COM
petition; but this will result in the
sufferers being able TO purchase at
from one-third to one-half less than
the present cost, owing to the exorbi-
tant coastwise rates that shippers are
obliged to pay. The first rice steamer
sailed for the provinces Of the Cana
rines Wednesday morning. The bulk
of the rice to be disposed of in this
manner will be purchased in Siam.
Reports from various places in the
archipelago show general condition
of poverty and famine, resulting from
the insurrection, cholera and rinder-
pest. The authorities Of the Zamba-
les provinces have appealed for aid in
introducing American agricultural ma
chinery and in importing caribaos
(water butfaloesl the rinderpest having
killed 26.600 of these animals this
year.
The shippers have objected to the
government importing rice, and have
offered Governor Taft lengthy expla-
nation in justification Of the prohibi-
tive prices prevailing for rice. They
say in effect that the Philippine crop
is always insufficient for the home de-
mand, and that the present crop in
Indo-C China is failure, the grain there
selling 80 per cent. higher than it did
last year. The ASiatic growers haze
issued notice that no rice will be
available between December and Feb
ruary.
The prices of hemp caused the Fill
pinos to neglect their scanty rice cul
| tivation. The shippers deny that
there is a pool to control prices, anc
declare that the high freight rates are
the natural result of the tiuctuating
currency. The price is enhanced by
the long quarantine, increased wages
and the high duty. They assert thai
the local tonnage is sufficient to han
| die the business.

An Epidemic OF Suicides.

Under this caption the Atlanta
Journal says there must be some
thing radically wrong-when young
men all over this country, with deliber-
ate intent, are taking their own lives
and confessing to their despair-with
no other remedy for themselves but
death. Youth is the season. the era
of hope that is said to spring eternal
in the human breast. Why is it, that
so many young men-just stepping
but on the threshold Of everyday life
have deliberately determined to
quench the vital sparks in their own
lives, either by pistol balls or by poi
son? The percentage Of suicide must
be immense in the United States
when so much appears in our own
local papers, to startle and horrify US.
Perhaps there is really nothing but a
sense Of Gods protection and the
resignation which comes from d re-
alization of Gods promise to comfort
in deep trouble which curbs the de-
spair of the majority Of poor disap-
pointed natureS-and as We see it, the
mission of the modern church is to
investigate more fully and clearly and
find out the needs of young men, eS-
pecially to repeated words OF cheer
and consolation, in time of sore trial.
Has the cigarette habit made these
poor young men unusually deSpondent
and despairing? We know that the
drink habit will sap a mans energy
and precipitate his nature into fits OF
dependency, and oftentimes make
him incline to suicide, but all suicides
are not drunkards, and drink is not
the only exciting cause as daily re-
ported in the public prints. This
prevalence of the suicide mania is
really alarming. 1t is Of sufficient
magnitude to arrest not only the
ministry but every reform organiza-
tion in the land. 1t certainly should
arrest the earnest attention of the
motherhood of our own section We
believe one of the most fruitful
causes of suicide is the speculation
mania. Our young men are in too
big a hurry to get rich, and when
they risk their all on cotton futures
or some other speculative scheme and
lose they become despondent and take
their lives.

negro who has been employed by Mr..
S. \. Wyatt as hostler, met death in
rather peculiar manner. While COM
ing from Central and attempting to
cross Eighteen Mile creek he encoun-
tered Quicksand. One OF his horses
succeeded in breaking loose from the

the other one was drowned. 1t seems
that Robert was not drowned, but

Mr.. Bourquin was connected with
the oldest families Of the state; in
fact, being a descendant Of some of
the original settlers. He was born in
Savannah in 1887, and had resided
there ever since. He was connected
with the Central railroad before the
war as cashier. After the war, with
the firm Of Gilliland Il Rourquin, he
conducted grocery and produce bust

KILLING NEAR ELKO.
Ben and Arthur McCuriey Surrender
Themselves as the Guilty Parties.

Monday night, Nov. 3, between
dark and ten o'clock, Mr.. r. B. Klint
was shot and killed about three miles
east Of EIko. The murder occurred
within few hundred yards Of Mrs
McCurley's residence. About II
o'clock the same night Mr.. Will Nc
Curley came to Elko and to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. W. N. Jones, where Mr..
Kline boarded, and told Mr.. Jones
that Mr.. Kline was dead and he be-
lieved that his brothers, Ben and
Arthur, had killed him.
Mr.. Jones and three other citizens
of Elko, proceeded to the McCurley
neightborhood, called on George Nc
Curley, married son of Mrs. McCur-
ley, who showed them where Mr..
Kline lay-a few feet out from the
road, on his back, in ditch, stone
dead. There was large wound, evil
IDENTIFY made by gunshot, that pene-
trated the base of the brain and must
have caused almost instant death.
There were small shot wounds on the
neck, face and body.
George McCurley stated that his
brothers, Ben and Arthur, had killed
Kline, but neither he nor Will could
give any cause for the deed. After
the killing Ben and Arthur McCurley
went to Blackville, telegraphed to the
sheriff at BarnWell what they had
done, and that they were ready to
surrender. Then they went home and
went to bed. The coroner's jury rem
dered a verdict that according to the
best Of their knowledge and belief the
dead man came to his death by gun
shot wounds inflicted at the hands Of
Ben and Arthur McCurley.
1t is rumored that Kline had gross
ly insulted a young sister OF the Nc
Curleys, which is said to be the cause
OF the tragedy. Mr.. Kline was about
thirty years old, intelligent, pleasant
in appearance, and had made a very
good impression on many Of our citi-
zens. He was a native Of Kentucky
and drove from there in a wagon to
this place last summer, arriving just
three months ago. He was in the
memorial picture business, and has
brother at Quitman, Ga. The Nc
Curleys went to Barnwell Tuesday af-
ternoon and gave themselves up to the
sheriff.
