ell at its next meeting Tuesday evening. A
successor to Capt. Herbert Bryant, who
has served two terms, will be elected. Mr..

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 5, 1902
The mystery surrounding the death of
William Smith, an aged and prominent
citizen of Woodbridge, which occurred near
that place Saturday, April 26, will be thor
oughly Investigated by the court Of Prince
William county. William Roane, colored,
who lived near the spot where the body Of
the dead man was found, will be placed on
trial charged with his murder, before Judge
Lipscomb, sitting at Manassas. The case
will be called Monday morning next, but it
is doubtful whether it will be tried at this
term. Commonwealth Attorney j. B. T.
Thornton, who will conduct the prosecution,
said this morning he thought it probable
the hearing would be continued until
August. The attorneys are expected to ask
for a postponement in order to have more
time in which to collect evidence. Roane
will be defended by Attorney ]. Jenkyn
Davies of Manassas. About twenty wit
nesses, including DR.. Lambert, who per-
formed the autopsy upon SMITHS body, and
Coroner Robert Powell, who conducted the
inquest have been summoned to testify.
The case will probably last several days
Widespread attention was attracted by
the unexplained disappearance of the aged
citizen from his home and the discovery of
his body about a week later in a Nciump of
trees two miles below Woodbridge. The
coroner'S jury which viewed the remains
believed that murder had been committed
Dr. Lambert held the same view. Suspicion
fell on Roane, and the sons of the dead
man employed Detective McDevitt of Wash
ington to work up the case. The detective
and the county authorities went to Wood
bridge, where a thorough investigation was
made, but it was determined to drop the
matter temporarily. Later on sufficient
evidence, in the opinion of the authorities,
to Justify his arrest was gathered against
ROane. His Indictment for the crime fol-
lowed. The body of the unfortunate man
was eXhumed, and it was established it is
alleged, that his head was mashed and
some of his ribs were broken. This seemed
to be convincing evidence that he had been
the victim of foul play. Excitement ran
high at Woodbridge Immediately after the
discovery of the dead body, and a lynching
was freely discussed.

The town of Greenwood is making a
hard fight to secure the Methodist Col
lege in case it is removed from Colum-
bla and the opinion prevails that it is
to be moved. The board favors NOV
ing and great many Mcthodists. This
feeling, it seems to US, prevails from
the fact that the people Of Columbia
are utterly indifferent. Columbia is
centrally located and is really the place
for the college, but as the business
men there are so Indifferent it looks
that the college will be moved.
We admire the pluck of Greenwood
The college will be worth great deal
TO any community in which it is located
from every point of view financial,
intellectual and moral.
We like town or community that
IS progressive and people who can
see beyond their nose.

4. II. aUbi. ErIruE


Our esteemed friend, T. J. w., does
not favor compulsory education for
South Carolina. We appreciate very
much his kind words about the editor
and we hope the editor will not disap-
point him. 1t is necessary, however,
to correct one or two wrong impressions
which seem to have been made on the
mind OF T. j. w. and possibly others.
In advocating compulsory education no
one suggested that there would be any
increase OF the amount of school tax or
Tn 1T would be advisable to lengthen
the school term to nine months, though
that would be desirable, but not prac-
tlcable at present and for some time to
come. The most ardent advocates of
compulsory education for South Carroll
ma only contend for a term of sixteen
weeks, which is less than the public
school term in this State.
As to the statement that "there are at
least three-fifths Of the white parents
DONG everything available to school
Their children, in fact there are hun
dreds OF them making sacrifice.''
This is true, and no better argument
IN favor of compulsory education law
can be made. "Three-fifths of the
"hlte parents are doing everything
available to school their children" Com
pulsory education would not in the
least affect these thrce-fifths. But
there are two-ffths of the white
parents of the State who are not ac-
counted for by II. j. W., and these
t"o-h1ths, and not the "three-fifths who
are doing everything available" al
ready, are the ones we desire to reach
and are The only ones who would be
reached by legislation of this charac
ter.
referring to the case mentioned in
these columns of a young girl in one of
our upper counties who could neither
read nor write and had never heard of
we existence of a God, II. J. w. as
serIs that any parents who neglect
she moral training of.their children in
inns respect are not worthy to live. :"
If this be true. what about a State
"hlch permits parents SO to neglect
their children? But the worth Of the
parents is not the question: The wei
1are - the children is that which is
demanding attention.
AS 10 the cotton mill. what T. j. W.
says Of Mr.. McCrary is possibly true.
The mill has built a handsome school
building and contributes to the support
OF the school, and yet there are chill
dren right here in the Newberry cot
ton mill village who ought to be at
school and whose parents want to send
them but who cannot because their
labor is demanded in the mill.
There is no danger that we will ovcrdo
the mater of education for a long time to
come. If it is right to tax the people
Tor the education Of the children be-
cause IN government like ours an
educated and intelligent citizenship is
not only desirable but necessary, then
IL Is right to say to those parents on
guardians who are ncglccting the chill
dren entrusted to their care, that you
shall give them the advantage of the
education provided. Not to increase
the amount expended but that all tn,
children shall receive the advantage OF
that already provided
