Scholarships in Oxford.

The Columbia State says Gov. Nc
Sweeney has at last received an official
communication in regard to the
scholarships to be established at Ok
ford university, England, under the
will of the late Right Hon. Cecil John
Rhodes. There is nothing in the in
formation received so far that will be
of value to any wishing to apply for
the two South Carolina scholarships.
The letter from Secretary Hay asks
the governor to collect from leading
educators in the State recommenda-
tions as to making regulations with re-
gard to the method by which quail
ications of the candidates are to be
ascertained and as to the eXamina-
tions, and" says Mr.. Hay, to that
end I request the views Of the chief
officials having the control of educa-
tion in the various States and Terri
tories" These views are to be COM
municated by Ambassador Choate to
the trustees of the will. One OF the
trustees, Mr.. Boucheier +. HawkSley,
under date Of June 1t, made this re-
Quest of Mr.. Choate, and in conclud-
ing his letter said: 1T is hoped that
the students can be elected in time to
90 into residence at Oxford in 1908.
The governor has received also print
ed copies of Mr.. Rhodes will relating
to these scholarships, which will be
used by those from whom suggestions
will be requested, There will be two
scholarships for each State, worth
81. 800 year each, and continuing for
three years.

kept allegiance to the Roman Catholic

every Easter morn the young men and

Easter carols and making the cliffs

But it is said that their young men
fight for pay and are mercenary SOL
diers. Yes, but they choose the side
they believe to be right. They would
not fight for Austria against the
Turks. nor would they fight for Bona
parte, nor for England against the
Beers. And now the civilized world
has let them alone and the little re-
public has had peace for nearly bun
dred wears.

SPANKED AN EDITOR
in Account of Defanlatory Commnni.
cation il The News
OF ANONYMOUS CORRESPONDENT
lntimutinS that Evans Had P-otitcd
from His Connection with the
Dispensary; Characteris-
tic Encounter.

A Special from Greenyille to the
Columbia State says A personal alter
cation took place last week in
front of The Daily News office be-
tween II. II. Evans of Newberry and
J. X. Blackman, editor Of the Green
vile News. Mr.. Evans came here
this afternoon to make pressing de-
mand upon the editor of The News
for the authorship of an article signed,
"A LOCKER on in Vienna" which ap-
peared in Saturdays issue, and alleged
that member Of the State diSpen-
sary board living in Newberry had
profited largely by his connection
therewith-buying farms, wearing
diamonS, etc.
Evans telegrahed the editor Of The
News Saturday night asking for the
name of the writer, to which the fol-
lowing response was made: I'VE de-
cline without his consent to give the
name of the author Of the article tt
which we presume you refer, and I'M
less you are prepared to deny it's truth
we do not recognize your right to de-
mand anything about it. We are re-
SponSible for the article. Editor
Greenville News"
Soon after reaching Greenville Mr..
Evans saw the business manager: Mr..
J. f. Richardson, who diSclaimed any
responsibility for the publication OF OF
knowledge Of the article before its
publication and at Evans suggestion
he telephoned Mr.. Blackman, who
said that he was unwell, to which
Evans replied that he would stay here
until Blackman got well.
Between I and s o'clock Blackman
went to the office, Mr.. Evans crossed
from the Mansion house and accosted
him, tel ing him that he had come for
the name that he had been refused, to
which Blackman replied that he would
not give it. Evans then asked if he
stood by the telegram and if he was
the .nan who sent it, to which an
affirmative answer was given, when
Evans Immediately landed left hand
ed lick upon Blackman'S face, knock
ing him down, beating him severely
and then taking him across the lap
and spanking him. No weapons were
drawn or used, and Evans was not
armed.
Evans was at once arrested by the
police, and friends went with him to
the residence of Mayor Jones, who re-
leased him upon $40 for his appear
ance to answer for disorderly conduct.
Evans preferred no charge against
Blackman, who was carried into The
News office.
Evans disclaimS any purpose Of en-
gaging in a fight with Blackman, ano
says he only asked in civil way fol
the name of the author Of the article
to which he took exception, as he was
determined to make some one reSpon'
sible and upon the name being di'
vulged he would have relieved Black
man of ali blame for it's publication.

Train Hand Killed.

A serious wreck occurred on the
the Atlantic Coast Lines at Hilda,
near Barnwell, Thursday afternoon
late, in which George Lowering, a
colored train hand, was killed and
Engineer Cannady slightly hurt. Two
extra" freight trains were in the
wreck, which resulted not only in the
loss Of one life and the injuring OF
good engineer, but also in great
damage to the railroad property. Both
trains, it is said, were bound for
Augusta, engineer Needy and Con-
ductor Edgerton in charge Of one,
engineer Cannady and conductor Nor
gan of the other. 1t is reported that
engineer Cannady ran into the rear
of engineer Neely's train. A bad
smash-up was the result. Engineer
Cannadys engine was turned over
down deep embankment. Larence,
the train hand, is said to have been
killed Instantly. Several freight cars
were demolished b. the shock and
every one of the crew Severel shaken.
The cause Of the wreck has not yet
been aScertained.

A Gradual Decrease.

According to bulletin issued by
the census bureau the farm property
of South Carolina is valued in the
aggregate at s153, sol, ,l59. OF this
amount s99, 9,SO5,S60 represents the
value of lands; s26, 955, go the value
of buildings; Sc, ,629,770 OF machinery,
and $40, 1919, $50 the value Of live stock.
The farm lands of the state cover an
area of 13, 9S5, Oh acres. Ninety acres
is given as the average size of farms in
the state, while in 1850 the average
size was 54l acres. There has been a
gradual decrease each ten years since
the half century mark was passed.
The farms now number l55,355 and
Of them S5,3S1 are operated by ne.
groes. The farm products of the state
for 1899 represented a value of $685.

SENATORIAL RACE.
CoNTJSCEp FROM PAGE l.

repeated fol several days that lie Sc
cured the $1,000 appropriation loF
Newberry College. The truth OF the
matter is an attorney was paid S4,oO0
for getting the money from The GOV
erument, and this amount was takeii
out of the appropriation. yet Latimer
is claiming it. You can't fool all The
people all the timc,' said Col. john
Stone, and you better stop. Mr.. Lati-
mer's attitude with the Republicans
is such that when Postmaster General
Smith wanted rural route in South
Carolina he gave it to MS son, and
when he had TO remove that son or
send him TO another State. Smith
again came to Latimer and said: Have
YOU not brother-in-law?s and Clar-
ence Brown has the job to-day. Tie
told Mr.. Latimer that he should not
make an enemy out Of him, but pro.
posed to give him d little lit for tat.
1t was his loyalty to his people, his
love for their true interest that COM
pelled him to reject the absurd sub
treasury scheme. and that was why he
was removed from congress, and Latl-
mer was elected over him purely on
that issue. His heart is as true and
loyal to them as in the days OF yore.
His position on the trusts was cleal
cut and forcibly expressed. Time was
called, but there were cries OF 60 on
go on; Col. Johnstonc closed amid
great enthusiasm.
This finished the Senatorial contest.
and the meeting was turned over TO
Messrs. MCLAUGHLIN and Lever for one
hour longer. For hours afterward the
crowd was gathered on the streets IN
groups discussing the meeting in their
own peculiar way.

Some Hot Air Stories.

Every summer is the hottest, at
least that is the way it feels to the
man who is sweltering, but the cold
facts il such temperature may be so
designated, show that some seasons
are hotter than others, and particu-
larly that the hot weather OF last
week was not record-breaker. The
Columbia State says the records of the
local weather bureau ct1ice indicate
that June, 1899, July, 1887, 1899, and
August, 1900, all had longer continued
periods of heat and each period had
higher temperatures, than during last
week. In June. 1899, the hot weather
set in early with 81 degrees on the 9Th,
followed by 100, 1O2, l0l, l03, 80, 102,
but on the 10th the temperature
dropped to about 80 degrees. In July
of the same year, from the 18th to
the 18th, inclusive, the following con-
secutiye high temperatures were re-
corded; 9S, l02, los, l0l, l03, 96, af-
ter which the temperatures were still
in the nineties to the close of the
month. The July, 1887, period be-
gan on the 18th and ended on the 19th,
with the following consecutive high
temperatures: SO, 100, 102, 102, lC4,
lOI. However, August, 1900, gave a
hot spell'' record that it is hoped
will not soon be broken. The maxi
mum temperature during that month
never once fell below &C degrees, while
from the Sth to the 22d, the record
was as follows, on consecutive days:
e5, 102, 100, 103, SO, 10l, 100, 9S, SO,
100, 80, l02, l06, l04, l0l. 81, followed
by from 95 to 9S to the end Of the
month. The 106 recorded on the 18th
is the highest since the establishment
of the station in 1887. Compared
with the figures Just given we have
last weeks record as follows, in con-
secutive days beginning with the Sd
inst: 95, 101, 10I, 101, 100, 81. SO
that the man who says that last week
u-~s the hottest weather he ever eN-
pcrieuced has not lived here very long,
or else he was born since August. 1900.
