Night With Governor Hill.
PASSES THROUGH THREE STATES
Makes Eight Speeches and Is cheered
In Many Towns During the Days
Trip-Urges Reciprocal Trade Re-
lations With Cuba.

Augusta, Me-, Aug. 27.-President
Roosevelt yesterday passed through
three states, delivered eight speeches
and received the plaudits of a quarter
OF a million people. The greeting
which has marked his progress
through New England has been latter-
ing in the extreme and yesterdays. ex-
perience demonstrated his popularity
perhaps more than ever before.
Everywhere at the regular stops and
the smaller stations along the road
the people were strenuous in their
efforts to catch a glimpse of him, or
hear him speak, and at Haverhill.
Mass, this desire. assumed such a
form that the crowds completely over
rode the police and surrounded the
presidents carriage, making it diff.
cult for it to advance. The days
Journey was not without its incidents.
AS the president was about to board
his car at Lawrence, Mass, after de-
aiyering his address, the leader Of the
band stepped up and made himself
known to him. He said his name was
Banan, a former cowpuncher and bar.
Der at Medora, N. D., where the presi.
dents ranch is located. The president
Immediately recognized and greeted
him as an old friend.
At Lowell the president discussed
the needs of Cuba and urged recipro-
cal trade relations with the new re
public. 49, 49,,
While on his way through the
streets Of Portland his carriage was
stopped and he was presented with
an album containing views of the
city. He stood up in his carriage and
briefly thanked the donor, Captain c.
F. Dam. He has been the recipient Of
many floral gifts, and where the ad.
mirers were unable to get neal enough
personally to hand them to him, they
threw them owe the heads of the
< crowd into his carriage. Conspicuous
among those who boarded the train
at Old Orchard to extend a welcome
to the president was Congressman
Littlefeld of Rockland. His visit was
brief and the conversation turned on
other subjects than trusts.

Smith. Mr.. Payne accompanied the
president to Lewiston. Some arrange
ments were made which were not on
the itinerary. At Lisbon, Lisbon Falls
and Brunswick, Me-, immense crowds
gathered and the president, in re.
Spouse to their clamorous calls, was
obliged to appear on the rear plat.
form and say a few words. Although
the day had been a particularly hard
one on him, the president gave but
slight signs Of fatigue. Last night he
was the guest of Governor Hill, who
met him at the depot and escorted him
ito his residence, where the president
made a short address.
The governors house has become
historic, because Of the fact that 1t
was the home of James G. Blaine, and
the president occupied last night the
identical bedroom used by that states.

Bambery TRADED School.

The graded school closed last Friday,
after very successful year. The enroll
ment for the year was 234, and at times
the capacity of the building was taxed to
its utmost to accommodate all who came:
The enrolment increases each year, and
the need of new building becomes more
pressing each session:
There were three girls who completed
the ninth grade on the full course pre-
scribed for the school and received GER
tificates. These were Misses Lucille Folk,
Julia Rice, and Gwendolyn Risher.
Every year Mrs. Murdaugh gives a
prize or medal to the pupil in her room
who makes the highest percentage in at.
tendance, and also one to the pupil
making the best average in scholarship.
Mary Nevils, who had not been late or
missed a single day, received the first
prize. Eugene Stokes received the gold
medal for Scholarship. The only other
pupil in the whole school who had not
missed a single day was Pinckney Bel
linger of the third grade.
All the teachers are likely to be here
another year except Miss Bertha Wells,
who declines reelection.

Another Negro Lynched.

Cain Ford, a negro who was confined
in Jail at Walterboro, charged with being
concerned in the murder of Mrs. Jones,
was taken from the deputies last Friday
night and shot to death. After the kill
ing of Jim Black, the Sheriff of Colleton
county had fears that Ford would be
lynched also, so he had his deputies take
the negro from Jail and start for Columbia,
driving through the country by way OF
Georges. They had not gotten far from
Walterboro when they were over powered
by mob and the negro taken from them.
This crowd it seems, after attempting to
make the negro confess, tied him to a
tree and left him where he was found by
the deputies. They again started on
their way with the prisoner and second
time he was taken from them. This time
Ford was tied to tree and riddled with
bullets

HARTzoG, June 9.-We are glad to say
that two of our young ladies have re-

is still working for the Epworth League.
Nav he be successful worker, and make
an example for our many young men. If
anything in the likeness of League can
help our church we hope that 1t will be
worked to a great advantage, as the
people, not the church, needs good re-
minding of what is important in present
life.
Mr.. H. A. Carter and Mrs. Biddie
HERS visited friends in our midst yester-
Gay.
1t seems as if the summer showers have
started now. They fall daily, and in a
few days, if they continue the same,
General Green" will wave his green flag
over the many fields which are so fine
now, but farmers, we do not plow to kill
grass.
The warm weather has checked our
singing notion. 1t is hard work to fan
and sing, hut we ought not to give up.
"If at first We don't succeed, try again
until we do" We may sing near the close
of day when the lamp may be lighted and
all may see to sing so their melodious
voices may strike where lamp light does
not.
Blackberries and the "huckles' have
put their black and blue to the surface,
and the Misses have started on their
berry strolls."
Our ball practice was broken up by the
shower in it's most exciting period Satur-
day afternoon. "Good eye" boys, "prac-
tice makes perfect"
Some of our farmers are putting their
last furrows in the corn fields, while
others are still crossing the ridge.
We soon expect to see the candidates
on their pleasant way, but all that travel
in the Hartzog section will be men from
other neighborhoods or from towns. Our
men are each for number one and politics
and this will not work together, as it is
said 'it has been tried" j. W. X.
