For The Ledger.
Sensible Observations on the I'm
provement of Our Schools.

Mr.. EDITOR Being desirous
20 help the cause Of education in
our county, | would like to en-
courage and insist upon all our
teachers who possibly can, to at
tend our County summer school,
which begins at Lancaster Mon
day, the Sth of June, or the
State summer school which be.
gins at Rock Hill two weeks
later.
These schools are held for the
betterment Of our teachers, and
it is an advanced step in the
educational progress Of our coun-
try, that every live, energetic
teacher, who has the good Of his
nelghbor's children and the ad-
vancement Of the cause Of edu.
cation in our home land at heart,
should not fail to avail himself
Of.
Parents and trustees, see that
your teacher has a desire to do
better work and enough interest
in your children advancement
to attend one Of these schools; /;
and if you have not yet elected
a teacher, it would be we'll to
elect on condition Of attendance
on one Of these schools.
The teacher who tells you our
summer schools are no good, is
back number, and should not
be admitted to the care Of your
precious little ones for the teach
er who tries it, and does not de-
rive benefit from a summer
school, is undoubtedly too dull
20 teach.
l am sincerely sorry for the
the teacher who can attend one
of these schools ; and | pitv the
community that has a teacher
who does not try to keep pace
with the progress Of our times.
The average teacher will, |
think, derive as much practical
help, if not more, from our
County summer school but to
the advanced teacher, aud to
those who have been attending
our schools for years, and are
prepared for deep thinking, they
will find the course at Rock Hill
very helpful. The association,
too, with so many Of our best
and most cultured teachers,
should be an incentive to any
one to better work and higher
aims iu life.

Recommended To
Mercy Of Court,
Special to The State.

Camden, June 5.-After an
absence of two hours the jury in
the case of the State against James
Love and James Kelley, indicted
for the murder of Milton Clark,
returned with Il avcrdict of "gullty
of murder with recommendation
to mercy"
Judging by the crowd that fill
ed every available space of the
court house during the trial, 1t
was one that aroused public intcr-
est to greater extent than any
previous case has in many years.
This interest Is no doubt due TO
the awakening # pu5hc senti.
mcnt against the numerous homi.
cidcs that have occurred of late
within this county and State. and
especially the appalling number
that took place in Kcrshaw coun>
tY last December, when Young
Milton Clark died from the effects
of wounds received. Hudson, the
toll bridge keeper was foully
murdered, and negro was shot
down on Christmas eve IN the
principal business thoroughfurc of
Camden. Both Hudson and Clark
were young men of exceptionally
high character and of good rcpu-
tation.
The consensus of opinion ap-
pears to be that the conviction of
these young men marks the dawn
OF new era in these matters, and
that the kershaw county Jury, in
following the example set by the
lurics of other counties within the
last months, is demonstrating that
the people of South Carolina are
tired of the wauton spilling OF
blood, without due provocation.
of the best and most promising of
her sons, and that the general pub
lie safety demands that a stop he
put to it; that the Jurors who did
their duty, manfully and in ac-
col dance with their solemn oaths,
however painful that duty was,
cannot be too highly commended,
for they have rendered their conn
ty and State Il service which will
cause higher respect for the per-
sons and lives of others, and deter
many man from resorting to
violence and bloodshcd.

DEATH OF DIR. HILLS.
Practiced Dentistry in Washington for
Period Of Forty Years.

DR.. Thomas o. Hills, who for forty years
has practiced dentistry, in this city, died
today at his residence, 1921 New York ave-
nue. northwest. Five and a half years ago
DR.. Hills suffered a severe attack Of rheu-
matism, and was for eighteen months con-
fined to his home. The illness so begun
proved to be the ,forerunner of his death.
He was never able to resume his practice,
although at times he was well enough to go
out for ride or for a walk. From the be-
ginning of his attack Of rheumatism he
was a great sufferer. Bright's disease was
later developed, and it was from that COM
plant, together with the disease from which
he had previously suffered, that he died.
DR.. Hills was of the first dentists to
practice in this city. He was born in Alex
andria March II, 1888, and came to this
city when sixteen years of age. He became
a bookkeeper for the firm of Clagett, New
ton, May & Co., the predecessors Of Schus-
ter Bros, on Pennsylvania avenue He was
soon head bookkeeper Of that establish
ment When he was little more than
twenty-one he began the study of dentistry
under Dr. Bailey. shortly going to Balti-
more to take course in the dental de-
partment of the University Of Maryland.
that being the first school esta blished any
where for the study Of dentistry.
He was one of a dozen graduates in 1858.
and when he returned to this city the num-
Der of dentists practicing their profession
could be counted on the fingers of two
hands. From that day until his ill-health
forced his retirement he continuously prac-
ticed his profession. OF those who were
his contemporaries but three are now lIv-
ing-Drs. Smythe, Donaldson and McFar-
land.
Although entering the profession of dem
tistry in its early days. when SO much was
to be developed before it could reach it's
present state of advancement, DR.. Hills
was always known as occupying a fore
most position in keeping up with every de-
velopment Of the profession. Improved
methods and apparatus found in him a
prompt exponent.
DR.. Hills began his practice about forty
six years ago in the building which stood
on the present site of Ellis music store.
After some years he moved to the north
west corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
18th street, where he remained for twenty
years, or until sixteen years ago, when he
moved to the houe in which he died.
DR.. Hills numbered among his patients
many Of the men who have been foremost
in every walk of life. He was one of the
charter members Of the Dental Society OF
the District of Columbia.
He leaves three sons, Drs. G. L. and ]. B.
Hills, both of whom are dentists, and Mr..
P. B. Hills, an attorney at law.
The funeral will take place Wednesday
morning at 1920 o'clock, from the late
residence of the deceased. 1t will be strict
1y private. The interment will be In Oak
Hill cemetery.

BLOW AT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Refuses
to Grant q Charter.

PHILADELPHIA. May THE Pennsyl-
vania supreme court today affirmed rul-
ing OF the late Judge Arnold in which the
latter refused to charter Christian Sci
ence association. The proposed association
was Ito establish place for support of
public worship and to preach the doctrines
Of Christ Jesus as found in the Bible and
the Christian Science text book. Science
and Health Key to the Scriptures, Mary
Baker G. Eddy" Judge Arnold referred
the application for a charter to a master.
who. after hearing, recommended that
the charter be refused on the ground that
ut would be injurious to the community to
incorporate a group Of citizens who would
preach the doctrine that there is no such
thing as a contagious disease or any dis
ease. and practice the art of curing of what
are called contagious diseases by inaudfble
prayer, whether in the presence of the sick
or at a distance"
The masters opinion was Endorsed by
Judge Arnold. who filed an opinion refus-
ing the charter on the ground that the pur-
pose Of the association, as disclosed. was
improper and in violation of the laws.
which intended to prevent the practice of
medicine by non-qualified persons. The SUI
preme court today upheld this view and
Quashed the appeal.

partment and to allow members to dis
pose of the tickets to the same Such au-
thority and permission are now recon-
mended in his case by Chief Dutton. 1t
will probably be granted.

WANTS TO IMPORT LABOR.
Mr.. Bromley Informed of the Neces-
sary Course Of Procedure.

The immigration law of the last Congress
provided that where skilled laborers could
not be had in this country for any indus
try they could be imported. Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor, who has charge of this class
of work in the Treasury Department, was
visited today by Mr.. Bromley of Philadel-
phia, who contemplates starting large
plant for the making Of certain kind Of
lace. He will import the machinery for
the purpose, and claims that the skilled
labor necessary to operate the machines
cannot be had in the United States. He
has asked permission to import this labor.
He has been informed that he will have
to make formal application to the treasury
and prove his claim that he cannot get the
necessary labor. The provision in the new
law Is such broad one that the Treasury
Department will approach the first case
with care, by reason Of its Importance.
Under a broad construction of the law
skilled labor Of all kinds may be imported
into the United States If 1t be shown that
the labor cannot be had in this country.
