Several Sorssh Carolina edito ,s
are advocating quick return to
the free use of the rod at home
and in school. The recent exhi-
bitions of youths in public schools
have demonstrated that they have
been permitted an injurious free
dom of conduct ut home; have
been placed under little or no
restraint and while yet in knee
breeches consider their dignity of
vastly more Importance than good
manners or morals. There are
people who are now questioning
the wisdom Of Solomon, but the
old fellows ideas in regard to
the application of the rod still
have a respectable following. =

Columbia Record, 21st.
Both Judge Klugh and Solicitor
Thurmund have advised against
the communication of the sentence
of Winter Cantey, sentenced to
hang Friday, week for the mur-
der of Eliza Kershaw, and ac-
cordingly the governor will refuse
to take action in the matter. The
petition was returned by the Judge
and solicitor today and Judge
Klugh wrote that while hn felt
pity for the negro he was satisfied
that the evidence was more then
sufficient to convict and that the
sentence of tic court shOnld stand.
Solicitor Thurmond wrote 'hnt
the evidence showed that the
murder was Il horrible one aud in

ness. The action of the governor
therefore is in accordance with
the recommendation of the court

no time since Cantey has been
confined has he shown any fear
and he appears to be resigned to
his fate.

THE CITY BANK OF GREENWOOD
HAS CLOSED ITS DOORS.
Greenwood, May 20.-The
City bank of this place suspended
today. The news was as astoInd-
ing as it was unexpected.
The only reason given for the
suspension is that the bank had
sustained losses recently and the
president was not willing to obli-
gate the bank further.
The directors held a meeting at
2 O'Clock this afternoon and called
a meeting of the stockholders to
be held Monday morning at 10
o'clock. They also stated that
the depositors and creditors would

A NEGRO SHOT DOWN.

Greenville, May 90. Last
night at the store of Goldsmith
Bros, colored, in the Wright
block on Main street, Birch Sui
livan was almost instantly killed
by lsadore Thomson, who fired
upon him with shotgun loaded
with buckshot, which entered tie
neck and sevred the carotid artery.
Both are negroes, and the trouble
between them arose from the Sc.
duction of Thompson's daugh' er,
who gave birth to a child several
weeks ago, claiming that Sullivan
was the cause of her ruin. Her
father rented tie shotgun from a
hard store in the West End,
alleging that be wanted to shoot
dog, and would keep the gun
two or three days. Sullivan has
been absent from the city during
the past month, and it Is said that
he was armed with n pistol to meet
an expected attack from Thomp-
son, who entered the store from
side door on North street and
without saying a word ired the
fatal shot, making his escape
through the side door
Thompson surrendered this
morning to Sheriff Gilreath of his
own accord and is now in jail.
He has borne good reputation in
the community and his family was
among the better blass Of negroes.
Sullivan accomplished the ruin of
two other colored girls of respect
able parentage, one of whom he
married recently.

ORDERS ARRESTS
FOR ATTACK ON CONSUL
Five Prisoners Taken at Beirut as First
Step in Punishment of Band Who
Shot at Magelssen-Minister Leish-
man, Backed with Warships, Will
Force Satisfaction for Other Ofenses.

coNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 1.-The Porte has notified Minister Leish-
mar that Ave arrests have been made Vt Beirut in connection with the shoot
ing which led to the report. that William c. Magelssen, the United States
Vice and Deputy Consul there. had been assasdnated.
The Turkish officials continue to insist that 10 attempt was made on
the Vice Consuls life, and they reassert that the whole story originated in
a .eu-dejoie fred on the occasion OF a native marriage and in accordance
with custom.
Mr.. Leshman. however. refuses to accept such al explanation without
conclusive proof that the judicial investigation continues.
The attempt 20 burn the American College at Kharput occurred five
weeks ago and. apparently. a the work OF al individual who considered
he had a grievance against the college authorities.
When MIR. Leishman was Informed of the attempt he demanded that the
Porte protect the American institution, and in consequence of his represen-
tatons. instructions were sent to the authorities a Kharput to try in the
regular courts tc carges against fifty Armenians accused Of traWck.hs in
arms und engaging in other sedhious acts.
Among the accused is Prof. Tenekedjan. of the American College,
whose treatment in prison pending his trial as also ordered to be i'm
proved.
Mr.. Leishman Is pressing for a definite settlement OF a number of mat
tiers O N which agreements werer reached with the Turkish authorities last
year, but which, in spite of frequent promises on the part of the Porte, have
never been executed.
Diplomatic circles here generally approve of the energetic action Of the
United States, which, it is pointed out, is amply justified by the bad faith
of Turkey, and 1t is felt here that the appearance Of the United States war
ships in Turkish waters will lead to the immediate settlement of the pending
disputes.

FOUND OUT
What a Mother Found Out Atoat Food.

A mother found out what a change
Of food can do for a whole family,
from the nursing baby to the adults,
in this way: Twice during the sum
mer months my baby was taken vio-
lently Ill and was very slow getting
over the attacks. His former diet
of cows milk alone ceased to agree
with him, so I combined 1t with an
expensive infants food, but he soon
became very much constipated.
Then I shifted to Grape-Nuts food
and found that this was just what
baby needed, adding 1t to his milk
after softening in hot water. Baby
has thrived upon this food and is
now healthy and strong and chubby
as any mother could AK. which you
know Is saying a great deal.
st did not take me long to find
out that q saucer of Grape-Nuts and
cream Is Just what Is needed by the
tired, nervous mother, and | have also
proved to my own satisfaction that
when the children are old enough to
chew Grape-Nuts 1t is far better for
them than oatmeal or any other
mushy foods, for 1t develops their
teeth and helps their digestion and
their minds eem much brighter and
more active. too.
