REWARD OFFERED
 BY THE GOVERNOR.

The Governor has offered reward of $500 for the arrest of Cornwall. He has a most attractive family, his wife having been Miss Sudie Cockrell previous to her marriage, which took place when she was very young. They have six children, five girls and a boy. the latter an infant. When Captain Cornwall told his wife goodbye he stated first that he was going to Walker county on business and would be back Tuesday. He showed such un- usual emotion on parting, however, that she questioned him, when he said that he might stay longer going somewhere for his health. Mrs Cornwall then begged to be allowed to accompany her husband but he told her 1t would be best for her to remain with their children. As time passed and she did not hear from Captain Cornwall, she became very uneasy fear ing that he was i'll and not guessing the truth until Wednesday, when the failure of the bank became known. Sympathy for her and for her little ones Is universal.

Our Sleeping Rooms.

A physician Of note says: We hear
a great deal Of talk about malaria
nowadays, but there is more malaria
to be found in most modern bedcham-
berS than anywhere else" Persons
who are moderately Intelligent on
other topics appear to have small
thought, or that very perverted, on
the subject of hygiene in their Sleep
ing rooms, and especially those occu-
pied by children. The ventilation Of
a bedchamber cannot be too carefully
attended to, and, as says Horace Mann
seeing the atmosphere is forty miles
deep all around the globe, it is a use
less piece of economy to breathe it
more than once" Yet nine mothers
out of ten will carefully close all the
windows, for fear of colds and night
air." and leave two or three children
to sleep in sitting atmosphere, and
see no connection between the colds,
throat troubles they have and the witt
ated air she compels them to breathe
night after night. Let the morning
air and sunshine into the bedroom as
soon as possible after the occupants
have arisen: and, il there is no sun
shine, and it is not raining, let in the
air. DO not make up beds as soon as
they are vacated. You may get your
house tidied sooner, but it is neither
cleanly nor healthful to snugly pack
up bed clothing until exhalations Of
the sleepers' bodies have been removed
by exposure to air.

Plymouth Rock in Danger.

Plymouth, Rock is in danger. The
people of Provincetown and the Cape
Cod pilgrim Memorial association
propose not only to erect a large stone
monument upon the spot where first
they trod," with a beacon light upon
it which will shine thirty miles out TO
sea, but to have the histories revised
so that they truthfully shall show
that the Pilgrims did not land first on
Plymouth Rock, but upon Province
town Rock, and that it was in Pro-
vincetown harbor the Mayhower found
a safe haven, and in that harbor the
famous compact" was drawn up Prob
badly if there were inhabitants on
Clark's island they, too, would put in
prior claim, and a Clark'S island
rock, for it is matter OF true history
that some Pilgrims landed there also
on their way from Provincetown to
Plymouth. This is not the worst.
The Boston Advertiser goes so far as
to intimate that what is now known
as Plymouth Rock was five miles away
from its present location when the
Pilgrims came to Plymouth. Worse
than this, that the people Of Plymouth
have carried rocks to the present
locality to keep up the tradition: and,
worse still. that they are accused of
selling successive Plymouth Rocks by
piecemeal for souvenirs, and Of moving
over new stone from neighborlng
pasture as fast as the old stone is
broken up" Thus one after the other
the old famailir traditions disappear.
1t has taken nearly three centuries to
dispose OF Plymouth Rock. In another
three centuries will it be shown that
there was no Provinctown rock, no
compact" no Pilgrims, no Maytlow-
er? And, consequently, that the
thousands Of spinning wheels, and
grandfather's clocks. and chairs, and
bedSteads, and samples, and stewpans,
and blue plates, and psalm books
which came over in the MaytloWer and
are now to be found in every well reg
ulated household FROM Eastport to
3uzzard's Bay are the handwork OF
ohe cunning, thrifty Yankee forgers?

4 Rural Police System.

The Georgia Agricultural Society.
in session in Athens recently, raised
the question of the adviSability Of
establishing a thorough and efficient
rural police system in Georgia. The
matter was suggested in the annual
address of the President, Mr.. White
head, who gave as reason for the
abandonment of the farms by many
intelligent and progressive men, the
inadequate protection to their women,
under the present condition of rural
affairs. Judge Emory Speer, who was
present as visitor, was called up to
speak, and protesting mis- inc0mpet-
ency to discuss agricultural topics,
proceeded TO develop the rural police
iuea. Among other things, he said
that the greatest danger to the rural
districts was the presence OF scatter
ing negroes Of q peculiarly brutal
character, descendants OF the lowest
and most beaStly OF African tribes.
These negroes, he said, were scarcely
more responsible than wild animals,
and needed to be held under the Strict
est surveillance. The idea Of holding
them in check by means of one sheriff
for each county, and an occasional
deputy is absurd, and what the coun-
ty needs is an efficient patrol, patens-
ed after the Texas ranger system. lie
thought there should be two or more
of these rangers, or rural police for
each township in a county and the
system should be SO developed that
criminals could be followed from the
moment Of the commission Of their
crime until their arrest. He suggest.
ed that such a system would go far to
doing away with all apparent necessi-
ty for mob law, and tle rural districts
could be made as sale as the towns.
The judges remarks produced a pro-
found impression upon the society and
there is probability that the rural
police idea will soon become an issue
in Georgia as it should in all oLici
Southern States.

Short Sermons.

Beware Of barkless dogs and silent
men.
Worry is bad bed fellow. Kick it
out.
1t takes a great man to manage a
small woman.
Always view scene with a mule
in it from the foreground.
1t is far better to be disappointed
in love than in marriage.
Any girl who marries to please her
folks usually gets the worst Of it.
The average man is good nurse
when it comes to nursing a grievance.
1t won't help your crop to sit on
the fence and count the weeds in your
neighbours field.
Never try to dispose Of wedding
presents if you would preserve your
confidence in friends.
The man who has the least charac-
ter is the one who is continually try
ing to have it vindicated.
Find man who has accomplished
anything in life and you have diScov-
cred one who attends strickly to his
own business.
Before confding secret to friend
it is well to remember your friend also
has friend and your friends friend
has a friend.

Brutally Murdered

Thursday a negro farm hand on a
place a few miles from Spartanburg
went to that city and reported the
finding Of the body Of negro living
out in and old field. Hundreds Of
negroes and many white men viewed
the corpse, but none identified it. The
negro met with an awful death. He
was struck in the back Of the head
with large rock or some heavy mis-
sile and the back of his skull was
crushed in a considerable distance.
His pockets were turned wrong side
outward and there was every evidence
of a cowardly murde: and robbery.
The head Of the victim rested on his
old felt hat and the blood and brains
Rad trickled through the cavity in its
rear, forming a pool on the ground.
The body had lain in the field a day or
Two. for there were signs OF decom-
position.

as to the thief. but no tangible proof
is forthcoming. Searches and inves-

'rhouah. Tf Maa Settled,

Every time Mr. Bryan or/any 0ns
who agree With him. says word aotuJ
the mouey question up goes a chorus
from the Republicans and the goio
bus Democrats that the money ques-
iion was definitely settled in the presl.
denti; | lection OF 1896 and 1900. II
this is so, why does the Republicans
and gold bug Democrats continue to
talk about the money question? II
,he question is settled even to their
liking. why don't they let it alone:
r Gently the Wall Street Journal said.
LAS it was IN the beginning OF the
wear. is now, and is likely to continue
to be during all OF 1903, the money
question is the one OF most vital I'M
portance. There is notuing III lhe
business situation as it presents ltselt
at this time, to prevent contlnaan,
of our national prt tsperity, except Tie
congestion Of the money market. due
to it's inability to expand as rapidly as
the trade and industries of the coun-
try"
The Commoner says the Journal ao-
dressed the banker when it reminds
them that the money question IS the
one of most vital Importance. When
other representatives OF Wall street
address the people, the people are as
sured that the money question IS a
dead issue. From the standpoint ui
these men the people should not tam
per with the money question. Th, y
should not discuss it. They shonlo
not insist upon having part IN the
arrangement Of our monetary system.
| But with the bankers it is different.
They are to be remined that the
money question is the one Of most
vital Importance" and they are to be
counseled to urge senators and repre-
sentatives in congress to see that this
question is disposed Of entirely IN line
with the vital interests Of the tnan
ciers. But when the Wall street
Journal admits that the money Ques
tion is the one Of most vital import
ance," with what reason does it assume
to draw tie line where the discussion
of this question may terminate? Doe:
it object to the bimetallists urging
their method of providing the country
with what they believe to be a sount
monetary system? Or does it insist
that all discussions with respect tt
this question of most vital import
ance'' be limited to consideration ol
the currency system proposed by thu
fnanciers and that participation il
that discussion be confined to the II
nanciers themselves? The Wall street
Journal has made a most interesting

minds that in the discussion Of oul
financial system the money question
cannot be separated from the none.

Worth Knowing.

Recently a resident Of Spartanburg
was arrested and tried and fined for
violation Of the postal laws and re-
gulations The fine, which was paid,
was $40. The party violated section
4S4 OF these laws. The following is
the clause of the section which was
violated: ANY person who shall
knowingly conceal or enclose any mat
ter Of a higher class in that Of lower
class. and deposit or cause the same
to be deposited for. conveyance by
mail at less rate than would be
charged for both such higher and low
er class matter, shall for every such
be liable to penalty of sl0."
The fine was paid. There are many
people who do not know OF the ex-
iStence Of such a law. The offense
which occasioned this fine was the
mailing Of photograph and letter
inside wrapper Of newspaper,
which bore one cent stamp.

Will Get Commission.

The State says: Under an order
issued by Secretary of War Root the
first honor graduate Of the Citadel
hereafter will be eligible each year to
admission to the regular army of the
United States as second lieutenant.
This order means much TO the Citadel
Graduates Of the Citadel have often
sought commissions in the army and
in competitive examinations many of
them have secured appointments, but
there has never before been within
the institution itself an opportunity
to secure a commission such as is now
offered by the order OF the secretary
of war. The order is evidence of the
high merit in which the institution is
held and it is believed that it will
have an excellent effect upon the
academy

Thief Captured His Captor.
When Butchered.

q Albert EckIund, alias George John
son, who was captured at Rawlins and
was being taken back to Chicago to
answer to the charge Of grand larceny
effected remal kable escape from De-
tective William Marsden. MarSden
left Rawlins "Wednesday night with
Ecklund, and to make sure OF his man
shackled him to seat in the Srnok-
ing compartment OF a chair car.
While Marsden was sleeping beside
his prisoner Ecklund went through
the detective pockets, secured the
keys to the shackles, released himself
and then shackled the officer to the
steam pipes. Having received the
officers weapons and other property,
Ecklund left the train at LARAMIE.
MarSden was not awakened by the
conduc:: T until Cheyenne was reached
when he called for assistance. AS
Marsden had absolutely nothing on
his person to prove that he was not d
prisoner, the trainmen would not re-
lease him. The railroad authorities
teleprapned to Chicago for instruc-
tions. and when the train reached
Syndey Malsden was finally released
from bis predicament.

The Way to Look At It.

Editors of newspapers published in
large cities can sit in their offices sur
rounded by a great population and
write editorials condemning the
lynching Of black brutes who assault
white women, but as the Crowford-
ville Democrat puts it, the fact is
they do not understand or appreciate
the condition in the rural districts Of
the south. Wives and daughters
are forced daily to 90 about
their homes unprotected while
fathers and brothers are away
in the fields toiling for there daily
bread. The triflIng. impude..t scoun-
drel steals up to the unprotected home
and with bis polluted touch despoils
the sacredness Of one happy home.
And to attempt to wipe out such a
crime by the life Of the fend by
strong bands is one Of the first duties
of southern manhood. Yes, we say
it with out hesitation and with full
knowledge Of the meaning Of these
words, that the brute should be given
no quarter-and when he has paid the
penalty, placard his dirty carcass with
the sworn fact that thus shall the
sacredness Of our homes be protected
against feuds incarnate." Preachers
may preach and writer's may write
till the end or time, but the newt
able truth remains that just SO long
as assaults continue just SO long will
lynchings prevail The virtue of one
pure white girl is worth more to
human kind than all the lives Of the
black brutes who have lived since the
world began In writing what we
have about this matter we want it dis
tinctly understood that it is not
through ''race prejudice" We have
the utmost respect for the law-abid-
ing and energetic colored man. We
hope to be of service to him in better
ing his condititn. He is here
through no fault of his, and we
would ever assist him in being hap
pier and more contented with bis lot.

Tic Work. that the flicEnWeil Or
phanase Is Doing for Children.

The Thornwell orptanage, located
in Clinton, South Carolina, is an in,
stitution for the primary, high school
and advanced education, both literary
and technical, of orphan boys and
girls. The institution is under the
control OF trustees appointed by the
three Synods of South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida, but it receives pu oils
from any religious denominations and
from any part of our common coun-
try.
Orphans to be received must be
without means of support of their
own, and hence the care of them rest
upon the general public. Contribu-
tions for the aid of the institution are
not ordered by any church court; there
are no agents canvssing the field ask
ing for money; there are no collection
boxes on the premises Of the institu-
tion. The only dependence of these
orphans fer their daily bread is on
the goodness of God. the printed page
and the generous help given by the
press in spreading information about
the work.
The boys and girls are not legally
bound to the Institution, but are free
to come and go. They choose to come.
They hate to leave US even when all
has been done for them that can be
done by the institution. AS they are
well taught in their books and trained
in various trades, such as printing,
carpentry, farming, laundering and
the like, they are able to take care of
themselves on leaving US.
We have 102 orphans from South
Carolina, - from Georgia, 10 from
Florida and II from twelve other
states and territories.
Those who love the fatherlesS (all of
oar 200 children are fatherless) can
aid by sending flour, molaSses, sugar,
rice, meal, or any other kind Of pro-
visions except vegetables (which they
raise for themselves) or by gifts OF
money. The sum Of five dollars will
board and clothe chill for one month.
Almost anybody can by that small gift
be protector of some orphan for
thirty days. This may be sent simply
to Thornwell orphanage, or TO Rev.
DR.. jacobs, Clinton, S. c., who will
take pleasure in giving additional in
formation to any asking for it.

Back to Their Tents.

Charleston says when the German
Artillery went into camp, pitching
their tents directly in front Of what
was known as the wnmanS building
during the exposition, they decided
they would not sleep under their
tents, the grass being wet, and slept
in the house When Capt. L. F.
Foster, U. S. A., arrived in camp
Wednesday and found that the artil-
lerymen had their baggage in the
Big House" he gave orders for them
to move into their tents, which they
did in short order. The soldiers slept
under their tents Wednesday night for
the first time 1t rained hard all
night long but they had to face the
weather. In some Of the tents water
rose very high and tloated off some OF
the baggage of the soldiers.
