CHAPTER XIV.
CONTINUED.

"Ef yell shet erp yer mouth,
gin'r'l, an quit er botherin' me wi
Yer talk, I'll do it yit!" cried the
scout, with peevish fretfulness in his
voice. "Mary Ann cayn't stan no
sich jawin' es this var at yer a-sivin'
usl Go on erbout yer own business
an le' me erlone!"
The general probably did not hear
these words; but If he did he made no
response, for Peeyy was privileged
character.
Mr.. Vernon stood mute and notion
less, his eyes fixed upon that desper-
ate horseman.
''Order your men to shoot at that
officer-that renegade yonderl" Jack
son stormed in the old mans ear.
Mr.. Vernon made no response, but
turned and walked away.
Just then the batteries and the rifles
of Carroll's men all roared out as one.
A level food OF destruction poured
across the ditch. For few moments
the smoke enveloped the American
line so that nothing could be seen.
Still the marksmen had the range and
kept on firing by guess, doing fright
full havoc.
When the cloud lifted, the whole
British army had melted away. All
over the level field lay heaps and
windrows of the slain. A few scattered
redcoats shone in the distance, their
wesrers in precipitate fight. Broken
cannon, tumbled fascines and crushed
ladders marked the struggling route
of the British Forty-fourth Regiment,
which had been assigned to the duty
of making the ditch crossable. One
company, not far from the river, was
seen irving to reform, although half
of its men were already dead and the
living ones nearly all wounded.
The rider who had been so boldly
conspicuous was urging his sorely
crippled horse away across the field
toward the wood. He still had the
reins in his teeth, while both arms
dangled at his sides.
The terrible thirty-two-pounder was
fred once more, and the horse went
down, torn into shreds; but up rose
that dark, determined cavalier and
steadily continued his retreat on foot.
A yell of admiration burst forth
from the victorious Americans as they
gazed.
Then a still stranger sight met their
eyes. A tall old man, who had climbed
over the breastworks from the Ameri-
can side, set off at tottering but
sipgularly swift gait in the direction
of the British lines. When ne reached
the fatal ditch, beyond which the
ground was heaped with slain, he
ioundered through it and arose,
muddy and dripping, on the farther
bank. There ne paused for moment,
wiped the ooze from his face and then
went right on.
1t was Max Burns, the preacher.
And who was that little man running
after him? The onlookers had scarce
ly had time to make out before the
cloud of smoke settled down again
and hid both from view.
Mr.. Vernon stood like grim statue
while this was going on. Very well
he knew what it was that impelled
both Burns and Vasseur.

State superl,tendent's Report.

Superintendent Of Education Martin
is preparing his report to the Legis'
lature, and while statistics have not
been received from all counties a
pretty accurate idea of the school
population as to races is obtainable.
The negroes constituting the larger
part of the population have the largest
school enrolment, but the proportion
is not perhaps larger than that CT the
whites, when population is considered.
Tie total enrolment for the year
shows a large increase. it being 2S6,s92
against 24S 400 for the previous year.
OF the total for 1903 the white pupils
number 1905 and the colored 153.-
21G. The figures for 1902 we're 12e.'

WINTHROP COLLEGE REPORT.
Good Work Being Done by This
School for Young Women.

Thetruytees Of Winthrop College
met in Columbia last week to prepare
the annual report to be submitted to
the general assembly and to suggest
budget of appropriations necessary
to carry the college through next
year. Among those in attendance
were: Gov. Hayward, President john
son. Mr.. John E. Brezeale of Anderson,
Superintendent o. B. Martin, iPro1'
Joyner. Senator G. w. Brown and Mr..
D. w. McLaurin.
The following is a synopsis OF Presl-
dent Johnson's annual report:
Winthrop College has begun It's
ninth session with the largest enroll
ment in it's history. The enrolment
in the college classes since the open
ing. Sept. 16, is 474. There were 79o
applicants for admission. A gratifying
feature in connection with the admis-
sion of new students this session Is
the fact that comparatively few waited
until the opening Of the session to
stand the entrance examination. Most
of the applicants stood the entrance
examination held at the county court
houses July 10 or came up with cer'
tificates from accredited schools. 1t is
very much to the interest OF pros
pective students to stand this county
examination and it is hoped that IN
time all new applicants not from ac-
credited schools will do so and thus
be saved the expense of travelling TO
and from the college and the north
cation Of being sent home IN case OF
failure to enter.
The enrolment in the model schools
and kindergarten thus far this season
is 1879, making the total number In all
departments cared for by the college
593.
Every county in the State is repre-
sented in the enrolment.
The following is the enrolment by

officer. "He feels as big as a drum

"Silence, sir, or I'll have you

"You could not gag hen!' sneered

The lieutenant whipped out his

The face of the officer paled as sud-
denly as it had Redeemed. He stood

Loring responded with lofty indif-
ference, and turing to Mrs. Vernon

sarafofr Reaches Home.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 16.-Boris Sa- rafoff, leader of the Macedonian revo- lutionists, has arrived here and was re- ceived at the railway station by thou sands of persons, who brought laurel wreaths and flowers and acclaimed Sa- rafoff as national hero. The Macedo- nian leader presented picturesque ap- pearance. His beard was unkempt, his hair hung in locks, and his features were weather beaten. He declared that the revolutionists were not only uncon- quered, but that their work was just now beginning. Sarafoff spent nine months in Macedonia. His life was one of constant peril, and he slept mostly in the open air. He went to Monastir with a band of sixty, of whom only eight survive. He declined to discuss his future plans.

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
City Railway Go Runs Cars on One
 Route.

City Railway Go Runs Cars on One
 Route.
 CHICAGO, Nov. Io.-A victory, tenn porary at least, has been scored by the management of the Chicago City rail- way against its striking employees. From early in the morning until dark the company succeeded in maintaining a regular service on its Wentworth avenue line, which extends from Sev- enty-ninth street to the downtown dis trict, a distance of eight miles. The first car manned by newly hired non- union crew left the car barns, guarded by dozen policemen, at 8 o'clock and was followed four minutes later by another train.
 Twenty-Five cars in all were put into the service but the schedule was fre- quently interfered with by delays caused by Instructions being placed on the tracks and the inexperience of the men in charge of the cars. The most serious trouble occurred during the morning, when a number of arrests were made, and clashes between the police and the crowds that lined the SIICCtS nSlC llCQuCnI, duu " AC1 AdA ness set in it was not considered safe to send more cars from the barn. The last car returned to the barns at 4:30 o'clock, and after 1t had been safely housed the day's work came to an end. More arrests were made during the day than at any time since the strike was declared.
 According to the officials of the com pany an attempt will be made today to operate some of the other lines of the system if the police department can supply protection. Enough nonunion men have been secured, it is said, to extend the service in all directions if police aid is forthcoming, but this, 1t is claimed, is impossible, as the city has been taxed to the limit to protect the Wentworth avenue line alone. If it is found impossible to open up any of the other lines this morning all the efforts of the company will be confined to the Wentworth avenue line, and the regular schedule will be inaugurated if possible.
 As far as known, no further attempts have been made by either the officials of the company, the striking employees or the state board of arbitration to bring about conciliatory settlement of the troubles, and the indications are for a protracted struggle.
