late William L. Trenholm, who was
comptroller of currency under tho
Cleveland administration. When the
officers reached the house Mrs. Tren-
holm protested bitterly, but it had Nd
effect, and every room was ransacked.
Nothing was found Great indignation
was expressed when it became known
tnat the house had been searched.
The only explanation Of the con.
stabulary is that a mistake was made
in the number of the street when ce:-
tain information was furnished. Prom
inent citizens have taken up the mai
ter, and it is said that committee
will be sent to Columbia to complain

sary work of this kind that precipitaI-
ed the Darlington war. Division Chief
Howie. who was carrying out the Ham

later to offer an apology, but she re.
fused to accept it.

In the event that two OF the prison
ers now on trial in Charleston for post
Office robbery are acquitted by the
United States court they will be rear

against them.
The nature of the charges has nc.
been made public. and the fact has
not been published locally, so as not
to prejudice the jury.
The government has proven that
number of postoffice safes were blown
open with dynamite. and the claim is
made that it was the WORK of profes'

were committed. In nearly every i'll

the burglars first made a haul IN
blacksmith shops, from which they Sc
cured tools to be used in wrccking the
vaults.
The contention Of the government
is that a gang of organized crooks HAD
headquarters in Columbia. from which
point the members were sent out to
the small towns under the guise Of
tramps. When the prisoners were
caught in Columbia some months ago
they had been rolling in wealth. Ac-
cording to District Attorney Capers,
who is conducting the prosecution for
the federal government, the haul is
the most important ever made in
South Carolina.

Woman Passes Bogus Checks.


"a mysterious woman in black
has caused sensation in WATERFORD.
S. J. Fennell, a farmer and lumbe--
man, residing near that place, was ar
rested a few days ago and placed in
Jail on the charge of forgery.
The mysterious woman, who IS de-
scribed as quiet and handsome, ap-
peared at the Farmers and Merchants
bank of Walterboro on Marcn and pre-
sented a check for s432, bearing thu
signature of W. O. Thompson, Jr.,
drawn on the Bank of Hampton in IA
vor of one of his married sisters,
whom she impersonated. She receiv-
ed the money without question.
Fennelrs connection with the case
is that he is said to have accompa-
MED tie woman from Walterboro to
Hampton, conversing with her the
preceding day. At Hampton, 1t is
said, she presented check for a sim
liar sum, but owing to some error pay-
ment was refused.
Fennell admits seeing her on the
train, but denies knowledge of her
identity.
Another mystifying feature of the
case is that the woman must have
known the extent of Thompson's de-
posits in the Bank of Hampton, and
also familiar with his signature.

AIimony. But No Divorce.

AlinOny, Eut NO DiVoTCS.
While the laws of South Carolina
prohibit the granting Of divorce, an
order filed in Charleston a few days
ago by Circuit Judge Watts makes it
necessary for Guissippc Del Guidice,
an Italian stevedore, to pay his wife
alimony amounting to SIS month.
Mrs. Del Guidice recently secured
an Injunction from the court restrain
ing the husband from leaving this
state with their child Del Guidice
was preparing to go to Italy, and was
anxious to have the custody of the
son.
In addition to the payment Of ali
mony the husband is restrained from
disposing of his property, pending the
final settlement of the family affairs.
Del Guidice has been ordered to sur
render the child to the Catholic pro-
tectory, in New York.
q Refuse to Cede Land for Depot.
In an opinion filed at Charleston,
Circuit Judge Watts set aside the re-
straining order heretofore granted IN
the suit of Mrs. Ann Riley and John
F. Riley against the Charleston Union
Station Company. Condemnation pro
ceedings were filed by the railroads
for possession of the Riley lands,
which were needed for passenger de-
pot site. This action was contested,
the Rileys going into court for an In
iunction. On the first hearing
Judge Watts granted an order re-
straining the Union Station Company
from seizing the lands, but after a
full hearing the first order was re-
yoked.
An appeal to the supreme court WILL
be taken by the Rileys and the case
will be fought bitterly through that
court. The Union Station Company
has already been organized and R. G.
Erwin, who is president, has announc'
ed that work on the building will be-
gin as soon as the company can get a
right of way through the Riley PROV
erty.

Three Great Blessings.

L have long had the feeling that three great
blessings may come into ones life without any
effort on his part. One is to be born in the
country, and one is to be born poor, and the best
of the three is to be born young. O, [ like warmth
and life and vigOr and zest and capacity to stand
up straight and hold your shoulders square and
face the world, with the windows of your soul all
wide open, ready to take in light and life and
beauty and Righteousness, too. I do not like to
see youth narrow and wrinkled and all worn out
with life's dissipation before life is fairly begun.
L like to stand here and be able to congratulate
you, as one who knows whereof he speaks, that
you represent an agricultural State,-rural COM
munities. Why, my friends, if you will just take
the lawyers, wicked as they are, and the clergy
men I had a brother who went astray and went
into the ministry, and the leading business men,
and our statesmen; take the educators and the
founders of educational institutions, and they
were born in farm homes, trained in country
schools, had to start down close to the ground,
and grow through hardships to an attitude that
makes us proud of the fact that they are bone
of our bone and flesh of our flesh, and that from
the hills they drew their strength-Hon. W. W.

A Day in June.

For a cap and bells our lives we pay,
Bubbles we earn with a whole souls tasking;
IT'S heaven alone that is given away,
lis only God may be had for the asking;
No price is set on the lavish summer,
And June may be had by the poorest conner.
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries the earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers
towers
And, cropping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers;
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslips s~tartles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in it's chalice,
And there's never a leaf or a blade too mean
To be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits at his door in the sun,
Atilt like a blossom among the leaves,
And lets his illumined being o'errun
With the deluge of summer it receives;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast futters and
sings;
He sings to the wide world, and she to her
nest
In the nice ear of Nature, which song is the
best?

Launfal."

sigYphus and the craze for Wealth.

In the pleasant days Of antiquity, when people
we're content to take life TRANQUILITY and worship
ped a race of gods and g~oddesses as easy-going as
themselves, a certain discontinued mortal, Sissy
plus by name, jealous of his papa-in-law (Atlas,
supporter of the universe), started out to achieve
a reputation for himself as fnancier and founder
of enterprises. He, however, quickly got into
trouble, being both rapacious and avid, so was
promptly ordered off to Hades for his sins. To
be energetic and grasping was then the surest
way to exasperate public opinion, for it was an
epoch when all reasonable people and even the
gods themselves asked for nothing better than to
sit in the shade and be comfortable.
In order to make his punishment coordinate
this ~culprits crime, he was condemned for all
eternity to shoulder a rock up a mountain side,
only to see it go bounding down into the valley
again as soon as he had got it laboriously to the
top.
This story and that of the hungry wight who
was always being tempted by good cheer just out
of reach crop up continually in the writings of
that day, both tales being amusingly illustrative
of the Greek spirit and an age when to enjoy
a cultivated leisure was considered as about the
summum bonum of existence.

been told that a race would one day spring up,
quite as civilized as themselves and possessing
far greater opportunities for cultivation and en-
joyment, every member of which, rich as well as
poor, would look upon weary Sisyphus's task as
the one reasonable and commendable occupation
for a gentleman.
Yet this view is almost universal in our land to-
day, where an all-prevading rustic of bank notes
abstracts mems minds SO completely from the
real aims of existence. Sisyphus is now held up

THE S OF WORK.

careful reading of our State exchanges
-, that no other commencement address de-
r-orod in North Carolina this year has been so
-;aoIv discussed as DR.. Walter II. Pages "Man
pbird the Plow" at the A. & M. College. 1t was
rIoa for thorough training of all labor; it was
forcefuI enunciation of the truth that it is the
the efficient workman, not the cheap workman,
ubo helps the State and helps society. To illus
+ra+o his point, DIR. Page drew a striking parallel
between Iowa and North Carolina, which we ex-
meet to give in our next issue. just now we wish
70 reprint the following paragraphs from the adj
dress. in which the gospel of work is so effectively
preached. There is hope for any young man who
accents the doctrine that "it is better to make
GOOD spIit-bottom chairs than be an unproductive
prominent citizen; )" or as DR.. Lyman Abbott
said in Richmond last month, cit is better to
pound an anvil and make good horseshoes than
pound & pulpit and make poor sermons" Here
are the words of DIR. Page:
"Of course no man can work properly with his
hands without working with his brain and his
heart also. Labor by mere main strength, a
mule or a donkey or engine can do. Your insti-
tuition, therefore, comes right down to the bottom
of the problem of life in North Carolina. Other
people ILIdS 1OO CLlC1L1SC4NCoS IL C4CJ 0GLLA III U
do so. Some may think that it is better to be a
jackIcg lawyer than a master carpenter. Some
may think that a lazy drone of a preacher is
better than a good blacksmith. Some may think
that a life of idleness makes a gentleman. Some
may think that to be an unproductive 'promi-
nent citizen is better than to make good split
bottom chairs. But you know better. You have
got away from all these decisions.
A man who makes a bad buggy or who builds
a poor house, scratches a poor farm, or does any
thing badly-he makes us all poorer. He pulls
down the level of our life. The only substance
that most men have is their labor. 1t is the most
precious substance that anybody can have-the
best gift of God. The man that wastes his labor
throws his own life away, and he wastes the time
and degrades the standard of all other men who
have to do with him. Every inefficient man is a
burden on the State.
On the other hand a man who does a thing
WeI-make a buggy, builds a house, breaches a
sermon, or tills an acre-he is the wise man and
the only wise man, and the only useful man in
the State. He is saved-he saves himself-he is
me only man worth saving. He is the only man
mat makes the community worth living in"
