Mr.. Spencer Dism 10 ;es the Case
TODAY

The case brought by the police against
May Frizell, charging her with main
tanning q disorderly house, was dismiss
ed in the district court this morning by
City Attorney Spencer.
The complaint against the Frizell wo-
man was issued May %. but the arrest
was not made until July 4. The police
waited until a time when they thought

and better evidence. The ruling of the
supreme court that testimony subSe-
quent to the issuance of the complaint
left the case without any foundation .

Slate Summer School.

H d.
The State Summer School for Teachers
will be held at Winthrop College, Rock
Hill, 3. O., from June 23d to July 21st.
Winthrop College is an excellent place
for such school because of the splendid
equipment, accessible libraries, reading
rooms, and extensive accommodations.
Arrangements have been made for board
ing in the college and this gives the
South Carolina Summer School quite an
advantage over some others, because the
teachers are conveniently located and
can enjoy better advantages.
Courses of study have been provided
in pedagogy, school supervision, elocu-
tion and reading, grammar, literature,
rhetoric, library work, drawing, sight
singing, music, history, geography,
arithmetic, algebra, geometry, obserya-
tion work, nature study, botany and
school gardening, manual training and
kindergarten principles. Some Of the
ablest teachers of the State and nation
will take part In this work and large
attendance is anticipated.
a. special feature of this school will be
q series of addresses by some of the most
effective platform speakers available and
some work will be done looking to the
educational campaign which has been
planned for the summer. A meeting of
County Superintepdents and other cam
paigners will be held during the session
of the summer school.
In addition to tho regular courses of
work by the teacher students there will
be lectures intended for such students as
desire some recreation as we'll as work.
Quite number of teachers, after hard
years work, do not desire regular study,
hence this arrangement.

& Dear Sir: You naturally want to make
your own, and your customers money 90
as far as possible. So, in the general fn-
Deyoe Lead and Zinc will paint q house
than mixed paints. +
K Let's suppose you are using lead and
Oil. Instead Of lead and oil you put in
four-ffths whiting, lime, water and other
stuff that doesn't paint at all. Put that
against q gallon of lead and oil, and what
will 1t dop One-fifth as much.
How much of youf labor is wastedp
Four-ffths. How good job will it
will it do you in your business to turn
out such a job2
And so on.
Deyoe Lead and Zinc paints a house
with fewer gallons than mixed paints,
and wears twice as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
Il. w. Devoe & Co., New York.

KeOwes a Raging Torrent.

Old Pickens, June 6.--Editors Keowee
Courier: Keowee and Little rivers,
owing to heavy rain falls above, have
been higher than ever before within the
recollection of the Oldest inhabitant.
The iron bridge at Old Pichens, except q
short san on the Piokens side, was
swept away. Thousands OF logs on their
way 60 tho boom of Benedict-L Love Co..,
large trees washed up by the roots, i'm
mense quantities of debris and trash
covered the impetuous current of the
madIy rushing Keowee, which was one
half mile wide in places. The bottom
lands on both sides the river were COM
pletely inundated.
The same is true of Little river. The
bridge at High Falls was completely
demolished and FIVE houses on the banks
OF the river near that place were washed
away. So sudden and rapid was the rise
In the river that the inmates of the
houses barely had time. TO escape, and
from one they did not escape. This one,
before the occupants knew it, was sur
rounded by water and was soon borpe
kins and wife and three children. The
house began to move down the river
about daylight Saturday morning and at
10 O'Clock the man was found sitting in
a tree above the raging current and was
rescued one mile from where the house
started. The woman and children werS
doubtless drowned.
am informed that the bridges across
Little river at the burnt lanyard and
Morgan's are gone, also the two bridges
across Cane creek on the roads leading
from here to Seneca. The bridge across
Keowee at Nimmons's is said to be dam
aged to some extent on the Pickens side.
The down-pour OF rain was not so
heavy here, but all Friday night the ele-
ments were luminous with electricity
accompanied by tremendous roaring of
constant thunder Little damage was
done here to uplands, but much of the
bottom lands, which were mostly planted
in corn, will have to be replanted. Some
bottom lands were injured by washing,
while others were immensely benefited
by the deposits left.
The dreadful famines In the East, des-
truotive floods In the West and fearful
cyclones in the North and South all re-
mind us of Omnipotence and indicate
the wrath of God. Truly "The Almighty
Jehovah rideth upon the whirlwind and
spealxeth in the voice Of thunder from
the Clouds" g.
