burn in flames six feet high, as in
certain English streams"
The fearful contamination Of the
rivers and smaller streams in Eng
land and upon the continent, result
ing from the sewage in available
water courses, forced England in self
protection to pass very stringent laws
against the emptylng of sewage and
other noxious materials from manu-
featuring establishments into any of
the streams of the country. The old
ways of sewage purifcation by chem
lcal means in large vats or filtration
covering large surface areas proved
too costly and consumed too much
time. Under this stimulus science
and invention have brought to the
front the sceptic tank system. And
thou h many of it's best features are
patented, thus rendered costly, and
will probably be greatly improved in
the future, still 1t seems with it's
many advantages to present the best
up,to date plan for the disposal of
sewage, especially for all interior
cities and towns. 1t also simplifies
the building of sewer systems, as it
will no longer be necessary to have
one continuous system, with deep
outs and expensive works to connect
all portions Of the city with the main
sewer that may have to be carried
some distance seeking a suitable out
let. The system may be cut up into
as many separate departments as ad-
visable, each one with it's own scep
tic tank. The small building neces
sary for the tank would not attract
any attention, and there need be no
fear of it's being nuisance to ada
cent property, whether used for bust.
ness or dwelling purposes.
With the exception of manhole
in the receiving vat, that can be
opened if necessary, but is sealed up
air tight, there is no opening for
the escape of either gas or odor.
The sewage enters at one end of the
building, directly from the sewer
pipe, and after purifcation energies
through an escape pipe at the other
end--clear water, free from all odor.
The commissioners, after careful
consideration, upon the recommends
tion of Engineer G. G. Beddoes, hav-
ing adopted the sceptic tank system
for the sewage disposal, and having
seen its successful action 80 far, now
feel satisfied that the future will ap-
prove their selection and justify their
action. James McIntosh.

SKETCHES BY EX-CONEED,
He Writes of People Of Ante-Bcllum
Times.

MIR. John Davenport taught school
at Mt. Zion in 1854. He was the
father of MIR. j. l.. G. Davenport.
Mrs. Mary Werts taught in 1855.
"A. M. Anderson Taught in 1856. My
recollection ia that he was from the
lower part of the State. He was a
fair teacher but had his favortes in
school and some Of the students were
treated very badly One boy took
especial pleasure ia furnishing music
for the daily dance; the boys mother
Ga widow Henally) heard Of the daily
performance and concluded she would
take a hand, and when she left the
schoolhouse Mr. Anderson was n
cheap looking man. MIR. John John
son taught in 1857. Mr.. johnson
was an excellent teacher. He went
west afterwards, and was in the Con
federate army and visited the 3D.
Regiment near Draunsville, Va, in
1861. In 1858 50 our school inter
est WAS changed from Mt Zion to
near Samuel Spearman's place in
No. 8 Township. This change gave
this scribe Il walk of nearly four
miles to school, making a walk Of
3 miles each day besides the daily
dance. Mr.. e. p. Chalmers was the
teacher and was considered by the
patrons one Of the best teachers of
his day; but | am frank to say that
if teacher of this day and time
would treat the children as Mr.. Chal
mers did his students, there would
certainly be a dance right. 1 was
whipped each day. If l was doing
right | was whipped; if | did wrong
l was whipped; it did not make any
difference, l was whipped every day.
One day at noon some charges were
made against me. These charges [
proved to be false. Then he whipped
me. told him again tho charges
were false and he beat mo. [ told
him again the charges were false
and really thought he would kill
me. WAS an orphan boy and had
to take what was given me. I was
now Is years old, and the year 1859
closed my school days. I do not
mean to reflect on Mr.. Chalmers.
He was a good citizen and intended
to do right, but tho patrons wanted
the teachers to fog the children and
their wishes were carried ont.
In 1862 Mr. John Reedor taught
at Mt. Zion, and Mr.. w. ID. Recder
followed him in 1868. The last
named was a whippor and had quite
time with the boys; they resisted,
blow for blow, and that was stormy
year for the teacher. With these OK

REMARKABLE TURN IN KING CASE.
Man Wanted In Florence for Murder Of
Sam Rogers, Who Was Captured
In Denmark.
(The State. }

Denmark, S. O., February 12.-
VIM. @. King, wanted in Florence
County for the killing of Sam Rogers
and the wounding of James Rogers,
was caught here today.
The firm of Msytield & King, COM
posed Of Senator S. G. Maytield and
VIM. G. King, tobacco planters, has
been dissolved by tho arrest of the
latter.
Our intendent and CHIEF of police
being wide awake, saw in the Mr..
King, expert on tobacco planting,
the man wanted in Florence County
for murder and notified the sheriff
that he WAS here. Mr. Thos. Burch
arrived here this morning at an early
hour from Florence and from descrip-
ton given him said at once it WAS
the man wanted. Expecting that
King would give trouble to those
trying to take him, and knowing that
he would be armed and knew the
Florence sheriff at sight, it was de-
cided for MIR. Burch to remain ont Of
sight and let our plucky deputy,
Capt. Hunter, arrest the man.
Deputy Hunter was assisted by 9. J.
Baxter, and expecting trouble they
had to do their work quickly. King
was armed as expected, having Il
pistol IN the inside pocket of his vest
Before going to arrest King his room
was visited and in it was found
Winchester rifle, which he brought
with him hero, and this WAS taken
possession of by tho sheriff.
Mr.. King tells your correspondent
that he went direct to Sumter after
tho killing, from Sumter to Column
bia, and thence to Denmark, where
he has been ever since; also that he
intended going back to Florence in
time for court. 1t seems strange
that he should use his correct name
here, but it is true that no one
thought to ask hlm his first or given
name. Says he thinks Senator May
field should put in Il good word for
him.
MIR. King, | learn, called on Sem
ator Mayfield Tueaday morning after
his arrival here and represented him
self IA an export OH tobacco raising
and made bargain with the senator
to plant 10 or ~ acres on shares, he
to do all the work aud Mayfield to
furnish the land and fertilizers. Mr..
KING WAS progressing nicely with his
new farm when the law steps in to-
day. 1t is hoped the senator will
succeed in getting another partner to
carry on this work, for it is believed
that our soil ia the very thing for to-
bacco.
Florence, $. G., February H.
William King, who killed Samuel
Rogers and seriously wounded James
Rogers, near here two weeks ago,
was captured at Denmark today by
Sheriff Burch and is now in the
county jail here.

IMPRISONED FOR LIFE.
rltaDle, but Deserved, Fate Of w. G.
Rivers, a One-Arrmed Confederate SOL
dier.
News and Courier.


st. George, Dorchester County,
February 11.-W. q. Rivers, white,
was sentenced to life imprisonment
in the State Penitentiery by Judge
Watts, presiding in tho Court OF
General Sessions for this county,
yesterday.
Mr.. Rivers is 04 years old, vet
eran of the civil war, who lost his
left arm in the Second Battle Of
Manassas. He was convicted of the
murder of George f. Ahrens, for
mer Charlestonian, whom he shot to
death in the public road, four miles
from Ridgeville, on the 21st of De.
cember, 1901. The testimony in the
case showed that Rivers, otherwise
amiable and peacable, was an ugly
customer when on one of his period
lcal sprees and his neighbors were
afraid of him when he WAS indulging
rs.
The principal witnesses against
him were his father in. law and sister.
in.law and the wife of the deceased.
Rivers had been to Ridgeville on the
day of the shooting and had imbibed
considerable quantity of what the
community calls "Bull ens," other
wise known as "Fust x" On his
way home he indulged in lurid vocal
pyrotechnics, stopping in front of the
Ahrens home and making himself
offensive.
Some children were passing in the
road and Mrs. Ahrens undertook to
demonstrate with the old man and
requested him to go on home. Rivers
drove off in fury, proceeded to his
home half mile distant, returned
with his gun-an old muzzle. loader
stopped in front Of Ahrenss gate
and got out of his buggy with the
gun, cursing Ahrens and his wife in
the vllest terms and saying he had
come to kill somebody.
Mrs. Ahrens went in the house and
brought her husbands gun, but he
told her to put it down, as he didn't
need it, but would quiet the old man
and send him off.
Putting down an axe handle, on
which he had been working, he
walked out Of his gate, Rivers to be-
have himself and put up his gun be-
fore it got him into trouble Rivers
had his gun raised all the time
caught under his shoulder with
hoop he had fixed in the stock 80
that he could manage it with his one
hand-and when Ahrens came with.
in ten feet of him he emptied load
of small shot in his left groin.
After the shooting the two men
clinched and Mrs. Ahrena grabbed
the gun and beat Rivers over the
head with it, nearly putting an end
to him. Rivers was tied by one of
the neighbors and left in the road
for few minutes, when he united
the rope with his teeth and, jumping
in his buggy, made his escape. He
was found next morning in the corn
house Oh his premises, sleeping in
the shuck with a half-emptied bottle
lying by him.
The father and sister-in law, who
lived just across the road, Witnessed
the entire affair and testified against
the defendent, controverting his YER
sion of the affair that Ahrens had
attacked him first. Ahrens was q
rheumatic cripple. The jury were
out three hours, finally agreeing on
verdict Of murder, with recommends
ton to mercy. Messrs. Wolfe &
Connor appeared and did all that
could be done for the defence
