n.u,d,s Preparation for Royalty. A
Review.
uur GENERAL PREPARATION q
SAM.
W. are now prepared to take a
.,1m survey of the history of
novid's preparation for his royal
-ssponsibiIity. And first we notice
ho+ according to the writer of
CouroI it was God who was di-
Soo+;np the preparation. How in
Ioos; and deity this is sug-
"osted, not stated, by the narrative.
w. notice. further, that this prepa-
.ot;on began long before David was
5orn Much had to happen, and
U,anv sorts of men had to faithfully
norform their allotted tasks before
Ravid's task was ready to his hand.
4 was to be his duty to weld the I'M
organized and disunited people into
nation; to unity, equip, and inspire
with confidence a scattered and dis
nirited group of tribesmen. Fully
half a century of preparatory work
was essential in order that he should
have a reasonable chance of sue
cess.
The book makes it clear that Sam
mel is to be counted as the most i'm
portant preparatory factor. When
he was in his youth, his people were
made helpless and hopeless by lack
of leadership within, and bold, ag-
gregsive enemies without, their ter
ritory. Confidence in his integrity
and wisdom, his Justice and power
to rule, gave the people their new OPP
%portunity, and encouraged them to
ask for a king. His genius for or
ganization brought together the bet
ter elements of the people. The
writer also reveals to us his concep-
ton of Saul as one to whom the peo-
pie gave their fullest confidence. He
met the royal ideal in so many ways,
and the popular expectation so com
pIetely, that for a time it seemed,
even to Samuel, that he could lead
the people into largeness of life as
a nation which would serve Jehovah.
But he turned out to be a self-cen-
tered man, hence he became one of
too narrow and limited a vision to
be disable as Gods fundamentally.
The right sort of a leader for the
people, n concerned, not for him
self, but for God and for them, he
found in David, who, chosen while
yet young, and transferred to SauPs
court, came into touch with royalty,
the court, the army, and the people,
IN such a way as to win all to him
SELF, and to cause all hearts to beat
nigh with hope for the future which
ne could insure. Even when driven
INTO exile by Saul, who through jeal-
ousy had become his bitter enemy, the
experiences Of his wild outlaw life
only helped to endear David to the
people, and to make him better fitted
LOT considerable yet firm leadership.

$1,000 for KershaW Roads.

We told you last week, that We were
persuaded chat something was going
TO happsn for the improvement of our
public roads. $1,000 is practically as
srred for the Charleston and Blsnop-
vile roads. This is good enough Tor
one days work.
4 Yesterday a committee from the
country and a COMMITTEES from the
Camden Board of Trade, had a con-
ference with the county commission
ers. a direct proposition was made
that If they would make an approprla-
ton OF s., ,OO0 for the Charleston and
Bishopvilie roads, the citizens OF
Camden and Kirkwood would supple
nent this amount with 81, GOO. Thls
proposition was agreed to. Last nlght
committee waited on the City Coun-
ell to ask for an appropriation. Ihey
presented petition signed by large
number of taxpayers, which amounted
practically to an election upon this
question, requesting an appropriation.
The committee found City Council
anx;oas TO cooperate with them, and
left tie council room, after full dis
cussion of the subject, with smiles on
their faces, which indicated the graft
tude they felt at their cordial recep-
tion. Another meeting of council will
be held next Monady night. by which
time the committee will be able to
report approximately what they can
raise from individual subscrip ptlons.
The ball has been started to rolling
for good roads. and no one need try to
stop it, for goods roads we are bound
to have. Mud paddles, bog holes,
water and sand we have had long
enough. $1,000 as starter. -,
TIE Charleston road will be built
up first, and then the Bishopviile road.
After that other roads will receive
attention. Messenger.

New National Banks.

The following statement IN relation
to organization of national banks since
the passage of the act of March IA,
1900, has been issued from the Office OF
the Comptroller of the Currency: At
the close of March, 1903, the law IN
relation to the organization of banks
with minimum capital of s25, 600 has
been in operation three years and
seventeen days. During that period
there have been added to the national
banking system LAP associations
with aggregate capital stock of SS6,
135, 500. The additions to the system
by conversions of state banks and re-
organizations of state or private banks
we're 179 and 443, respectively, the
capital of the converted banks amount
ing to s12, ,226, 600 and of the reorganized
associations to s29, TAO, 600. The banks
organized during the period in ques-
tion deposited as security for
circulation bonds to the amount
of only $40, Ats, 800, or fraction
less than "a per cent. OF
the capital. During the month of
March fifty-six national banks were
organized with capital stock Of 81, no.
600 and bond deposit Of s642, $50. On
March 81, 1903, the number of nation
al banks was 4, 969 and their authorized
capital stock s739, 17S, 695. The amount
Of bonds on deposit as security for
circulation has increased since March
IA, 1900, from s244, Gil, $40 to s342, 100,

FURMAu TRUSTEES.
Editor Gardner, of The Green
wood Journal, Scores Dr.. C. c.
Brown, of Sumter.

The following notice was published
in this weeks issue of the, Greenwood
journal:
We understand that the Rev. G. G.
Brown, of Sumter, S. c., is sending
out circulars to pastors and others in
the state asking for their signatures
to a petition requesting nine of the
trustees of Furman University to re-
sign. These circulars so far as we can
hear are meeting with very little favor.
Mr. Brown was at one time member
of board and his name was dropped for
good and sufficient reasons. He has
done all that he could in every con-
ceivable way to control the board, but
his failure has been signal and he
will continue to fail. This last effort
will meet with that merited rebuke
which it deserves. Dr.. Brown was so
anxious for some one to take him up
in discussion a few months ago
that failing to be noticed he called
for anonymous letters. Failing to get
any one to write him anonymously he
wrote and addressed an anonymous
letter to himself which he published.
We have been reminded of the sate-
ment made in the long ago to the
effect that the cackling Of flock Of
geese saved an ancient city. We be-
lieve that the cackling of Dr.. Brown
will only unite the discordant ele-
ments of our state upon Furman Uni
yersity and save the institution. Give
some people rope and they will do
work SO eGectual AS to result in the
greatest good to the greateast number.

4 FORGERY IN WATERFORD.
Arrest of S. ]. FennelI, Who Pro-
tests His innocence, but has to
90 to Jail for Want of Bail.

Walterboro, April 9.-Quite sensa-
tion was caused here this morning by
the arrest, upon a warrant issued by
MAGISTRATE J. e. Bryan, of S. j.
Fennell, farmer and manufacturer of
lumber, residing about six miles from
the town, on the charge of forgery.
Being unable to give bond for s7O0 he
was committed to Jail. A mysterious
woman in black, described as quite
handsome, figures in the case. In fact
she is the chief actor, but it is not
known who she is. What is known is
that she appeared at the Farmers and
Merchants Bank here On March 81,
presented a check for S532, bearing
the signature of W. 0. Thompson,
Jr., drawn upon the Bank of Hamp-
ton, in favor Of one Of his married
sisters, whom she impersonated, and
received the money. The circumstance
connecting Fennell with the transac-
tion is that he is known to have &C
companied the woman the preceding
day from Walterboro to Hampton,
where she presented check for a
similar sum, but, owing to some
error, payment was refused. He re-
turned with her to Walterboro the same
day. Where she lodged for the night
cannot be, ascertained Fennell ad-
mits seeing her on the train, but de-
MES knowledge Of her identity. An
other mystifying feature of the case
is that the woman must have known
the extent of Thompson's deposits in
the Bank of Hampton and have been
familiar with his signature. Thomp-
son, who is now on a visit to Florida,
might aid in clearing up the mystery
of the mysterious woman in black.
Diligent efforts are being made to
find out who she is and where she is.

A new Law OF LIBEL.
How the Politicians of Pennsyi-
vania Propose to Protect Them
selves From the Press.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 9.-The Sen
ate passed finally today the new libel
law introduced on Tuesday by Senator
Grady. The bill provides that news
papers published in Pennsylvania shall
print in every issue, On the editorial
page, the names of the owner or own
ers, publisher and managing editor,
and if owned by corporation the
names of the officers thereof. In all
civil actions which may hereafter be
brought against a newspaper, If 1t
shall be shown that the publication
complained of resulted from negligence
on the part of such owner, proprietor,
manager or editor in the ascertalnmenJ
of the facts or in the publication
thereof, compensatory damages may be
recovered for injuries to business ana
reputation resulting from such pub
lication, as we'll as damages for The
physical and mental suffering endured
by the injured party or parties.
An amendment provides whenever
in any civil action it snail be shown
that the matter complained of is libel
lous and that such libellous matter has
been given special prominence by the
use Of pictures, cartoons, headlines,
displayed type or any other matter
calculated to especially attract atten-
ton, the jury shall have the right to
award punitive damages against the
defendant or defendants -
It is charged by the opponents OF
the bill that orders have been issued
by the political leaders to railroad"
the measure. AS proof of this they
point to the fact that United States
Senator Penrose was in the Speakers
room of the Capitol today and sent for
Senators and Members opposed to the
bill, urging them to support it, A
similar measure is being hurried
through the House.

CANE GROWERS CONVENTION.
Delegates Appointed by Governor Hey
ward to Represent South Carolina.

Columbia, April Governor Hey
ward today appointed delegates to the
Interstate Sugar Cane Growers
Convention, which is to be held at
Macon, Ca, on the 9Th, 7th and Sth
of May. The expectation is that the
Convention will be very generally at
tended by the representative farmers
of the Atlantic States and that great
deal of good will be accomplished as a
result of the free exchange of ideas as
to the development of the sugar cane
culture. The idea is, of course, not
to have sugar cane growing restricted
to small patch for home use, but to
have the farmers of the State 60 into
the industry on an extensive scale,
and it is stated that it can be shown
wherein there is big money in the
crop, with the proper arrangements
for the handling of the product.
The following are the delegates ap-
pointed to represent the farmers OF
Sumter county:
R. P. Stackhouse, Oswego; E. E.
Aycock, Wedgefeld; R. G. Blanding,

ANOTHER Gun DISASTER.
This Time il Did Not Result From
GarsIsssness.
i2.!NeR GUN on The l0vl BURSTS
During Target Practiee---Three
Men Killed and Five Injured
Two of Them Seriously.

Pensacola, Fla, April "a disas-
trous explosion occurred on the bat
tie ship Iowa today while the vessel
was at target practice in the Gulf.
The forward port twelye-inch gun
burst from Che premature explosion OF
shell, twelve feet Of the piece out
side the turret being demolished.
Three men we're killed and hFe IN
iured, two seriously.
The men killed and injured were on
the second, OF gun, deck at mess.
Three pieces Of the exploded gun,
each weighing over a ton, passed
downward through the spar deck, fall
ion upon the men at mess, instantly
killing three Of them. All of the men
were horribly mutilated. The heavy
missiles after passing through the gun
deck continued down to the third
deck, where they came in contact
with the armored deck, the heavy
steel bringing them to q stop, thus
saving the engineers and hremen Wnc
were at work below. Although the
upper decks were crowded with men
no one there was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had sounded firing was to
have ceased after the shot. for Dime.
hour. The range had been set and
the Iowa was steaming along at q
speed Of 10 knots an hour, when
Lieut.. Reed, in charge Of the forward
Finch turret, gave orders to load and
fire. The time fuse was cut for the
range, the piece charged, breech clos
ed and the word given to fire. Fol-
lowing the report Of the gun there was
smothered report as the shell ex-
ploded midway in the gun and pieces
of the bursted gun and she'll were
scattered broadcast. Three great
holes Were torn through the deck.
Those who we're below began coming
up on deck, some bloody and mutilat-
ed, while lying on the doors crushed
almost beyond recognition, were the
three unfortunate men. The Massa-
chusetts, six miles distant, was slg-
nailed for aid. and one of the cutters
put of with the surgeon and assist
ants. The wounded men were taken
TO the hospital and their injuries
dressed. The dead were brought TO
Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was caus-
ed by defective shell and Others think
that the freqEent firing Of the pieces
at Culebra during the winter, added
to the work done here during the past
tan days, so strained the piece that
the force of the charge burstsd the
gun.
