The South Carolina College
for Teachers.

Although nearly approaching It's CEN
tennial anniversary, the South Carolina
shows none OF the ~deCrepitude
of old age, but rather increasing sigRS
of vigorous life. A new departure of
great Importance to the College and to
the State has just been inaugurated.
For some years the College has had a
department of pedagogy, for the train"
ing OF teachers; but last winter, for the
first : time, the Legislature created n
number of endowed normal scholar
ships, n for each county 1t is the
intention of the Trustees and Faculty
to set these scholarships upon a high
plane, and to seek thereby to qualify
superior young men for positions of
leadership and influence in our public
schools. 0HoweVer largely women may
be employed as teachers, the work of
superintendence. direction and control
must continue to be most largely i'm the
hands of the men: and 1T is to supply
these teacher of leadership and in
.fuenCe, in the community as we'll as in
the schools, that the College will chiefly
aim, through these scholarships. Hence.
no young man under nineteen years OF
age will be eligible, and preference will
be given to those applicants who have
already taught with success for at
least one year.
A special and technical course of
study has been established, on n high
yet practical plane; and 1t is intended
that his department N be worthily
!ent!tled to he called II college Tor
Teachers" Al the work VIII be dis
tinctivcly normal, and apart from the
regular College classes. The Trustees
and Faculty feel sure that in preparing
q body of strong and we'll equipped
men teachers the College will aid in
supplying one OF the most important
needs OF the state. They hope. also,
that this work. in it's success and it's
results, may meet With such public APP
prevail as to lead hereafter to it's still
further enlargement.
Circulars have been Issued giving the
details of regulations n course of
study.
The present session, now nearly
ended, has been very encouraging. Not
n ripple has disturbed the internal
peace of the College. The new Presi-
dent has won golden opinions. and haz
more than maintained the confidence
and affection gained in his ong service
as professor. The friends of the Col
lege look hopefully forward to the con-
tinucd success and increased usefulness
of this Ncncrated institution, which will
soon enter upon its second century OF
honorable history.

Emphasizes Its Superiority.

The best test of the merit of an arti-
Gle is the way it sells. Brausford Mills,
at Owensboro, KY where "Clifton"
flour is made, run night and day, and
yet they cannot supply the demand for
"Clifton." In this city, as elsewhere,
it Is the standard by which other Hours
are guaged, and the statement that cit
is just as good as "Clifton, "only makes
its superiority the more pronounced.

BLACKS LOSE CASE
AIabama's New Suffrage Law
is UnassaiIable.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Court Holds that 1t Cannot Interfere
or Grant Relief Asked Because
Political Question is
Involved.

A Washington special says: The
United States supreme court Monday
decided the case of Jackson w. Giles
VS.. Board of Registrars Of Montgom-
cry county, Alabama.
Giles Is a colored man, who was de-
MED the privilege OF registering as
voter, under the new constitution OF
Alabama, and the case was brought to
test the validity of that portion of the
state constitution bearing upon this
| question. The relief sought was de-
MED on the ground that the case was
political.
Justice Holmes, who delivered the
opinion, said that for the court to In
terfere would be an unheard-ot rellef
in cases presenting only political ques;
tions.
The court, as a whole, did not pass
upon the question of jurlsdlctlon'
which was the question certified by
the circuit court for the middle district
of Alabama, and Justice Harlan dis
sented. on the ground that the court
could have declined to assume jurisdlc'
ton. Justice Brewer and Justice Brown
| united in a dissent in which they up
held the jurisdiction of the federal
court on the ground that as Giles was
denied the right of voting for mem
ber of congress by the refusal OF The
right to register, federal question
was involved.
Justice Holmes written opinion was
not made public, but he made quite an
extended statement from the bench,
reciting at some length Giles petition
in which Giles claimed to speak not
alone for himself, but for 5000 other
negro adults of Montgomery county,
who he claimed would be disfran-
chised as result of the enforcement
of the suffrage provisions OF the state
constitution of 1901. The case had
been dismissed below for want of juris-:
diction. but Justice Holmes said a ma
jor,ty of the court were Of opinion
that the supreme court should confne
itself to the question of jurisdiction.
but should consider the case on its
merits. He then announced that 1t
would be impossible to grant the re-
lief asked. He pointed out that while
Giles is contending that the franchise
system of Alabama is fraud, he de-
clares competency as voter under it,
and closed by saying that it was De-
yond the power of court of equity
to grant the petition.
Justice Harlan, in dissenting, said
that in his opinion the case should
have been dismissed for want of juris-
diction alone, as was done in the cir
cult court, and he criticised courts
opinion, saying that it left the question
of jurisdiction in the sir and that he
was not willing to be party to such
proceeding.
Justice Brewer delivered the other
dissenting opinion, in Which Justice
Brown concurred. They expressed
opinion that the circuit court should
be directed to assume jurisdiction of
the case.

NEGRO WOMEN CAUSED STRIKE.
Were Employed to Take Places OF
HhiIdren Rarred hv New Law

Were Employed to Take Places Of
Children Barred by New Law.
On account Of the child labor law
of the state of Alabama, which went
into effect on the 25th instant, 125
children under the legal age were sent
out of the Lanett, Ala, cotton mills
from their work Monday morning.
In filling the places Of the young
operatives where it would not come
in contact with the white workers, the
management put in several negro wo-
men in a side building to do the low
grade work, and this action was mis-
construed by some Of the operatives:
who thought that this change would in
terfere with their positions and sala-
ries and decided to walk out on a
strike.
The word passed over all four floors
of the large building, and in a very
short while the entire forco of 1900
men and women walked out on a
strike.
The entire crowo of strikers march
ed in a body across to the large square
in front Of the main Office. They then
announced that unless all negroes
were Immediately and permanently
withdrawn from the mills they would
not return to their work.
Superintendent Coburn Immediately
informed President Lanier OF the state
of affairs, and he at once appeared on
the scene and addressed the laborers,
agreeing to grant their request. This
being the only grievance, and as it was
promptly settled, the laborers agreed
to resume work.

Hav and Cassini Confer.

Russia's demands in Manchuria and
their effect on american interests
were the subject of a conference Sun.
day afternoon between Secretary Hay
and Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador, which occurred at Secretary
Hays house and lasted for nearly an
hour. 1t is denied that the ambassa-
dor brought official advices from his
government, but the fact that he is
still suffering from an attack Of lun1'
bago which has confined him to the
embassy for several weeks, is evidence
Of the urgency of the call.
Steps already have been taken by
the state department to ascertain the
true inwardness of Russia's latest
move. Ambassador Mccormick, at ST.
Petersburg has been instructed by ca
Bile to present to the Russian foreign
office note which, while diplomatical
ly known as one of inquiry, IS in sub
stance a strong protest against Rus
sia's demands. Cabled instructions
also have been sent to Minister Con-
ger, at Pekin, to express to the CHI
nese authorities the dissatisfaction or
the United States. with Russia's de-
mands and our hope that China Will
not accede to them. No answers have
yet been received to either note,
though unofficial assurances are still
reaching the department that Ameri-
can interests in Manchuria will be pro-
tected. In the departments note,
which Ambassador Mccormick proba'
bly, has presented already, Russla's at
tention is called to the assurances
which repeatedly have been given the
United States relative to the preserva-
ton Of the integrity Of China and the
continuance of the open door policy
Russia also is reminded OF the severe
blow to American trade which must
follow the granting Of the first two de-
nands, that no more ports or towns
IN Manchuria be opened and that no
additional foreign consuls lie admitted.
Russia's reason for conlending for
the closed door in Manchuria is the
claim that the open door is not COM
mercial but a political question. she
continues to assure lle United States
that in some way this country's inter-
ests will be protected in Manchurla.
The point is made that as the Manchu'
rian demands are still in negotiation
between st. Petersburg and Pekin, the
United States cannot expect that Rus
sia make concessions until lie fate OF
her demands has been determined.

PAPERS WERE PERSONAL.
Lawyer for Mrs. Tyner Explains Mat
ter to Attorney General Knox.

Lawyer for Mrs. Tyner Explains Mat
ter to Attorney General Knox.
A Washington special says: Ross
Perry, the attorney for Mrs. James N.
Tyner, whose husband was summarily
removed from his position as assistant
attorney general for the postof1ce de-
partment under rather sensational cir
cumstances Thursday called on Attor-
ney General Knox and talked the case
over with him Friday. He made to
the attorney general substantially the
same statement previously given ou:
by him, namely, that the papers taken
by Mrs. Tyner from the safe in her
husbands Office were altogether per-
sonal. but that they would be returned
when called for.
Friday morning the postmaster cer-
tilted to the attorney general for SUCH
action as he may deem necessary n
the cases of the persons involved IN
the abstraction Of the papers from the
safe of the assistant attorney general
for the postofice department. Post
master Payne's letter forwarding the
papers made no recommendations be-
yond submitting the case for such a.
ton as the department of justice might
deem necessary and proper.
Attorney General Knox said the affi-
davits contain no information as to
their ownership. He has called the at
tention Of the postmaster general to
the law relating to public documents
and has requested information as to
their character, and also asks OF the
postmaster general what action ne re-
quests or recommends.
Attorney General Knox expressed
the opinion to Postmaster General
Payne that unless there is something
to show that the documents taken
from the safe are government property
no case would lie. This statement
was made after MIR. Knox had gone
over the papers forwarded 70 him by
the postoffice department. Mr.. Payne
replied by stating the circumstances
attending the taking of the papers and
the fact that most of the papers filed
in the government safe are OF conf
iential nature. and therefore are not
of record.

O. H. P. Belmont followed in less than
a year after the divorce.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was Miss Alva

made her belle of the fashionable set
William Kissam Vanderbilt met her at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Elliott f.

her, and they were soon welded.
Mrs. Rutherfurd, the new bride, is
