An English tourist was discussing the
relative merits of British and Ameri-
can railway service the other evening
when he suddenly sprang the following
clincher on his clsaUantic cousins:
al tell you, though, there's one point
you folks are behind in, and that is the
lack of consideration shown white pas
sengers in having them pass inspection
by an African. Why, the idea Of such
treatment is an insult to any gentle
man.
"a few days ago when boarding ono
of your famous express trains I was
chagrined, to put 1t mildly, to be asked
by a liveried colored man to show my
ticket to him. I subsequently learned
that this same individual Is nothing
but train waiter. Such thing could
not happen in my country York

when interrogated as to the purpose
of his sudden expedition.
Certain of his friends sayings had
grated upon his ear, and caused a
chill feeling of dissatisfaction and re-
sret.
Thank God!" he had said when he
heard Of the deaths of those others,
cut off. more than one of them, be-
fore they had attained their proper
span.
Mr. Burritt turned uneasily in his
beu as he reflected upon this, and re-
membered that he was the only one
left who knew all The only one his
friend had to fear. To fear. Surely
that was not the right way to put it?
To fear! Could it be possible that his
old friend believed that he had cause
to fear him? But what had been
his own words on the subject?
you can ruin me, Silas, in the
eyes Of my child. as well as in those
Of the world, whenever you please!"
The question was, had he, at the
time, really meant what he said? Had
he, for an instant, believed him
capable of such baseness as this?
If so-good heavens. it was a
dreadful thought-would he not have
still greater reason to exclaim, thank
God!" when he heard of his death?
He scarcely dared to breathe it to
himself, but the idea, having once oc-
CURED, clung to him, and refused to
be set aside but returned again and
again in spite of his steadfastly re-
jecting it as unworthy and dishonor-
able. At the same time he found him
self wondering whether his friend, the
object of these painful thoughts, who
occupied an adjoining room, was also
lying awake and indulging in unprofit-
able reflections. Or perhaps he was
more pleasantly employed in thinking
of his daughter; anticipating their
meeting and picturing her as she
would be after five years separation.
Whatever else he might, or might
not be, he was evidently an affection
ate parent, devoted to this one child

CHAPTER III.
Midnight Reflections.

MIR Bnrritt passed a very restless
night. Perhaps his dinner had dis
agreed with him. More probably it
was the result of the agitation and
excitement caused by the meeting
with the old friend he had not seen
for so many years. At any rate,
whatever, the cause, there was no
doubt as to the effect; for he found
it impossible to sleep, or to do any
thing but toss from side to side, as
hour after hour YEARLY wore itself
away. BY some peculiar action of the
brain. he also found himself compelled
to review all the East scenes of his
life, and mentally, step by step, re-
trace the path he had trodden during
these fifty years or So which went
to make up the sum of his existence
on this planet.
AT last, in despair, he rose. and 60
ing to the window, looked out upon
the night. 1t was very moonlight
night-too much so, in fact. There
was something almost weird and
ghastly in its effect. So he dropped
the blind with a crash, and went back
to bed again, hoping that, this time,
he might be able to sieep.
But it was the same thing over
again Only this time his thoughts
concentrated themselves upon his
family and his home life. He remem-
bered, with a sense of remorse, that
he had been a little-only a little
irritable at breakfast that morning,
and that he had spoken rather sharply

most other ailments begin with cold. Using
Peruna to promptly cure colds. he protects

Killed by a Train.

Jim Petty, colored, aged 80 years,
was struck by yard shifter near the
Southern depot in Spartanburg Thurs-
day night, and died from the effects
OF his injuries early Friday morning.
There were no eyewitnesses to the ac-
cident. 1t appears that about 10
o'clock last night Petty was walking
up the track of the main line, leading
from the depot to the junction, when
a shifting locomotive struck him. The
wheels passed over his left leg and his
head was injured. at the coroner's
injuest held this morning the verdict
was that the decease came to his death
by being struck by locomotive In the

DEATH OF MR. h. Il. cRuM.
Dies Suddenly from Stroke Of Ap.
poplexy.

We clip the following from the Den
mark correspondent of the State which
says Mr.. H. n. Crum died at bis resi-.
dence here Tuesday at IL o'clock,
lingering less than IL hours after the
stroke Of appoplexy of the evening be.
fore.
Mr.. Drum had spent Monday out on
his plantation, several miles from
town, where he was experimenting the
cutting canal through his lands and
had been interested in this work for
several days previous. He returned to
his home at the close of the day, ate
hearty supper and showed no sIgn Of
the approaching stroke. After supper
was over he retired to his favorite
porch to catch the cool breeze of the
evening. A few minutes later Ills wife
Joined him, but did not remain with
him, feeling that the ccol air was not
beneficial to her. Mr.. Drum remained
in the piazza for short time before
he was heard by his family making
his way to an inner apartment. He
got to the sitting room, closed the
and locked 1t. A few feet away from
the door, or just as he turned from
the door to join his family, he must
have received the apopletic stroke.
Mrs. Crum was engaged in converse.
tion with her children and expected
every minute to see her husband enter
the room. Fifteen minutes or more
elapsed before she began to think that
possibly the repetition of the noise
made by-her husband, the moving of
the foot over the floor and forced clear.
ing OF the throat, meant ill news to
his beloved family. Mrs. Crum went
out 20 see him aud fuund tne haii
dark. Calling for match, the gas was
lighted, and there sat her husband on
the floor, one arm resting on large
rocking chair, his head moving to and
fro. Mrs. Crum called to him, he look-
ed up into her face and tried to speak.
Mr.. Crum had evidently tried to get
up, using the chair as support, or
possibly he felt the attack coming on
him and tried to sit in the chair.
Physicians and kind friends we're
called, but the stroke was serious and
gradually life ebbed away.
His entire family and many friends
stood around his bed until death came.
Mrs. Drum and her children are grief
stricken, and the community mourns
the loss of a good citizen. Mr.. Crum
had just completed his fine residence
on Palmetto avenue, and had scarcely
had time to place in order his new
home, and in one sense new and
happy life had only begun.
Mr.. Crum was 40 years old and had
served Barnwell and later Bamberg
county in the lower house of the gen
eral assembly several terms, after
which he was elected in 1900, by the
general assembly to manage the State
dlspensary, all Of which positions he

SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES
After n Very Pleasant and Profitable
Session.

A special to the State from Rock
Hill says: The State summer school
for teachers closed a very successful
session last Tuesday. The total at.
tendance was about 300 and in addl-
ton the educational conference and
the State Teachers association at
tracted large number OF leading edu.
Gators and laymen.
The great body 0f teachers in at.
tendadce were dilisent and won from
President Johnson an expr, Ssed Opin-
ion that the session just closed was
marked by greater energy, more dill
Rence and Il more enthusiastic profess
sionalism than any previous summer
school.
In his closing remarks he expressed
Winthrop's pleasure at having the
school, and the teachers we're made to
feel that all that could be done was for
their pl asure and profit The splen-
did equipment OF the college with
every modern convenience, strong
faculty, Il full and well.chosen course
OF lectures, and also the attraction
furnish d by Superintendent Hughes
and his cornet band all contributed to
month OF pleasure and plolit to the
tired and worn teacher.
One OF the last attractions was q
lecture, full Of force and Instruction,
by DR.. j. a. b. Scherer, president OF
Newberry college. An address for
the closing evening was announced to
he given by President Poteat of Fur
man, but the school was disappointed
upon DR.. POteat's failure to arrive.
Many are beginning TO point to
these schools rs so profitable for our
teachf rs that the Wideawake teacher
cannot well afford to miss them.
They make teachers grow, and those
who fail to see the need of continued
preparation Will soon fail to fill the
demands made upon them.
