HONORED DEAD HERO.

Continued from Twelfth Page.
appointed in time to make report
at'the next meeting of the camp.
Capt. Young stated that because of
the lessening number of the members
of camp. fifteen having died since the
last annual meeting he felt it would
be wei. to start a sort of reserve fund,
for which no canvass will be made, but
to which such members of the camp or
well wishers Of it as may care TO con-
tribute may do so. He announced that
already Capt. John Flannery and Mr..
]. P. Williams had given 500 apiece
and that $25 had been received from
another gentleman.
Capt Young also announced that
Mrs. l.. G. Young and some other la
dies are arranging an entertainment
for the benefit of the camp and that
it is hoped to realize such a sum from
this affair as may be a welcome adj
dtion to the treasury of the camp;
and that the Children of the Confed-
eracy will give an entertainment in
Armory Hall Jan. 10 and that a part
of the proceeds realized will be given
the veterans.
Spirited Controversy.
A spirited argument that took up the
greater part of the meeting was
fered to the constitution of the camp
by Capt. j. p. Dillon, it which 1t was
sought to allow membership in more
than one camp, though still making it
impossible to be enrolled and repre-
scented in the governing organization
In more than one camp. His effort
was to have his resolution supersede
what is known as the Theus resolution,
adopted in 1901.
Capt. ]. p. White was the chief OPP
ponent of the measure and endeavored
TO show that Capt. Dillon, though vice
president of the camp, had no right to
offer such a resolution on the grounds
that his representation in the governing
organization is through McLaws Camp.
The chair sustained Capt. Dillon's
right to offer the resolution, but IN
amendment was offered to 1t by Mr..
NJ r. Tunno, the sense of which is
that no member of another camp shall
become a member Of the Confederate
Veterans Association, and this amends
fnent was carried.

No Peace oyertures.

Washington, Special.-While the Of
flcials here are satisfied from their pri-
vate advices that the recent visit of
King Edward to his nephew, Emperor
William, was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate a movement toward
the restoration of peace between Rus
sia and Japan, there is reason to be-
lieve that some very careful and dis
Greet inquiries as to the opportunities
Of some such overtures at this time
have emanated from Washington. 1t
may be stated that the result has been
to disclose the fact that neither of the
belligerent powers is yet in a humor to
sue for peace, nor even to entertain
overtures from any third power on that
subject.

State ccIleqe Expanding.

There is a growing sentiment at the
South Carolina college to restrict the
age of admission Of students to 16. The
minimum age is now Is, but 1t is
thought with the better advantages Of
fered in recent years by the schools
of the State there is no good reason TO
encourage young man to leave home
before he is 16. 1t is argued that this
raising of the age requirement is espe-
cially a proper move on the part OF the
South Carolina college, whether or not
it should be followed by other colleges
in this State, since the South Caro-
lima college should seek more and more
TO raise its standards and develop into
a university of recognized leadership
and headship in the State. The most
practical way to raise the standard is
to raise the age of admission and,
with mature students, accomplish more
work each year.
AS some progress towards the uni
versity idea, it may be noted that the
South Carolina college has already de-
veloped two professional schools of ac-
knowledged standing, the law school
and the normal school. The enrolment
in the former during the last session
was "a, in the latter 3S, besides ten
teachers who took the short spring
course. This shorter course for teachers
begins each year about the first OF
april and is designed pecially to meet
:therneedss,of feteache of - hort farm 11 !

A New Isofl,ermal NJ ap.

Commissioner Watson, with the as
sistance of Section Director Bauer of
the weather bureau, has prepared the
first thermal map of the State ever
published. The map shows the mean
temperature of the entire State, which
is divided into three sections. The
map when compared with California,
the great fruit growing State, shows
the superiority Of this State in the
fruit growing section. Several years
ago California had a map of this kind
printed and used among the northern
capitalists with the result that thou
sands Of dollars were brought into the
State and invested not only by the
fruit growers but by truck farmers and
others interested in planting.
In California there is only one sec
ton of the State in the same class with
tfis State, and that is small area
around Los Angeles. The figures are as
follows: Annual mean for entire State,
GO; lowest, Greenville, SO; highest,
Beaufort, CT; annual mean for spring,
CO; annual mean for summer, 70; an
nual mean for autumn, 65; annual
mean for winter 46. Several thousand
of these maps will be printed and used
in the north.

Taken From Train and Lynched.

Scranton, Special-Three months ago
Carlo Williams, negro of Lake City,
killed Thurston McGee of the same
place in the court at Kingstree. About
eight men, armed and disguised,
boarded and searched the local passen-
ger train passing Scranton at 7:O7
o'clock and found the prisoner. They
suspected he was being taken to Flor
ence. The men held a consultation and
about eight men were stationed at the
cattle pen at the north end Of the de-
pot. One of the mob tagged the lin
tied train, No. 80. Then about eight
men, armed and disguised, boarded the
sleeping car. The conductor shouted
from the door that there was nobody
In there and themob searched the whole
train and took the negro from the
sheriff in the day coach. They then put
the negro in buggy and with fendish
shouts made for the woods. Not single
shot was fired. The party who boarded
the train were all disgusted. The agent
at Scranton Lett the depot few min
utes before the limited arrival and re-
turned after the train was brought to
a standstill. He left, he says, to avoid
being compelled to flag the train. The
mob was in town 45 minutes before the
arrival Of the first train.
