COST BIG TEACHER $40
To Punish a Small Schol-
ar Severely.

frank II. Guilliouma, the school
teacher who was tried several days ago
before Judge Aungst upon the charge
Oh assault and battery upon William
Anon, a 13-year-old scholar, was de-
claied guilty of the charge by the pro-
bate Judge yesterday and was fined 81
ana costs, amounting in all to about
SIC.
The testimony was to the effect that
the teacher, who is large and power
ful man, used a heavy 15-inch ruler up
on the boy, striking him about the
head, face and shoulders until there
were large welts and contusions upon
his person. The child's offense was
that during the noon hour he and an
other scholar got into good natured
scramble after an apple and both fell
down, creating some confusion.
Judge Aungst in passing up the case
stated that while the law allowed a
teacher to use corporeal punishment, II
must be commensurate to the offense
and not excessive. III this case it was
held that the teacher exceeded his
rights and was therefore guilty of an
assault. The boy was Of tender years
and not as far advanced as he should
have been, and the opinion of the court
was that some consideration should
have been shown by his teacher.
The accused paid the fine and costs
and stated that If he was guilty of the
otfense he was willing to pay the pen,
atty, stating that at times a teacher
might exceed his rights under excite.

Sumter's Chaingang Is Distinguished.

George Washington Murray, colored,
who enjoyed the distinction OF having
been given a certificate of election to
Congress over General E. W. Noise by
the first Reform Board of State Can
vassers, was convicted last Thursday in
the Sumter Court of General Sessions
of forgery and sentenced TO pay line
of $3.50 and to serve three years upon
the changing. Murray's attorney en-
deavored to get new trial when the
jury brought in verdict of guilty, and
failing in this, he has appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The testimony in the case showed
that Murray, like a great many other
greedy money-makers, in the desire to
bleed those they have in their power,
resort to means unlawful and criminal,
but in this case the graft was held up
aud taken to the courts.
There are many white Murrays who,
did they get what they deserve under
the law, would by serving terms on the
chaingang also.
The conviction of Murry should be a
warning to class of merchants and
money-Ienders who have and are con-
tinuing to get rich by unlawful devices
to take advantage4of the poor and igno-
rant. We know it to be fact that
there ,are men occupying conspicuous
positions in church and society, whose
lawful and moral place is ''doing time"
for the county or State in criminal
garb. The reason these men have not
been forced to face a jury is because
the class OF people they rob ere afraid
to demand their rights. The poor white
man dare not and the ''nigger'' thinks
he has no show. The result is that
these mercenary fends, feeling safe in
the fears OF their victims, continue to
i bleed and rob them. But take care,
human vultures, lest you oppress the
wrong man, and when you do, like
Murray, whose ownership of eight thou
sand acres of land could not save him
from the chaingang, nor will your
wealth and white skin save you

Dear Sir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody

You want,to know how to do cheap
job of painting: and have 1t look goooo
Here It is: The cheapest thing there is
in the way Of a good looking lob-say
nothing about its being goods Devoe:
the regular thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Lead-and-oil is
good looking; don't go SO far and costs
more. The other paints are more or
less short in one way or another; don't
90 SO far and costs more than Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all: you don,
mind its lasting longer do you? We can't
help it: paint that goes further lasts
longer: we can't help it.
