Carlisle Fitting School.

The Carlisle Fitting School opens on
the 21st of next month. The record made
by this institution during its existence in
our midst is one of which we, and every
friend of high, moral, Christian scholar
ship, should be proud. The citizens Of
our State have run mad after free educa-
ton at our State schools, and while we
feel proud of every educational institution
we have, and would say naught against
any one, We point with pride to this
preparatory school in our midst, and
we advise our readers to examine into the
advantages and merits of this home
school before sending their children
away from home. The faculty is COM
posed of high-toned, scholarly, Christian
gentlemen, consecrated to their work, and
the fruit of their labors is our best reason
for advising you to patronize this school.
The true, thoughtful parent desires his
child to receive the best training for the
fullest development of manhood. Is it to
your advantage to educate him at the
expense of his moral life when you can
give him Christian education for the
same money? The school expenses are
guaranteed not to exceed $107 per year.
Where can you get cheaper tuition and
board?

it was made the occasion of a picnic gath

present, The committee in charge Of the

care of the crowd, and the dinner was
certainly fine one, and there was plenty
and to spare for all.
People were there from many sections
of the county, and when the meeting was
called to order at eleven o'clock, there
was good crowd of voters on hand.

AN EXCITING AFFAIR.
Negro Says He Had a Fit and Attacked Mr.
David Kinard.

Negro Says He Had Fit and Attacked Mr.
David Kinard.
About one o'clock last Saturday after.
noon a big burly negro went into Mr.
Kinard's livery stable at this place and
attacked Mr.. David Kinard, young man
who was sitting inside the entrance qui'
etly reading. Mr.. Kinard was thrown
completely off his guard by the sudden
ness of the attack, but he put up a good
fight and held his own fairly we'll until
assistance arrived. The negro is big
strapping fellow, and Mr.. Kinard was
considerably bruised and scratched in the
scuf1e, the negro making efforts all the
time to choke him.
A crowd soon gathered and the negro
seemed to want to fight everybody, and
he got pretty good pummeling before he
was subdued and taken to the guard
house. In the meantime Mr.. Kinard had
succeeded in getting hold of good stout
stick, but the negro was fighting around
so in the crowd that he could not get a
fair lick at him, although he hit him one
or two glancing blows. There were many
sore and bruised knuckles in town after
the excitement was over, for several men
hit the negro.
He was kept in the guard house until
Tuesday, when he was sent to the chain
gang for thirty days. He claims to have
fits and when these spells are on him he
attacks any one around him. BE will be
cared for on the chain gang and if it is
found that be is really not responsible for
his actions and violent, he will be sent to
the asylum in Columbia. This is not the
first time he has attacked people when
these fits were on him, and it is well to
confne him, for he is big strong fellow
and is no doubt really dangerous.
Young Mr.. Kinard has cause to con.
gratulate himself that his experience was
no wore than it was, although it was GER
tainly trying. 1t seemed that the negro
was doing his best to choke him to death.
However, Bamberg is likely to prove a
dangerous locality hereafter. for negroes
to have fits and so murderously assault
white men.
