BANEFUL EFFECTS.
Of Tobacco on Human System Are Not
 as Bad as Pictured.

From the American Medicine.
 From the exultant chronicle of the death from old age, at no, of the con stant tobacco user, to the triumphant citation of the small boy dropping dead as the result of smoking cigarettes, we find the whole gamut of denunciation and approval of the tobacco habit. Cri- tics who conserve the golden mean in speech and writing possibly are fewer than the users of tobacco who occupy a similar enviable position in the en- ploymen of the weed. For this reason the temperate and authoritative discus sion of the subject by a half dozen writers in the July Practitioner is par ticularly valuable. Sir Lauder Brunton, in speaking of the effect of tobacco on the heart and circulation, says smok- Ing in moderation does not seem to be injurious to adults, but there is gen eral consensus of opinion that 1t is dis tinctly harmful to growing boys. What to some would be sufficient justifica- ton for It's use is his statement that

 After Keith shot the negro and rode away quite crowd gathered around the body. Coroner Paris soon reached the scene and held an inquest The negro girl, who saw the shooting couldn't throw much light on the subject other than that the men met engaged in heated words and were getting closer to each other when the shots were fired. Other witnesses simply heard the report of the shots. A card was tied to the ne- gro's coat. It advised the coroner to make an examination and turn the body over t) an undertaken as soon as possible. It was signed by Dr. Wheeler, who reached the scene before the coroner and found the negro dead The body was turned over to the Gaudin Undertaking establish ment
 The shooting was the result of an old grudge the negro had against Keith, who was at one time special officer at Woodlawn, and was overseer of the street gang It seems the dead negro had a brother who was a prisoner under Keith. On one occasion Williams is said to have remarked to a number of prisoners: If that (meaning Keith) Is all you have to guard you. I'd make quick work of him." On another occasion he was try ing to cause trouble and Keith is said to have knocked him down with a stick. The negro declared his intention to kill Keith and only recently Keith's brother

Thirty minutes later Mr.. Constituent

"The First National Bank people" said
Mr.. Constituent, "told me they'd be glad
to help me out, and that if I'd get you to

coin."
aThat's mighty white of 'em," said
Breck. "Isn't it? Say, though, I'll tell you

NEGROES WANTED CARROLLS LIFE.
Stormy Scene in Baptist Convention at Union in
Which Richard Carroll Defied the Black
Grafters and Gave Their Names.


UNION, May Sd will put bullet hole
through you if you repeat your charges
in this convention" was the sensational
threat sent to Rev. Richard Carroll, a
prominent negro educator, by a negro
preacher in high circles who is attending
the great Baptist gathering here. For
several months past Rev. Carroll has been
orally and through newspapers making
grave charges against the character of a
majority of negro Baptist ministers in
this State, saying that some of the more
prominent ones had formed ring and
that collections made for foreign mis-
sions, education and orphan work had
been diverted into their own private
purses.
The knowledge that he was here to
push his substantiated charges made those
interested employ almost every means in
cluding threats against his life to have
him remain silent. However, he was un-
daunted and the Investigations which ne
demanded and helped to conduct brought
out the facts more than over seventy-hve
other ministers corroborated his state.

A striking feature occurred when in a
wild, disordered assemblage one promi.

"name them"
"You are one," was the reply.
Another preacher Immediately sprang
up and shouted, Gam one too,'' evident
ly thinking to bluff the speaker who
calmly replied:
eyes, you too," and proceeded to draw
a book in which he had the names OF
every one implicated.
This caused a storm of confusion and
calls, "You need not read any more"
Carroll, who is doing good work fol
negro youths in Columbia, and who has
the support of the whites, seems to have
the special antipathy of many of his race
who sarcastically denounce him as "an

seeking to raise himself on the dead
bodies of the negro race. The whole ses'
sion was a dramatic one and the ring is
larger than supposed, judging by the vic"
lent opposition against Carroll.

The school at White Point Academy,
after prosperous session of six months,
closed last Friday evening, May 5th. An
exhibition was given, to which the pub
lie was invited. At eight o'clock the
doors were opened and the crowds, which
we're waiting, were politely ushered to
seats and provided with programs by
Misses Ettie and Nell Kearse. Every
thing being in readiness, at $50 o'clock
the curtain rose and exhibited the taste
fully arranged and beautifully decorated
stage, and then the exercises commenced.
The programme was as follows:

both interesting and comical, seems to
have been heartily enjoyed by those pres

as everybody seemed in the best of humor,
perhaps it isn't too much to say that each
one spent pleasant evening.
It is to our beloved teacher that we owe
our thanks for having caused all present
to spend an enjoyable evening. While
we truly appreciate her effort, we as truly
acknowledge our deep obligation to her.
Never has a teacher more wholly won
the love and confidence of pupils and
patrons than has Miss Annie Weeks, and
it was with many regrets but with equally
as many good wishes we saw her leave

BranchyiIle on a Boom.

BRASCHvILLE, May S.-Mr. l.. M. Eel
ton, of the Piedmont Electric Company,
who is here erecting telephone system
and electric light plant, will spend a day
or two with his family in Anderson this
week, but will return and finish his work.
The poles and some of the wire are al
ready up, and both plants will be in full
operation within the next few weeks.
Telephone lines will probably be run to
Smoak's, in Colleton county, and to
Hunters Chapel, in Bamberg county, and
Branchville will be in communication
with the surrounding country.
The coming of the telephone and elec.-
trict light has, it appears, had the desired
effect on the business men of Branchville,
and they now, at least, partly realize the
possibilities of the town. There is talk
of $4,000 hotel and system ginnery
with a capital of about $4,000 being
erected here, and probably an electric
railroad which would connect with the
Hampton and Branchville Railroad near
Lodge, S. c., and with the Atlantic Coast
Line near Elloree, or with the boat line
on the Santee.
The annual conference of the Women's
Foreign Missionary Society, of Orange
burg district, embracing about 70 Metho-
dist churches in Orangeburg, Bamberg,
Barnwell, Aiken, and Colleton counties,
will meet in Branchville Friday night,
May 49,, and continue in session through
Sunday. Delegates are expected from all
the church missionary societies, and a
number of prominent ladies from different
parts of the state will be in attendance
Mrs. W. A. Bass, Mrs. P. G. Dukes, Mrs
PROXY Myers, and Mrs. Belle Izlar, to-
gether with the pastor of the Branchville
Methodist Church, the Rev. s. A. Nettles
have the details of the meeting in hand
and profitable and interesting meeting
is expected.
Prof. W. P. Etchison and his assistants
Miss Edna Heard, of Florence, and Miss
Daisy Boneste, of Charleston, are prepar
ing for commencement exercises which
will take place this month. Commence
ment in Branchville is always looked for
ward to with great pleasure, not because
it is the winding up of the school year
but because it is happy time for the
pupils as well as the parents, and Branch
vile has school her citizens may well be
proud of.
The Baptist parsonage here is nearing
completion, and will soon be occupied by
the pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith
is very popular with the people, and is
doing good work for his church.
Mr.. W. A. Bass, of the Branchville
Railroad Hotel, has just returned from
a visit to his relatives in Virginia.
