Rock HILL, October 20.-President

a desire to learn something of the
chemistry of cooking, class will be
organized to begin work about the last
Of October. The course will be one OF

Messrs. Cunningham and Hinkey,
the young men who were convicted and
sentenced to six years in the South
Carolina penitentiary for their sup
posed connection with the burglary "f
the Latta postoffice, about two years
ago, and who served eighteen months
of their friends before 1t was demon
strated that they were innocent and
who were recently pardoned by Gov
ernor Hayward, spent several days
here this week doing sign painting ana
window lettering. They are artists
and did some handsome work In this
city. Just by way Of parenthesis, 1t
does seem crying shame that these
men should not be renumerated by the
state for her .blunder in imprisoning
innocent men.
DIR. r. N. Bracket of, Clemson COL
lege is here this week and he made a
thorough inspection Of the plant and
surroundings Of the Water, Light and
Power Co., which furnishes. the city
with water, etc. In his rounds he was
accompanied by the city health board.
His finding Is that the water Is per-
fectly pure and safe at this time and
he gave as his opinion, without MAX
ing a geological survey and examina-
ton but with the statement Of those
who know of the formation through
which the deep we'll is sunk, that
there was only a bare possibility OF
future contamination. At the same
time as a matter Of abundant precau-
ton, and In order that there might be
no suspicion, he advised the authori-
ties to give close attention to the
drainage in the vicinity. In this work
the Water, Light and Power people
q
with the city.
Mr.. e. Lad Mobley, one Of our bright
young men, has gone to Kershaw to
take charge of the stock exchange,
which Mr. D. A. Hurley will open In
that town.
There has been complaint made In
various quarters that hunters have
begun shooting the young birds and
this has naturally aroused indignation
among the sportsmen. Five Of them
have dubbed together and will offer
reward for evidence to convict.
The Presbyterian Synod Of South
Carolina, which has been in session
here since Tuesday night, is engrossing
the attention of our people. The
church Is crowded to its full capacity
at each convention and the two hun
dred delegates are meeting with that
hospitality upon which Rock Hill
prides herself An unusual and very
interesting feature was brief speech
made before the synod Wednesday
evening by the Rev. Richard Carroll,
the well-known colored leader who
asked for this privilege. 1t was a
speech in which a number Of wise
things were said and which thorough
ly convinced the majority Of the audi
ence that the speaker Is earnest ana
honest In his endeavor to better his
race that he Is eminently correct In
his methods and that were his advice
needed by his brethren there would be
no race problem. His ideas as ex-
pressed are that the negroes are just
what the white people make them and
that where these are good the negroes,
who always initiate their white folks,
as a whole are like them. That the
negro must be taught to do his work,
whatever 1t is, just as we'll as he pos
sibly can and strive to please his en-
ployer His whole aim Is to teach the
negro first to be a Christian and next
to work and in doing so to realize that
the demand is for men and women
who can do certain things better than
anybody else can do those things. He
always recognizes that this Is the
white mans country and that he Is
fitted to rule and will always do so.
He commented on the fact that the
negro has more liberty and respect In
this country than anywhere, even In
Africa his native land, where he Is not
permitted to walk upon the sidewalks
Of the white mans cities. In connec-
ton with the ruling qualities Of the
white race he told the joke Of the old
negro's dream. He was telling his
friend that he dreamed that he died
and went to hell. did you see any
white folks down there?" PLENTY OF
