WILL PROSECUTE SHERIFF.
Governor Takes Summary Action in
the Case Of the Lynching Near
St. George.

Governor Hayward is now goin" to
see what the juries arc going to do
about the lynchin@ habit, says the
Columbia correspondent OF the News
and Courier. fTe thinks the time has
come for action and he expects to
have an indictment sworn out against
those known to be in lynching par
ties and against officers who turn
prisoners over to lynchin" picnics.
He requested Solicitor Hildebrand to
go to the scene Of the Dorchester
lynching and represent the State at
the inquest. The inquest was held
and the usual verdict was rendered. A
complete copy Of the testimony was
sent Governor Hayward. He read
over the testimony and is persnally Of
the opinion that the sheriff Of Dor
chester county did not do all he might
or could have done to protect the ne
gro prisoner. Under the law he can
direct a prosecution to remove the
sheriff, and this he has done. He
thinks that Officers Of the law ought
to more fully appreciate their re-
sponsibility and he has directed the
immediate prosecution Of Sheriff
Limehouse on the charge provided for
in the Constitution. The letter to
Solicitor F[ildebrand reads:
August 25, 1906.
Hon. p. r. Ffildebrand, Solicitor.
Orangeburg, S. C.-Dear Sir: T am in
receipt of a copy of the testimony TAX

NEW SPELLING METHOD
It Has Been Officially Endorsed BY
The Nations Head.

President Roosevelt has endorsed
the Carnegie spelling reform move
ment. He issued orders To Public
Printer Stellines that hereafter all
messages form the president and all
other documents rmanating from the
White House shall be printed in ac-
rordanrc with the recommendation Of
the spelling reform committees hcnd-
ed by l'randcr Matthews. professor of
English at Columbia university. This
committee has published list Of 300
words in which spelling is reformed.
This list contains such words as
"thru' and "tho' as the spelling for
"through and though" The pres
idcnt s official sanction Of this re-
form movement is regarded as the
speediest and most effective method
OF inaugurating the new system Of
spelling throughout the country. Not
only will the printed documents cman-
ating from the president utilize the
reform spelling, but his correspond
cnrc will be spelled in the new STYLE
Secretary Loeb has sent for the list of
300 words which have been reformed
and upon its arrival will Immediately
order all correspondence Of the presi-
dent and lire executive force Of the
Whit" House spelled in accordance
herewith. AS The spelling reform
committee shall adopt new reforms
they will be added to the president s
list and also to that of the public
printer.
While the order to the public print
er today does not contemplate an i'm
mediate reform in the spelling Of the
official documents f'rl the rxcru-
tive departments in Washington. ii
is regarded more than likely that The
respective heads of the departments
will fall in line with the president >
ideas and have their nffiral documents $
printed in the new spelling.

are talented who make a good income
by painting flowers and butterflies
on muslins and gauzes and taking
them around for sale to leading dress
makers. One house in Fifth avenue
is selling white japanese bIouses with

BACKWARD CHILDREN HELPED,
Successful School Conducted Espec-

One Of the most interesting institu-
tions in Springfield, the 'City Of Spe-
ciaI Schools,' described by Marion
MoIius in the September Everybody $,
is thus pictured.
"When it was first announced that
Il school was to be started for peculiar
or feeble-minded children there was
a storm Of protest. 1t was bailed as
a 'dunce school, and parents declared
Indignantly that it would be a cry
ing shame to send a boy or girl to
such a place. The educational au-
thnrities did not insist that any child
should be sent to this special school,
but they quietly began work with a
few pupils. Shortly these children
proved so much happier in the room
set apart for them, where they were
not buIlied by the bright, normal chill
drcn, and benefited so noticeably by
the individual attention given them,
that all prejudice against the school
vanished; and parents are now glad
ly sending there such children as fall
far below the intellectual average,
whose presence in the regular school
room is burden to themselves and
to their teachers. Boys predominate

A Thing of Beauty Is a-Drain |!

At dinner OF the Sanitary Inspec-

art and sanitation seemed far apart.
'Would you compare art,' some
would say, "with drain running
down a street2' "Yet one Of the
loveliest things in the world was a
drain (laughter)-when it was con-
secrated by art in the form Of a gar
g0yle on the roof of a cathedral. The
two were not so far apart. Art waa
the science Of beauty; sanitation was
the science Of health; and what were
beauty and health If they were nc,

Mr.. Cannon, after the passage of a

Congressional Fight First.
GAS you are aware the election will
be held in November next. In politics
as we'll as in other matters it is best
not to cross stream until you come
to it. The first stream to cross is in
November next and it is necessary
that we should be successful in cross
ing it before we attempt to get over
the river in 1908. If in November the
Republican party shall again be
clothed with the power in the national
congress and the first session of the
Sixtieth congress can succeed in max
ing approximately as good record as
was made by the first session of the
Fifty-ninth congress, which has just
come to a close, coupled with the addi-
ton of wise administration by the
chief executive and the impartial en-
forcement of the laws, the party will
deserve and, in my judgment, will re-
ceive the approval of the people in
1908. 1t is too early to determine the
personnel of the national ticket for
the presidential election.
$50 far as the Republican party is
concerned it will no doubt, in conven-
ton assembled, perform that duty
wisely when the time comes and who
ever Is chosen for leadership will
surely receive the hearty support of
those who believe in the policies of
the Republican party, of which am 3
humble member. These policies are
vital for the best interests and vel
fare of all the people. No man would
refuse the nomination at the hands Of
q great party for the highest Office In
the republic, but such nomination Is
not to be had for the seeking"

About three weeks ago the mines Of

changed from union to nonunion. At
that time an outbreak was appre-
hended and the sherif and deputy
sherifrs were notified to be in readi-
ness, but until now 1t did not pass the
stage Of threats.
During the evening about thirty non
union miners assembled at Butler
Junction and were enjoying them
selves In a quiet way when they were
suddenly attacked by the men whom
they had supplanted at the mines.
The union miners were in superior
numbers and made short work of the
others. Sticks, stones and knives were
used as the attacking weapons, with
the result that nearly every one Of
the nonunion miners sustained some
kind of an injury Finally the assail-
ants retired and it was found that Rea-
way had been fatally wounded and
Mosely was missing.
1t was claimed by Mosely's COM
pantons that he had been thrown into
the Allegheny river, after being beaten
into insensibility, but this lacks con-

1t was some time before the nonun-

these escaped while en- route to Pitts.
