would have been a very good market.

RACE PREJUDICE In ALABAMA.-Ovel
100 students left Talladega, Ala, COL
lege (colored) yesterday because g
southern white man, L. o. Parks, OF
this county, was employed as superin-
tendent Of the college farm. The stu
dents demanded his discharge, and thai
was refused by President B. M. Nice
They appealed to DR.. S. H. Baird, Sec
retary of the American Missionary So
ciety Of New York, which fosters Tai
ladega college.
DR.. Baird upheld President Nice and
as the result the students left college
The main objection to Mr.. Parks, II
is asserted, was that he was a south
ern white man. The students were
quiet and orderly, but never wavered
in their determination to leave college
IL Mr.. Parks was retained and the
faculty, which for the most part Is
composed of northern white people
were as determined that he should
stay.
The students body numbers nearly
1000 males and females, and many OF
those who left the college were female

Fort Ormand, Fla, special of
January 81 to the News and Courier:
Charles Hamilton, the young Califor-
nian who makes ascents in his kite,
narrowly escaped death on the beach
here today. The kite, strange look
ing affair, built after the Langley plan,
was placed in an oblique position, and
by a stout rope hitched to an automo-
bile. On a signal the automobile
started and up went the kite, with
Hamilton sitting in a network Of
ropes. At an altitude of several hun
dred feet the strong wind made the
pull too hard for the automobile,
which was nearly lifted off the ground.
In descending the kite ducked into
the corner of a bath house and Ham,
ilton was thrown out and the
kite wrecked. The kiter landed on
a plank walk and lay still while a
crowd gathered around him. When
asked II he was badly hurt Hamilton
replied, 1--WE lost my cigar and my
right leg Is broken" He was unin-
jured, however, and says he will try
again when the kite is fixed up.

A GREAT CHANcE.-He entered tim
idly, says an exchange. He stood be-
fort the editor, twisting the brim OF
his soft black hat, with long, white
poetic fingers.
'I am sorry" said the editor, Il am
very sorry. But we cannot use your
poem. That is final"
Tears welled up in the young mans
eyes. He swallowed.
"why?" he said.
We'll, to be candid the editor re-
piled, neither in prosody nor in con-
struction is this poem meritorious.
The idea is old. The sentiment Is
maudlin. The expression is atrocious.
The rhymes are VILE"
But now a light, as Of great Joy, IL
lumined the poets face and he cried
eagerly.
Give me back my manuscript. Give
1t back to me-"
"Very WELL" said the editor but
don't see what you can do with 1t.

qualifications, you ascribe to it, un-
doubtedly it will be the hit Of the sea-

Fitzpatrick, ran off to the Spaniards,
and communicated to them the unset
tied state Of things at Ashley river.
The Spanish sent out party Of men
who encamped at st. Helena island.
Captain Godfrey was sent out with
body of fifty men. So soon as God
frey approached the post Of the Span
iards they fled.
In order to meet the necessities Of
the colony, one ship was sent to Vir-
ginia and another to Barbados to
bring supplies. Before these returned

arrived. This changed the appear
ance Of things. Florence O'Sullivan
was required to give security for his
future good behavior.
This calamity taught the colonists
very important lesson. 1t taught
them to depend on themselves. 1t
was an evil in itself; but 1t resulted in
good. The attentive observer of
events cannot fail to discover the su-
perintending providence Of God in the
most trivial occurrences.
In the neighborhood Of Ashley river
colony, there lived two powerful tribes
Of Indians-the Westoes and Saranas.
Isindiga, now called the Savannah
river. The former were the relentless
and uncompromising enemies of the
white man. Between these two for
midable tribes a fierce war broke out
about the time Of the disturbances In
the colony at Ashley river. So bitter
ly was 1t waged that both tribes were
completely ruined. 1t Is worth re-
marking in this connection that Prov
idence seems to have paved the way
for the settlement Of South Carolina
by reducing in one way and another
the number of Indians.
Previous to the settlement Of the
state by the English, disaster had
greatly reduced the number Of some
Of the tribes, and the hostility Of the
tribes to each other kept their ranks
thinned.
It should not be forgotten that Ash
ley Cooper, one Of the original pro-
prietors, by his agent, DR.. Henry
Woodward, purchased, in 1875, a
large tract of country from the In
dians. The deed of transfer specifies
the country sold as that Of the Great
and Lesser Castor, lying on the river
Kyewaw," (now called Ashley) 1.-The
river Edisto." The price paid was
valuable parcel Of cloth. hatchets,
beads and other goods and manusac-
lures" This deed was signed and
sealed by the marks and seals Of four
chiefs, with the marks of eleven war
captains, and what is stranger still, by
fourteen women captains" If Penn
sylvania can boast that William Penn
purchased her territory from the In
dians, South Carolina can boast that
Lord Shaftesbury purchased at least
part Of the present state of South Car
olina.
At q later date, the Indians ceded to
the English all their lands as far as
the Appalachian mountains. This last
grant seems to be accompanied with
no compensation.
The fact that Ashley Cooper Earl
of Shaftesbury. was the author of the
Habeas Corpus act, and that he, at
least in part, purchased the soil of
South Carolina from the Indians,
should cause his name to be held in
grateful remembrance.
