From mistaken notions many house
keepers wrap the ice in newspapers or
piece of a blanket before putting IL

that though the ice keeps SO well the
refrigerator is never cold When il
is understood that the principle of the
refrigerators rests upon the melting
and evaporating OF the ice. the reason
becomes plain to anyone.

HopsWsl! Happenings.

Hopewell, August 27.-There was an
all day singing at Hopewell Sunday,
which was an enjoyable occasion to one
and all. Quite shower of rain fell just
as the people began to gather at the
church. We don't think many got un-
comfortably sprinkled. 1t was only a
bad beginning to make a good ending.
1t turned out to be pleasant day. The
singing was good, being conducted by
Profs. Durham, Bearden and Grubbs.
They had the good fortune to have two
organs for tho occasion, and r A. e.
Golden, of Westminster, brought his
cornet, which afforded good music
within itself. With all the fine singers
that came from in and around Westmin-
ster, the singing was exceptionally good.
Hopewell folks were we'll pleased and
extend their heartiest thanks for the
fine singing and good behavior. The
crowd has our invitation to come again.
The protraoted meeting closed at
Hopewell Friday night. 1t seemed as
though the pastor preached unusually
good sermons during the entire week
and we hope everlasting good was done.
There were four additions to the church.

White Man Fatally Shot by Negro.

A fatal shooting affray occurred three
miles below Kingstree, S. c., last We'd
nesday night. in which w. o. Jones lost
his life at the hands of Primus Salters,
colored. 1t appears that Jones, Lee
Wise and Salters had been drinking dur
ing the day at Wise's house and towards
evening, the whiskey giving out, they
sent off to the dispensary at Kingstree
for fresh supply. When this came the
drinking was renewed and all hands be-
came drunk. 1t was not long before the
three became involved in free fight and
Jones was shot in the stomach by Salt
ers at close range with small shot. The
wound is a horrible one and the doctors
say he cannot live through the night.
Wise and Jones are white men and Salt
ers is negro. Both men have been
lodged in Jail.

Tom Miller Remains at CoIored College.

Columbia, August 27.-Thos. E. Miller
will remain at the head of the State Col
ored College at Orangeburg, as is the
wish of every white and colored friend of
that institution, which was born in his
brain, given life through his work and
made success by his untiring and un-
ceasing efforts. This result was arrived
at at meeting of the trustees of that
institution, at which every member but
one was present.
The trustees, without exception. re-
quested President Miller to withdraw
his resignation, which he did because he
was requested to do 80 by white and col
ored people in nearly every county OF
the State. He made his fight for high
morality in schools, but, regardless OF
the conduct of the two women teachers
their white friends in Charleston re-
quested their retention and the trustees
yielded to this pressure from Charleston
and retained them.
President Miller said that he felt that
he owed something to the two races
which had been so loyal to the institu-
ton and himself in the past ten years,
hence he yielded to their request. He
thanks every newspaper in the State,
white and colored, that has sustained
him in this fight, and will continue to dc
his very best for the interests of the
school as long as he Is at its head.

the best OF it after a while. We loved
Sergt. Jack, every man of US in "B" com
pany, and he had the sympathy of all his
comrades.
Things were thus when it came our
turn one night to go into the rifle pits on
the line nearest the Confederates. We
had to march down from camp by covered
ways and crawl into the pits like so
many serpents Death was there waiting
for any man who but showed his head
above a pit. Not a finger could be held
up without dozen bullets being fred at
it, On this night it was bright moon
light-so bright that one could see every
leaf and blade of grass and every insect
moving about. The great guns were 81
lent after a hot days work, but there
was a spiteful and murderous fire of mus
kerry along the rife pits. The bullets
whizzed above our heads in a vengeful
way, and the officers kept crying: Look
out, men-keep down." as we neared the
pits Men dropped off here and there
till only six of us were left, and Sergt.
Jack had charge of placing US. The men
in the pits had to come out first, and
as soon as they got the signal they began
the movement. We were watching them
as they wormed themselves along the
ground when Sergt. Jack suddenly ut
tered a groan. 1t was not a groan of
pain, but of anguish-such a sound as a
strong man might make when he felt his
heart breaking over his grief. All of US
turned to hook at him, and as we did 50
he stepped out from under shelter into
II. ~, ls,l,% CO.
to face with Death
Down, Sergeant-come back-look
out!' ~ we shouted at him, but he drew
himself up and walked straight toward
the Confederate lines. His appearance
amazed the sharpshooters for half min
ute So bright was the moonlight that
they could look right into his eyes. 1t
was not the act Of a brave man none of
them would put it down to bravado. He
was not a deserter seeking admission to
their lines. We shouted to them not to
shoot-that our sergeant had lost his
mind-and those directly in front heard
US and withheld their fire. Those on the
TANKS, however, could not catch our
words, and probably believing that some
hostile movement was contemplated, a
score of muskets blazed away at the tar
get in the moonlight. We saw Sergt.
Jack halt-totter-throw up his hands
and sink down, and we knew that he was
dead-had courted death because there
was nothing more in life for him. We
crept out and rescued his body for a SOL
dier's burial. More than a dozen bullets
had struck him, and on his face was a
look of relief-a look which came there in
his dying moment as he realized that
death would end all.

Gorky's Marriage ReIntions.

Since the general cutlery against Max
i'm Gorky, the Russi2n writer and revo-
lutionist, when it was made known that
Nine. Andreiva was not legally his wife
and that he had not a legal divorce from
his first wife, a statement of his side of
the case by Leroy Scott has been pub
lished. 1t appears that Mr.. Gorky's mar
riage with his first wife was unhappy and
that separation by mutual consent oc-
CURED three years ago. For political, Ie-
gal and moral reasons it was impossible
for them to obtain a divorce The diff
Guilty of securing divorces and the disrep-
uta5le means that must be employed nave
created the custom in Russia of accepting
a man and woman as husband and wife
who publicly acknowledge that relation.
The first Mrs. Gorky was remarked, ac-
coriing to this custom, which has existed
for over sixty years. 1t was under these
circumstances that Mr.. Gorky was joined
to Nine. Andreiva, who was woman of
noble family and an actress Of high stand
ing, who gave all to the cause of liberty.
In this aspect of the case the condemna-
ton of the American attitude toward
GorlIy by the press of Europe has now
become somewhat more intelligjble
