Means for Enforcement.

THE organic act and the appropriation
act made to provide means for its enforce
ment for the fiscal year 1907 are, to put 1t
mildly, not models of clearness or CO.
hNent definite thought
The act throughout all its parts assumes
as fact that certain course will be
followed as to the appointment or retention
of the teachers making up the great body
of the teaching force of the District schools
at the time of its passage. This assumption
has been justified by the act of the board
of education in retaining almost all of
the old teachers. But II would seem by its
unmistakable language. notwithstanding this
assumption of fact, to authorize the APP
pointing power to disregard this idea and
appoint teachers ad hbitum either by re-
tanning them or by appointing new persons.
The organic act being of the greatest
public Importance should not fail of en-
forcement on account of antiquities or un-
certainties, If il is at all possible to har-
monte its various parts by giving to each
word therein its ordinary and usual mean
ing In the connection in which found. If
by so doing the mind is forced to ascertain
conclusion as to the legislative inteat, such
conclusion should be made effective with

bates on the floor of Congress.

Ants Kill q Rather.

A hunter tells an interesting story Of
the way in which a colony Of red ants
put to death rattlesnake which dared to
disturb their abode. he was out hunting
when he saw the rattler and started to
put load of shot into the reptile when
he noticed that it WAS headed straight for
an ant hill, of unusual size and waited to
watch the proceedings. It had hardly
got half way across the mound when q
big red ant hastened to the attack and
sank his nippers into the snakes body.
In less than two minutes he was Joined
by the whole colony, which practically
covered the whole body of the rattler,
each one sinking its scissors-like blades
into the intruder's body. The snake be-
gan to thrash and squirm, but the ants
held on like bulldogs. The rattler's fury
grew so great that he sank his fangs into
his own body, then Strengthened out after
a few more convulsive efforts to get
away and was dead in less than ten min
utes after the first ant had mounted his
body.-Kansas City Journal.

No Respecter Of Persons.

Rev. John Matthews was a pioneer
Methodist preacher, of Alabama, in the
days when preachers were privileged
characters and consequently prone to &C.
centricities. His wife was sane and had
views much broader than her husband.
On one occasion she sold bureau and
used the money with which to buy herself
hat. On the following Sunday while
Matthews was preaching, he was annoy
ed by the people in the congregation
turning their heads to look at the late
ones, and he said:
Now please, brethren and sisters, don't
look around anymore and I'll tell you
who comes in.
This he did, calling off names in loud
tones, greatly to the embarrassment OF
the tardy ones. Finally, his wife, who
was very late, appeared at the door, he
said:
"Make way there for sister Matthews
She is coming down the aisle with bu-
reau on her head"

Value Of q Newspaper.

I never took paper that didn't pay
me more than I paid for it. One time an
old friend of mine started a paper way
down South and sent copy to me and I
subscribed just to encourage him and af-
ter awhile it published an order to sell a
lot at public auction. So inquired
about the lot and told friend to run it
up to $50. He bid off the lot at $3s and
it sold in less than a month for 800, so
made $62 dollars clear by taking that
paper. My father told me that when he
was young man he saw notice in q
paper that a school teacher was wanted
away off in a distant county, and he
went and got the situation, and little
girl was sent to him and after awhile
she grew up sweet and beautiful and he
married her. Now If he had not taken
the paper what do you suppose would
have become of me? would have been
some other fellow, or maybe wouldn't
have been at all.-Bill Arp.

A Sad Death.

My father, Jacob A. HERS, died at his
home in Hampton county last Wednes-
day morning, after an illness of some
duration, in fact he had been in bad
health for some time but his death came
as shock to his large circle of friends
and numerous relatives. He was seventy
eight years and few months old and
leaves wife, three sons, and one daugh'
ter to mourn his death. The funeral and
burial took place at Hopewell church
Thursday.
He was an admirable Christian, and
had many relatives and friends in both
Bamberg and Hampton. he was an old
Confederate soldier, and served three
years in the war. BE moved from the
lower part of Barnwell county, now
Bamberg, to Hampton about twenty-five
years ago. Many hearts will sorrow be-
cause of his untimely death. G.. F. H.

Teachers Elected.

At meeting Of the new board Of trus-
tees Of the Bamberg graded school last
Friday afternoon, principal and teach
ers were elected for the school the COM
ing year: Mr.. 81. G.. Sheridan, who has
been Headmaster Of the Carlisle Fitting
School for several; years, was elected
principal. he was not an applicant for
the position, so we understand, having
already accepted the school at Lake City,
Williamsburg county. The board here
rendered the position, and he sought and
obtained his release from the Lake City
people.
The following teachers were elected:
Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, Bamberg; Miss
Maggie May Zeigler, Cope; Miss Mamie
Connor, Branchville; Miss LA Elita OFT,
Bamberg. All these taught in the school
last year. Miss Harmon, one Of the
teachers of last session, did not apply for
reelection. Miss Matte Ketchins, OF
Winnsboro, who has just graduated at
Winthrop college, was elected to fill the
additional place in the faculty.
The board raised the salary of princi-
pal to $1,000 year, and the teachers are
to receive $4,000 per month, instead of
$500, as paid last year.

How Women are Treated in the North

Recently beautiful girl of nineteen
was standing upon the platform of a
Brooklyn bridge car because she could
not get inside of it. At the New York
end of the bridge the conductor opened
the gates. Before the girl could step off
a crowd of men in a hurry brushed BY,
knocking her down. None stopped to
pick her up, but trampled upon her and
ran on, followed by more of the brutal
mob, who walked over her body in the
same manner. When the police, attracted
by her screams, had beaten the toughs
over the head with their clubs and at
length picked the girl up, it was found
that her left arm was broken, her right
shoulder dislocated and her head badly
cut. Only for the police she would have
been trampled to death.
And yet these are the same sort of peo-
pie who blow off their mouths about the
negro's treatment in the South. There
is no danger of negro woman being
treated this way in any Southern city.

In MemOriam.

On Sunday morning, the 9Th of May,
1905, in the 34th year of her age, the
sweet spirit of Evelina Wilson, wife OF
W. 1. Johns, passed heavenward. She
leaves husband, four children, a father
and three sisters.
"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to ,wither at the North
winds breath,
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
Death"
To US who knew and loved her, it
seems so hard, so strange and unaccount.
able that dear Evelina should have been
taken, just in the prime of womanhood,
Just when her little ones were clinging
to her for guidance; but we know that
with God there can be no mistakes, and
that some day when the mists Of earth
have been dispelled, when this veil of
sense shall have been removed, we shall
understand and know the meaning of all
these sad experiences, and shall praise
Him for his boundless love to US. "What
I do, thou knowest not now but thou
shalt know hereafter"
She was lovely in person and in char.
acter. She was q consistent Christian
and q member Of Mt. Arnon Baptist
church. Her life is a precious memory
to those who knew her.
"a perfect woman nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet spirit still and bright
With something of an angels light"
"For the most loved are they
OF whom Fame speaks not with her
clarion voice
In regal halls! the shades o'erhang their
way;
The vale, with its deep fountains is
their choice,
And gentle hearts rejoice
Around their steps!-till silently they die
As a stream shrinks from summers
burning heat"

CATCH DRUNKEN FISH.

Thirteen Thousand Gallons Of Whiskev in Stream
and Fish Become Sportive.
FRANKLIN, KY., June 12.-Since early
morning farmers along the banks OF Ben
son creek have been gathering in baskets
and catching with their hands thousands
of live fish that became intoxicated by the
breaking of the fake stand at the Fitz'
gerald distillery. More than $4,000 GAL
Ions of whiskeywere turned in the stream.
In droves the fish came to the surface of
the water, sporting around and cut the
most fantastic capers. They seemed to be
about 8 sheets in the wind, and generally
disported themselves in the most unfnny-
like manner. The distillery will lose
about $25,OO0 in addition to being forced
to shut down for repairs.
