Took the Wrong House.

On one of the Southern railroads there
is q station building that is commonly
known by travellers as the smallest rail.
road station in America. It is of this
station that the story is told that an old
farmer was expecting chicken house to
arrive there and he sent one of his hands,
q newcomer, to fetch it. Arriving there
the man saw the house, loaded it onto
his wagon, and started for home. On the
way he met a man in uniform, with the
words 'sstation agent" on his cap.
aSay, hold on. What have you got on
that wagon?" he asked.
"a chicken house," was the reply.
"Chicken house be jiggered" exploded
the official. "That's the station"

Negro's Inflammatory Speech.

New YORK, Oct. 10.-"Such men
as Hoke Smith, John Temple Graves,
Vardaman and Tillman ought not to
be able to obtain any service from
the colored man." said Oswald G.
Willard in an address before the
American Council in session here.
Willard declared no negro should
think of contributing one cent for
the support of anti-negro newspapers
in Georgia. He urged negroes to
organize and fight for their rights.
He said the time is ripe for serving
notice on the country that further
efforts to degrade the, negro, to
create a republic with millions OF
persons taxed but not represented,
will be fought from now on.
Leave numbering in cold blood to
the race that proudly calls itself su-
perior, better civilized" "

NEGRO COLLEGE BLOWN UP.
Institution at Seneca Dynamited Last Friday
Nisht-The President Had Been
Warned to Leave.

ANDERSON, October 13.-Word was
received here this afternoon from
Seneca that Harrell college, negro
institution there, was blown up by
dynamite about midnight last night.
Rev. ]. F. Williams, colored, pre-
sided over the college and it was sup
ported by Northern white people.
He went to Seneca from Abbeville
several years ago, and it is said has
made himself very Objectionable to
the white people since his arrival.
He has preached incendiary doc
trines, it is alleged, and has advised
the negroes not to work for the
white people. On account Of all this
a letter of warning was sent him
several weeks ago advising him to
leave Seneca, but it seems he paid
no attention to it.
Dynamite cartridges were placed
under each corner of the negro COL
lege building last night by some par
ties whose names are unknown and
when the clock struck midnight the
dynamite was ignited, which parti-
ally wrecked the building. The build
ing was not completely demolished,
but was very badly shattered and
very extensive repairs will be re-
quired before it can be used again.
It is very probable that Williams will
leave Seneca, but up to 2 o'clock this
afternoon it was understood that he
had not departed.
There are two negro colleges at
Seneca, but the other one stands well
with the people there. .

No Religious Bias

A certain theatrical manager of
Chicago tells of an Irish policeman in
that city possessing Dogberry-like
traits. On one occasion, atmidnight,
the custodian of the law overhauled
a sleep-walker who was promenadipg
a principal thoroughfare clad only in
his night rbees. When the officer
had awakened the unfortunate man,
placed him under arrest, and was
hustling him off to the station, the
sleep-walker exclaimed, with indig-
nation:
Surely you are not going to lock
me up?'
"Surest thing you know!' airily
responded the bluecoat.
why, man, l can't be held respon-
sible for the predicament you find
me in! am somnambulist !"
"Sure, it makes no difference what
church We belong to-" sharply re-
turned the officer; ''ye can't parade
the streets of Chicago in your nighty!'

Charleston's Gala Week.

Military day of Charleston's C great.
er gala week will be November Z.
The guard mount and parade will be
held in the afternoon. The guard
mount will take place on Marion
square and the hour will depend
upon the number of squads that
enter the contest, but will probably
commence at 4.30 o'clock. After
the guard mount the line of march
will be taken up along the principal
streets and after passing the review
ing officers the parade will be dis
missed. From replies received from
out-of-tow companies to the inv
tation to enter the guard mount it if
certain that many of them will send
squads to the city to enter the con-
test, and the success of the exhibi-
ton is already assured. All the
companies in Charleston will be rep
resented, besides others of the Srd
regiment and some from the other
regiments of the State. The prizes
offered are worth competing for,
and the competition will be keen and
interestiong.
Each company entering the guard
mount is required to send detail of
twelve men, and shortly before the
exhibition the officers will hold
an inspection and designate nine who
go into the contest. Companies are
allowed to furnish a detail for the
battalion, and can also enter sepa-
rate squad, which will represent the
company Individually
Besides the competitive guard
mount there will be a grand parade
and review, which will be partici-
pated in by the companies of the Ma
tional Guard, the cadets of the South
Carolina Military Academy and the
Porter Military Academy and the
companies of coast artillery, United
States regulars, stationed at Sulli-
vans Island. The parade will be the
largest since the Exposition, and will
be enjoyed alike by Charlestonians
and visitors from other parts of the
State and other States.

Bullet Carried Al Years.

Mr.. R. J. M. Steele, one of Lancas-
ter's we'll known Confederate veter-
ans, who has been carrying a bullet,
received in battle, since the last day
of March 1865, went over to Chester
a few days ago to have DR.. Pryor
locate the missile by means of the X
ray and to remove it if possible, as it
gives him constant pain. The bullet
was found under the left shoulder
blade near the joint, but DR.. Pryor
advised Mr.. Steele not to have it cut
out as the operation would, be a
dangerous one.-Lancaster News.

she asked me to pray for rain.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT ON PUBLIC HIGH.
WAY IN COLUMBIA.
Lady Addressed in Familiar Manner by Two
Negroes Who We're Riding Horseback,

Lady Addressed in Familiar Manner by Two
Negroes Who We're Riding Horseback,
An outrageous piece of effrontery
was offered to Mrs. W. W. Pearce
yesterday. Two negro men deliber-
ately stopped her buggy as she was
coming into the city and spoke to her
in the most violent fashion.
The incident occurred in Shandon.
Mrs. Pearce was coming from her
home Just beyond the Davis place.
She observed two negro men mount
ed on beautiful horses. One lost his
hat. The two negroes then rode up
to her buggy and the older of the
two turned his horse directly in front
Of Mrs. Pearce's buggy.
"Say," said the negro in a most
insolent manner, ''this gentleman
says pick up his hat" Mrs. Pearce
was too much frightened. TO observe
whether or not the negroes were
drunk, but she lashed her horse
furiously and he straightforward,
brushing aside the horse in front.
Mrs. Pearce drove rapidly to the
home Of her sister, Mrs. H. Shorter
Watson, and told what had happened.
AS soon as Mr.. Pearce could be in
formed he began to hunt for the two
negroes. He learned from negroes
in the vicinity that these two men
had been racing their horses on
Woodrow street. The others were
unable to give any description of the,
horses, but Mrs. >Pearce says that
they are chestnut and sorrel. She
was particularly struck with the ap-
pearance of the animals and thinks
they may be regular race horses.
One of the negroes was not grown,
perhaps about Is years old. He was
lighter in color than the grown man.
The latter is the one who rode In
front of Mrs. Pearce's buggy. He.
was very well dressed. Z Columbia

Fitting School Notes.

We think that the change of
weather received a welcome at the
hands of the students.
On last Sunday morning the stu
dents assembled for the purpose of
reorganizing the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. The great benefit
to be derived from the association
was pointed out, and much interest
manifested. The association received
practically unanimous enrolment,
and those most interested are much
gratifed and think that good work
will be done in the association this
year. The following were elected
officers of the Association: John w.
Bell, president; John W. Huffman,
vice-president; Ernest HERS, secre-
tary and treasurer.
Prof. Roberts spent part of the
holidays ''out of town."
Miss Edna Chitty went home for
the holidays.
We are glad to welcome among us

days on the campus last week.
Miss Elizabeth Mcmillan accom-
companied Miss Margaret Jennings
to her home, where they enjoyed the
holidays together.
Misses Sudie Ritter and Katie Car
ter were visited by relatives during
the week.
John Huffman spent Monday in
Orangeburg,
Miss Leonie Ashe went home for
the holidays.
Misses jamie Bell Sanders, Aline
Westberry, Sudie Ritter and Jennie
Heron were somewhat indisposed
for a few days during the week.
David Smoak and his sister, Miss
Carrie, were home for the holidays.
This bit Of anonymous verse
chanced to fall into our hands a few
days ago. It shows that there is
some poetic genius afoat upon the
campus. It bears the title, Irony"
Bamberg, center of all culture,
Refinement and hustling life;
When the future historian
Shall tell the story Of cities,
Whose glories'will eclipse
The grandeur that belongs to
Greece and Rome, thou
Shalt be the star, whose effulgence,
Like the northern lights, shall
Illumine mighty worlds beyond;
And we, poor, benighted travellers
Upon this little Orb, shall
Stand still and wonder.
Not as the "loveliest village of
The plain" shall poets sing
Of thee; but rather as mighty
Giant: more wonderful than Honer's
Troy, or Virgil's glorious Rome.

the community is profuse in its express
