HUMBLE AGENTS.

The passing of the sidewalk restaurant is one of
the most interesting features of the present stage
of the restoration of the city. Immediately after
the fire the city found itself in a sort of sidewalk
restaurant era In the downtown district there
was little else in sight ashes 1t filed press
ing want: also the empty stomachs of manv
hungry San Franciscans ranging in station from
the street newsboy to multi-nillionaire To all
alike in those days of cooling ashes 2o-cent ham

sidewalk restaurant hourished and multiplied for
II was the day of the sidewalk restaurant.
And then the ashes cooled and wooden and cor
rugated iron buildings began to go up in all direc-
tions. Not few of these new buildings were oc-
cupied by restaurants many degrees in advance of
the sidewalk variety. The day of the corrugated
iron restaurant had come, and the day OF the
sidewalk restaurant waned. To be sure they
still survive but the day of their glory-and their
profits gone. The most conspicuous things
about them are the For sale" and the ITO

THE NEEDS OF THE NATION.

General Stewart L. Woodford formerly Min
lister to China, in delivering the commencement
address at the Northwestern University, Chicago,
Friday night, stated that the great needs of the
nation are education, observance of truth and
reverence for the law. The general very correctly
held that upon these the future not only of the re-
public but of the depends Ignorance, false
hood and corruption in the administration of
public affairs undermine the race and the nation,
be they European American, yellow or white,
republic or monarchy.
The great lesson of the Russo-Japanese war
was that ignorance and corruption cannot sue
cessfully contend with integrity. The Japanese
were educated in the sense that their natural
talents had been developed in the administration
of their affairs there was little or no corruption
The Russians, on the other hand were densey
ignorant. A people of fine talent those in the
ranks had been permitted to sink into condition
little above that of the brute In the admnstra-
ton of the several departments corruption was in
everything, from the corrupt tip of the lowest COM
missioned officer to the graft of the Grand Duke
charged with supplying the navy with coal. And
Russia, the great nation went down in defeat be-
fore Japan, the small But the fight was lost to
Russia before regiment left for Manchuria or
battleship sailed for the China Sea- The ignorance
and corruption against which General Woodford
warned the graduating class of the Northwestern
University had rendered her inefficient and help

Railroad Mans Prayer.

The following is the text of 'Srailroad
mans prayer" pasted on the fireman's
side of the switch engine in the Northern
Pacific yards in Spokane:
Nov that have tagged Thee, lift up
nv feet from the rough road of life and
plant them safely on the deck of the
train of salvation. Let me use the safety
lamp Of prudence, make all the couplings
with the link of love, and let my hand
lamp be the Bible, and keep all switches
closed that lead off the main line into the

Tom Miller on the Stump.

1t is said that Thomas Miller, President
of the State College for colored people at
Orangeburg, will 60 to Tennessee to take
part in the campaign in that State, and
will make number of speeches for Hen
ry Clay Evans, the Republican candidate
for Governor. President Miller has not
been very active in politics in recent
years, but he has Always had a hankering
for the hustings and will probably be of
some assistance to Mr.. Evans in his race.
Several weeks ago he offered his resigna.
tion as President of the College at
Orangeburg, but it was not accepted by
the trustees, and he is still nominally con-
nected with that Institution. If the trus-
tees find that the.report of his participa.
tion in the political affairs of neighbor-
ing State be true, we do not see how they
could longer insist upon his retaining his
position at the head of the colored col.
lege. Politics and pedagogy do not 60
very well together. What is needed at
Orangeburg is teacher, not a politician.

MILL OPERATIVES OBJECT TO GERMANS.
Immigrants Brought to Virginia Will Stand
bv Workers-All Will Leave Country.

DANv1LLE, Va, July 1.-THE IL Ger
man immigrants, whose employment at
the Riverside Cotton mills as weavers
caused go of the old operatives, who OBJ
iected to working with the foreigners, to
quit work and 60 on a strike yesterday,
have resigned their positions with the
mills. When the mill in which the
trouble was started opened this morning
only four of the Germans returned to
work and these were stoned by unknown
parties. The strikers returned to the
mills, and when they saw the Germans
there they filed out and to their ranks
were added about 25 more of the opera
tives. The Germans are expected to
leave the city tonight and the mill off,
cials hope to see all the strikers return to
their posts in the morning. The foreign
ers would not work on account of alleged
intimidation and left contrary to the ad-
vice of the mill officials.

Some time ago in a Mississippi court,
colored man sued a neighbor for dam
ages for killing his dog, says the Mime
apolis Journal.
Col. Blank, the attorney for the de-
fense, called Sam Parker, colored gen.
tleman to the witness stand to prove the
dog was worthless cur, for whose de-
struction no damages should be recovered.
"Sam, did you know this dog?" asked
the Colonel, beginning the examination
of the colored man.
"Yas, sab, I wer' pussonally acquainted
wild dat dog" answered Sam.
"Well, tell the jury what sort of a dog
it was," commanded the Colonel.
"He wer' big yaller dog" was the
reply.
"What was he good for?" came the
next question.
"Well," said Sam, che wouldn't hunt;
he wouldn't do no guard duty; he jes'

He and Ephriam Murphy Engage in Fatal Pistol
Duel in Cough Ga.

News has been received here that Mr..
Harry L. Rowell, son of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
A. W. Rowell, of Bamberg, was killed
Monday, July 18th, at Cough, Ca, while
engaged in a pistol duel with Ephriam
Murphy, also white man.
TIE particulars are about as follows:
Saturday Rowell and Murphy had some
words which amounted to disagreement.
Monday afternoon they met again, and
after few words had been spoken, both
reached for their pistols and began firing.
Both evidently were determined to fight
to the death, for both weapons were
emptied, and the shots we're towards the
heart. Murphy died almost instantly,
never speaking. Rowell was wounded
fatally by several balls which went near
the heart; he died that night about II
o'clock.
The parents of Rowell were telegraph
ed to by the people with whom he had
been boarding, but they never heard of
his death until they were shown letter
received by The Herald from Judge T. S.
Weeks, formerly of Bamberg. The in
terment took place at Cough the day fol-
lowing the sad affair.
Harry Rowell was we'll known here,
having lived here until short time ago,
when he went to Georgia. He was first
class painter, and was generally consid-
cred young man of quiet habits and at
tentive to business. He was about twen-
ty-two or three years of age, and married
Miss Mamie Templeton, daughter of
the late John Templeton, of Blackville.

The Blue JanitOr.

Bishop McVicar, of Providence, said Of
tedious sermons:
"The worst case of this kind that ever
heard of occurred in Philadelphia, where
used to live.
"There was little old church on the
outskirts of Philadelphia that had an old
clergyman who was noted for the dryness
of his sermons.
1T is said that one Sunday morning the
old gentleman preached a sermon 80
amazingly long and dull that the congre-
CATION diminished one by one until only
the janitor and himself were left.
"But the clergyman apparently uncon-
scious of all this kept right on until the
janitor, seeing no prospect of relief, finan-
" gave in also, and handing up the keys
to the minister, said:

said Senator Chandler, "provided enough

when I was boy attended many a
fourth of July picnic, and glorious times
we used to have; but now and then the
food supply would be scant, and then I
came home feeling like patient conva-
lescing from typhoid.
"You know how hungry this kind of
patient always is, and how light is the
fare that the doctor allows him.
"Well,' said the doctor to one of thes /,
convalescing patients, how are you to-
day? Could you eat small chicken?
"That I could the patient replied.

THE JURY ASKS FOR A PARDON.
For Woman in Darlington County Whose
Chief Crime Appears to be Ignorance.

Chief Crime Appears to be Ignorance.
Governor Hayward yesterday received
a petition asking for the pardon of Amy
Addison, woman convicted Of burglary
and larceny at the last term Of the court
of general sessions for Darlington coun-
ty. There was nothing remarkable in the
fact that the petition was received, but
the document is unusual in that it was
drawn up voluntarily, by the jury which
convicted her, and is signed by every
member.
At her trial, the woman would not take
the stand, because another defendant,
who was acquitted, had been advised by
his attorney that the States case was not
sufficient to convict him and he could
only hurt his cause by testifying. The
Addison woman evidently thought the
advice good enough to follow herself.
When called upon to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon her, how
ever, she made statement which put en-
tirely different face upon the meager
facts in the case, and greatly strengthen
ed the strong probability of her inno-
cence. There was nothing the judge
could do at that stage but pass sentence,
and the jury, feeling, after hearing the
statement, that it's verdict had been made
in ignorance of the facts, promptly signed
petition asking that she be pardoned.
Governor Hayward will refer the peti-
ton in due course to the State board of
pardons at it's next session, which will be
held here Wednesday, Aug. 1.-The State,

was annoyed one morning to find the
train stopping in desolate place miles
away from any station.

KERSHAW WILL REMAIN DRY.
No Dispensary Can be Established bv County
Board.

Board
At a special session of the supreme
court yesterday morning the county board
of control of Kershaw county was enjoin-
ed from establishing dispensary at the
town of Kershaw. The decision is of
very great importance to the people OF
Lancaster who have fought against the
establishment of this dispensary for some
time and they will be gratifed to learn
that the legal objections raised by them
were sufficient to make permanent tem-
porary injunction ordered some time ago.
The reasons for the decision will be filed
later.
Kershaw is town on the county line
between Lancaster and Kershaw counties.
There was dispensary there on the Ian.
caster side of the town until the county
voted out the institution SO decisively.
Then the dispensary was closed and moth
ing further was heard of it until a few
months ago, when the State board /of dis.
pensary directors received from the
county board of control of Kershaw
county a petition sent in for the opening
of a dispensary at Kershaw on the ker-
shaw county side. The State board de-
cided to grant the petition and the county
board elected Grover Welsh dispenser.
The people of Lancaster and especially
in the town of Kershaw at once decided
to fight this move and temporary re-
straining order was obtained until the
facts could be represented to the supreme
court
