One Of the greatest handicaps
in the past in retaining teachers
has been the lack of boarding
places. If any of the patrons
can either room or board any of
the teachers, if they would give
their names to the secretary or
any member of the board, then
the places could be referred to
the teacher upon their arrival
and would no doubt be greatly
appreciated by them.
It's believed that an excellent
corps of instructors has been en-
gagged for the coming year. The

The board desires at all times
any suggestions and assistance

School j Meeting

At the July meeting Of the
Board of Education it was decid-
ed to publish a summary Of the
proceedings from time to time.
The board feeling that it was
something due the public and
wishing the citizens to familiarize
themselves with school matters,
and thereby be able to take a
more intelligent interest in school
affairs.
Itonly being about three weeks
until the opening Of the school
year, attention is called to the
ruling of the Board year ago
regarding the age for entrance
of primary scholars, at which
time it was decided to allow no
children under six years of age
to enter. There are a few child
ren under six who can do the
work, but the majority cannot,
and considerable friction arises
if any exception is made, and it
was decided to make the min
imium age six years. And a
great many school authorities
think it is better for the child to
wait year or two after that
At the first meeting Of the new
board, r. A. Lathrop was elected
President, and John D. Foley
Secretary, for the coming year.
The oath of Office of f. w. Ehred
and S. d. Scott as members for
a term of three years, was found

The matter of 4th grade and

and as drawing teacher, she
being a graduate of the Thomas

course.
Warrants we're ordered issued
to the treasurer for $25. and sec

looking up the school laws careful
lythat members of the board in
special districts were entitled to
no compensation, hence no war
rants were issued, so if members
appear on the street wearing last

for will be understood.

rested early, and although he an
swers the description given by the
girl of her assailant, he has virtually
proven that he was nowhere near the
scene OF the crime at the time it was
committed.
Mullen and Miss Weiss had paused
to rest on log in what Is known as
'Deadman's Hollow" a swampy piece
of land near the Aqueduct bridge.
A burly negro rushed from the
bushes in the rear and dealt Mullen
a blow over the head with a club.
The man fell backward. Without
a word he drew a 80 caliber revolver
and fired several shots at the pros
trate man.
One bullet struck him in the mouth
cutting his tongue in half and knock
ing out several teeth, while another
struck him in the small OF the back
and is believed to have lodged in the
abdomen. 1t is this wound that the
physicians fear will result fatally.
The negro then sprang upon the
helpless girl and dragged her into the
thickest of the woods, where he kept
her prisoner for nearly an hour. At
the expiration of this time he inform
ed her that he was going back to
where he had left her fiance and kill
him. He told her that he would bury
the man, and that she might visit his
grave, near the scene of the attack
and weep over his remains.
The negro then disappeared and
the girl staggered from the woods
and made her way to her home.
Mullen in meantime had recovered
sufficiently to drag himself to the
railway station, some distance away,
from whence he was assisted to the
hospital by policeman.

MADE RESTITUTION.
Some Stolen Property Returned
After Ten Years.
Not Very Common Thing But Some
times Conscience Stricken People
DO Send Money to the Officials.

DO Send Money to the Officials.
Supt. d. w. Newell OF the Rock
Hill division of the Southern railway
received a letter the other day with
a special delivery stamp on it which
told him that a man had stolen some
of his property ten years ago, and
that he wanted to make restitution
1t seems that the writer had been
converted to Christianity lately and
offense which he committed over ten
years ago. Capt. Newell had forgot
ten all about the loss of his property
and the letter was great surprise to
him.
A prominent railroad official OF CO.
lumbia was asked recently IL 1t were
not unusual for a person to return
stolen property as was done in the
case of Capt Newell
WELL" he replied, " we run up
against some peculiar things in the
course of year which the public
never hears of. 1t is not often that u
case like the one referred to gets into
the public prints. These men whose
conscience prick them because of
some known wrong which they have
done usually add a request at the
foot of their letters that their name
be not divulged.
81 have known of number of
cases where some party had defraud-
ed the railroad company or had stol-
en- something from them and return
ed 1t in after years after undergoing
a change of heart. but Supt. Newell's
case is the first that has come under
my observation where anything stol-
en- from an official of the company
has been returned.
Not so very long ago a case came
under my observation where a man
who had beat a ride on one of our
trains returned the price of the fare
to the conductor some months later
by mail. adding that he had been con-
verted and wished to be forgiven for
his act. Another case was where a
certain man in this State had for
months been taking his children with
him on the train without paying for
them, assuring the conductor that
they we're under age. The amount
he returned was no small sum. He
stated in his letter to the conductor
that he had been converted and de-
sired to make restitution for this
wrong and asked to be forgiven. AS
said, the amount this man returned
was no small sum and he must have
had genuine conversion
