CHILDREN'S CRUSADE.
Ore of the Most Remarkable Events IN
the Worlds History.

the Worlds History.
There is one episode Of the his
tory of the crusades that few people
are familiar with, an episode SO
unique, so strange, so pathetic, SO
tragic withal, that it stands out as
a conspicuous illustration OF the fe-
yer of enthusiasm then peryading
Europe. 1t is called the ''children's
crusade" and as one of the most
remarkable events in history it is
well worth telling you about.
1t was in the summer OF 12l2.
Two boy prophets, 50 called, each
about twelve years of age, were
preaching crusade, not OF arms,
but of prayer, against the Saracens.
One of them was Stephen of Clogs,
in France; the other, Nicholas OF
Cologne, in Germany. They claim
ed to be inspired by heaven to raise
each an army of children to go to
the Holy Land and convert the IN
fidels to Christianity. The sea, they
said, would open, as it once did for
the Israelites, and permit them TO
pass over to Palestine with dry feet.
Their preaching caused almost
frenzy Of excitement among the
children, and soon two armies OF
them started for the Holy Land,
one from Cologne, the other from
Vendome. France. The German ar
nv numbered about 10000 and the
French about $4,000.
During the passage over the Alps
nearly $4,000 of the German chill
dren succumbed to cold and expo
sure, and 10000 of the French chill
dren died between Vendome and
Marseilles.
/ The German army had marched
in two divisions, the first under the
famous Nicholas and the second IN
der boy whose name has not been
preserved. When Nicholas arrived
at Genoa and found that the sea did
not open to permit their passage he
disbanded his army. Many of the
children were sent back home by
the kind hearted Genoese, but 9th
ers pressed on to Pisa and took
passage by ship for Palestine.
Meanwhile the army under thu
unknown boy had reached Brindlsl
: whence they departed for the HOLY
Land, and about 5000 Of th'
French children were shipped from
Marseilles for the same destination
But alas for the fatuous preach
ing of the boy prophets and tn
equally fatuous credulity OF thel
followers! All the children tina
survived the voyage were sold a

A Fashion From War.

When the next man takes unto
himself watch as thin as parch.
ment he little thinks that that
thin watch results from army reg
ulation.
Up to the time Of the Allies ia
king Paris the ordinary watch
was convex in shape and called
from it's outline a ''turnid." The
officers of the Russian and other
armies objected to this because
of a man on parade looking un-
tidy, whether it was carried in
the coat or the fob. Here in
Paris, how ever they found that
the watchmakers of the Palais
Royal had contrived a chrono-
meter which got over the diff
Guilty.
Flat watches were the fashion
in Paris. The English when
they appeared in the streets of
the French capital marched in,
not in gala dress such as the
others wore, but in the ralment
which they had worn on cam
paien. Great was the impression
which their habiliments created.
But they at once adopted the
smart flat watch and brought 1t
back to England for our own
manufacturers to copy.-London

do not know whether to run his

traits of an American to do
something, and the more exalted
the parsonage, the more glory
there is in the doing and
who is done, and when
we read over his long letter and
found nothing to indicate his
usual thrift, we reached the
conclusion that he has not sus-
pended business at all, but mod
esty forbade him from exulting
over his royal victims, at least
until he had again gotten upon
the high seas, beyond the juris-
diction and wrath OF monarchy.

Vision Of Savages.

Many people believe, because
they have read in books: that the
sight of the Indians was extra.
ordinarily keen, and that they
were able to descry objects at a
greater distance than was posi-
BILE for white men, says a writer
in Popular Science Monthly.
This is an error, if the assertion
is to be taken without qualifca-
ton. All savages have eyes
trained to see those things that
are necessary to their preserva.
tion-game and enemies. Their
sight is not by nature more acute
than that of the white man, but
iu some respects it was better
trained. The whites who live
among the Indians and were com
PEELED to defend themselves a.
eainst their enemies. It may be
affirmed as a general principle
that there is nothing civilized
man cannot do better than saw
age. The latter uses his reason
to aid his instinct; the former
makes his instinct subservlent to
his reason. tits well known that
sailors are able to discern objects
at sea a greater distance than
landsmen, but we have to here
with a faculty that any one can
acquire. The Indians did just
what the whites who lived among
them did who subsisted on game
and were obliged to be on the
constant lookout for enemies.
Both had acquired not merely
the power to discern objects. but
also trainingin the Interpretation
Of the signifcation OF those object
that came within visible range.
It is probable, for reasons given
above, that not only the Indians
as we'll as all tribes living on the
same social level, but also the
backwoodsmen, retained their
sight to more advapced age
than is now generally the case:
but that the eye of the former
was naturally more powerful
than that Of the present genera
ton or that of men in general is
unsupported by trustworthy evil
dence, There is no doubt that a
child born with normal eyes in
one of our largest cities can see
objects just as far off and define
them justas accurately with prop
er training as a person who never
saw dozen together. It is we'll
known. too, that what are some
times called the lower senses
touch, taste and smell-are often
Of extraordinary acuteness in civ
ilized men as the result Of train
ing. If, therefore, any of the
senses Of our urban population
is feebler than that of the dwell
er in the rural district, it is not
due to an inherent weakness, but
to improper or injudicious use.

A NEW RAILROAD.

\ proposition from II o II.
Walter Hazard Of Georgetown
has been made to build rail
road from Georgetown through
Williamsburg to touch either
Kingstree or Cades on the A.
G.. l.. thence to Motifs Bridge on
Lynches River to Timmonsville,
Hartsville, tapping the Seaboard
Air Line between Cheraw and
Camden, making a road Of about
100 miles. The idea IS a good
one and we have no doubt.lt will,
as it should, appeal to railroad
promoters. The suggested road
would open up a great section OF
farming and timber lands now ly-
inc undeyeloped, and if such a
road could be built itwould easily
be made to unbottle this section.
Il would take but a small amount
Of money to connect the Alcolu
railroad with a road crossing
Lynches River at Motifs Bridge:
as the Alcolu road is now within
a few miles from that point, then
bring on the Alcolu road to ira.
verse this section on through the
Pamela and st. Paul section to
the Santee River, the develop
ment Of t he county would be mar
velous. We heartily agree with
Mr.. Hazards suggestion. The
country needs more transpor-
tation facilities and more COM
petition. The past few years
there has been much complaint
about hardness in the handling
Of freight all over the country,
and we think J. ]. Hill the great
railrord magnate struck the truth
when he said 1.-THE railroads OF
today cannot do any better, they
cannot prevent congestion OF
frelghts, because the country has
outgrown the roads, and what is
needed,i is more!roads tomove the
traffic. "The1O0 miles Of road from
Georgetown to connect with a
competing line would greatly
help the country, and if the
present roads are making money
there is every reason to believe
the suggested road would be a
mint. It is to be hoped Mr.. Ha-
Yards suggestion will make cap
iiS5alists sit up and take notice: but
if they will not, we hope the
movement will be started in
Georgetown any way, for the
greater development of South
Cardinals greatest inland sea-
port.

ANARCHY PREVAILED.

The acquittal Of Haywood, the
labor leader at Boise, Idaho, Is
nothing less than we expected,
not that there was lacking the
evidence of guilt, but the senti-
ment created by a tremendous
organization made it an impos-
sibility to secure a conviction.
The law is powerless where pub
lie sentiment asserts itself
against it. In the State Of North
Carolina recently there was a
demonstration of public senti-
ment overriding law, by the ac-
quittal of the men tried for lynch
ing, and turned loose in the face
of positive evidence of the sheriff
and his daughter identifying the
parties charged. In case just
concluded in Idaho the power Of
labor unions was manifest. all
over the country union men were
in sympathy with Haywood,
Meyer, and Pettibone, the men
accused Of being connected with
the assassination Of Governor
Steunenberg, they championed
their cause, not from the evi-
dence they read during the long
trial, but before the trial began
they were making all manner of
demonstrations to attest their
innocence. The power of this
organization is so great that
public officers are inundated
into fear to perform their duty.
One Of the attorneys for the de-
Tense in his speech openly de6ed
constituted legal authority. He
scoffed at law and vehemently
sounded the doctrine of anarchy.
This mans home is in Chicago
where the followers of the red
flag are concentrated, and it was
to this element he was preach
ing all through his argument.
In our judgment. the speech of
Richal dson, of Chicago, will
encourage murder and arson,
and that he and those believing
like him are a curse to this land.
We are not opposed to organi-
zed labor as such, and as long as
labor organized retains respect
for law and order, but when any
organization enters into a con-
splracy to assassinate and de
stroy property. then they are

Everybody Hasn't Blanket, Quilt or Skirt
to Spare for Ice Keeping Purposes-Peo-
pie Will Differ.
Editor The Manning Times

Editor The Manning Times
At this time when the sub
iect of Sabbath Observance is
being discussed, especially in
regard to Sunday delivery, some
facts from my personal exper-
;ence may not be amlss.
In the seventeen years, near
ly, as housekeeper, I have
never found it necessary to have
ice and beef delivered on Sun
day, and I do not use refriger-
ator either. Perhaps it may be
helpful to other housekeepers,
who truly desire to Remember
the Sabbath Day to keep it
holy" and yet are puzzled about
this matter to know how [ man
age. I order Saturday night 5
or 10 pounds of ice and the
quantity of meat shall need. l
first wrap the ice tightly in two
layers of old newspaper or
wrapping paper, and thea Place Place
the meat, wrapped just as it
comes from the market on the
ice. and roll the whole thing in
a number of papers, and then in
a piece of clean old blanket, quilt
or flannel skirt, place in a cool
place, being careful to have the
meat on top of the ice so that
that the water viii not lnjure it.
keep dressed chickens in the
same way, and have never lost
either, and even when l get only
five pounds of ice there is plenty
for ice tea for dinner.
Now as to miIk-I do not
think the delivery of milk comes
under the same head. A COW
does not accommodatingly yield
a double supply Saturday night,
so that those who make a busl-
ness Of selling milk could not
supply a sufficient quantity to
last customers from Saturday
nigh5 till Monday morning. 1t
is an absolute work Of mercy
and necessity that milking be
done on Sunday. Even with a
refrigerator. it is hard to keep
milk sweet and pure for any
length of time. Nothing absorbs
impurities more rapidly, and IN
an open pan, in refrigerator
with other things, it is soon un-
fit for use. Infants, little chill
dren and sick people must have
fresh milk.
::rhe Sabbath was made for
man, not man for the Sabbath"
and it seems to me. that those
who object to the delivery of
milk on Sunday 'are straining
al gnats" and likely swallow
camels.
From my own experience l
affirm that it is not necessary to
wait till Sunday morning to get
ice and beef, except in case OF
illness. when any market man
will willingly and gladly furnish
what is needful.
Very Respectfully,
JOSIE SPROTT.

we believe, but When that is the
case let the redress OF remedy
be sought in a civilized and legal
manner, and not by hurting

have been the methods Of these
