PROFESSOR FIFTY YEARS

DR.: Basil L. Gildersleeve, professor of Greek
at Johns Hopkins, the great university at Balti-
more which takes as freshmen the graduates of
other universities, has the unique distinction of
having been professor for so years. He is pre-
pairing to celebrate his jubilee. He was appointed
professor of Johns Hopkins several years after
the age allotted to man by Dr. Osler, for he had
already served 20 years in the University of Vir-
gnia, but there was no chloroforming process for
him. He felt that he had wasted some of his
youthful years and he was seeking to recover lost
time, so he was an indefatigable worker
The first IA years of his life were spent in
Charleston, s. G. In the summer of 1850. after a
college course, he took a trip to Germany on

DIsPENSARY VOTE.
People Anxious to Get Rid of the In
acknowledgement Com
pIyinQ with the Law.

Barnwell, May 17.-The people of
this vicinity are displaying great in
terest in the dispensary question.
Never has any political question since
the 'Red shirt campaign" stirred the
citizens so.
The dispensary here is. in the hands
of capable management and 80 far
as it is known, the officials have COM
piled with every law regulating the
sale of intoxicants, but there are hun
dreds of people throughout the county
who are opposed to the sale of whis-
key in any form and under any regu-
lations, and for some time it has been
agitated even to the remotest section
of the county, that Barnwell county
would be decidedly more prosperous
if it were voted dry. Such sentiment
has created two political factions and
the fight will be bitter one.
Those who want to vote the dispen-
sary out are circulating. petitions call
ing for an election and it is highly
probable that the Governor will take
some definite action in reference to
the matter at once.

Ieses Life in Saving Com panion,

Dallas, Ca, May l7.-1n the pres
ence of his mother, and just as, after
heroic effort, he pitched his little
nephew, Mack LUCAS, to safety, Hugh
Starr, the 17-year-old son Of J. G.
Starr, of this city, was crushed to
death by the Southern vestibule train
from Atlanta, on a trestle here this
morning at 7:35 o'clock.
Young Starr and his mother were
walking along the track accompanied
by their little nephew. They had
just crossed the trestle when thew
heard the approaching train. Starr
looked back and saw that the little
boy had dropped behind and was
some distance out on the structure.
Rushing back, he seized the little fel-
low in his arms and made a desperate
effort to carry him off. When the
train was upon him, young Starr
pitched the little boy to safety and at
that moment was crushed TO death.
His body was mangled beyond recog-
milton. The little Lucas boy had his
arm broken by the fall, bat his in
juries are not thought to be serious.

Lever At Little Mountain.

Little Mountain, May 20.-The exer-
cises of the Little Mountain graded
school, under the management of
Prof. J. w. Ballentine and Miss Julia
Paisley, were held in the school build
ing Friday evening, May II.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. J. c. Wessinger. Prof:
S. J. Derrick of Newberry introduced
Hon. O. B. Martin, State superintend-
ent of education. Mr.. Martin made a
very eloquent and convincing speech
on the subject of establishing State
high schools. We feel that his appeal
has done a great deal towards estab-
fishing State high school at this place
A recess was then taken from nm
til O'Clock, when the exercises prop
er commenced.
The exercises consisted of dialogues
and declamations by the smaller chill
dren and speech by Horace Shealy
and essays by Misses Evangeline and
Bertha Shealy of the graduating class.
Congressman A. F. Lever was pres
ent by invitation from the school and
delivered very eloquent and touch
ing address on the subject of educa-
ton and citizenship. The audience
was deeply affected by the able and
logical presentation of these subjects.
'sFrank's" home people idolize him
and a great many came miles to hear
him speak and to get an old time
shake of his hand.
His friends are very much elated
over the fact that he is being urged
by strong men all over the State to
make the race for the United States
senate next year and we feel that with
his experience ard ability and honesty
of purpose that if he can be induced
to make the race for the senate that
the man who defeats him will be sena-
tor.
The audience cheered and applaud
ed for several minutes at the conclu-
sion of his speech.-The State, 21st.

Death Of Mrs. D. =. Knots.

Mrs. Lena Knots, the beloved wife
of Col. D. J. Knotts of Swansea, died
at the Columbia Hospital last Thurs
day in her 48th year, and her body
was inferred in the Swansea cemetery
on Friday.
Mrs. Knots had been in DECLINING
health for several months and had
gone to the hospital with the cher
ished hope that she would soon re-
cover. All that skilled physicians,
and the loving, tender and faithful
trained nurses, of which the Colum-
bia Hospital is famous, was of no
avail, and she gently passed into the
s'Great Beyond"
We can truly sympathize with Col.
Knotts in the loss of his dear wife.
None but those who have sat in the
shadow of a great bereavement can
Justly weigh such sorrow as this.
Those who have gone down into the
valley of suffering and stood for
weeks by the side of loved one, as
hope after hope dropped away as the
petals fall from fading flower, know
that such anguish cannot find solace
in the tenderest words. She who has
gone forth could not be supported on
her solitary path by any earthly
friend. The husband with a devotion
few men are capable of, whose
strength was given sweetly, tenderly
to this precious invalid, whose heroic
devotion never faltered, could not de.
tain her by the clasp Of earthly love;
but after the last word had been spo-
ken, the last sign of recognition was
gone, a look of peace settled on her
face which proclaimed victory, and
he knew she was resting on a mighty
arm

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
There was lively but good natured
meeting at Bakersville school house
today to discuss railroads and new
county with St. Matthews as the
county seat. There were a number
Of visitors. The farmers were not
prepared to sign away rights of way
through their lands without fuller in
formation, but all expressed them
selves as in dire need of railroad
and, it is believed, that everything
will be adjusted amicably.
After the railroad meeting the new
county movement was taken up.

pleasantest feeling prevailed all

ative. Everybody was given marked
attention and no one, on either side,
was discouraged in his desire to give
his side. After full discussion the
chair announced that those residing
within the territory proposed to be
cut would be asked by ballot to vote
on the following resolution:
"Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this meeting that we cast our lot with
the proposed county Of Calhoun and
that a committee of six be appointed

Missing Cashier Returns
oranreburg.

John w. Fairey, cashier of the Ed
isto Savings Bank, who, it will be re-
nembered so mysteriously disappear
ed last September, returned a few
days ago. Fairey says that he has
travelled much since last September
and he came direct to Orangeburg
from Ell Paso, Texas, where he held
an important position.
The cause of his sudden disappear
ance, he says, was due to the fact
that his balance sheet became en-
tangled and the longer he worked on
it the farther off he got. The fact is,
that the wrong entry of a big draft
was the trouble. He will probably
resume work in the bank.

LEXINGTON BOARD
ACTED ILLEGALLY.
Beer Can Not be Delivered Through
Clerk Here.

Attorney General Lyon has decided
that the action of the Lexington
county dispensary board in appoint
ing a clerk in Richland to receive
orders for beer from Lexington is
Illegal and does not come within the
provisions of the Carey -Cothran act.
The request for an opinion came
from Gov. Ansel in letter enclosing
4 statement from Dispensary Auditor
West, who has investigated the mat
ter and thought some legal action
should be taken if the Lexington board
had exceeded its authority.
The fight for the control OF the beer
trade in Richland county is familiar
to the people here. After Letton and
Watts, beer bottlers, had presented a
petition to the governor for the re-
moyal of the Richland county board
because of their appointments OF
Charles Marcy as bother and the pc
tition. was refused, Marcy withdrew
from the business and the Richland
board made their purchases direct
from the factories.
This was met by the purchase of
beer by the Lexington county board
and the appointment OF Alderman ..
j. Lynch, abusiness partner OF Letton,
to the position Of clerk to the Lexing-
ton board with orders to deliver beer
in, this county when requests had been
properly filed out.
It was on this point that an mvestl-
CATION was made and as will be noted
by the letter the attorney general will
notify both the Richland clerk and
the Lexington board of his opinion.
Mr.. Lyon was delayed in rendering an
opinion by rush of other matters,
but he has looked up all laws relating
to the case.
Mr. Lyons letter to Gov. Ansel is
as follows:
seYour letter of the 18th inst, with
which you transmit the report of Au-
ditor West, in regard to the methods
adopted by the Lexington county dis
pensary authorities in selling beer in
Richland county, is at hand. Mr.. G..
J. Lynch, through his attorneys, has
also submitted statement of facts IN
regard to the methods OF making the
sales of beer in question.
stAfter a careful consideration OF
the facts stated in these communlca-
tions, have reached the conclusion
that the sales of beer as heretofore
made by the Lexington authorities,
through Mr.. Lynch as clerk and Mr..
Letton as licensed bother, to persons
living in Richland county, in the man
ner described in either the communi-
cation of Mr.. West or the statement
of Mr.. Lynch, is contrary to both the
spirit and the letter of the law.
ssIn accordance with your instruc-
tions, will notify the Lexington
county board and Mr.. G. J. Lynch
and J. B. Letton of my opinion in
