The correspondent Of the News and
Courier saw the Rev. C.. M. Young,
president of the HARRISON College,
this evening. and showed him the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Pitts
burg In today's paper. He later ask
ed that the following statement be
delivered to the News and Courier. It
would seem to dispose Of the unjust
attack upon this people:
Having just read an article in to-
days issue of you paper. under the
caption To Make a Plea for Harbi-
som write to say that HARRISON Col
lege is now In session, and that the
white people Of the community are
Offering me every necessary encour-
agement. In fact. they are urging
me to rebuild the girls dormitory, ac-
cidentally destroyed by fire the 18th
Of last January.
"As / understand 1t, there has been
no trouble in the college because Of
race prejudice during previous years
1t IL true there was trouble in the
school las,t year. The president was
really advised by white citizens to
give ZIP the presidency. which he did,
and later. when was chosen by the
board Of EMISSIONS for freemen, locat-
ed at Pittsburg, to take charge, I
found the white population very in
dignant, as they said, at the former
president, and under the existing cir
cumstances they advised me not to
open the school. acted on their ad-
vice, and consequently the school did
not run the whole session last year,
but it should be emphasized that the
same citizens. for the most part, who
advised me not to open last year are
the ones who advised me to open
when we did, and are still saying they
will support me in the work.
among these is the mayor OF the
town.
II do not know who wrote the arti-
Gle from Pittsburg, but I am sure 1t
was not written by a member of the
board who controls the college. an
ticipate no trouble in HARRISON. I do
not want anybody to be kinder to me
than are the white citizens of Abbe-
Vile. Respectfully,
(Signed) &C. M. Young.

M"It with his scnOol. Not word
has been spoken against him, or
against the work which he is doing,
and not hand will be lifted against
him and his work. He is a negro of
character and standing.
The white people Of this community
recognize the right Of the negro to
pursue learning, and so long as they
are lee alone by the negro fanatics the
negro Of this community will be al
lowed to go his way in peace. But if
the people Of the Northern Presbyte-
rian Church imagine chat the people
of this community will stand for
Amos and his ilk they are mistaken.
The blacks have their rights. but none
the less the white race, and in ac-
cording to the blacks che right to reg
ulate their affairs, we reserve the
right to say that they shall not in
terfere with the rights Of others.
The race problem will not be set
tied In Abbeville by those people who
desire the right to put the negro over
the white man. 1t must be settled by
the cooperation Of all good people
everywhere. by the good people of
the North who are content to regard
in some measure che opinions Of the
Southern man, who also has the in
terest OF the negro at heart
When this 10 realized 1t will be bet
ter for all concerned.

Lord Eldon's Apology.
(Tit- }


When John Scott Gord Eldon) was
at the bar. he was remarkable for the
sang froid with which he treated the
judges. On one occasion a junior
counsel, on hearing their lordships give
judgment against his client, exclaimed
that che was surprised at such a de-
cision.''
This was construed into contempt of
court and he was ordered to attend at
the court next morning. Fearful of
the consequences, he consulted his
friend John Scott, who told him to
be perfectly at ease. for he would apol-
ogize for him in way that would avert
any unpleasant result. Accordingly,
when the name of the delinquent was
called John rose and coolly addressed
the assembled tribunal, saying:
Il am very sorry, my lords, that my
young friend has so far forgotten him
self as to treat your honorable bench
with disrespect He is extremely pen
itent and you will kindly ascribe his
unintentional insult to ignorance. You
must see al once that it did originate
in that He said he was surprised at
the decision of your lordships. Now. il
he had not been very ignorant of what
takes place at this court every day
had he known you but half as long as
I have-he would not be surprised at
anything you did"

Butler is young man, barely Il
years of age, but manifested courage,
and by his brave act in rescuing the
three men, he has gained a state wide
reputation as a hero.
During one of the cold spells last
February, the water became frozen IN
the mains leading from the water tank.
and a bonfire was started in the hopes
of melting the ice, under the tank
The city had been without water for
several days, and the water question
had become serious. The men lost
control Of the fire. and within short
time the flames were climbing toward
the water tower. Three men Of the
city with buckets, climbed to the top
and endeayored to put the fire out from
overhead. IN this, however, they failed,
and on account Of. the cold weather
which was several degrees below zero,
the men became exhausted and falling
upon the icy platform of the water
tower they We're in grave danger OF

We're too weak to help themselves.
Young Butler. who had participated in
throwing water upon the fire from be-
meath, climbed to the top, and by
means Of ropes lowered the men safe
ly to the ground. The daily papers
copied in detail the report of the res
cue and suggested that the young man
be rewarded a medal. The letter from |
the secretary states that a full report !
of the rescue is sent him, together with |
affidavits from several of the eye-wit- |
nesses. who saw him perform the feat. |
If Mr. Butler secures one of those
he will be the first boy in
Iowa. to whom such an honor and dis
tinction has been given.

three buildings were entirely destroyed
and the stocks of goods contained in
them are lost. 1t is estimated that
the insurance on buildings and stocks
Will not be more than two-thirds Of
the loss.
The origin of the flames. aside from
the fact that it was an explosion in the
hardware store, is not known. 1t Is
believed by many that a. quantity of
dynamite that was kept in stock in
some manner was Jared, causing 1T
to explode. Another theory Is that
escaping gas ignited and set fire to
the building. setting off the dynamite.
The shook of the explosion was felt
over the city and hundreds of windows
were broken for blocks around the
scene of the fire.
The three buildings were burned to
the ground The loss on them Is esti-
mated at $4,000 and on their contents
$4,000
The buildings are:
The Boston Store building, owned by
w. H McNaily. $4,000.
Sheerer building, owned by r. W.
Christy. $4,000.

the Owan cafe also suffered lesser
losses
In the Boston store block, Drs. Van

Der shop, and the law firm of CumInins
& Daugherty. and ]. B. Newman, law
yer, were also burned out and their
loss Is total.
The town was almost sleeping at
1910 o'clock when the explosion oc-
Cured. There was no one in the vie
entity at the time, but with in a few
seconds after the explosion. people
rushing to the street saw two of the
buildings completely wrecked, their
walls already falling and the third
wrapped in flames.
The fire department responded
promptly to tie alarm but 1t was evil
dent that there was no possibility to
save the three buildings Or any thing
contained in them and the f1remen di-
rected their attention to preventing the
flames from spreading They were
successful in this altho the heat did
great damage to the other buildings
in the block and across the street.
