ture has wisely made provisions
for a more complete education by
the introduction of county high
schools, but these high schools
cannot be established without the
consent Of the voter of the county
in which said schools is to be
established. The counties in the
Territory which have established
county high schools are securing
a higher standard Of education
for their children, and are reap
ing the benefits to be derived
therefrom. Caddo county cannot
expect to meet all the demands Of
education and be on an equality
with her neighboring counties
without a county high school.
The time has come when some
effort along the line Of securing a
county high school for the coun-
ty should be taken. With popu-
lation Of over 10000 there is no
excuse to delay the matter any
longer. The advantages are too
numerous to need any argument
in favor of this proposition. To
those in the country who desire
to send their children away to
school it lessons the expense,
keeps the children near home,
and Greats friendly rivalry
among children of the different
parts of the county that is at
tanned in no other way. With
less expense and time it prepares
students for the higher branches
of education. 1t relieves the
country districts of scholars, and
thereby gives teachers of district
schools more time to devote to
the primary grades. In fact the
advantages of county high
school cannot be over estimated.
The expense of establishing and
maintaining high school is 80
small to the individual taxpayer
and the return 30 great to the
children and the country that
no one should hesitate to throw
their influence in favor of this
system of education.
The county high school at An
adarko would provide mears for
a thorough education for every
pupil in the county to secure a
thorough training in the branches
not taught in the district schools,
and would be monument to the
intelligence and enterprise of the
people. 1t would show to the
homemaker that Caddo county
is up to date in educational lines
In order to secure a county
high school it Is necessary to
petition the county commissioners
TO call an election for that purpose
Upon presentation of a petition |
signed by one third of the mum.
ber of votes cast at the last elec-
ton, the commissioner shall or.
der an election upon the PROPOSE
tion, and if the majority of the
proposition a county high school
can be established.
We should be pleased to have
the matter taken up and submit.
ed tc vote of the people. We
hope the citizen of this county
and of The county seat who are
interested in the education of our
youth, will take the matter in
hands and secure county high |
school for Caddo county.-Car-

Apparently the weeyil does not prom

On lasa Saturday w. J. Harley. who

acted In s%elf.defenoe. The killing oc.
CURED at H~arleSville. o little town on
the Atlantic Ooaat Line Railway be.
tween P%regnall's and Holly Hill. Cor.
oner Kizer, Of Dorchester County,
held an inquest and investigated the
killing.
From the testimony adduced at the
Inquest IL seems that Harley went to
Parler's Office and asked for him. He
was informed that Parler was not
there. He then went to Parler's house
land attempted to gain an entrance.
Mr.. Parler warned him several timeB
not to some In, but he paid no atten.
tion to the warning and proceeded TO
enter the house. Then 1t was that he
was shot by Mr.. PArler, the 0 tire
load Of 'buOkshot entering near the
heart and producing instant death.
When Mr.. Parler shot Harley had
in his hand q. breach. loading gun and
he also had on his person q consider.
able number Of cartridges. 1t ia con-
idently believed hero that 1t was his
purpose to attempt to kill Mr.. Parler.
IL seems that Harley for some un.
known reason did not like Parl0r, and
on several occasions no had caused
him considerable annoyance. Mr.. Par
Ter has always been q law abiding CIT
izen and he RETAINED frem taking any
action until forced TO do 90. When
the fatal shot was fred he was acting
In defence Of his home and family.
and 1t Is the opinion OF those who are
familiar with the facts that he was
ensirely justlhable.
Harley has always been regarded as
q desperate sort of man and has been
In trouble more than once. Several
months ago, while the Court of Gan
eral Sessions was In prcgress ct ST.
Georges he committed an assault upon
q young man named Weeks, on tho
Court House Rquare. He was arpre.
hended by Sheriff Limehouso, but
made his escape the next day. He
was triad and convicted In his absen.
oe on the following day, and ut the
time Of his death q sealed sentence
awaited him In the clerk of Courts
Office at ST. Georges. He YayIaid his
brother-in law, Mr.. Knight, several
years ago, and wounded him 30 severe
ly In his leg,. that 1t had TO be ampu-
tated. ...
Sheriff Limehouge made several at
tempts to, capture Harley. but was
never, sucoessful. 1t is believed that
Harley's friends kept him advised as
to the whereabouts OF the sheriff ard
he managed to e]ude capture. Several
months ago Sheriff Limehouse eff cred
q reward Of $3.50 for bis capture, but
the offer was Intellectual to accom-.
plish the result sought after. Mr.. Par.
ler came to Orangeburg on Monday
and went before Judge Dantzler, who
granted him bail In the sum Of two
Thousand dollars.
