A Negro College.

A meeting of the Negro Baptist
State convention held in Aiken, S. c.,
on last week it was unanimously de-
cided by the convention that the col
lege to be built by the Baptists OF
South Carolina would he built in
the city of Sumter.
There were three propositions be-
fore the convention. Rev. Richard
Carroll proposed to give the conven-
ton 80 acres of land and $4,000 as
an inducement to go to Union, but af-
ter investigation we found this prop
erty was reverted property and We
thought it best not to accept the Rev.
Carrolrs property.
The proposition by Rev. NJ P.
Hall. president Of Friendship Insti-
tute, of Rock Hill. S. c., was not ac-
cepted, but DR.. Hall was truly ready
to go to Sumter
Miss sehoseld, principal of the
schoheld Industrial Institute, Aiken,
S. G., offers us 100 acres Of land just
four miles from the city of Aiken. a
committee was appointed to inspect
this laid as location. The commit
tee reported not favorable to Miss
sehofela's proposition.
Rev. D. ]. Jenkins proposed TO give
so acres Of land at Ladson, but the
committee thought that the health
facilities would not do.
The proposition offered by the Bap-
lists Of the Wateree Association Of II
acres of land in the western part OF
the city Of Sumter was received on
the ground that the white people and
coiorsd get along better thar any
city in the State The writer got up
petition few months ago and car
ried it to the white people Of Sumter
and all signed it. This was one Of the
greatest forts we had to fight behind.
There will be an educational mass
melting held in Sumter on the 22d of
May, at which time the trustees of the
Wateree Association will convey this
properly to the trustees Of the Bap-
tsst state Convention. We left Aiken
with the hope Of raising enough mon
ey to pay for the property.

DROWNED IN THE SURF.
Cadet Jackson. a Winnsboro Boy,
Loses His Life at the Isle Of Palms.

Charleston, May 9.-Cadet W. j.
Jackson. fourth classman South Car
olina Military Academy, was drowned
this afternoon at the annual picnic at
the Isle of Palms. With him We're
Cadets Sims Of Barnweli and Ruby Of
Habana About 40 cadets We're in
the water at the time. Jackson was
bathing at a good distance from the
shore, but apparently in safe posi-
ton. A heavy wave lifted the three
boys TO a greater depth, however, and
they lost their footing. Sims and
Ruby recovered their hold and tried
to save their college mate, narrowly
escaping drowning in the attempt.
Jackson finally disappeared from
view and moment afterwards one Of
the cadets seized him by the shoulder
under the water, but weakened by his
efforts. he was unable to pull Jackson
up and the cadets body was lost.
Mr. Wingate and others went to the
assistance of Cadets Sims and Ruby
and endeavored to save the cadet, but
the young man was out too far and
the rescuers were hindered in their
work by the depth Of water and the
necessity of constantly looking to
their own safety. A boat was gotten
and search made along the beach for
the body, but it was ineffectual.
Efforts to recover the body will be
continued.
Superintendent Coward detailed a
squad of six cadets to patrol the
beach for several hours and another
squad was assigned tonight to the
same duty. Every effort Will be made
to find the body. The drowning oc-
Cured just after dinner, about
o'clock. The accident is particular
N sad tragedy. Jackson was the only
son of a widow, Mrs. NJ. a. Jackson,
Of Winnsboro He was bright boy
and gave every promise Of attaining
success in life.

probably be fled Saturday. Antici-
pating the claim there has been more

1t cannot be stated just what the at

regard TO the matter, but, as has been
stated before, more than one member
OF the commission is inclined to the
opinion that this is a valid claim.
The Clark purchase has not been
paid for yet and the Peoria concern,
may have to wait a long time before
it gets the money claimed. While
Dudley, who made the sale Of the
100000 shipment to the board of di-

board his testimony shows that some

If anyone has seen an earth

trouble to return it, but they
would confer a favor on the
Coast and Geodetic Survey byre-
porting where it is. The Coast
Survey last week found the rec
ord of a bad earthquake on it's
selsmograph at Cheltenham, Nd,
a little station that the Survey
keeps out in the wilds for OBJ
serving earthquake shocks and
other phenomena. 1t was a pref
ty bad earthquake, worse than
the one at Kingston, Jamaica,
and not quite so bad as that at
San Francisco. 1t was travelling
from north to south and it lasted
about a quarter of an hour. That
was all the instrument could tell.
There was Immediately a hurry
up call sent out to all the big OBJ
serVatories of the world where
there aye seismographs, and the
newspapers of the country, on
being notified, tried their best
through innumerable correspon-
dents to find any town or country
that had been shaken up. But
up to date, the search has been
unavailing. The earthquake NAV
have been at the North Pole or
in Central Africa or some other
point not reached by the teIe-
graph. That there was a quake
is certain. But it cannot be To-
Gated, and the scientists are in a
painful state of uncertainty.
Anyone who has seen an owner
less earthquake will please oblipe

jingo press in Japan as we have
in this country. Dispatches from
Japan state that this press is go
ing over all of the old discussion
as to race hatred, unfair treat
ment of Japanese in this coun-
try, and that sort of thing. They
are finding fresh causes of of
fense that this country never
dreamed of giving, and the whole
outlook in Japan is for a wave of
anti-American feeling that is
likely to again break up diplo-
matte relations that were just
settling in fair shape. Dispatches
from the north Pacific coast in
dlcate that the Japanese masses
will soon have another cause of
complaint with more substance
to it than anything they have had
lately. An American revenue
cutter in the Pribyloff islands has
just captured another batch of
twentyfour seal poachers, and
they are being sent to Sitka for
trial. Of course, if they had not
been poaching, they would not
have been captured. But the
Japanese public is not likely to
take that into consideration, and
the outlook for satisfactory set
tlement of the differences be-
tween this country and Japan is
rather further off than ever.
