The Mystery of Rev. w. A. Kelley.
charleston News and Courier)

(Charleston News and Courier.)
Hundreds Of persons who knew
Rev. VIM. Aiken Kelley, at one time
one Of the most forceful and earnest
young ministers of the Methodist
Church in South Carolina, will be
frankly gratifled to learn positively
that which only death could reveal
namely, that the strange and unac-
|countable acts which from time to
time marred what would otherwise
have been brilliant and helpful ca
reer, were not the outgrowth of any
moral turpitude on his part, but were
caused by an abnormal condition Of
the brain, which rendered him men,
tally irresponsible for his actions.
Mr.. Kelley's strangely checkered
life came to a close in Knoxville,
Tenn. on June 23 Of this year. His
body was brought to this city for in
terment, but before his remains were
laid to rest an autopsy was held.

OFF FOR WASHINGTON.
Clemson Committee Gone to Make
Peace with War Department.
(Anderson Daily Mail.)


The committee from the Clemson
College trustees, which was appoint
ed to consult with the War Depart
ment with regard to the selection of
commandant for the college, left
Monday for Washington. The COM
mittee consists Of Alan Johnstone, of
Newberry; G. Duncan Bellinger, of
Columbia; w. d. Evans, of Marl-
boro, and DR.. P. H. Nell, president of
the college. 1t is understood that
the committee will lay the whole
matter before the War Department,
and while none of the trustees has
had anything to say for publication
in regard to the retirement of Capt.
Clay, 1T is known that they feel con-
fident that the War Department will
not be justified in refusing to con-
tinue the military feature at Clemson.
The committee will probably be in a
position to make a report at the
meeting of the trustees, which will
be held in August, and much that is
not yet brought to light will proba-
bly, be developed at that time.

That Boy of Yours. ;.
/. Encourage him to 90 to school.
The temptation is to get into busi-
ness. He sees other boys employed
and drawing salaries, and he, too,
wishes to have his own money, and
he begins to tire of the school room
drudgery, knowing nothing of the
drudgery of an employee. y
2. Warn him of the mistake he fs
about to make, Of going out into the
world poorly prepared for his work.
After 1T is too late he may see his
mistake, and then the parents will
from opportunity lost and that can
not be recalled. 1t may be necessary
for the parent to exercise good deal
of firmness at this critical period Cf
his boys history.
3. Encourage the boy to take a col
lege course If 1t is in the range of
possibilities. A college course is in
the reach of almost every boy who
wills it SO. Too many absolutely
poverty-stricken boys have pushed
their way through college for any of
us to say that a college course is not
In reach of the poor boys.
A. Encourage them to take as thor
ough a course as possible In the lite
rary and classical institutions before
going to the strictly technical insti-
tuition. Th training he receives in
the literary course will be OF incalcu-
liable benefit to him when he comes
to pursue his technical course. Hvery
department Of the Industrial pursuits
needs well prepared, well rounded,
we'll trained, intelligent men. His
knowledge of history, economics, Eng
lish and philosophy will greatly aid
him in his future work. whatever may
be his occupation or calling.

TO THE MEMORY
OF Rev. j. Nj. Sanders, Who Died
July Sd, 1907.

oaly Ou, IBo1.
our buried husband and father, can
We forget.
No; he fingers in our memory yet,
And In our hearts will live forever.
He loved us with love sincere,
And never did his love deceive us.
For often in our affiictions here
He did his utmost to relieve us.
But he's gone, and why should we
mourn 1E'.A
Like some forsaken dove forlorn?
He Is only numbered with the dead
And sleeping in his narrow bed.
For with heavenly weapons he fought
The battles of the Lord;
Ftnished his course, and kept the
3 faith,
IS And waits the 81 ce reward.
He'll rest in realms of light and love,
He'll dwell upon the mount of
~ glory;
He'll rest in realms of bliss above,
n And shout to tell the happy story.
We saw him bid the world adieu,
And saw him near the rolling bill
low;
His far-off home appeared to view
While yet he pressed dying pill
low
We looked upon his palid face
While the cold sweat rolled off his
brow;
He seemed to say, Darling wife and
children, too,
/ hid oil
III, how we long with him to sing
And range the fields of blooming
flowers
lone, holy angels, come, and bring
A mourner to your blissful bowers.
Why should we lament and mourn
At what our blessed Lcra has done :?
1T is but right that he should go
And leave us In this world of woe.
Lord, help us put our trust in Thee
Contented with our lot we'll be;
Though gloomy doubts are in our way
Well try to put our trust in God.
You had to go and leave us here,
But oh, the pain, it gives our
hearts:
But sleep on in your narrow bed,
for soon we ii meet no more to
part.
That lovely head lies near the church,
Those brown eyes no more we'll see
While we remain on earth,
But contented we will try to be.
There's nothing left to look upon,
Except this little mound OF clay,
And there the grass will grow around
And cover till the Judgment Day.
And thcn our Blessed Lord viii say,
My children all to me must come;
Then leave that narrow bed of clay
For you He has heavenly home
oh, give us grace, dear Lord, we pray,
TO bear our troubles as they come
Oh, be our Guide and our Stay
Until our work on earth is done.

CASE OF MRS. BRADLEY.
Trial May Not Occur Until Fall Term
Of Court.

The case of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley,
charged with first-degree murder in con-
nection with the shooting Of former Sena-
tor Arthur NJ. Brown OF Utah at the RAJ
leigh Hotel In December last and his SUBJ
sequent death. will probably not be tried
before the fall term Of the Criminal Court
Attorneys Wells, Hoover & Wells. local
counsel for the accused. will tomorrow
morning ask Justice Stafford to allow the
case to go over until fall. 1t is thought tho
prosecution will not strenuously object.
When United States Attorney Baker called
the case to the attention of Justice Stat
ford this morning Attorney Hoover OF coun-
sci asked that nothing be done today. say
ing that by tomorrow morning he will have
prepared an AFFIDAVIT setting forth as a rea-
son for the postponement of the trial the
Illness of Judge Orlando w. Powers of Salt
Lake City. According to Mr.. Hoover. Judge
Powers by reason of Illness has been un-
able to take any of a number of dispositions
OF witnesses who cannot be brought here to
testify and whose testimony Is Of vital Inn
Bradley.
Mr.. Hoover denied the published state
ment that he and his associates have
expressed any dislike of the reported
statements of Justice Stafford In his
address to the Vermont State Association.
Attorney Hoover said: Counsel for Mrs.
Bradley have not discussed and decline
at this time to discuss the alleged re-
marks of Justice Stafford concerning the
unwritten law and temporary insan-
ity' as a defense in criminal cases. The
case of Mrs. Bradley is not based on the
unwritten law, but the evidence which
will be adduced on her behalf will pre-
sent a defense which Is well recognized
by the written law and adJudged deci-
sions of the highest state and federal
courts of the Union"
