WRECK OF A BARGE
Some Fifteen Persons Were Drowned
by the Accident.

The wooden lumber barge Arcad-
ia, which left Manistee, Mich, April
- for Two Rivers with cargo Of
hard wood, has undoubtedly been
lost in Lake Michigan with her cap
tain and owner, Harry May, his wife,
and about a doxen sailors.
The boat has not been heard from
definitely since leaving Manistee.
Wreckage has been found along the
beach from Pent Yater north to Lit
tie Point Sauble, and part of it has
been identified as the cargo of the
lost craft.
The Arcadia was a wooden vessel,
l19 feet in length, 26 feet beam and
was built in Milwaukee, Wis, in
1888.
The Arcadia left Manistee April
12. Apri! 13 and IA Lake Michigan
was swept by such a severe storm
that navigation was almost complete
'ly tied up. 1t was during this storm
tnat the Arcadia was propably lost.
Wreckage was sighted for miles
off Ludington in the direct course to
Milwaukee Immediately after the
gale, but until bulwarks bearing the
steamers name washed ashore it was
impossible to identify the wrecked
craft.

ORIGIN OF COMMON PHRASES.
Many Which Have Been Adopted From,
Sports and Pastimes.

Sports and pastimes of bygone days
--and even of the present time-haTe
added much to the English language.
Check" which is said to be "shak,"
a variation of 'shah," has not only
come into common speech, but has
been the foundation of many other
words. A philologist traces to it the
checker board" the exchequer" and
"a checkered career" "a good move
is also probably from chess. "Stoop
to" is from faleonry. Take the
wind out of he sails is from yacht
ing; so is ''on the wrong tack" TO
jockey" ito show clean pair OF
heels are from horse racing. Fenc-
ing has been very fruitful as source
of new words. It gives "a hit" "a
palpable hit" to parry question,
or fence with it," "a home thrust"
"a counter" "to be off ones guard"
From pugilism comes ito toss up the
SPONGE" or "to chuck it up Put
your back into it" is Renaissance
of rowing. Cricket has given many
phrases, of which, perhaps, "stumped,
"I stumped him on that question: is

Ing. Gay, there's the rub" is derived
from bowls, though "a rub On the

After Big Game.

The recent indictments returned
against Alfred and David Morris,
Albert Baldwin. Sr, and Frank T.
Howard, at Mobile, Ala, for con-
spiring to violate the Anti-Lottery
law, have recalled the days when
the lottery business was at the
heighth of it's career in the South.
These four men, bankers and capl-
talists, who are all rated as million
aires, are charged with being the
owners Of the Honduras lottery,
whose earnings in the United States
are said to have aggregated S500,000
per month.
Alfred Hennen Morris and David
Hennen Morris, the latter of whom
married one of the Vanderbilts, are
sons Of the late John A Morris,
whose father was the Louisiana lot
terry king. 1t was through the late
Charles T. Howard, father Of Frank
T. Howard, one of the men indicted,
that the elder Morris and his asso-
GATES, among Lhem A. 6dldWln, Or,

lature, the charter of the Louisiana
Lottery company for period of 25
years.

Paul Conrad. who remained Presl-
dent until the death by liml-
tation, of the company. In its
halcon days the Louisiana Lottery
company's possible receipts were
$4,000 ,0OOa a month, aggregate prizes
about so per cent, thereof, but
unsold tickets were always put in
the wheel and often drew the priz-
es, the largest of which in the
palmiest days was $500, 900.

A Foolish Notion.

There are stranger things in Ger
many than Emperor William. There
is, for instance, a great editor in
Berlin who is a positive refreshing
novelty-as much so as the fat wo-
man in the side show or the 500
pound pumpkin. He hopes Japan
will not hopelessly cripple the new
navy of the United States, principal
ly because he wants our navy spared
to prevent England demanding the
destruction of the ships of Germany:
1t is easily understood that we stand
between England and the destruc-
ton Of the German fleet, but hope
less and complete ruination of our
ships by Japan is something that we
have not contemplated at length.
The Berlin editor has our assur-
ance that we shall not permit our
entire navy to be destroyed by ia
pan. We shall be able to run few
small warships up shallow rivers and
hide them where the little brown
man cannot get at them. And if then
they are of use in warding off the
dogs of war England stands ready to
let loose on Germany--well, we
might keep them at home, after all.
It is genuinely funny to hear those
people talk over in Europe: They
have just as mich idea Of the re-
sources and capabilities Of this coun-
try as the average japanese has; and
that in spite Of the many object les
sons we have supplied. What they
need is a course of travel, combined
with ordinary horse sense and a few
newspapers that are willing to see
things this side of the water just as
they are.

The Trolley Line.

The News and Courier says Mr..
Lawrance N. Pinckney has returned
to Charleston from New York, where
he attended a meeting of the South
Carolina Public Service Corporation,
which is to connect Charleston with
the leading cotton mill manufactur-
ing cities of the State. Mr.. Pinckney
reports matters to be in very sat
isfactory condition. The surveys are
in progress and the status of affairs
generally pleasing alike to the pro-
moters of the big corporation as well
as the cities and manufactures along
the route of the road, which see bet
ter transportation facilities with its
construction. This is good news, and
we hope the line will soon be in
working order.

Shun Tainted Money.

William Jennings Bryan has
praises for churches and colleges
that refuse to take morey that has
been made by dishonest means. He
spoke recently in the New National
theater, Washington, D. c., under
the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. He
took for his subject the Prince of
Peace. -
Zone of our rich men" he said,
''has reached a point where he some
times finds difficulty to find people
to take his money. And that | re-
gard as the best evidence of the
growth of a moral sentiment in this
country. 1t means something when
a great church pauses, hesitates, re-
fnses to accept the money until it
knows how it is made.
81 believe the time will come when
churches and colleges will refuse to
go into partnership in the spending
of money immorally made. The in
huence Of that public opinion will
be a powerful factor in the restoring
of Righteousness. These institu-
tions should say to a man: You do
not make your money honestly; we
will not share the odium with you. -

of rhe County Cou-. of Nelson until
that Court was abolished by the new
Constitution. For three years he has
been in charge Of the Ryan estate as

Commissioner Payne made the fol-

Judge Loving waited until he could
get the full story from the girls lips

Matches Burned in a Day.

It is estimated that the United
Kingdom alone manages to consume
500,0C0,000 matches day, which
comes out at about u for every man,
woman and child. Smokers probably
account for the greater number, 80
that they will be interested to know
that about 80 tons of wood are used
I'D in the form of matches every day,
or about 10000 tons a year. If one
days consumption Of matches were
placed end to end they would extend
for a distance OF about $4,000 miles.
Sweden and Norway, where matches
are made in enormous quantities, ex-
port over $4,000 tons of wooden
matches every year. IN France, where
the tax on matches averages 8 cents
an inhabitant, the consumption is
comparatively small.

TOOK HIM DOWN.
An American Who Offered to Thrash
A Grand Duke.

The American colony at Monte
Carlo is chuckling over the adven-
ture of one of their number, an
American millionaire, with Grand
Duke Michael Of Russia, in which
his imperial highness came out Sec
ond best. For some unaccountable
reason your correspondent could not
obtain the name Of the American
perhaps, being booked for an early
steamer, he wants to tell the story
himself on his return.
1t appears that the man from the
United States was jogging along in
his auto en- route for the golf club,
and not suffering from speed mania
went rather slowly. Behind him, on
the narrow road, was a machine that
kept up a perpetual footing and snar-
ling, asking, nay demanding, the
right of way in double quick order.
However, our American, being leis-
urely inclined, refused to take no
tice. When finally he pulled up at
the club, the other machine pranced
alongside and a tall, military-looking
gent confronted the American.
Sir" he cried, you evidently
don't know who l am. Please remem-
Der for the future that I am Grand
Duke Michael Of Russia. -
"Glad to meet you Nike replied
the American, ''but, on your own
part, remember that we are not in
Russia. likewise that l don't care
rap for imperial highnesses -
At first mike" seemed petrifed
with amazement, then pulled himself
together and shouted menacingly.
'How dare you, poltroon, - -"
"Shut your face" answc"-d the
American, taking both hands out of
his pockets, another word from you
and I will wipe your imperial snout
on the grass before all thesepeople. "
The grand duke did as he was told,
jumped in his automobile and drove
away. He hasn't shown up at the
Casino since.

THE STATE LEAGUE
Orangeburg Will Have Base Ball
Again This Summer.

Again This Summer.
It has been definitely decided that
Orangeburg will have base ball again
this year. The State League has
been organized with clubs from Or
angeburg, Darlington, Greenyille,
Sumter and Anderson. Sufficient
funds having been subscribed here to
keep our club in the field to the end
of the season. It has not been de-
fnitely decided when the season will
open but it will be about the middle
or latter part of May.
At a meeting in Columbia last
week, in which Orangeburg was rep
resented by Mr.. Jas P. Doyle, Hon.
NJ. L. Smith, of Camden, who is
known to be one of the biggest fans
in the State, was made president.
Mr.. Smith does not come from any
one of the cities that is in the league,
and he will deal impartially with the
various teams. Mr.. William Built
man, of Sumter, was elected vice
president A secretary and treasur-
er will be elected later.
The salary limit has been placed
at $3.50 to include the salary of the
manager, and a forfeit will be put up
by each town as guarantee. The
number of each team will be y men
to include the manager, and the man
ayers of the teams will have two
weeks in which to cut the number OF
his men to the limit.
The season will consist of twelve
weeks, each team playing SO games
at home and SO away from home.
Each city will have to put up
$500 to enter the league, and when
that amount has been exhausted by
any city and they do not care to
spend any more money, the league
can be discontinued. The league will
also apply for national projection.

"cutler" Net Derived From "cut."

"cutler" Net Derived From "cut."
Cutler" according to its present
use, should mean man who makes
things that cut, but really it has no
more to do with ''cut" than "cutlass"
and "cutlet" have, which is just moth
ing at all. "Cut" has some Teutonic
origin, but Cutler" comes through
French from the Latin "cultellarius, :"
which meant either a soldier armed
with knife or a knifemaker. and
"cultellus," a little knife, was the
diminutive of cutler" which among
other things, meant plowshare (or
.'coulter"). "Cutlass" comes from the
same source and Outlet is cotelette," ;"

Wife desertion is a coWardly
thing and deserves punishment. but
it is to be doubted whether putting
the wife deserter in the penitentiary
would not make the lot of the wife
harder than ever. So long as a
man is at liberty there is a chance
Of making him support his wife,
but if he is in the penitentiary
that chance vanishes. The problem
is to compel men to support the wo-
men to whom they are married.
Putting them in a position where
they have no earning capacity will
hardly accomplish the desired end.

The colored people throw away a
great deal Of their hard earned mon

Frank Fielder, colored man from
Bowman neighborhood, undertook
to paint Orangeburg red, and as a
consequence he fell into the hands
of the guardians OF the peace. He
had acted so outrageously that May
or Doyle determined to make an ex-
ample Of him. So he fined him on
different counts S12O, which Fielder
paid. This is a prettv; big sum for

NEGRO KILLED.
Killed in Columbia by an Ex-coun-
ty Official.
There Had Been Quarrel Between
the Two the Night Before the Kill
ing Occurred.

lIS OCCuIISO.
The Columbia Record says the
shooting to death Of negro hack
man named Nose Tucker BY eX-Cor-
oner William S. Green, serving at the
time as bailiff in the circuit court,
in Peter Greete's fruit Store on Main
street, nearly opposite the skyscraper
at 1890 Friday morning, caused
much excitement about the store, and
for a time it looked as if conditions
were ripe for riot, the screaming
widow Of the dead hackman follow
ing the undertaker's basket bearing
the remains away from the place ana
a dozen or more scatter-brained white
men looking for opening to give
expression to their race feeling. But
Columbia people, both white and
black are noted for being cool-headed
and the crowd finally thinned out
without any effort to precipitate a
clash. Chief Daily was on hand with
three assistants.
Mr.. Green has been more or less of
a heavy drinker for several years.
About a year ago he shot himself in
the chest at his rooms over the Stan
ley china hall. He has shot and cut
a number of negroes on more or less
provocation.
The trouble which ended in Tuck
ers death appears to have started
Thursday night, according to state
ments credited to a Mr.. A. l.. Davis,
who cannot be located now. Mr..
Davis, who was passenger in Tuck
er's hack Thursday night on Wash
ington street, was attacked by Green
with a knife after Green had slashed
at the hackman. Mr.. Davis had a
new hat cut to pieces. But he re-
fused to appear against Green in the
recorders court and the case was
dropped.
In Green's store at the time of the
killing was Mr.. Walter Atkinson, a
travelling man from Jersey City. He
says that at the time Green came into
the store Tucker was sitting to the
counter writing out his address for
him (Atkinson), that Green without
a word from Tucker swore at him
and shot him. Tucker stopped or
staggered toward an open knife on
the floor and Green told him if he at
tempted to pick it up ne would shoot
him through the head. Tucker then
staggered out of the back door Of the
store and fell dead in the back yard.
The bullet, a 3S-calibre, was cut out
of fuckers neck, having entered the
left side and severed both the jugular
vein and large artery. The pencil
with which Tucker had been writing
was also in fuckers clenched fist.
Peter Greete and his son, Louis saw
the killing, but say they cannot give
details.
After standing on the sidewalk,
perhaps FIVE minutes, during which
Mr.. Green remarked to passers-by
that he told the negro that if he ad-
vanced upon him with the knife be
would kill him. When two newspa-
per representatives arrived on the
scene Green asked them to note that
he was 'as cool asa cucumber. He
then walked around to the sheriff S
Office and surrendered. He has re-
tanned Mr.. P. H. Nelson to defend
him. Green will likely apply for
bail in few days.

THEY DID RIGHT.
Some IrisLmen Threw Aged Eggs at
Some Actors.

The hearing in the case of the ten

of January 81, at performance OF
the sketch, The Irish Servant Girl, .

The demonstration against the
sketch was definitely and deliberately
planned, and the police arrested more
than a score of Irishmen, who, as al
legged, had hurled aged eggs and 9TH
er objects at the stage and showed
their indignation at the performance
in other ways. Only ten Of the prls-
oners were held for trial in the court
of special sessions.
Judge Fleeming, who presided,
characterized the sketch as indecent,
vulgar and shocking in the extreme, ,
and when the last defendant was dis
chargd, he said: mo man. especially
an lrisman, would sit still and wit
ness a performance that ridiculed
