had circulated the report that Lee

causing him to fear that he would be

at work in Mr.. Strother's field and
Lee appeared with a shotgun and
said that Weathers and other ne.
groes were trying to lynch him.
The deceased made a rush on Tile

MR.. MARTIN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Is Father of State Superintendent OF
Education.

ANDERSON, May 16.-Mr. Thomas
C. Martin, father of State Superin-
tendent Of Education O. B. Martin
and Mr.. B. F. Martin, a leading And
erson attorney, made an unsuccess-
full attempt at suicide this morning
by drowning. He jumped into a
small pond on Mrs. Eva Murray's
place in this city and was discovered
soon afterwards. He was dragged
to the bank by Mr. Duff Murray, who
was attracted to the spot, and medical
attention was quickly secured. Mr..
Martin tonight is recovering from
the severe shock at the Anderson
hospital.
Mr.. Martinformerlyliv Pickens
county and for several years has been
living in Greenville. Some weeks ago
he came to Anderson and has been
making his home with his son, Mr.. B;
F. Martin. He is in his 80th year and
has been in wretched health for some
time and it is said that his nervous
system is almost wreck. This, it is
thought. caused him to make the at
tempt on his life. Mr.. Martin was
not complaining more than usual
this morning. He started to walk
from his sons home on north Main
street into the city and it. is suppos-
ed that that he went down Murray
avenue and entered Mrs. Murray's
premises from that street. No one
saw him enter the place or go about
the pond. Members of the Murray
family were seated in room in view
of the pond. They were attracted
by something floating on the water;
Mr.. Murray hurried to the pond and
plunged in thinking that a child had
gotten out too far. He caught hold
of Mr.. Martin and, dragged him to
the bank. The pond is between FIVE
and eight feet deep in certain spots
and Mr.. Martin was out in the mid
die when discovered. He had placed
his coat and hat on the bank before
iumpingin. Mr.. Martin hasnumerous
relatives and acquaintance through
out the State who will be deeply in
terested in his condition. He is rest
ing well tonight and it is hoped that
he will soon be all right. He is most
highly esteemed by all who know him.

a general thing, very poor. Some

not worth anything; will not make as
much as the seed it took to plant the

The freight train was taken off

on Saturday. We will miss it very
much, as it came in late and went

A Plea to Keep Children at School
Full Nine Months.

TO the Patrons OF Lees Graded
School-Dear Friends: The impor-
tance of education in common things
for common people, as opposed to the
exceptional and the remote and ex-
traordinary, can scarcely be overestl-
mated. If then, the teachers are to
do their best toward meeting the
greatest need-a wider knowledge
of common things, they must have
the pupils for nine full months.
That teacher, who really enters in
to country life and seizes its oppor-
tunities for developing the resources
of the country. for increasing the
harvests, improving the landscapes,
frightening the homes and flooding
the people with knowledge about
helpful things, will never want for
friends nor for places to teach. The
drill in 'readin' writin' and 'rithme-
tic must come in the school-room,
but outfowing are other refreshing
streams of good. What we need is a
reconstruction of public opinion in
favor Of bettering our condition to
increase usefulness. =
Don't stop your children from
school, for you thenlimit the teacher's $
opportunity to inspire a love OF
knowledge and make all its avenues
look delightful A common school
should be the place where boys and
girls are fitted for the common
duties and responsibilities of life.
The teacher can unlock the books,
which are treasure houses of human
wisdom, and give them golden key.
Give him a chance to be of greater
benefit, for it's importance lies in the
fact that all our future business and
professional men--farmers, mer-
chants, doctors, preachers, must first
pass under the teachers arm. Then
give your child the advantage of at.
tending school, while it shall be of
greatest benefit.
While but few Qess than ten) have
stopped from our school, we make
the plea in behalf of these send
them to the village school.
Teachers should strive to add to
the comforts of the home, shape it's
environments into lines Of beauty
and increase it's attractiveness, till
home shall become the greatest mag
net of our people. = -
The keystone of American civihza-
ton is the home, which can be reach
ed from the common school.
Let us as teachers, on bended knee
and with uplifted hand at the altar
of liberty, swear eternal enmity to
ignorance, vice and crime! The
battle trumpet calls to "
eco, but not to win vaulting name,
Not to dwell in tents of pleasure
Dream not that the way is smooth,
Hope not that the thorns are roses,
Cast no longing eyes of youth where
sunny beam reposes;
You have sterner work to do,
Hosts to cut your passage through.
Close behind you CULTS are burning,
Toward! There is no returning.

on the front piazza, the front yard a
livid mass of flowers and Sam, the
gopher, lazily Willing away the
hours among them. He is becoming
a great pet with all the children who
see him. But of berries he is think
ing most. Large. red and full ripe
strawberries as large as your thumb,
fresh picked with the stems left on
and they also just washed and while
still wet, take one at a time by the
stem, dip it in a bowl of fine white
sugar, then bite it off. After they
are gone then comes the black berries
so large and fine, eaten the same as
the strawberries, is enough to make,
as Cabe says, an old man feel power
full fine, and it aren't liquor either.
The berry bushes are laden with
berries soon to be ripe, so there are
good times ahead.

we are going to meet our married
daughter and the dear little grand
son we have not seen in five long

house, look after the little chickens
and turkeys, and don't forget the
goslins, and be sure to shut up the
house if it rains; fill up the wood box
with wood, for we will be late get.
ting back. Now be a good boy and
you can go some time" Ididn't tell
her, /, too, wanted to go, for was
very anxious to see man on some
very important business, but told
her all right, for there is no counting
the love these mothers and grand
mothers have for their children, and
even to an old man the second crop
seems to be more rioting to the feel
ings than the first.
Too much rain. Farmers are to
