A certain city in which flourish innumer-
able boarding schools has a candy store
which is the secret Mecca Of every girl who
can escape from her chareron long enough
to hasten to its hospitahlr door.
The name OF the city shall not be dl-
vulged for the matrons and house mothers
and chaperons and principals and all the
other supervisors of the app,tites and

happen to see this and get wise.
These supervisory personages have shown
a cruel hardness of hear on the subject Of
candy which has ade il necessary for the

FLORENCE MAKES
 GREAT ADVANCE
BAPTIST UNIVERSITY BUILDING IS BEING REMOCELED FOR SCHOOL AND STATE NORMAL HAS NEW WING COSTING $15,ooo.

Florence, July 2.-(Special.)-A great ad- vance is being made in the educational facilities of Florence with the remodeling of the old Baptist university building, which is now in progress and the addl- tion to the State Normal college of a $15,0O0 wing, the foundation for which is being laid on the north side of the main building.
 Over $7GO0 is being spent on the old Bap- list university building, which cost origi- nally $S00O0, and which when it is re- stored will be one of the finest and most valuable pieces of school property in the state.
 The school will be known in the future as the Florence University for Women, but in reality it will be the successor to the LaGrange, Ga., Female college, the second oldest school in the south. It will be opened September IS, with M. w. Hat ton, A. M, LL. D., and O. W. Ander- ion presidents.
 It is probable, since the burning of the two large buildings of the LaGrange col lege Sunday, that 40 of the pupils of that institution will be transferred to the Flor ence university.

New York. July 22-Policeman Alfred Nathaniel Shuttleworth of Brooklyn is dead Although the physicians certifi- cate will give paralysis as the cause of Shuttleworth's death, all who know the facts tell a different story. They say Shuttleworth died of remorse and of a broken heart.
 Ten months ago he shot and killed a boy who was resisting arrest. It was an accidental killing, Shuttleworth always insisted, but he was indicted by the grand jury, suspended from duty, summed by his old friends and ostracised by his neighbors.
