and soon crowd from the neighbor
hood was out searching for he negro.
They came up with him IN the woods
and Magistrate McElveen took him
in custody. Having securely tied him,
he hurried his prisoner to kingstree
and delivered HIM into the hands of
the Sheriff, as above stated.
The negro, Johnnie Rose, is well
known in Kingstree, having been
loaling and doing odd jobs about
town within the last week. He seems
to be IL vagabond of unknown par.
entage, and has been in trouble sew
eral times before. Several years ago
when Mr W F Kennedy's dwelling
in "New' Town was entered at
night by negroes and the crowd was
hunting them down., is same negro,
Johnnie Rose, was 81 ting" a ride
on IA train and some the crowd,
mistaklng HIM fo- one the parties
they were looking for, shot him, but
the wound was not serious. There
being no evidence against him at the
time for anything except stealing a
ride, he was released next day. He Is
a ful!-blood negro, black and very
dirty looking, and is small for his
age, which is said to be Is or 19
years.
SPECIAL TERM ASKED FOR.
On Tuesday, after Il conference
with Sheriff Graham, Solicitor Stoli
wrote Governor Ansel asking that a
special term of court be held to try
the negro, Rose. The time set for
the holding of the court is January .,
1910, which under the machinery
of the law is the earliest date poss,-

Governor will order special term on
or about that date, the law being
mandatory on that subject.

ICE CUTTING IN A
MODERN MANNER
A Ton a Minute Cut and Loaded at
The Park

The ice loading device at Mountain
Lake Park which was installed last
winter at the lake and then the pro-
jectors were disappointed because the
ice failed to form, had the first prac-
teal demonstration of it's capacity to
handle ice last week, when it worked
successfully and met every expectancy
of the interested parties.
AS the guest of Superintendent Davis,
the editor of THE REPUBLICAN was
taken to the lake on last Friday after
noon.
The manner and mode of harvesting
ice by modern methods was a revela-
ton, and those who have never had the
pleasure of witnessing how ice is cut
and stored by machinery should avail
themselves of the present opportunity.
A description would convey but in
adequately how the work is accom-
plished, but by the employment Of
small steam engine and less than TWEEN
ty-five men and BOYS a ton of ice each
minutes is cut, loaded into cars or
stored in the large house on the shore
of the lake. The ice is plowed into %
inch squares, this is spudded apart at
the proper moment and floated into a
channel leading to the conveyor or end
less chain arrangement which draws
the squares up the incline and deposits
them on chutes leading to the cars on
the siding or the ice house as is re-
quired. A constant stream of ice, so
to speak, is thus kept moving and is
handled Systematically and with less
labor than it would seem possible.
Gangs of men on the chutes send the
ice along to the cars, three of which
are placed for loading at one time and
these are filled in about an hours time.
So far more than fifty car loads have
been sent out and hundreds of tons are
stored in the ice house at the Park for
local consumption.

GENTLEMEN:-Th report of the Blu
reau of immigration of the State of
Maryland received few days ago, and
| desire to congratulate you on your
very creditahle report which represents
no small amount of labor on your part
and contains much valuable informa-
ton not only to the people of Maryland
but to the entire United States and
great m" " immigrants who annually
CON to our shores from Europe. Yet
| see no reason why Eastern and South
ern Maryland should receive so much
attention in this report and the Wet
ern end of the State be left out entirely.
Western Maryland. in my opinion
land | am pretty we'll acquainted with
the State of Maryland, has many ad-
vantages over the lower counties. We
have more healthy climate, richer soil
and produce better crops of wheat,
oats, rye, barley, buckwheat, potatoes
and hay than are raised anywhere in
the low!ands of this State; then you
cannot find better fruit anywhere in
the country than is raised in Western
Maryland. as report of the Horticul-
tural Exhibition of this State, and that
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, will testify.
hope this omission in your report
was due to the lack of information, and
I l, L. e IL
as well as a number of thoroughly reli-
able and representative men in West
ern Maryland would be only too glad to
supply you with all the data necessary
regarding our resources and natural ad-
vantages at any time, should you desire
to call upon them.
Thanking you for your kindness in

Mr.. WAKEFIELD ON TEACHING
Aery!aHa's Ex-Governor Tells ellis
Experience as a Teacher.


Telling of his own experience as a
school teacher in a small log school,
former Governor Warfield addressed
the Parents and Teachers Club of
School No. "a on Thursday night of last
week at the school, Twenty-second and
Cromwell streets, Baltimore. The
former Governor dwelt on the primary
public schools and their relation to the
business community.
81 am greatly interested" he began,
I'm the cause of public education be-
cause at one time | was a teacher my
self. The teachers position is one of
great responsibility. In fact, the
teacher is responsible to the child for
its successes or failures in life, next to
the mother and father of the child.
The greatest influence of the teacher
on the child is in the primary schools.
1t is while the child's mind is capable
of rapid development that the primary
school teacher may do her work She
may at this period give the child a firm
foundation for his entire life.
Parents should cooperate with the
teachers IN the training of the child.
Organizations of parents and teachers
such as the one at this school can be
great factors for good in this commun-
ity. In fact, | believe that there
should be an ors anization embracing all
of the teachers and parents clubs in
the city and another organization en-
bracing all of such clubs in the State.
These clubs, where the parents and
teachers cooperate in working for the
good of the children, will accomplish
great results.
School teaching is often a tiresome
position to the teachers. Seated at a
desk large part of her time and con-
fined in room facing a number of
children for hours is hard work. | was
a teacher myself once, and | know ex-
actly what school teaching calls for.
My school was little log one, and |
was the only teacher | was not a
school teacher by professio but IN
those days school teaching was make

Young men and women decide to make

lines few of the ladies' decide that
they would rather manage a domestic
institution for man than teach school
I'm the schools of this city there are
about 80, 600 pupils. OF these pupils
about three-quarters will leave the
schools before they finish the grades in
the primary department. They will
start out in the world and the ones who
are ambitious will win success by sheer
force and some of these will be the
leaders of the future"

4 Slight Wreck Near Oakland.

What might have resulted in a very
serious and disastrous passenger train
wreck occurred last Thursday morning
about eleven O'Clock at Weber station,
midway between Oakland and Noun
tain Lake Park, when a wheel under
the smoking car of the east bound &C
commodation burst and derailed the car
which bounded over the ties for a dis
tance of hundred wards before the en-
gineer brought his train to a stop The
passengers in the car were mostly local
people and they received fright which
they will remember for some time to
come. The passengers in other cars of
the train hardly felt the jar. The de-
rallied car was soon replaced on the
track and that portion of the train
which escaped was transferred to the
north track and proceeded after an
hours delay.

The Highest Human Ascent.

1t has been stated that new Italian
record of SO, 700 feet has been created
in Italy; but according to a letter from
the aeronauts themselves, Nina and
Placenza, it appears that the maximum
height was only about 5000 metres, or
80, $50 feet. Since their cotton balloon
held only 800 cubic feet and con.
tanned Illuminating gas, this was a re-
markable performance, and though
there is some doubt as to the barome-
trio observations, it probably exceeds
both the French and Italian records.
The worlds record is, however, still
held by Berson and Surfing, who ascend
ed from Charlottenburg, near Berlin,
on July 81, 1901, in balloon of nearly
100000 capacity, partially filled with
hydrogen gas, to the height of 81, 45O
feet

OVER THIRTY LIVES
LOST IN BLIZZARD
Damage by Storm and Tidal Wave
Near Boston Is 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 28-The
Christmas blizzard. the most severe
storm experienced in the east in TWEEN
ty years, tied up local traffic yesterday
in cities from PENNSYLVANIA to Maine
and dlsarranged train schedules through
out half dozen states. Conditions,
however, are rapidly improving and
railroads and municipalities are bending
every effort to move intercity and local
traffic. There is reason to believe that
conditions will be normal again by to-
night, when another storm is expected
from the west.
The heaviest financial loss was in and
around Boston, where tidal wave did
damage estimated at S., 000,0
A number of persons have met their
deaths through exposure or accident,
five in Philadelphia and sixteen in New
York. The final reports of fatalities
in New England have not yet come to
hand. Twelve men probably persisted
in the wreck of a schooner off Massa-
chusettS.
In Philadelphia general bushes. yes
terday was pract cally at a standstill.
All through trains were late. only one
street car line was running and the city
suffered from shortage of milk Re-
ports from Pittsburg and Harrisburg
indicate that conditions are improving
rapidly
Washington did not suffer severely,
but on account of traffic conditions to
the north President Taft decided to
postpone an engagement to speak in
New York.
Communication with Boston was
maintained only with difficulty The
storm in New England seems to have
been worse in the vicinity of New Bed
ford, Providence, Fall River, Newport,
Pawtucket and Woonsocket
Train service from Baltimore to
Philadelphia and New York is still in
bad shape, and through passengers
were delayed 10 to % hours. One tram
which left New York over the Pennsyl-
vania railroad early yesterday morning
was heard of at Wilmington late in the
afternoon. Service on the Baltimore
and Ohio was little, if any, better.
Local trains on the Northern Central
and Western Maryland are running
practically on schedule time
The property loss in Boston and vcin-
ity due to the storm is placed at IS, OOO,-
0C0. Four lives have been reported
lost to date.
The five masted schooner, Davis
Palmer, was wrecked off Hull Mass,
and her crew of twelve men was lost
Eighteen persons lost their lives in
and near New York in the blizzard or
from accidents caused by it. Ten thou
sand men were employed to remove
snow from New York streets. Yester-
day afternoon the big cities in the Mid
die Atlantic and New England States
reported that they were fast recover
ing from the effects of the storm and
that business and traffic were near
