SCHOOL PAX DEFEATED.
The Unknown Tongues" Vote
Against Public Schools.

A dispatch from Laurens says
quite lively election was held Sat-
,Irday at the Long Branch school
in which the advocates Of the "Un-
known Tongues" religion played
quite q. conspicuous part, winning the
election for themselves, it Is alleg-
ed by voting negro. It Is recall.
ed that this school was the occasion
of considerable public comment some
months ago when the county board of
education dismissed the board of
trustees for employing teacher who
was not properly qualified and who
consumed much of the school time
teaching the unknown tongue.
The, election Saturday was on the
question of voting special tax for
the schools in that district. All
those who are believers in the un-
known tongue religion and who with
drew their patronage Of the schoof
last spring when the old board was
dismissed and new teacher employ
ed, were oppose to the tax, accord
ing to the statment Of the managers
of the election, who were at Laurens
few days after and reported the
matter to Superintendent Pitts.
The final vote was tie, IA to
"A, but only after late in the day,
one Preston Blakely, colored, cast
his ballot against the tax. The
proposed levy was therefore defeat
ed, but another petition will at once
be circulated. However, it Is fear
ed that since one negro voted this
time, doubtless more will be in
fluenced at the next election.

The Columbia Record OF Tuesday
saws: mfr. w. o. Tatum said this
morning that the statement publish
ed to the effect that the Hon. Thos.
NJ. Raysor of Orangeburg had been
of counsel for him in the dispensary
cases but had retired was incorrect.
Mr.. Raysor is still one of Mr.. Ia
tum's attorneys. Mr. Tatum said he
surmised the report had been mis-
led by the fact that his chief of coun-
sci in naming the attorneys associat-
ed with him in these cases. had in
advertently failed to mention MI.

Don't Forget the Old Folks.

Every comfort that can be drawn
around the old people ought to be
held as a duty. to perform which
will warm the hearts of the young
people. The heat Of their day has
passed; all the stormy morning and
the torrid noon have gone by and
they are now in the twilight waiting
for the stars. 1t is a good thing
to draw mantles about them as the
night air begins to grow cold. 1t
is a good thing to hold bright pic
lures before dim eyes; a good thing
to provide music for the ears that
are not much longer to hear A
good thing with song and with cheer
to steady their steps down the far
ther slope.

HOMICIDE IN AIKEN COUNTY.
White Man Blows Out Brains of
Another at JohnstoWn.

The twelfth homicide to occur in
Aiken county this year occurred in
Johnstown, a suburb of Bath, Tues
day night, when Horace Jones was
shot and instantly killed by Watt
Delong, both white men. Delong
and son have been placed in the
Aiken jail, pending the inyestiga-
tion by the coroner.
Delong says that Monday night
his children were attending a night
school in Johnstown and that he had
been watching corn field, which he
believed some one had been steal
Ing from and had gone by the school
for the children to take them home.
Previous to this, he said, he had a
fuss with Jones. While he was wait
ing at the school, some one told him
that Jones was at the outside wait
ing for him to come out to kill him.
and advised him not to go out Of
the door.
AT the close of the school, he AYERS
that he took the children and went
out Of the back door. Just as he
had gotten outside the building Jones
came around the corner and struck
him with a brickbat, whereupon De-
long pulled his pistol and shot him
once, the ball taking effect in Jones
head, and literally blowing his brains
out. Delong surrendered to the Of
ficers and was carried to Aiken.
Delong is said to be peaceable
man. Jones' reputation is said not to
be good. On this occasion he Is
said to have been under the influ
ence of liquor. The original fuss
is said to have started about De-
longs daughter, and Jones is said
to have told parties that he would
Kill Delong.

COOK LANDS IN NEW YORK.
He Is Greeted by an Immense
Crowd of People.

DR.. Cook, the discoverer Of the
North Pole, landed in New York
Tuesday afternoon after an absence
of nearly three years. On landing
he made a rush for his wife. For
the moment he even missed the
children, who stood few feet away,
until his wife silently led him to
them. Then, as he lifted his young
est daughter there to his shoulder,
the silent watching crowd broke into
a storm Of cheers.
II have come from the pole. /
have brought my story and my data
with me. I have not come home to
enter into arguments with one man
or with fifty men, but ! am here to
present a clear record Of a piece OF
work over which I have right to
display certain amount Of pride.
II am willing to abide by the final
verdict of competent judges. That
alone can satisfy me and the pub
lie.
Furthermore, not only will my
report be before you in black and
white, but will also bring to Aneri-
ca human witnesses to prove that I
have been to the pole"
Such is the substance OF the first
message DR.. Frederick A. Cook
brought home in person to America
Tuesday, answering his critics the
world over.

TIMELY HINTS TO HUNTERS.
The, Law Of Trespass and Some
Hunting Suggestions.

Already the hunters are looking
around for dogs and rubbing up their
guns. According to'the law, and. per
SON hunting, fishing or roaming over
the lands Of another without permis-
sion is a trespasser. Ignorance Is no
excuse. The plea only aggravates
the offense., If. farmers want birds
Killed, they will no doubt invite some
of their cunning friends to do it
when the season opens.
Do not hunt on lands of others
without permission. Never carry a
loaded gun while riding in buggy
or other vehicle. When the days
hunting is over, take out the cart
ridges. If birds are abundant, do
not kill them all at once. There
was good citizen Of another county
that was fond of hunting. He es-
timated the number Of birds actu-
ally needed by the family for their
dinner. When he bagged that num-
ber not another one would be shot,
even if one attempted to bite him.
If you get permission to hont on
If you get permission to hunt on
lands of another, turn over a fair
the land. Common politeness and
good breeding demand that courtesy.
Do not kill all you can and sneak
off without saying a word to any of
the family. If farmer notifies you
that he wishes no shooting on his
premises do not sass" him, but ask
his pardon, act the gentleman and
get off in such a good humor that
you will have his resepct.

ASKING FOR ELECTION
PETITION PRESENTED TO GOV
ANsEL ON TUESDAY
Requesting Him to Order an Elec-
sion in Berkeley County for An.
nexation to Orangeburg.
lA4sA.al.f -. .g9 - =

( A petition has been presented to
! Gov. Ansel by the people who live
in that part Of Berkeley county that
wish to annex themselves TO Orange
& burg county, requesting him to or
der an election to determine the
matter. The petition was present.
ed to the Governor on Tuesday by
4 a. delegation Of citizens from Berk-
eIey county, who were accompanied
& by Major w. L. Glaze, Of the Or
angeburg Bar, who drew the petition,
and who. is acting in legal way for
the petitioners.
q s The territory embraced in the pc
tition extends from Four Holes
swamp on the west to Vances on the
east, and from the Orangeburg line
Just this side of Holly Hill to Dean
swamp several miles below that
thriving little town. It embraces
about one hundred square miles
and has about one million dollars
worth Of taxable property. It will
take in the towns Of Holly Kill,
Eutawville, Ferguson and one or
two smaller hamlets. 1t takes in
a big lumber mill, considerable rail-
way mileage and one or two banks,
to say nothing Of many smaller en-
terprises.
IIThis section is really the richest
part of Berkeley county and WillS be
missed by the old county when it
votes itself to Orangeburg county,
which seems to be- an assured, fact
Just as soon as the. people living
in it get a chance to. express them
selves at the ballot box. In addition
to the fine lands and wealth Of the
territory embraced in the petition,
it has splendid citizenship, number
ing several hundred of the very best
people Of Berkeley county or the
State. It is, said that they are al
most unite for annexation.
* The Berkeley people living with
in the territory that wish to join
Orangeburg are the only ones that
will be allowed to vote on the ques-
ton Of annexation. They must de-
eide the matter for themselves.
While they will benefit US by COM
ing with US, we will also benefit
them. orangeburg is rich county,
and our taxes should be kept low.
We have no debt, and is not likely
to have one, as we are plain peo-
pie, and do not believe in pomp and
show. Our present public buildings
will do us until we can build better
ones without going into debt.
The people Of Orangeburg coun-
ty are pleased to know that our
neighbors are willing to join us, and
they will be given a hearty welcome
as we'll as a fair, square deal. If.
We mistake not, the territory now
wishing to join US was part Of.
Orangeburg county in the long ago.
The matter of the election was re-
ferred by the Governor to the At
torney-General. who will pass On it
and order the election held. Sew.
eeal weeks notice have to 5be given
in 1.-The Berkeley county PAPER be-
fore the election. After that is held,
should 1t be favorable for annexation,
the transfer will be arranged.

COTTON ADVANCES N PRICE.
Touches the Thirteen Cents Mark on
Last Tuesday.

Cotton has been going up for
the last few days. and We expect to
see it touch the fifteen cent mark in
the next few weeks If the cotton
sold for future delivery by the farm
ers does not cause the buyers to hold
of until the mills use up what they
bought from the farmers in the sum-
mer at price much below the pres
ent prices. If it was not for these
future sales we believe cotton would
go to fifteen cents by the end OF
October. But the future. sales are
an unknown quantity and may cause
the market to. break when that cot
ton goes on the market. Receipts
are still heavy.

AMAZING FACTS

The certified records show the prop
erty values of this island have increas-
ed n thousand and seventy-one per
cent. within the last eight years, an
average of over one hundred and thir-
ty-three per cent. each year. The in
crease at Wildwood Crest, which is
only three years from the virgin sand
dunes, has been more than five times
the above average since it was begun;
and this too in the face of the fact that
half of that time the whole country
has been laboring under the stress of
the panic which has held up business
almost everywhere. The observer is
amazed at such growth and activity
at Wildwood Crest right through the
time of prevalent sta9nation. One
need only to ride or walk from Crosse
avenue to Rambler road to see the rea-
sons why beautiful houses are being
built in every direction. The eleva-
ton of the land, the view of the ocean
and mainland from every building
site; the perfect streets, curbs and pave
ments; the complete lighting, water,
telephone, gas, trolley and sewer sys-
TENS, all before his eyes, conspire to
tell the reasons for the hustle and rush
of building one sees On every hand.
The people who own lots there know
it will pay to build at once, for the
conditions are such that houses there
a be promptly leased or sold, in the
n case bringing a good income and
in the other a good profit.
