The Tocsin Of War.

Maj Anderson refused Gen. Beaure-
CARDS demands, and the fatefuI gun
which was to be the knell of 100000
men was fired at 1920 a. m, April r.,
1861. The people of Charleston went
wild in the intoxicatiOn of the thunder
of SO guns pouring their fire upon the
devoted fortress with its loyal garrison
of 60 soldiers. Among the many stories
of the East is that of the Apples of
Ishtar. which were wonderfully sweet
and seductive when. first tasted, but far
more bitter than wofmwood at the last.
But he who has once tasted them is
compelled by hard fate to eat TO the
last morsel. This was the case with the
deluded people of Charleston, who now
tasted the intoxicating sweetness of
their first mouthful of the APPLES of
Ishtar.
The bombardment went on for two
days with no loss of life to the garrison
ana none, as far as known, to the Con-
teoerates. lne strongest guns of the
Tort were onIthe sea face. and few bore
upon the beleaguering batteries. The
fort was not built for that purpose. and
Maj. Anderson Kept up a periodic fire.
not with the expectation of doing much
damage TO ms assailants, but simply TO
make soldierly resistance. He had
only limited amount of ammunition,
anu sca.ceiS any shot scrviceable for
such defense. When night came he
simply closed his ports, and allowed his
men to take their usual rest. The Com
federate fire had knocked off tho chin
neys of the buildings and heavily scored
the walls in some places: but. worst Of
all, 1t set fire to the barracks. starting
fierce famese which threatened to drive
the garrison out. At last, with his stock
OF ammunition about exhausted. Mai
Anderson received flag of truce from
Gen. Beauregard, and agreed TO evac-
uate the fort upon the condition that
he and his garrison should baul down
their flag, and march ont of the fort
and upon their TRANSPORTS with their
arms and all the honors of war.
The only life lost by the garrison was
by premature explosion in saluting the
flag when it was hauled down. Before
IT was holsted again the naughty citv or
Charleston was In ruins. and the over
bearing State of South Carolina had
been swept thru by conouering armies

by conflagration. and everv

s-SiN-Ycar-Old Boy Held for Murder.

Union, S. c., April 9.-Though
only six years old, Fred Bell is a
prisoner in the Union county jail
with the grim charge Of murder rest
ing against him.
1t is charged that the child shot
and killed Ethel Thomas, who was
>only three years Of age, and because
of this, the murder charge was
brought to-day. 1t was alleged that
when the accusation was made that
the boy tried to hide the body Of the
little victim, in an apparent effort to
cover up the tragedy.
1t was said that his efforts failed,
and discovery OF the dead baby girl
*caused the boys arrest. o
He is the youngest prisoner ever
committed to the Jail in this county,
and probably holds the record for

- SOME WAYS IN WHICH y.
s;s RURAL SCHOOLS MAY y.
!. BE IMPROVED. !.
-. -. -. y. Il = =

- . - y ~ ~ ~ ~ - ~ ~ ets
The rural schools of South Caro-
lima have been greatly improved il
recent years, but there is yet an
enormous amount of work to be done
before the schools in the country
will compare at all farorably with
the town and city schools. A large
per cent of the population of our
State is rural and agricultural; !;
therefore, if every boy and girl is to
be given an equal chance for an ed
ucation it is very important that our
people build up q good system of
country schools.
The efficiency of a country school
depends largely upon the effort put
forth in rural community by its
trustees and teachers. If they show
that they are interested and will take
the leadership in improving their
schools they will not fail to get CO.
operation from patrons. urge
every country teacher and trustee in
South Carolina to ask himself the
question, What can | do to make my
school better? Find out how you
can make it better and go to worl
with determination to improve con-
ditionS. Success will always attend
an earnest effort
During the recent session of the
Legislature bill was passed appro-
priating $4,000 for the purpose of
increasing the average length Of the
school term and to improve the eff
ciercy of the public schools in this
State. The State Superintendent of
Education. }. e. Swearingen, will
gladly send a copy Of this act, to-
gether with regulations, to any one
who will write him for same.
Every rural school should run
longer than three or four months. so
If yours doesn't run at least one
hundred days, don't fail to take ad-
vantage of this law. 1t provides that
any school whose term is less than
one hundred, days can secure 50 from
the State Superintendent of Educa-
tion for every 81 that the patrons
may raise. If any school which pays
$50 a month will raise $40, the State
will supply $40, and thus lengthen
the term by one month. OF course,
any greater amount raised by the
school will secure correspondingly
greater addition to the school term.
The State Board Of Education has
recently set aside $4,000 Of the IL
brary fund to be used by the School
itipioNtiilNhi HoSONldlloll lOI DTlZeS.
This amount was offered last year,
and ninety-one schools entered the
contest. 1t is estimated that the
$500, 900 worth Of material improve
ment resulted from this contest. If
your school did not apply last year
don't fail to make an effort to win a
prize this year. Regulations regard
ing prizes can be secured by writing

BOURBONS SEEK
PARTY HARMONY
Three Candidates for Mayoralty
Give Visions of Divided
Democracy
Mahoney and Sullivan May Be
Withdrawn in Favor of
Leland

There are plans afoot to turn dis
cord into harmony in the democratic
party of this city. If the scheme sue
ceeds the chickering's of the past will
be forgotten and the party will pre-
sent united front to the republican
opposition with Coroner I. B. W. Le-
land as standard bearer.
Three democrats have thus far been
mentioned as candidates to succeed
Mayor Taylor. Coroner Leland has
been groomed for the race by Gavin
McNab and his faithful political fol-
lowers. David l. Mahoney. the former
police commissioner, has been 1ndorsed
by the nti-McNab democrats. who are
handed together in the San Francisco
Democratic club under the leadership
of Harry Sullivan, AL McCabe, Ralph
McLeran and others.
The third democrat is the dark horse
in the running. He is none other than
Frank j. Sullivan, the attorney who, it
has been bruited. is a likely candidate
for the union labor nomination.
Fearful that the democratic party
would be hopelessly split in direct
primary fight between Leland and Ma
honey and that more havoc would be
wrought in the ranks if sullivan should
be opposed to the democratic nominee
in the general election, some of the
democratic leaders are working hard
to take Mahoney and sullivan out of
the race. Their plans look toward a
general love feast of democrats, with
no dissenting voices, when Gavin Nc
Nab proposes DR.. Leland's political
health.
Charles ]. Heggerty, who was an
anti McNab man when he took hand
in politics. has been entreated to per-
suade Mahoney to forego his mayoralty
ambition and to have a try at the nom
ination for city attorney instead.
Friends of Sullivan have been asked to
induce him TO resist the Establishments
of his union labor friends and to re-
turn TO the democratic paddock. Eff
forts are being made to bring James
H. O'Brien, erstwhile leader of the
Horses and Carts, back to the grand
stand where McNab is enthroned. Matt
Sullivan. the uncompromising disap-
proven of McNab methods, is being ap-
preached with soft, conciliating
phrases. Harry Sullivan. his nephew
and the Hotspur of the San Francisco
tie methods can tame him. Al McCabe
will be asked to listen to the strains of
harmony. Harry Flannery will be sup
plicated TO forget any grievance he
may have.
The thermometers are hard at work.
They include such stalwart bourbons as
DR.. John Gallwey. Dr. John Gallagher.
DR.. Thomas Z. Shumate, George Gal
| lagher and d. A. White. They hope to
have some pleasant surprises for Nc
Nab when he returns from Los Angeles.
