SCHOOL TEACHER A SUICIDE.
Young Man Kills Himself at the Co
lumbia Hotel in Columbia.

Columbia, Jan. 1S.-Mr. John
Hawkins, of Newberry county, who
has been teaching school in Beaufort
county, at Ridgeland, committed sui
eide yesterday at the Columbia
Hotel, where he had been stopping.
There is no doubt about Mr.. Haw-
kins having shot himself, as every
thing indicated that the deed was
premeditated. He left memoran-
dunn requesting that certain tele-
grams be sent.
Mr.. Hawkins came here to attend
themeeting of the State Teachers AS
sociation, and has been at the Co.
lumbia Hotel since. The hotel man
agement fearing that Hawkins had
been drinking, gave instructions to
the help not to buy nor to take liquor
to Hawkins's room. The trustees of
the school at Ridgeland feared that
Mr.. Hawkins had been foully dealt
with and asked for reports Of him.
Hawkins was told of these requests
for information concerning him and
requested to return to his school
work. He left no messages nor rea-
sons for killing himself, and his
school work at Ridgeland had appar-
emily been satisfactory. Hawkins has
large family connections, both in
Newberry and Lexington counties.

TEXAS COURT SUSTAINED.
Supreme Court Decides Against
Waters-Pierce Oil Company.

Washington, Jan. 18.-The su-
preme court of the United States to-
day affirmed the decree of the State
courts of Texas, imposing a fine of
$1,625,000 on the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company of St. Louis and ousting it
from the State on the charge of vio-
lating the Texas antitrust law.
The court also sustained the action
of the Texas State courts in the ap-
pointment of Robert j. Eckhardt as
receiver and thus again decided
against the company, which sought to
have sustained the action of the fed
eral court in appointing c. B. Dor
chester at the instance of the COM
pany.
The decisions in the cases were
unanimous.
One of the receivership cases came
to the court on writ of error from
the supreme judicial district court Of
Texas and the other from the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit, in both Of which
courts the decisions were favorable to
the State. Robert J. Eckhardt was ap-
pointed receiver by the Travis county
State court on the theory that such
appointment was necessary to pre-
serve the property of the company
until the penalty imposed could be
collected.
Justice Day, in the decision, said
that the fine imposed was not exces-
sive, saying that the business done in
Texas by the company was very ex-
tensive and highly profitable, the
property amounting to more than
s40,000,000, and it's dividends as
high as 700 per cent. per annum.
Assuming" he said, that the de-
fendant was guilty of violation of
the laws over period of years and
in transacting business upon so large
a scale we are not prepared to say
that there was want of due process of
law in the penalties imposed"
The action was begun in the State
courts under the State antitrust
laws. The bills charged that the
company had violated the States laws
every day through conspiracy with
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey to control the oil business in
Texas, but the company denied the
charge and in addition contended
that even if it had violated the law it
was not amenable, because the busi-
ness transacted was of an interstate
character and therefore only subject
to control by the United States au-
thorities. The penalty was at the
rate of $50 per day from that time
on.

THE ART OF SPEED.

Few of the Notwithstanding improve
ments and developments in London would
surprise a man who had been "far from the
madding crowd" for half a score years more
than the revolution III underground travel
ling. Gone are the days of ~loisurely trains
III an atmosphere that severely tested ones
power of resisting sutfocation. Electric
trains aud electric signalling iuaugurated
a new era, and in the last year or two the
Londoner haslearned to appreciate the possl-
bllities IN underground travel that he never
suspected til scientific time-savin8 became
the art it now is. There is a merry hustlln8
on our journeys below the surface from be-
ginning to end, and we enjoy it. The
Hampsteadss"tube' has established the latest
record-forty-one trains every hour, or a
train every eighty eight seconds. or course,
it's net done without the most carefully
planned organization. Suppose we save
Oue-thou5andth Of a second per passenger,
said the superintendent Of the line a day or "
ago, "by repeating the name OF the station
so that the passenger, instead OF peerlng
about, can move ut once, isn't that worth
whiIe?" And minute fractions Of time are
studied in a way that gives us u service free
from the waste OF Il moment. Elaborate eX-
PorIments have demonstrated the safest and
cheapest way to speed the cars between
stations an automatic signal from APP
preaching trains tells liftmen when to
bring down waiting passengers the odvan-
tageous use of nonstop trains has been
worked out to a nicely. The same system is
being Eut in operation on the whole network
of underground lines. The Londoner IS re-
spending finely to those who are teaching him
the art Of speed he and She have discarded
the hampering, slothful ease Of old days, and

CHAMPIONS OF THE PLOUGH.

prcrrREsouE CONTEST IN a LONDON SUBURB.
There was a picturesque and instructive
spectacle of prosperous agriculture to be
seen at Ilford on Tuesday, when the local
Farmers Association held their annual
blowing match and show of produce in q
nleasant rural spot only nine miles distant
from Whitechapel Church.
A bracing day of sun and wind brought
sixty-nine ploughmen to the field.
They had 1863 horses between them, and
there we're no fewer than eleven teams OF
three. So when the sun rose and shone on
the glossy, ribboned horses, the FURNISHED
gear, and the forty-rod-long ridges of fresh
" turned loan. it was a pretty sight to see.
And the plouShmen were Of all ages, from
fourteen to seventy. Fourteen was w. q.
Brewster,a lad who is as keen rs he IS clever.
He divided a prize with another plough
man. of sixteen. Seventy was John French,
a veteran who has not lost his cunning and
he received a bushel of flour on account Of
being the oldest exponent OF the art OF
~ploughing on the field.
It was late in the day when the pIoughlng
championship was decided, SO excellent was
the work, and then an ovation was accorded
Harry Chambers, a sixty-years-o old farm
labourer, when the silver challenge cup was
handed to him.-Ibid.

Mrs. Lloyd George had an enthusiastic

After forvent singing Of Welsh hymns Mr..
Lloyd George urged his hearers although
resident in Englanl, not to reIinqulsh their
native tongue. He had been resident in
London for some sixteen years, yet Welsh
was the language frequently spoken in his
own home. His children in their early
years had been taught both tongues, and

talk both Welsh and English and was

"White Heather" is leaving for Japan ana
has a number of commissions to engage slm-

believes there are many who would gladly

But she has some sage words to say to IN,

JAPANESE MAIDSERVANTS.

There is a lady staying at the Savoy Hotel
who has had the audacity to say IL think

solution is quite a.fascinating one in every
sense of the expression. In the case of the
American lady, Mrs. Roby, who has made
the bold announcement, it takes the form of
Naka Ando, a japanese maid, nineteen years
Old, b~ecomingly clad in the clothes of her ma
tive land; for the one point, says Mrs. Roby,
on which her little domestic paragon is firm
is that she will not wear European attire.
Naka Ando is faithful, attentive, a capable
masseuse, and a good cook-in short, a treas
ure. Moreover, she has learned to speak
English well and French intelligibly. But
she is not exactly what the British mistress
Of "a house understands bya servant-girl.
She has connections of good position, and
wears ''lovely evening frocks," and the lady
whom she serves takes her to theatres and
parties. Wages are not the first considera-
