W. E. NILES ACCUSED
OF MISUSE OF MAILS
Former Partner of Ex-Governor Lee
of south Dakota Accused In
Federal Court.

CHICAGO, Sept. A,-William f. Niles, a
Chicago promoter, was arrested today on
charge OF using the United states mails
in a scheme t. defraud a. f. Lee. former
governor of South Dakota. The alleged

with the sale of stock in the Louisiana
Sulphur and Development company, a COR
poration which Niles is declared to have
organized.
Some months ago Ex-Governor Lee caused
the arrest Of Niles on a similar charge in
Chicago. The case was later dismissed by
the local courts and Niles retaliated with
a suit for damages for malicious prosecu,
ton. At one time Niles and Lee were
partners in business ventures.

Mrs. Nash Denies
the Statement
Did Not Say Unless Strike Was
Settled She Would Take
Hand.

L. c. Crowfoot yesterday denied for Mrs
Catherin b. Nash a statement attributed
to her regarding settlement OF the strike
Crowfoot said:
Mrs. Catherine b. Nash has requested
me to say to the newspapers that the
statement appearing in the World Herald,
to the effect that she had given notice to
Mr.. Wattles that il he did not settle the
street railway strike within forty-eight
hours she would take a hand, is false.
There is no foundation whatever for that
or any other statement in regard to her
views on the strike"

paintings to the exhibit to be held in
Carnegie hall, Pittsburg, but they
have gladly consented to divide be-
tween the two exhibits, sending some
Of their paintings to Pittsburg and
some to Columbia.
This fact will prove that the ex-
hibit at the College for Women ranks
equal to the exhibits now being held
in the largest cities, centers of art in
the United States, and only the best
work of leading artists will be shown.
Among the forms of craft work ex-
Inhibited will be hammered brass,
hammered copper, wood carving, illu-
minating, plasters in casts and
PLAQUES, bronzes, hand made jewel
ry, leather work, weaving, bead
work, embroidery, stenciling. marine
mosaic and Indian pottery from New
Mexico and Arizona.
A number Of South Carolinians
have consented to contribute to the
crafts exhibit, and Miss McClintock
will be glad if others will send speci-
mems Of their work as she wishes the
state to be represented and is anxious
to encourage southern artists.
This exhibit will be one Of the
most interesting events Of the Co.
lumbia festival week which will at
tract many visitors. By means Of IT,
music festival and art exhibit the Sis
ter arts unite and will cooperate IN
their efforts for mutual advancement.
Special railroad rates will be
given from all parts Of the state
and Columbians are preparing to
welcome hosts Of friends.

He OBEYED ORDERS.
A Recruits Rapid Rise to Title and
Power.

One day young recruit was
standing guard before the door of
the entrance of Peter the Great s
private chambers in the palace Of
St. Petersburg. He had received Or
ders to admit no one.
AS he passed slowly up and down
before the door Prince Menschi-
koff, the favorite minister Of the
car, approached and attempted to
enter. He was stopped by the re-
cruit.
The prince, who had the fullest
liberty of calling upon his master at
any time, sought to push the guard
and pass him. Yet the young man
would not move, but ordered his
highness to stand back.
"You idiot!" shouted the prince.
"Don't you know me9 You'll be
punished for this!''
The recruit smiled and said:.
every we'll, your highness, but
my orders are peremptory to let no
body pass"
The prince, exasperated at the fel-
lows impudence, struck him a blow
in the face with his riding whip.
"Strike away. your highness,' said
the soldier, "but I cannot let you
60 in.'
Peter, in the room, hearing the
noise outside, opened the door and
inquired what it meant, and the
prince told him.
/ The car appeared amused, but
said nothing at the time.
In the evening, however, he sent
for the prince and the SOLDIER AS
they both appeared Peter gave his
own cane to the soldier, saying:
"That man struck you. in the
morning. Now you must return the
blow to that fellow with my stick"
The prince was amazed. "Your
majesty" he said, "this common
soldier is to strike me?''
II make him a captain," said
Peter.
"But I'm an officer of your majes-
tvs household objected the
prince.
II make a colonel Of my lite
guards and an officer Of the house
hold," said Peter again:
"My rank, your majesty knows is
that of general" again protested
Menschikoff.
"Then I make him general, SO
that the beating you get may CONS
from man Of your rank.
The prince got a sound thrashlnS
in the presence Of the car, and the
recruit, who was next day commls-
stoned a general with a title, was the
founder of a powerful family whose
descendants are still high in the I'M
perial service Of Russia.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
Ways and Means By Which Improve
ment May Be Made.

The rural schools of South Carolina
have been greatly improved in recent
years, but there is yet an enormous
amount of work to be done, before
the schools in the country will COM
pare at all favorably with the town
and city school. 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 education it is very
important that OUR pople build up a
good system Of country schools. The
efficiency Of country school depends
largely upon the effort put forth in
a rural community by its trustees and
teachers. If they show that they are
interested and will take the leader
ship in improving their schools, they
will not fail to get cooperation
from patrons. I urge every country
teacher and trustee in South Caro-
lima to ask himself the question:
What can I do to make my school
better? Find out how you can make
it better and go to work with a de-
termination to improve conditions.
Success will always attend an earnest
effort. During the recent session of
the legislature, bill was passed ap-
propriating $4,000 for the purpose
of increasing the average length OF
the school term and to improve the
efficiency Of the public schools in this
state. The state superintendent OF
education, Mr.. J. E. Swearingen, will
gladly send a copy of this act, to-
gether with regulations to anyone
who will write him for same.
Every rural school should run long
er than three or four months, so If
yours doesn't run at least 100 days,
don't fail to take advantage of this
law. It provides that any school
whose term is less than 100 days, can
secure $500 from the state superin-
tendent Of education for every $l.OO
that the patron may raise. If any
school which pays $50 month will
raise $40, the state superintendent
will supply $40 and thus lengthen
the term by one month. Of course,
any greater amount raised by the
school will secure a correspondinsly
greater addition to the school term.
The state board of education Las
recently set aside $4,000 Of the IL
bary fund to be used by the school
Improvement association for prizes.
This amount was offered last. year
and ninety-one schools entered the
contest. It is estimated that 100000
worth of material improvement re-
suited from this contest. IF your
school did not apply last year, don't
fail 10 make an effort to win a prize
this year. Regulations regarding
prizes can be secured by wiring to

I will be glad to furnish any trus-
tees or teachers in the State with any
information I can, that will assist
them in improving the conditions Of
their schools.
