i was an ideal one. The stage was
beautifully decorated and upon it
sat the teachers and the pupils of
the 10th and 18th grades, the min
listers of the town and the school
trustees. Just before the services
began, the school in a body marched
in, each grade headed by the teach
er, and it was most interesting to
note the bright and animated faces
of the boys and girls. DIR. Snyder,
of Wofford colleg had been invited
to be present, and his remarks were
more on the order of an address
coming from a layman, as he ex-
pressed it. His. general theme was
the development of the mind, ma
terially, morally ana socially. DR..
Snyder is a very scholarly speaker,
and was listened to by an apprecia-
tive audience. Following is the or

Not a Candidate.

Many very kinds friends-some by
letter, others in person-have recently
urged the editor of The Advertiser to
b ecome a candidate for the House of
Representatives, and while we greatly
appreciate these manifestations OF es-
TEEN and confidence, to all of them we
have said, 'iJo." Although a lauda-
BILE ambition in others, nothing would
be more distasteful to the writer than
a scramble for public Office. We in
fnitely prefer to pass our days pursu-
ing the even tenor of our way in the
private walks of life. Therefore, let
it be known once for al that the editor
of The Advertiser is not seeking, nor
would he accept, legislative honors.

The Trustees
In point of service the oldest
member of the board of trustees is
MI. q. B. Buell.. He was elected
at the Charleston convention in
1896, and has served continually
since. In 1900 he was selected
president of the board and has
served continuously since. In a per-
iod Of fourteen years the records
show that he has been absent from
only one board meeting. During
twelve years he has not been alb
sent once.
sCoI. Jos. n. Brown has served
continuously as a member of the
board since 1897, having been elect
ed at the Rock Hill convention that
year. Col. w. Hunt was elected in
1899 at the Darlington convention
and has been regularly reelected at
every three-year period.
Five members of the board have
served during my term of Office
without a break and some of them
have not missed a meeting during
this ten-year period. They are

on the subject: rs the B. Y. p. U.
worth while" He showed that with
out the spiritual and devotional
features, it was not, but with these
allied with the great layman's move
ments, it was doing and would &C
complish a grand work.
An excellent paper prepared-by
Mrs. L. B. White on the relation
of the B. Y. P..U. to the church"
was read by Miss Martha Dorm. The
next paper: Benefits to our young

Found Liquor on Farm.

Clio, August 2S.-A deputy sheriff
yesterday raided the premises of j.
W. Jackson, a well-to-do farmer, liv-
ing about four miles from here, and
seized several gallons Of whiskey and
25 or 80 gallons of wine and cider
Jackson was not at home at the time
of the raid and has not been seen
since.
The raid was made when John Sci
lers, a negro arrested on the charge
of violating the liquor law, failed to
put in an appearance for trial. Jack
son had furnished bond for the ne
gro.
For some time liquor had been
coming into Clio and finding no claim.

addressed to John Sellers. The IL
quor was seized and Sellers arrested
Jackson put up bond for him. His
trial was set for Monday. 1t was

NEGRO DESPERATE KILLED.
Defied Arrest and is Shot to Death
by Officers.

Anderson, August 27.-Tom Lev
erett, who bears the reputation of be-
ing the worst negro in Anderson
county, especially when drinking, was
shot and instantly killed by Chief of
Police Murphy and Patrolman Shir-
ley this afternoon when they at
tempted to arrest him for drinking
and creating a disturbance.
The officers, in response to a police
call, went to Ounce Leverett's black
smith shop and found that Tom Lev
erett had secreted himself, we'll
armed, in a closet on the second floor
of the shop The officers several
times called upon him to surrender.
Leverett refused and said with oaths
that he expected to fire if given an
opportunity. When the door was
opened Leverett threw his pistol di-
rectly in Officer Shirley's face and
Chief Murphy and Officer Shirley
opened fire, the shots being fired
through a wooden partition. Only
Leverett's hand and his pistol were
in view.
Several shots were fired and Lev
erett was heard to fall against the
wall of the closet. One of the officers
then attempted to open the door.
Leverett was in a crouching position
with his pistol ready to fire. Other
shots were made and Leverett fell.
Death came almost instantly.
When moved to the morgue, after
being viewed by the coroner, Lever
ett's body showed that eight shots
had taken effect, three in the stom-
ach, one each in the head, hand
elbow, thigh and hip. DR.. Sanders
says that the bullet that pierced his
head is what caused death, but the
other shots would probably have
proved fatal.
Leverett had been drinking hard
since yesterday and this afternoon
before the shooting he was on the
sidewalk near where the homicide
occurred waving his pistol in the air
and cursing loudly.
He has frequently been in trou-
BILE. The last serious trouble was the
shooting of his wife and for this act
there is an Indictment now in the
court of sessions. His reputation is
of the worst.

Blood Flows After Dance.

Mariana, Ark, August 2S.-Two
negroes were killed, three wounded
and a white man was fatally injured
in a fight resulting from dance hall
quarrel at Raggio, - miles east of
here, last night. The battle occur
red about l o'clock this morning.
News of the battle was brought at
daybreak this morning by a negro
who came to purchase cofflns. The
dead men are Mack Harvey and Hen
ry Cox. Two wounded negroes are Eli
Davis, Pleas Bailey and Dault March
banks. John Russell, white man,
is said to be dying.
According to the story brought oy
the negro, a dance was in progress IN
the place when an alteration arose
between Mack Harvey and his wife.
Russell, the white man, ordered them
to cease. Harvey turned on the white
man and declared he would talk to
his wife any way he pleased. Russell
left and returned shortly with two
other white men. In the meantime
Harvey secured friends and awaited
the return of the white men. The
negro message bearer was too fright
eaed to give a coherent story of the
shooting which followed.
Sheriff Ford returned to Marlanna
late to-day and reported the arrest OF
half a dozen negroes. He said the
men whom Russell secured to aid him
were deputy constables and that the
shooting was precipitated when Har-
vey refused to be placed under ar
rest.
More than fifty shots were ex-
changed.

Georgia Northern Railroad freight
train, and four negro lahorers on a
log train belonging to the firm of
Corbett & Taylor, of Bridgeboro,
were killed early tonight in head
on collision at Pecan City, seven

Two other negroes were seriously

Thirty laborers had been cutting

which was moving towards Albany.
When the freight running twenty
five miles an hour, struck the switch

engines coming together, head-on.
Engineer Pope and his negro fireman

landed and fell under his train. His
head was completely severed from
his body.
