SPRING HERE
OFFICIALLY
of the company.

Spring mas came That's the an
nouncement made this morning by
Weather Observer John Grover, who
evidently thought the sunny days of
the past week had not awakened all
Walla WallanS to a full Relation of
the fact. Throughout the world to-
day, for the first time in a long while,
the days and nights are of the same
length-though this fact is not attri-
buted to the near approach of Hal
ley's comet. The sun has crossed the
equator-or is in the process of cross
ing it today-and from this time glad
some spring-time will be more or less
in evidence.
While most people were wrapped in
the embrace of Morpheus, or, as the
poets put it, pounding the pillow,
spring arrove.
Early this morn, with only the pale
stars and the milknen to greet her
the fair maiden of our Wintry dreams
hit town and took up her residence
in our midst.
Hail, gentle spring! Sweet giver of
the gifts of gods, of mushy poetry and
garden green's. All hail!
Also. King Winter is dead maybe.
At least, SO says the almanac. Sci
ence, cold and calculating, had set the
cary morn of March p for his pass
ing and the scientists are always
right.
For those perpetual grouches who
don't believe it. this clincher is
quoted from the almanac:
"On the morning of March p, the
center of the sun crosses the celes-
tial equator and spring begins SO
there,
Mr.. Grover eagerly scanned the hori-
ION this morning for some sign of the
accompanying equinoctial storm, gen
orally occurring with the advent of
spring but after a careful search an
nounced that the Walla Walla valley
would have to peg along without such
a condition of affairs-due probably
to the approach of Halley's comet.
There is still an excess of precipi
tation in the Walla Wal a valley, the
recent showers having added some
what to the already pronounced
amount of moisture in this section.
Fair weather today and tomorrow was
the forecast issued from the local sta
ton this morning, and the weather
man hoisted the white flag without
regard to the probability of the threat
ened storm arriving some time before
night fall.

Because he thought she was try

negro Liam, shot and killed Annie
Howard, a negro woman, near Flor

man had been to a "big meeting" and
was acting queerly when she came
to Davis's house, making him think
she was about to "conjure" him.
A negro woman was accidentally
shot and killed in the Kitching's
Mill section of Aiken county this

DAVIS DIES OF WOUNDS.
Fugitive Lived Until Sunday Morn
ing-Body Identified.

Orangeburg, August 2S.-The body
of negro, said to be Charles Davis
the alleged slayer Of Lucy Dwight
colored, near Bowman, about two
weeks ago, lies dead at the count.
jail here this morning, the cause o
the death being, as testified to by Dr.
T. c. Doyle, who examined the body
gun shot wounds, two of which are
seen on the body, one in the stomach
and one in the left breast. The mai
was brought here last night by
Sheriff Salley from Denmark, where
he was captured yesterday as
prisoner by Magistrate Rays consta
BILE and a posse.
He was arrested under the procla
nation of Governor Ansel as Charlie:
Davis, but had assumed, it is said
the name of Mitchell. When the
sheriff arrived at Denmark, he found
Davis, or Mitchell, so badly wounded
that he did not attempt to remove
him until advised by physician that
it was safe to do so. The wounded
negro was then placed on cot and
brought here on the Southern train
at 8 o'clock and put in the jail and
made as comfortable as circumstances
admitted, and died this morning al
$50 o'clock.
The coroner was at once notified
and a jury of inquest was organized
with ]. C. Kennerly as foreman, and
viewed the body and heard some tes'
timony. DR.. Doyle testified that death
was due to the wounds noted, and
Sheriff Salley gave short history
of the charge held against Davis and
his official connection with the prls'
oner since taking him in charge yes
terday at Denmark. Mr. Salley stated
that one Davis was wanted for muir
der and that the Governor had by his
proclamation, declared Davis a tu'
gitive from justice and offered re-
ward for his capture, and that under
this proclamation the arrest had beer
made. He knew none of the attend
ing circumstances. The sheriff salo
the prisoner had made no statement
and had not talked at all. 1t is said
however, that the negro had admitted
his identity. One or two other VIII
nesses were put up for the purpose
of identifying the body as that OF
Charles Davis, but as their testimony
was not fully satisfactory to the jury
an adjournment was taken until late
this afternoon, when others VINO
knew Davis were examined.
The body and face Of the dead ne
gro show him a typical African. Body
large, but not fleshy; raW-boned;
age so to 60.

Carlisle Fitting School Acquires Ne"
Distinction.

Head Master Guilds, of the Car
Isle Fitting School, received last
week a report of the general board
of education of the NJ. E. Church,
South, in which the Carlisle Fitting
School vas classified as Academy,
Class A." This means that the Fit
ting School, with it's new course OF
study, with it's present faculty and
equipment, is recognized by the
general board of education Of the
Methodist church as among the very
best preparatory schools of the en-
tire South. This is great, and a
we'll deserved compliment paid to a
school right here in our own town.
The friends and patrons OF the
school are much gratified; the citi-
zens of Bamberg have right to be
proud of the position our school is
taking among similar institutions of
the country.
Now the point we want to drive
home is this: Do the people
of Bamberg county, and OF
this section of the State, realize
that we have a school right here in
our midst doing such a work as this?
Do they realize that they can put
their sons and daughters right here
in school, have them thoroughly
trained, living under the most whole
some influences, and for less money
than at any school of like standing
in the State? These are things our
people should know and think about.
We appreciate the fact that there are
a good many fakes in the educa-
tional world, that people have been
''humbugged' a great deal in this
respect, but here is school backed
by the board of trustees of Wofford
College and by some of the best citl-
zens of our own section. Nothing
else need be said in this connection.
Next year study hall, presided
over by one of the teachers, will be
conducted. Here all boarding STU
dents who do not apply themselves
when allowed to work in their rooms,
and any local pupils whose parents
may so desire, will observe regular
study periods afternoon and night.
This will mean great deal to the
student who is backward or negll-
gent.
If you haven't a catalogue write
for one and secure place for your
son or daughter in one Of the dor
mitories. Next session begins Sep
tember 21st.

Lilly Sue Brabham.
Gently the casket was lowered
One last look, twas done;
Heavens gates of gold were opened
And in them entered one"

Sunday afternoon, August the
twenty eighth, nineteen ten, at five
o'clock at the family cemetery in the
Kearse neighborhood the remains of
little Lilly Sue, eldest daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. Manning Brabham,
were tenderly placed away. The son
of righteousness, with healing In his
wings, had stopped by the couch of
this little one just after midnight
and took again to heaven the little
soul that had for seven years been
loaned to give sunshine, JOY and COM
fort to her parents and many others
who loved her. 1t seemed hard for
them to give her up, yet how COM
forting to know that this change had
no bitter sting in store for her. All
purity, never having known a sin,
there must have been rejoicing among
the host that cannot be numbered
when the little soul so pure entered
into companionship with them. She
was in bed ten days, Typhoid fever in
it's worst form was what she suffered.
III, very i'll from the first day, there
was little hope for her, though at
every minute night and day all that
human hands could do, was done.
God wanted her to help make up
his jewels, so why should we have
tried so hard to keep her here. The
services were beautifully conducted
by Rev. D. B. Groseclose, the Lutheran
paster from Ehrhardt, and the little
grave was heaped high with flowers
emblematic of the life just gone out.

WOMEN SMOKE IN LONDON.
Amused at Criticism of Mrs. Nick
Longworth's Habit.

A London special to the New York
Sun, says that English women have
been amused to learn that several So
cieties in America have requested
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth to give up
smoking on account of the bad
example she sets American woman
hood" Smoking among women in
England is so ordinary a habit that
it is difficult for English women to
take seriously the American preju-
dice against it.
OF late years cigarette smoking has
increased enormously among women
in London, this being attributed by
many to the number of women's
clubs which have come into existence
and in which cigarettes are served
with tea or sold whenever desired.
Strong Turkish and Russian clga-
rettes are exceedingly popular, while
Virginians and Egyptians also enjoy
a great vogue. Tiny cigars are Of
ten seen, and the little japanese pipe
recently imported is coming into ia
yor. According to London clga-
rette dealer the only cigarette
that does not sell we'll nova
davs is the one which was originally
manufactured for women-a small,
slender, mild, slightly perfumed
variety.
There appears to be no age limit
among women smokers in England.
One sees gray haired mothers of fam
lilies smoking in restaurants, where
no head waiter has right to ask
them to stop, as in America. one
also sees rosy checked young girls
smoking with their tea after game
Of tennis.
The idea of expressing disapproval
TO the practice among women con-
spicuous socially or otherwise on the
ground that they are setting bad
example seems never to have occur
red to the British public. To be
sure, a few days ago an effort was
made by one or two critics to use
against Mrs. Asquith, wife OF the
Prime Minister, the fact that she had
heen seen smoking in a music hall,
but ENGLAND, as whole, only smiled
;ndn]eentlv at her unconventionality.
Recently at an open air perform
ance of a Shakespearean masque
given by Lord Sackville's place, Knot
Park. Lady Mond, wife of a promi-
nent member of parliament, smoked
diligently all afternoon and no one IN
the distinguished audience present
ever glanced curiously at her. Prln-
cess Patricia of Connaught, ia
vorite of the British public, enjoys
an Egyptian cigarette after tea regu-
larlv while Lady strachey, a we'll
known suffrage movement, smokes
constantly without causing any COM
ment among her friends or enemies.
There are only four among the
hundreds of English women high in
the social life of the country VINO
would he amazed should they receive
petitions to give up smoking lest
they should set a bad example TO
English womanhood.
