In the Senate this week in the discus
sion of the railroad bill the insurgents
have been trying hard TO pass an amend
ment providing that the railroads shall
not charge more for short haul than for
a long haul. Why kick about this particu-
lar injustice ? The manufacturers sell
goods of every sort cheaper in Europe
than they do in this country because ofthe
Aldrich tariff law-why deprive the poor
railroads of similar opportunities to rob

Negro Killed by Falling House.

Williston, June 3.-This section
was visited last night by very high
wind storm which blew down trees
and did other damage. Just below
Elko it blew down the barns of S. B.
Hair, killing a very fine horse and
probably fatally injuring another,
besides doing damage to other live
stock, and farm products that were
in the building.
At Powell's mill, about five miles
south, the wind blew down a tenant
house, killing a negro man in it and
severely injuring another negro.
A short distance from this scene of
death the lightning struck the house
of another negro, setting it afire. The
negro escaped unharmed but fed with
all haste, declaring that the comet
had fallen and struct his yard. So
fully was he convinced of the near
ness of the end of the world that he
could not be persuaded to return to
his burning house to save any of his
property from the flames.

Mormon Elders Arrested.

Gaffney, June 2.-On May 16 two
men known as Mormon elders came
to Gaffney and commenced to dis
seminate their doctrine in the Lime
stone mill village. When Mr.. Cash,
the superintendent of the plant,
learned Of their operations, he no
titled them, through Mr.. Rodgers, one
of his foremen, that they must get
off and stay off.
Last Saturday MI. Cash found that
they were still in the village, and at
once went before Magistrate Phillips
and had him issue a warrant for the
arrest of both men. They promptly
gave bond after their arrest, and the
case was tried by jury yesterday.
The prosecution proved the case, as
outlined above, and the defendants
put up no testimony. The defendants
counsel contended that there was no
evidence that the defendants had
ever left the premises after being
warned, and that therefore there was
no entry after notice. After de-
liberating about Is minutes the jury
returned a verdict of mot guilty. y
When seen after the trial the defend
ants said they had no desire to vlo-
late the laws and that they would
not again go upon the premises.

"He was duly engaged and gave
satisfaction. One day his master
came to him telling him to look sharp
and go for doctor as his mistress
was i'll. Pat was gone for long
time, and on his master grumbling at
him for his delay he said: Sure,
they're all here, sorr.'
"'All here?' said the master. What
do you mean?'
"'Didn't you tell me to do things
by combination?'
What's that got to do with it?'
said the master.

The Horses Prayer.

Pathetic and ironical as it may
seem, the horse looks up to man as
his god. In the Swedish they have a
Prayer of the Horse" addressed to
his human lord and master, which in
sum is as follows:
80 lord, my master, I thank and
adore you for the kind word you
spoke to me long ago, and 1 strive in
the hope that you will pet me once in
while. If I can not understand
what you wish me to do, please be pa
tient and show me. Don't beat me or
jerk on The reins, but look and see if
something isn't wrong with the har-
ness.
"I beg of you not to whip me going
up hill, nor give me loads heavier
than I can pull. Keep me shod so
that I can get a foothold, and don't
let the farrier cripple my feet. If 1
am sick or have an liberated tooth,
go easy with me for day, as I am
beside myself with pain.
ooh, grant me cool, clean water in
the hot weather, and let me not eat
my fodder dry.
FINALLY, when my strength is
gone, and I can not any more work
for you enough to be worth my keep,
1 beseech of you, don't let me be
sold to drag a vender's cart, but take
my life in the quickest and easiest
way, and God will reward you in this
life and in heaven. Amen. New

BONE IN THROAT KILLS.
Negro Man at Batesburg Dies in a
Peculiar Manner.

At Batesburg Wade Brooks, a ne
gro man, who lived on Mr.. n. A.
Bates's place, died Wednesday under
peculiar circumstances. About ten
DAYS ago Wade was eating a piece of
Guinea fowl, and in some way he got
4 piece of bone crosswise in his
throat. There it remained for day
or two, when a doctor was sum-
moned. The doctor, it is said, took
an instrument and pushed the bone
down. Instead of relieving the negro
it made matters worse. The bone
was lodged further down and the
man died Wednesday.

DISTRICT SUMNER SCHOOL.

DlSlflCI SUMN1Eh SCdOOL.
Office of County Superintendent of
Education, Bamberg County, May
18th, 1910.
The Aiken-Bamb berg-Barnwell Dis
trict summer school for white teach
ers will be held at Aiken, S. c., be-
ginning June 13, 1910, at IL M, and
closing July 8, 1910. The County
Board of Education requests all
teachers who expect to teach in th<
three counties to attend this school.
All teachers are also urged to enter
at the opening of the school, attend
regularly, and stand the examinations
at the close or the school. The re-
newal of certificates is forbidden by
law unless the holder of the certifi-
cate attends summer school for
teachers. All teachers who fail to
attend the summer school will have
an opportunity to stand the fall ex-
animation. But the board recon-
mends that the teachers attend the
summer school because many schools
will open before the fall examination,
and no teacher is allowed to begin
teaching until her certificate is reg
istered with the County Superintend-
ent of Education. The failure to at
tend the summer school or to stand
the examination will place the re-
newal of the certificates in the hands
of the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation.
The course of study will be Eng
lish, Grammar, Pedagogy, Algebra,
Arithmetic, History, Civics, and Ply
siology-Civics and Physiology to
alternate-tWo weeks each-and Pri-
mary Methods. In order to establish
standard and in order to make the
work Of the school more beneficial,
the County Boards Of the three coun-
ties jointly and unanimously passed
the following resolution:
Resolved, that no certificate in the
counties of this district shall be re-
newed save upon the presentation Of
certificate from the principal of the
school that the holder of certificate
has completed successfully, includ-
ing the examinations and lectures,
three regular courses offered in the
school,"
In addition to the regular course
as outlined above, there has been ar
ranged for the white school series
of lectures TO be given by some of the
leading educators and professional
men of the State. This series of lee
lures alone will be invalua BILE to the
teachers There will be about twelve
lectures in the course, and special
efforts have been made to make it the
most distinct feature of the school.
There will be district school for
the negro teachers of Aiken-Bamberg-
Barnwell counties at Barnwell, S. c.,
beginning June 13, and ending July
9Th. The course of study will be:
English Grammar, Pedagogy, Geog-
raphy, History, Arithmetic, and Civics
and Physiology-Civics and Physi-
ology to alternate-tWO weeks each.
The conditions for attendance and
renewal of certificates for the negro
teachers will be the same as those
given above for the white teachers.
| Teachers will note that the text
books to be used will be the regularly
adopted text books of the State save
in the work in Pedagogy. The text
in that class will ''Thorndyke's s
