Rev. o. j. Frier.

In writing of Rev. o. ]. Frier In
the Baptist Courier, Rev. J. Earle
Freeman says:
eve have just closed very prec-
ious meeting of six days duration in
which we had with us Rev. o. j..
Frier, of Bamberg. His preaching
was clear and forceful, and he Sue
ceeded in winning the ears and hearts
of our people, and then left them
much edited. This wide-awake pas
tor and forceful preacher, given to us
by Florida, is worthy of being better
known by South Carolina people, and
! commend him to any pastor who
is looking for a man who will leave
him and his church stronger than
he found them

Sign Your Name.

Correspondents should sign their
names when they send in news let
ters for publication. Every few
weeks we publish the fact that we
do not print anonymous communica-
tions, and yet it seems that people do
not read these notices or forget very
easily. A few days ago we received
a news letter from Spring Branch
signed &C. NJ. w." Of course we do
not know who wrote it and therefore
it is not published. We do not care
for the name in order to publish it,
but we must know the real name OF
the author for our own protection.
If &C. NJ. W." will write again and
sign his or her real name, we will
be glad to use such of the news as
suits our purpose.

Refuses to Eat or Drink.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug. 81
Determined, he says, to cheat term
6 imprisonment, Charles Hopper, Of
Chicago, who on Saturday night mur-
dered Daisy Watts, better known as
Grace Lyons, of Chicago, by throw
ing her of steamer into Lake
Michigan, has absolutely refused to
touch food or drink offered to him in
his cell in the county jail at Grand
Haven.
The tragedy is one of the few mur-
ders committed on government in
land water in several years, and the
charge of murder will be placed
against Hopper in the Grand Rapids
federal court. Hopper, in con-
fession made in the Ho1la, jail be-
fore being taken to Graz 4aven, de-
clared he committed the CRIME to pre-
vent the woman from returning to
the life of the underworld, which
he says she was leading when he
found her.
Hopper says he first met the wo-
man about three years ago In a
State street apartment house in Chi
cago and fell in love with her, but
she refused to marry him. Six
months ago, he says, he met her In
a Halstead street dive. According
to his story she accepted his offer OF
marriage and they lived together un-
til recently. Sunday she disappeared
and he traced her to the same place,
where she was found smoking opium
with ten Chinese. She left the place
with him, but they quarreled soon
afterward, and on Saturday she left
He traced her to the boat and board
ed it. Another scene resulted and
the crime was committed.
tT am glad I did II" said Hopper,
concluding his confession. "Now I
know where she is. Those Chinese
devils can never get their clutches
on her again."

Bees Took Church.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-A swarm OF
honey bees held at bay the pastor
and congregation of the German
Lutheran church of Gross, a suburb,
yesterday and they were compelled
to hold services on the lawn in front
of the church.
The Rev. Ambrose Goetheils was
the man who discovered the swarm
of bees. He arrived at the church
early and unlocked the front door.
But he did not step inside. -,
AS he pulled open the door, a bee
darted at him. He paused. Another
bee charged and then another. With
in there arose a hum, the battle cry
of the swarm. He turned and fed.
Members Of the congregation saw
their pastor in the middle Of the
walk as they approached.
"There's a swarm of bees on the
inside of the front door," he explain
ed. "We1l have to drive them out" "
Volunteers to make war on the
bees were called for, but no one
seemed eager for the task.
Finally the pastor suggested that
it was fine, warm day and that the
services be held outdoors. The sug-
gestion was agreeable and the con-
gregation sat on the lawn while the
minister preached.

White Girl Sent to Rock Pile.

Bessie Smith, about 20 years old,
who was convicted on Saturday of
keeping a disorderly house and SEN
fenced to pay fine of 500 or serve
thirty days, was clad in stripes yes
terday and sent to work on the rock
pile. She is the first white woman
convict ever sent to the rock pile.
Bessie was not at all discounted
by her shame. Last night, after a
hard days work at the quarry, she
laughingly remarked upon her re-
turn to the guard house that she
was mighty tired, but would feel
better after a bath.
The circumstances of her case
permit of scant sympathy for the
woman. - Tuesdays Spartanbure

oRANeewooo ExTENsIoN-The

traffic yesterday on the OrangewooG extension of the street car line must have been gratifying to the railway management. All afternoon every car
 was crowded going and coming and
 the open fields at the present end of the line were dotted with townspeople who were enjoying the sunshine and picking wild flowers. The weather could not have been more delightful and the ride to the open is through miles and miles of green fields dotted with pretty homes in surroundings that indicate prosperity. It only costs dime each way which of course cheapens things a lot and many Phoe- nix people have paid a dollar for less enjoyable excursions. Had the price been a dollar yesterday the company would not have had cars enough to carry the crowd. The fact that the car line will always be there, no doubt deters many from taking a pleasure ride now, but while it will aiwavs h" a nice ride the surrounding country and the weather will never be more delightful than at this season.

SATURDAYS CLEANUP

cleaning up forces of the city were hard at their work all day Saturday and much was done toward putting the city in order. Much was under taken also that has not been finished but doubtless will be today and to- morrow. Many lots but half cleaned were in evidence yesterday and today the hauling of the rubbish will be un- dertaken in earnest. The inspectors of the women's organizations which is in charge have not yet had an op- portunity to look over the work and report their findings of the commit tees before they have been filed and accepted. As yesterday was not working day in defcrence to the wO- men The Republican will wait their announcements but will add what will certainly be in accord with their pol icy, that all those who have not yet cleaned up should do so and those who have only undertaken a good work, should hurry and finish it.

RIGHTEOUS IN0IeNATIoN-The

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION-The other evening a gentleman stepped into The Republican office 70 request that a lecture be read to whoever is respon- sible for the smoking of cigarettes by the little boys who haunt the streets. some of them hardly old enough to wear trousers and many of them who have fairly started in their teens. There is probably no well ordered per son who does not feel about the mat ter just as the man does who called at The Republican office, but r. is very hard to suggest anything that can be done about it except to urge parents to greater watchfulness and by every pos sible way impress the children with the detrimental effects of the practice. There is a law against selling cigarettes to minors and so far as The Repubii- can is apprised it is not being violated. But the offenders are most given to the use of the little brown paper hand made coffin nails that the chil- dren manufacture for themselves when ever they can get their deft fingers in to a tobacco sack they chance to find open. No parent or mature person wants an immature child to use tobacco

 END OF A JOY RlDE-I.ike so many joy rides, a little motorcycle ex- cursion taken by four Phoenix boys Saturday night wound up in jail The boys had only one motorcycle and as there were four of them they needed two machines. The extra auto-bike was found in front of The Republican office, Ed Powell being the owner thereof. When Ed missed his beloved Excelsior he reported his loss to the po- lice. with the result that last evening the kids were rounded up. They con- fessed that the motorcycle was in a ditch near Alhambra. where it had been rendered hors de combat by an irriga- ton ditch. The boys who were riding it turned out for buggy, ran into the ditch and the joy ride stopped right there. One kid lost about all his cuti- cle and the machine came out with pair of busted handle bars. As it wouldn't go any more it was left right there. but yesterday it was found by a rancher named Davis, who put it in a more secluded place. The boys were turned loose last night upon their promise to be at the police station this at 10 o'clock.
