PASSENGER WON'T LEAVE CAR.
Nice Little Question for the s. p, L..

Nice Little Question for the s. p, L.
A., & S. L. to Solve.
Salt Lake City, Jan. 31.-Oficials
of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake railroad are at a loss to
krow how to dispose of J. E. Hines,
a passenger on one Of their Pull
mans, who refuses to leave the car.
Hines, who had paid for a berth
in that particular car from Joplin,
Mo-, to San Francisco via Las Vegas
and Los Angeles, refused to leave
when he was told at Ogden that pass
engers would be transferred to the
Southern Pacific on account of a
wsshout on the San Pedro line.
The Pullman was hauled to Salt
Lake City and still Hines remained
in the car. He takes his meals out,
but he reads, smokes and sleeps as
a guest of the Pullman Company,
and says he is perfectly willing to
pass the summer here if it takes
that long to restore traffic to San
Francisco via Eas Vegas and Los
Angeles.

GOVERNMENT WINS TEST CASE
Jury COnvicts Texas & Pacific Rail.
road on Five Counts.


New Orleans, Jan. 30.-The gov
ernment won sweeping victory to-
day in novel test case of the in
terstate commerce act when a jury
in the federal district court return
ed a verdict of guilty against the
Texas & Pacific railroad on two in
dictments, embracing five counts.
The charges against the railroad
were that in the guise of storage
charges freight rates in excess of
those approved by the interstate
commerce commission were charged
on grain shipments from Missouri
and Arkansas points to New Orleans.
The penalty which the court may
impose ranges from $1,000 to $780,
600 on each count.
It is stated that the railroad will
be called upon to pay back all such
excess charges collected, amounting,
according to the government agents,
to thousands of dollars.
Assistant District Attorney Wau-
gespeck, who conducted the prose-
cution, expressed the belief that an
investigation would disclose, the op-
Grafton in other parts of the country
of similar schemes on the part of
the railroads to collect freight rates
in excess of those laid down in the
tariff schedule.

Will Attempt Flight Again.

Key West, Fla, Jan. 31.-J. A. D.
McCurdy intends to make another ef-
fort to conquer the Florida straits
with his aeroplane by a flight from
Key West to Habana, according to
a member of the crew of the torpedo
boat which rescued him after he fell
into the sea after his attempt to reach
Habana yesterday. The aviator will
not attempt a flight from Habana to
Key West, however, it is said, giving
his reason that Key West has no
background to aid him in fixing a
course, while the Cuban mountains
can be seen while miles at sea.
The torpedo boat destroyers Terry,
Roe and Drayton returned from Ha-
bana this afternoon. A committee OF
Key West citizens has been appoint
ed to raise funds to purchase low
ing cup to be presented to McCurdy.

Carlisle Fitting School.

Tuesday, January 81, closed the
first session of the school year 1910
1911 at the Carlisle Fitting School.
1t has been a most successful ses-
sion, and the authorities are much
pleased with the new beginning. To
date sixty-two students, represent
ing twelve counties, have been en-
rolled. While the school hasn't that
many in attendance at the present
time, and has not had them at any
one time, the dormitories are COM
fortably filed.
From the standpoint of work the
session has been most satisfactory,
the work done being considerably
above the average and doubtless TAX
ing place as among the best work in
the history of the school. The stu
dents generally have taken hold of
their work with determination and
patience.
A room in the main building has
been equipped, at considerable ex-
pense, and is being used as a study
hall. Here the students gather, un-
der the supervision and direction of
one of the teachers, in the afternoon
and evening and prepare their work
for the following day. Those stu
dents who meet certain requirements
in scholarship and department are
excused from the study hall and
observe the hours in their rooms.
The study hall is a new feature and
it is calculated that much good will
come as result of it.
Plans for next year are already
being made and the outlook, is
bright. The faculty will be en-
larged, the course of study will be
revised and strengthened, and many
things looking toward the general
betterment of the school will be un-
dertaken. AS soon as the public be-
comes fully aware of the fact that
the school stands for thorough, hon
est work and the highest ideals in
character, the present dormitories
will not accommodate the students.

SHOT AND KILLED.
Will Nance is Dead and His Slayer
Has Surrendered Himself.

Conway, Jan. 30.-As result Of
a fight between Will Nance and
Dempsey Potter, two young white
men Of Little river, Saturday night
at a party, the former lies dead, hav-
ing been shot and almost Instantly
killed by the latter.
The scene of the killing is about
80 miles from Conway but it is learn
ed here to-day that Potter has sur
rendered to a magistrates consta-
BILE at Little River and is being
brought to the county jail for con-
finement.
Mr.. Nance was fisherman at Lit
tie River, but lived near Lockwood

Mr.. Potter is a native of Newberne,
N. c., but has been with the Ham

were under the influence Of whiskey
Saturday afternoon at Little River
and at the store of H. N. Gore & Co.

gro boy. The boy was spirited away
from them, and in this enraged state
of mind, the young men went to the
home of Mrs. VIM. Thomas, q widow
lady living about two miles away,
where party was in progress. Mr..
Potter with his wife who is daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Thomas, were at the par
ty, and when the Messrs. Nance came
in they were cursing and became very
boisterous. Being in the house and
in the presence of several ladies, Mr..
Potter told them that if they couldn't
refrain from such conduct they
would have to leave the house. Will
Nance became even more pronounced
in his language and with an open
knife started on Mr.. Potter who fired
twice with his pistol, both balls TAX
ing effect. Nance fell on the floor
and expired within few minutes.

FIRE TUESDAY MORNING.
Colored Graded School Building De-
stroyed by Fire.

Tuesday morning about eleven
o'clock the colored graded school
building i nthis city was totally de-
stroyed by fire. The shingles on the
roof were old and rotten and the pine
trees near caused straw to lodge on
the roof, which made it very easy to
set the building on fire from sparks.
The fire originated in this way,
sparks from the stove falling on the
roof. The building has caught on
fire from this source several times
recently. School was in session at
the time, but the flames had gained
such headway when discovered that
the building could not be saved, and
all efforts were devoted to removing
the desks, the organ, and other
school furniture Most of the furn-
ishings were saved, but some of the
desks were fastened to the floor and
could not be gotten out.
There was insurance of $1,000 on
the building, but this will not near
cover the loss. The building was an
historic one, being the first Baptist
church built in Bamberg. 1t was
built in 1875 while Mr.. j. s. Buist
was pastor. The lumber in it was
of the best, as many members of
the church hauled their own timber
to the mill and had it cut into lum-
Der to build the church. It was
used as a church for many years,
until the Baptists built their pres
ent brick church on Railroad Ave
nue.. When the Carlisle Fitting
School was founded the building
was used for a school, being known
as the Bamberg Classical Institute.
Later it was bought by the trustees
of the public school, the former pub
lie school building and land being
given to the Fitting School. 1t was
used as public school for the
whites until the brick building was
erected on lower Main street, when
it was turned over to the colored
people for graded school.
The insurance will not near cover
the loss, but the sub-trustees of the
school hope to erect a larger and
more commodious building during
the summer and have it ready for
the opening of school this fall, and
it is hoped some plan will be formu-
latd which will enable them to do
so. At present school is being held
in the old colored school building,
the one used by the colored people
before they moved to the building
which was burned.
The fire is a severe blow not only
to the colored people but to the
school district, as it will be remem-
bered that the white graded school
building was burned only few years
ago, entailing heavy loss.

Greetings to the Veterans.

The following paper was reaQ Dy
Mrs. w. P. Jones at the celebration
of Lees birthday by the U. D. c..
chapter here, this being the greeting
to the veterans by the chapter:
How fitting it is, what sacred
privilege is given us to meet here this
afternoon to honor and revere the
memory of one of the bravest, most
i'll 'strious men this country has
ever produced-Robert E. Lee. But
to him and all the hosts of our. SOL
dier boys who have answered to the
call of the Great Beyond and have
fallen into that last long sleep which
the roar of cannon and the echo of
the battle song can no longer dis
turb, we can only write of their
deeds of valor and erect monuments
to perpetuate their memory. But to
you-our loved veterans who are
left to US from the fast thinning
ranks-we want to do more. We
want to tell you that we feel hon
ored in having you who went forth
at the sound of the bugle call and
beat of the drum to fight for honor
and country. Leaving wife, mother,
children and loved ones alone and
unprotected, tortured in mind as to
their welfare, suffering hunger, cold
and many privations, facing death
at every hour and seeing loved COM
rades fall hourly at your side, still
you did not swerve from your duty.
But, committing your lives and cause
to the God Of battles, you staked all
but honor for the right.
To the women of the South has
been given the sacred duty of keep
ing alive the memories of the men
who gave up their all to answer to
the call of their country, to perpetu-
ate their deeds Of valor and to pre-
serve historic spots for the benefit of
coming generations. To them also it
is sweet and grand privilege to
stand face to face with those who
are the connecting links between the
glorious past and the present
who survived those days of horror
and nights of terror, and we feel
that our most precious service should
be given to the living.
"Can storied urn or animated bust,
Back to it's mansions bring the fleet
ing breath?"
So to you, our honored guests, we
extend our heartiest welcome, sin
cere love and undying reverence.
This, the first of our meetings in your
honor, it is hoped will prove to be
but the beginning of many happy re-
unions, and may we every one be
spared to fill our places at our meet
ing this time next year! And when
the last roll call shall come to each
of you-Oh, Father, may it be long
in coming!-and you look into the
faces of your comrades who have
gone on before, you may at last re-
alize that right must and will pre-
vail, and that now the warfare of
life is over, the victory won, and the
God of peace reigns over all.

DANDRUFF, FALLING
HAIR STOPPED
Harmless, Old-Fashioned Rem
edy Brings Back Color to Gray
Hair and Makes It Grow.

How many old-fashioned remedies are
being used, which goes to show that it
is hard to improve some of our grand
mothers old-time, tried remedies. For in
stance, for keeping the hair dark, soft and
glossy nothing equals our grandmothers'
sage tea" Although, by the addition of
sulphur and other ingredients, this old
fashioned brew has been made more eff
fective as a scalp tonic and color re-
storer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes out or
gets faded or gray, instead of going to
the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the ''tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.
Druggists are authorized to sell it
under guarantee that the money will be
refunded If It fails to do exactly as rep
| resented.
This preparation is offered to the
] public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.
