SCHOOL BARS CHILD WIFE.
II Like My Teacher" Pleads Little
Mrs. Stump, Aged IL.

"I want to go to school; I like
my teacher" pleaded little Carmelia
Altimari Stump, twelve years old,
who was denied the privilege Friday
of attending the baby grade at the
Jackson Public School in Cincinnati,
Ohio, because she is married.
Her short dress did not nearly
reach her shoe tops as she bent over
the table to show how we'll she could
write. The girl had been married
with the consent of her parents in
Kentucky to Frank Stump, nineteen
years old.
Principal O'Donnell of the Jack
son school holds that because she
is married she cannot attend school.
But the child wife wants to continue
her studies, and the matter has been
brought to the attention of the sup
erintendent OF schools.

CAUSED SMALL PANIC.
Finds His Wife With Another Man
and Row Ensues.

Frightened guests fed from a
fashionable Atlanta restaurant
Thursday night when quiet litt'.
supper party was suddenly converted
into the scene of duel with knives.
The supper party consisted of a man
and another mans wife.
The participants were two we'll
known Atlantans, A. l.. Hendricks,
a real estate man, and G. R. Burn
ham, auditor of the Southern Bell
Telephone company. The fight fol.
lowed a quarrel over Mrs. Burnham,
the husband accusing Hendricks OF
paying too much attention to his
wife.
When the fight was at its height
Mrs. Burnham rushed in between the
two men and tried to stop them. Her
sleeve and waist were cut and ripped
by the knives of the combatants.
Other guests finally interferred and
Hendricks and Burnham and his wife
were sent to police station where
charges against all three were en-
(! tered.

REFUSES TO SURRENDER.
An Old Confederate Veteran Holds
on to His Office.

Judge W. H. Kerr, Magistrate at
Greenwood, an old Confederate vet
eran, has refused to turn over the
office and the books thereof to ]. W.
Garfield, who was appointed magis-
trate for Greenwood by Gov. Blease
last Monday.
Judge Kerr is holding his office at
the court house and Mr.. Garfield has
secured an Office also and is ready for
business. Judge Kerr says he will
hold the Office until his successor has
been legally appointed.
A rather interesting fact is that
four magistrates to lose office in
Greenwood county were old Confed-
crate veterans--Judge Kerr at
Greenwood, Capt. Jas. Rogers at
Ninety Six, W. W. Purdy at Verdery
and W. P. Devlin at Bradley. The
two last lost out by reason of the
fact that the Office of judicial magis-
trate was abolished for those towns
by the last legislature, but the first
two were replaced by appointments
of Gov. Bleasc.

FARCE INSTEAD OF TRAGEDY.
Man Goes Off to End His Life, But
Writes for Help.

A. Kingstree on last Friday week,
when E. C. Burgess, manager Of the
Peoples Mercantile company, came
to his office, he found the following
note addressed to him:
Dear Mr. Carroll: Cotton futures
have doomed me again. I am cut
down with a loss of nearly thou
sand. You have helped me enough.
I can't face you asking for more
help. can't live any longer with
such circumstances staring me in the
face. This world has been nothing
but disappointment. Collect my in
surance if you hear Of my death and
pay nay debts. This seems my only
way to pay them. You will hear
of my death sooner or later, al
though it will be mystery. NJ. w.
Mcconnell"
Nothing more was heard of Nc
Connell until last Friday when he
wired Mr.. Burgess for recommen-
dation, so that he could get position
in Clinton, Iowa. Investigation has
shown that Mcconnell had done moth
ing criminal, and his reason for skip
ping is not known. He had several
notes due soon, but he would have
been given more time on them if he
had told his circumstances.
His father, Rev. S. ]. Mcconnell,
of Orrum, N. c., was wired for and
he has agreed to take over his sons
obligations.

HANDSOME ELLOREE RESIDENCE
Stack Home One of the Prettiest in
the County.

Mr.. w. F. Stack and family have
occu pied their new and handsome
resi- lence in Elloree, which is pro-
nou1ced by competent architects to
be one OF the handsomest in Or
ang sburg County. 1t is large two
story building with twelve rooms,
all Of Which is handsomely finished
and furnished. Four of the rooms
on he first floor can be thrown into
cne making a spacious hall. The
material in the building is Of the
best grade and quality and the own
er spent much time in making the
selections.
"The building Is securely con-
strrcted in every particular, resting
upon a foundation of brick. 1t Is
equipped with acetalyne light and a
water plant, and cement steps and
walks lead up to the building. The
spacious portocos, Railways and CO.
lontal columns, the skillful arrange
ments Of rooms for convenience and
comfort, the central location gives
the structure a most imposing ap-
pearance. The cost of the structure
is estimated about ten thousand dol
lars. Enough there are residences
in the county erected at greater
cost, it is doubtful if there are any
that will surpass the one in the quail
tiles above referred to.
The owner, Mr.. w. F. Stack, IS
resident of the Stack Company, a
mercantile concern; vice president
of the Bank of Elloree; connected
with other enterprises elsewhere,
and has large holdings of real estate
here ard elsewhere. Though in the
prime Of life, he is the eldest resi-
dent merchant of Elloree, having
cone here from Clarendon county
twenty-five years ago, since which
tine he has been actively engaged in
the mercantile business. In business
he is careful and conservative and
en- oys the esteem and confidence o.
his fellow townsmen and acquaint'
ance."

WILL BUY new CARS
Also NEW ENGINES FOR USE ON
1,HE SOUTHERN.
The Charleston Division Will be

Very Much Benefited by the Pro.
posed Purchases.
We learn from the News and Cour-
fer that advices have been received
in Charleston to the effect that the
Southern Railway is in tie market
for extensive purchases in equip
ment The increase in business is
assigned as the reason for this In
crease in equipment. The purchases
will include ffty-fve big locomot-
ives for both freight and passenger
service on the lines of the Southern.
It is understood that the Charles
ton division of the Southern will be
only in directly benefited by these
new purchases, and that a. majority
of the new rolling stock will be US
ed on the main lines of the road.
That. the Charleston division will re-
ceiye portion of the main line roll
ing stock now in use on the main
line, is the opinion Of many of the
railroad men in the city. The South
is at present operating very heavy
trains out of this city, notably the
Carolina Special and the Augusta
trains, and the engines now in use.
while powerful for their size, will
soon have to be replaced by heavier
type locomotives.
Fifty-fve locomotives are to be
purchased by the Southern in the
near future, as follows: Twenty
five cf the Mikado tpye, for fgreight
traffic purposes; fifteen OF the Pacl-
fic tpye, for passenger traffic, and
fifteen standard switching engines.
The locom olives will be of the heavi'
est tpye. designed for the most eff
cient and economical service. 1t is
believed that they would prove too
heavy, for the roadbed of the
Charleston division, even were the
Southern disposed to place them Oh
any other but the main line.
Char@esepytxekqetaoinshr
The Carolina Special trains OF the
Southern, operating between Charles
ton. Ohio, will be among the first
trains to be benefited by the pur-
chase of the rolling stock. Pow
erful engines of the ""1, 100" type,
now in use on the main line, will
haul the trains between Asheville
and Columbia and Columbia and
Char eston. d.
The Southern has also placed or
ders recently for new passenger
equipment, including thirty-fve first
class coaches, twenty full postal
cars, ten combination passenger and
baggage care and four dining
COACHES. This equipment will con-
sist of rolling stock of the latest de-
signs.
Orders have also been placed for
27,200 tons Of S5-pound steel rails,
which will be used in track better
ment. or this amount 22,400 tons
will be furnished by the Tennessee
Coal, 1rcn and Railway Company,
1900 by the Illinois Street Com
pany ant. 5000 tons by the Mary
land Steel Company.
Important track improvements are
to be made by the Southern in the
near future between Asheville, N. c.,
and Morristown, Tenn, part Of the
route traversed by the Carolina Spe-
cial trains on their trips between
Charleston and Cincinnati; and also
between Knoxville and Cleveland,
Tenn., by the building of eight or ten
passing tracks. The latter will
greatly increase the capacity Of these
lines.
