Carlisle Indian School.

Indian students from the Carlisle
Indian School are in great demand in the
East as mechanics and farmers. There
are at present zoo boys and 2I3 girls away
from the school at work. They are
scattered throughout Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, New York and Mary
| land.
The recent development, during Super
intendent Friedman's administration at
Carlisle, of the Outing System, whereby
the young men are found employment at
the mechanical trade which they have
been following while at the School, has
attracted attention throug bout the country.
The girls work in households where the
home conditions are found to be the best
and where they receive careful training in
good housekeeping and civilization. They
really become part of the family, acquire
civilized habits and customs, and exper-
fence such an industrial and mental
awakening as no school could possibly
teach them. Besides they earn wages,
half of which is saved.
Last year the Indian boys and girls at
the Carlisle School, earned $4,000 AT
present they have to their credit in the
school bank, drawing interest, $40, ooo
The Carlisle Outing System is managed
by Sioux Indian, Mrs. Nellie R. Denny,
who is graduate of the School,
Many an Indian comes to Carlisle un-
educated and without penny and after a
period of three or five years at the school,
returns to his home with practical edu-
cation and bank account of four or FIVE
hundred dollars with which to make his
start in life

Everybody agrees it was great game at
Elkton, between the team of that place and
Rising Sun, the onething wrong with it, from
the viewpoint of the fans from this section,
being that Rising Sun was defeated. 1t re-
quired thirteen red-hot innings to settle the
contest, and then Elkton managed to slip run
across the plate, the only one of the game. The
boys from the upper end of the county could
not hit Watson safely. Five lone drives in
thirteen innings ought to spell easy defeat for
any team, but it SO happens it did not in this
instance, for while Effing was banged for four
teen safe ones by Elkton they were kept so
scattered and the Sun boys were fielding so
fast that they went for nothing up to the
thirteenth inning The Elkton boys were also
going some" in the field, and to this fact is
due the small number of hits made by the
visitors Altogether it was just about the best
game seen on the Elkton grounds in many a
day. The score:

Barnwell, Feb. 21.-Jamcs Will
liams of Sumter, a young negro train
hand, was almost instantly killed at
the Atlaatic Coast Line depot here
this morning by a shifting freight en-
gine. Williams, who was new at the
work, this, it is said. having been his
first run. was attempting to couple
two freight cars together, when his
foot was struck by one of the wheels
and his body thrown under the NOV
ing car. He was horribly ma agled
the wheels passing entirely over his
body, crushing him terribly about the
stomach and legs and breaking his
jaw bone. He lived only about two
minutes after the accident. The cor
oner's jury exonerated the railroad
company and the train crew Of all re-
sponsibility for his death. Williams
body was shipped to his relatives in
Sumter on the afternoon train.

In the Police Court.

There were only three cases tried in
the Recorders Court on Wednesday,
one of these taking up the greater
part of the noon hour.
Willie Bowman plead guilty to the
charge of discharging firearms in
the city limits and was fined $40 for
the offense.
The next case up was that against
E. ID. Garner, the colored man who
bought stolen chickens from several
small white boys some time ago, for
buying stolen chickens. This case
consumed considerable time, especial
ly in waiting for the defendant to
come. Mr.. II. c. Haynsworth repre-
sented Garner in the case. 1t was
testified that the chickens were sold
to Garner about p. m. on February
18th. The attorney for the defense
asked that the case be dropped as no
evidence was shown on the part of
the State that the defendant knew
that the chickens were stolen. The
Recorder overruled the molten and
further evidence brought out by the
defense was that Garner always mad
good reputation and that he had
engaged to take the chickens prior to
the buying of them.
When all the evidence was in and
Mr.. Haynsworth had made his argu-
ment the Recorder stated that he
would dismiss the case owing to the
defendants previous good reputation,
which was testified to by the police.
Garner was warned, however, about
receiving chickens or anything else
In the future, when they were brought
to him at night without first finding
out where they came from and why
they were being sold. On this point
he was very positive. stating, "Taint
no use talking bout selin no chick
ems to me no mo-, aint go buy none" "
The case against r. b. Phillips, the
other negro who bought the chick
ems, was transferred to the magis-
trate's court.

NAVY Will Retrench.

Washington, D. c., Oct. Tit
will cost 100000 to maintain
the United States navy and provide
for suitable increase in the next ifs
cal year, according to the estimates
completed by Secretary Meyer. This
includes provision for two super
dreadnoughts, probably of about the
size of the projected Nevada and
Oklahoma, which will displace
about $4,000 tons, and a suitable
number OF auxi!iaries.
This figure marks low water in
the retrenchment policy of the ad-
ministration so far as the navy is
concerned. The estimates are the
same as the appropriations for the
current fiscal year. This years APP
preparations were s5,000,000 less
than the estimates for the preced-
ing year and these in turn were
s10,O00,00O less than the estimates
for the fiscal year 190s-1909, which
was the last year of the Roosevelt
administration.
