COVER 1900 APPLICATIONS"

IN to the present time over l,S0O
applications for admission to Win
throp college have been received. OF
this number only about 700 can be ad-
mitted on account of lack of dormitory
room.
Here is something for the laWmak-
ers TO ponder over. Thirteen hundred
girls seeking education at Winthrop
and only room for seven hundred! It's
a shame on the State.-Rock Hill Her
aid.
Suppose you ascertain first what
proportion of these thirteen hundred
girls of South Carolina were prepared
to enter college, and how many of
them could have been admitted, even
if the dormitory room had been there
in abundance. Ali of them may have
been, for aught We know, but the in
quiry may result in some valuable in
formation.
1T might develop another line OF
thought for the lawmakers to ponder
over, and one which we think is OF
vastly more vital importance than the
one of charging the dormftory room
at Winthrop. That question is the i'm
provement and enlargement of our
common schools and our high schools
so that not only these thirteen hundred
may be prepared to enter Winthrop,
but that that other thirteen and more
thousand in South Carolina may have
. the advantages of a high school edu-
cation, even though they never knock
at the doors of Winthrop.
This same old thing of having to
turn girls away from Winthrop for
lack of dormitory space has been
worked to death. We would like to
see a new line of argument for the
enlargement of the institution and
the best one we know is to build up
the high schools throughout the coun-
try.

modern, up-to-date garage and auto
mobile repair shop. To be built of
brick and to be two stories high.
Three such shops should give all
these autoists good service. It seems
to me that the first thing these auto
shops should do is to get busy and get
that road built through the county.
The more machines they can bring this
way the more work they will bring to
their shops.
7 read the Observer, and I notice in
the last issue a most startling admis-
sion or statement. If I was running
newspaper I certainly would not be
caught making any such statement
It says: "The Observer makes no at
tempt to run the town" 1t then adds:
''There are men elected by the peoDie
for that purpose, and it is their blsi-
Less" I had reached the conclusion
that it was part of the duty of news
paper to run the government. Or to
tell the officials how it should be run.
The Observer says that the liquor law
is being violated. I expect that is
true, for if it is not, why not? The
Observer is a mighty good paper, and
I sure enjoy reading it, and if it gets
after these violaters Of the liquor law
it will make it hot fir them. Wake
'em up. I am going to look in this
book I have and see if it Says anything
about selling liquor and if it does
will quote it for the Observer in my
next. The Idler.

GRADE CROSSINGS AND AUTOMO.
BILES.

Collisions between fast trains and
automobiles are everyday accidents in
this country. Primarily they are be-
cause Of the grade crossings, which
should be prohibited by law in the
future, but in nearly all of the cases
reported there is contributory negli-
gence On the part of the people driv-
ing the automobiles. For the driver
Of an automobile to approach rail
road crossing without taking every
precaution to avoid a collision is al
most criminal.
There are drivers of automobiles
who plunge over grade crossings at
high speed trusting to luck to see them
through, but this is foolishness and is
taking chances with death that are
entirely MISUNDERSTANDING
Herald.
We are glad to see the question OF
avoiding grade crossings is receiving
the attention of the newspapers. We
have some of the most dangerous
grade crossings in this county OF any
We know anywhere in the State. The
uoro1S ora Ao1,. boe e.. -oo.c o5,.
Gated and urged the advisability of
doing away with them as far as posi-
Bile. It would pay the railroads to
take the matter up and spend some
money in getting rid of them. Only
the other day the Southern railway
paid voluntarily $4,000 for the kill
ing of a woman and two children caus-
ed by a grade crossing. And that was
poor consolation to the poor husband
and father. But that amount OF money
would 80 long way in avoiding grade
crossings.
Take the road between Newberry
and Prosperity it would not take ten
Thousand dollars to relocate and
build public road so as to avoid
every crossing except one and the
road could be extended right on tt
Singleys without crossing a railroad
And then only one crossing to Little
Mountain. If we are going into roa6
building the cost of a few dollars
should not stand in the way of doins
the work as it should be done. The
railroads we are sure will cooperate
in so relocating the road as to avoit
crossing the railroad and it can be
done.

mercy After the flames died down the
crowd slowly dispersed. The negro's
body was burned to a crisp.
Victim Describes Attack.
= Mrs. Spra ggins, who is not expected
to live, said Carter entered her home
last night and struck her On the head
with a gas pipe, beating her until she
was unconscious. An old mattress
was torn up and scattered over her
body. After the negro had set the mat
tress on fire he fed. AS Mrs. Sprag-
gins was crawling from under the
fire the negro then reappeared and
again struck her with the pipe, break
ing her jaw and beating her badly.
Her husband, rushing to the house,
rescued his wife, unconscious. In a
few minutes more she would have
been dead.
Crowd Cheers .4sa;D.
The pile Of wood and brush on which
the, negroes body was burned was still
smouldering at 10 o'clock tonight.
The town was quiet. The Cheers OF
rhe crowi. whe:: :ls first fan 3 shot
up, minglei will he piercing cries OF
the negro, Lii after the fire had
burned for a.. Eo:i' and the boa2 WAS
nothing but a crisp, the crowd again
cheered. Then it dispersed.
While the majority of those who
gathered about to witness the black
mans death weor men, there wace
many women in the crowd.
Not Shot Fired.
A remarkable feature about the at
fair was that while the crowd was
determined upon the death of the
negro, it was far more quiet than usu-
al under similar conditions. Not a
shot was fired. The escape of the
negro, following his arrest, seemed to
add to the fury of the searchers for
the black man.
Talk about town tonight, following
the lynching, bears the message Of the
negro that he was "the right man." As
whispered from lip to lip, comes a
brief confession, made as he was led
to his funeral pyre.

some Spectacle.

Purcell, Okla, Aug: 24.-While 5000
men, women and children stood by,
shouting their approval, Peter Garter,
d negro, who had previously been cap
tured by three members of his own
race and identified as the man who
last night attacked Mrs. MIME Sprag-
gins, wife of a farmer, was burned to
death on brush pile, in the main
street of Purcell, at o'clock this
afternoon.
Deputy Sheriff Hayes and Under
Sheriff Farris, who attempted to res
cue the negro from the crowd, were
oVerpowered and locked in the court
house.
Assaulted and House Fired.
Mrs. spraggins was assaulted while
alone in her home, one mile south of
Purcell. After the deed the negro set
fire to the Spraggins home. Mrs.
Spraggins's husband saw the flames
while working in the fields and rushed
into the house in time to rescue his
wife. She declared Carter, who for
merly worked on the Spraggins's farm,
had attacked her. Officers went to
Carteris home and arrested him. He
was turned over to a constable. but
On the way to jail escaped. When it
became known that the negro was
free, farmers of the neighborhood Or
ganlzed a posse and an all-night
search was made. The negro was not
found.
Found Under Box.
This afternoon Higley Henry, a
negro janitor, noticed a strange negro
riding under box car near the Okla
homa Central Railway station. With
the aid of two other negroes, who had
armed themselves, the negro janitor
pulled Carter from beneath the car
de was taken to the main street of
Purcell, where a great crowd had
gathered
Turn that negro over to me-" said
a tall farmer, who suddenly seemed to
assume command Of the crowd.
Officers Plead in Vain.
The janitor and his two aides obey
ed. Carter was taken across the
street and in an instant many men and
boys were gathered. At this juncture
Deputy Sheriff Hayes and Under Sher-
if Farris arrived and pleaded with the
mob to turn the prisoner over to them.
The sheriff and his assistant were
locked up and the negro was led out
and placed On an oil-soaked brush
heap, built around a telephone pole.
He was tied to the pole and the torch
applied Cheers came from the crowd
as the flames licked the victims face,
and men and women in motor cars
watched him die AS he was lashed

THE IDLER.

Somebody has sent me little book
called "Ordinances of the Tow OF
Newberry." 1t is not such little book
either, for it contains ia pages, and
l have had only time to look att it hur-
riedly, but l reckon the reason so
many of the laws are violated every
day is that there are so many in this
little book that it is impossible for the
people and the officers to keep them
all in mind. l thought that maybe
Henry Wells had sent this book so
that 1 might see just what it says
about fire limits, but if he did he did
not write me anything. Anyhow, since
some one has been good enough to
let me have this book of laws, and l
was interested in knowing just what
it was that was said on this subject,
I turned to the index and looked it up.
You will find it at page 80 under the
title, Fire Limits" Here are the
limits laid down: "Beginning at the
east side of the intersection Of Tar
rant and Friend streets, thence to a
point ten feet beyond the south side
of Friend street, thence along a
straight line ten feet beyond the south
side of Friend street to the west side
of Wilson street to Main street, thence
along Main street to the west side Of
Thompson street, thence along the
west side of Thompson street, and
across Harrington street to Lindsay
street, thence along the west side Of
Lindsay street to the south side of
SCOTS creek, thence along the south
side of SCOTS creek to a point fifty
feet beyond the line of the railroad Of
the Southern railway company, thence
a straight line back to the point OF
beginning"

Saturday night, Roosevelt came out
squarely in favor of the movement.
The banquet hall, seating more
than 200 people was crowded. The
cheering which greeted the former
presidents appearance was a contin-

on his arrival in the afternoon, when
crowds greeted him with cries of
Teddy for president in 1872"
Roosevelt also urged the adoption
