WILL SHOW UP SOUTH.
Southern Railway Will Make an At
tractive Exhibit.

The Southern Railway will make
an attractive exhibit showing the ag-
ricultural, forest and mineral re-
sources and manufactured products
OF the Southeast at the Appala chian
exposition, to be held at Knoxville,
September II to October l, 1911.
This exhibit will contain handsome
displays of cereals, cotton, tobacco,
legumes, vegetables and fruits, and
especial attention will be given to
forest products and manufactured
specimens of woods. The exhibit will
show il comprehensive way the
possibilities and advantages Of the
Southeastern States and should prove
a powerful advertisement for the sec
ton as large numbers of visitors are
expected at the exposition from points
outside the Southeast
At the same time the exhibit will
serve the very useful purpose Of call
ing the attention Of the people OF
the South to the great opportunities
which exist in their own country. This
is feature which the management of
the Southern Railway considers Of
the highest Importance, as nothing
can have a more powerful effect in
discourag ging emigration from the
South to less favored sections than
a thorough knowledge of the South
and the many reasons which make
this the best section of the country
in which to live and prosper.

WOMAN RAN AMUCK.
Kills, Three Children and Ended Her
Own Life by Hanging.

Crazed by heat, Mrs. Maud Nc
Crary, Of Los Angeles, Cal, killed
her three small children and ended
her own life in a vacant house at
Lockney, Texas, Friday. This be-
came known Saturday when a search
ing party secured the countryside for
the woman and children, thinking
they had become lost, found the bod
les CT the children in weeds near the
vacant house and the body of the
mother hanging to an unused wind
mill at the rear. Mrs. McCrary was
in Texas on visit to her mother.
Friday Mrs. McCrary went out Of
her mothers house unobserved and
with the children, sought seclusion in
the deserted house, some distance
from Mrs. Hamilton's residence. The
house is a two-storI structure. APP
parently, Mrs. McCreary took the
children one at time into seperate
rooms upstairs where she cut their
throats with broken glass taken from
windows and tossed the bodies into
weeds outside.
The childrens ages were three
years, FIVE years and three months,
respectively. The woman left note
stating that no one was to blame eX-
cept herself, but the wording caus-
ed the belief that she was temporarily
insane from the excessive heat which
prevailed during the last few days.

ORANGEBURG COLLEGE.
Preparations Being Made for the Best
Year in its History.

The annual advertisement of the
Orangeburg College appears in this
issue of our paper. This school has
had most remarkable growth in
the past seven years since President
W. S. Peterson has been at the head
of it. Every room was taken last
year, and the prospects for next ses-
sion are brighter than ever before.
The College draws its patronage from
every section of the State, and from
other States. The faculty for the
coming year is the best that the
school has ever had, being composed
Of sixteen College and University
trained teachers. A number of the
professors are on the road canvass
ing for the cshool this summer, and
it is expected that the boarding pat
ronage Will run up to at least 800
students the coming session. Prof.
Peterson gives his students board at
actual cost and this has reduced the
expenses to the lowest cost. He gives
the boarding department his own
personal supervision, and having
given the subject of dietary many
years of careful study, knows how to
furnish most excellent fare.
The music department Of the
school the coming session will be es-
pecially strong. Prof. Thomas L.
Tinsley, the Director of Music, is a
Georgian by birth, is a graduate of
the Atlanta Conservatory Of Music,
and has also had training in the
North He is great concert pianist,
and will prove valuable acquisition
to the school. Mrs. Della Gilbert,
who will have charge of the Vocal
department, is graduate Of the
Grand 'Prarie Conservatory of Music
of Illinois, and also Of the New Eng
land Conservatory of Boston. Mrs.
Gilbert has had many years of sue
cessful experience both on the Con-
cert stage, and as a teacher. She
comes to Orangeburg College from
Columbia College, where she had
charge of the Vocal department in
that school for the past five years,
and where she was successful III
building up for that school a great
school of voice She possesses rich
contralto voice, and is nown all over
the State AS one of the best singers
going. These two talented teachers
will insure Orangeburg College as
fine department in music as can
be found in this State.
There has long been a demand for
a school that would give such train
ing as this school gives at the low
cost that it does, and it is no sur
prise to its friends that it is growing
numbers

Tell Us. Man.

Are you advertising
In the same old foolish way
That you grand-dad did before you,
And persist, "It doesn't pey?'
Think the world knows your address
Cause it hasn't changed in years?
Wouldn't the pathos Of such logic
Drive billy-goat to tears.
Gust card" is all you care for,
Hidden, lonesome and unread,
Like the sign upon q tombstone
Telling folks that you are dead.
Wake up, man. and take a tonic,
Bunch your hits and make drive.
Let people know you want their biz,
ADVERTISE, and keep alive.

KILLED AND INJURED.
Roof Collapses Entombing Victims in
Steel and Water.

Ten men were crushed to death and
seven others seriously injured at Buf-
falo, n. Y, Friday in the collapse OF
the roof and other portions of the
Buffalo water departments new
pumping station The dead are bur-
led beneath hundreds of tons of steel,
brick and mortar.
Most of the injured were at work
on the roof, which was 500 feet long
and 100 feet wide. About 200 feet
of this suddenly fell in; from what
cause has not been determined. The
fire and police departments rushed
emergency apparatus to the scene,
and the injured were quickly remov-
ed and sent to hospitals.
1t will be hours before those buried
in the pumphouse can be reached.
They were installing machinery in
the pit fifty feet below the level OF
the first floor. One OF the injured
died in an ambulance and two died
at hospitals. Others of the injured
are not expected to live.

Baptists from all parts of the
world are in session at the Baptist
Worlds Alliance in Philadelphia.
The Rev. Cortland Myers, Of Boston,
who spoke at the afternoon services
in the Temple, warned his hearers
against abstract theologies and the
so-called higher criticism. He de-
clared that there are Baptist minis
tiers filing pulpits and Offices in the
church who are not sure Of their
,elief in the Divinity of Christ. "They
are as unorthodox as the devil" de-
clared DR.. Myers Like wolves IN
sleeps clothing, they are made up
Of Baptist wool and Unitarian hair.
They are hypocrites who are in the
church through a foul trick and
should be sent where they belong"
Who made him a judge?

er, aged IA. They were on the dam
when one fell in the water and the
other was drowned in his efforts to

to revive them were useless.

SCORES CARNEGIE FUND
ATTEMPT TO MONoPoLIZE HIGH
ER EDUCATION.
Priest Asserts That 1t VIII Have En-
feet, Also, on Legislation Aimed
at Steel Trust.

A scathing attack on the aims and
alleged tendencies of the Carnegie
foundation was the somewhat sensa-
tiooal feature of the opening session
of the convention of the National
Educational association at Chicago
Tuesday.
In an exhaustive address the Rev.
Timothy Bresnahan, s. j., president
of Loyola university, Baltimore, ar
raigned the foundation, and his
views were supplemented by a gen
eral discussion.
In the course of his address Father
Bresnahan said:
"a fund of s15,O00,000 in bonds
of the United States Steel corporation
providing retaining allowances for
certain institutions will enlist the in
terest of influential personages in
the stability of the Pittsburg million
aires industrial institution.
s'These, We may reasonably sup
pose, would scarcely look impartially
on legislative enactment that would
imperil the value of their securities.
The result of investing the Uniteo
States Steel corporation bonds in the
foundation could scarcely have es-
capped the accumen of so acute bus
mess man.
"The Carnegie foundation affords a
motive to university and college pres
idents for dischargingt professors
when they have reached the dead line
If the evils of depotism are in store
for US should we permit monopoly
of education by the governD1en,
which after all can be called to be
account, what may we expect from
private, permanent, self-perpetuat-
ing corporation backed by millions OF
dollars and irresponsible to the pub
lie, whose one aim is to bring into
disrepute schools under definite re-
ligious control; to bind together non
sectarian schools selected mostly for
their actual or prospective strength; ;
through them to get control Of the
higher education Of the country. and
finally to establish educational unity
and coherency by an educational sys-
TEN necessarily hostile and skeptical
in its attitude toward religious
TRUTH"

TURKS ON THE RAMPAGE.
Districts Devastated and Women and
Children Butchered.

The situation in Albania is ex-
tremely critical. Turkey has massed
$4,000 troops within days march
of the Montenegrin frontier.
Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, who
has just arrived at Vienna from Get
TIME after traversing Albania, says
the Turks are devastating whole dis
tricts, killing prisoners, burning
houses and crps and blowing up the
churches. A large body Of Albanian
women and children is now caught
between two wings of the Turkish
army and escape is impossible.
Mr.. Crane adds that $4,000 wo-
men and children have fed to Mon
tenegro and are starving there, their
only means of subsistenence being
boiled grass and variou sroots they
are able to gather.

BOLT RESTORES SPEECH.
Flash and Peal Brighten Woman and
Give Power to Talk.

A fash of lightning and a sharp
peal of thunder in storm Friday
restored the power of speech to Miss
Jessie B. Fishcel of New Orleans. She
had been dumb two years.
The failure of her voice followed
a period OF illness. Physicians and
srecialists from all over the country
had diagnosed her trouble without
result ard only last Wednesday a
physician declared in his opinion her
case was hopeless and further treat
ment a needles expense.
A sudden gasp and Involuntary ex-
clamation by Miss Fischel followed
the lightning fash and peal of thun-
der and to her surprise she discover
ed she could again talk. Her voice
is normal.

Lightning Kills Three.

Three negroes, each at different
place, within a radius of five miles
of Summerton, were killed by light
ming Friday afternoon. 1t is said that
fourth was also killed, but this can
not be verified Frasier Caldwell,
was killed while asleep on his piaz-
"a. while Manning Keels was killed
in field while ploughing. The name
of the third party could not be as
certained.

TO COVER CRIME
WOMAN SLAIN AND HER BODY
PLACED on TRACKS.
But She Nrithes Off Rails in Death
Agony, and Crime of Assailants Is
Revealed.

Lying beside the Reading Railroad
tracks about half-a-mile from Will
Jamestown Junction, n. j., the body
of Mrs. Mary Green was found Friday
morning. She had been murdered.
The woman had fought off most
ferocious attack until she was made
unconscious by strangulation.
Her murderer had evidently laid
the body on the tracks, expecting it
would be ground to pieces and his
crime hidden. But the County Pros
ecutor believes the woman in her
death agony writhed her way off the
tracks and foiled his plan. :.
Coroner Jaggard of Berlin, after
an autopsy, declared the woman had
undoubtedly been the victim of out
rageous assault and had died in the
defense Of her honor. Her clothing
had been torn to threads. Her face
had been scratched and ground into
the earth till it was mass of bruises.
There was a depression on her left
temple as though she might have
been struck by blackjack or brass
knuckles.
A strange feature of the mystery
is that her husband and their infant
child are missing from the Green
home, which is on farm about four
miles west of Williamstown Junction.
Mrs. Green herself had left home
about a week ago to visit friends in
Philadelphia and the authorities had
not been able to account for all her
movements since then. She. was
about thirty years old, prepossessing,
and bore an excellent character.
The police have obtained the de-
scription Of two men who were seen
with woman whose description coin
cides with that of Mrs. Green. They
were observed about midnight near
the junction. Persons there heard
pistol shots about half past twelve.
There were, however, no bullet marks
on the woman's body.

Many Poisoned by Salad.

Forty persons, who were guests at
a wedding at Plains. near Americus,
Ca, Friday evening, spent most Of
Saturday in the throes Of ptomalne
poisoning. and though greatest alarm
was felt in regard to some Of them,
all are said to be out of danger now.
4 mixed salard course is said to have
been responsible for the wholesale
sickness.
