If you think the scientific world is
wasting its time in foolish expert
ments, and in vague, Impractical ideas;
if you think it is blasphemously contra
dieting Genesis about the Creation of
the, Universe, and that it has no proofs
of what it says then you will change
your mind.
But # you think that science is on
the road to great and wonderful dis
coveries, which will astonish the world.
then you viii increase your ideas, and
your faith in what it will do, before
another decade.
Scientific men are mere blind run
ners now; but they are running in the
right direction, most of them; and sud
denly they will receive their sight,
and will know where lies the goal.
Already science has PROVED to all,
save the ignorant minds, that refuse to
read and understand, the vast age Of
the earth. Having proved that this
world has. existed millions of years,
it will find it difficult to indicate a time
when it did not exist; and still more
difficult TO state a time when it will
cease to exist; and finally the proof
will be found-proof absolute and open
to all-of the continuance of LIFE in
other realms adjacent, in invisible to
ours.

A SEGRO'S HEROIC DEVOTION.
Badge Presented by Veterans to Ned
Gillian, Who Recovered Masters
Body Under Heavy Fire.

A striking and unique feature of
Memorial day here on Wednesday af-
ternoon was the presentation to an
old negro, Ned Gillian, Of badge
for the heroism which he displayed in
recovering the body of his master
from the field of battle, and bringing
it home for burial. The badge was
presented by the James D. Nance
camp, United Confederate Veterans,
the presentation being made by Vet
eran W. G. Peterson, who introduced
the resolution in the camp for recog-
milton of the negros act:
On the 18th day of December, 1862,
the Federal army, commanded by Gen.
A. E. Burnside, attacked the Confed-
crate army, commanded by Gen. R. E.
Lee, at Fredericksburg, Va. Gen.
Kershaw's brigade Was stationed on
Lees hill, to the right of the telegraph
road, some distance farther from
Fredericksburg than Mayree's
Heights. AS the Federals were con-
centrating their attack on Mayree's
Heights, General Kershaw was order
ed to move his brigade by flank, left
in front, down the telegraph road to-
wards Mayrees Heights. This move
ment was made in full view of the
Federal artillery on the Stafford hills,
across the Rappahannock river. The
Federals concentrated their whole fire
on Kershaw's brigade This was one
OF the hottest artillery fires the bri-
gade was ever Under. While going
down this road Lieutenant James
Spencer Piester, a member of Com
pany c, Sd S. c. regiment, was struck
by a she'll from the Federal cannon
and his leg cut off, and was left in
the road.
Ned Gillian, colored a servant of
Lieutenant Piester, was up on the
hill above, out Of danger. Ned was
informed that his master was shot and
killed down the road. He Immediately
started down the road, and amid the
shrek of the shells and the groans
of the wounded and dying, he reached
his master, put him on his back, and
carried him back out of danger Of the
shells. Here Ned dug a grave, and,
wrapping his masters body in three
blankets, he buried him as best he
could, and then, as soon as he could,
he came home.
AS soon as he was able to make the
necessary arrangements, Ned e-<t
back to Virginia, got a coffin at Rich
mond, went to the temporary grave Of
his master, secured the body, and
brought it home, and Spencer Piester
was buried in his native State, at
Cannon's Creek, in this county.
Ned has always been true to the
cause OF the Confederacy, and always
attends the State reunions.
For this fidelity to his master, and
his bravery shown that bloody De-
cember day. the James D. Nance camp,
No. 1856, United Confederate Veterans,
of Newberry presented the badge to
Ned, Adjutant Buford deputizing Vet
eran Peterson to make the presenta-
ton.
The badge bears the following in
scription:
"Presented to Ned Gillian by Je nes

fidelity to his master and bravery on

THE PROSPERITY SCHOOL.

THE PROSPERITY SCHOOL.
There is no greater agency for the
development and growth of any COM
munity than a first class school. In
order to have such school, it is nee
e6sary to raise money in order to pay
the teachers and other expenses Of
the school There should be sufficient
funds to secure the best talent. I'm
fortunately, in many instances, our
people have not considered as. careful
L. as they should the fitness and capa-
city of the teacher to whose training
they commend their children.
The era of lack Of proper interest,
however, We believe, is rapidly pass
ing in this section, and II IS a good
omen that more attention is being
given, particularly, to the high schools
and rural schools Of the State, and
more care is being taken ip the selec-
ton of those who are 70 nave charge
OF the children.
The development of the scnool at
Prosperity has been marked during
the past several years. We can re-
call Wnen there was only a two room
school building, barely eQusppeu, ana
1ater another building was erected in
the town Of wood which was. sutti-
.eient for the needs of the school, The
people not satisfied with this, however,
went to work only 4 4eN years ago
and have erected a handsome brick
building, and it is we'll equipped and
equal to any building in any town Of
similar size. ~
7 The school, however, is growing,
and in order to keep pace with the
development of the times, it is neces-
sary to have mere funds SO that SUI
ficient salaries may be provided to
secure and retain the very best teach
eSs. Looking to that end, an election
has been ordered for next Tuesday to
vote an additional two-mill tax on
the district for school purposes. This
election should be carried without
dissenting vote. There IS 10 doubt
that the additional tax will be voted
by a decided majority, but it would
be very gratifying to the friends of
the school, and they should include
every citizen in the district, if the
vote was unanimous.
The past year, which came to a
close this week with a most interest
ing program, has been very success
ful. Prof. Geo. D. Brow and his as
sistants have done good work, and
the trustees, if possible, should re-
tain their services for another ses-
sion. The teachers, such as now con-
stitute the faculty of the Prosperity
school, are in demand, and if the dis
trict can not pay adequate salaries,
they can not expect to retain such
teachers. It is important, in fact, the
most important, question before the
people of the community.

THEN THEY CLASHED.
Union Pacific and Santa Fe Repre-
sentatives in SanguinaFy Combat.

1t is unfortunate that there is only
one main entrance to the general office
building of the Santa Fe-otherwise
Homer ShulI, clerk in the auditor of
disbursements office might have used
another door to go to his work Wednes-
day morning and Frank E. Smith, chief
clerk in the office of the Union Pacific
attorneys, would have still been wait
ing for his victim.
The way it was-HomeF Shull, with
his regular early morning pep walked
square shouldered to the big front door
of the building and the Union Pacific
man was waiting for him with doubled
fists.
The fight only lasted one round-thea
score of the three hundred clerks who
had gathered to see the fun, rushed
into the arena and separated the com
batants. 1t was a shame the fight
thusiastic white mans hope delegates
who were yelling encouragement-be
cause Shull, the pride of the Santa Fe,
had just started his trusty left into
action.
1t was this way.
According to the story told by Shul!.
Frank Smith claimed his wife-form-
| erly Mrs. Shull-told him that ShuT
had been following her on the streets.
Now no Union Pacific man is going To
| allow Santa Fe man to follow his
| wife and disregarding block signals and
! open switches Smith made a mile Il
minute run to the general office build
ing of the Santa Fe. Here he set his
brakes and threw in coal to keep up
his steam.
A merry whistle-something about
| Every little movement has a mean
AS all its own" sounded around the
curve at Ninth street. Down the track
came Homer Shull of the Santa Fe.
Not until he had come within a car
length of Smith did he see the danger
ahead-but it was too late. Like all
brave engineers he stuck to his post.
They met head-on.
Shull claims that Smith didn't even
hang out red flag-to say nothing
of giving a warning whistle. He just
drew back his fists and let fly.
| ShuH rushed to a clinch-Smith stug-
gled. Clerks were on their way to the
offices and stopped to see the fun. Afte?
three minutes of wrangling and clench-
ing the crowd jumped in and tore the
Hartman and the Ripley men apart.
Growing because they had separated
them and declaring he could whip his
man even if he was larger, Smith
whistled three times and steamed slow
ly back to the u. P. offices.
Smith, with his ear bleeding where
Smith had bitten out a chunk, con-
tinued on his way to work.
The troubled seems to be over wives
According to Shulfs story he married
a long time girl by the name of Clara
Anthony. A divorce was obtained. Ther
came Frank E. Smith. Smith had just
obtained a divorce after living with his
wife ii years. But Smith ventured into
the matrimonial game again. He mar
ried the former Mrs. Shull and they aTs
living together still.
The head-on collision in front of thS
Santa Fe general offices wednesday,
morning was the result of a quarre
over this last wife. Shull claims that
he didn't follow her on the street.
That caused the fight.
Shull is working at his desk today
whistling Every little movement has
/ a meaning all its own
