The Good Roads campaign is we'll
under way and If hard work and ell
thusiasm count for anything in Sum-
ter county the movement to give this
county the best system OF public roads
in the entire State will be carried to
a triumphant success. The cam
paign Is being thoroughly organized
and will be prosecuted along educa-
tional lines to the end that every
property owner and voter will be
fully informed concerning the plan to
be followed In financing and building
tha roads that this county needs to
develop its resources. render ii pros
porous and the rural districts more
desirable and pleasant as a place Of
residence. IL Is the opinion Of ex-
perts. which opinion is based upon
experience. that system OF good
public roads doubles and frequently
trebles the value OF real estate and
lessons the cost of marketing the
crops to such an extent that unprofit-
able farms have become valuable.
Good roads are a live issue In Sumter
county and every citizen should post
himself on the subject.

this afternoon to an audience that
packed and jammed the large audi
toriurr OF Coker College. This speech
Of The Peerless One" has been too
often listened To- and told about to b.
Gin 20 give any description OF. but
was, without vxceptiOn, entirely salts
Tying to his hearers, who heard him
with intense interest for over one
hour.
Br. Bryan's special train was met
at Florence by Mayor +. A. Miller,
the President of the Commercial Club,
Mr.. ID. r. Coker, Mr.. j. j. Lawton
and others. at which place it arrived
at o'clock. The trip to Hartsville
was very pleasantly spent by the
party. which included also a large
delegation of citizens Of Dillon, who
accompanied Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's conversation on live
political subjects was most enjoyable,
and his discussion of men and meas
ures instructive and educational. On
arriving at Hartsville, Mr.. Bryan was
entertained at the home OF Mr.. j. j.
Lawton, and the gentlemen from Dill
Ion were entertained by different citi-
zens of the town.
At a little after o'clock Mr.. Bry-
an was introduced to his hearers. who
had come hither from Darlington,
Cheraw, Lamar. Bshopville and all
the adjacent country. by the Hon.
Mendel l.. Smith, of Camden This
speech of Mr.. Smith was a gem Of its
kind. and it seemed to be pleasing to
Mr.. Bryan.
After some Introductory remarks
on politics and the past few years in
national politics, Mr.. Bryan began his
speech proper, which ought to be
termed a sermon, in truth. And a
mighty good sermon it was. and one
that would result in something very
definite and tangible if heard from
our pulpits with greater frequency.
The Atlantic Coast Line was es-
pecialy accommodating to Hartsvillc

AN IRRESPONSIBLE TRUST
A Government System of Education, Says Eminent Priest, Is Bad Enough, But the Government May Be Called to Account.

Chicago, Ills, June 27.-A scathing attack upon the aims and alleged tendency of the Carnegie Foundation was a feature of the opening of the convention of the National Catholic Educational association here today. The Reverend Timothy Bresnahan, s. J.. president of LOyola university of Baltimore. Md, arraigned the founda- ton and his views were supplemented by a general discussion led by the Reverend Matthew Schumacher. C. $, of Notre Dame, Ind,
 In the course of his address. Father Bresnahan said: If the evils of .despotism are in store for us. and We permit monopoly of education by the government which after all, with us. can be called to account, what Inay we expect from a private per manent self perpetuatinG corporation backed by millions of dollars and ir- responsible to the public, whose one aim is to bring into disrepute schools under definite control by different re- ligious denominations; to bond to- gether non -sectarian schools selected mostly for their actual or prospective strength; through them to get con- trol of the higher education of the country; and finally to establish edu- cational unity and cOherency by an educational system necessarily hostile and skeptical in it's attitude toward religious truth"

FLEW OVER NIAGARA
 IN AN AER0PlANE
The Performance of Aviator Lincoln
 Beachey.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June 21-Nith the whirr of his biplane motor drown ed in the roar of the cataract and man and machine momentarily obscured in spray and mist, Lincoln Beachey, the California aviator today, after circling above the falls swooped beneath the arches of the upper bridge and down the gorge almost to the whirlpool.
 Rising again between the sides of the lower river Beachey scared to the Canadian side where he made a sue cessful landing It was the first time that a, birdman had cut through the air currents and mist clouds and leaping foam caused by Niagara Falls and the rapids
 At no time during the flight was the biplane more than thirty feet above the spume. The space thruogh which he flew is 16S feet high and barely 100 feet from side to side. The distance from the brink of the falls to the bridge in which he made the dip is about 400 yards. Beachey will re- peat the flight tomorrow. Today's crowd was estimated at 15O.OOO per sons.

EVIDENCE FAVORS HINES.
Refutation of Testimony Concerning Admissions to Funk and of Telephone Conver tions With Springfield.

Washington, D.. C., June 27-COn- tradictions in the testimony concern ing the pecuniary assistance that Ed ward Hines, the Chicago lumber man, may have rendered in the election of Senator Lorimer marked today's session of the senate Investigating committee The most significant was the direct denial by Shelly E. Jones, druggist in Marquette, Mich, that he had ever said MT. Hines had re marked in his presence that he had put Lorimer over" as a United States senator, and that he had col lected d fund of S10,0O0 to do it.
 In testifying, the witness contra dicted the affidavits of E. D. Mosher, deputy United States marshal at Marquette; Frank J. Russell, editor of the Mining Journal of Marquette, and Robert C. Lowe, d Chicago news paper reporter, before the committee appointed by the Illinois senate to investigate the Lorimer election. His statement also cOntradicted the testi- mony given by Morris B. COan, an investigator for the committee
 William J. O'Brien, a lumber man of Duluth, Minn, and vice president of the Virginia and Rainy Lake com pany, of which MT Hines is presi- dent, and of which ". II. Cook, an other witness of the day, cOntradicted the testimony given to the Helm committee by Investigator Coan. He denied that COan had requested him to appear before the Helm committee. as Coan is credited with having testi- fled he did request. He denied that he had told COan he was mixed up with the Weyerhousers and Hines in a deal and that he felt his testimony might convict MT. Hines of perjury.
 Both OBrien and Cook said they were in Mir. Cooks room at the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago about the time of Lorimer's election, and MT. Hines held telephone conversa- ton from that room. Mir. Cook re- peated the testimony he gave to the Helm committee concerning that, varying. however, by declaring that when the telephone operator rang up and asked if Hines was there she said. Here is Governor Deneen.
 Mir. Hines was quoted as saying that Lorimer must be elected and that he would be down on the next train prepared to furnish all the money necessary The witness de nied that he had ever claimed that Hines was talking to former Cover nor Yates.
