Rate Matter Settled.

Greenville, April According to
a statement made. tonight by Lewis
w. Parker, the fight between the cot
ton manufacturers and the railroads
for a more convenient schedule of
rate on cotton piece goods between
interior points and Charleston has
been practically settled.
Mr.. Parker's statement in effect is
that a settlement has been reached
between the mill men and the rail-
roads on two questions; one is the
through rate between South Carolina
mills and New York, and an agree
ment on this makes As cents per 100
a maximum rate.
It is stipulated that when the rate
exceeds As cents it is to be reduced
to As cents. The other question is
that of the use of Charleston as a
port: In order to facilitate this use
it is agreed that on shipments Of
goods on all through rates provision
for stopping in transit will be made
enabling goods to be stored in Char
lesion and distributed from there
without extra charge. -.
This is right similar to the goods
concentration privilege which has
now been extended to cotton as far
asI regards shipments to Charleston.
It. Is also stated that this settle
ment will probably lead to the build
ing of large warehouse for storing
and distributing cotton piece goods
in Charleston.
The agreement between the roads
and the mill men practically puts to
an end the matter before the rail-
road commission.

Death Of j. Norman Walker.

Mr.. J. Norman Walker died at the
home of his father at Appleton,
Barnwell county, Monday night of
this week. He had been i'll with tu-
berculosis for two years or more, and
was in the West for while, but W
til recently he has been in santa
rum at Asheville, N. C. A few
month ago he was down on a visit
to relatives, looking very much bet
ter, and it was hoped then that he
would recover his health, but later,
after going back to Asheville, he suf-
fered complete breakdown, and
about three weeks ago he was
brought home, as it was evident that
the end was near.
Mr.. Walker was well-known and
had many friends in Bamberg, hav-
ing married Miss Elise Bamberg, a
daughter of the late Gen. F. M.
Bamberg, and she with one little
daughter survive him. The body
was brought to Bamberg on yes
terday mornings train, and the
interment was at Southend ceme-
terry. A number Of his Masonic
brethren from Allendale lodge es-
corted the body here, and they were
met at the depot by the members Of
Ornan lodge of this place. Rev. w.
H. Hodges, pastor of Trinity Metho-
dist church, conducted the religious
services, and the body was inferred
with Masonic honors.
The pail bearers were: Henry J..
Brabham, Jr., H. w. johnson, J. M.
Grimes, G. o. Simmons, A. M. Brab-
ham, and Edgar L. Price. Mr..
Walker was about 80 years old. He
attended Clemson college, and was
one of the famous athletes of that
institution. OF fine physique, it was
little thought that dread disease
would ever attack one of his build.
He was an exceedingly popular man
in the social, business and fraternal
world. He was a Mason, Knights of
Pythias, and Elk. He was a son of
Mr.. R. H. Walker, Of Appleton, and
leaves a father, mother, sister and
brother. ..

Negro Immigrants Not Welcome.


Ottawa, Ont, April 3::-The move
ment of negroes into western Canada
to take up free homesteads was
brought up in parliament to-day by
Mr.. Theburn, an Ontario member.
He declared that hundreds OF colored
settlers had emigrated from the
United States and at the rate the
movement was growing there soon
would be thousands of them planted
in the northwest. He asserted that
they are not suited to Canadian con-
ditions and would not be desirable
settlers. The government, he de-
clared, should do something to dis
courage the movement.
Mr.. Oliver, minister OF the inte-
rior, replied that the Canadian laws
do not prohibit the entry of negro
settlers and that the government
could only administer law. While
the situation was being carefully
watched the government had not yet
seen fit to take drastic action.

Stranger Than Fiction.

Were the story Of Samuel Burdette
woven into a novel, it would be pro-
nounced fiction of the most crude
type. It is the truth, nevertheless;
and there are many who rejoice that
vindication has come, even though
it be 80 years late, and that suspicion
has been lifted from worthy man
that he may stand spotless before
his fellow-men in his declining days.
Thirty years ago Samuel Burdette,
a registery clerk in the postoftice at
Peoria, ILL.,, put a package of regis
tered letters containing $4,000 into
a mail sack and billed it to it's des-
tination. When the sack was open
ed the package was missing, and sus-
picion fell upon Burdette. Owing to
the confidence reposed in him by his
superiors, Burdette was not prose-
cuted, but was retained in his posi-
ton for two years longer, when ne
entered the ministry and was sent to
Asia as a missionary. For seVeral
years past he has been pastor OF
church in Springfield, Mass, loved
and honored, but occasionally re-
minded of the missing registered
package. A few weeks ago vet
eran mail sack found it's way into the
government repair shop in San Fran
cisco, and underneath the lining in
the bottom was found the package,
where it had been hidden from sight
for 80 years. Improbable as the
story is, it's truth has been vouched
for by the postal authorities.-Nash-
vile Advocate.

Boys Corn Club.

The boys corn club held meet
ing at the court house Saturday
morning, April 1st, alto o'clock.
The speakers selected for this
meeting were Mr.. B. D. Carter and
Mr.. J. A. Wyman, two prominent
young lawyers Of Bamberg. Mr.. Car
ter has spent good part. of his life
on the farm, and is a graduate Of
Clemson in the agricultural course,
therefore his speech was very inter-
esting.
He first compared boy raised in
the country to one raised in the city,
calling attention to the fact that the
country boy has more energy and
strength than the town boy. Then
he told how useless it is to try to
farm with even an agricultural edu-
cation, unless one has the practical
observation-disclosures the best teacher
in any occupation. On the other
hand, he said that man who has
not had the advantage of college
education may succeed if he will only
apply himself properly. Mr.. Carter
spoke only 20 minutes, but the boys
agreed that their time could not have
been spent more pleasantly or profit
ably-not even by working in their
corn.
Mr.. Wyman, our next speaker,
spoke mainly about the benefits of an
education to a man following any
kind of business. Mr.. Wyman very
aptly expressed how well it is to have
an education, yet how sad it is for a
we'll educated man to acquire bad
habits. He showed that it Is very
hard to "break off from" habit once
formed. An education, he said,
makes a person broad minded; helps
one to get another's point of view and
to agree with him on the subject un-
der discussion. Too, he thinks a
man with an education is better fit
ted to enjoy life upon this earth, the
Lord has given us. Again his
thoughts bore on bad habits, and how
an education helps man to see the
folly and danger of practicing them.
Mr.. Wyman closed his address by
showing how much easier it is for an
educated man to prosper than for an
uneducated one. He spoke only 80
minutes, but I feel safe in saying
that the boys would willingly have
listened to so interesting speaker
for three hours.
After the speeches the club held a
short business meeting, then adjorun-
short business meeting, then ad-
journed, having decided to hold the
next meeting July 1, at II o'clock.
