Russia is considering the passage
of a compulsory school attendance
law, according to a correspondent OF
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. The critics of the proposed
measure point out that the law
might be unenforcehble, owing to
the inadequacy OF the school
houses and apathy of the peasantry.
If the measure passes, Russian will
be taught in all schools. to the end
that it may become the language of
the people even in the privlnces OF
the empire which are inhabited by
Russians.

NEGRO KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Five Others Knocked Unconscious by
Same Shock at State Farm.

1t was learned here Friday that dur
ing thunder storm Monday after
noon, one negro was killed by a
strAk Of lightning and five others
were knocked unconscious and re-
manned i'm that condition for several
hours. The disaster took place at the
state Farm near Hagood and all OF
the persons concerned were negro
convicts.
The storm came up when the ne
groes were down in the lower part of
the farm near the swamp, and it was
here that the lightning did its deadly
work. The five negroes who were
stunned came back to consciousness
after several hours. but it was thought
for a while that they had also been
killed.

COUNTY BOARD MET.
Board Discussed Matter of Erecting
Clubhouse for Prisoners Having Dis
eases.

AT the regular meeting of the
county board Of commissioners held
tuesday, the only matters attended
to were the passing on of a number
of bills and discussion Of the best
method Of protecting prisoners free
from disease from those who were in
fected with contagious or infectious
diseases.
The matter was discussed for some
time and was finally referred to the
Grand Jury for recommendation.
The board deemed the best method
of dealing with the problem was to
put up some kind of clubhouse in the
jail yard and have one of the iron
cages in it for those prisoners which
were troubled with contagious or in
fectious diseases.
