Carlisle Fitting School.

Our Carlisle School at Bamberg
is another school of the same kind,
ably manned and properly con-
Quoted. 1t, too, is taxed to its full
capacity. Under the wise direction
of Mr.. J. c. Guilds and his efficient
assistants it appeals to discrimina-
tive parents who desire the right
sort of training for their boys and
schools. If we add the number of
students at Carlisle to the number
in the Wofford Fitting School and
college, the "Wofford System" will
show a total enrolment of nearly
COOS. in Southern Christian Ad-
vocate.

Brother of Vaughn Does Crazy Act.

Brother OF vaughn Does crazy Act'
Spartanburg, October 1T. F.
Vaughn, claiming to be brother OF
T. U. Vaughn, who is now confined in
the State penitentiary to await trial
on serious charges, was arrested yes
terday afternoon and lodged in the
county jail on a charge of disorderly
conduct. It seems that the man is
demented to an alarming degree, and
he gave a correct imitation of his ma
mia yesterday when he swung an all
tomobile of A. B. Groce, while the
machine was in rapid motion as it
passed along the national highway
near Wexford, en- route to the city.
The man was successful in swing
ing the car, and he took charge of the
steering wheel and it was by main
force that Mr.. Groce was able to
steer the car clear of the many OBJ
stacles on either side of the highway.
Fortunately for those occupying the
car, among whom were three ladies,
the man did them no bodily harm
and gave his whole attention to the
runnig of the car.

How Do Ants Find Their Way?

Most people at some time or other
have lain upon the ground and watch
ed an ant making her way through
forest of grass, and have wondered
that the tiny insect can go into such
wilderness and still get back safe
to her nest. Does the ant take note
of landmarks on the outward jour-
ney, and mentally record a fallen
twig here, a stone there, for use as
guides on her journey home?
Many observers have carefully stu
died the habits of ants in this partic-
ular, and all agree that landmarks
are not necessary to the ant; it can
find it's way back to the nest just as
we'll when the landmarks are all al
tered. A German scientific man, Be-
the, held that ants return to the
nest as dog tracks fox, by scent;
that is, by following the smell OF
their own footsteps.
But the most recent investigator
of the subject, Swiss naturalist,
Cornetz by name, who has made re-
cords of more than a hundred trails
actually followered by ants to and
from their nests, is quite sure that
they do not depend on smell. The
ants path back to the nest, he says,
is never the same as the path she fol-
lowed on her outward journey.
According to Cornetz, the ant has
curious power of remembering the
general direction of her course, in
spite\ of having to climb over and
creep under obstacles, and to make
occasional excursions to right and
left in search of food. Moreover,
when she has found food that she
wishes to carry home, she is able to
return herself about so as to follow
exactly the reyerse direction home.
She acts as if she bore minute COM
pass in her small body. In proof,
Cornetz cites an experiment in which
an ant returning to her nest was
transported on leaf beyond her
nest; she continued to travel in the
direction that she had been pursuing,
although she was now, of course, NOV
ing away from her home.
The homeward journey, Cornetz
finds is always in course roughly
parallel to that of the outward jour-
ney. A man who has tried to keep
the same direction through miles of
thick woods on a cloudy day, without
a compass, and with no chance to
view the landscape DER" from high
ground, must respect the ant for
something more than mere industry.

The Rev. Checezzilie.

That negro preacher with the un-
pronounceable name, who claims to
be from Abyssinia, has struck
Charleston and we see in the Green
wood JourpA an account of an inter-
view which he gave the News and
Courier. The Rev. Checezzilie, 1--WE
believe this is the way he spells it,
was in Bamberg several years ago,
and we did some printing for him
in the way of pamphlets containing
we believe an address he delivered
somewhere in England. 1t was the
most wonderful document the writer
ever came in contact with and, believe
us, we have seen some rare specl-
mems during our newspaper expert
ence of nearly thirty years. The
Reverend claimed to be graduate of
Oxford University, England, and the
list of high-sounding titles he used
after his name was great. He said
he came to this country as the rep
resentative of King Menelik, of Abys-
sinia at the st. Louis Exposition and
was on his way home. He stayed
around Bamberg about two months
we suppose, or possibly longer, and
during that time he managed to sep
arate number of negroes from some
of their money, by the sale of pamph-
lets, collections at churches where
he delivered addresses, etc. No doubt
the Reverend is pretty much of a
fake, but his language is very real
and there are acres of it. We have
somewhere in our job work samples
of copy of the pamphlet we printed
for him, and from our recollection of
it, his interview in the News and
Courier does not do him justice.

New Treasurer.

AS Col. Jno. F. Folk did not stand
for reelection as county treasurer IN
the recent primary, he has rendered
his resignation to the governor, and
Mr.. Geo. A. Jennings, the county
treasurer-elect now has charge of the
Office. He has the tax notice in this
issue, as the books open the 15th-in-
slant. Mr.. Jennings finds the office
in fine shape, and that he will keep
it up to it's present high standard
goes without saying, and the tax
payers of the county will receive the
same careful and courteous treat
ment as heretofore.

say of the paper published in that

It is understood that the printing
outfit used for publishing the News
Scimitar, the local Blease paper, will
be sold at an early date. There is
also a rumor to the effect that the
publication will be bought by parties
who intend issuing a county news

Civic League Meets.

comprising a small band of ener-
getic women of Bamberg, was organ
lied few years ago. Being actuated
wholly by public spirit and giving
freely of their time and means, with
no object in view save the desire to
see the town more beautiful,
healthful and attractive place, these
women felt that they at least de-
served encouragement and co-opera-
ton from the business men of the
town. This they did not receive,
either from the municipal authori-
ties or the merchants, with of course
some exceptions-fortunately there
are always some wide-awake indi-
viduals in a town who are ready and
willing to aid in its growth and pros
perity-but, as stated, they grew dis
couraged and no meetings have been
held for more than year. But
during the existence Of the league,
in spite of manifold discouragements
and in the face of adverse conditions,
quite great deal of civic work was
accomplished. Grass was planted in
the court house square, hedge
placed the entire distance around,
grass and flowers planted around
the Methodist and Baptist churches,
S65 was expended in garbage cans
for Main street, $50 has been given
towards the erection of a fence
around the graded school building so
that these grounds may be beautifed,
and Restland cemetery has been put
in good order several times by the
members of the league. Besides
these things, they endeavored to
arouse public opinion continually to
the sanitary conditions of the town,
pleading with the housekeepers not
to pile tin cans, bottles, etc., on the
streets, to burn paper, trash and
everything burnable in the back of
their premises and asking the mer-
chants simply to keep behind their
places of business clean and to place
their trash swept from the front door
into the garbage cans placed. ell
along the streets, and they continu-
ally besought the chief of police to
enforce the laws, especially as to the
trash piles and the grazing of cows
on the principal streets of the town.
At last the eyes of the town are
being opened and the physicians as
we'll as citizens are beginning to ap-
preciate what was done through the
efforts of the league and to see the
need of it's work again.
In answer to plea from many
sources a number of the members
met on last Tuesday afternoon in
the city hall and re-organized.
The following officers were elect
ed: President, Mrs. w. P. Jones;
vice president, Mrs. J. w. Barr; re-
cording secretary, Mrs. M. E. Aver;
treasurer, Mrs. H. j. Brabham, Jr;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. 9.
Frank Bamberg.
Each former member is earnestly
requested to allow her name to re-
main on the roll call, meeting with
us on the fourth Thursday afternoon
in November at the city hall and the
ladies of the town as a whole are
now called upon to rally to our aid
and help in this work by joining the
league.

SHOT BY HIS STEPSON.
Henry Frank, Calhoun Farmer, Kill
ed by William Beckham.

St. Matthews, Oct. 2.-Henry
Frank, of the Sandy Run section Of
Calhoun county, was to-day shot and
killed by his stepson, William Beck
ham, near the home of the deceased.
The immediate cause of the shooting
is not known, but it is stated that
there was dispute of long standing
over a road, through the farms of the
two men.
The law and order element of CAL
houn county has rejoiced over the
fact that no white blood has been
spilled, in mortal combat, within her
borders since it's formation four and
a half years ago. This baptism has
happened under most distressing and
unhappy conditions. Many years
ago Mr.. Henry Frank, of the Sandy
Run section, married a widow, Mrs.
Beckham, who had son by the name
of William Beckham. 1t is said that
the young man and his step-father
never got on very harmoniously and
that, of late years, since Beckham has
been a farmer on his own hook, and
upon adjoining lands, the main bone
of contention has been a road lead
ing through the plantation of the
elder to that of Beckham. A lawsuit
before Magistrate Prickett, about a
year ago, resulted in Franks being
forced to open the road.
Nothing more was heard of the
matter until yesterday, when Beck
ham was in town and reported to the
MAGISTRATE that the old road trouble
was renewed and that he would
doubtless, be forced to the law again
to settle their differences. AS there
had been frequent word clashes
lover their cups, especially,) no Sc
rious import was attached to the
matter until a phone message from
the seat of the trouble at noon to-
day, told the sad news that step-fath-
er and stepson had had their last
quarrel on earth.
It appears that Beckhanm and
Frank were together at the home of
the latter. Frank walked to the mail
box, on the old State road, nearby,
where the shooting took place, soon
after. The balls went home and
Frank is said to have lived but
short while. There were no wit
nesses to the killing and the secret
of the last encounter rests alone IN
the bosom of Beckham.
The jury of inquest, after.
lengthy session, returned a verdict
that Henry Frank came to his death
from wounds inflicted by William
Beckham. The testimony of Mrs.
Frank and the mother of Beckham,
it is said, was that he did not accom-
pany Frank to the postofice box as
first reported, but that he inquired
at her home for deceased and follow
ed him to the mail box where the
shooting took place. Frank was un-
armed.
Beckham was brought in late this
afternoon by the sheriff and lodged
in iail. The News and Courier cor
respondent sought an interview with
him, but was Informed by his attor-
news, Mann & Stabler, that he had
nothing to give out except admitting
that he did the shooting. Testimony
goes to show that liquor played

OF those Elusive things that recognize

You can not compel her to love you.
With every argument in your favor,

she can not compel herself.
A Fine Art.
Our ancestors used to make quite a
study Of how to win fair ones af-
| fections. and with them it became a
fine art.
But with all their galantry, their
stlted phrases, their long Winded and
verbose love making, they succeeded no
better than the man of today who de-
clares his love in six words over the
telephone.
Love requires no special scenery. 1t
needs no coaxng or attentions of the
kind you are giving. It is not a mat
ter of will.
Remember that. my dear young man,
and if your present methods of siege
have failed, try riding away to a newer
field That has often succeeded where
faithful devotion has failed. She is
sure of you now. With the first feel
ing of doubt there may come a reaHza-
ton of what losing you will mean
She thinks life would not be pleas
ant with you. Let her learn what it is
without you for time
If you have been kind and consider
ate and devoted. she will miss all this,
and will signal for you to return.
Some women never know they love a
man until they are about to lose him.
Further than these suggestions for
playing the game, ! know no more
