Where the Trouble Lies.

The Ohio Farmer, in considering
the unsatisfactory condition of the
country schools in that State, says
Good farmers will not patronize
poor schools" Why not say that
good farmers will make an effort to
have good schools. That is the truth
of the matter. All over this broad
country wherever you find a COM
munity of poor shiftless farmers
there you will find poor shiftless
school,
The prime cause of poor schools IS
in the farmers themselves, just the
same as. it is with poor farming. We
have known farmers who were IN
such a low, sunken state that they
we're not even ashamed Of the mis-
erabie school that existed in their
neighborhood. That is getting pref
ty we'll down, we admit, but there's
lots OF 'em. When the American
farmer takes on the true spirit and
pride of the civilization that sur
rounds him, he will see what shame
full neglect towards his own home
school he has been guilty Of

EARLY SLEEPING CAR.
South CarOlinian the Inventor Early
in Last Century.

In the early part Of the nineteenth
century there was a gentleman who
lived in Greenville, named Black.
The legend goes that he ran planta-
ton or two near Greenville and an
iron works near Blacksburg, S. G.
He had a son who graduated at West
Point named Co.. John F. Black, who
founded Blacksburg near where the
old gentleman had run the Cherokee
Iron Works, or some other iron
works. The old gentleman had big
carriage built in which he had a
sleeping berth like a sleeping car.
He used this to travel from Green
Vile to his iron works on the Broad
river and back. He would go to bed
as one does to-day in sleeping car
and do the travelling at night and
sleep while he travelled. The iron
which was made by Mr.. Black at his
Broad river works is said to have
been the best in the country.

SPECIAL" WRECKED.
Collides Head-on with Freight Train
Near Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, April 1S.-The west
bound "Carolina Special collided
head-on with a freight at 1880
o'clock tonight at Cedar Springs, a
station four miles east of Spartan
burg. Several passengers were
slightly injured and the two engines
badly damaged. Traffic was blocked
on the Columbia division for many
hours.
The Special, running several hours
late, was travelling about six miles
an hour preparatory to taking a sid
ing to allow the freight to pass. The
freight had misunderstood the or
ders and was also going at moder-
ate speed when the collision came.
Trucks of both engines left the
tracks and all cars were badly shaken
up. Passengers in the Pullmans
we're injured, although it is not
thought that any are seriously hurt.
The engineer of the Special had his
leg broken.
News of the wreck was late in
reaching here, because it was
thought that the train crews would
be able to clear the track in a short
time. One travelling man, whose
name could not be learned, had his
nose broken.

Aged Man Seeks Bargain Coffin.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 19.-Sev-
enty-nine years old, but with no
thought of dying for years, Judge
Zenas T. Vain, of South Brooklyn,
a retired windmill dealer, spent yes
terday, his natal day, in Cleveland
looking for a bargain in coffins. He
said he never had cared much for
show and thought he would care still
less when dead, 50 he wanted some
thing that would be durable, not
fancy.
The undertakers wanted any
where above 500 for good coffins,
the Judge told an interviewer,
none of which looked to be worth
more than $50 For $50 found l
could get one that looked as if it
might have cost $3.50 to make. You
don't suppose | could get a good
secondhand one anywhere, do you?"
The Judge" did not invest, but
decided he would wait awhile and
see if the high cost of dying might
not be reduced. He did buy black
suit, however, and said he was go
ing to see that it wasn't split up the
back when it was put on - that ac-
cording to the "judge' being a plan
many undertakers adopt for conve-
nience.

them out of mercy.
Judge Sease ruled quickly on OBJ
jections, weighing the merits thereof
in a few moments and then sustain
ing or overruling them without fur
ther ado. Having once ruled on an
objection, he would permit no fur
ther arguments to be made. Motions
of which he disapproved were
trusquely dismissed.
After several hours of delibera-
tion the jury in the case of the State
against Coan Moore, charged with
housebreaking and larceny, sent out
word that they were unable to reach
an agreement.
Sheriff w. J. White, standing by
the open door of the jury room, re-
ported the status of affairs 2 Judge

or, nuSnlnS Win anger.
After about thirty minutes had
elapsed he directed that the hung
jury be brought out. He asked the
foreman if they disagreed over a
::o:nt of law or over the facts of the
case. 1t was over the facts, the
foreman answered.
Eyeing the twelve men sternly,
Judge Sease told them the law did
not contemplate that the jury might
be unable to agree. 1t was neces-
sary, he said that the case be termin-
ated one way or the other. and there
was no likelihood that any other jury
of twelve men would find it more
easy to agree.

dict is not fit to serve on jury. Re-
turn to your room.
1t appeared that Judge Sease had
diagnosed the case correctly and his
severe admonition had had the desir-
ed effect. for in about ten minutes
the jury sent out word that they had
agreed. They found Co2n Moore
guilty as indicted.
Moore is IS years old. He entered
Sloan's store at Greer in 1909 and
stole a pair of shoes, watch and
two pistols, worth total of $4,000.

STILL HUNTING OUTLAWS.
Detectives Continue Search in Noun.
tains About Hillsville.

Bristol, Va, April 17.-Judge N.
P. Oglesby, attorney for the mem
bers of the Allen gang now in jail
at Roanoke, returned late tonight
from Hillsville, where he has been
for several days making investiga-
tions preparatory to the trials of the
outlaws. He says that the detectives
are still in the mountains about
Hillsville prosecuting an aggressive
search for Sidna Allen and Wesley
Edwards.
Judge Oglesby says that the pris-
oners will be taken to- Hillsville
April % and formally arraigned for
the trial the following day before
Judge Waller C. Staples, Of Roanoke.
The first question to be decided will
be as to the change of venue. A
question as to securing jury from
another county may also be before
the court. Judge Oglesby says that
as attorney for the Aliens he is un-
able to say whether they will be
ready for trial until they know where
they are to be tried.
The search for the two members
of the gang still at large is being
prosecuted with vigor in the hope of
capturing them before the trials. The
detectives are firm in the belief that
the outlaws are still in the noun
tains near Hillsville.

JUDGE SEASE PRESIDES
OVER COURT AT HOME.
Spartanburg Man Deals Out Some Stern Doc
trine.-Sentences~ Young Coan Moore to
One Year for Housebreaking.

Over the same court in which for
twelve years as solicitor he so bril-
liantly/ represented the State in the
prosecution of criminals, the Honor
able Thomas Sidney Sease, of this
city, yesterday for the first time pre-
sided as Judge. In the same room
where in former years he Illuminated
against felons he listened yesterday
with judicial poise to both the ar
raignment and the plea of the de-
fendant; where he once accused he
now gave judgment.
Judge George W. Gage, of Ches-
ter, who has been presiding over
this term Of court, was called home
yesterday by the serious illness of a
grandchild. Judge Sease chanced to
be at leisure and was assigned to
preside. Although he has been on
the bench since January, 1909, he
never has held court before in his
home city. The fact that Judge
Sease was presiding aroused unusual
interest, therefore in the sessions Of
court.
Stern, albeit humane, he made X
evident that although he is one OF
the youngest jurists on the South
Carolina bench he possessed old
fashioned Jurisprudence. In the
charging of juries and sentencing OF
convicted criminals Judge Sease
taught antiquated doctrine.
He told juries that they were not
to be governed by their personal in
clinations in reaching verdicts; they
were bound by oath, he said, to re-.
turn verdict according to the law
and the evidence: they were not IN
court to reward friends or TO punish
enemies, but TO do justice though
the heavens fall" They were to pass
themselves upon the creditability of
the witnesses, but were TO take the
law as laid down by him, and from
the law, as applied TO the testimony
they were TO determine the guilt or
innocence Of the defendant and re-
turn a verdict accordingly.
The doctrine of Judge Sease must
have seemed rank heresy to those
lawyers who, not denying their eli
ent's guilt, appeal to juries to acquit
