DEATH OLA GOOD NEGRO.

On April 9Th, 1912, there died in this
county a mar who equally with most of
the white race and far more than his
own people, had earned the plaudit,

want" An humble, hard working negro
Charles Wells, familiarly known as the
Elder" to the black and white. came
to this country in 1882 and in 1885 went
to live on the plantation of Mr.. W. C.
George, where he stayed up to the time
of his death.
By his integrity, his good sense, his
industry and his never failing courtesy,
he won the friendship and confidence
of all who knew him and had been all
these years the trusted employe and
friend of Mr.. George, who had unlimit-
ed confidence in him as a servant and
as a man.
The product of no Tuskegee or ODER
lin he went his way setting an example
negroes would be wise indeed to follow.
He needed no Booker Washington or
Teddy Roosevelt to teach him his rights
or to point to him his duty, but wisely
trusted the white race and in turn was
trusted by them.
There is no member of his employees
family who did not know him well and
who was not glad to call him friend.

and his long sleep be "Sweetened by
dreams of many kind things done while

F0RESAW WILSON'S ELECTION
His Teacher Predicted II When tie
Was Ten Years Old.

John c. Baker, Of Manhattan, H..
was the happiest man in Will county
over the election of Woodrow Wilson
to the presidency because Of a predic-
ton made by his sister, Mrs. Mary
Russell, more than forty years ago.
Mrs. Russell was Wilson's teacher
when he was ten years old in Tileston
school in Wilmington, S. c., and at
that time predicted that the boy would
some day be president. She did not
live to see her prophecy fulfilled, dying
three years ago at Leesville, n. c.. at
the age of eighty-four.
AS token of his esteem Wilson gave
his teacher a little fretwork picture
frame, which is now in the Baker
home. Mrs. Russell watched DR. Will
son grow TO fame and with each ad-
vance changed the picture in the
frame. When she gave the frame to
her brother she remarked, you will
want to keep this, for when he gets
to be president you will be very proud
Of it."
Mr.. Baker says that Governor VIII
sons father, the Rev. Joseph Wilson,
visited him at Manhattan when his
son published his first book and said,
well, don't see where Woodrow gets
his smartness."

10 PENSION WORKERS.
Bell Telephone, Western Union and
Western Electric Provide II.

The Bell Telephone company an.
nounced that the board Of directors Of
that corporation and those of the West
ern Union Telegraph and Western
Electric companies have established n
S1O,O0O,OOO pension fund for the benefit
of their employees.
This fund is to he available for those
who have been in the service OF the
companies for more than year, and it
will not only pay death benefits, but
also sick benefits and indemnify their
employees against accidents.
The employees are to be paid accord
ing to the amount of their wages, n
certain percentage of their salaries
governing the amounts to which they
are to he entitled Many employees
who have been compelled to be with
out income during illness will receive
q percentage Of their salary.
The death benefits are also based on
the wages and salaries which the EN-
plOyces reCeiye. and when they are
killed I'm the service of the companies
or in the actual performance of their
duties, the amount to which their heirs
are entitled will be doubled.
The company says this matter has
been under consideration for some
time. but the working out of the prob
lem has entailed such an enormous
amount of labor to be able to eQualize
the benefits which will accrue to all of
their employees that it has been i'm
this time.
The plan is to become effective on
Dec. l, and this fund has been set off
in the liabilities of tho companies the
same as any other portion of their

women employees is in each case five
years younger than male employees.
The amount of the pension is automat-
ically based on the years of service and
the amount of pay and will be l per
cent Of the average annual pay for ten
years, multiplied by the number OF
years of service.

marched back again, no intercourse
being allowed with their fellows.
The squad in the old days was called
