Many To Be Teachers
of Domestic Science
STUDENTS LEARN METHODS OF
TEACHING AS WELL AS
SUBJECT ITSELF.

Statistics have been compiled re-
Gently to show that approximately
S1OO,NO0,00 are spent annually by the
housekeepers of this country. A Sec
ond statistical table compiled in con.
nection with the first shows that near
ly ninety-five per cent of these spend
-ers have had no Training in the econ
omics of such an expenditure.
It has long been customary for a
corporation whose annual business is
even less than one-hundredth part of
the above amount to employ especial
~ trained men to conduct it, but it
has been only a comparatively recent
effort to better fit the women of this
country to spend judiciously and to
use scientifically the returns from
such an expenditure.
That this effort is being met with
popular approval is seen from the en-
rollment in the department of dOmes-
tic science at the Normal school. Com
plete registration figures show just
120 students in that department, an
increase of forty over the number en-
rolled at this time last year, and the
largest since the department was in
augurated three years ago.
These students are now enrolled in
one of two courses. There is course
for the training of teachers in domes-
1a h1v a
course. Only high school graduates
are eligible to the teachers training
course, which leads to the profession
al diploma. Other students are grant
ed the diploma in domestic science,
and graduates from both courses are
licensed to teach in any high school
in this state. Work in either course
is purely elective during the fall term.
The department now requires three
instructors in special work, besides
those who teach chemistry and other
subjects related to domestic science.
The rapid increase in the number of
students in this course has called for
= large equipment, and one Of the
Anest in this part Of the country has
bsen installed. The entire third floor
of the new science building is now
being used for kitchen, dining room,
sewing room and Office space.
Z Here students are not only taught
cooking, sewing and household econ
Omy, but quite as much emphasis is
placed on the methods involved in
teaching these subjects. And, while
the course is a comparative new one
ut the Normal school, the department
has already placed teachers in many
communities in this state. Among
these teachers are:
Hazel Stevens-ToWer City.
- Tflda NatWick-Minto.
Minnie Anderson-Leal.
Alma Berg-Uxbridge.
Agnes Meldah1-Oriska
Maude Willyard-Lisbon.

fIdted Normal Squad
Trains for Wahpet0n
MONDAYS GAME INvALU A1LE AS
PREPARATION FOR GAME
ON SATURDAY.

The Normal school football squad
spent an hour in light practice last
night, the first practice INDUCED in
since Mondays game. The men were
not called out on Tuesday evening
but were given a days rest to recover
from few slight bruises. With the
exception of Howard Barchus, who
suffered slightly wrenched ankle, all
of the men finished the game with the
heavy Jamestown team in good condi'
ton, and local supporters are looking
for repetition of Mondays score
against the Wahpeton team on next
Saturday.
Scarcity of substitutes made it nee
essary for Coach Rodewald to make
So many shifts on the first team that
the lineup after the injury of Barchus,
was that Of a team almost entirely
new to their positions. Morsbach,
mainstay of the line, was shifted from
center to fullback, Rogers was sent
from right guard to center, Clifford
Granger was sent completely across
the line from right end, while Glen
Granger was assigned to duty at
right guard. The right end position
was acceptably filled by Knokken, al
though this was his first experience
on the gridiron. a
coIIegians Win on Pass.
The play which enabled Jamestown
to score was nicely. executed for
ward pass to Schiess, who carried the
ball for touchdown from the forty
yard line. The Normals came back
strong a few moments later, Rogers
blocking a punt which bounded from
near the center of the field backward
to the eight yard line, where it was
recovered by Glen Granger. The ball
was carried across the goal line by
virtue of the line plunges of Bublitz
and Morsbach, and nicely played
end run by Wickstrom. The two
other touchdowns made by the Nor
mails resulted from an intercepted
forward pass by Wischtrom, and a
fumbled ball recovered by Bublitz.
While much credit for the success
of the Normal eleven is due to the
splendid playing of Bublitz and Mors-
bach on the offensive, and the splen-
did tackling of Fritch and Delaney,
the particular star of the game was
Ralph Wickstrom, whose excellent
generalship, finely executed forward
passes, and quarterback runs did
much to bring the ball within strik-
ing distance of the goal. For the Wis
itors, the spectacular work of Erick-
son eclipsed the playing of every
other member on the team.
While this is the first game played
by the Normals this season, the work
under adverse circumstances was
such as to encourage prediction for
an undefeated eleven during the sea-
son. Jamestown college has usually
been the hardest team to defeat, and
if weight counts Off anything, they
should have been the victors on Mon
day. Coach Rodewald has material
for a snappy eleven, and he will be
able to meet the predictions OF the
Normal followers for the best team
in the history of the local institution.

Warned by Unknown Friend.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 19.-Testify-
ing for the prosecution to-day at the
hearing of II aldermen and himself
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the city, Former Councilmanic Clerk
Edward r. Schreiter asserted that
July 9 he received a mysterious let
ter from Chicago in which the writer
declared a $4,000 fund had been
raised in an effort to ruin Schreiter
and members of the council, political
ly and financially.
Schreiter's declaration was the sen
sation of the hearing. He testified
the letter was signed "a Friend" and
that it specifically mentioned himself
and Thomas Gilman, president of
the council, and limited that other al
dermen were in danger of being the
victims. of a socalled political plot.
Schreiter and Gilman are among the
IS city officials alleged to have been
implicated in a plot to demand sew
eral thousand dollars from the Wa
bash railway in return for municipal
favors. An operative for national
detective agency who caused the ar
rest of the officials had already tes-
tilted he posed as an agent of the
railroad and succeeded in either brib-

promises to accept bribes before he
sprung the trap which resulted in
their arrests.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN FRISCO.
Man and Wife Killed by Formers
Brother who Then Slew Himself.

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-Arthur
Hall, known here until to-day as Ar
thur Knable, shot and killed his
brother, James J. Hall, in the latter's
downtown office late to-day and then
went to his victims apartments, ff-
teen blocks away, killed Mrs. James
]. Hall and committed suicide.
The tragedy brought the first dis
closure to friends of the family here
of the relation of the two men.
Family quarrels are said tC have
caused the shooting.
Arthur Hall, who was 20 years old,
was an employee of the San Fran
cisco Importation Company, a sub
sidiary concern of the st. Francis
Hotel, of this city. James j. Hall,
IS years old, was manager of the
company.
The elder Hall was slain while tel
ephoning to the office of the hotel.
The conversation was interrupted by
the snap of the receiver on Halls
end.
Hall has hung up," said the hotel
clerk to his assistant.
After a wait of few moments a
bell boy was sent to Halls office and
found him dead on the floor, bullet
wound near his heart.
Meanwhile, the slayer was ap-
preaching the Hall apartments on a
trolley car. Occupants of the apart
ment house heard two revolver shots
in Mrs. Halls room. They found the
bodies of Mrs. Hall and her brother
in-law on the floor. Mrs Hall had
been shot through the head. No out
cry had been heard and there were
no indications of struggle.
1t is believed the Hall brothers
concealed their relationship to avoid
difficulties with the hotel manage
ment, which might have arisen on
account of the elder Hall giving en-
ployment to a member of his own
family
While the quarrels between the
brothers, said to be for the most part
about trivial matters, frequently
caused comment among other hotel
employees, the nature of the dis
agreement which precipitated' to-
davis tragedy is not known. Arthur
Hall was melancholy and erratic, his
idiosyncracies having been caused, it
is said, by blow on the head about
nine years ago. Friends believe he
suddenly became insane and that this
explains the triple killing.

Petition to Save Robber Husband.

Atlanta, Sept. 18.-A unique plea
to save the fair name of a little BABY
which has not yet come into the
world is being made by Mrs. 0. e.
Roddy, the young wife of the famous
diamond robber who figured in the
Gilsey trunk case and is now serving
a six months sentence in the Atlanta
jail.
Mrs. Roddy is to become mother
soon. She says that she would give
her life rather than to have the child
born while it's father is in jail, and
she is circulating a petition, couched
in the most pathetic language, urg-
ing judges and court officials to aid
her in procuring a pardon or parole
for her husband.
Roddy and his wife are both young
and, refined people. They were still
bride and groom when the man, un-
able to make the money he needed,
yielded to temptation and stole the
Gilsey diamonds. Mrs. Roddy has
been loyal to him through his trial
and subsequent Imprisonment.

Federal Aid for Roads.

When the federal government was
formed and the constitution prepar-
ed, one of the functions reserved for
the government was the authority to
build and maintain post roads
through all the States. Once or twice
perhaps some little movement has
been made towards carrying this idea
into execution.
A bill making appropriations for
the postofice department lately pass
ed, carries five hundred thousand
dollars to build some preliminary
stretches of post roads for the pur-
pose of observing how much more
mileage may be made in the rural
delivery by one man than over the
average roads they now exist. Such
a sum of money would of course do
nothing but provide an experimental
stretch of road in few localities
These experimental roads are to be
built where the county or State is
willing to provide twice as much
money as the government provides.
Nevertheless, it may be the begin
ming of the governments undertak-
ing in the way of post roads as i'm
portant as as the governments work
in building harbors and waterways.
Ten million dollars year would be
a very small sum of money towards
putting all the post roads in good
order, even where some local help
was obtained from the State, county
or town. According to the terms of
the bill, State or county would
have to spend twice as much money
as the government would spend.
Thus, if the government would ap-
propriate and spend ten million dol
lars, the States and counties in which
the expenditures would be made
would have to put up twenty million
dollars, thus making total of thirty
millions annually by the government
and all the States and counties to-
gether. At five thousand dollars a
mile this would give the United
States about six thousand miles of
we'll finished macadam highways, or
it's equivalent, annually. This would
not bear heavily upon any particular
element or locality, and would prob
ably lead to an increased rate of
growth such as the benefits would
reveal.-Edgefeld Chronicle.

TROUBLE IN BARNWELL.
A Negro is Killed After Shooting
White Man.

Barnwell, Sept. 19.-As the result
of the probably fatal shooting OF
Hewlett Bates, white man, by ne
gro, Adolphus Jackson, and the sub
sequent killing of the negro near
Dunbarton, in this county, Yesterday,
it is feared that there may be general
rioting unless the officers of the law
are able to cope with the situation
and quickly get it under control. The
trouble started, it is said, when Bates,
together with two other men, went
to arrest the negro, who, with an
oath. making the statement that he
would die and go to hell before he
would be arrested" shot Bates in the
right side in the neighborhood of his
lung. There are two stories as to the
killing of the negro, one being that
he was shot by Bates while the latter
was lying on the ground, the other
that Bates's companions did the kill
ing.
Physicians were summoned from
Barnwell and Ellenton, but they gave
little hope of the wounded mans re-
covery. Preparations were made yes
terday afternoon to carry Bates to an
Augusta hospital this morning
should he still be alive, and he is now
in the hospital.
Indignation over the shooting was
high in Dunbarton yesterday after
noon and last night and that there
may be a general race riot there IS
not at all improbable, as the negroes
in that section are said to be'bad.
In response to a telegram received
this morning, Sheriff F. H. Creech
and a deputy left in an automobile
for the scene of the tragedy. 1t is
hoped that they will be able to con-
troll the situation and avert further
trouble.

GRAND JURY BRINGS CHARGES
Affairs of Lexington County in Bad
Shape, Says Report.

Lexington, Sept. 20.-Perhaps the
most interesting and sensational re-
port that has ever been made by a
grand jury in this county was pre-
sented to Judge S. w. G. Shipp by
the Lexington grand jury, when it
had completed it's business late yes
terday afternoon. The report charges
that the county chain gang is being
run in a very eXtravagant manner;
that in some instances claims are
paid without the proper probate, as
is required by law; that the road in
spectors have been derelict in their
duty; that the roads and bridges of
the county are in bad way and the
people are negligent in the matter
of working the roads; that liquor is
being sold in violation of law by the
so-called social clubs of the county,
and many other charges of a sensa-
tional and serious character are set
out in the presentment.

NEGROES RAISE ROW.
Interfere with Constable at Jackson.
boro in Conveyance of Prisoner.

WATERFORD, Sept. 18.-On Satur-
dav morning at Jacksonboro,, II.
Hodges made an attempt to arrest
Rufus Smith, negro, who was
charged with refusing to pay his poll
tax. Smith resisted arrest and was
shot by Mr.. Hodges, the bullet in
flicting only a flesh wound. Smith
then submitted to arrest and was
placed in the lookup at Jacksonboro.
Monday Mr.. Hodges attempted to
bring the negro to WATERFORD to
place him in Jail, and also to secure
for him medical attention. The ne
groes of the community assembled
and resisted the taking of the negro
to Jail, and as result Mr.. Hodges
had to leave him in the lookup at
Jacksonboro. He came on to Walter
boro and got Deputy Sheriff Benton
ito return with him, and they brought
the negro up Tuesday, and also Reid
White, another negro, who inter-
fered with the constable in the dis
charge of his duty, and was instru-
mental in melting the negroes to
resist the effort to bring Smith to
Jail.

FATHER AND SON SHOT.
j. l.. McLucas Surrenders to Sheriff
After Firing Shots.

Dillon, Sept. 18.-J. L. McLucas,
of Floydale, shot W. G. Hyatt and
his son to-day about noon in an al
tercation at McLucas's saw mill.
which is located near Floydale. They
we're both shot in the stomach, and
it is thought that the wound of W.
G. Hyatt will prove fatal. From
the evidence of spectators it is said
that Hyatt's son, David, struck Nc
Lucas with a hammer in the back of
the head, and as he did so the old
gentleman grabbed piece of scant-
ling and hit McLucas in the abdo-
men, knocking him almost down. At
this time both of the Hyatts jumped
on McLucas and had him down, when
he managed to draw his pistol and
shoot both of them.
McLucas is nephew of Maj. ]. D.
McLucas, of Marion, and is young
man of peaceful mind. The Hyatts
are both prominent and live in Latta,
where w. G. Hyatt conducts a pub
lie ginnery. McLucas telephoned to
Dillon for the sheriff. McLucas is
a cousin of G. Gordon McLaurin, of
Dillon, and is prominent in the saw
mill business.

s21 ACRES FOR HOBO COLONY.
Half Million Dollar Institution to be
Located in Dutchess County.

Gov. Dix announced that 821 acres
of land in Dutchess county, 20 miles
south of the Poughkeepsie, had been
selected for the State farm colony for
the rejuvenation of tramps and would
be bought for 100000.
The legislature last year made a
preliminary appropriation of $780,
900 to establish the new institution,
which will cost S15O,000. The site
chosen is not far from the abandoned
Wingdale State prison site. The gov
ernor says that he planned to use
the Wingdale prison site for a tramp
colony, but the site commission found
that the locality was conducive to
malaria, besides being poor for farm
ing purposes.
Practically all of the S21 acres Sc
lected is tillable. Here the tramps
who are sent from the cities and
towns will be employed in farming in
the same way as the large number
OF prisoners of the Great Meadow
prison at Comstock are kept at work
One effect of the establishment of
the tramp colony will be the lessen
ing of the numbers of vagrants locked
up in local jails, as the tramps can
be kept at the colony for an eigh-
teen months period.-The Scientific
American.

Worlds Oldest Museum.

DR.. Otto Kummel, head of the
East Asiatic department of the Ber-
lin Museum of Ethnology, tells of the
oldest museum in the world in the
bulletin of the Societe Franco
Japonaise. This museum may be
found in the city of Nara, the form
er capital of Japan. Since it's foun-
dation, in 756, it has gone through
all the changes of the Japanese en-
pire without one single addition to
it's collection. DR.. Otto Kummel is
one of the few Europeans who we're
permitted to visit the museum. 1t
opens it's doors but once year, on
a day in spring, when special COM
mittee inspects the collection, and a
new list is made out. The museum
contains about 5000 articles, which
are said to be the most beautiful
specimens of decorative work which
have ever been produced by human
hand, such as lacquer ware, decora-
tive furniture, enamel ware, cam
bric-like fabric, etc. The origin of the
majority of the articles is uncertain,
some came from China and others
from Corea, but most of them ap-
pear to be of a more exotic origin
All, however, came of time prior to
the year 756.-Scientific American.

cials haven't all become corrupt over night. Satan may not be on vaca- ton but there is no evidence that he is working overtime. Men are just what they have been for the past hundred years or so. The government is a pretty good sort of government after all and it's integrity is not threatened So, if we will just ap- praise these investigations at their real worth we may be able to sleep better at nights than we otherwise would. And this Investigating mania will run it's course after awhile, just like an epidemic of measles or whoop- ing cough and we will then settle down and proceed to forget all about it
