Triehromie Vision.

In recent discussion before the
British Royal society OF the phenome-
non Of "trichromic vision" the case Of
scientist known for his researches
In electrical science was described.
When looking at the bright spectrum
Of sunlight this scientist sees only
three colors-red, green and violet.
For him there is no definite color in
the part of the spectrum that appears
to persons with normal vision pure
blue. He can distinguish nothing Of
the nature of pure yellow In the spec
trum. Reddish green would describe
the orange and yellow parts and
greenish violet the blue parts as he
sees them. In testing with colored
yarns the wool changed color to him
when contrasted, although a normal
sighted person saw no difference
These facts show how different colors
may possibly appear to those about us.

Now, In order to practically better
our school system, we should appro-

in time the subjects will be covered

How to maintain our district

Depot Agent Killed.

Mullins, June 24.-News has reach
ed Mullins of a killing which occur
red yesterday afternoon at Eulonia, a
small station on the Seaboard, 1G

ting the deed was Sidney Allen. 1t is
said that Allen shouted: Il am Sid
ney Allen. Get me if you can"
He is from North Carolina, having
recently gone into that section. When

Parker Temporary Chairman.

The National Democratic conven-

ing, and the first fight came on the
election of a temporary chairman.
The national executive committee
had selected Judge Alton B. Parker,
of New York, as temporary chair
man, and he was opposed by Will
liam Jennings Bryan, who nominated
John w. Kern. Mr.. Kern Withdre"
and Bryan made the race himself
against Parker, and was defeated by
vote of $40 to SOC. The South
Carolina delegation voted solidly for
Bryan. The situation is confusing,
but no bitterness has characterized
the proceedings so far. Some people
insist that Bryan will again by the
nominee, but there is no telling what
will be done. Parker's speech to the
convention was in admirable temper,
and he alluded nicely to Bryan.

Mr.. Mason sued the railway compa-

was put off a train and placed under

at Westminster to go to Charlotte,
having procured a ticket in exchange
for mileage at the former station.
When the ticket collector came
through he asked Mr.. Mason to show
his mileage book on which the ticket
had been procured. This the plain

reached Greenville he was put on
