FIELD DAY IN MANNING.
Events Planned for School Children
Of Clarendon.

Manning, Jan. 12.-The Clarendon
county Teachers Association met
here yesterday morning IN joint ses-
sion with the School improvement AS
sociation of the county. After an in
teresting discussion of manual training
and the advisability of making it a
part of the course of study in schools,
the president Of the Improvement AS
sociation outlined plans for a field day,
To be held in April. In addition to
literary events, such as contests in
spelling and reading, ii is proposed to
give prizes for things the pupils them
selves may make. 1t is hoped that
this field day may interest people
throughout the county in present ed
ucational needs, and it is planned to
make II yearly event. The School
Improvement Association has already
done much for this county, and it is
at present actively engaged in pro-
noting a bill for passage in the ap-
preaching session Of the Legislature
to prevent the continued inexcusable
absence from school Of white children
between the ages of and 13 years
Many prominent men in the county
have expressed themselves as favor
ing such a measure, and a petition for
its passage will be presented through
the Legislative delegation from this
county.

MAY USE PUSH CARTS.
Parcels Post Growth Demands More
Facilities for Handling.

That the use Of the parcels post by
merchants and the residents of rural
routes, particularly, and the patrons
OF the postoffice generally will have
SO increased soon that extra facilities
for handling this class Of matter will
be needed is the opinion Of Postmas-
ter Geo. d. Shore. A push cart de-
livery may be instituted soon, said Mr..
Shore, or If the business demands it,
an automobile may be hired as is the
case in Columbia
At the present time Mr.. Shore said
that the Postmaster General is leav-
ing each postmaster free to deal with
the increased business as he sees TT,
and the local postoffice is now using
their special delivery messenger as a
promptly.
People are slowly but surely realiz-
ing the benefits Of the parcels post
and Mr.. Shore stated to a reporter
that eggs fresh meat and other
country products had aready been
handled at the local office. Merchants
are using the service for shipping
clothing and other wearing apparel to
customers.
Already Mr. Shore is in communi-
cation with manufacturers of official
parcels post delivery carts, but he
does not intend making any definite
arrangements as to the purchase of
any until the increased business war
rants it.

Wireless" Across the Ocean.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 1.-THE
wireless station on Anastasia Island
near here, has been in communication
with Eiffel Tower in Paris and Hon

DREAD DISEASE IN ANDERSON.
Case of Cerebro Spinal Meningitis
Has Been Discovered on Plantation
I'm the County.

Anderson, Jan. ia case Of cere-
bro spinal meningitis has developed
on the farm Of Paul Earl, IA miles
southwest of this city and four miles
from the Georgia State line, the pa
uent being the 5-year-old daughter
OF a negress named Leila Hardy.
DR.. j. y. Land, who was called to
see the child for the first time Fri
day stated tonight that he noticed
symptoms of this disease yesterday
morning and that the symptoms be-
came more fully developed today. He
is firmly of the opinion that the dis
ease is cerebro spinal meningitis but
is not prepared to say whether it is
OF the sporadic or epidemic kind.
He will report the case officially to
State health officer, DR.. Hayne, imme-
dlately and DR.. Hayne will probably
come to Anderson tomorrow. The case
was brought to the attention Of the
grand jury attending the court of ses-
sions today. Mr.. Earle, on whose
place the case has developed, happens
TO be member Of the grand jury and
he says that everything possible is be-
ing done to prevent the disease from
spreading. The grand jury instructed
County Supervisor Milford to estab-
lish two guards at the county's ex-
pense for effective and complete quar-
antine.

SPlTS BULLET OUT.
MAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Ey-

SILE.
Peculiar Feature of Accidental Shoot
Inf. Bullet Enters Mans Nose and
Leaden Messenger Comes out
Through His Mouth.

To spit out a bullet with which one
has been shot is a feat that is pos
sibly performed once in a hundred
years, but it is a feat that was per-
formed with all ease by Ed. Rich
ardson, colored, when he was acci-
dentally shot by another young ne
gro named Rodgers yesterday after
noon.
The two men were on friendly
terms; they were at a store near Mile
Branch Monday afternoon and Rodg-
ers was standing in the door showing
richardson, who was in front of him,
the workings of his pistol. Suddenly
the gun was accidentally discharged,
the bullet entering Richardson's head,
just below the left nostril. It's prog
ress was stopped when it reached the
back Of his mouth and he :rlme-
diately spit it out DR.. Birnie, who
attended Richardson stated that the
bullet was twisted beyond recognition
as bullet. He said that Richardson
had apparently sustained no serious
injury and would doubtless recover
shortly from his narrow escape.

TILLMAN ON PRIMARY.

Replies to Criticism of His Letter to
General Assembly Urging Safeguard
for Primary and Declares that
Honestly Conducted 1t is Best So
luton.
Washington, Jan. IA day or two
ago the New York World had an edi-
torial criticising Senator Tillman's
open letter to the legislature of South
Carolina. Senator Tillman today re-
piled to this in his usual terse but
forcible way. The editorial in ques-
tion was as follows:
Senator Tillman has addressed to
the general assembly of South Caro-
lima an appeal for legislation to safe
guard primary elections on the
ground that if the primary .e not re-
formed there will be two parties in
South Carolina, as in other States, and
that in the struggle between them the
negro vote will be modified and cleo
tions determined by bribery. To add
strength to his appeal he says that
it may be the last he will ever address
to the legislature, as he may die be-
fore another election for senator
comes
Under the solemnity of this plea,
the letter will doubtless be read with
more attention than is usually given
to political advice. Nor will the at
tention be wasted. The argument is
a striking illustration of a ruling pas
sion strong to the verge of the grave,
But it is common to the blind given
by one who won't see. The greatest
evenc in the South today is that of
unnatural politics of government by
a single party, held together by race
prejudice. The best thing that could
befall Souh Carolina would he divis-
ion Of her people into two well-bal-
anced parties. 1t would be far better
than any possible primary reform
that cntailed the continuance Of the
existing system. The senator's coun-
sci, while consistent with his career,
is inconsistent with the wisdom that
should come with age"
To this Senator Tillman replied:
My attention has been called to
your editorial Of the 10th, Bad Coun-
sci From Senator Tillman,' criticising
my recent open letter to the general
assembly Of South Carolina urging
legislation for the protection of the
primary system in our State.
The World is a great Democratic
newspaper and its views always COM
mand attention they deserve.

\ FOOTBALL ROMANCE.
Marriage Followed Meeting, Now
College Is Worried.

West Point, N. Y, Jan. 12.-Cadets
at the United States Military Acad-
emy spe oulated today upon what ac-
ton the Authorities would take over
the marriage of one Of the cadets yes
terday IN violation Of the rule that
cadets are not permitted to marry.
The romance in question is that Of
Elmer z. Adler, a sergeant who,
dressed in uniform, was married at
TarrytOwn, to Miss Florence E. Davis,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Harry ],
Davis, of Buffalo. Adler came from
Billirgs, Mont, and was in his third
year at West Point.
Miss Davis met Adler at a footban
game more than year ago. She had
attended a number of dances here
and was highly regarded, while Adler
himself was one of the most popular
cadets AZ West Point.

Insane Man Hanged Himself.

Columbia, Jan. 11.-Some time dur
ing last night Benjamin Bryant, a
young man inmate of the State Hos
pital for the Insane committed suicide
by hanging himself
He tied the sheet Of his bed around
his neck and fastened it to the bars
guarding the ventilator over the door
after which it is supposed he jumped
from his bed and died of strangula-
ton.
AT midnight an attendant, thinking
that all was not we'll. went into the
room OF the young man and found him
suspended by the neck, and dead.

ing age in the State exceeds the
whites. All Of these are not eligible to
register but more and more are be-
comin6 so every day. The Ignorance
and natural depravity Of the negro
race wholly units them to participate
in government. While our condition
IN south Carolina is not ideal by any
means, TO have white men struggling
Tor the mastery with the negroes. as
the balance Of power, say $4,000 Of
them, would be anything but pleasant.
Can you imagine any more prolific
held for corruption and bribery? If
we could have the voters Of the State
divide into two well balanced par
ties, it would be far better than the
condition We are now in. That is lust
"hat occurred in the last primary.
But there was enough irregular and
fraudulent votes TO cast suspicion on
the pr nary White men will not toll
crate T., continuance Of any such con-
ditions.
Il am urging the general assembly
TO remedy it by legislation. You say
1t is not necessary and you know alb
solutely nothing about it, but are
theorizing about government on gen.
eral principles. 1 know whereof I
spsak. You are guessing. The ne
groes ought never to have been given
the ballot. Many Republicans in con-
gress now acknowledge this. But they
have 1he ballot and we can not take it
away unless the North takes the initia-
tive to repeal the 14th and 18th
amendments. The white primary
honestly conducted is the best solu-
ton OF our troubles.
In some Northern States ignorant
foreigners, who know absolutely moth
ing about American ideals and Amer
lean history, and can not either read
or write the English language, control.
There money gets in its dirty work of
buying congressman and electing SEN
ators by dabauched legislatures. The
South has had none of this SO far, but
if YOU counsel should be followed we
would soon have enough of it and to
spare. Which is the better, honest
white primaries or corrupt legislators
elected by negro voters bought at the
polls like cattle? We want the first;
you want the latter-or that is what
your argument leads us to-"
