Henderson-BroWn College Is
Destroyed By Fire-Local
Student Saves
Trophies

Fire at $50 o'clock Tuesday
morning destroyed h e main
buildings of Henderson Brown
college at Arkadelphia, causing a
loss of about $50, 10000 with $50
10000 insurance. The school is
the property of the Little Rock
conference, NJ. e. Church, south.
The girl students were saved
by the presence of mind of the
teachers, who marched them out
without any signs of panic. AS
soon as the alarm was given the
preceptress organized her teach
ers and commenced the work Of
getting the students out Of the
burning building. The girls
donned what wearing apparel
they could best get at, in the linn
tied time, and coolly marched to
safety, but when this was accom-
plished many of them were over
come by excitement
The ringing of the great bell of
the school quickly brought hun
dreds to the scene, and these,
aided by the young men students
of henderson Brown and Ouachi-
ia, removed nearly every trunk
and piano from the building.
But for the presence of mind
of Earl Berry, son of Rev. j. w
Berry Of this place, who was a
student of Henderson-Brown, the
loving cups and trophies of the
school would probably have been

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE
DEMAGOGUE.

1t turns out that McLaurin's an
nouncement of his withdrawal from
South Carolina politics the morning
after the Blease meeting during the
state fair, was not what Tillman
called his "swan song" but only
the first chapter of his lamentations.
Tillman came out in an interview
and as he (Johnny) says, put him
across his knee and spanked him,
until he "felt like saying damn"
Well, Johnny, old Ben has done
this thing quite effectively with
ali of his coat-tail swingers besides
you, with the exception of Cole
Blease. He (Coley) has proved too
wayward a child for Pa Ben. The
parent has said lamentingly, "He
stole from me the love and affection
of the one-gallus. wool-hat boys"
But never do you mind, Pa Ben. 1t
is true that your political course has
been run. But remember that day
Of reckoning will come for Coley too,

demagogue than he. who will turn

FOR DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
Mass-Meeting of Voters Held
Thursday Afternoon.

Pursuant to a call published in The
News, there was held in the court
house on Thursday afternoon, mass
meeting of the Democratic voters OF
the town of Lancaster.
On motion of Judge Ira b. Jones,
Mayor Ernest Moore was requested to

On motion of r. e. Wylie, Esq, a

the following officers were duly
elected: r. e. Wylie, president; w.
T. Gregory, vice president, John II.

On motion the secretary enrolled
fifty-five (55) members of the club
thus organized, and he was instruct
ed to add the names of any other
Democrats who might desire to be-
come members. On motion a COM
mittee of enrolment, consisting of
j. C. Elliott, w. p. Davis and r. S.
Stewart, was appointed by the presi-
dent.
After considerable discussion of
the question as to whether a mayor
and aldermen should be nominated
by convention or primary, Judge Ira

taken to have a primary for nomina-
ton of mayor and aldermen for the
town of Lancaster" After full dis

election. This committee was APP
painted as follows: r. f. Wylie, w.
j. Cunningham, Claud n. Sapp, w.
p. Robinson and r. S. Stewart.
The meeting was unusually we'll
attended, and, while there were some
honest differences of opinion among
members as to whether the conven-
tion or primary plan should be adopt
ed in nominating municipal officers,
the best of feeling prevailed among
the citizens present. There being no
further business, the club was ad-
journed to meet at the call Of the
president.

The Democratic mass-meetlng
yesterday did the right thing in de-
Gliding on a primary election for the
nomination of a Democratic ticket
for town officials to be put before the
voters in the general election. This
is what The News has been advocat-
ing for some time. The executive
committee of the club will fix an
early day for the primary and adopt
rules and regulations governing the
same. In the meantime let the voters
be considering seriously the names Of
the men to whom they will entrust
the affairs of the town for the next
two years.

THICK, GLOSSYHAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Beautify Your Hair! Make 1t
Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant-Try
the Moist Cloth.

Try as you will, after an applica-
tion of Danderine, you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most, will be
after a few weeks use, when you see
new hair, fine and downy at first
yes-but really new hair-growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance of abundance;
and incompatible lustre, softness
and luxuriance, the beauty and
simmer of true hair health.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knoklton's s
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all.

"THE EASE WITH WHICH THEY
ARE FOOLED

In his letter to the officers and
members of the Farmers Union, Mr.
c. s. Barrett, president of the Ma
tional Farmers Union, published
elsewhere in this issue, says, 81 give
it as my matured judgment that the
things most the matter with men who
till the soil is the ease with which
they are fooled" "And," says he
'he is unhappily fooled ninety-nine
times out of a hundred by the fellow
with an axe to grind"
President Barrett never told
palmer truth in his life. Some of
the farmers are the most gullible
people in the world. On election
years, the demagogues, strife-stirrers
and other fellows with "axes to
grind" go around appealing to their
prejudices and passions, getting
themselves voted into Office or attain
ing some other selfish end and leaving
the class which they pretend to bene-
ht in no better condition than when
they commenced their political tricks
Such men in the past have thrust
themselves into the old organization
i of farmers known as the Patrons of
Husbandry and Farmers Alliances
and Farmers Unions and have done
them to death. The two former have
altogether ceased to exist and the
local organization of the latter in this
county almost came to an end, and
is now being revived by State Secre-
tary Reid.
We call upon all the farmers of the
county to take part in the organiza-
ton Of the local unions and remain
permanent members thereof and see
to it that demagogues, ofice-seekers
and other "axe grinders" are kept
out. Much good has been accom-
plished in the past by organizations
of farmers, despite the scavengers re-
ferred to and more good can yet be
accomplished IL deaf ear is turned
to them. So let every farmer in the
county join his neighborhood union.

CONSERVATION MOVEMENT.
An Organization To be Establn he'd in
Every State.

Through an announcement made
recently in Washington il became
known that the National Conservation
Congress has arranged to establish so
organization in every state for the
first time in the history of the Con-
servation movement.
The state organizations are to be
under the direction of the Congress
and are being formed under a policy
that will give powerful impetus TO
the work Of the national body. Plans
have been made for nationwide actiy-
itY by the state organizations prior
to the fifth session Of the congress,
which is called to meet in Washing
ton November is, l9 and 20.
Through the machinery thus Great
ed the Congress expects TO be able TO
set in motion in the various states
concre te plans for putting into practi-
cal effect the conse rvation principles
for which the congress stands. Here
totore the congress has contented it.
self for the nest part with working up
public sentiment through its annual
meetings. In this it has been high
" successful. Each of the four great
annual m settings of the body has had
a noticeable effect on sentiment and
legislation.
The congress is already powerful
in its function as a clearing house
among the state conservation com
missions and the conservation COM
mittees of various uatioual oTgsniza-
tious. Through the Sc, and particu-
larly the latter, it has been able to
exert great influence. President
1 Charles Lathrop Pack feels that its
scope should become still broader.
/ To this end he has caused the state
organi7at to be perfected. Each
state organization will consist pri-
marily of a state vice-pTesident and
state secretary. Contrary to custom
these officials will not be mere figure
/ heads. Active men of known inhu-
ence have been selected and are COM
mitted to energetic application to
the work in hand. The vice-presi-
dent for Maryland is DR.. William
Bullock Clark, of Baltimore, aud the
| secretary is z. w. Besley, of Balti-
more.
