ALLEGED TRAIN WRECKER
HELD.
Robert Mack Given Preliminary ON
Charge of Attempting to Wreck
Train.

Robert Mack, colored, was given a
preliminary in Magistrate Wells office
Monday morning on the charge of at
tempted train wrecking. At the close
'of the hearing Mack was held by
Judge Wells for trial at the higher
court and remanded to Jail in default
of $500 bond, which he was not able
TO put up.
Mack was arrested at Mayesville on
the day before Christmas, when he
returned to that place to visit his
wife, whom he had not seen for sew
erul months. 1t is alleged that he
tried 20 wreck an A. c. l.. passenger
train by putting cross-ties on the
track. The two chief witnesses
against Mack were William Glanton
and Andrew Bennett, two colored de-
tectives who have been seen in this
city before when they worked up evil
dence in liquor cases against a num-
ber of negro blind tigers.
Bennett, stated on the stand that in
conversation with Mack the latter
had admitted to him that he had put
the cross ties on the track to wreck
the train, giving as his reason the
fact that one of the firemen on the
road had thrown a lump of coal at
him one day !n passing him.
The section master testified to see
ing Mack pass along the track on the
day the alleged attempt to wreck the
train was made and Detective Wheel
er OF the A. c. l.. force stated that he
had worked up the case and believed
Mack to have been the man who made
the attempt to wreck the train.
Mr.. l.. ID. jennings represented the
defendant and the State and railroad
were represented by M. Mark Rey-
nolds.

Rev. A. VI. Fraser. Native of this City.
Assists I'm Welcoming President
elect at StauntOn, Va.

The Rev. \. Nj. Fraser, pastor of
the Staunton, Va, Presbyterian
Church and formerly a resident Of
this city, was a very important as
sistant i'm furnishing entertainment
for President-elect Wilson's visit 10
his old home at Staunton.
The Rev. Mr.. Fraser was born in
this city and lived here until he grad
uated from college and left to take up

tives and countless friends in SUM
ter.
Mr.. Fraser attended college with Mr.
Wilson and now lives in the house in
Staunton, Va, in which Gov. Wilson
was born and lived as a boy. 1t was
natural therefore, that on making a
visit To his boyhood home Gov. Will
son should stay at the home OF MI.
Fraser.
In speaking OF Gov. Wilson's visit to
Staunton, The Baltimore Sun has the
following TO say:

NEGRO GITTEN BY MULE.
Had TO Kill Mule TO Get Arm Out of
Its Mouth.

Lincoln Taylor, colored, was bitten
Monday morning by a mule which is
supposed to have been mad, his arm
being so badly lacerated by the mules
| teeth that he had to be brought to the
city Immediately afterwards to have
| the wound dressed.
| Early in the morning Taylor sent
! his little boy to the stable to catch
the mule, but the boy returned in a
few minutes saying that the mule
| jumped at him so that he was afraid
of it. Taylor then went himself to
catch it, but was himself frightened
off by the mules peculiar actions He
called in several of his colored neigh
bors and Mr.. James Simons, the near
est white man to the place, came over
10 see the mule. Taylor and another
negro then again eSsayed to catch It
when the mule caught Taylors arm
between its teeth and held on to il.
Mr.. Simons struck the mule with q
stick and negro tried to prize the
mules mouth open with a pitchfork
handle, but unsuccessfully. More
strenuous efforts were then put forth
to make the mule release its hold on
the negro. The mule was struck over
the head with an AK and was finally
killed before the arm could be re-
moved from its mouth.
Mr.. Simons then brought the ne
gro into town, where Dr. Birnie eau
terlzed and dressed the wound. The
negro was in intense pain all the time
and even after the arm was dressed.
He was also very much afraid that
the mule was mad and that he would
have hydrophobia as a result Of the
lite. His arm was terribly lacerated
by the mules teeth, a big piece of the
flesh being torn out.
Monday afternoon a doctor was
sent TO examine the mule and to cut
off its head for further examination
by the state pathologist at Columbia.
1t is not known whether or not the
mule was bitten by a mad dog, and
a number OF other animals which
were in the same lot with the mule
may have been bitten by it during the
night, and much apprehension is felt
by the owners until an examination
can be made and definite information
obtained as tc whether or not the
mule was suffering from rabies.
The negro. Lincoln Taylor, who was
bitten lives at tatosburg on Mr.. W.
+. ShaW's plac, ana the mu'e be

IROF. TATE TELLS OF SWISS
SCHOOLS.
Close Relation Between Teachers and
Pupils-Teacher's Position

Washington, Dec. 3O.-'Nearly 50
Fer cent of the teachers in Switzer-
land are men," said W. X. Tate, su-
pervisor of rural schools in South Car
DINA, TO conference of educators at
The United States bureau of education.
Mr.. Tate has just returned from q
three-months Investigation in Switz-
erland under the auspices of the bu-
reau.
Five hundred dollars is consider
ei good salary for a teacher. After
a lifetime of service he may 20 as
high as $500. Living is cheaper there
than here, however, and in addition to
his salary he is furnished with a
dwelling, certain amount Of garden
land and wood for fuel. His dwelling
is generally in the same building with
the school. His position is of consi-
derable local Importance. Aside from
his duties in the Schoolroom he is Of
ten secretary of the local creamery as
sociation, leader Of the village band,
organist in the church, and general
intellectual guide for the community
When teacher is engaged for a
position, it is for life or a long term
of years. He settles down with the
people whose children he teaches and
generally expects to make that partic-
ular job his life work. And he stays.
Changes are rare. Twelve new teach
ers in one year in a system Of 240 was
considered very unusual. The record
for continued service in the same viii
lage is held by a teacher in Thurgau,
who has occupied the same position
for 65 years. One teacher that | Wis
tied has held his position for "a years
and his father held the same position
for 80 years before him.
'One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the Swiss schools is the cor
dial personal relation that exists be-
tween teacher and pupil There IS
nothing of the military in the disci-
pline of the school; no lineup; no
marching to classes. When the chill
dren go to the classroom they shake
hands with the teacher, greeting him
as if they had not seen hm for long
time and are really glad to see him
The whole relation is one of charming
naturalness and kindness on both
sides.
In the Swiss cantons school is in
session from s 10 in winter time,
with an intermssion of two hours at
noon Ohrec hours for the younger
childr"nD In summer the children
have to be at school at a. m
"Failurc to he promoted is rarn.
After the four years of elementary
training in the primary school, pre-
scrihcd for everybody, the children
proceed into schools that are carefully
differentiated for the various types Of
children Some of the children enter
upon a technical training; others are
sent through the gymnasium and ulu-
motcly to the university; and stul 9TH

any other suitable yasccr according -

Should Keep Naval
Students Together.

Washington. Sept S-The practice OF
distributing the first aud second classes
OF the Naval Academy among different
ba.tleships of the fleet for practice
cruise should be discontinued and the
former practice of keeping the entire
body of midshipmen together should be
resumed, in the opinion of the board OF
visitors to the Naval Academy which
has Just made its report H. secretary
Daniels. The instruction, discipline. lib
ertN and privileges vary in different
ships to which the miashpmen are as
signed, and in consequence the results of
the cruise as to efficiency, conduct and
knowledge gained are not ascertainable
with any degree of accuracy for eompar-
ison says the report
The board points cut that after having
been treated as junior officers aboard
ship for three months, the return to tile
rigid discipline and routine of academic
life on shore is irksone and likely to
cause discomfort and lack of interest. 1t
also is unquestionably true, says the
board of visitors. that the temporary
presence of the midshiBmen on the bat
tleships is disturbing to that ''perfec-
tion of organization FOR which American
battleslips are celebrated all over the
world
While no recommendation is made as to
whether the number of civilian profess
sors at Annapolis should be reduced, the
board is convinced that as long as the
custom OF employing such civilian profess
sors and Instructors is continued there
ployment upon a merit system, with sSs-
tematic promotion and increase of pay
and that all civilian instructors IN good
standing should receive n notice of not
less than three months before the close
OF the academic year Of any purpose &c
dispense with their services.
