A Laudable Gift.

The gift of an athletic field to the
Carlisle Fitting School, at Bamberg,
by w. D. Rhoad, of that town, is an
nounced. Mr.. Rhoad is now causing
the three and half acres of land
to be put into condition for sports
and a stand will be built, so that it
is expected that the school will in
short time have an athletic field
equal to that of any institution OF
South Carolina.
The gift is a most laudable one.
To a high school a playground is
essential. One may scarcely think OF
a good school nowadays without a
field for baseball and football. Mr..
Rhoad has set an excellent example.
Meantime, sites for public schools
should always include ample play
grounds. The education of the boy
and girl in wholesome sports is a
most important part of education.-

LITTLE CHILD'S BODY FOUND.
Chattooga River Gives up its Dead
and Solves Mystery.

ChaCCOOSa h1E0r UlfcS up Reo Doee~'
and Solves Mystery.
A dispatch from Walhalla says the
mystery of the disappearance of the
little four-year-old child from the
Pine Mountain, Ca, section has been
solved.
Last Monday week the little body
was washed to the banks of the
Chattooga river, and it was discover
ed by people in that section, who,
though having given up active search
for the child, were still alert for any
clue that might lead to its finding.
J. C. Powell, of the Russell section,
was in Walhalla Tuesday, and re-
ported the facts as above given. The
body, it is said, was in fair state
of preservation, though it is now
three weeks since the child disap-
peared.
While the mystery of the where
abouts of the child is cleared up, still
it is cause for wonder and specula-
ton as to how the little one got in
to the river, as the Chattooga is be-
tween two and two and half miles,
at it's nearest point from the home
of the child's father, John Owens.

KILLS DETECTIVE AND ESCAPES.
Search for Chicago Automobile Ban
dts End i'm Tragedy.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-A climax to the
search for members of the automo-
bile bandit crew came today with
the shooting and killing Of Detective
Hart, supposedly by one of the ban
dts.
The detective was shot through the
heart when he entered a fiat at L.
CIT South Wabash avenue to arrest
bob" Webb, said to be an accom-
plice of James B. Perry, confessed
bandit, now under arrest.
After shooting Hart, the assassin
leaped through a window to an ad-
joining roof, ran the length of the
block, went down a stairway and es-
capped in a crowd.
knowledge that Webb had wo-
man friend in the fiat led the police
to watch the place. Arrangements
were made with an occupant of an
other fiat in the building to notify the
detectives if Webb should come.
Hart was told this afternoon that
Webb was there, and the detective
hurried to the place. Evidently he
encountered his slayer soon, for 9th
er detectives, attracted by the sound
of shot, arrived in the fiat within a
few minutes after Hart did and
found him near death. He died be-
fore they could call doctor.
The woman in the fiat was arrest
ed, and was identified as Miss Isa-
bella Hastings, a sister of Mrs.
Michael Casella, whose husband was
witness to the shooting. Accord
ing to Casella, Detective Hart was
holding Webb on the floor when
Webb obtained Hart's revolver and
shot him.

This was received Tuesday, and now
some of the members don't want to

domination of the legislature. The
whole matter is to come up to-day
Thursday for disposal.

BLEAsE BLOCKS MLITIA's TRIP
Will Not go to Washington if He
Can Prevent.

Columbia, Jan. ia number of
the military companies in the State
have made preparations to attend the
Inauguration of President Woodrow
Wilson on March 4, among the COM
panies reported as having made these
preparations being several from
Charleston and Columbia. Some
have already arranged everything,
and this morning a report gained cir
culation that the governor was not
going to allow them to attend the
Inauguration, it being necessary for
his permission before they could go.
Gov. Blease was asked this morn
ing about the report, that without a
formal invitation he would not let
the military companies go to WASH
ington to attend the Inauguration, 1t
being stated to the governor that 1t
was understood that a good many
companies had made arrangements
to attend the inauguration, and that
it was not usual for them to receive
formal invitations.
The governor said that no formal
invitation had been extended and that
unless such was Forthcoming he
would not permit the militia to go to
Washington, if in his power to pre-
vent, and that he had declined to
sign the adjutant generals order to
that effect
The governor stated as further
reason for his attitude that Capt
William E. Gonzales, of Columbia,
would have control of the South
Carolina part of the Inauguration;
that it was his opinion that Mr.. Con-
zales would, if possible, place the
governor. as commander-in-chief OF
the State militia, in an embarrassing
position. and that. he did not wish
the State troops to suffer thereby.
Asked if his prohibitive stand IN
cluded the Citadel and Clemson, the
governor said he did not kno"
whether or not he had authority
over these institutions, but If so, ne
would prevent the cadets going tc
Washington.

SCHOOL TEACHER WAS ILL.
Miss Scotia Brown, of Kershaw, Ex-
plains Absence.

Hartsville, Jan. 15.-There was no
mystery or sensation at all, it appears
about the absence or so-called disap-
pearance of Miss Scotia Brown, of
Kershaw, who teaches the Films
Crossroads school near this place,
and who did not report back for
duty at the expiration of the Christ
mas holidays. 1t has been matter
of much distress and modification to
the young lady that any public COM
ment was made about it at all. Miss
Browns statement of the matter is
as follows:
Miss Browns Story.
She left home in Kershaw on the
31st of December to go via Camden
to visit friend, Miss Raley, at Nc
Bee, until the opening of her school
on the 9Th of January. While in
Camden between trains she met a
friend and college mate, Miss Turn
er, of Hamlet, who was then on her
way to Jonesville to visit married
sister, Mrs. W. F. Jenkins. Miss
Turner persuaded her to accompany
her to Jonesville for few days WIS.,
it, after which she intended to go
to McBee, as planned, and thence to
Hartsville in time for her opening
exercises at school.
Was Taken Ill.
On January Miss Brown was
taken seriously sick at Jonesville,
and was in bed, constantly attended
by physician until the 10th. I'M
mediately on being taken sick she
wrote to the trustees advising them
of the fact and warning them that
she might not get back in time. This
letter has never come, however, and
it was in consequence of no word
from her and her not appearing for
duty that the trustees made inquiry
about her and the thing given pub
licity.
On getting better Miss Brown wir-
ed an assistant to say she was better,
but still unable to come, and to car
ry things along at the school few
days longer, unconscious of the fact
that her first letter had been lost.
On her recovery she came here imme-
diately and was surprised and mortl-
fed to find that her unavoidable ILL
ness and detention had been made
into a sensation, of which she had
not known a word until her arrival
here. These are the facts IN the
case, with names and dates which
may be easily substantiated.
MIR. Jenkins's Telegram.
In answer to a wire Miss Brown
sent to Jonesville for confirmation
of her illness and detention there,
the following telegram is self-ex-
planatory: Received at $40.
Jonesville, S. c., 16.
Miss Scotia Brown. Hartsvllle, 5.

Your message delayed. Miss Scot
ia A. Brown was visiting at my home
and was sick in bed from January 2
until January 10. Unable to go to
her school. The letter she wrote to
trustees was mailed. w. F. Jenkins.

REGARDED AS AN INSULT.
TILLMAN'S REPLY CREATES STIR
AMONG LEGISLATORS.
Senator Carlisle Would Not IncOr-
porate Attack by Blease and Re-
ply by Tillman in Records.

Columbia, Jan. PA stir was
created in the State senate this morn
ing when United States Senator Till
mans reply to the attack made on
him by Gov. Blease, was read, in
which the senator characterized the
governor as the greatest demagogue
of the age, and charged that Col. B..
L. Abney manipulates the liegisla-
ture and that Gov. Blease is a close
friend of the Southern Railroad.
Senator Carlisle voiced the vigorous
resentment of the senate to the as
PERSONS cast upon them in Senator
Tillman's statement and said that the
senator's charge with reference to
Mr.. Abney manipulating the senate
was untrue.
No Place for Vituperation.
II don't believe the records of the
senate should be burdened with
the viteuperative abuse passing
between Senator Tillman and Gov.
Blease," said Senator Carlisle. He
argued for the sake of the history
of the State and her fair reputation,
that the senate ought to refuse to
print in it's journal either Gov.
Blease's bitter attack or Senator Till
mans vitrolic onslaught on the gov
ernor. whether Senator Tillman is
a scoundrel as Gov. Blease says that
he is or whether Gov. Blease is a
lunatic as Senator Tillman says that
he is, this senate is not concerned,
but hope for posterity's sake that
both of these distinguished gentle
men are wrong in their estimation OF
each other" remarked the Spartan
burg senator, who contended that the
senate should not be taken up with
private quarrels between these two.
Senator Carlisle characterized the
message of Senator Tillman as a
gratuitous insult to every member
| of the senate, when he said that
Ben -Abney could make the senate do
his bidding"
Print Both, Says McLaurin.
Senator McLaurin did not think
that the senate had the constitution
al right to refuse publication of the
governors message and in spite OF
the fact that it did have the right to
refuse publication of Senator Till
mans statement he thought it best
to print both of these communlca-
tions and then frown down on any
similar messages in the future. Sen
ator Laney agreed with Senator Car
Isle that the senate should not be
the place for the washing of the po-
litical linen of these two officials and
as a place for the battle ground OF
their past political quarrels, but he
thought that the governors message
was with reference to a recommends
ton he had made in his annual mes
sage
To be Considreded Thursday.
Senator Clifton wanted to settle
the matter to-day. Senator Nlchol'
son did not agree with the vitupera'
ton in either message, but thought
it a matter of simple justice that as
the senate had printed the message
attacking Senator Tillman from Gov
Blease it ought to print the senator
reply. Finally on the urging of sew
eral senators the matter was post
poned until Thursday, when it prom
ises to cause hot fight.
