SENATOR VERNER's STORY.
1t illustrates Very Strikingly the
Value Of An Education.

To the Editor of The Charleston
News and Courier: The following is
an extract Of State Senator f. f..
Verners letter TO the Walhalla Keo-
wee Courier. published in the News
and Courier Of February 2S:
"WhCn going home one day last
winter met banker. He knew that
| had taken an active part in killing
4 compulsory school attendance bill
He said that a young man came to
his bank to borrow money; that he
had to make his mark on the note
could not sign his name--and that
was his reason for wishing to COM
pei children to go to school. ! asked
him what rate Of interest he charged
the young man. He wiggled about
and finally stammered out II per
cent. asked him which he thought
the greater enemy Of this govern
ment, the rich man who stole from
the poor or the poor man who, by
reason Of not stealing, was not able
to send his child to school?"
Mr.. Werner has preached a splendid
sermon in favor of compulsory edu-
cation, contrary to his motive in
writing. The fact that there are
young men all over the State like
the one In the afOre-named incident
should be an incentive in making
those people of South Carolina "who
believe in equal rights for all and
special privileges to none" do all in
their power to give these sons n fair
chance.
And now, Mr.. Editor, it is all a
humbug about the fathers inability
to send his child to school. Cheap as
col cnt
keep his child home to work over
seven hours out Of a day, over five
days out Of a week and over five
months out Of year, he's got no
business with family. He is un-
worthy of the name "father" and
should forfeit his parentage to the
State. That class of our population
who claim to he unable to send their
boys and girls s"to school do not know
whether they are or not. They have
never tried it. They usually belong
to the loating, tObacco-spitting, yarn
spinning gang who idle away their
time while their offsprings are dwarf
ing both body and intellect at hard
labor and menial drudgery. They
should at least experiment.
Now, know that this is too late to
do any good at the present, but it
may help in preparing the readers Of
this paper for the future.
Very sincerely, w. Ward.

Hope to Rebuild Convent.

Washington, March 12.-Repre-
sentative Lever introduced a bill in
the House to-day directing the Sec.
retary OF the Treasury to pay $780,
600 to the Ursulinc Convent, at CO.
lumbia, S. c., for the destruction of
the convent by Federal troops under
cen. Sherman in 1865. Many cor
roborative documents were filed with
the Dill. MIR. Lever is pushing the
claim, not only because he believes it
1uSt, but because he wishes to es-
taDlsh in the national records the
ruth OF history as to who burned
columbia. There is widespread
impression in the North that Confed-
crate troops did it.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result. and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Dramatic Sequel to Disappearance of
Chicago Lawyer.

Chicago, March 12.-Dramatic Sc
Quel to the mysterious disappearance
of Horace Greely Clarke, prosperous
Chicago lawyer and board Of trade
operator, from a lake boat twelve
years ago took place in morgue at
Cudahy, Wis, to-day when the body
OF railroad section laborer was
identified as that of Clarke's.
The lawyer disappeared from the
boat on June 2S. 1902. He was trav-
cling with his young bride. A coun-
try-wide search for him was unsuc-
cessful and finally it was decided he
had fallen from the steamer and was
drowned. Clarke's sister, Mrs.
Carson, Of Iowa City, made the iden-
tification. An accidental overdose of
n drug had caused the mans death,
physicians said.
Mrs. Carson could learn but little
about her brothers strange disap-
pearance. Seemingly he had lost his
memory. He had been in various
parts Of Wisconsin for years and was
known at Cudahy as Harry Harrie."
For years he had been a drug user.

STRANGE DISEASE KILLS BEES

The bee men of this valley arc
considerably exercised over a
strange malady that is destroying
hundr eds of stands of bees through
out the district. Harry Warren,
one of the largest honey shippers in
the State, is heavy loser up to
date. He cannot tell what the
trouble is rs no work on bee cul-
tufe seems 10 fit this case. The
bees will go unt apparently we'll in
the morning and come back again
full Of honey and drop dead. Mr..
Warren has sent number of dead
bees to experts to see what is caus-
ing the frightful mortality. The
outlook this season was good for a
splendid honey crnp until this
strange rnaIady began to play
havoc with the swarms but now it
appears that the bee men will be
lucky if they save few stands of
bees, let alone producing any
honey. --Yerirg!on Times.

GRAFT THAT IS TREASOnABLE

1t is officially stated at Washing
ton that no defective steel was
used in the construction of the
great ca'al locks at Panama. The
reason why n monumental work cs.
capped this peril lies in the fact that
defective beams and plates evident
ly designed for purposes of fraud
were detected by competent in
spectors and rejected.
This much to the discredit of
tho celebrated "blOwhole" steel in
dustry Of Pittsburg seems to be es.
tablishcd. Somebody in that long
protected enterprise appears to
have been willing to make money
not only at the expense of the per-
son and property using the canal
but, in case of the emergency of
war, at the risk of national honor
and safety. Acting upon this infor-
nation, n federal grand jury at
Pittsburg recommends the indict-
mcnt of various persons for nm at
