Stoll for Congress.

In Mondays News and Courier
appeared the following special dis
patch from Manning:
While attending court here last
week, Solicitor P H Stoll, of King,
stree, was asked if it was correct,
as rumored. that he would be a
candidate for Congress from his
district this year. He replied that
while he had the matter under con.
sideration, he had not yet decided
what course he would pursue. He
said he had been urged by a mum.
Der of his friends to enter the race,
and had been promised such cordial
support that he was seriously think
ing about it, but was not yet pre-
pared to make any announcement.
While Solicitor Stoll does not live
in the Congressional district in
which Clarendon county is situated,
yet from his long service as Solicitor
in the Third circuit he has many
friends here who feel an interest in
any political aspirations that he
might have.

Huah McCollum, Sr, Dead.

Blenheim, February 2: - Hugh
McCollum, Sr, one of the best men
in this section of the State, died at
his home near here last night, after
brief illness with paralysis, from
which he never rallied. Mr. McCol-
lum was a Confederate soldier in
the loftiest meaning of the term.
He was a prosperous planter, a
gentle, devoted husband and father,
a warm and helpful friend, a modest
and loyal Christian gentleman.
He was member of the Metho,
dist church at Parnassus, probably
the oldest of all the membership
He was 7S years of age. His wife
and six children survive him.
The funeral was held yesterday at
Parnassus church, in the presence OF
one of the largest concourses OF
people ever gathered here, Rev j S
Beasley, assisted by Rev Messrs J J
Douglas and ] G Richards, of the
Presbyterian church, officiating. MI
Beasley paid a tender tribute to the
dead mans character, speaking OF
him as a model Christian, citizen,
husband, father and friend.

As we understand it, when the
bill prohibiting white teachers 10
teach in negro schools in this State
came up in the House of Represent
atives Tuesday of last week the Will
liamsburg delegation (Mr Kellahan
being ABSENT voted to postpone the
bill indefinitely which means practi-
eally to kill it. We confess that we
are somewhat surprised at this vote,
as we do not believe that it reflects
the sentiment of the voters Of
Williamsburg county to have white
teachers teach in negro schools,
or negro teachers teach in white
schools.

atiyes Tuesday morning of last week.
After a heated discussion the bill was
passed to third reading, after being
amended to make the same penalty
applicable to the intimacy of races
in houses of i'll repute." The bill
passed to third reading by vote Of
ffty-nine to thirty-eight, which Is
as it should be, in our opinion;
only it puzzles us to know why there
were in the State Legislature thirty
eight men willing to see white
women teach in negro schools, a
condition that we honestly believe
is deprecated by the majority OF the
right thinking people of both races.
