Many man and woman goes

and financial loss.
In olden times calomel used tt

But there were many sad cases Of

During the past week grass and all

warm weather and the gentle rains
have spread a mantle of green all

have stopped feeding their cattle and
the entire country has a spring like

Contrary to the opinion of many, clo-

ALLEGED THAT NEGRO
CHILD WAS KILLED
BY FOSTER FATHER
CROSS BRIDGES CITIZENS SWEAR
OUT WARRANT AGAINST
OTEY TINDELL.
DEFENDANT NOW In COUNTY JAIL
Upon Being Exhumed, Body Shows
That Shot Entered Back of Head
and That Brutal Blows Had Been
Inflicted Upon It.

Great indignation has been aroused
in the Cross Bridges section by the
alleged murder of a little four year
old negro girl by her stepfather, Otey
Tindell. 1t will be recalled that when
the affair was was reported in The
Herald several days ago, it was said
that the killing was accidental, as
the child had struck the pistol on the
mantle and exploded it, killing her
instantly.
However, the suspicious of some of
the neighbors were aroused, and they
called it to the attention of Esq. John
B. Brooks, who instituted an investi-
cation of the matter. By his order,
the body was exhumed and DR.. Bled-

he had been for the past few days or
what his business was. He seemed
to be entirely at ease and not worried
In the least about the matter. 1t
fact, it seemed that he was about the
coolest man in the whole town.
Speculation is rife now as to wheth-
er the money is really in the Phoenix
Bank. The attachment of the Chat
tanooga and Lewisburg banks lead
some to the conclusion that the attor-
ney of Charles Gordon is in doubt as
to whether it is really here, as was at
first thought. Others incline to the
opinion that Jones has never deposit
ed it in any bank, and that it is hid
den out where he alone knows, and
that his movements have been but to
throw the opposition off the trail and
confuse them as to what has really be-
come of it.
There are still others who are of
the opinion that there has never been
any money found and that big hue
and cry has been raised about nothing
at all. Some of them are so cock
sure about it that they are willing to
bet real money that there will never
be a cent that will come out of the
whole affair.

H-MAy0R Of CITY
DISCUSSES ISSUE Of
THE SCHOOL BONDS
&. YoEST TALKS OF WHY 1T is
NECESSARY TO MAKE $4,000
APPROPRIATION.
WOULD NOT INCREASE TAX RATE
Sum Would Be Expended in Building
New School, Equipping 1t, Repair
ing and Enlarging Andrews School,
and Making Additions to Negro.
(By E. Yoest.)

IAN election has been called on
April 18th to vote on the question Of
allowing tle city of Columbia to is
sue $4,000 in bonds for the purpose
of erecting new school buildings. We
find most of our people cannot vote
on this proposition intelligently on
account of the lack of information as
to how this money is to be expended.
There seems to be a prevalent i'm
preston that the present buildings
will be torn down and the entire
school concentrated in the new build
ing. This impression is erroneous.
The board of education wants to ex-
pend about $4,000 in the erection of
high chool building on the Athenae-
UNI grounds and $4,000 in equipping
the same. This building is intended
for the high school proper, with the
departments of mechanical arts, COM
merce, agriculture and domestic
science. In addition to the high
school probably some of the higher
grades of the grammar school will be
taken care of in this building. This
will relieve very materially the over
crowded condition Of the present
buildings and enable US to take care
of the rapidly increasing attendance
for many years to come.
! "The Andrews building being badly
overcrowded makes it necessary to re-
lieve the situation there by either en-
larging the present buildings or
erecting another building on the same
grounds. The cost of the much need
ed building at the Andrews school
will probably be $4,000 We find the
same overcrowded condition at the
colored school, and to relieve this will
probably require the expenditure of
$4,000. To give an idea Of the in
crease in attendance, ten years ago
the total attendance in the public
schools Of Columbia was between six
and seven hundred, while today it is
between twelve and thirteen hundred.
1t has been necessary from time to
time to utilize al vacant space that
could be transformed into desk room
while in an up-to-date school building
every child should have at least 200
cubic feet of pure air to breathe. This
Is utterly impossible with the existing
over crowded condition of our build
ings
Eve have heard some objection to
the bond issue for fear of increasing
taxation. The record shows that it
has cost the city from one thousand
to fifteen hundred dollars per annum
for many years to change the interior
of the present buildings and obtain
more space by adding additional
rooms. This expenditure will cease
and can be added to the interest &C
count on the bonds besides other rev.
enue is received from high school pu-
pills coming here from other coun-
ties which will doubtless increase
when the high school has been erect
ed, thus relieving the tax payer of
any additional taxation by reason of
the bond issue.
superintendent Harris will be glad
to have the patrns visit the schools
and see for themselves the dire ne,
cessity for additional buildings"

shouted:

some cream"
His loose hand fastened on O'Hair's
arm. The Illinois congressman
reached over and took the pitcher. He

ANNIVERSARY CRATER
BATTLE OBSERVED
Most Notable Conflict OF Virginia
Campaign Fought SO Years Ago.

Petersburg, Va, July 30.-Survivors
of the Battle of the Crater, which took
place on the outskirts of this city July
30, 1864, gathered at the battlefield
today and Joined in an appropriate
observance of the fiftieth anniversary
of the engagement. The programme
consisted largely of historical address
es and was carried out under the
auspices of A. P. Hill Camp, Sons of
Confederate Veterans.
The Battle of the Crater was one
of the most notable Of the Virginia
campaign, as 1t delayed the surrender
of the Confederate troops for nearly a
year. Gen. Grants men drove tun-
mel 900 feet long beneath a hill on
which Confederate forces were
massed and planted 5000 pounds of
powder. When this was exploded PIG
Confederates were killed, but the
forces in gray under the late Gen. Ma.
hone repulsed the four divisions OF
Grants army with casualties of 4,40O
Federals and 922 Confederates. A
bill providing for the creation of a
national park at the site of the battle
is now pending in Congress.

Biloxi, Miss, July 30.-The veterans

proved late Tuesday they are good
heroes yet.
When one of the buildings on Judge
Thad Woods place, near the soldiers
home caught fire, the old VETS" thirty
or forty strong, rushed to the rescue
with a whoop not unlike the famous
rebel yell' and in a few minutes
extinguished the flames.
Several of the soldiers are past Sc
years of age, but they were as spry
as the younger members of the fire
fighting brigade. One of the number
however, became confused and pick
ed up pail of coal oil which was
standing near and threw it on the
flames.
The coal oil had been used about
the Woods place as a disinfectant
but the old wet" thought it was water
There was a second burst of flame
but with renewed energy the soldiers
succeeded in extinguishing the flames

the running when political cam
paigns are on.
The whole spectacle is unfortunate
and until public sentiment is suffi-
cietlv aroused to put an end to the
practice, about all we can do Is 10
rub our "eyes and calculate. On.
Helir In the present campaign for
governor, as stated in your editorial.
there are two ex-convicts in the run
ing marching side by side with AL
Jennings.
Since we have an ex-convict on
the supreme bench, why not pnt an
exconvict in the executive chair?
1t IS hardly probable that Al Jen-
nngs, the ex-convict who IS seeking
gubernatorial honors would make
any greater failure as a governor
than either of the two governors we
have had since statehood.
II is no justification TO say the eX-
convict now serving as a justice of
the supreme court has reformed ana
is now making a good citizen.
1t is doubtless true the ex-conyict
now campaigning for governor has
also reformed and has repented for
his past conduct.
When the man who has once worn
the stripes is given his liberty and
his freedom, it is TO be expected OF
him that he has reformed that he
has repented and that he has resoly-
ed to he a better man, All this, how
evr, does not entitle him to receive
the emouments nor wear the nom
ors Of an office.
When it comes to the filling of a
public trust, all X-convicts look alike
to me, and if we view them in any
other light or in the abundance OF
our liberalty clothe them with the
paraphernaia of an office we may
expect to pose as easy marks and
10 be pictured before the world as
civic delnquents."
