Friends Hear Encouraging News from Rev. Francis Rese-Judae John N. Barnes to Speak at First Church Sunday Evening.

A letter from Rev. Francis Rose, for several years at the head of the indus trial school at Jaro, Iloilo, Philippine Islands, tells of improved conditions there Rev. MT. Rose is a nephew of the late Ernest Rose.
 He writes: Some college courses have been added to the scope of the industrial school, including prepara- tory courses for medicine, pharmacy. agriculture, engineering, theology. The trustees have added now a full Bible school to the curriculum and a vaca- tion conference of Christian workers like that of Northfield. This Jaro school is the only college on the island of noilo and only the third in the Philippines. noilo Is the second largest city in these islands and is an impor- tant junction for routes of travel" An extract from a paper published at the Philippines, in describing the school exhibit at the Jaro carnival says: "A very unique part of thie 1 schools exhibit was the plan of a modern barrie, the houses of which were constructed by the boys in the carpentry and architectural class" IT closing, the article states: The schoo offers almost any line of work that 6 young man could desire besides fitting him with that knowledge which wil
 make of him a desirable citizen. MT
 Rose and the efficient staff of assist | ants are to be congratulated upon thu results they have attained in bringinl the Filipinos to such high standard.

Monument to Hon. Robert Y. Hayne

Spartanburg, S. c., May 5.-To
provide a memorial to the Hon. Rob-
ert Y. Hayne, of South Carolina, in
honor of his railroad services, Presi-
dent Fairfax Harrison, of Southern
Railway Company, has given in
structions that the name of the juno
ton and terminal where the line
from Asheville intersects the Wash
ington-Atlanta line be changed from
"Spartanburg Junction" to "Hayne.
Mr.. Hayne was, if not the first,
the most effective promoter of the
construction of a railroad across the
mountains from South Carolina to
the middle west. 1t was the Ashe-
vile and Spartanburg railroad, be-
ginning at what is now known as
"Spartanburg Junction" which first
realized Mr.. Haynes plan, and this
important Southern Railway point
will hereafter bear his name and be
lasting testimonial to the work he
did.

was so Dadly injured as TO De rem
dered unconscious for some hours,
while her brother, John Thames, was
painfully injured about one knee.
At the other end of the same block
the upper store of the large Nettles
building collapsed and killed two
men, Beasley Davis and negro por-
ter. This building was only recently
occupied by the Manning Dry Goods
Company with an extensive stock of
entirely new goods. Adjoining the
Nettles building is Arant's drug
store which was almost entirely de-
molished.
Many Buildings Hurt.
The intervening buildings from
the Bank of Clarendon to Katzoff's
Bargain store were damaged or de-
stroyed. In the Mcleod block the
walls of the Clarendon Millinery
store collapsed and narrowly missed
crushing Mrs. J. M. Bradham, the
proprietor.
The roof of the Home bank was
blown off and the walls of the Wilson
Insurance company Office collapsed.
Across the street extensive damage
was done to the roofs or front walls
of nearly every store except Zeig-
ler's pharmacy. The main building
of the Plowden Hardware company
was unroofed while the warehouse
in the rear was demolished.
Cothran's tobacco warehouse and
Glenn's tobacco warehouse are COM
plete wrecks.
Single freaks of the storm were
impressive, such as the new brick
stables Of Coffey & Rigby being
unroofed and damaged while the
frame stables of D. M. Bradham &
Son, across the street, escaped un-
scathed.
A number of small dwellings are
demolished but the full extent can
not be ascertained.'
Streets in Darkness.
Telephone and electric light wires
are out of commission and the streets
are in darkness tonight. The debris
from the demolished buildings and a
large number of fallen trees render
locomotion very difficult. Several
trees on the court house grounds
were snapped off, some falling in
one direction and some in another.
The court house building was
damaged in the roof and the fur.
mace chimney above the roof was
toppled over.
Very few of the business men car
ried tornado insurance and hence
the property loss is nearly all loss.
1t is impossible to get sat;sfac-
tory account of all TIE personal in

painfully hurt in the ch-s; by being
