TROOPS ON DUTY
IN WASHINGTON
Officials Hopeful That Outburst Of
Race Hatred Will Not Be
Repeated.

Washington, July 23.-Streets of
the national capital were patrolled
agai1. tonight by a force of cavalry,
infantry and marines numbering
more than 1000 men, no precaut:on
being overlooked by the authorities
against a renewed outbreak of the
race riots which have. occurred 'on
four successive nights.
Officials were hopeful that tie
comparative quiet which prevailed
last night, marred by only one clash
resulting in the killing of one white
man and the fatal wounding of an
other by a negro, meant that the
sudden blaze of race hatred had
been extinguished. The element Of
rain, however, which was believed
to have played an important part in
keeping people off the streets last
night was lacking tonight. Maj. Gen.
W. G. Ham, in command Of the mil
itary forces cooperating with the po-
lice, expressed confidence tonight
that there would be no further Sc
rious disorders. ~

TO TEACH ILLITERATES
IN NEWBERRY COUNTY,

Many women's clubs through the
Federation pledged their support to
the fight on illiteracy in South Caro-
lima. College students also promised
to teach at least one illiterate in the
summer. Teachers are always in
terested in educating grown-ups on
account of the reflex influence it
has on the school. TRUSTEES, too, are
eager to stimulate interest in their
community. The opportunity for all
classes of people to educate adults is
being offered during the month Of
August.
The State of Souta Carolina and
Newberry county will pay teac hers
in schools where as many as ten per-
sons over IA years old, who would
not be above the third grade in our
school, attend. It is thought to be-
easier to get illiterates in school
where there are others in attendance.
The first step in the fight in New
berry county will be made Saturday,
July 26, new court house., 1890
o'clock. All interested persons are
invited.

THE RAINS CONTINUE,
BRIDGES WASHED AWAY
Eight or Nine Inches of Rainfall
Several Bridges in the County
Washed Away.

The rainfall for the past week has
been around eight or nine inches.
And on Thursday the clouds have
not vet rolled away and the rain con-
tinues.
The rainfall Tuesday night was
heavy and almost as much as fell on
Sunday. Bush river and the other
streams are very much swollen and
on Wednesday Bush river had reach
ed about the same height that it at
tanned on Sunday.
The bridge over Duncan's creek
near Whitmire on the Appalachian
highway is completely gone, and the
one near Whitmire over the same
stream has the approaches gone, and
so travel from this end to Whitmire
is cut off.
The bridge near Mr.. Bachman
Cromer's on the upper Whitmlre
road is gone, and the bridge on the
Pomaria road about five miles from
Newberry is also gone. 1t was re-
ported in Newberry on Thursday that
the bridge over Enoree on the May
binton road had washed away, but
Supervisor Sample said it had not
been reported to him. Numerous
small bridges all over the county are
gone, and it will cost several thous-
and dollars to rebuild and repair the
bridges.
The roads all over the county are
badly washed up and travel is almost
impossible. For several days it will
lbe bad to undertake to travel over
the road from Prosperity to Little
Mountain where the new work is be-
ing done, and the road to Jalapa is
past travelling. At Gum Springs
branch on Wednesday several cars
were stuck and had to be pulled out.
New worked roads are in worse con-
ditions than where there has been
no work done.
But the clouds will roll away in a
few days and the sunshine will come
again and everything will be all
right.
