Men Attack obliaing Friend.

Orangeburg. Stewart F. Coy. or
Pittsburgh, Pa, end John A. Robinson,
of Blackstone, N. D., are in the Or
angeburg Jail, having been arrested on
charge Of attempted highway rob-
berry. These two. young white men
came to the home of e. L. Bull, prom

Orangeburg county, and told Mr.. Bull
that they were tourists. that their car
had broken down and requested him
to drive them to Parler that they
might catch the night train. Mr.. Bull
consented and while driving his car to-
ward Parler and when Vance mill dam
was reached, the road being quite Sc
cluded at that spot, the young men as
saulted Mr.. Bull with their fists. Mr..
Bull was being choked by one of the
men, but he managed to get his knife
out and he cut that mans throat from
ear to ear, cut the other man on the
hand and about the mouth and shot
one of the men in the leg. Although
Mr.. Bull was bruised considerably. he
was not badly hurt. The robbers were

STATE AID COMES IN time
Calhoun County Receives $1,000 From
Department Of Education For the
Rural Graded Schools.

st. Matthews.-George w. Wanna
maker, county superintendent Of edu-
cation, is in receipt of $4,000 from
the state department Of education,
which is the apportionment for this
county for rural graded schools. Mr..
Wannamaker says the money arrived
"in the nick of time since the delin-
quency of taxes has drawn some Of
the schools very near the twilight end
OF the session. He also expressed him
self as being highly pleased with the
showing made by this county. Out OF
20 districts in the county, three of
which are joint with Orangeburg and
Lexington counties, 16 Of these sup
port 16 schools. OF these 16. nine are
rural graded schools, receiving state
aid. All of these, in compliance with
the requirements of the state aid laws,
have two or more teachers, and two
of them are high schools. There are
five one-teacher schools which are un-
able to meet the requirements, not be-
cause they have not the spirit to do
80, but because one OF the essential
requirements is unavoidably missing.
Taking into consideration the various
standards and requirements to be met
and the difficulty usually encountered
in meeting them by average school.
Mr.. Wannamaker feels that this coun-
ty makes a remarkable showing.
The following schools are now rural
schools sharing in state help: Pine
Grove, 5000; Woodland, 5000; Fort
Motto, 5000; Bellville, 5000; Midway.
$500; Creston, 5000; Spring Hill. 5000;
Center Hill, $500; Sunny Plain, $780,
Midway, with 112 pupils and four
teachers, is the largest rural school
in the, county. The Creston school was
awarded a prize Of SIS by the state
sch Dol improvement association, for
which, It Is said, credit Is principally
due to Mrs. w. A. Keller.
Center Hill is the only one which
has suspended on account OF shortage
Of funds, but all will run the six
months.

p,ue Pill After 81 Years.

Utica, N. Y.-Because he left Col

a board bill of 81, Frank S. Lyon, OF
Wolverine, Mich, has sent to the
treasurer S27.42, which is equal to 81
and simple interest for the 5l years
intervening.
The amount was owing to Byron
Richardson, who conducted board
ing house and Lyon requested
that the money be turned over to
him, If living, or his heirs. After the
letter from Lyon was read to the stu
dent body, Harold B. Anderson, OF
Hammond, Ind, now freshman, at
the university, informed the treasurer
that he is a grandson OF Byron Rich

those named III the temporary ar.
rangement the meeting to start ap-

weeks. Columbians who have been
deeply interested in the proposed re-
vival were jubilant that Mr.. Sunday
had officially accepted.
A city evangelistic committee is al
ready formed and this body OF men
will meet in few days to make i'm.

The matter of a tabernacle suffi-
ciently large to handle the enormous
crowds will be one Of the principal
matters to be disposed Of by the COM
mittee. While there mas been no def
mite selection and several places are
under advisement. 1t Is understood
that the block on lower Main street.
owned by the University of South
Carolina, between Green and College
streets, is being favorably considered.
When Mr. Sunday was in Spartan
burg he was visited by a Columbia
committee and invited to come here.
At that time there was much encour-
agement from Mr. Sunday, in fact the
matter was practically settled then,
but no contract was signed. The Off
cial word from Mr. Sunday means that
the matter is closed and that Colum-
bia and all of South Carolina may look
forward to the revival in March, 1928.

the object such an extraordinary freak

Under a strong glass, Mr.. Reid

with such exact regularity that 1t set
at naught the laws Of probability to
believe that the thing was anything
except the handicraft of man. The
edges are rounded off smoothly as If 1t

would probably be 100000 years

that the leather was first perforated
by a fine perforating machine before
1t was sewed. They call it an acci-

New York.-What appears to be
The petritied sole of a carefully made
shoe has been submitted by John L.
Reid, mining engineer Of Loveiock'
New, to DR.. James F. Kemp, professor
of geology at ColurN'a university
and to DR.. William L. Matthew, pa
leontologist Of the American Museum
of Natural History.
If It is what it looks like, 1t is proof
that human beings were walking
about in shoes Of finer workmanship
than are made today on this continent
between 10 million and 300 million
years ago. The seeming fossil was
found In blue limestone Of the Trias-
sic period on a summit In the southern
extremity Of the Humboldt mountain
range in Nevada.
Both DR.. Matthew and DR.. Kemp
said that the object was the most sur
prislng imitation by nature of the
workmanship of man which had ever
come to their attention, but that 1t
was absolutely impossible that it could
be a genuine fossil because the evil
dence was overwhelming that the
career of human beings ON earth was
not over half a million years, whereas

sculptured sole is made is so ancient.

"It is the most perfect piece of
natural mimicry that have ever
seen," said DR.. Matthew. "But that Is
all. 1t is not the work Of man. Man
has not been in existence much more
than 100000 years or so on earth. and
1t Is not believed that man has existed
on this continent for more than 3d.
600 years. That Is. Of course, only an
approximate guess. The Triassic
formation in which this appears to
have been found might have been
300, 100000 years old. Such finds are
