GREAT CHARITY.
Was Originated in tho Mountains of
North Carolina by Miss Mattie
Perry, Who Describes tho Institu
tion to n Reporter. It Now Tokos
Caro of Ono Hundred and Forty
Children.
Miss Mattie Perry, of Marion, N.
C., who has been spending some days
in Columbia, on her return from a
visit to relatives in South Georgia in
itiated and brought into being one of
the greatest works of charity in the
Southern States, through prayer and
faith, somewhat similar to the work
of Muclber, ai Bristol, England. The
following account of Miss Perry and
her work we clip from the Columbia
Record:
Miss Perry was born in the moun
tain section of this state and praye d
her way through college and Bible
school. She has had, she says, many
wonderful answers to prayer and is
shortly to print a book that will give
in detail all of the facts and incidents
of her career.
Miss Perry has now in operation a
home that cost over $70,000, and is
taking care of about 140 orphans.
Her receipts toward their support in
1906 were upwards of $12,000. Tho
home has no endowment and depends
upon gifts in answer to prayer. Those
have come in a remarkable manner
from forty states and from Canada.
Mexico, Spain, India and some dozen
" other countries.
Miss Perry had at one time as
many as thirty missionary workers
in foreign fields, whom she support
ed by prayer and faith. She has now
about twelve, whom she is support
ing in this manner.
It may interest many people to
know that when the home at Marion,
N. C., was first started, it was not
intended for an orphan home, but
was a sort of institute for literary
and Bible training for young men and
women who had enjoyed no school
opportunities. A similar school is
now operated on the top of Paris
Mountain, seven miles from Green
ville.
The school was run ort the prayer
and faith theory for about two years,
and then Miss Perry received, as she
says, a clear and distinct calling to
do the work which she has now un
dertaken. That was about six years
igo. At the time she started the
work she had just money enough to
get a railroad ticket, but. she says,
she prayed for help and her prayer
was heard and answered to such an
extent that the institution is now
taking care of 140 orphan children.
She had to turn away 150 last year
for lack of room. Improvements are
now being made in the building, and
Miss Perry expects soon to he able
to accommodate about 450 children.
Orphans from eleven states are now
being cared for, and every child at
least has a chance for a collegiate
education, business course and a
trade.
The institution is called "The Ki
lianen Institute." it was opened
eight years ago on the principle that
God hears and answers prayers. The
first mottoes put on thc walls were,
"Is Anything Too Hard for the
Lord?" and "AU Things Are Possible
to Him That Believeth."
It may be of interest to some peo
ple to know of some of the marvel
ous answers to prayer described by
Miss Perry. Once the home gave a
not for $1,000, due one day after
date, and a South Georgia woman
sent a check for $1,000 just in time
to meet the note. Many times, Miss
Perry said, the pantry and the purse
have been empty, but she looked to
God for the daily Viread, and thc need
was met hy contributions made vol
untarily and without solicitation.
Once, when the bread was cutout,
and the orphans were waiting for
breakfast, a wholesale grocer receiv
ed a telegram from Memphis, order
ing two barrels of flour the pantry
and thc purse have seen many ans
wers to pray and at a time when
help was most needed, aft IM- a sore
test of faith. The truth that "God
is faithful," and "Like a father piti
eth His children, so the Lord pitieth
them that fear Him," has been learn
ed by Miss Perry and ber people.
The children at tho Kilianen Insti
tute come from the most destitute
walks of life-the door step baby,
those found in the woods or on thc
streets-those from homes of pover
ty and the most, despairing of sin.
They are gathered in and sheltered
from temptation and fed and cloth
ed, educated and trained for lives of
usefulness
A department is maintained for
young men and women who are anx
ious for an education and who have
no money hut. are willing to work td
pay expenses while in school. From
this department several students
havegone to foreign bolds as mis
sionaries, some are pastors, some
teacher, some evangelists and some
Christian citizens.
Miss Perry says: "Our hearts have
been almost broken many times dur
ing the past, year as wo have bad to
say, 'No' to thc worthy and helpless
on account of lack of room and cure
takers, bul we praise tho Lord that
He is enabling us to enlarge our ca
pacity, and that hy September wo
will have room for about MOO chil
dren."
It. has fallen to thc lot nf thc
writer to travel up and down this
broad commonwealth to a consider
able extent, both in search of busi
ness and pleasure, and without an
attempt I > flat tor the good people
of this seel ?on it, can be .truthfully
said that wc hive noverse?n a lot
of people thal equals those ol our
county.
Tino Norfolk Landmark says
"Representative! Northern newspa
pers are calling on thc South to
take the lead and give tho North a
chance to votefor a real Democrat."
Nonsense?. What, they call a real '
Democrat, is so much like a Republi
can that, you can't tell them apart, !
We would rather have Roosevelt in j
the White House than a Democrat '
of that stamp, j
A safe and sane Democrat is too t
much like a Republican to sui! tho \
rank arid file of the Democraticly
party for a candidate. So Mr. Har- li
mon will have to bo excused.
GARDEN INSECTS
An Interesting Paper In Giemson
CuSi?ge Extension Work. -
Od a I h ?I Directions Given How the
De Knslly Destroyed.
The last bulletin issued by Clem
son college deals with the subject of
"Garden and Orchard Insects." A
very interesting chapter is an article
by Prof. Chambliss in which he tells
when to apply insecticides or other
treatmpnt. As to the application of
the insecticides, Prof. Chambliss' pa
per is as follows:
Apple--For coding moth, apply
Paris green in liquid form or arse
nate of lead as soon as the blossoms
fall; repeat before the fruit turns
down. Collect and destroy the fallen
fruit. On trunk of tree use a band
of cotton or burlay durihg July, Aug
ust and September; remove this band
every 10 days and kill the insects
found under it.
For wooly aphis, apply kerosene
emulsion or whale oil soap as soon as
the insect appears on the limbs; re
peat whenever necessary. For the
root form, use tobacco.
For the apple aphis, apply kero
sene emulsion or whale oil soap when
the buds open, if the lice appear; re
peat five days later, or before the
leaves begin to curl.
For the San .lose scale, apply the
lime and sulphur wash to all parts
of the tree in December; repeat in
February if tree is badly encrusted.
.In summer apply kerosene emulsion.
For tent-caterpillar and fall web
worm, apply Paris green in liquid
form or arsenate of lead when the
caterpillars appear; repeat, if neces
sary, ten days later. When first seen,
the nests of these insects should be
destroyed by burning them, which
should be done only on cloudy days
or late in the afternoon.
For the oyster-shell scale and scur

during the winter; repeat in April.
Asparagus-For asparagus beetle,
apply pyrethrum in liquid form when
the young appear; repeat every four
days during the cutting season. After
the cutting season, apply arsenate of

An Amorlcau Who Offered to Thrash
A Grand Duke. ^
The American colony at Monte
Carlo is chuckling over the adven
ture of one of their number, an
American millionaire, with Grand
Duke Michael of Russia, in which
bis imperial highness came out sec
ond best. For some unaccountable
reason your correspondent could not
obtain thc name of the American
perhaps, being booked for an carly
steamer, lie wants to tell the story
himself on his return.
It appears that the man from the
United States was joggling along in
his auto en route for the golf club,
and not suffering from speed mania
went rather slowly. Behind him, on
the narrow road, was a machine that
kept up a perpetual tooting and snar
ling, asking, nay demanding, thc
rignt of way in double quick order.
However, our American, being leis
urely inclined, refused to take no
tice. When finally he pulled up at
tlie club, the other machine pranced
alongside and a tall, military-looking
gent confronted the American.
"Sir," he cried, "you evidently
don't know who I am. Please remem
ber for the future that I am Grand
Duke Michael of Russia."
"Glad to meetyou Mike" replied
the American, "but, on your own
part, remember that we are not in
Russia, likewise that I don't care a
rap for imperial highnesses."
At first "Mike" seemed petrified
with amazement, then pulled himself
together and shouted menacingly.
"How dare you, poltroon,-"
"Shut your face," answered the
American, taking both hands out of
his pockets, "another word from you
and 1 will wipe your imperial .shout
on the grass before all these people."
The grand duke did as he was told,
jumped in his automobile and drove
away. He hasn't shown upai the
Casino since.
A Foolish Notion,
There are stranger things in Ger
many than Emperor William. There
is, for instance, a great editor in
Berlin who is a positive refreshing
novelty-as much so as the fat wo
man in the side show or the 500
pound pumpkin. He hopes Japan
will not hopelessly cripple the new
navy of the United States, principal
ly because he wants our navy spared
to prevent England demanding the
destruction of the ships of Germany.
It is easily understood that we stand
between England and the destruc
tion of the German fleet, but hope
less and complete ruination of our
ships by Japan is something that we
have not contemplated at length.
The Berlin editor has our assur
ance that we shall not permit our
entire navy to be destroyed by Ja- I
pan. We. shall be able to run a few
small warships up shallow rivers and
hide them where the little brown
man cannot get at them. And if then
they are of use in warding off the
dogs of war England stands ready to
Iel loose on Germany- well, we
might keep them at home, after all.
It is genuinely funny lo hear those
people talk over in Europe. They
have just as much idea of the re
sources and capabilities of this coun
try at' the average Japanese has; and
that in spite of the many object les
sons we have supplied. What they
need is a course of travel, combined
with ordinary horse sense and a few
newspapers that are willing to see
things this side of the water just as
they are.
After Big Game.
The recent indictments returned
against Alfred and David Morris,
Albert Baldwin. Sr, and Frank T.
Howard, at Mobile, Ala., for con
spiring to violate the Anti-Lottery
law, have recalled the days when
the lottery business was tit the
heigh th of its career in the South.
These four men, bankers and capi
talists, wdio are all rated as million
aires, are charged with bei Jig the
owners of the Honduras lottery,
whose earnings in the United States
are said to have aggregated $500,000
lier month.
Alfred Hennen Morris and David
Hennen Morris, the latter of whom
married one of the Vanderbilt*, are
sons of the late John A Morris,
whose father was thc Louisiana lot
tery king, lt was through the late
Charles T. Howard, father of Frank
T. Howard, one of the men indicted,
that the elder Morris and his asso
ciates, among them A. Baldwin, Sr.,
secured from a reconstruction legis
lature, the charter of the Louisiana
Lottery company for a period of 25
years.
The elder Howard managed the
campaign before the legislature, and
later was the President of the com
pany, holding that ellice until his
death, when he was succeeded by
Paid Conrad, who remained Presi
dent until the death by limi
tation, of the company. In its
balcon days the Louisiana Lottery
company's possible receipts were
$5,000,000 a month, aggregate prizes
about (il) per cent, thereof, but
unsold tickets were always put in
the wheel and often drew the priz
es, the largest of which in the
palmiest days was $300,000.
Sliun Tainted Money.
William Jennings Bryan has
praises for churches and colleges
that refuse to take morey that has
been made by dishonest means. He
spoke recently in the New National
theater, Washington, D. C., under
the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. He
took for his subject the "Prince of
Peace,"
"One of our rich men," he said,
"has reached a point where he some
times finds difficulty to find people
to take his money. And that. I re
gard as the best evidence of the
growth of a moral sentiment in this
country, ll means something when
a great church pauses, hesitates, re
fuses to accept the money until it
knows how it is made.
"I believe the time will come when
churches and colleges will refuse to
go into partnership in tho spending
of money immorally made. The in
fluence of that public opinion will

of righteousness. These institu

NEGRO Kill
Killed in Columbia by an Ex-Coun
ty Official.
Thero Had Keon n Quarrel Between
tho Two tho Night Ileforo tho Kill

Tho Columbia Record says tho
shooting to death of a nogro hack
man named MOHO Tucker by ex Cor
oner Winiam S. Green, aorvtng at the
time as a bailiff in tho circuit court,
in Pctor Greeto's fruit Storo on Main
strcot, pearly oppostto the skyscraper
at 10:30 Friday morning, caused
much excitement about tho storo, and
for a time lt looked as if condition:;
woro ripe for a riot, tho screaming
widow of the doad hackinan follow
ing tho Undertaker's basket bearing
tho remains away from thc place ano
a dozen or more scatter-brained white
mon looking for a oponlng to give
expression to their rnco feeling. Hut
Columbia peoplo, both white and
black are noted for being cool-headed
and tho crowd finally thinned out
without any effort to precipitate a
clash. Chief Daly was on hand with
three assistants.
Mr. Green hus boen moro or less of
a heavy drinker for several year?.
About a year ago ho shot himself In
tho eliest at his rooms over tho Stan
ley china hall. He has shot and cut
a number of negroes on more or less
provocation.
Tlie trouble which ended in Tuck
er's death appears to have started
Thursday night, according to state
ments credited to a Mr. A. L. Davis,
who cannot be located now. Mr.
Davis, who Was a passenger in Tuck
er's hack Thursday night on Wash
ington street, was attacked by Green
with a knife after Green had slashed
at the beckman. Mr. Davis had a
now hat cut to pieces. Hut he re
fused to appear against Green in tho
recorder's court and the caso WOK
dropped.
In Green's store at the time of tho
killing was Mr. Walter Atkinson, a
traveling man from Jersey City. He
says thai at the time Green came into
the store Tucker was sitting to the
counter writing out. his address for
him (Atkinson), that (?reen without
a word from Tucker swore at him
and shot him. Tucker stooped or
staggered toward an open kidfe on
the lloor and Green told him if ho at
tempted to pick it up he would shoot
him through tin11 head. Tucker then
staggered out of the back door of the
store and fell dead in the back yard.
The bullet, a 38-calibro, was cut ont
of Tucker's neck, having entered tho
left shle and severed both the jugular
vein and a large artery. The pencil
with which Tucker had been Writing
was also in Tucker's clenched Hst.
Peter (?roete and his son, Louis saw
the killing, but say they cannot give
details.
After standing on tho sidewalk,
perhaps live minutes, during which
Mr. (?reen remarked to passors-by
that ho told the negro that if he ad
vanced upon him with the knife he
Would kill him. When two newspa
per representatives arrived on the
scene Green asked them to note that
he was "as cool as a cucumhor." Ho
then walked around to tim sheriff's
oflico and surrendered. Ile luis re
tained Mr. r. H. Nelson to defend
him. Green will likely apppiy for
ball in a few days.

Wife desertion is a cowardly
tliine; and deserves punishment, hui
ii is to he doubted whether putting
the wife deserter in the penitentiary
would not make the lot of the wife
harder than ever. So long as a
man is at liberty there is a chance
of making him support his wife,
but. if he is in the penitentiary
that, chance vanishes, The problem
is to compel men to support the wo
men to whom they are married.
Putting them in a position where
t hey have no earning capacity will
hardly accomplish the desired end.
THK colored people throw away a
great deal of their hard earned mon
ey in riotous living. On hist Tuesday
?M'nnk Felder, a colored man from
Bowman neighborhood, undertook
to paint Orangeburg red, and as a
consequence he fell into the hands
of thc1 guardians of the peace. Ile
had acted so outrageously that May
or Doyle determined to make an ex
ample of him. So he lined him on
diff?rent counts $120, which Felder
paid. This is a pretty big sum for
a man of Felder's means to blow in
in one night. Two other colored sin
ners contributed thirty dollars to tin?
exchequer of the city for helping
Felder in his effort to paint things

TERROR REiGNS. i

Overrun by Thieves.
MEXICAN BRIGANDS.
Murder omi Bobbery Spread Terror
Among (be People. Two Bogl

And Have Killed Mo t m al Bandit
Loaders. Boigu of Outlawry ls
Without a Modern Precedent.
The mountainous sections of the
states of Durango and Sinaloa, Mex
ico, are overrun with bands of bri
gands. The entire territory is in a
state of terror. Brigandage has al
ways prevailed to some entent in the
mountains lying between Duango and
the Pacific port of Mazatlan. The
present outbreak of outlawry is the
worst thc country has known since
the days following the last bloody
strife, when little attempt was made
at preserving law and order. The
portion of the territory where the
brigands are operating is 75 miles
wide and more than 200 miles long.
Not less than nine bands of brigands
are active in this territory and trav
el is absolutely dangerous. Ranch
men and peaceable settlors are terror
stricken.
WAH OF KXTICKMINATION.
There are no two full regiments of
rurales working in the turbulent
territory, under orders from Presi
dent Diaz to show no quater to thc
bandits when they are captured.
They are engaged in a war of exter
mination, but with not much appar
ent success. Many of the brigands
have been killed but others seem
ready to take their places as soon as
they fall. Thc bandits are merciless
with the rurales. A few days ago
they found six of the troopers slecj)
ing and killed them before they could
reach their guns. Many of the ru
rales were banditti at one time
themselves, and, for this reason,
know the ways and the bidding
places of the men they are pursuing.
They are relentless in the perfor
mance of their duty.
BRIGANDS QUICK TO KI 1.1..
The number of murders and rob
beries that have been committed
during the last three months will
never be known. The brigands are
not slow to kill, when any resistance
is made lo their attempts at robbery.
In some instances whole families
have been wiped out of existence.
Encounters between the rurales and
banditti are almost of daily occur
rence. Several of the bandit leaders
have been killed. Among others
Porfirio B. Ohaso, one of the most
notorious. Ile was overtaken and
killed while planning a raid at Con
itaca. In the same encounter three
of his followers were killed and two
rurales wounded. Gerardo Nunez
is another bold bandit leader, who
was recently captured and killed.
He had raided a ranch within 5o
miles of Durango, carrying away
$7.000 in money and valuables.
DESPERADO PROTECTS WOMAN,
.luau Longorio is at the head of a
band of brigands that is operating
in the C?sala district. He has been
working for the past three years,
and has raided many ranches. One
thing he will not do is allow a wo
man to be hurt. He will order ex
ecution of men, if they resist, but
a woman can leave her premises and
take all she wishes with her. Lon
gorio has been known to leave food
and suppli?s at the homes of poor
women, which he has visited. Fre
quently these materials have been
found to be plunder he has taken
from a nearby ranch or home of a
rich planter or miner. The rurales
have been in pursuit, but seem to be
unable to capture1 him. He has so
worked himself into the good graces
of the women that they will protect
him and his men when they are be
ing hard pressed.

SHiP SINKS
Twenty Flvs Perss.ts Drowned in
Crossing the Neva
Tho Vessel Hud noon Coiidoinucd
And There Aro Threats of Violence
Against Its Owner. '
Twonty-flvo persons aro beliovod
to have buen drowned by tho lloun
doring of tho rlvor steamer Archan
gelsk while sho was crossing tho
Neva, near tho surburb of Irinowka,
Hussia, luto Sunday night.
Tho accident occurred during a
Snow storm, when tho steamer was
two-thirds tho way across tho river
and was caused by her striking an
ico lloo, numbers of which Btill ro
main in tho river despite the lateness
of tho season.
Owing to tho thlckiioss of tho
weather tho accident was not soon
from tho shore,-but tho shouts foi
help of those in distress attracted tho
crows of two steamers which hastily
went to tho scone, only, however, to
lind that tho Archangelsk had found
ered. A number of her passengers,
mostly working men, wore rescued,
but owing to tho swiftness of the
current, many others were swept un
dor tho leo (loos.
There is no moans for establishing
dollnltcly tho number of victims. The
passage across tho rlvor was short
and no count was made of (ho passon
gors, but according to tho police of
Okhta, a surburb for which tin
steamer was bound, 31 porsons aro
missing-all workmen or small mer
chants of the humbler class.
The Archangelsk was an old Iron
steamer open forward and roofea
over astern In the form of a cabin
She was condemned ns unseaworthy
last fall, but the owner was about to
?.ave tho ban removed and tho vessel
placed in service. Tho crow wau
made up of threo Inoxperloncod mon
thc captain and pilot having former
ly been a 1 akcr. All threo of tho
men were saved.
Tho steamer had scarcely any bal
last and when she ran sidewise on a
big Hoe she careened and immediate
ly lilied and sank. Tho catastrophe
was over inside of threo minutes.
Those who were not picked up imme
diately sank beneath the icy water.
One -nan scrambled on to an ice floe
and was carried down stream for a
mile. The wreck was located Sunday
afternoon lying on the bottom of the
river scarcely a hundred feet from
the shore, whither it had been swept
by the swift current. It was Impos
sible for divers to descend owing to
floating Icc.
The banks of the river were crowd
ed all day with friends and relatives
of missing persons looking for bodies
but none were recovered. It is prob
able that tho dead have been carried
down stream for miles.

ferry line runs high and threats havo
