A Bear Hunt.
The Chappell's correspondent of
the Saluda Standard tells of a bear
hunt, which- is a rarity in this section
of South Carolina in this day and
generation. The story is a good
one, running as follows:
"On last Saturday evening a trusty
of Mr. J. R. Webb's was sent to the
pasture to get his cows but could
not find them. Early oi Sunday
morning the 'trusty,' Pig Watson,
went for the cows and found the cat
tle scattered and very much frighten
ed. Pig soon found some wild var
mint, a bear, wolf, tiger or wild cat.
His description was: "It has a long
body, short legs, short ears, and a
great pompadour as large as my hat,
a huge back and awful eyes-said it
was on the back of one of the cows
and had the cow's tongue choked out.
"Having hear~d this, Mr. Webb got
all of his hands and all the 'dogs he
could and went in search of the wild
animal. Mr. Webb in his race forgot
he had on new shoes until the race
was over and then found that he had
all of the 'skin rubbed off his heels and
toes. He raced the varmint until
about 4 o'clock and waded the river
a time or so, but at last it got away
in the swamps.
"Mr. Webb found he could not get
the varmint, so he started the darkies
Iall to the house and got behind them
and fired a few times and yelled to
them to 'run, run.' Some of them
ran themselves almost to death.
"He can't get 'Pig' to the pasture
any more.
"Webb intended going to the fair
SERMON BY DR. HALLMAN.
Delivers Strong Discourse On The
Degeneracy of the Race.
The tollowing emnracts are taken
from an able sermon delivered by Dr.
S. T. Hallman, of this city, in Green
wood on ye.-terday:
"Lovers of pleasures more than
lovers of God."-2 Timothy 3:4.
"Two words is our English Bible
express the fearful moral degeneracy
of our race, and indicate the urgent
need of cleansing and life. There are
sin and uncleanness-transgression of
law and the filthiness of human na
ture. Arouid these all grades of
moral obliquity gather and in them is
embraced every species of transgres
sion. The merest glance at the re
bellious nature of man and his natural
bias towards the evil, will show how
fearfully he has wandered from the
reht. and how far gone he is from
original righteousness. By force of
his depraved will he rebels against
every law of God and moral unclean
ness is wrapped about him as the ivy
about the oak. Sin is the centre to
wards -,hich his being gravitates, and
moral perversity is as natural to him
as is flight to the bird. As falcon
be-t on prey so man's Jepraved ap
petite longs for the fields of trans
gress,anz.
"Inspiration, by one sweep of its
incisive pen, fully outlines man's
moral degeneracy. 'Every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart is only
evil continually.' 'All flesh is corrupt
ed in its way.' The whole stream of
human life trib.-ted to ignorance and
rarely to immorality. The presump
tion is that a jury only needs intelli
gence and that corscience is of little
consequenze in -diusting matters of
right and wrong. 1-ifty years ago the
people were not so intelligent as they
are now, and yet there was less law
lessness and crime than there is to
day. The explanation is that then
they emphasized morals and now we
emphasize intelligence."
The speaker cso.tinued and spoke
of the dangers arising from the race
problem. He also touched upon the
laxity of discipline in the homes of
the land, and the consequent result.
"May the law-abiding citizens of
the noble state of South Carolina
awake to their solemn responsibility
and consecrate themselves o the su
preme duty of eradicating from their
midst this monster crime-homicide
and give to human life God's holy
gift, the sacredness, dignity and
worth which have been stamped upon
it by the great Creator and Redeemer
of mankind."
COLUMBIA CHOSEN.
Educational Conference to Be Held
In Spring of 19o5.
Columbia, November 2.--It was
learned yesterday that the conference
for education in the south will be
held in Columbia next April. The
information came in a letter to State
Superintendent of Eduication Martin
from Dr. Edgar Gardiner Murphy,
the secretary. The exact date has
not yet been determined upon, but
it will probably be the last week in
April, as this is the time which suits
Columbia best, and is about the time
that conference is usually held.
Last year the meeting was held in
Birmingham, and at that time the
invitation from Columbia was pre
sented. It will be remembered that
when Mr. Robert C. Ogden, the pres
ident, and a number of his associa
tes stopped at Rock Hill on theii
way to Birmingham Governor Hey
ward presented the invitation from
Columbia, backed by resolution of
the general assembly, the city coun
cil, the chamber of commerce and
letter from the presidents of the
various colleges .in the state. Secre
tary Clark of the chamber of com
merce, also personally urged the in
vitation at that time, and Superinten
dent Martin and President D. B.
Johnson have both been active in se
curing the meeting. President John
son is a member of the executive
committee which selects the place of
meeting. It is understood that the
committee was almost unanimously
in favor of Columbia.
The first step towards securing this
convention was the action of the
chamber of commerce on February
9 last in adopting the following:
chamber of commerce extends a cor
dial invitation to the conference o,
education in the south to hold its
1905 annual session in Columbia, the
capital of South Carolina. the state
of South Carolina not having yet had
the honor of entertaining this body."
The Davis Tour.
Elkins, W. Va., November 5.
Henry G. Davis appealed to his fel
low townsmen last night to support
him as a democratic nominee for the
vice-presidency. The appeal was re
sponded to by tumultuous applause
by as many of the citizens of Elkins
as could get into the local opera
house. Among those who sat be
hind the senator on the stage were
Blaine and Davis Elkins, sons of
Senator Elkins. The meeting here
was the culmination of a day of cam
paigning on a special train. The train
reached Elkins at i o'clock.
The appeal of Mr. Davis to his
"home folks," as he stated it was his
masterpiece of the campaign. He
reviewed the development of this sec
tion of the country, in connection
with which he frequently mentioned
the name of Senator Elkins, who was
with him, he said, except politically.
The candidate read a telegram he re
ceived last night from Vice-President
Landstreet of the Wabash system, a
republican, he explained, but a
staunch supporter of Mr. Davis. Mr.
Landstreet said he was now on a tour
of the lines of his road in West Vir
ginia in behalf of Mr. Davis. During
the day Mr. Davis subordinated na
tional appeals to his neighbors for
endorsement.
Tonight Mr. Davis will speak at
Belington, which will conclude his
work in the campaign. His address
last night was supplemented by a
comparative discussion of the issue
by C. Woods Bailey.

LIGHT WAVES.
Different Kinds Brought Into Con
junction Produce Darkness.
Everv light wave, as a wave oi the
sea. consists of two portions, in one
of which the water is lifted above the
general average level of the surround
ing ocean an in the other is depress
ed below it. These two portions form
the "crest" and the "trough" of the
wave respectively.
If two or more sets of waves ar%
caused to traverse the same surface
as by dropping stones into still water
for instance, a complicated network
of ripples is produced. At certain
points fhe crest of one wave will coin
cide with the crest of another and the
two will combine to form one crest
of double the height, the trough also
being twice the depth.
At other points the crest of one
wave will fall on the trough of anoth
er, and as the same particles of watei
are called upon by equal forces to
move in opposite directions at the
same time they will remain stationary
and the surface will not be disturbed
at those points.
Similarly, as light consists of waves
in the ether, it has been shown by
Fresnel that if one ray be caused to
fall half a wave length behind another
the troughs of one set of waves will
combine with the crests of the other
set to neutralize one another, so pro
ducing still ether, or dark patches,
at those particular points in the midst
of the surrounding light.
