".SOOTING AT TEACHERS." Correspondent Resents Reported Ut terances of Mrs. Shankle at St. Louis. Greenville News. The article in the News under thi head "Where They Shoot at Teach -ers," "Mrs. Shankle Tells of Work ii the Dark Corner," etc., manifestl: deserves a little at .ention. Either the "gar but prepossess ing woman" who- %de the repor from South Carolina to the Nationa Conference of Charities and Correc tion was both hysterical and morbid or else some callow reporter, probab ly just "off the bat," thoughts th "gaunt" woman a fit subject for un limited romance and made the stor: all yellow. Such untruthful, and, in deed, utterly impossible tales as thi: -should be looked into and the guilt: perpetrator muzzled. They do muc harm, not only to communities, an< the individuals going out from thi community so slandered, but thi State and the whole South suffe: much, both socially and financially 'because of such constant misrepre Vntation. As a matter of fact this "Dark Cor ner," which lies principally in Green -ville county, S. C., counts among it: citizens many of the very best an< most progressive men in that county sustains one of the very best an< largest high schools in the State, , Baptist institution known as Nort Greenville high school, and agricul turally that section of the count: stands high. All this withii two or three miles of Glassy Moun tain, and near Squirrel Mountain where "bullets by the hundred wil whistle over your head on the wa: up the mountain," where the teachei 'has to keep armed because the pu ,'pils don't like to be taken unawares.

New York, May'\30.-Messages of -ongratulation are pouring in on Glenn H. Curtiss by the bushel. Since making the S$10000 flight from Al bany to New York lesterday he has remained quietly at his hotel, and has mnade no plans other than for an ear ly return to his 'home in Hammionds port, N. Y. Among those who wired their con ratulations to Curtiss today are the ayton, Ohio, International Aero \lane club, Jerome H. Joyce, presi ent of the A'ero Club of Baltimore; Charles J. Bell, president of the Club of Washington, D. C., and George M. Meyers, president of the Aeronautic association of Kansas City. Curtiss had his machine carefully manined today, and a leak was dis overed in the lubricating oil tank. This caused no mishap yesterday, but it was a source of unknown danger. The depletion of his supply of lub ricating oil is given by the aviator as his reason for stopping at the up er end of Manhattan yesterday be fore continuing the flight to Gover nor's Island. The flight was resum ed after he had replenished the sup ply. Mayor Gaynor will preside at a din ne in Curtis's honor at the Hotel by the New York World. Invitations wl have been extended to all of the thi . prominent aviators and to many dis- ex tinguished persons, who are especial- St ly interested in aviation. ini to: DISMISS FRANKLIN APPEAL. w, er - Negro Must Die for Murder of Valen- er tine-No Ruling on Contract fel Law. P( Washington, May 31.-Pink Frank- [u t lin, the South Carolina negro, whose of conviction for the murder of Special w4 Constable Valentine led to an attack; fe: on the so-called labor contract laws m: of the South, will suffer the death St penalty, according to the decision t'o- in day of the supreme court of the U, - - cu ed States. It was claimed by Franklin that the constable came to his home at Bi night and entered without announc- ca ing himself as an officer of the law. tic was while in Franklin's cabin that re Valentine was mortally wounded by tt a shot. Former Attorney General Bona- sa parte became interested in the case hii and after the negro lawyers for the wl condemned man had appealed the yo case to the supreme court of the be United States, Mr. Bonaparte filed a th brief in "rankNin's behalf. He con- la tended that .Franklin had a right to Lc resist arrest, which was sought to be ev made on a warrant issued under an m( unconstitutional law. This law was tir the so-called "labor contract law," fie which provided that agricultural lab- te< orers under contract to work were to guilty of misdemeanors if they break en their contracts after receiving wages : in advance. Mr. Bonaparte denounc- ve ed this law as an attempt to reduce Sa the negrees of the South to captivity. ov Justice Day, in announcing the de- toi cision, said the court could inquire! only into federal questions. He said sc the question of resistance of arrest nQ under an und6nstitutional law Was th not raised in time in the State court. (F Mr. Bonaparte's connection with D. the case was aonfined to the filing of ed a brief for the defense. Soon after his vo 'brief was filed, the two negro law yerg for Franklin announced that Mr. N( Bonaparte was jiot of counsel in the case. Jacob Moorer, one of Franklin's lawyers, said that Mr. Bonaparte had been empl,oyed by rich negroes in Sn Philadelphia without the knowledge of the two who had taken the case up al' to the supreme court of the United States. tu THE LQRIMER CASE. e ITwo Senators and Representatire $# cure Liberty-No Important De velopments.
