went out and spared conflagration.
For an instant confusion prevailed,
then The passengers began to pick
themselves or each other up, and to cx-
cmine into the casualties. The Rcv.
DR.. Mcynardio was severely bruised,
and internal injuries were feared.
A young gentleman, Mr.. Sullivan,
from Augusta, was cut in the head and
badly bruised in the shoulder. All
The other passengers received slight
injuries, mostly cuts about the head.
Conductor Newcomer had painful
cut in the head besides receiving sever
al bruises. lie showed great presence
of mind, ordering the passengers to
keep their seats, which they did until
the seats left them. Two ladies were
on the train and were quite cool. For
such serious accident. the comparu-
lively small number Of injuries were
providcntial. DR.. E,lmunds, of Ridge
way, was called in and rendered
prompt assistance. The road was
badly wrecked, but was repaired by
one O'Clock.
Later intclligeuco from Columbia
reports that the Rev. DR.. Mcynardic
was seriously but not dangerously
hnrt.
The cause of the accident seems to
have been that the train was running
too rapidly over the crooked and infc-
rior stringcr track It tmust have been
going at least thirty miles al hour,
The authorizes arc rcprchcnsiblc for
delaying their trains in Charlotte and
then having the conductors make up
the lost time before reaching Augusta.

A RAILROAD SMASH UP.-Tho south
bound passenger train on tho Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad
met with q serious accident about
three-quarters Of q mile below Ridge

had been delayed in Charlotte to mako
connection with tho Piedmont Road.
When 1t reached Winnsboro it was all
hour behind timeJ and from there it
ran with great speed to and beyond
Ridgeway. Going down grade below
Ridgeway, it is supposed that tho
centrifugal force of tho Pullman car
was too much for the stringer track,
and one of tho outer rails was forced
off. This threw off tho Pullman car
and the flrstand second class passenger
cars. After humping along a hundred
yards, all three cars plungcd, tho two
passenger coaches upside down, down
an embankment, and the Pullman pois-

upside down they were pitched pell-

THE TWELFTH REGIMENr.--Thc fol-

Capt. j. r. Boyles:
DEAR SIR-Your very kind invita-
tion to attend reunion of the Sur
vivors Of the 18th Regiment Of South
Carolina Volunteers was received.
and in answer am sorry TO have to
inform you that professional engage
ments will prevent my being with
those gallant soldiers on that pleasant
occasion. There will be for the re-
hecting mind, food on that occasion
for both joy and sadness, sadness be-
cause of the broken files that war,
disease and events have made III our
old regiment; and joy in meeting and
talking over with the survivors the
thrilling scenes Of the battle fields of
the most cvcntful period Of the history
of this country. They should rcmem-
Der that might is not always right, and
that Napoleon Bonapartc was not cn-
tircly jusiifiablc in his conclusions
when he said that stProvidcncc was
always OH the side Of the strongest
artillery" We have yet destiny to
work out, and tho sooner the South,
as whole, inaugurates the movement
ny enforcing the cOnVlCtlOn upon TIC
minds of the intelligent world, the
great advantages Of her soil, streams,
mineral resources, climate, etc, the
sooner her people will become con-
tented, happy, prosperous and pow
crful IN her influence and control for
good government. We are destined
yet 70 become great people; but I'M
fortunately that lcthargy so character
istic Of the inhabitants Of warm eli
mates and such unfortunate tutclagc
as most Of our leaders have undergone
in early life will retard (unless there
is radical change) the growth Of this
country many, very many years.
Hoping you may have q large num-
ber, nothing to mar the enjoyment OF
the occasion and with my best wishes,
1 am, very respectfully yours,

Have you enemies? Go straight on,
and mind them not. If they block up
your path, walk around them, and do your
duty regardless of their spite. A person
who has no enemies is seldom good for
anything they are made of that kind of
material which is so easily worked that
every one has a hand IN it. A stirling
character-one who thinks for himself.
and speaks what he thinks-is always
sure to have enemies. They are rs neccs

THAT twelve men are awful uncertain
sometimes, was fully demonstrated last
week in the trial of VIM. Whitlock for
assault and battery. 1t was conceded by
all but the jury who heard the evidence
in the trial that the facts did not warratt
a conviction and furthermore the prose
cution seemed nothing else than a tissue
of spitework on the part of a troublesome
neighbor. The facts brought out in the
trial were these: Whitlock owed a young
fellow, aged about 10 years, for labor,
but had bought an account against his
father. The Young man came to the
house of Wbitlock, demanded his pay
and insulted him in a manner that no
man would stand. Whitlock threw him
out Of his house, and henLe is fined for
protecting his home. If a nan has no
rights, it is about time the laws were
amended. At the verdict the people
became indignant and have a numerously
signed petition which will be presented
to the Governor praying for all abatement
Of the fine and costs. Judge Shannon
will earnestly favor the action of Gov.
Howard in the matter of abatement. Mr..
Whitelock is a poor man trying to get a
home in the west, and the payment OF
the fine and costs would cripple him, as
he would have to sell his seed wheat to
keep from going to Jail. Why the jury
brought in such a verdict, we cnhnot say,
and fear it was the result of bias on the
the part of two or three who did not
wish to see the evidence. In some mem
bers of that jury we have implicit conf
dence, but after a nights tussle in the
jury room they succumbed and brought
in the verdict we mention. We trust,
with hundreds of others, that Mr.. Whit
lock may get clear Of paying that unjust
bill Of costs and fine.

A friend Of the late NJ. NJ. Rich wrote
the following lines, which were first pub
in the Sioux City T. 'b,tac:
The form we loved. is resting now,
No cares disturb the placid brow,
He lives beyond the reach of pain:
Our loss, we trust, will be his gain.
The grave has closed above his form
Until thu resurrection morn:
But his kind deeds fond memory stiil
With ~greatful thoughts oar bosoms Ill.
Kind words and actions are not lost:
What though the grave its power can boast,
II can but claim its kindred dust.
Nor soil the virtues OF the just.
We think If her--thc stricken wife
How lonely now must be her life:
A few short years, since Ivy his side
She stood, a loved and happy bride.
His little ones NJ longer hear
That fathers voice in tones SO dear:
Not for his loved ones cou.d he stay,
His savior calls he must obey.
Yes, he has gone nj Gods command
10 dwell within the spirit lard.
Sad heart, be still, nor question why
That loved one thus was called to die.
Remember he wounds but TO heal,
In his own time he will reveal,
What now, through tears thou cans't not see
His kindness will make known TO thee.

MRS. D. DREW, of Sioux City, gave a

yet beautiful songs, she will be greeted

In the west where there are no springs
and few brooks where the water trickles
over the stones beneath the cooling shade
Of w%itchhazel, ash and beech trees, it is
one of the first thoughts of the farmer.
merchant, or settlers in general, to have
a good we'll and pump by which good
water can be obtained at little labor.
Many pumps have been tried; some have
been successful, while others have failed
The pump that has given the most gen

these pumps have been in use in this city
for over a year, and have never failed to
