1he uook and ladder company.

Mr.. EDITOR: There seems to be mis-
taken idea in regard to the Independent
Hook and Ladder Company that may DO
deterring some of our able-bodied young
men from joining, and that is that those
who join the Company will have to pay
their pro rata share for the Truck. The
young men who assumed the response
bility of buying the Truck expect to get
aid from the citizens in paying for it, and
those who join will have nothing to do
with paying for the Truck, except as they
may feel disposed.
1t may be said that We are too Undo
pendent Yes, we are independent to
this extent: Seeing that Hook and Lad
der Company was necessary adjunct to
the Fire Department. consisting at that
time of one Company, and knowing that
the Council would buy hand Engine,
we felt that it would bo useless to ask
them to buy O Truck for the use of the
Company, and wo were independents
enough to assume the responsibility of
paying for and working it. We arc not
too Independent to ask aid, and we hereby
ask the young men of Anderson to send
in their applications iol membership. We
have no objection to married men-in
fact, would like to have few in our
ranks. Any information not given here
will be freely given by the undersigned or
any member.

Honor to whom Honor is Due.

MR.. EDITOR: We arc in the habit OF
censuring the County Commissioners for
short comings and failures to perform
duties, and whenever they do their full
duty we should not withhold public ap-
probation. During the January frcshet
new bridge across Rocky River, at the
Emerson bridge place, was washed Off,
and few days since Commissioner
Norris as supervisor, with w. t. McGill
as architect, got up fine lot of timber,
and III ten days put up a we'll constructed,
substantial bridge, II feet long, with new
rock abutments, at cost Of not exceed
ing $lSOOO There is no doubt but the
County would bo greatly improved, es-
pecially ir its crossings, if the County
Commissioners would take the building
of bridges under their personal manage
ment This work would be more COM
plete to have a good coat of somo cheap
paint over it, and would certainly pay
we'll by protecting the timbers of the
bridge. n.

Killed by the Train,


Tom Cummings, half-demented ne
gro, met with most tragic death
last Thursday morning at the Three
and. Twenty trestle, on the Blue Ridge
Railroad, near Pendleton Factory. For
some past Tom had been residing with
Mr.. R. M. Burriss, who lives three miles
above this city, but two days prior to
his death he disappeared from his home,
and nothing was heard of him until
Thursday morning. when the news of his
fatal accident reached his people. It
seems that he went in the direction of
Pendleton, and on Wednesday he was
seen by some of the section hands walk
ing up and down the railroad near the
trestle. This was no unusual sight to
them, and they thought nothing more of
it. On Thursday morning as the up
freight train was speeding on it's way, and
when near the trestle, the engineer no.
ticed what he thought was an old coat
lying on the track. He kept his eyes
open, and when in few yards of the OBJ
ject he saw that it was man, and that he
was trying to get up. The engineer blew
on the brakes, but it was too late, for in
another second the pilot of the engine
struck the poor negro and threw him off
the trestle to. the ground below, a dis
tance OF sixty-seven feet. AS soon as the
train could be stopped, the conductor and
engineer went back to the trestle and
found the negro on the ground dead. One
of the train hands was left with the body,
and the train continued on it's way to
Pendleton, where the news of the acci-
dent was made known. Coroner Nance
went to the scene of the accident and
held an inquest over the body that after
noon. The jury, after hearing the evil
dence of the conductor and engineer,
which was in substance as related above,
rendered verdict that the deceased came
to his death by his own carelessness, and
exonerated the railroad officials from all
blame. The railroad company provided
coffin and suit of burial clothes for
the deceased aud brought his remains to
this city, where it was received by his
family and inferred in the colored
cemetery. Cummings body was not
bruised or scratched, but his backbone
was broken, which is supposed to have
been done by the forco of fall or by the
pilot of the engine.
