From The Shepherdsto,ca REGISTER

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND ITS
FATAL RESULT. "A feeling of gloom
was thrown over this community on
Tuesday afternoon by the announce
ment of severe accident to Mr.. d.
ID. Pendleton, who resided a little
more than a mile from town, and
this feeling was greatly intensified
when his death was announced a few
hours later. Mr.. Pendleton was hav-
ing his crop of grain threshed, and
was experimenting the work at the
threshing machine. While the ma
chine was running at full speed he
stepped on the platform over the cyl
inder, oneof the boards broke through,
and his left leg went into the cylinder.
In an instant the limb was ground
into shapeless mass. Mr.. Pendle-
ton was tenderly removed to his
house, near by, and physicians sum-
moned. He was fully conscious and
gave directions as to what should be
done until they arrived. His self.
control is spoken ofby those who were
with him as being wonderful. The
Drs. Reynolds, DR.. Tanner and DIR.
Butler soon arrived, and did what
they could to relieve him. Amputation
of the mangled limb was the danger
Gus necessity of the case, and about
eight O'Clock the operation was per-
formed. Mr.. Pendleton died two
hours afterward. He had never rail-
lied from the first shock of the acct
dent, and this, together with the great
loss of blood he had sustained, caused
the fatal result.
Mr.. Pendleton was native Virgin
ian, and came fron a long line of dis
tinguished ancestors. He was brave
soldier during the civil war, having
been a captain on the staff of General
Pendleton. Shortly after the war he
was married to Miss Helen Boteler,
daughter of Hon. A. r. Boteler. His
wife survives him, together with sew
en- children-tive girls and two boys.
Mr.. Pendleton was for number of
years teacher and for several terms
principal of Shepherd College. He
was about A years of age.

The Democratic Senatorial Con-
vention for this district will be held
at Berkeley Springs, Sept. 3Oth.
There seems to be some objections
to the attitude Jefferson County has
taken upon securing the candidate
for itself, but it may all be arranged
satisfactory. Berkeley has several
good men and is entitled to the
nomination. The Republicans
would just as soon defeat Berke,
ley as Jefferson man, while they
would prefer Berkeley Senator if
the fateS are against them.

The denomination of Hon. W. L.
Wilson for the third term in Con-

wing of the party. He supported
the Morrison free trade bill, which
would have passed but for the OPP
position of the Republicans and pro.
tective Democrats. Farmers OF Ber-
kelley. in voting for Mr.. Wilson you
are voting to take the wool off of the
backs of your sheep and to leave
pauper England flood this country
with her cheap goods. Labor men
who vote for him are taking the
bread out of their mouths and those
OF their children. Cheap products
mean cheap labor and poor living
and half the time no work. Are
you all ready to vote for that. We
think not.

to be pleasant on both sides, though
a close contest, we hope our neigh

unkind. Talk all you please about
good times, more work and higher
wages, hut treat all other combine
tons lightly,-the same as you would

be found more generous, and ex-

On the other hand, there are many
Republicans who will do such of
their Democratic friends as Messrs.

them no good. Like the Southern

CHARLESTON, S. C., Sept. 2.--The
death list of the earthquake here has
been made up. 1t numbers thirty
three. Some were killed instantly,
and others died from injuries re.
celved. There may probably be a few
more under the ruins. The injured
will probably number one hundred.
The last earthquake shock was ex-
perienced here at 11:50 last night.
The people are beginning to pick up
courage. For two long days and
nights of horror the people have
been camped out in the open parks
and squares. Reports from points
throughout South Carolina, ranging
from the extreme northwest to the
seacoast, tell of severe shocks with
moro or less resulting damage to
property without loss Of life so far
as known. In Orangeburg, people
became so much alarmed that many
moved to Columbia.
