A Fiendish ATTEMPT.

A railroad accident, which might hare
proved fatal to the large number of passen-
gers on the Northeastern train for Colum.
bia, last Friday night, Was avoided by o
chance equally as unusual as it was fortun.
ate. As the train was crossing trestle
near Otranto the passengers were surprised
by sudden lurch Of the train forward, and
an abrupt stop. Upon investigation, il
was found that some one had torn rail of
the track on the trestle which is just beyond
Otranto. The locomotive had, strange to
say, kept on the one rail- the wheel on the
other side having followed the sleeper and
mounted the track after passing the break.
The mail car and combination coach and
baggage car followed, but the passenger
coach was derailed, and narrowly missed
being thrown in the creek below.--Cha7'

A Bold and Skillful Rider.

On the Fork Road leading to Manning
and just across Black River, Mr. Tom Cole
son of our County Commissioner, T. j
Cole, while riding q highstrung young mule,
performed quite e. feat in horsemanship
one day last week.
:. The mule, as we were told, commenced
running and careering with him, and end.
ed the frolic by plunging headlong into one
of the side bitches of considerable depth,
and out again with the agility ofa cat. Mr.
Cole held his seat under these trying cir
cumstances, and finally brought the animal
under control without injury to either.

We regret to note the death OF
Miss Maggie Muldrow, daughter OF

She was an accomplished and lovely

The Democratic Executive Com
m;ttee will meet next Friday in the
Court House, to canvass the votes, to
determine who have been elected, aad
who are to be the candidates for The
next primary.
The meeting at the Baptist church
continues with interest A very large
congregation was in attendance last
Sunday morning; and Rev. T. J. Rooke
preached one Of his ablest sermons.
The entertainment-given last Thurs,
day evening in the Court House, by
the ladies of the Methodist church.
was an enjoyable occasion. The mu-
sic was well rendered, and the acting
good. Mr.. Jos II. Montgomery
Sbrousht down the house" several
times. Misses Monte Harvin and
Minnie Moore, and Mr. ". c. Davis
each recited a selection. The fnan'
tial part of it was a success, about
forty dollars having been realized BY

A Real Necessity.

We presume there is hardly q lady to be
found in our broad land, who, if she does
not already possess sewing machine, ex.
poets some day to become the owner OF
one.
But after the mind has been fully made
up to purchase one of these indispensable
articles, the question arises as to what kind
of machine to buy.
It should be so simply constructed that
the most inexperienced can successfully
operate it. The other points mainly to be
considered, and which are the most desira-
BILE, are durability, rapidity, capacity for
work, ease of operation, regularity Of mo-
ton, uniformity Of tension, and silence
while in operation.
The "ILigght-Running New Home" fills the
above requirements. ard is said to COM
bine the good points of all se%1ng ma
chimes, with the addition of many new III
pro7ements and labor-saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of other
machines, and every lady who is the happy
possessor of one may rest assured she has
indeed treasure. SEE ADVERTISEMENT.

Fragments from Foreston.
Sad and Sudden Deaths..Justiee Courts
Personal Mention.

FoREsToS, Aug. 13.-Last week brought
much sadness and sorrow to our usually
buoyant and bright little town. Death has
been in our midst, and claimed as his vic
tim, first the infant son of our esteemed
townsfolk, Mr.. and Mrs W. T. P. Sprott,
and very soon after its decease there cane
runner to Capt W R. Coskrey, who was
at Mr.. Sprott's, saying that Harry, son OF
Capt. Dupont, had been killed by mule.
The two were funeralzed at the Methodist
church here on Friday at eleven o'clock,
and buried at our cemetery soon after, the
Rev. Mr.. Porter officiating.
On the same day (Friday) an infant of
Alr. Dick Hodge died, and on Saturday
morning early our Trial Justice was sum-
moned to Mr.. Gideon Dennis's to hold an
inquest over the body Of Morgan Tucker,
who had fallen dead there, at about eleven
o'clock the night before. An inquest was
accordingly held, and from evidence brought
before the jury, it agreed that his death was
providental, he having been attacked by
paralysis, epilepsy, or heart disease. Our
sympathies are with the bereayed.
In the trial justice court last week the
following cases were disposed Of: The State
against Mariah Williams assault and bat
terry, fined $3.50 or ten days. She paid
the fine. The court viii convene again to-
day, when this case will be disposed Of:
The State against Elsie Lewis, assault.
Miss Florence Oliver has returned from
visit to Summerton.
MIR. H. B. Drose and family returned
from Florida on Saturday last.
Mrs. j. C. Davis, of Marion, is on visit
to her parents, DR.. and Mr.. S. p. Oliver.
Mrs. Jones, of Lake City, is visiting at
her daughters, Mrs. j. j. Bragdon.
Miss Ethelyn Bragdon is visiting rela-
tives in Marion county.
Tomorrow is the primary election. 1t is
to be hoped every voter viii turn out. and
do his duty.
The r. r. Co. has been making little
improvement here npon the depot, and has
also put up some neat cottages for the sec
ton hands The streets a1e being cleaned
of. Crops are fne,-so that on the whole
ForeStOn is on q boom. +.

Sick COnYictS.

The Columbia correspondent of the Neaos
and Caar;es, Aug. 13, says: The superin-
tendent and the physician of the Peniten-
dasy returned last night from visit OF IN
spection to the convict camps on the Eu-
tayyille Railroad At Summerton, In
Clarendon County, there have been two
camps on this road occupied BY over one
hundred and fifty men, and it was found
that there was an epidemic Of dysentery
prevalent at one of them Many of the
hands were quite i'll and the superintena-
ent at once, on the advice Of the Penltentia-
" physician and also the resident physi-
esan at the camps ordered all Of the convic:s
who are not able to work back to the penl-
tentiary for treatment. They are expected
IN a few days, when it IS hoped that a
change of air and diet and careful treat
mens will soon restore them to health. The
Dysentery became epidemic among these
hands while they were at work IN the pnos-
phate works near SummerTille, and they
were removed to the Eutawvile Road with
the hope that they would be benefited
They failed to i'm prove as the disease had
become chronic, and they are now ordered
back tothe Penitentiary for complete rest
and treatment.

a Convict Killed.

On last Wednesday, one of the convicts al
work in the lower part of the county, on the
new railroad, made bold dash for sweet
libertys sake, and was fred upon by the
guard five times. One shot striking vital
point resulted in his death the following
day.
It is said the convict alluded to expressed
indifference, as to whether he died from q
gun shot wound or the Santee Swamp fe.
vers he made the fatal choice, and has
gathered in the results.

In irving to free himself he dragged the
