The nomination of Secretary Lamar
to be Judge Of the United States Supreme
Court, was confirmed on Monday in the
United States Senate by vote of 80 to
%. It was a strict party vote, except
that Senators Riddleberger, Stewart and
Stanford voted with the Democrats and
secured confirmation. Judge Lamar
will be the first true type of the South
that has occupied seat upon the SUI
preme bench since the war. His ap.
pointment and confirmation, despite the
bloody shirt howl against him, shows that
the era of reconciliation has really be-
gun. Judge Lamar is a man of fine
ability and high character. He will
adorn the position he now occupies:

election day for refusal to pay his poll

Mr.. Chandler knows he cannot pass
this Bill through Congress, but it is
part of the scheme to fight the next
Presidential battle on sectional issues.
From these antics of the Republican
party, the Southern people can see the
evils from which Democratic supremacy
has freed them., There is very little
prospect of divided South, while the
Republican party thus continues to press
upon us the necessity of political solidity.
The South will stay so!idly Democratic
in self. defense, if her people are wise.

Through a Trestie.

CHESTER, S. c., Jan. IA terrible
disaster befell the north bound passenger
train last night on the Chester and
Lenoir Narrow Gauge Road. The train
left here on schedule time in the after
noon, and proceeded safely on its journey
until it was crossing trestle two miles
north of Hickory, N. G., when the trestle
suddenly gave way, precipitating the
entire train, with the exception of the
engine, to the ground beneath, fall Of
about twenty feet. The coaches were
piled one upon the other, the first class
coach on the second class, and the latter
on the express and mail car. They all
caught on fire in few minutes from the
stoves, and were soon entirely consumed.
Fortunately there were only five pas
sengers on board the ill.fated train at the
time of the disaster. Rev. Mr.. Bell, Of
Lenoir, was painfully injured on the
head. The other passengers sustained
only slight bruises. The train was in
charge Of Conductor Waddell, who was
slightly injured. L. II. Curry, the
express agent, was confined in his apart.
ment for some time between q safe and 8
door, and thought that his last hour had
come, but by hard work he succeeded in
releasing himself from his perilous posi-
tion.
The engine, after passing over the
trestle, left the track and fell over on its
side. 1t is badly damaged. The fireman
fell under the tender and was extricated
after considerable time and work. En-
gineer Dicks was slightly bruised.
The escape of the occupants of the
coaches is almost miraculous.

- Mormons have comfortable majori-
ty in the Utah legislature. On joint
ballot there are thirty.one Mormons to
five GentiIes. It must not be assumed,
however, that all the Mormons are polyg-
amista. From choice, fear of the Law
or, as matter of policy, many Mormons
have recently declared against polygamy,
and have offered, if Utah should be ad-
mitted as State, to prohibit polygamy
in the Constitution beyond the power of
amendment except by consent of Con-.
gress.
= Augusta expects a repetition Of
Atlanta's prohibition campaign, and pc.
titions are ready for circulation asking
Ordinary Walton to order an election.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
union is moving in the matter, and Mrs.
President Sibley says she wants to see
who are on her side. Very little excite.
ment and not much of contest is expect
ed by the liquor dealers, although
conservative people think Augusta favors
prohibition.
- The farmers of North Carolina, in
convention. assembled, have .cslled for
the establishment of an agricultural COL
lege at Raleigh, for restriction of immi.'
grafton, and for a repeal of the homestead
law, the last by unanimous vote. The
difference of opinion existing in different
communities as to the homestead law is a
serious study for the sociologist.

was all right O,if
THE trouble was precipitated by a ne

been given by the committee to allow no

primary election, Then there was a howl
from the Winters crowd, who claimed that
the negro was a, stsunch Democrat. He
was, OF course, voting their ticket. In tho
hubbub Tom GMyey struck at Claiborn
Walden, but was caught by Tidwell. At
this point Tom Madden, young deputy
sheriff, recently arrested for whipping bis
wife, crowded in and wanted to lick It'd
well, claiming that he had been showed
back too roughly, Mike Madden also bo-
gan TO raise racket, yelling That's my
brother and nobody shall hit him. | in
terfcred and told Mike to keep quiet him
self and also quiet his brother, or he would
be arrested and locked up. TO add to the
confusion and excitement, Tom Taylor
jumped out from behind the railing with his
hands in the air and said il the police
were not removed and he allowed 10 hold
the election in al orderly manner he would
close the polls. | told him there was no
necessity for all that foolishness. We
could and would keep order there. In
fact, there would have been no trouble
but for the Maddens and Taylor We
didn't want TO make any arrests only for
the most aggravated cases, because we
knew they would raise the devil OF howl,
and say we were breaking them up by ar
resting their workers. Suppose, though,
the police had made themselves conspicu-
Gus, and the deputy sherfis had been
faithfully trying to keep order. We never
would have heard the last of it. In this
case the deputy shcrills were attacking the
police, and trying to vote the negro against
the judges"
There is one thing the public should
not forget" said Sergt. Hedrick, in con.
clusiOn. mike Madden is under indict-
mcnt in the criminal court for assault with
pistol on Sergt. Koran, several
months ago, and has never been tried.
Policemen have been tried since then for
far less serious ofenses, though, and been
severely punished. Just let the public
remember this, bear in mind that this is
all In the same crowd downed in January,
and raising the howl now, and We will
abide by the verdict"

RAILWAY BUILDING.
The Miles OF Track To Be Laid viii
Reach $4,000,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 6.-The Rdlway Age,
in its forthcoming issue, will say: Con-
trary TO the general expectation at the
commencement of the year, and in spite Of
the uncertainty and danger in regard to
railway investments which the action OF
national and State authorities have caused,
the work of adding to the railway mileage
OF the country has continued to 60 on at q
rapid rate and the aggregate OF track laid
during the past six months now proves to
be actually greater than has ever been re-
ported in the same period with the excep-
ton OF last year, when our record for the
first half showed 3,754 miles laid the total
for the year reaching almost -, 900 miles
Our detailed record shows that between
January | and July of the present year
$500 miles OF main linc-not including
sidngs laid in the United States
This mileage is divided among 1853 lines,
and indicates what is to be characteristic
OF railway construction this year; that it
will be made up by the building OF Il great
number OF comparatively short roads in
stead OF being composed TO large degree
Of long lines built by few companies.
