The Faarflll Ride to Death.

No pen will ever describe the mighty
rush Of that heavy freight train down the
three mile grade at: Saluda few days
ago. It occurred Fat the dead hour of
midnight when no one could see it. The
survivors were so dazed that they could
tell nothing about it. It is not even
known how the engines got their start.
Both engines were in front of the train,
the front one running backwards and the
other forwards. The descent was about
23G feet TO the mile. The train was e
long one, loaded with lumber and coal.
Heavy steel rails are laid on the steep
grade and. fol, nearly half q mile this side
of the river at Melrose. Lewis Tunstall
was in charge of the engine for assisting
up and down the grade. It is generally
believed that engineer Smyer, in charge
of the freight first lost control of his en-.
gine. The conductor was in his cab at
the rear Of the train. The two firemen
were In their places. tits estimated that
the train went at the rate, of 125 to 175
miles an hour for the last mile. So ter
rible was the rush that the cab, or cover
ing, was blown from the engine before it
jumped the track. The survivors stated
that they thought the hair would be
blown from the top of their heads. The
train was derailed about the time it got
off of the steel track and struck the iron
rails. The engines and cars were thrown
far down the steep decliYity toward the
river. So great was the destruction that
nothing Of any value could be saved.
The engines were completely demolished.
The cab was split into thousand frag.
msnts. It ID supposed that the conductor
had crawled out on coal Car in front of
the cab and thus escaped without serious
injury. The two engineers aud one fire.
man were suddenly killed. The other
fireman crawled out from the wreck Of
one of the engines and was not much
hurt. One shudderc to tbilk Whist would
have been the result, if it had been a
long passenger train with several hundred
persons on board. Some persons think,
if the front engine had not been running
backwards, that it would have remained
on the track. Others believe that if the
steel rails had been laid to Tyron that the
train would have stuck to the track. 1t
was a fearful calamity, and we hope it
will never be repeated. ed.-Sparton6urg

The Force Bill Passed.

The Republican majority in the House
has passed the force bill by eight MAORI.
/ ty.. It will now be sent to the Senate
and there must take uncertain chances.
The custom OF: the Senate does not allow
any previous question, and provides no
way forlimiting discussion. There is
nothing o;press the Lodge bill to speedy
conclusion, and it is probable that the
tariff and appropriation bills will occupy
the upper house for the rest of the ses !.
Sion. It is not certain that the force
bill can be passed in time for the Novem.
ber elections, and before 1892 the echoes
from the. people will be too strong to
admit further talnperiug With the bal.
lot box. -. =
z z. The passage of the bill In the House
is of piece with the partisan legislation
of the session. In the opinion of many,
the adoption of the Lehlbach amendment,
making the law applicable to every
County and State, would have defeated
the bill, and this amendment would, have
passed but for Democratic absentees.. i
The bill is Infamous. It will not &C.
Gomplish its purpose. It will recoil upon
the North with certain effect It will
fall Of its own partisan weight and by its
own diabolical snaachinery. For it ,is
true now as It was when. Grady spoke in
Boston that the negro vote can never
control. in the South, and it would be
well If the partisans in the North would
understand its You may pass
force: bills, but they will not avail, You
may surrender your own liberties to
Federal election law you may deliver
your election machinery into the hands
ofthe government, but never will sim
gle State Of this Union be delivered
again to the control of an ignorant and
inferior race. We wrested our State
government from negro supremacy when
the Federal drum beat rolled closer to
the ballot box and Federal bayonets
lhedged it deeper about than will ever
again be permitted in this free govern
ment.. But though the cannon Of this
republic thundsred in: every voting dis.
trict of the South we still should find in
the mercy of God the means and the
courage to prevent its re; establishment.

about one THOUSAND sleep killed outright.

w. A. Pollard, farmer who lives in
this county, was in the city q few days
ago, and to some of his friends he told the
following story, which is vouched for by
those living in the neighborhood (; About
nineteen years ago Mr.. Pollard hired
himself to the late Alex Spillers, well.

month he received suit of clothes as
pay. Mr.. Pollard was then employed
permanently as farm hand. he had
been with Mr.. Spillers but a short time

Pollard asked Mr.. Spillers to give him
the child as his wife when she arrived at
the proper age. Mr.. Spillers consented,
and said if Mr.. Pollard stayed with him
he should have his daughter at sixteen.
Through sixteen years the young man
worked with his employer, and at sixteen
claimed the young lady as his fance and
was soon after married to her. He is
now the father of two children, and at

The tariff bill is to come up next week,
and unless they have 9 distinct under
standing from the Republicans that no
attempt will be made to pass. the ifoIce
bill, they will keep up the tariff discussion
ito the exclusion Of everything else, except
appropriation bills, for fully two months.
IT: will then be too late to pass election
bill and have. it operative in the fall
elections and it will, consequently, go
over until the next session. Thus, the
only chance now left for: those Republican
Senators who favor the:force bill to pass
it at this session will be.to change the
rules of the Senate and adopt Reeds gag
code, or else adopt gag rule for this
measure alone. But, as has; been repeat
edly stated in these dispatches, the Sher-
man: Chandler gang will not be able to
accomplish this in the face of the oppo.
.Bition:l led by Edmunds and Ingalls,. Reed
IS now at work upon the President to
persuade him to force the Senate to pass
the bill. Reeds argument is that if the
bill goes over without the Senate taking
action upon it, it will resultin the ruin of
the G.: %. .P..in the South, and that the
next Congress will not contain g single
Republican representative. The meas.
ure, Reed argues, is extremely unpopular
in the South, aud the campaign will be
fought nit as an issue to the defeat of
the Republican party, unless it becomes
q law so. that the Republicans can execute
it to save themselves.
g Unless it becomes q law at this session
Reed, argued With the President, the Re.
publicans will go down into defeat from
which they cannot hope to rise in many
wears. Indeed, he said, unless it was
passed at this session 1t would never pass,
and to stop the fight at this stage, be ar.
Rued would place the administration in
an exceedingly embarrassing position be-
fore the country.
8. Mr.. Harrison agrees with the Maine
tyrant in all his argument, and he Will
endeayor to force the bill through, but
there is nothing many Republican sena'
ators would like better than to place the
little man in the White Houge in position
of failure before the country, and the
chances are they will do it.
The Gght bids fair to be interesting,
and it is certain that some Presidential
aspirant will 60 down into his political
grave before it ends.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Rev. Sam
Jones, who is in the city temporarily, in
course of an interview with Post repor..
ter tonight, said:
"These folks who think they can do
anything With. the federal election bill
are mistaken. a free ballot and fair
count in the South means negro domina.
ton, and the South won't have it. The
election law will be a dead letter, like
the fifteenth amendment. 1t would take
$5OO,00O to enforce it, regiment in every
County. A negro is killed in the South
once in while,-killed with lead. Up
in Indiana they kill white voters with
silver. You buy voters up north with
money. In tbe South one gets killed
opce in q while. It is cheaper, but a
hundred sre purchased in che North
where one Is killed in the South, and the
purchasing of votes is as dangerous to
the republic as the killing of voters.

Mr.. EDITOR: The meeting of the
Anderson County Alliance on the 4th
inst, was one of Importance, and lis not
extrayagant to say thatsit was one OF the
most harmonious, pleasant and efficient
meetings the Alliance has ever held.
The Alliances in the County were gener.
ally represented with full delegation,
and all seemed to realize that they had
come to attend to Alliance business and
applied themselves to it.
It was the annual meeting, at which Of
6cers are elected for thevensuing year,
WHICH added to the interest of the occa-
sion. Col.J W. Norris, who has faith.
fully and efficiently served as President of
the Anderson County Alliance since its

the following preamble and resolutions,
unanimously adopted by the Alliance by
rising vote, and ordered published by
the Alliance, shows the appreciation of
his services:
Whereas, Col. J. W. Norris has presi.
ded over this Alliance for the past two
years with ability, fairness and efficiency,
therefore be it
l. Resolued, That the thanks of this
Alliance are due, and are hereby tender
ed, Col. j. w. Norris for his service
among us as the President of our Alli-
ance.
2. That we cherish for him the highest
esteem, and our best wishes will ever at
tend him.
Dol. Norris responded in short but
appropriate address, with assurances of an
abiding interest in Alliance principles.

Many other matters of interest and

to effect many of these interests. The
removal of the cotton platform near the

newspaper in Anderson County, were
two Of these interests,

and Dixon's line. It is thing of the
past. It u.s. history.
North of the old line majority of the
voters favored one plan, one method, one
idea. South Of it a majority favored the
reverse.
The Farmers Alliance is now obliter-
ating the old line by giving us new
policy. The new line, the new Mason's
and Dixon's 3 line, or the Farmers aud
Alliance line will be drawn from Toledo,
on the western extremity of Lake Erie,
to the mouth of the Potomac. East,
north and northeast of this line pluto
cracy has its seat and center. 1t is the
manufacturing end of the United States.
All South and West agriculture predom-
mates. The United States has an area of
over $500, 900 square miles and less than
100000 square2miles of it lies east and
north of this. new line.
About one eighteenth part of the Uni.
ted States is the tail, but it wags the dog.
Lessthan 20 of the 65 millions of people
lire northeast of this new dividing line,
Of the so billions of dollars of wealth in
the United States one.h half or 10000
millions Of wealth lie east of this line.
The platforms of the Democratic and
Republican parties are formulated in its
center. ....zsz
Will the people longer allow the tail to
wag the dog. The great struggle for the
supremacy Of power lies between the in
terests of the people on either side of this
line. On the one side is the concentra-
tion of the money power OF the. country.
On the other all those resources and in
dustries and interests upon which this
money power has grown and waxed fat.
What will the issue be? If the people
are true to themselves, to their country
are numbered. Let the people watch
and be prudent.
