Death at a Railroad Crossing.

ELMIRA, N. Y, July 27.-An accident
occurred about 8 o'clock this evening
on the Erie railroad crossing, near Ed
ridge Park, in which four persons were
killed and two so seriously injured that
the doctors say they are likely to die at
any moment.
The accident occurred while the Rev.
Wellington White was out driving with
his wife and three children, Hattie Hast
ings, a daughter of a neighbor. and Susie
McCartv, a nurse girl
Approaching the crossing of the rail-
road, a freight train, which had been cut
in two to allow vehicles to drive in the
park, occupied the near track. Mr..
White, believing that everything was
clear, and not being warned by the sig
nal man, drove between the halves Of
the freight train upon the other track
just in time to be struck by Erie passen-
ger train No. "a, from the West.
Mr.. White, his daughter Lillian, aged
nine, Hattie Hastings, aged nine, and
Susie McCarty, aged nine, were instant
ly killed. Mrs. White and child two

Surrenders It's Charter,

WEDGEFIELD, ). c., July 27.-At the
regular meeting of the Wedgeiield Sub
Alliance Saturday afternoon it was un-
animously resolved to disband and re.
t., the charter.
Their reasons for taking this step are
not secret, and prominent member of
the Alliance said:
THE entry of the Alliance into pol-
tics having seemingly destroyed all in
terest in the prime objects of the organ
iZatiOn, and the recent actions of the
county and State Alliances having
shown that all who will not follow the
behests OF coat-tail politicians and swal
low the visionary sub-treasury bill i'm
toto are to be held no longer loyal Ali
ancemen or worthy of consideration in
the councils OF the order, the Wedgelield
b-Alliance is much displeased at this
prostitution of the organization. which
is still worthy of great veneralion in its
true conception, and has decided that
rather than be compelled to give up their
manhood and the inalienable right to
think and vote as the members choose,
they will leave the organization to the
fate which IS yawning to receive it, T
its present policy and leaders are fol
lowed"

Cheering to the Farmers.

The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin Of the South Carolina weather ser
vice, in cooperation with the United
States Signal Service, for the past week
was issued Saturday afternoon and it is
as follows, giving much encouragement
to the farmers in the various sections
of the State.
The total rainfall was about the nor
NAL and we'll distributed, and was bene-
ticial TO the growing crops, particularly
in those sections where the drouth had
prevailed for some time. Temperature
and sunshine have been about an aver
age amountand have been of material
benefit to crops.
From one end of the State to the
other comes the cheering news that
there has been marked improvement
OF the condition of the ,tton crop over
that OF the previous week. The dry and
cool weather had somewhat checked
not only the growth of the plant, but
had prevented it from taking on fruit
By tho recent showers the plant has re-
covered its lost condition and decided
improvement is noticed. Most of the
crop is clean and was just in condition
TO be benefited by the rains. The great
est drawback to the crop is the inferior
stands which will necessarily reduce
the yield.
The corn has suffered less than cotton
from the effects of the drouth. The crop
on bottom lands was never better, but
rs young. An average crop may be ex-
pected and the yield will be much larger
than last years,
The rice crop while In fair condition
has suffered in some sections from
drouth, but as rain have fallen In those
sections wnere most needed the pros
poets are much brighter than they were
at the last report.

A Work Shop.

Every farmer has almost
constant-need of a work shop. 1t
may not be seperate building; a place
at one side of the carriage-rOom will
answer. There should he good sized
bench with vice at one end and a
place for using the planes, of which
there should be at least two kinds pro-
vided. A shaving bench, with a draw
ing knife, is an essential feature of a
well stocked work shop; and saws, CHS
els, bit-stocks, and bits, hatchet, files.
screw drivers, wrenches, etc, should ali
be at hand. For work in metal, punches,
cold -chisels. anvil. etc, are all needed.
a soldering iron is important, and also
few needles and avis for doing the ne
cessary mending of the harness. BY
those provided with work shop or
work room, many rainy day may be
turned to good account. a well-equip-
ped work shop will do much to make
the boys interested in the farm work,
and tend strongly to keep them at home
when they might be tempted to go to
tho village or elsewhere.

The Farmers Alliance of Kansas.

The Farmers Alliance of Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri, have
organized trust to control the grain
and cotton markets of the United
States. President McGrath. of the
Kansas Alliance, said that the Alliance
in the future would depend more ON
business management than on politics.
He said that when there was a rise in
the market they would only sell
enough grain to satisfy the demand,
and thus prevent the spectators from
getting control. The Kansas agent of
the Alliance has sent advertisements
to the Alliance papers throughout the
State stating that he would advance
money to all farmers depositing eraiu
in the A lance arehouses sufficient to
meet their necessity, and would give
them the advantage of the rise in the
m .rket when it came.
