Serious Accident to an Aged Citizen.

On last Friday morning Mr.. Archy
Sloau met with a very serious, and
what may prove, fatal accident. He
is an aged and respected citizen whose
home is about three or four miles from
town. He was hauling wood to town
and was on a two-horse wagon near the
railroad crossing on O'Neali street, and
not expecting train, but the material
train on the c., n. & L. road came up
and his mules became frightened and
ran off with him. AS he was carried
rapidly along he fell off the wagon in
the street just between Mrs. Barre's
and Mrs. Boozer's and the wheel either
passed over his leg or it was broken
IN the fall. 1t was so badly broken as
to require aluputation. Drs. Mayer
and Glider attended him and cut off
the leg Just below the knee.
He is still at Mrs. BooZer's, where he
was taken when the accident occurred.
His age is against his recovery. being
now about seventy-three years old.

Arrested on Suspicion.

An account was published in Sum-
days State of the robbery Of Mr.. w. T..
Jones' store at Santuc. Some one broke
open bis safe and took about 500.
Policeman Cromer saw it and suspected
a man who was at the Lovelace House
by the name of Moore, claiming to be
selling stuff for polishing silverware
and so forth.
Policeman Bishop arrested him on
Monday morning and notified Mr..
Jones, who arrived in the afternoon.
He identified him as man who was
around Santuc about the time of the
robbery, but he had no evidence and
did not take out a warrant, and the
man was released. He has a partner
but he'has not been to town.
Some one stole from Mr.. r. S. Perry
his pocket book and Mr.. Perry says it
was this man. The pocket book had
five dollars in it and bank note.
Yesterday morning the pocket book
was found near by where Moore was
when Mr.. Bishop arrested him in the
lot in rear Of the shop of Berry Neely.
The note and some other papers were
in it, but the five dollars was not
there: Moore is gone and will not prob
ably return by this route.

two Narrow Escapes.

Last Saturday Mr.. Henry n. Auton,
who was digging we'll on Factory
bill, had narrow escape. A tub filled
with brick broke loose near the top
and went crashing to the bottom of the
we'll where Mr.. Auton was working.
He happened to get in the opposite
corner from where the tub struck and
was not hurt.
Mrs. Dave Roden, who lives near by,
was applyin & some creosote to an ach-
ing tooth. She put the bottle on the
table and rushed out to see if Mr..
Auton bad been hurt. Her little three
year old child took up the bottle and
began to drink the poisonous drug. DR..
Kibler was summoned and applied
remedies, and all are doing well.
These are two narrow escapes, and
maybe will teach lesson.

See Ourselves as Others See Us.

The n. Y. Times has the following
to say, editorially, of the appointment
of Stobo Farrow to an important Office
in Washington by MIR. Cleveland:
"It is to be hoped that the TilIman-
ties from South Carolina, now in Wash
ington, are correct in interpreting the
nomination to q treasury Office of Mr..
Farrow of that State, as sign of the
intention of the Administration to do
nothing to strengthen the Tillman fac
ton there.
"While We are a. averse as any one
can be to the recognition of partizan
distinctions in appointments, and De-
lieve this one entirely fit to be made
independent of politics, we regard ac-
tive advocacy Of Tillmanism as posi-
tive disqualification for the Federal
service, not only because the avowed
purposes of the faction are singularly
dangerous, but because its methods in
South Carolina have been extremely
bad. The obvious desire of the people
of South Carolina to get rid of it as
soon as possible should in no wise be
restrained or impeded by the Admins
tration,"

tact. No one singer is re-

they are like rich, finely toned, and

AN OPEN LETTER.

M1LLERsBURG, KY, March 8, 1893.
Mr.. j. S. {. Carpenter, Gen. Agt. +.
H. F. T. H., Chester, S. C.-Dear Sir {:
Yours to hand, saying that you have
met with adverse criticism in organ
izing and operating cooperative plan
of fire insurance in your State. We
have many Associations in this State
that have been in operation for from
10 to Is years, and there is not one of
them that has not furnished insurance
10 the people for less than half of what
the old line companies charge for fire
only, and we have Invariably paid the
loser of property without the least ten
dency to quibble. Yet with all these
facts and not a single failure on record,
those whose bread and butter depend
upon downing this insurance principle
are everlastingly crying that they will
break! The last association organized
in this State was in August, '91, one Of
the worst fire years in the history of
the country. Yet we paid every loss
promptly and saved $500 on the $1,000
insurance and had protection against
wind and lightning as well as fire.
During that period no less than 81 lire
insurance companies went to the wall
SO of those that broke were on the mu-
tual plan and Al on the capital plan.
Not a cooperative company was to
be found in the list Of wrecks. Ex-
perience has taught all fire COM
panies that fires do not come singly
but in groups. but when averaged up
our plan must necessarily fall below
the cost of a company run for profit2
else how could they run. No associa=
ton, however, of this kind has ever
cost as much in any one year, no odds
how unfortunate, as capital company,
Yours truly, and in sympathy with
any man who tries to lead the people
out Of financial Egypt.
