Some time ago, au article was ex-
tenslyely published, saying that the
passes issued to newspapermen for
the Worlds Fair amounted in value
to several million Of dollars. II was

have been issued, even ifseyery per
son engaged IN newspaper work in
the United States should have his
pockets full Investigation, how
ever, lately Aas shown that out of
10000 passes issued 1000 have gone
to newspapermen, which is very

that there are 10000 newspapers in

took fire and burned fercely through.

Seven oil cars, four refrigerator
cars, an engine and box car were
reduced TO ashes, but all the rest of
the train was hauled out Of the way.
The fire alarm was responded TO very
quickly and streams OF water were
turned on the houses ON Pine street.
Fred Mcrrilrs dwelling caught fire
and the interior was ruined. He
had no insurance and his loss will
reach $4,000.
The wind was blowing TO the east
and the sen of flame and smoke
swept over the cemetery. Many
tombstoncs were cracked by the
heat. After several hours OF hard
work the flames were controlled and
the wreck crew began work. One
of the tanks fell as it was being
lifted by the big derrick and Mt once
busted into a sheet Of fire. Track
men were put TO work mt nine o. clock
and built track around the wreck.
The Sunbury Military Company

holes in the tanks of the oil cars,

Tragedy on the Line.

On Saturday afternoon, June Mth,
there occurred on the border of our
county homicide possessed Of more
than the usual elements of horror
horrible not only because mans life
was taken, but appalling because OF
the kinship Of the slayers and the
slain.
The scene Of the tragedy is on the
line between the States of North and
South Carolina and on the Northwest
ern boundary Of Oconee county, about
twenty-five miles from Walhalla.
On the evening Of the 25th nit. Will
liam Dock Nicholson Informed some
of his neighbors that his brother Ben
nett was killed and that he had struck
his brother three blows with his fist,
Dock Nicholson has not been seen in
that section since.
Investigation showed that desper-
ate battle had beer. fought around the
house of Silas Nicholson, father of
Bennett and Dock. Bennett was found
badly wounded and carried to his home
near by. :. /.
The impression at once prevailed
that the father and the two sons were
engaged in the fight. Bennet was
known to be much stronger man
than his brother. Silas Nicholson has
given himself up to the authorities Of
Pennsylvania county, n. c., and is now
in Jail at Brevard and it is reported
that he has done made confession
No witnesses to the tragedy have been
found.
Silas Nicholson and Dock, who is
unmarried, lived together, their house
being built across the State line. Ben
nett lived on the same place and in
North Carolina. No previous difficulty
between the men has been reported and
it is thought that the three were
drinking on this occasion.
Bennett Nicholson lived until Thurs
day evening following. His skull was
broken just above the left eye and two
severe cuts in the abdomen and numer-
GUS smaller cuts and bruises were
found on his person. Two physicians,
Drs. Grimshaw and Builgin, disagreed
as to the cause Of his death-the cuts
or the blow in the head. He was ra-
tional up to the time of his death. He
made an affidavit, it is reported, and
said: Tell Brother Dock he has kill
ed me and that I would not have done
him that way"
The slain man was about IS years
old and leaves wife and one child, a
daughter Of 8 years. He was buried
at Pleasant Grove, N. G.. It is proba-
BILE that the remains have been taken
up and an inquest held by the officers
of Transylvania county.
Silas. Nicholson is about IS years
of age. and Dock (or William) is about
81.
The section of country where this
bloody tragedy was enacted is very re-
mote and it is possible this account
may be erroneous, but it is the result
Of a careful canvass for facts by the
Ne,os.-Oconee Ne,cs.

There is some truth in all this, even

Go anywhere where there was boom

collapse came and the builders have
scattered to parts unknown.
You can't force prosperity by a
boom, neither can it be forced by leg
islation at Washington. They may
grease the wagon so that it will run
easier, but no permanent relief will
come until there is demand for the
products of industry, whether they
come from the factories, the mills, the
furnaces or the soil. There has been
an ovcr-production in almost every

extravaganza at home. If a man gor

to take medicine. Just so most every

were cheap, and now when the shut
