A Wreck on the Southern.

ATLANTA, Aug. 1S.-The Southern
Railway passenger train, north bound,
which left Atlanta last night at o'clock
for Washington, was wrecked ninety
miles from the city, near Tocoa, at mid
night.
The train was rushing down a steep
grade between Toccoa and Mount Airy.
Suddenly the tender Of the engine leaped
from the track and the coupling that held
it to the engine was torn loose. The ten
der was hurled down forty-foot en-
bankment with terrific force, dragging
after it the cars that made up the train,
with the exception of the sleeper, which
was torn from the track, but was not
injured. The train was completely
wrecked. The coaches were piled upon
each other in fearful disorder. Express
Messenger Walter Greer, 25 years old, of
Columb bia, was killed instantly by being
pinned to the wall by the iron safe in his
car. A negro in the car was badly hurt,
his arm being mashed by the safe. The
mail agent was injured and had to be
brought back to his home in Atlanta.
others were more or less injured.
After breaking loose from the train, the
engine had a wild, exciting run Of five
miles. The air brake was broken and
sweeping down heaVy SraQo at speed
Of seventy miles an hour, the veteran
engineer found 1t impossible to stop his
engine. Every minute the speed was in
creased and the bobtailed locomotive sped
along like the wind, leaping from en-
bankment to embankment. The road is
perilous at this point, the cuts being mar
row and the embankments high. It is
in the vicinity of Mount Airy and Tallu-
lah Falls, and the midnight run of the
engineer was calculated to turn his hair
gray.
Hon. R. F. Kolb, of Alabama, was de-
tanned fourhours in the wreck. Said he !:
"It is the worst ever saw. How soul
escaped alive is a miracle that divine
Providence alone can explain"

Sensations In EdgetieId.

EpaEF1ELD, Aug. 15.-The jury in the
case of the State against the two Jones,
father and son, for the murder Of John
C. Swearingen, retired at 1850 yesterday
afternoon, and after remaining in the
Jury room for two hours returned and re-
auested q new charge from the Judge.
Retired the second time, and at 11:30 re-
turned verdict of 'Nor guilty"
Great interest was exhibited in the
case. The case depended mainly upon
the fact whether or not the deceased was
shot with pistol of different calibre.
The State had witnesses on hand to prove
conclusiyely that the ball in the head OF
deceased was of different size than the
other three balls found in the body of the
deceased. The Judge ruled out such
testimony. His rulings gave general
disappointment as to his ability as Judge,
and q regret that such an important case
was not tried by more able jurist. In
fact, Solicitor Nelson was treated with
such discourtesy by the Court that he
declined to make any argument in the
case before the jury. The case was
fought hard by the learned counsel asso.
ciated with the States attorney. The
arguments of j. w. Devore and j. VIM.
Thurmond for the prosecution were able
and forceful. Colonel Jas. Tillman did
not speak. The closing argument OF
Hon. G.. w. Croft, on the same side, is
regarded as perhaps the most eloquent
and touching appeal ever delivered in the
Edgefield court room. The speech Of ex-
Governor Sheppard for the defense is
also highly complimented. The case
consumed three days, the court room
was packed during the whole trial.

not be preferred against them for various

To Camp In the Capitol.

It is beginning to appear that the wo-
man sufragists of the State are going to
make every possible effort to have the
Constitutional Convention provide wo.
mans suffrage plank in the new Consti-
tuition when it meets, despite the opposi-
ton that the scheme had encountered
from the leaders of the dominant element,
who are SO strongly pushing the Missis-
sippi plan. It looks now as if the wo-
mans suffragists are going to come here
and camp in the capital during the ses-
sions of the Convention:
The Won,G,a'S Tribune, of Washington,
D. c., bearing date of Saturday last, has
this to say about Mrs. Neblett's plans:
"Mrs. Viola Neblett, of Greenville, S.
G, has been spending some days in
Washington, and the editor of the I1i-
bunc had several delightful visits with
her. Mrs. Neblett intends to camp with
the South Carolina Constitutional Con-
vention, which meets September Is, and
expacts nothing less than that her State
will be the third to adopt woman's suf-
frage. By Legislative enactment the
delegates have the power to settle the
whole matter as the Constitution goes
into effect as soon as passed by the Con-
vention. Ifit completes its labors before
0l0CLlOu AL " Iou Nl1O IN0UlSLL . CA
pectations may be realized"
Mrs. Neblett is most persistent she is
the recognized leader of the woman suf-
fragists Of South Carolina and if tie
female suffrage clause is not in the new
Constitution, it will be no fault of hers,
or those whom she will have to assist her
in her lobbying work.
The Nation, in commenting upon the
position taken by this paper on the wo-
mans suffrage scheme as means of
eliminating fraud and preserving white
supremacy, says:
"The Columbia State strongly advo-
Gates resort to qualified suffrage as
means of insuring white supremacy in
South Carolina without any possible
collision with the Federal Constitution.
Moreover, it says this idea meets with
marked favor, and it will have its sup
porters in the coming Constitutional
Convention. That such an innovation
should be the result of emancipation
must seem odd enough to those who re-
member how the ante bellum South
prided itself on its Chinese wall against
isms; yet the situation is 80 desperate
that we may see woman suffrage enacted
in South Carolina before it establishes
itself in Massachusetts, the original seat
of the agitation. ."-COlum6iG State.

/" The Bloody Angle"

Editors Intethgencer In your issue OF
August 14th appeared q clipping from the
Abbeyille Medium, and card from Ser
geant B. F. Brown, of Augusta, Ga. In
which he and the Editor Of the Medium
agree that the Yankee got back to the en-
emy's line at the "Bloody Angle" on the
18th of Mag, 1864, and suppose they are
correct, for if the Yankee they refer to
talked with Capt. Carlisle he was not the
one I saw, for the Thirteenth Regiment
was on the right of Orr's Regiment, and ]
am not sure but think the First Regime ent
was between the Thirteenth and Orr's.
The man that came up to where I was
standing and demanded our surrender
could not have been the man that Mr.
Brown saw but what led me to believe
he was the same man Mr.. Brown referred
to was that he was shot and fell after be
had started back to the Union lines. So
they were different men, both nearly met
the same fate, and all happened at the
same time. The mistake on my part was
easily made, as the Medium says there
may have been others who came over and
demanded our surrender.
The next time am IN Augusta. Mr.
Brown, would be glad to meet you, and
talk over the hard-fought battles in which
we were engaged from the Wilderness to
Petersburg, J. B c.,
Co. K, Orr's Rifles.

TIE ELECTION.

The election for delegates to the G ,nsti-
tutional Convention passed off quietly in
this County yesterday. There was very
little interest manifested in the election
throughout the County, and the nomi-
nees Of the primary were elected by a
big majority.
At the Anderson precinct 515 votes
were polled. The highest of the primary
nominees received 291, and the highest
of the opposition ticket 22s. The man.
ayers estimate the negro vote here at $50.
About one-half of the white vote polled
here was from the country.
On account of the rain this morning the
returns are coming in very slowly. Up
to the hour Of going to press az o'clock)
we have secured unofficial returns from
all of the precincts except two-Broylea
and Greenwood-and the result is as fol-
lows: Primary nominees, 1911; "Inde-
pendent" ticket, 473. The total vote will
be about $3.50, nearly one-half OF the
white vote of the County,

Patents have recently been taken out

Patents have recently been taken out
for an electric locomotive that is intended
to pull cars at the rate of from ITO to $50
miles an hour, and the probability is that
before many months have elapsed, some
of these locomotives will be in practical
operation between some of the larger
Northern cities-say New York, Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Boston. Those who have the scheme
under consideration, say the very nature
of the case requires the construction of
roads especially adapted to the purpose.
AS curves would be dangerous, the roads
must be perfect air lines. In order to
secure such a tremendous rate Of speed,
the cars must necessarily be small, and,
therefore, only few passengers can be
carried at time 1t is the intention,
however, to run trains at intervals of
five minutes. The track will either have
to be elevated or underground, so as to
avoid the danger of crossings, and as
local travel will not be worth catering
for, there will be no switches or side
tracks. The men who have control of
the patents say that the only considera-
ton now in the way of carrying out their
plans is the question as to which of the
big railroads will pay them the most for
O monopoly. Several Of the roads, they
say, are preparing to make offers.

To Exterminate the Caterpillar.

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-The Egyp-
tian Council Of ministers have formed q
commission to investigate and determine
practical means for the destruction Of the
cotton caterpillar in that country. The
commission will be assisted by bota-
mist, entomologist and chemist. Twenty
five hundred dollars has been voted to
defrav the expenses of the investigation.
United States Consul General Penfeld,
at Cairo, who forwards this information
to the State Department, shows that the
caterpillar has been destroyed in the past
by picking and burning all the leaves on
which eggs or young caterpillars were
found. The Consul General states that
the cheapness of Egyptian labor enabled
the foregoing methods to be followed at
a cost of about six shillings an acre.

A Remarkable Case.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 16.-A
remarkable case is reported from Gun
tersville, Ala. Mrs. James Rutherford,
a mem ber of q well-known family of the
County, fell into deep sleep some
months ago. AT the beginning of her
malady she would wake up after long
irregular intervals, but for three months
past she has not walked for moment
She is fed three times day, the food in
liquid form being placed in her mouth.
She swallows itreadily but mechanically.
Her husband is poor man and is not
in position to call eminent physicians
into the case, but he has carried her to
Guntersville, where the several practi-
toners there can diagnose her case and
prescribe for her. During the trip from
her home to Guntersville, lying as she
was on mattress in wagon and jolted
for six miles over rough road, she did
not awake, but continued undisturbed in
her deep, quiet sleep. Mrs. Rutherford
is thirty.tive years Of age, and has seven
children. Five Of them died last spring,
and it is thought that grief is at the bot
tom of her disease, whatever it is. She
brsathes naturally, her temperature is
normal and she appears to suffer no pain
whatever, but for three months not a
muscle of her body has raoved excepting
the apparently mechanical movement Of
her throat muscles in swallowing her
liquid diet. The physicians at Gunters-
vile do not understand her case.

The Charleston Evening Post of the
Z 18th inst. says: "The people of Charles
ton should see to it that the Port Royal
and Western Carolina railroad does not
fall into the hands of any system that is
working against Charleston. If this two
hundred mile system radiating from
Augusta through the richest section of
northwestern South Carolina could be
controlled by Charleston it would bo of
tremendous commercial advantage to
her. The system touches Greenville,
Spartanburg, Anderson, Laurens and
Greenwood, five of the best towns of the
State, and the establishment of intimate
relations between Charleston and these
communities would be of benefit incal-
Sculable. It is probable that sooner or
later, in fact is more than probable, that
very soon the Blue Ridge road will be
completed across the mountains from
Anderson to Knoxville" The Post is
Z correct about the Blue Ridge Road, and
: If Charleston does not arouse from her
le!hargy she will not be the terminus Of
! the Road.

Honorlng a Soldier.

GREENWOOD, Aug. 17.-Gen. Stephen
D. Lee of Mississippi, arrived here today
on visit to his brother, Mr.. a. st. Clair
Lee. He was received at the train with
considerable civic and military eclat.
The Maxwell Guards, under command
of Capt. Evans, fred volley while the
distinguished soldier was descending
from the train and then presented arms
while Gen. Lee was escorted from the
train by Intendant Carr to carriage
bedecked with State and Confederate
flags. The horses seemed to pay homage
to the brave soldier by chatting on their
bits and assuming very martial air.
The band played "Dixie," after which
Gen. Lee was escorted by the Maxwell
Guards, preceded by brass band, to the
home Of his brother. The rebel yell was
once more given and the friend of Jack
son signified his appreciation Of the honor
extended by passing through the crowd
of welcoming friends with uncovered
head.-SpeciGLt to the State.

An Atlanta Dynamitard.

ATLANTA, Aug. ia dynamite bomb
was exploded tonight against the side ol
the Church Grocery Company's store, al
Cain street and Piedmont avenue. The
store was crowded with customers, all ol
whom, however, escaped without seri-
GUS injury. Mr.. Church, the proprietor
was shocked, but not badly hurt. The
bomb was placed just outside Mr.
Church's private office and it is evident
that the purpose of the miscreant was tc
kill Church. The side of the building
was blown out and great excitement was
caused in the neighborhood. Mr.. Church
suspects negro boy, whom he had
arrested recently for theft. The boy was
seen in front of the store with package
under one arm five minutes before the
explosion. He has not been found since

There are, according to statistics,
nearly 10000 people arrested in the United
States each year, charged with killing in
some way, not always 80 as to constitute
murder, but some form Of homicide.
This does not mean, however, that there
are 10000 homicides yearly, since it Is
very frequent for two or more persons to
be arrested for the same crime. Still it
docs mean that with only little more
than double the population, we have
nearly four times as many homicides as
Italy, the most ignorant and fiery of the
modern nations.

Government statistics show that the
total consumption Of sugar in the United
States In 1894 was over 100000 tons, or
more than double the amount consumed
in 1880. OF this amount over 1,7O0, 600
tons were imported, a slightly larger pro-
portion then in 1880. The consumption
per capita increased from 43 pounds in
1880 to 63a pounds in 1894, an increase of
not far from so per cent. Notwithstand-
ing the growth in domestic production
{ the consumption has so increased that
the proportion of domestic sugar to the
total of sugar consumed is actually less
now than It was in 1880. In 1880 the
United States imported from the West
Indies more than rs per cent. of the for
eign sugar consumed, while in 1894
nearly so per cent. of the imports were
I from countries other than the West
Indies.

That we are
Asked Every Day.

QUESTION.-Mr. Minor, why are
you always busy
ANSWER.-"Eternal vigilance is
the price Of a living, and we must
have bread. We work for our GUS
toners when they are not here, and
hence we are ready when they come.
Q.-Why are you forever getting
in New Goods +?
A.-There is never ceasing stream
outward, and we must keep contin-
uous inflow in order to keep on q
level.
Q.-Why are people forever gab-
bing about you, pro and con?
A.-Our competitors feel the blows
we have dealt them, and would resent
the damage done them. Our Gus
toners talk because we give them
something worthy of mention.
Q.-Why are other merchants al
ways throwing off on your goods
A.-They hope to scare timid GUS
toners off the track, but they only
urge them on.
Q.-Why is it you never have time
to talk with a friend? Other people
say they have more time than any
thing else.
Ave don't have time to talk
because our customers, who are really
our employers, demand our very lest
services for their money paid.
Q.-Why is your house forever
crowded with goods new and custom
ers bright?
Ave are always crowded with
goods because our employers (cus-
tomers) are usually on hand demand
ing the stuff, and we must have it for
them. We are usually crowded with
customers because the average man
knows which side his bread is butter
ed. We acknowledge no dead, dull
seasons.
Q.-Why don't you employ more
help, and not keep so pushed all the
time?
A.-Ah! There's the point. Why
don't we do lots of things to make
our business more expensive and
charge the difference to you when you
trade with us !? Right here's where
hundreds Of good men drop their
candy. Our patrons want to pay for
store administration honestly and
economically managed. They want
full value for their dollars without
paying a few cents extra for an idle
clerk or two to sit around and white
on old goods boxes. In short, we
pay for the honest dollars we get with
honest goods at honest prices. And
that's why we laugh while competi-
ton frets.
We are in it for the Summer trade,
and want to sell you your Fruit Jars,
Jelly Tumblen, Water Jugs, &c.,
etc., &C., etc.
Yours always truly,
G. S. MINOR and
THE 10c. STORE.
