a THRILLING INCIDENT.
Children Run Down by an Engine--Dro
Between Cross Ties.

Children Run Down by an Engine--Drop
Between Cross Ties.
The children Of Mr.. John Mulls and
Mr.. Wilkes Rushing, had a thrilling
experience and narrow escape from a
horrible death Wednesday night.
They went 10 the Victor chapel 10
service. On going bone they con-
cluded to 60 down the railroad tro,k.
When in the middle of the long trestle
they saw the shifting engine bearing
down upon hem. They were all
young folks, but acted with wonderful
presence of mind. Instea, of trying
to outrun the engine, they swung down
underneath the cross ties until the
engine passed over lem. The larger
children on crawling back on the track
ran home as fast As they could. One
of the smallest childrr.I WGs found to
be missing from the :ashings crowd,
so the other children told Mr.. Rush
inss that the child, they supposed, had
been run over by the train. He hurried
to the tresile and found the little one
lying in some sort of way between the
cross ties. She had started to run and
fallen, and just lay there until the
engine passed over her.-Charlotte OBJ

IF Mr.. Gilman had begun his fight
against the old administration merely
on the ground that they were the pro-
ducts of a ring and that we had lot
of old politicians which were an en-
cumbrance to the State, many good
men who oppose him now would have
been on his side. The trouble is that
MIR. Tillman brought up q practically
harmless little ring only to establish a
ring such as we have never bad in this
State. He hss himself been guilty Of
many things which he alleged in his
famous campaign Of 1890. We un-
doubtedly have tyrannical, daring,
bold and open political Ring in the
State, controlling the State govern
ment just as it chooses. 1t ought to be
smashed, and we are willing to join
the Forty in helping to do it. We be-
lieve that a majority of the Conser-
vstives will join the Forty i'll this
common cause. The Forty cannot do
it alone The Conservatives cannot do
= alone. They must combine. What
have the Forty 70 say about it?

CARE has been taken of the poor III
Winnsboro. The colored people have
been unable to get work during this
severe cold weather, and many de-
serving colored people have been with
oat food and fuel. OF course, chari-
ties will fall alike on the uadeserving,
but the several committees have tried
to ascertain in each case whether or
not applicants were deserving Of help.
We hope that the colored people will
appreciate the efforts that have been
made in their behalf. This cold win
ter:should not be forgotten BY them
next spring and summer. 1t is not
unusual during these seasons to sea Q
large number of loafers on our streets.
If these idlers wished, they could find
plenty Of work to do in the crops. We
hope that the Council will rigidly en-
force the vagrant law next summer.
If this IS done, much will be accom-
plished towards relieving suffering
during the cold winter months.

MYSTERIES!
The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries,

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centers. located In or neaf
the base Of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they. supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When It IS re
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented BY the injury. from reaching tho
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement Of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds Of chronic diseases are due 10
the imperfect action OF the nerve centcrs ct
the base OF the brain, not from dcrangc-
ment primarily originating in the organ IL
self. The great mistake OF physicians in
treating these diseases Is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause Of the trouble.
DR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spc-
cialist. has profoundly studied this subject fer
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries In connec tion with 1t, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness. dullneSs, confusion, pressure, blue,
mania. melancholy. insanity, epilepsy. s.
Yitus dance etc.. are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success Of
Dr.. Miles Restorative Nerrine is due to the
fact thatitis based on the foregoing principle.

NORTHWESTERN MILLING.

Heavy Output at Minneapolis and Head
Lakes-Prices Lower.
MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. 23.-According
to the Northwestern Miller the Mime
apolis flour output was ZIG, $50 barrels.
against l76, l75 a week ago., and 223. 900
barrels in 1894. The Superior.D Duluth
output was 80, 500 barrels last week.
against GA, 1870 the previous week, and
80, 5l6 in 1894.
The Minneapolis mills are running
aoout the same, though the output
may show some increase this week.
Some o. the big companies have large
blocks OF patent to get out for export,
and several of the mills are being run
exclusively on such orxers.
Higher ocean rates and lower foreign
exchange make exporting more diff
cult.
The output Mt SUPERIOR Duluth may
decrease 25, 900 barrels this week. The
flour market is dull, and local millers
are able to do very little with buyers.
Lower foreign exchange, higher ocean
rates and declining prices of feed, work
against business. Feed is 81 to 81. so a
ton lower.
At Milwaukee the output may be
larger this week. Foreigners showed
more interest, but steadily lowered
their bids, and transactions were light,
Domestic trade was also poor.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 23.-At New
Richmond, O., rs miles up the Ohio
river from Cincinnati, mob took Noah
Anderson. colored, from the Jail and
hanged him for the murder of Frank
lin Fridmann, nearly so years old,
and president Of the First National
bank of that place. Mr.. Fridmann is
among the wealthiest men in Clear.

farms and lived at Clearmontville. He
was driving into New Richmond
shortly after noon, when he stopped at
n Of his houses. Hitching his horse
at the dooryard he went into an ad-
joining field, where he was suddenly
attacked by Noah Anderson, q negro,
who quickly bore the aged banker to
the ground and clutching his throat
with the power Of a demoniac, literally
Choked His Helpless Victim to Death.
Anderson then fed. The Frustrated
man was borne to the house but was
found to be dead. 1t was not long
until Anderson was captured and
taken to the New Richmond Jail,
where a great crowd was quickly gath
cred. Anderson g~loatingly told all the
details and said he had given the old
man what he deserved. 1t is said the
negro wa not in his right mind and
that one of his Authorizations was that
Friedman had deprived him of a large
sum of money. The truth is that the
two men had had no dealings together.

be a paperhanger.
