WHO'S TO BLAMEY
INQUIRY ON THE CAUSE OF A RAIL.
WAY DISASTER.
By Which Three Men We're Killed
South Carolina Commission
Reused to Action.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 21.-The
South Carolina Railroad Commits
sion has begun a rigid investiga,
ton into the cause of the recent
fearful wreck on the Florida
Central and Peninsular system.
They attended the coroner's in
quest at Swansea, near the scene
of the wreck, and had the assist
ant attorney general to conduct
the examination of the witnesses.
The testimony showed that
Conductor Taylor of the train
which overran the meeting point,
had read his order correctly and
did everything in his power to
stop the train. The engineer who
read Swansea" to be Sweden"
told his story. He said he heard
signal from the rear; that he
read his order all the way
through to be Sweden" and did
not read it as it was written,
Swansea" until after the crash.
The jury rendered a verdict
that the three men killed lost
their lives by a collision ON the
Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad and left the matter there
All the witnesses were served
with papers at once and brought
to Columbia on a special train.
The commission will commence
a rigid investiation. 1t is deter
mined to try to do something that
will prevent such casualties in
the future. Gross negligence on
the part of a railroad employe,
resulting in the loss of life is con-
sidered murder in this state and
the penalty is death.
Later-The State Railroad
Commission has completed the
investigation of the cause of the
recent railroad accident on the
F. G. and p. system.
Rendered decision that in the
opinion of the board the accident
was caused by the misleading of
orders by the engineer, FL. J.
Pitt, of train 5, The board de-
cided to 60 further and had Pitt
ARRESTED and all witnesses bound
over for attendance at the next
term of the court On the charge
of murder.

WIRE TIES
Haven't Worked Well in South
Carolina and Have Caused
Much Annoyance.

Charleston, S. c., Oct. 21.-
Cotton men throughout the south
are familiar with the war which
certain alliances have waged a.
gainst what they call the cite
trust" In South Carolina va
rious wire ties have been used
in place of the old band and
much trouble has been occasion
ed thereby between Manager d.
p. Duncan, of the Alliance Ex-
change, and the exporters of this
city. The wire used in many
cases was alleged by the export
ers to be far too heavy and stiff
to allow of it's being handled in
the congresses.
These complaints were sub
mitted to Mr.. Duncan, and after
a conference with the manager
of the Alliance Exchange, Mr.. F.
w. Schultheiss, a representative
of the firm that made the wire
ties for the exchange, came to
the city to investigate the mat
ter. He was met by leading ex-
porters and compress men and a
practical demonstration was had
of the difficulty of handling cot
ton bound with the wire ties in
the congresses. After witnessing
these experiments Mr.. SCHULTZ
heiss said that he would admit
that the complaints against the
ties were justified. He said that
the wire used was far too stiff.
He said, however, that he felt
certain that the defect could be
remedied and he would advise
the company to make a tie that
could be cut and handled in the
congresses without losing any
weight.

BILIOUS PILLIoUsNBss.
Why Some Bilious People Take Pills and
Others DONE.


Biliousness is much misunderstood.
So many people have 1t, that It's worth
| understanding, the more so az it Is easy
enough, IL you begin right.
Liver secrets a fluid called bile. Bile
goes to the intestines, where 1t performs
important work in digestion. Som etimes
bile passages in liver get clogged. This
Is biliousness.
"Pilllousness" is the idea that by taking
pill which stimulates the liver, we may
cure biIiousness. 1t is only an idea.
Pill-taking relieves but does not cure it.
The cure can only come through the
stomach.
Why?
Biliousness is caused by the poison OF
undigested food, irritating the liver. To
cure biliouSness, these poisons must be
got out of the stomach. The only sure
way to do this is with Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleasant,
tonic aid to digestion, prepared from
roots, herbs and wine by the Shakers of
Mount Lebanon. 1t helps the stomach to
digest its food, and sweeps out of the sys-
TEN all dangerous poiSons.
In this way it cures biliousneSs, head
ache, nausea, dizziness, bad taste, stom-
ZACH ache, fever, tlatulence, constipation,
ooss Of appetite, etc, when other remedies
My give temporary relief.

ARE SCARED
NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS
ROAST THE BLACKS.
The Negro is Arayed solidly Republican
And the Populists Will Not Fuse
With Democrats.

Raleigh, n. c., Oct. 21.-The
Democratic state committee has
issued an address to the voters of
the state which says the party
has made all possible efforts to
induce the Populists to fuse on
state, congressional and legisla-
tive tickets, but has met with re-
fusals; that its proposition for
congressional fusion in order to
elect a solid silver delegation
was made August 18th and in
sisted on since. The address de-
clares that it is apparent that the
Republican party is amassing an
enormous registration of illegal
voters made possible by the cleo
ton law, which plainly permits
fraud, and that the negroes have
drawn the color line and are TAX
ing advantage of the division of
the white vote on gold and silver
and have arranged themselves in
unbrOken Republican columns,
trusting to thus get a dominant
position; that the Republican Off
Gals boast that the illegal negro
will give the state to
Mckinley.
The address calls on all white
men to unite, and says that
though some division of white
voters is imminent, with the
great majority there should be
no doubt of their power to mar
shall for the Democratic party
votes to save the state
from Republican rule and ruin.
1t calls on all favoring silver and
white supremacy to support only
the ticket which offers the hope
of success against Mckinley and
Russell.

NOONAN FOR CONGRESS.
From the Daily Express.

From the Daily Express.
The people of the Twelfth con,
gressional district will compare
in intelligence, patriotism and
political consistency with the
people in any other district in
Texas. In 1894 the people in the
Twelfth dictrict decided to elect
George III. Noonan to congress
over his opponents, because
Judge Noonan represented the
best interests of the people of
the Twelfth district.
Judge Noonan ran on a
straightout Republican platform
in favor of protection; the people
knew him to be identified with
their interests; his high stand
ing as a citizen, as an humble
servant of the people inspired
confidence and he was elected
against the most powerful combi-
nation possible to be used against
him.
Has Judge NoOnan done any
thing in his brief career as con-
gresham to lessen the opinion
of the people? On the contrary,
has he not met the expectations
of his constituents; he has made
himself felt in the nation and the
Twelfth district has become
known from the mouth of the
Mississippi to the shores of
Maine.
Why do other sections of the
country figure prominently in
congress? Because they keep use
full and influential men in con-
gress term after term, who have
proved their ability and useful
ness.
Have conditions changed in
the Twelfth district? Not at all,
Today we want protection for
our wool and stock interests. To
secure this protection we must
| send a Republican to congress.
Who else can be of any use to us?
Slayden, the POpOcrat, a man
without a party, a man without
a platform, a man without a pres
ident, a man without a congress
at his back? What folly.
More than that Judge Noonan
is such a citizen that he rises a.
bove the chickering's of party
strife. He is of that sterling
material that men of opposite
political faith are willing to hon
or and trust him. Why? Be
cause they know he is honest,
fair and true to the people he
represents.
Our community, especially we
San Antonians, are extremely
charitable. We would rather
forgive than punish any one.
We have had so few failures in
our business community that we
have been willing to help the I'M
fOrtunates out, but for the sake
of all that is good and decent,
don't call upon our people to turn
down Judge Noonan and substi-
tute Mr.. Slayden, who is fresh
from bankrupt concern. Moo
nan is not a rich man. Far from
it; but he has at least never
been put in the list of bankrupt
concerns. We have some COM
mercial pride. We want to be
well and truly represented in the
congress of the United States.
Let every man who voted for
Judge Noonan last time do so
again, and see that his neighbor
does likewise.
