TIE Thursday Evening Club held its regu-
lar meeting last week q. the residence of
Mr.. f. C. Noses The attendance wac uous-
ualIy large, but few of the members being
absent, and ihe meeting was great success.
The author studied was Jerome 4. Jerome; a
talk on his life was given and two very ic-
teresting short selections from his works were
read.
These club meetings are instructive as well
as pleasant. Only the modern authors are
discussed, about whom but little, as yet, is
generally known, and after the short literary
programme, which is interspersed with
music. comes the social feature. The musical
programme last evening was especially good,
consisting of several piano solos and quar-
tette.
The club was then favored by several very
artistic recitations from Miss Laura Ruff, a
student of tie Emerson School of Oratory,
of Boston.
The author to be discussed a next
meeting is Taos. Nelson Page.

Explanation From Or. Archie
China.

Dr.. Archie China who was nentionened 10
the account OF the sudden death Of Miss
Hammond as the attending physician, has
requested that brief statement of the facts
respecting bis connection with the CAGE be
made, inesmuch as it appears that some in-
justice was done him in the report
On the evening of the day prio: to Miss
Han mond's death Dr.. China was pairing a
visit TO one of his patients in the ueighbor-
hood of the house where she was living spd
while there little negro girl came in and
asked him to go to see Miss Hamm ond, who,
she said, was sick in the Schwartz Hou:e.
next to Mr. Pate's He went there and
found her sitting mp, but she had pro-
nounced case of nalariel fever. He told her
that she was too sick to be out Of bed and
should not stay 10 the house alone while so
sick After prescribing for her, he left with
the understanding that she would send for
him the next day if she was no better. The
next afternoon he was Informed by Mr. Lead.
enham, a relative of the deceased, that be
thought Mas Hammond was dead, aud asked
him to go to see about her at once. DR..
China went at once and found Miss Ham.
moud dead and from all appearances bad
been dead for several hours. That was the

for the deceased nor his family bad no claim
whatsoever upon the Lodge, aud the action OF
the Lodge was the result of sympathy and
the desire to alleviate the distress of the un-
fortunate woman and child who were so
suddenly deprived of their only protector
Any pereon who may desire to assist 10 the
work of charity may leave their contribution
with Mr. Barlow Walsh.

The latest aud most proper caper in the
way of social dissipation in the afternoons is
to take a swim in the swimming pool at the

of the following note which was found on
the street: "My dearest NJ A big

Zoo; tomorrow afternoon, and want yon

or will call for you 10 buggy, just as you

All be is cooce, ned is to get to the pool

That swimming pool is great institution

furnished not little amusement to some peo-
pie. The writer takes the above note as his

The n. l. A. passenger train, dae here
at e35 Tuesday afternoon, the
l0.b, made record breaking
run from Depmark to this city.
The train left Denmark thirty minutes la,e,
and Eogireer Neely who was handling the
throttle, made an effort to bring the train 10
as nearly on time as possible. The run from the
Denmark depot to the Sumter depot, distance
of 81 miles, was MADE in SO minutes. Twelve
stops were made, causing loss of 36 min
utes, which must be deducted from the run-
ming time. The average speed maintained
by the train during the time It was running
was fraction better than 81 miles per hour.
Speaking of fast time leads to a mertion of
the run made By the excursion train from
Charleston to Columbia las. Wednesday. The
train was scheduled to make the run at the
rate of mile minute, no allowance being
made for stops. The trip to this city was
made on schedule time and the train ran
through to Columbia without the loss of 8
minute, arriving two minutes ahead Of the
S. C. 4 Ga, Notwithstanding the distaoce
between Charleston and Columbia is seven
miles further by the Atlantic Coast Lice than
by the South Carolina 4 Georgia. The ac-
tual speed maintained by the excursion be-
tween stations was about IS niles an
hour, which is rot at all bad fos q heavy

How to Prevent Lynchings.

An euterp5isiog New York daily re-
Gently solicited and published opinions
Of several Governors Of Southern States
on causes Of mob violence aod their
views Of the best remedy for the prac-
tice. With one voice they deprecate
the occurrence Of lynchings, believing
that punishment should be meted out
through legal channels; at the same
time. there is equal uuanimity Of opln-
ion that there is ao ineradicable deter
miuation to protect the helpless against
the assaults Of villains. 1t is claimed
that any osher people would be pro-
voked to like violence under similar
conditions Under existing conditions
Of society it is not believed that the
causes will soon disappear, though it
was thought some years ago that lmme
diase capital punishment would prove a
deterrent so powerful that the one crime
which incites almost every lyncbirg
would be rarely sconmitted Assured

ofeuces against morality 10 spite Of any

Killed by a Tramp.

News was received in this city
Yesterday of the shocking death of
Mr.. NJ. T. Blackwell, of the Atlantic
Coast Line. It seems that on Satur-
day night Mr.. Blackwell went out on
his usual run as fagmau on the night
train, which has it's northern ter.
minus at Rocky Mount, n. c. About
twenty miles from the end ofthe trip,
at about | o'clock Sunday morning,
he was obliged to eject from the
train tramp that was stealing ride
The full particulars were not given as
TO whether there was any apparent
trouble, but it is known that as he
was performing this disagreeable
duty the tramp drew pistol and
fred. The ball took effect ir the
abdomen and Mr.. Blackwell died in a
short time afterwards. While he
had boarded in Charleston for some
time, this was not Mr.. BlackwelFs
home aud his remains were not
brought to the city.
He was young man of excellent
character and was extremely popular
with his associates. The news OF his
death was shock and surprise to
all Of his friends.
Additional information regarding
the tragedy, which was received late
last night, would indicate that the
shooting was most -blooded af
fair. 1t happened about 120 miles
beyond Florence. The engineer Of
the train saw two white men On top
of his train and stopped it. The con-
ductor ordered them to get off. and
of them did so. The other walked
back toward the rear car. He saw
Mr.. Blackwell and before word pass
ed between them the tramp drew a
pistol and fired. He then left the
train and escaped Parties are now
looking for him in the adjoining
country.-News' and Courier, Aug.
