Safety of Railway Travel.

Last year on American railways one
passenger was killed in accidents out
of every 2,S21, IA passengers carried.
That is to say that you can take tram
2.S2I.474 times before, on the law Of
averages. your turn comes to be killed.
You will have to travel -. .093, 963 miles
on the ears before that turn comes, and
+. 541. 945 miles before you are injured.
If you travel 20 miles every day for
300 days in the year. you can keep on
at it for 75o years before your turn
comes to be hurt. II there had been
railways when OR Saviour was born
and you had begun to travel on the
first day of the year \. D. l. and had
travelled 100 miles in every day Of
every month of every year since then,
you would still have Gin this year 1899
nearly three million miles yet to travel
before Your turn came to be killed.

a Singular Accident.

One OF the most singular of railway
accidents was that near G enoa. by which
a dozen lives We're recently lost. The
Glori tunnel, in which it occurred, is
very long. and sofoul that the windows
are shut: leaving the passengers to keep
alive on what air is already in the car.
But the engineers have no such support,
and the accident was caused by the
fact that the drivers and iremen on the
three engines needed to haul the train
up the heavy grade Of the tunnel
were asphyxiated. The train conse
qucntly slipped back and plunged in
to q passenger train at the bottom Of
the incline.

a TERRIBLE BATTLE.
Nearly Eleven Thousand Killed and
Sixteen Thousand Wounded.

The British war Office has received a
dispatch from Geu. Sir Herbert kitch-
ener, the commander of the Anglo
Egyptian forces dated from Omdurman
on Monday last, saying that over 800
Arabs, mounted on camelS. were dis
patched after the fugitive khalifa Alb
dullah Wednesday morning. In the
battle that took place at Omdurman the
British army almost annihilated the
Decvishes, who have retreated into
the interior of Africa. The general
added that the Dervish leader was re-
ported to be moving with such speed
that some of his wives had been drop
ped along the road followed by him.
The Sirdar says also: Officers have
been counting the Dcrvish bodies on
the field and report the total number Of
dead found as about 10, 500 From the
numbers of wounded who have crawlcd
to the river and town. it is estimated
that 16, 600 were wounded. Beside the
above between 300 and 4G0 dcrvishes
were killed in Omdurman when the
town was taken. | have as prisoners
between three and four thousand fight
ing men" This grand victory Of the
British arms recalls to mind the kill
ing of Gen Chinese Gordan by these
same Dcryishers.

ONE DEAD THREE WOUNDED.
How the COLORADO Politicians Open
Their Convention.

4 pitched battle occurred at Colora
do Springs Wednesday morning be-
tween the two factions Of the Colorado
silver Republican party, in which one
man was killed and three we're wound
ed. The dead man is Chas. S. Harris
of Denver, an employe at Denver Of
the Gulf railway. The wounded were
removed by their friends and their
identity has not been definitely estab-
liShed. 1t is said that man named
Palmer was shot in the cheek, but not
seriously injured. Another man had
his hand shot nearly of, and another
received flesh wound in the arm. The
fight was waged for the possession Of
the opera house in which the silver
Republican State convention is to meet
Thursday. An armed guard, represent
ing the Teller-Blood wing was in pos
session. An armed force, representing
the faction deposed by National Chair
man Towne, was sent to drive the
guard out of the theatre. After hot
scrimmage in which many shots were
fired the Tellerites fed in dismay.
Harris and the men who were wounded
are supposed to have been members Of
the attacking fcrce. Chairman Blood,
a. NJ. Stevenson and other leading sill
Yer Republicans openly charge Sheriff
Boynton and Internal Revenue Collec-
tor Frank Howbert of DeAver with
leading the attack. Sheriff Boynton
states that he, Mr.. Howbert and Chief
Of Police Gathright did not so to the
opera house until the battle began, and
then only to take possession of the
place. Five men were arrested in the
opera house, and one, it is claimed by
the police, had a smoking Winchester
in his hands. The prisoners are: Wal
ter Russell, J. W. Lupton, j. J. Long,
A. C. Smith and A. F. Monge, all Of
Cripple Greek. They are charged with
the murder of Harris. Acguard of 20
men, under Boynton and Gathright,
hold the-opera house, and the Teller
people are refused admittance.

To Bankers and Merchants.

Mr.. J. C. Wilborn, president of the
State cotton growers, Thursda. issued
the following:
THE merchants and bankers Of
South Carolina are hereby cordially in
vited to attend the cotton growers con-
vention to be held-in Columbia, Sep
tember 20. 1t is hoped that every in
dividual interested in the production
Of cotton will feel himself invited to
participate in the move to advance the
price of cotton to point that will pay
the cost of production and give rea-
sonable compensation. There is no de-
sire to exclude the bankers and mer-
chants; on the contrary, we express the
desire that all South Carolina may act
in unison at this trying crisis in oar
affairs. j. G. Wilborn,
President of Cotton Growers of South
Carolina.

SHOT IN COLD BLOOD
Theodore Godfrey Attacked by q
Drunken Negro.

Theodore Godfrey. who belongs to
Capt. Anderson heavy artillery, was
shot on King Street, Charleston, last
Tuesday afternoon by a drunken negro
known as Cracker Henry. The as
sault was most cowardly and unpro-
voked, as the soldier was unarmcd and
the negro shot him merely because he
protested against the negros cursing
in the hearing of ladies. The bullet
took effect in the abdomen and God
frey is in very critical condition. The
negro eluded all his pursuers and es-
capped. 1t is fortunate for Cracker
Henry" that Charleston is not a lynch
ing town, or he might be in a short
time the principal figure at coroner 5
inquest. where the verdict explained
that the deceased came to his death
from exrosure-to a rope. Since the
above was written we learn that the
negro has been arrested and lodged in

PRIMARY FIGURES.
a Majority Of the People Want the
Dsipensary.

Governor Ellerbe get 80, 101 votes,
Watson 1919, Archer 1898 and Whit
man 367. Those four advocated the
dispensary in the campaign. The total
number of votes cast in the primary was
IS, ,493. of which the four dispensary
advocates received 40, 045, or something
more than half. Featherstone, the
prohibition candidate, received Il ,oS2
votes, so the dispensary is q, l63 votes
ahead of prohibition Schumpert and
Tillman preached high license. The
former got s, III votes and the latter
y, ,3S9. total Of 20, 500. The high Ii
cense candidates received 1854 votes
more than the prohibition aspirant,
but 1919 less than the dispensary
candidates. The opposition to the dis
pensary is divided between prohibition
and high license. Aggregate the votes
cast for the candidates of both those
ideas, and the vote for the dispensary
candidates is 1897 ballots greater. So
the dispensary's advocates outnumber
the prohibition and high license forces
combined and are far stronger than the
supporters of either one of those ideas.
The first primary has conclusively de-
monstrated that the dispensary has a
majority Of the Democrats behind 1t
and that prohibition has the weakest
following of any of the three ideas OF
dealing witt the liquor question. So
should Ecataerstone be elected in the
second primary, neither he nor anybody
else could twist this election into mean
ing a triumph of prohibition over the
dispeusary. The dispensary is on top,
fact proven by the figures quoted
above and still more conclusively dem
onstrated by the legislative election.

HOW a BURGLAR WAS CAUGHT.
Stolen Watch Gave Him Away. Live
II Chase in Laureas.

An exciting incident happened at
Laurens On the public square Wednes-
day afternoon. The cause of the excite
ment was the chase across the square
and through several alleys and streets
of negro man named Dick Paisley.
Paisley was finally captured about a
quarter of mile from the square, and
turned over to the proper authorities.
He now lies languishing behind the
bars charged with burglary. Some time
ago the residence of DR.. Frank Fuller,
at Mountville, in this county. was en-
tered by burglar and several articles
stolen, among them a highly priced
watch and $50 insilver and paper. The
burglary was so skillfully done that no
clue was obtainable by which to trace
the burglar. Dr.. Fuller had long since
given up all hope Of ever recovering
any of the stolen property or Of discover
ing the thief. But the ways Of the
wicked are hard, and generally crimes
sooner or later come to the light. Pas
ley had broken the watch and brought
it to the city to have it worked on.
He carried it to Mr.. Eisanka, jeweler.
Mr.. Fisanska had done some work on
the watch while DR.. Fuller had it in
his possession, and as soon as it was
presented to him he recognized 1t and
offered to purchase it. But the negro,
thinking something was up, broke and
run. saying he would be back in short
while to see it. Mr.. Visanska pursued
him. Others Joined in and the negro
was finally captured. The negro con-
fessed, and the watch was recovered.
He duplicates another negro, Dan Full
ler, who has been arrested. This negro
is pawnbroker and money lender near
Mountville. The case against Fuller,
however, is not very strong, as Paisley
is thought to be lying on him.--State.

A Horrible Death.

Mr.. Theo. Higgins, of Williamsburg
County, met with terrible accident
one day last week. 1t appears that
Mr.. Higgins had just started to gin
his first bale of cotton this season and
was feeding the gin himself when his
hand got caught and in trying to getloose
from the gin the other hand became
entangled. He was poHerless to help
himself Before the engine could be
stopped not only both hands but the
greater part of both arms were literally
cut to pieces. 1t was Eve miles to a
physicians house and before one could
be summoned the unfortunate man bled
to death. Mr.. Higgins was about 25
years old. He was married and leaves
a widow and three small children.
He was prosperous farmer, merchan-
dised on small scale and ran steam
gin and rrist mill.

SMART TAILOR COSTUME.

to moderate proportions-a change, l
should think, that is hailed with de-
light by the opposite sex, for at din
ner party mere man felt quite eclipsed
between the balloon sleeves of the ladies
on each side of him. The distinctive
novelty in the making of cloth gowns
at the present time is in, the cut of the
skirt The skirt is rather scant in ap-
pearance and innocent of any stiffening
at the bottom. Although Stimulating
fullness when it reaches the ground, the
skirt is guileless of gathers and fits very
closely about the hips. The newest
gowns have a small pad or hustle made
in them, and in some cases there are
also hip pads. Bodices made over the
new corset present low bust and
straight front, which may be stylish, but
is far from becoming.
Lace is used very much with fur, bnt
there is also a mode of mixing chiffon
to match the fur in color that has a
very pretty and soft effect. For exam
pie, gray chiffon is used with chinchil-
Ia, brown with sable black with as
trakhan.
The erect note which was discernible
on all the millinery of yester year has
departed. Hats, though still mainly
trimmed at the side, are very little
higher on the left than on the right,
and they are now worn straight on the
forehead, not slanted. OF course the abb
surd angles at which the multitudes
elected to wear their hats during the
summer has brought about this more
sober demeanor.
Embroidery in new and costly de-
signs is feature of the season s fash
ions. Padded flowers of silk are fea-
ture in the latest modes of embroidery.
They are made of glace silk, stuffed SO
that they are raised above the velvet or
cloth to which they are applied. Che
mile embroidery and chenille in every
possible way that it can be used are de-
cidedly in favor.
Hand embroidery in silk, silver and
gold thread is the chief elegance Of
trimming on the most expensive gowns.
Fancy waists of silk or satin to wear
with cloth skirts are as fashionable as
ever. For street wear tailor made gowns
grow in Importance as the season ad-
vances An exceedingly smart costume
in olive green faced cloth proved a
charming contrast to the usual braided
costume, with it's trimmings of black
satin rouleaux or pipings on blouse,

| ished this stylish gown.
