Two big II wheeled freight locomo-

passed through the territory to Los
Angeles, where they will be set up for
operation on the mountain divisions of
the S. P. in southern California. They
are compounds, weighing 95 tons ex-

children and young looking woman,

professional or domestic career. 1t wa:

Record Breakers.

1t seems to be the desire of the rail-
roads throughout this country at pres
emit TO see which can make the best
time with a fast train. Reports from
all directions came in concerning the
remarkably fast time made
by this road or that
road. Long trains of human freight
are seen dying in all directions out of
the principal cities of the United
States, each trying to travel faster
than the oGners. It is very interesting
indeed to read OF a flyer making a
record of eighty miles an
hour but IL that same train
were to jump the track while
making this time, that would be the
result-mangled humanity and groans
of agony. The news Of the wreck
would be heralded to all points of the
compass aud the world, generally,
would condemn the railroad company.
The common expression among the Of
ficials regarding the danger of
the fast trains, is that every
thing IS in first class shape and
that no accident can possibly
happen. This sounds very we'll,
and IL true would sound much better.
But it is rot. AS long as an engine
turns wheel just that long will there
be danger of her leaving the track
when in motion, and the faster the
motion at the time of an accident the
more disastrous are the re-
suits. Another question ma
turally arises in speaking Of
limited trains. They find travel suf-
ficient to sustain them, and there must
be great many people in favor of fast
running Very true. 1t is the natur-
al anxiety of the human race to get
through life as quickly as possibly
regardless of possible results. This
is shown every day at
our railway crossings. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that hundreds
yes, thousands of people are killed
yearly on the railroad crossings of the
United States, we see daily people
attempting to cross the tracks in front
of an approaching train. Possibly
after having crossed the track in this
manner, and risked their lives in so
doing, they will ramain on
the other side of the track
to see the train pass. This
is human nature, no more no less, and
1t is altogether possible that the fast
est train in the United States will car
ry the greatest number of travellers, as
already stated, regardless of possible
results.

Stole Bale of Cotton.
Doc Choat and Dick Tate, two Ne.

Thursday by Magistrate Anderson, OF
Ebenzer township, on the charge OF
having stolen a bale of cotton. The
warrant was sworn out by James An

They Were Disappointed.
Quite a number of white men and a
large number of Negroes, came up
from Bullock's Creek township yester-
day on account of the expected execu-

had not heard of the reprieve, and
some of the white men were not alto

METHODIST CONFERENCE,

The South Carolina conference,
Bishop Duncan presiding, meets at
Greenwood on next Wednesday.
One of the principal developments
of conference, so far as the general
public is concerned, will be the assign
ment of ministers for the ensuing
year, and in this the Methodist people
especially are greatly interested.
Just what changes will be made, of
course, is unknown. Nobody knows
this but the bishop, and probably he
has not yet fully decided upon all the
assignments it will become necessary
for him to make.
According to the conference laws on
the subject, no minister can remain
with the same charge continuously
longer than four years, and from the
best information at hand, the only
change that will be necessary in this
county on account of this rule, will
be in the case of Rev. ]. H. Thacker,
Of Hickory Grove.
The conference appointments will be
read out the Monday night after the
meeting of conference. 1t is our de-
sire to publish them in the issue of
THE ENQUIRER for the following
Wednesday. There are in the way
some difficulties that may prove in
surmounlable; but We will do the
very best we can.

y We are not inclined to look very
seriously upon the indictment of citi-
zens of Mccormick for participation
in the Tolbert riot. The indictment is
based principally upon alleged inter-
ference of the alleged rioters with
Tolbert, an alleged assistant postmas-
ter in the discharge of his alleged
duties. Also something is said about
interference with citizens in the enjoy
ment of certain rights guaranteed to
them under the constitution of the
United States. The whole thing is
rather farfetched, and it will develop
into a farce, as we think it should.
The United States government has no
good excuse for interfering with this
matter in anyway whatever, and we
have no idea that single one of the
accused men can be convicted or pun
ished. If the state government, how
ever, which has full authority to act,
would make a vigorous investigation
of the affair, there might be some prac-
tical and beneficial results.

is directed to pay all cotton tickets,
o. KID. by the buyer, that the tickets
cashed under these circumstances are
exempt from taxation as orders for the
payment of money. In order to come
within this ruling, the buyer must &C.
tually place the money with the third
person, who cashes the ticket, and the
ticket must be then actually cashed out
of the buyers own money and no
other. This would not include the
payment of tickets by bank out of
the funds of its depositors, nor pay
ment of tickets in the hands of persons
to whom they have been transferred
by the cotton seller" Senator Jones
took the position that as cotton tickets
are mere directions, on the part of
purchasers, to their cashiers, to pay out
their own money, they were not SUBJ
ject to the requirements of the stamp
tax. He also held them to be exempt
because of the levying of tax on the
cotton itself, which is exempt as a farm
product. The senator regards the ru-
ling as of very general Importance
throughout the cotton-growing section.

Major Pagan.

Major Pagan.
Chester Reporter Major James
Pagan, so well-known to all of the
older people of this county and to
many of middle life, died at the home
of his son, Mr.. Irwin F. Pagan, at
Shelton, last Sunday, November 81, in
the Goth year of his age. Major Pagan
was born near Fishing Greek, in April,
1909. His early life was spent there,
until he came to Chester and engaged
in merchandising. He served the
county efficiently as sheriff from 1S45
TO 1S49. From then until the war of
secession, in 1861, he was in mercantile
life here. He entered service with
Calhoun Guards, Sixth regiment, and
shortly afterwards became brigade
commissary, serving with efficiency
and acceptance until the close of the
war. From 1866 to 1868 he conducted
a very large mercantile business in
Chester. He afterwards moved to
Fairfield county and engaged in farm
ing for a number of years. For the
last several years of his life his home
has been with his daughter, Mrs. Jas.
@. Davis, in Winnsboro. Two of his
daughters, Mrs. w. L. Davidson and
Mrs. J. NJ. Brawley, preceded him to
the grave. Major Pagan made many
friends in this and other counties by
his genial disposition and courteous
manners. The strength of his mental
faculties was remarkably preserved to
the very close of life. For several
years just preceding his death be was
almost totally blind.
