SEABOARD'S EXTENSION.
Survey From Cheraw to Camden Now
Completed.
columbia State.)


Col. Y. e. McBee. general supeinten-
dent of the Seaboard Air Line system.
arrived in Columbia yesterday morning
as expected and will remain here through
to-day. He gave some Informal
ton. as to the progress of the
work that has been going on for some
time in the extension from Cheraw to
the connection with the Florida CrEirai
and Peninsular division of the system.
He says that he has been in the woods
in person supervising the location OF
the road and engineering the survey.
The survey has been completed en-
tirely from Cheraw to Camden and the
protiles have been prepared ready for
the inspection of the contractors. The
line hes also been run to the Watel GO
river. Nothing has yet been done on
this side of the Watcree. Workm-n
are now clearing the right of way
from Cheraw to Camden. Beyond this
Col. McBee would say nothing save
that he was here at present in the in
terest of his system and that the con
nection Of the two divisions of the
Seaboard Air Line would be made as
soon as it could be done, the chief OBJ
ject of the management being to save
every foot possible on the distance
through from the north to Tampa.
1t is also understood that preparations
are already being made for the award
ing of the contract for the cons-rlic
ton between Cheraw and Camden. It
appears that bids will be advertised
for an the contract awarded in very
short order.
There seems to be considerable I'M
certainty as to what course the Sea-
board will take from Camden this
way. The line from Cheraw to Cam
den is Il fraction over 80 miles. Two
lines are talked of from Camden to the
junction with the Florida Central and
Peninsular. The one is to run 10
Swansea: the other to Columbia, it
being claimed that the latter will ne
about six miles longer than the first.
The question of getting in and ont Of
Columbia is understood to present what
the authorities of the road consider
many difficulties more weighty than the
difference in the distance. These difficult
ties are now being given the most
painstaking attention and from all that
can be ascertained no final determination
of the matter has yet been reached.

DEATH WAS SUDDEN
William Avery Became a Corpse in
Fifteen Minutes.

William L. Avery died suddenly al
McCarty's corral at Five Points
yesterday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock. The dead man came to this
territory from Salt Lake City. stop
ping short time at Flagstaff and az.
irving here four months ago. He had
been sick of Ia grippe. This was fol
lowed by bronchitis and Avery came
here for relief. BUT his lungs were
but slightly affected, He was a
healthy looking man. His death was
undoubtedly due TO heart trouble He
had been sitting ON his cot where he
slept OUT of doors in che corral, fifteen
minutes before he died. and at the
time he remarked that he felt much
berter than he had been feeling dur
ing the last few days He expressed a.
belief that he would soon recover
from his aiIInent. He was rFnusual1G
cheerful and spoke of the relish With
which he had eaten watermelon Il
half hour before. The man he spoke
70 left him and on his return in fifteen
minutes found him dead. The coroner
Was notified and an inquest was begun
at the corral. but continued until 8
O'Clock this morning. The remains
We're removed to the parlors of Davis
II Company.
The dead man was native of On
tario. Canada and IS years old. Years
ago he fought Indians in this country
and was scout in the Seventh cav
airy, Clusters command, az the time of
the massacre. though he was not
present at the disaster of Little Big
Horn. 1t is thought that he has
friends and relatives at Ogden, Utah.
The fact that he had eaten water
melon so soon before his death is of /
interest from the circumstance that |
Il dozen men have died suddenly in |
this valley within the last five or six |
years within Il few minutes after par
taking of watermelon. Death was
not traced to that vegetable in any
case. Eflt usillly directly TO some dis
ease In a couple of instances ,Jhe
lead men were found with pieces of
the watermelon yet in their mouths.
It may be stated, but not in con
1ection with these incidents. that at
certain stage. the incipient one, of
decomposition. the watermelon con
aims ptomaines and deaths with
of prussic acid poisoning
lave been numerously reported from
he eating of melons. The ptomaines
lispappear with rhe progress of de
ay so that an absolutely rotten melon
nay be eaten with impunity. so far as
hanger in ptonFline poisoning is com
.erncd These cases have generally
.een reported from northern cities to
which the melons illve been shipped
ong distances. having been picked
Iufte green and allowed to ripen en-

: WHAT PEOPLE SAY :

b. N. Pratt: 1t is Interesting to
watch the movements of many people
in the summer From here they go to
the coast and elsewhere to escape the
heat. This may not be the sole rea-
son of their going. In San Francisco
they leave the City, many OF them,
every summer They don's go to es-
cape the heat, because there is no heat
there. They move out into country
places and into neighboring valleys to
get warmed up.
o. w Peters: I don't think it will
be long until the shifting population
of Phoenix in summer time will be
we'll represented at Iron springs. The
Phoenix people congregate there
thicker every year, and there is no
doubling that 1T is a splendid place.
believe a summer resort will be es-
tablished there before many years.
T. W. Chamberlain: The cost of
building material for houses is not
fixed nowadays. The jumps in the
iron markets cause the prices of iron
used in building to be uncertain. A
contractor is not sure Of his position
when he bids. But one article is
staple. That is brick, and 1 declare
that l think bnck to be cheaper here
than any place in the country.

meeting of the directors of tht

under which he is to be appointed
The request will be accompanied by
an indemnity bond covering the
ampunt of the salary of the commits
siouer and any sums that may be
turned over to him by the board under
the law.
The board of trade will further pro
pose to institute suit to determine
the validity of the law. The fairness
of the proposition and the absolute
guaranty Of the county against loss

supervisors. This step will be taken
on the Theory that while District

is official, a final determination re

had only in the courts
If the law should be regularly pro-
bounced invalid the office of commits
sioner could easily be abolished.
THE board is prompted to this course
in payt by ,ylhe manner in which Mr.
Flannigan's opinion was reached.
Speaking of the matter last night
President J. C. Adams of the board of
Trade, said that Mr.. Flanagan had had
two opinions, the first of which was
favorable to the law, and at the las
moment presented The adverse one
Said Mr. Adams: After that 1 ar
ranged a conference yesterday be-
twaenu him and Attorney General Aims

conference the attorney general and
Judge Kibbey requested him to furnish
the list of authorities upon which he
had based his opinion. He said he
could not remember from What states
these authorities had been taken but
the mem1randa of titles of cases We're
at his office and he would get them. |
He went away and returned in Il
couple of hours, saying that he had
been unable to find the list and de /
clined to furnish any information !
whatever regarding The cases from |
which he had reached his conclusion |
that the law was invalid.
Speaking of the. work of the board of |
trade aside from the possible action |
Of the board of supervisors. Mr.. Adams
said: "'Fhere is no question that the
amounts subscribed TO the supple |
mental fund will be duplicated for the
purpose of building up the board of
trade or a business mems association
and probably much. larger sum will
be subscribed. \ great deal of time
and money has already been expended
