killed at Manila. She got s., 600 life
insurance and will get widows pen

SOUTH CAROLINA'S DEAD.
The Monument to Them at Winches.
ter, Va, to be Unveiled.

The following circular has been is
sued from the headquarters Of the
South Carolina Division United Con-
federate Veterans at Charleston:
June 9Th next it is proposed to uu-
veil the monument 10 South Carolina S
dead, who peacefully slumber at Win
chester Va. The noble citizens Of
Winchester extend cordial invitation
to the veterans Of South Carolina to be
present, and have offered the hospital
ity of their homes to such as can at
tend.
To extend this invitation, Col. John
J. Williams, commanding General Tur-
ner Ashby camp, No 240, United Con-
federate Veterans, came to Charleston
at our late reunion, out unfortunately
did not have an opportunity Of meeting
the South Carolina division as whole
but he literally extended this welcome
to all whom he met. The division
commander regrets that circumstances
were such that he could not present this
distinguished veteran to his comrades
from South Carolina. He urges all
camps, particularly those whose COM
rades lie buried at Winchester, and
whom those loving hands have thus
honored, and whose devotion to their
country is marked by this beautiful
shaft, to send delegates to the un-
yelling ceremonies. The hospitable
people of Winchester will welcome
them with open arms. Such delega-
tions as propose visiting Winchester on
this occasion, will please report
promptly to Col. John J. Williams, 50
that suitable quarters can be assigned
them.

1t has not been so many years ago
since the numbering old wood burn
err" poured great clouds Of smoke out
Of their awkward looking, conical shap.
ed smoke stacks, as the "cars" dragged
along over South Carolina's primitive
railway lines. The evolution of the
locomotive within the past decade has
been remarkable, but is merely an in
aication of the growth of railroads
and the railroad business in the State.
In this day of consolidation, of de-
velopment, Of construction, the public
is ready to forget that this new era has
not dawned in day. The year 1899
has indeed begun auspiciously, and the
promise is that several hundred miles
of new railroads will be built in the
next few months.
However this is not boom, spur
ious growth, but is founded upon slow
and substantial and steady develop.
ment during the past decade. And
can any section of the union have m ore
to be proud of than the south, when it
is considered how complete, how wide
spread the ruin Of the railroads in the
South during the war between the
States?
During the ten years closing with
1898, many miles of new roads had been
constructed in this State. This asser-
tion is verified by reference to the re-
ports of the railroad commission for
the years 1888 and 1898 respectively.
The statistics for the former year

glance that railroad systems had absorb
ed number of individual roads, but
the increase in the number Of miles in
use was 1919. The increase in the
length of side tracks was 1871 miles.
The increase noted establishes the
fact that all through the time of fnan
cial depression, South Carolina was
struggling to extend the railroad sys-
TENS, which are prime factors and in
the opening of valuable territory and
in the marketing Of splendid resources
otherwise inaccessible. But while new
lines were being built, the old were be-
ing improved and now no more resem-
BILE the primitive tracks of few years
ago than the city thoroughfare resem-
bles the coudtry highway.
The cumbersome hand brake, the
istemwinder," which occupied somuch
room on the platform and made travel
ing more wearisome, has been replaced
by automatic air brakes. The link and
pin couplings have given way to auto
matte arrangements. The coaches COM
pared with those few years back are
like the light running buggy beside the
omnibus.
The road beds have been constantly
graded; trestles have been made more
secure and in many places filed il with
dirt, clay and sand Of former days are
replaced by rock ballast, and the light
iron rails, which splintered and crum-
bled, have been taken up and heavy

A Terrible Accident.

Last Monday evening two small bows
found an unexploded four-pound
rocket near the courthouse and quar-
relied over its possession. Sumne,
beecher, to settle the quarrel, took the
rocket to the store of Withers 4
George and agreed to fire it off the fol.
lowing day. Shortly after this the BOYS
concluded to set the rocket off and
TOOK IT into the street. They set it up
In the street and Sumner proceeded IN
light the fuse, which was very short
The first attempt was failure but the
next was successful and almost in.
stantly there was sharp, binding
nash and report like blast of
dynamite and the poor boy was hurled
to the ground terribly mangled and
almost unconscious. Although there
we're many people on the street at the
time no one realized that an accident
had occurred until the poor little FEY
lows piteous cries brought them to a
realization of the fact. He was ten
derly carried to the store of Withers
Il George and surgeon sent for.
When his clothing was removed the
poor boy was found to be a mass of
cuts and bruises. The force of the ex-
plosion had driven small rocks through
his shoes, tearing his feet terribly.
while his legs were shot full of rocks
from the knees down. The perfor-
ations in his stockings looked like
bullet holes. The great and irreparable
injury was to the left eye, which was
destroyed and had to be removed. The
little fellow bore the operation with
rare fortitude. Probing for the scores
of small pieces of gravel i'm his legs
was trying ordeal, but not one MUIR
mur was heard from the sufferer. He
is now getting along nicely ard will
undoubtedly recover without suffering
permanent injury aside from the loss
of his left eye.
The accident cast a gloom over the
whole town, Sumner being a bright,
manly little fellow and universal
favorite with the people. Everybody
hopes for his speedy recovery.
