"Theys are tens Of thousands of
people in England" says the
Spectator, "who are intensely in

Peter was ever in Rome, or whether
st. Paul was really married or
whether Onesimus was really

no connection with the true content
of religion, but which fringe the
borders of the field Of religious

telling his congregation how God

Through The Trestle.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 9.-The
engine and several cars of a train
loaded with granite went through
the trestle of the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens road over Broad
river, near this city this afternoon.
Engineer Weathersby, Fireman
Rennick and two other men are
known to have been killed. There
may be others buried under the
wreck. A car is supposed to have
jumped the track and the jar
caused the structure to give way.
There is no other way of accoun.
ting for the accident, as the trestle
has just b,en overhauled by the
bridge builders of the Atlantic
Coast Line, and was yesterday
turned over to President Childs
with the report that it was in per-
feet condition, an inspection
showing the timbers to be new.
Chief Engineer Ellis of the road,
said tonight that no trestling could
stand the shaking this was SUBJ
jec:ed to, and the fault lay with no
one.
The cars fell over forty feet.
Two of the men killed were young
negroes who were stealing a ride
across the river.
While the trestle is being rebuilt,
the Columbia, Newberry and
Laurens road will use the tracks of
the Southern from Newberry to
Columbia.
The engineer and fierman were
carried down in their engine. The
fall was so sudden that neither
moved from his post they met
instant death.

my other industry in South Car o

any other industry in South Car
lima.
South Carolina is doing less to
improve on that branch than any
thing I know of in our State. Not
because she has no pasture, not
because she has no bees, but be-
cause she does notg at it in ear
nest. I speak as one who has had
some experience, perhaps more
than any other one man in the
State. l have seen in the Augusta
Herald two pieces on bees. In
one piece he suggests plans for put
ting on honey boxes, they were
very good but he signs no name
I hope he will come again I would
be glad to exchange opinions as to
how to manage bees.
AS to putting on boxes all is
guess work, just as the poor far
mer is use to, he sees the moon
just right to plant a certain field OF
corn, away he goes and plants his
corn, long comes one of Gods plans
to show him that he is God and
beside him there is none else, and
where is his field of corn. So it is
in bee culture, thero is no exact
planIto fall upon, but to SOW in
the morning and withhold not thy
hand in the evening.
If this does not 60 to the waste

When we said last week that it
was about settled that Talbert
Tillman and Youmans would be
candidates for the United States
Senate, we spoke without the
slightest intimation from either of
the parties named but only gave
the current rumors. The people
have about settled the matter
among themselves that they want
and must have a triangular race,
three contestants in 1900 for the
Senate, as was the case when Nc
Laurin was elected and when Earle
was elected. There are a good
many people in South Carolina
who are tined of Reformer and
Conservative and want to vote for
a good sound democrat without
regard to past affiliations, while
there are others who will stick
to the old rack, fodder or no fodder.
= Since writing the above we see
the name of Duncan mentioned
for The U. S. Senate andalso an
other galoot, whose name has es-
capped US. So it may be that the
people want this time a quin-
quangular race instead of a TRAN
gle. What we started out to say
and to emphasize was that, 80 far
as we know no one has authority
to announce for Edgefeld county
that Talbert is or is not candi-
date for the United States Senate,
or that Youmans is-that Tillman
is, goes without saying.

Cotton Seed for Pigs.

Speaking Of fattening pigs the
other day, Yorkville gentleman
remarked that the cheapest feed
be ever had anything to do with
was cotton seed. The cotton seed
should be cooked, of course. He
went on to say that one year, when
other kinds of feed was scarce, he
put four small pigs IN a pen and
fed them nothing but cooked cotton
seed. He had them up about eight
months altogether, and when he
slaughtered them they netted from
200 to 225 pounds each. To feed
raw cotton seed to pigs is generally
undertood to be. dangerous
