Accident to Rev. j. C. Abney.


Rev. J. c. Abney was one of the
party who started from here yes
terday at noon to attend Governor
Ellerbe's funeral at Sellers, but on
account of a bad accident he was
prevented from going. While the
special was flying past Congaree
station at the rate of 40 miles an
hour Mr.. Abney, who was sitting
next to all open window on the
right side of the car, was stuck on
the arm by some object which
fractured the radiue, the exterior
bone of the forearm. The acci-
dent was rather mysterious. Mr..
Abney was resting his right arm
on the window sill when something
struck it with such force as to
break the bone. 1t is thought that
stick of wood fell from the tender,
struck a box car on a side-track
and rebounding, hiti Mr.. Abney.
The marks of the lick were plaioly
visible on the window sill, and it
Was evident that the blow must
have been accompanied by consid-
cradle force, SO that one supposi-
tion is that the object was thrown
at the train, but this seems i'm
probable.-The State. June 8.

Mr.. Harry Hill, who has given the
matter some consideration, is opposed
to the adoption of the round bale by
Southern glnners. He thinks that, in
asmuch as the round bale people refuse
to sell their machinery, but only lease
it temporarily, that in few years they
will have monopoly, the square bale
machinery being out of the way, and
will grind the cotton grower more
than he is ground at present.
A sensible husband said to his wife
the other day, "Jane, don't spend a
cent with merchants who don't adver-
tise." The wife who is business wo-
man, replied: "You old goose. learn
ed better long ago than to go where l
was not invited. You would be an old
bachelor now il you had not invited
me to be your wife. Catch me going
to a store without an invitation. l

For three days last week the ther-
mometer is said to have reached the
unprecedented figure of 102 in our

have seen the regirter so high. In the

Saturday slast in Greenwood 1O5, but
the delightful rains of Sunday p. m.
