out by the way of the cafe door. Some
two dozen men who were scattered
about the lobby crowded around Mr.
KAISER and wanted to testify to their
appreciation by buying him drinks and
cigars, and the head clerk came around
to thank him for Kidding the hotel of

When a Sun reporter saw Mr.. KAISER

chin and said he shouldn't think little
thing like that would be of any intereA

The character of parties depends
upon the opposition. The failure of
the democrats is a weakness to the ma

to practice extravaganza, embark upon
wild and fantastic ventures, open the
treasury to subsidy grabbers, and to
pursue any dangerous course, wholly
in disregard to the wisdom and con-

weakness means republican abuse

ALL WEMF DOWN
U1FH0UF WARRInG

Atlanta, June 24.-The train
left Macon at 7 10 and was due in
Atlanta at 9:45 last night. Nc
Donough WAS reached on time. At
this point connection is made for
Columbus, and here every night
the Columbus train is coupled Oh
and hauled through to Atlanta.
Last night, however, for the first
time in many months, the Colum-
bus tram was reported two hours
late on account ola washout on
that branch and the Macon train
started on to Atlanta without it's
Columbus connection.
Tremendous rains c. daily oc-
currence for the past two weeks
have swollen all streams in this
part of the south and several wash
outs have been reported on the
different roads. Camps creek,
which runs into the Ocmulgee, was
over it's banks and its waters had
spread to all the lowlands through
which it runs. Ab,ut mile and
half north of McDonough, the
creek is somewhat near the South
ern's tracks and, running along
side it for some distance, finally
passes away under the road by
heavy stone culvert. A cloud
burst broke over that section of
the country about 6 o'clock last
night and presumably, shortly
after dark. washed out a section of
the track, nearly 100 feet in length.
Into this the swiftly moving train
plunged.
There was not note of warn
ing. The storm was still raging
and all the car windows were
closed. The passengers, eecure Rs
they thought, and sheltered cum
fortably from the inclement wealth
er, went 10 death without an in
start's warning. The train, con-
sisting of a baggage car, second
class coach, first class coach and q
Pullman sleeper, was knocked into
kindling wood by the fall. The
wreck caught fire few minutes
after the fall and all the coaches
were burned Except the Pullman
car.
Every person on the train except
the occupants of the Pullman car
perished in the disaster. Forty
two IN all.

Mr.. Winkler said it was always
well to have a jester to throw fun
|intesthe campaign. Tillman tells
these jokes for fun, for he is just
running for fun. He is taking
his fathers advice and keeping
out of politics. Winkler said he
was not running upon the demerits
of his competitors. He had not
said an kind word of them.
He was running on his record.
He denied that he had anywhere
advocated a high license system.
He then made a dispensary speech,
saying that he was willing to let
any county vote whether it would
have dlspensary or prohibition.
The interest we are taking In the
common schools is the best sign OF
South Carolina's prosperity and
progress. He asserted that he had
always favored letting the profits
go to the respective counties, and
prohibition counties get none, He
had introduced bill, and it il
now a law, and each county getl
its pro rata share.
