Rieke espied a negro running along
the railroad track near the screen fac
tory, carrying something white under
his arm. He spoke to the negro, who
dropped his bundle and ran. 1t proved
to be a pillow-a good one. Owner
can have same by calling on Mr.. Rieke.
The negro's identity was not learned.
The Republican nominee for State
Auditor, we believe his name is i
baum, made a speech at Graniteville
Friday evening. If he dwelt on pros
perity as most Republican orators do,
it would be interesting to know just
how he characterized the kind hat
Graniteville has enjoyed during these
four years of Mckinley abundance and
good times.
VIM. Woolem announces himself a
candidate for Constable OF Arcadia
Township. He is a resident of long
standing and we'll known to the peo-
pie whose SURFACES he asks. If elected
he will devote his time and his best
ability to the discharge of his duty,
without fear, favor or affection. The
REGISTER commends him to the con-
sideration of the voters.
For three years of McHanua's ad-
m~inistration, the Pilot Knob iron mines
were as a sealed book. Not a hole
was drilled. not a pick handled or a
shovel used. The dwellings-such as
had not been carted off to Illinois
were deserted and the doors and win
dows nailed up. But last spring some
body thought that, as iron prices were
up, it would do TO venture a little, and
a dozen or so men were set to work
sinking a shaft, some .'expert" having
promised a good lead at the depth of
$50 feet. They wen down 275 feet,
but the iron vein did not appear. and
work was abandoned. The assertion
that the s.mines have closed down for
fear of Bryan's election" is too idiotic
for serious consideration, and the
REGISTER refuses to believe that any
one in authority ever authorized such
a statement.
Asa Marks, the fifteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. D. Marks of this
city, was thrown from a horse Tuesday
morning and received injuries from
which he died in less than IN hour.
Asa, in company with a couple OF COM
panions, VINO were also on horseback,
was riding his horse to the creek to
water him. They were on the road
that goes past Clark's hub factory to
the Begiey farm, east of town. When
they reached the top OF the hill where
Sol. Lax, colored, lives, Asa saw, at
the foot of the hill. a COW standing in
the road. Boy like, he said watch
me Jump that COW" and down the hill
he started. Going at a rapid gait the
horse struck the COW, Asa was thrown
over the horses head and the horse
fell on top of him crushing him to the
ground where he lay unconscious. A
surgeon was summoned and the un-
fortunate boy was taken home. An
investigation revealed that his skull
was badly crushed and tits thought his
neck was broken. He breathed slightly
for probably half an hour but never
regained consciousness. The sad al
fair cast a gloom over the community
and the bereaved family have universal
sympathy IN their sorrow. The funeral
occurred Wednesday afternoon from the
NJ. E. Church, and a large ~concourse
followed the remains to the Masonic
Cemetery.
A few days ago several t~rontonians
made a trip in Collins wagonette to
M~iddlebrook. They went to pay a
friendly visit to Trauernicht, and we
found him at home with all that the
term implies, After a few minutes
greeting we adjourned to his curio
shop and went into executive session.
| The formal business of the meeting
the viewing of the snakes, turtles,
toads. Lizards, minerals, antiquated
military arms, aboriginal pottery, re-
mains of Inhabitants of the tropical
seas. relics from the frozen north. an
tiaue and modern vases of cuFiou:
workmanship, ETC., etc.-having been
satisfactorily transacted, the executive
session resolved itself into a smoker.
A smoker is a rather nice-function,
We believe is tbs Borl-when the com
pany is en- rapport, the cigars are true
Havana, and the other accessories OF
