Terrible Accident.
Florence, May

Florence, May s. A
terrible accident occurred here
this morning, in which Hampton
Timmous, 15 year old lad, had
his head smashed open and his
brains scattered over the ground
and died a few moments later.
Young .Timmons was employed
by Mr.. II. Q. Willoughby as a
driver. This morning while driv
ing near Capt. Ii. M. Brunson's
residence the horse became fright
ened and made a dash, turning
around and going back to the
Willoughby lot at rapid gait.
The young man did all he could
to check the speed of the animal,
but to no avail. AS the horse
wheeled from Palmetto street
into Railroad avenue the cart
tilted to one side and turned bot
tom up, throwing young 1'immons
out head foremost. Young Tim.
mons head struck violently
against the corner of the cur.
stone stake, which .jahhed a great
hole in his head. The brains of
the young fellow were scattered
over the ground and a great
quantity of blood flowed from the
wound. Assistance came quickly
and Drs. Covington, Mcleod and
Gregg were hurriedly sent for by
Mr.. WilIoughhy, who in the
meantime quietly provided
stretcher and placed him gently
upon it. By lhc Tine DR.. Coving-
ton arrived, which was only a
few moments, life was extinct

The enemy are in full retreat.
They occupied a position 20
miles in length. Ours was
necessarily longer. With the
widely scattered force it will
take some time 20 learn the
casualties, but [ am hopeful we
have not suffered much. The
cavalry and horse artillery are

No Home Rule for IreI and.

London, May 10.-At the an
nual meeting of the Primrose
League today Lord Salisbury de-
clared there was no hope for
home rule for Ireland, He said:
1--WE have learned something
from the South African war, how
a disloyal Government, in spite
of warnings, could accumulate
aTInaments against the most pow
ertul combatant, and thus secure
a terrible advantage. We now
know better than we did ten
years ago what risk it would be
If we gave a disloyel Government
in Ireland the power Of accumu,
lating forces against this coun.
try"
"Hereafter external affairs will
occupy considerably larger
place among the problems we
have to solve. If we look around
we can see the elements and
causes of menance and peril
slowly accumulating and they
may accumulate to such a point
as to require our earnest and
most active efforts to repel them.
A certain section of foreigners has
at the present moment a great
prejudice against this country.
There can be no security nor con.
ddence in the feelings or sympa-
thy of other nations except
through the efficiency of our own
defence and the strength of our
right arm. Everywhere the power
OF defence is increasing and who
knows but all these things may
be united in one great wave to
dash upon our shores"
''ln every case in history the
greet maritime power has been
paralyzed--killed-by a blow di-
rected at the heart. The British
navy, of course, ought to be sufli-
cient. But are we wise in placing
all our eggs in one basket?
GAS to land defence we must
induce the people to voluntarily
put themselves in position to
defend their homes and country.
The Primrose League can do
much to foster the creation of
rifle clubs"
A resolution was adopted urg
ing British subjects TO prepare in
times of peace to play their part
in time of imperial emergency.
