Soft silken, stuffed with every pretty thought;
Ii could lay carpet where you tread
OF all my life's most radiant fancies wrought
Could spread my soul as canopy above you,
Your sleep, your steps, should know how much l
love you!
But, as life goes, to the old sorry tune,
stand apart and see thorns wound your feet
Your sleeping eyes resenting star and moon,
Your head rest, restless, on breast unmeet
And say no word, but suffer without moan
Lest you should guess how much you are a'one'

as one familiar with its use. The
three candidates for the Legislature
were present. They spoke in order
as named, DR.. Shuler, Mr.. Sturkie
and Mr.. Towill. Each OF tine speak
ers went ever about the same ground
that they covered at the previous
meetings and nothing new was
brought out except Dr.. Stuler, wi o
opposed the proposed Soldiers Home
and said that the old veterans should
be allowed to enjoy their small pit
tance around the freside of loved
ones where tender hands could ad-
minister to the wants OF declining
age and brighten the few remaining
days of their pilgrimage on earth in
the presence of those for whom they
bore the bruut Of battle. He favored
board Of pardons which would re
lieve the Governor cf much RESPONSE
bility. Mr.. Sturkie also opposed the
Soldiers Home.
The meeting at Irmo was only
moderately attended and our old
friend, Mr.. j. ". Dfeher, presided.
The distinguishing mark OF this
meeting was the close attention with
which they followed each speaker
which was very encouraging to the
candidates aud they rose to the de-
mands of the occasion and wa1ed
more eloquent as they proceeded.
They stated the platform on which
they were standing and explained
each plank in that platform. Each
candidate made friends at these meet
iogs and were greatly encouraged by
the results of their speaking.
Irmo is quite lively little place
and is on the upgrade to success.
Considerable business is carried on
in the lumber and wood interest.
The next and last meeting will be
at Brookland on the night of Sept.
7tt, and on the 10th of that month
the election will take place when
every voter is expected to go to the
polls and cast his vote for Lever for
CONGRESS and his choice of the can
didates for the Legislature.

will be remembered that Colonel
Neal was convicted upon q legal
technicality for failing to turn over
money in his hand 10 his successor

The trial was most remal kable one
in that it developed into clear csse
of persecution on the part of the

Five Men Killed.

The Columbia Evening Record, Aug. 9th.
Five men are dead, one is dying,
and two a'e seriously hurt by reason
of an accident on the new Congaree
bridge being built by the Southern
railroad. From what could be learned
this morning the fearful accident was
the result of nobody's fault, but was
just one of those things that are liable
to occur at almost anytime in such
enterprises. Reports in the city today
greatly exaggerated the accident,
though it was bad enough under any
circumstances. The dead men are
not C)lumbians, but that detracts
nothing from the horror of the re-
suit.
Two bridge girdsrs about seventy
feet long, and weighing about four
teen tons each, fell from the South.
ern railroad trestle leading over the
Congaree about 8 o'clock this morn
ing, and as q result four men are
dead, one is dying and two are SELL
ously hurt.
The dead men are: Casselberry,
white; Alstor, Tobias and Reese,
colored. SAM" colored man from
Anderson, is dying from injuries re-
ceived; David Styles, colored, had his
leg and both arms broken, and Henry
Coleman, also colored, was struck in
the head and seriously hurt.
Just how the accident occurred no
one will ever be able to tell, but
bridge builder gave the following as
the most plausible explanation. The
two girders were heisted on each side
of the track and held in place by
blocks and hemp rope. The rain
Saturday afternoon caused the rope
to slip some. This morning the work
on the bridge caused one girder to
lose it's balance and fall over against
the other, with the above result.
Coleman and Styles, who were the
only ones who went down and still
live, tell how the rest were killed
Casselberry, the white man, was
struck by the first beam and was in
stantly killed.
Aston and Tobias were hit by the
timber and, also, instantly killed.
Reese was carried with the beam and
is still held under the water by it.
The negro Sam, from Anderson,
(the last name could not be learned)
was struck in the back by flying tim
bers, as were Styles and Coleman.
Every effort will be made to recover
the body of Reese as soon as the other
beam is taken from the track.
The track and trestle are not dam
aged any and trains will be run in
this afternoon.
Coroner Green went down as soon
as be heard of the accident, but it is
thought the inquest will be held by
the Lexington coroner.
The man reported as dying was
later in the afternoon reported as
dead. This will make the list of
dead FIVE men.

He Did Just Right.

The attack on Marshal Sauer last
week by the Chronicle because he
found it necessary to put hand cuffs
on boy was entirely uncalled for. The
facts are that two boys named Sim.
mons and Buchanan have given their
parents and teachers so much trouble
that they were turned over to Supt.
Niesley to handle and he asked Mar.
shall Sauer to cooperate with him.
They ran away from school and were
catching car rides in the Santa Fe
yards when the marshal found
them. He caught Simmons and
and with a handcuff fastened him to
a bicycle while he chased the other.
He then took the former boy to Jail.
The other returned to school and both
have promised to be good and attend
school as they should do. Marshal
Sauer deserves credit for assisting the
school authorities 10 work outside his
regular duties. Every boy in town
should be made to 90 to school and
stay there,
