CRUSHED TO DEATH.
WelI-KnOxvn New Yorker Killed Jtn-
der His Automobile.

West Point, N. Y, Oct. PA dis.
tressing accident occurred near here
Saturday afternoon Which resulted in
the almost instant death of Frederick
H. Benedict, son of E. c. Benedict, and
perhaps the fatal injury of Grenville
Kane, guest of Mr.. Benedict. Mr.. Een-
edict and his friend Kane, with a
Chauffeur, started from Tuxedo in an
automobile for West Point to attend
the football game. A heavy storm
which broke over the mountains just
as the automobile party was approach
ing the summit of the hill was the di-
rect cause of the accident. A moment
after the machine had passed the sum-
nit a gust loosened the rubber blanket
in front of Mr.. Benedict, who was
driving. 1t obscured his vision for a
brief period and he lost control of the
machine. It dashed about and rolled
over against a stone wall. All of the
occupants were thrown out, but Mr..
Benedict was the only man who fell
underneath.

My lady," says a well-known chem.
1st, writes tender sentiments To hor
lord with ink made from an old CON
per cotfee-pot on paper made from old
collars" The utilization of waste
products. which is adding so enor-
mously to the wealth of the world
furnishes many such fantastic adam.
tations. Give me the sewage of Nov,
York says Doctor Long, "and I will
return you yearly the superior milk
OF a hundred thousand cows" The
waste soap-suds from wooden factories
which used to pollute hundreds of
rivers, Is now precipitated, and the
coagulum is pressed into bricks and
converted into superior Illuminating
gas. These are but examples of the
ingenuity of man. That the field ;s
far from exhausted is instanced in the
estimate that from six hundred To q
thousand OF fine coal are thrown awav
every day in the ashes of New YORK;
1t is not impossible that some reader
OF this paragraph will invent process
for retaining this wasted material.

The percentage of foreigners in va.

comment, and often the cause ~
gloomy forebodings in regard to the

surprising to find that among the very
large alien population of New Yorl,
ana New Jersey the ratio of illiteracv
is comparatively small. In both states
the number of foreign-born but
naturalized citizens who cannot read

Even among those who have taken
out only their first papers'-and This

ton that he will be better ono than
the man who cannot.

Ihlrty years ago." writes a con.
'riputor to the Outlook, "coal-tar was
almost unknown to German industry:
but between 1877 and 1890 no fewer
imam eight hundred patents were TAX
en- out on coal-tar derivatives, and in
1898 the Industries connected with the
utilization of coal-tar-a former waste
n aateriai-yielded over seventeen mil
non dollars in products" Equally i'm
portant developments have taken
place In this country, in the packing
business and other industries. It is a
1alr inference that substances we call
"tieless' are SO only because we have
not yet learned how to use them.

FOREIGNERS TAKE
STRIKERS PLACES,
Laborers Are Brought From The
North.
COMPANY SPRING A SURPRISE
On Americas Men By Bringing For
eigners to Take Their Places in
Seaboard Shops, The New Corners
Are Sleeping at The Yards.

The arrival of twenty-ore laborers
from some northern port yesterday was
genuine surprise to the striking ma
chinists formerly employed in the Sea
board Systems shops in Americas, and
whose places these foreigners have
| come to take.
In fact, they have taken the places
already.
The new men arrived on q daylight
Central train and were driven in hacks
to the Seaboard shops, arriving there
before their presence was known.
Nearly all of these non-unIonists, it
is said, are Russians and Italians, there
being but three or four English speak
ing men among them. They came here
direct from Baltimore, where the COM
pany is hiring others to take the places
of strikers.
A carload of fifty or sixty left Balti-
more on Friday.
1t is the purpose of the company to
employ this class of labor at all the
machine shops where the striking ma
chinists are still out.
Nearly forty men, including appren-
tees, laid down their tools in the Am
circus shops and walked out ten days
ago in demand for shorter hours and
increased pay. The officials refused to
yield to their demands and the strike
is still on.
After the walkout the men have since
declined to return to work. Then the
company undertook to fill their places.
And with what success the arrival of
these foreigners shows.
The new workmen Will eat and sleep
in the company's shops here for the
present, at least. Officials here bought
yesterday dray load of cots and such
furniture and utensils as will be need
ed there.
The purpose in quartering the new
corners at the shops is best known to
the railway officials, and no informa
ton was volunteered.
The striking machinises may hold a
meeting today, and will await lnstru c.
tions from their officers before taking
further steps, if any Several of the
striking apprentice boys belong in
Americas, and the situation here is
very generally regretted by all.
1t is said that both the Seaboard ard
Southern will fill the places of their
striking machinists with this foreign
talent. Two Pipkerton detectives came
with the Europeans. but their presence
seems unnecessary.

1t is generally known and understood
that Drunkenness is a disease and not
weakness. A body filed with poison,

selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HOME GOLD CURE,' which has
been perfected after many years of close
study and treatment of inebriates. The
fsithful use according to directions of
this wonderful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most obstinate

FARMERS BRING BAD REPORTS.
Of Injury to Crops From Recent Dis
asters.

If Sumter county eyer had poorer
crop prospect at this season the farmers
here cannot recall the time. Dozens
of the representative farmers of the
county came to Americas yesterday,
and all report the cotton crop prospect
anything than fattering. Floods of
rain, numerous hailstorms, high winds
and cold weather have. combined to give
both cotton and corn black eye, and
now even the wheat and oats, in a
great measure, are threatened by the
continued rain. It is indeed gloomy
outlook for the farmers, and if cotton
goes to FIVE or six cents next fall it will
be calamity indeed,
