Special To The State.
Greenwood, Sept. f. Freight
train No. II on the Charleston
and Western Carolina railroad
was wrecked about two miles
from the city last night. rhc
freight is scheduled to leave here
at 4.3O p. m, but last night il
did not leave until 7.O5 y. IN. 1t
was in charge CT Engineer Kulk-
heke and Conductor Verdcry. In
some way the cars left the track,
plling upon each other, and then
caught fire. Eight cars were
burned. The engineer was pret
ty badly bruised up, though his
engine did not leave the track.
The conductor also sustained some
injuries and the hagman, who
came back to the city, said that
he thought one of the negro train
hands had his arm broken. The
glow of the burning cars could be
plainly seen here. Several cases
OF matches were loaded here yes
terdaY afternoon and 1t is posi-
bic that in the smashup they start
ed the blaze. The wreck was
first reported from Corouuca by
the engineer, who after getting
his engine loose, went on to that
station. About 9 o'clock the
fagman turned up here, having
walked all the way. He sub,
stantiated the above details.
Chief Mcmillan arrived IN the
city yesterday from Clinton
Mass, with the negro, Julian
Foster, in custody. He had ex-
pected to arrive earlier, but he
arrived in Boston on Sunday and
nothing could be done that day,
and the following day was Labor
Day, a legal holiday, SO his time
was unavoidably heightened. The
negro was all smiles when he
alighted from the train and did
not seem to feel in the slightest
degree the enormity of the crime
for which he is held. AS soon as
possible Chief Mcmillan turned
him over to Deputy Sheriff Nc
Caslin, who escorted him over to
the county Jail, where he now is.

THE MAN REMIND THE GUN.

Ever since the Spanish war ''the man
behind the gun" in the United States
navy has been celebrated in song and
speech, but it now appears that he
must make much better showing than
he did then If he wants to continue to
be celebrated. Lieutenant Commander
A. P. Niblack has been studying, and
he finds that our fleet at Santiago ac
complished what it did with less than
per cent. of hits, and at that time our
navy had the reputation Of having the
best gunners in the world. Since then
both ordnance and gunnery have been
almost revolutionized, so much so that
guns and methods good enough for 1898
are an invitation to-day to disastrous
and bitter defeat. To illustrate how
gunnery has improved and how terrible
must be the hail of projectiles in
modern fleet engagement the recent
progress made in the British navy in
the matter of target practice is noticed.
AS published in the British press and
verified by official reports, in 1901 the
average of forty-eight British ships was
nearly two hits per minute per gun Is x
inch batteries). The best fifteen Of the
forty-eight made from two to four hits
per minute per gun, but the best indi-
vidual record was a string of eight
shots and eight hits in one minute. In
the trials the target was twenty feet
long by sixteen high, and each ship
steamed past at a speed of twelve
knots at distance of nearly one stat
ute mile, firing one gun at time.
From the record of the British navy
for six-inch guns for the year 1902, so
far as published, Lieutenant Command
err Niblack shows that eighty-two six
inch guns fired Ss7 projectiles in two
minutes and made SIS hits, or nearly 60
per cent. The Ocean averaged nearly
five hits a minute. One of her gun cap
tains fired nine shots and made nine
hits in one minute. This is easily the
worlds record.
If England has the most and the best
ships and the best gunners she can con-
tinue to rule the wave. Probably the
United States gunners are bracing up,
but they will have to work hard and
long to excel the record of the British
gunners, Fortunately, the latter are
our friends.

Mr.. Clement of Rutland, who based
his campaign for the governorship on
the idea that the people of Vermont
were ready to go back on prohibition,
apparently had the right perception of
the situation, though his sagacity didn't
make him governor. The legislature of
Vermont has fastened to adopt higa
license and local option bill. This bill
has several interesting features. 1t
adopts the plan of an annual referen-
dunn on the licensing of saloons; it sets
a minimum fee Of $500 for general
license and a maximum fee of $1,000.
1t grants fermented liquor license at
$3.50. The working of this last provision
will be watched with interest, because
it has proved almost impossible in
practice to establish the theoretically
desirable distinction between places
where light drinks are sold and those
where ardent spirits are dispensed. A
fanciful feature of the bill is an anti
treating clause.
The bill will come before the people
of the State for approval or disapproval
on the first Tuesday of January, 1903,
and the expectation is that it will be
approved. In the senate there was on
ly one vote against it and in the house
the majority was nearly two to one.
So unless the representatives + the
people in the legislature have grossly
misrepresented them, there is good
reason to think that prohibition will be
overthrown in Vermont.

where, to add to the enjoyments, an or
chestra discoursed music to make the
time pass more pleasantly. Some Of
these tea parlors'' were fitted up in
most palatial manner, surprising any of
the pubs" and in a business sense
were most successful. The hours for
the orchestra to play were usually from
1890 TO 2:30 and from to $50 o'clock.
One of the Parliamentary statutes Of
Great Britain provides that to have
music one shall obtain a license from
the municipal justices, and the JUS
tices Of Liverpool who recently met in
annual session for the purpose of issu-
ing musical licenses made the rule that
tea parlors" can only have music be-
tween the hours of $3.50 and $50 in the
afternoon. The reason given was that
incentive for keeping persons away
from their employment. The action of
blow to the temperance movement, and
it is openly charged that the excuse
given by the justices is a subterfuge de-
void Of truth, and that they are playing
into the hands of the proprietors of the
places where intoxicating drinks are
sold. The temperance societies are max
ing a big protest and threaten to take
the matter to the courts.

SATISFYING.

Well. the mighty men of Cambridge
came. saw. felt and fell. And great was
the fall Of them. a more satisfying day
than Saturday was for Yale couldn't be
desired, if one accepts the notion that
superiority in football is the chief end
and aim of big school. The triumph
was so complete and thorough that
there were no ifs about it. Twenty
three to nothing is enough. as there is
no below zero" in a football score. If
there were it is more than probable that
Harvard would have got it. The fears
of some Of those who had bet on the
blue were shown to have no foundation,
and the hopes Of those who had bet on
the red We're shown to be equally
without foundation. Words are not
adequate to celebrate such a victory,
and even the wordless noise and the
free-fowing rum of Saturday night did
MT seem to really fit the situation.
Yale's athletic year ends in such a
''corpulent amplitude" Of glory that she
can feel warm all winter even if coal
continues to cost much.
We hereby pay our humble tribute to
the heroes who did the doughty deed,
and did it so doughtily. We hope those
who run the literary side of the Univer-
sity won't feel jealous of them and will
feel properly grateful to them.

DIR. Leeto OH Socialism.

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier;
I attended the meeting at Dwight
Place church Sunday evening and en-
joyed the discourse Of the pastor on
Socialism. I suppose the best way to
form an estimate of a sermon or lee
ture or essay is to try to put yourself in
the position of the speaker or writer and
look at the question from his point of
view. Mr.. Leete said that the church
should not seem" to favor either side
in the controversy between capital and
labor. Looked at from this point of
view his lecture was a masterlyN per-
Torrance. 1t could not give offense to
either. There are two statements which
he made, however, which are not just,
those who hope to injure the Socialist
movement by Misrepresentation. The
statement he made was that 'the Social
Democratic movement Is anti-religious
and materialistio and it propagates
atheism" Mr.. Leete quoted several
prominent Socialist writer's in support
Of this statement, but they lived and
wrote thirty years ago. Indeed, many
of the speakers criticisms were aimed
at the errors of the early days of the
Socialist movement and have no appli-
cation 20 the present time.
1t is true that some prominent Social
lists have attacked the Church as an

THE LIVERPOOL TEA PARLORS.

The temperance reformers in Liver
pool were getting along pretty well, but
they are both sad and mad now. They
had succeeded in reducing the number
Of public houses in the city by more
than one half, and had replaced them
by so-called "tea parlors," where tea
and coffee and other soft drinks were
sold, where light lunches could be had,
where games of cards, checkers, domi-

Is 1t true that babies never get sea-
sick? An American line steward, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Record,
says it is. II have carried thousands
of them in my time" she says and in
rough weather + have seen their faith
ers, natohers. brothers and sisters keel
over like soldiers before a cannon ball;
but not so with the babies. Whether
it be rough Or smooth at sea, a baby
is always an excellent sailor-rosy,
jolly, and with the appetite Of horse.
Do you know the explanation of this
singular fact? 1t is as simple as the
fact is strange. Babies don't get sea-
sick because they are accustomed to
the rocking of the cradle. That move
ment is much like the rocking of a
ship. A baby aboard ship, therefore,
is merely a baby in an unusually big
cradle, and there is nothing odd to him
about the rocking, for it is what he
has been accustomed to all his life.''
More than three thousand persons in
Japan make a good living by breeding,
training and selling what are known
as singing insects. Like crickets, these
insects are and their Japanese names
are kust-hibari and suzu-mushi. The
music which they make resembles that
of silver bell, and though rather mo-
notoneus, is very clear and sweet. The
Japanese keep the insects in tiny bam-
boo cages and take quite as good care
of them as Americans take of canaries
or other pet birds. Some Of them pre-
fer the music which is made by GER
tain species Of frog, known as kajiga,
and they are always ready to pay a
high price for frogs which are we'll
! bred and we'll trained. These they can
generally obtain, according to for
eign journal, for several persons spend
their entire time breeding and training
frogs and insects which they offer for
sale every year at fairs held during
June in Toxic and other large cities.

Professor Finley of Princeton has in

study in practical politics which is like
ly to prove attractive to the students.
He is going to organize them into a
chamber of deputies, similar to the

ing to acquaint the members of the
course with the procedure Of European
legislative assemblies, with their exist
ing political groups or parties, and
their present political issues. At pres
ent 1t win follow as closely as possible
