The Beauty 0, Bro.herlY Love.

In these days, when every one seems
to be on the push for himself alone, it is
refreshing to witness aud appreciate the
fact that kindness and brotherly love
still exist in the human heart.
Bro. o. G. Burton, formerly of Wall
halls, a son OF our fellow townsman, Mr..
Z. a. Burton, was so severely injured by
an explosion of dynamite In coal mine
at Blossburg, Ala, on June 9th that
death ensued few days after the occur
renee. Bro. Burton belonged to a fra
ternal order known as the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. This order, hear
ing in a few hours of his calamity, i'm
mediately came to his rescue, and he re-
ceived from their brotherly hands all the
loving care he would have had had he
been in the hands of his own family.
Indeed, even after his father and mother
reached him, the Odd Follows continued
their efforts for his welfare; and when at
last, their efforts having proven unavail-
ing, Bro. Burton passed over the river
that marks the unknown shore, they,
with the true spirit of brotherhood, at
tended to all the delicate duties of plac-
ing Bro. Burton in bis last resting place,
Bros. Agerton and Welch accompanying
the remains from Alabama for this pur-
pose. Bro. Agerton is Vice Grand of
the Blossburg (Alabama) Lodge, and
Bro. Welch is a member of the same
Lodge as was Bro. Burton. They were
assisted in their last sad duties by Oconee
Lodge of Odd Fellows of this place.

President Woodward Retired.

Columbia, June 12.-F. G. Wood
ward, president of the South Carolina Col
lege, was to-day retired from the presi-
dency by the board of trustees. Though
reports have been circulated to the effect
that for some time harmony has not
existed between President Woodward
and the students, yet this radical action
on the part Of the board came in the
nature Of surprise. 1t is understood
that the board had given the matter
careful consideration before any action
was taken and it is believed by the
members of the board that it was for the
best interest of the college to make a
change in regard to the executive head.
Woodward views the matter from a diff
trent standpoint than that taken by the
board and has refused to resign. Just
what further action will be taken has
not yet been learned. Woodward has
been president of the college for seven
years and when it was learned that the
board of trustees had requested his resig-
nation there were many expressions of
surprise. So far as known the board
has no one in view to fill the vacancy
which was created by the action today.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Juno ia fatal
collision occurred on the Nashville, Chat

about fifteen others, more or less, seri-

the wounded will die from the effects of
their injuries.
The story of the wreck, as told by pas

one, as they were able to see the ap-
preaching disaster. On account of the
position of the track, there being dou-
BILE reverse curve at the place of the

it merely passing of regular trains and
did not heed the warning until the crash
came, and it was too late to help them
selves.
The accommodation train, being tho
lighter ono, was entirely telescoped, the
ponderous machinery of the fast train
plowing it's way through the cars and
splnterng them into kindling wood.
Both engines had their position reversed
and were thrown 40 yards from the
tracks.
