Brief Paragraphs Giving Some OF the
Happenings OF the World of Man

The Springstein mills, of Chester,
S. c. sustained heavy loss by fire
last Thursday morning, and the mill
will be closed down for two or three
months. The loss is estimated at
$4,000.
Ben Brown negro charged with
having attempted to assault Mrs.
Henry Dees, white, was on Thursday
night taken from the jail at Tslla-
poosa, Ga, and lynched.
Jno. D. Rockefeller has offered to
give s5O0,0OO to Columbia Univer.
sity' provided the college will raise
$4,000 to pay off the debt of the
institution, and S25O,O0O besides.
Rockefeller makes the gift as a
"thank offering' to Almighty God"
for the preservation of his household
from the fire which recently de-
stroyed his country home at Pecan
tico Hills.

The robber boasted that he was
the man who took part in the hold
up of the Southern Pacific tram near
Portland Ore, about one year ago.
He made this boast to the train hands
to terrorize them while he employed
them to run the train four miles to a
point two miles east of Drummond.
He declared that he would be hard
to catch, as he had a horse on the
timber.
The Northern pacific has offered
reward of $4,000 for delivery dead
or alive, of the train robber who
killed O'Neill.
The mask worn by the bandit was
found on a mountain trail, two miles
from the scene Of the hold up and
that after giving the hounds the
scent of the mask, the animals i'm
mediately took up the trail, which
was then about eight hours old.

ing road over the Blue Ridge
mountains, whose greatest grade will
be one foot in thirty. "The road
will be an expensive one to build"
says the New Orleans paper, "but
will pay for itself in the hauling of
the first three crops. One horse can
draw as much over this road as three
could over the mountain roads now
in existence, which amounts to the
difference between af1uence and
peDury to the one-horse GARNER"
The farmers Of this part of the coun-
try have seen enough of the beneficial
results of good roads to convince
them that money wisely expended in
their construction is money in their
pockets In this section of good roads
no man can be found to raise voice
against them. At first the farmers
regarded the movement with indiffer-
ence, but this feeling did not last
long, and cry for good roads came
up from all parts of the country.
The most serious trouble encoun-
tered by the road building authori-
ties has been, snd is yet, to build the
roads fast enogh and in a sufficient
number of different directions to
please the people.

ENGINEER SHOT DEAD
And TRAIN ROBBED.
WORK OF A SINGLE DEsPERADO IN
MONTANA WILDS
Bloodhounds Are on His Trsck-A Reward
Of $4,000 offered For His Body, Dead
or Alive Boosted OF Another
Robbery.

Missoula, Mont, Oct. 24.-Ar
esstbound passenger train on the
Northern Pacific was held up last
night near Drummond, Mont, As
miles from this city, and Engineer
Dan O'Neill was killed.
The train, which included mail,
baggage and express cars and nine
coaches arrived at Missoula at 1920
p. M, and proceeded eastward after
a short delay at the station. It ar
rived after midnight at place two
miles west of Drummond. Here the
| train was signalled to stop and the
engineer slowed up. While doing
so, he saw man creeping toward
him over the tender. The man, who
was armed, called to O'Neill to stop
the train instantly.
The engineer took in the situation
at ouce aud pulling open the throt-
tie, tried to start the train at full
speed. The robber OWNED his pur.
pose, and fired at him. The shot
took instant effect and the engineer
fell dead at his post.
The robber then proceeded to rife
the express and mail cars. He plum
dered the regular mail and blew open
the safe in the express car which was
wrecked by the explosion,
The amount of plunder he secured
is not known at present but 1t is snp
posed to be large. The excitement
on the train was intense. The sud-
den stoppage of the train followed
soon by the explosion, spread alarm
among the train hands and the pass
engers. The darkness of the night
and the loneliness of the place added
to the general scenes of terror.
Word of the attack was sent to
Drummond, whence it was tele,
graphed to Deer Lodge, about 80
miles away. Bloodhounds we're sent
out at once and steps were taken to
keep vigilant watch for the robbers.
1t was assumed that at least eight
men we're engaged in the hold-up,
but the latest advices are that. one
man alone perpetrated the murder
and robbery.
Dan O'Neill, the dead engineer,
lived in this city and had a wife and
five children. He had been in the
service of the Northern Pacific longer
than any other engineer.

Booker T. Washington recently
told gathering of negroes that one
of the great faults of his race was q
disposition to exhibit knowledge
under any and all circumstances,
and asserted that, until the negro
learned not to disply his vanity, he
was useless in any confidential ca.
pacity. By way of illustration, he
told story which, he said, might. be
or might not be apocryphal but
which was good enough to be true.
Gen. Sherman had been told that
the soldiers of negro regiment in
his command were very lax when on
sentry duty, and showed fondness
for passing doubtful persons through
the lines just to indulge their power
to do so. To ascertain if this were
so, he mufled himself one night in a
cloak, and tried to, get past black
sentry. After the "Who goes there?"
the "A friend," and the advance,
friend, and give the countersign,"
had been exchanged, Sherman re,

GOOD'ROADS.
Practical Demonstrations from Meckleu-
burg County, in North Carolina.
The Charlotte Observer says tk

| The Charlotte Observer says thai
the value of good roads has had q
practical demonstration in Mecklen-
burg County for number of years
past. In fact, the movement origin
sted in this county and Charlotte has
been the Mecca of numerous delega-
tions seeking information on the
building of good roads. The move
ment in Mecklenburg has never been
permitted to lag and each month
sees an addition to the good roads.
The movement in Mecklenburg has
never been permitted to lag and each
month sees an addition to the good
, roads mileage of the county. In other
parts of the county where there has
been a halt efforts are being made
for revival of good road building.
The good roads bureau of the United
States government is doing excellent
service in it's work of arousing the
people to the value of good highways
and has recently given out some fig
ures. the entire correctness of which
will be substantiated by the people
of Mecklenburg, who have had expe-
rience with all sorts of roads. The
burea endorses the report of its en-
gineer, who finds that the cost of
moving one ton by horsepower over
one mile of sandy roads is 81 cents,
over damp sand 81 cents, over ruts
and mud 80 cents, over broken stone
and ruts 26 cents, over an earth road
that is dry and hard Is cents, over a
broken stone roao in good condition
8 cents, over a compact gravel road
8.8 cents, over stone paving 5.33
cents, over asphalt 2.7 cents.
The value of improved roads is
demonstrated in another way by a
writer in Lippincott's Magazine, who
tells of the improvement to a road
in NV Jersey. He says:
"Formerly it took wagon, weigh
ing 1900 pounds, with four horses
and two men, to haul q tons of pro
duce to market from a Camden
County farm and bring back load
of fertilizer of the same weight, and
then it took a whole day doing it.
Often enough the wagon got mired
and then it took more than a, day.
Over one of the new roads it now
takes only one man, two horses and
wagon, weighing 1900 pounds, to
carry a load of four tons to market
and bring another load of the same
weight back; and the round trip is
made in half day"
Commenting on these facts, the
New Orleans Times Democrat thinks

Democratic party in the next Presi.
Dental election. In reply to di
rect inquiry as to whether he believed
the Democrats have a chance to win
the election in 1894 he said:
Beyond doubt they have and
there is no reason that forbids sue
cess to them. They have excellent
material from which to choose a
leader. What better candidates could
party have than Senator German,
of Maryland; former Secretary o.
ney, of Massachusetts, or Judge Par
ker, of New York;"
Mr.. Smith went on to say that the
democrats surely occupy the best
position on the tariff question and
there is every indication that the
: country at large sustains the Dem
ocratic view. If, with a strong
leader, who will command the conf
dence and respect of the business in
terests of the country, Democratic
triumph. in 1904 is more than prob
able"
Now it seems to be the duty of
Mr.. German, or Mr.. Olney, or some
equally distinguished and conserva
tive member of the Democratic party
to come out boldly and accept the
responsibility of leadership. Now is
the time to organize the party for
ces and assemble the practical ma
terial to be used in the next Presi-
Dental campaign. During the past
eight years the Democrats have gone
to the National Convention disor-
ganized, without any fixed parpose
or favorite candidate in view, and
the result was confusion, disappoint
ment and defeat. If Senator Cor
man is regarded as worthy leader
he should stand forth and take up
the standard. If Mr.. Olney is pre-
ferred then he should yield to the
demands of his countrymen and
allow them to 60 to work for him
with the understanding that he will
abide the consequences Presiden
tial nominations are worth striving
for and they usually go to those who
indicate a willingness to possess
them.
President Roosevelt dos not hesi-
tate to let it be known that he de-
sires to be elected in his own right.
He is not afraid of adverse criticism
or opposition from whatever source
it may emanate. There are num-
Der of eligible men in the Demo
cratic party, possessing all the ele-
ments Of leadership, who would in.
spire confidence, courage and success
if they would consent to make pollt-
ical targets OF themselves for the
time being.

stepped in with protest, so that the
lsborers in Uncle Sans vineyard
hardly know what is expected OF
them. Naturally they do not like
the idea of "giving up" to cam

and subsistence running q neck. and

In spite of the discouraging con-
ditions the Democratic managers have
been industriously and effectively at
work since the campaign opened,
and it is now conceded that the Dem
ocrats have good fighting chance
of carrying the next House. Repre-
sentative Babcock and his Republi
can associates do not admit it, but
some equally level headed members
of the party look forward to such a
result because Of the dissensions in
the party throughout the West and
Northwest. 1t is fair to assume at
, any rate that, even if the Democrats
do not capture the House, they will
cut the Republican majority and
blaze the way for possible Demo
cratic success at the next Presiden
tial election. A.. "
There is, a wen-founded belief in
political circles that the Republican
bosses are preparing to unhorse
President Roosevelt if they can. He
is not administering the affairs of
State in accordance with their ideas
and desires. The stronger he grows
with the people the more offensive
he becomes to the. republican mag
mates who profess to control the
party. Many substantial and con-
servative men declare that the coun
try would derive material benefit by
change in the political complexion
of the administration. Many wise
men believe that the Democrats now
have q golden opportunity to put
forward strong, safe and expert
enced man and carry the next cleo
ton. These are such men to be
found in the Democratic ranks and
, tie sooner one or more of them is
brought out into the open the better
it will be for the party.

CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN,


The following review of the out
look IN regard to the coming Con
gressional campaign is from th'
Washington correspondence OF th'
News and Courier:
There IS q marked absence of in
terest and enthusiasm in the pend
ing political campaign, and the man
agement on both sides of the partisan
fence are unhappy. Both parties
are ..hard mp for the sinews of>wal
and the boys who make business oi
getting behind the ballots refuse tc
&C to work except for q far consid
eration. The dividing lines between
the two great national parties are SC
dimly outlined that thousands and
thousands Of conservative voters are
Indifferent as to whether the Demo,
Gratis or the Republicans carry the
next House OF Representatives,.
The coal strike promised to cut an
important figure in the coming cleo
tion, especially in Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland and
West Virginia. The indications now
are that the strike will be settled be-
fore election day and neither party
will have realized any material ad-
vantage from the threatened coal
famine. Both parties have suffered
great disadvantages during the past
month or two from the agitation OF
the coal war. Politics has been
swept aside, and even the most at
traetive spell binders sent out upon
the political highway to ''whoop up''
the voters hsti to be called in because
of lack of interest in. the campaign.
Strike news had a monopoly in all
OF the leading newspapers OF the
country and politics seemed to be a
dead issue for the time being. Siren
uons efforts will be made during the
remaining two weeks before election
to work up some excitement over the
contest for possession Of the next
House of Representatives. The out
look for 8 sensational finish is not
promising as both the Republican
and Democratic Congressional com
mittees are financially embarrassed.
The Democrats have to depend en-
tirely upon loyal and generously dis,
posed members of the party for con-
tributions. The latter class of Dem
ocrsts appears to be wofully small

Tragic Death at currie.

One of the saddest events III the
history of the village of Currie occurred
during the latter part of February at
the home Of Michael Rigby, an es-
teemed resident of that place. His
wife, Mrs. Mary Rigby, was found
dead on the floor of her bedroom
smothered with coal gas and in an
other room was found the PROSTATE
body of their oldest son, Richard an
parently dead, but after four days of
hard work Of local physicians tho
young man regained consciousness and
has now thoroughly recovered his
health.
+, Mr.. Rigby also had narrow escape:
during the night he remembered n
choking sensation which caused him
to arise in his bed and falling to the
floor where the air was purer, he Law
there until morning. Mrs. Rigby the
deceased, was born in the County of
Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1858, her maiden
name being Mary Walsh. She was
a devout Catholic, loving wife and a
fond mother; she leaves Il husband,
three sons and a daughter. The be-
reaved family have the sympathy of
the entire community in their great

In recent address on Abraham
Lincoln, Rev. Martin D. Hardin,
fearless and patriotic Protestant min
lister Of this city, expressed great
truth when he said: ga man who
teaches the doctrine that our country
must be followed, right Or wrong, is
more deserving Of place in the pen
itentiary than a seat among our law
makers. He is the real traitor to
every principle that has made our
country worthy of respect and love.
If you ought always to do right, and
1 ought always to do right, can all
these individuals club. together and
do toward another nation that which
would be wrong for one man to do
to another? Does the deed done by
many men become right, which, done
by one man, would be wrong? The
wisest statesmen have thought that
the simple law of right binds individ-
uals and nations alike" If Rev.
Hardin continues to speak in that style
the imperialists will get after him and
denounce him as "a traitor They
