Accident to the Michigan.
present,

Erie, Pa, July 15.-While the
United States steamer Michigan lay
at her dock at 1890 this morning the
freighter M. B. Grover, from the
Pittsburg dock, stove into her, driv-
ing her down the bay fully 15O feet.
The crash was terrific. The nose
of the Grover ploughed into the
Michigan, tearing her from her fas-
Jennings, and held her in front while
the Grover carried her all that dis
tance. The crew were demoralized.
Commander Winder, of the Michi
gan, estimates the loss at $4,000.
This includes the running of two six
pound Brigg Schroeder rapid-fre
guns of an improved pattern and a
whale boat valued at $4O0.
Commander Winder at once wired
the Navy Department at Washing
ton of the accident, and says the
ship will be out of commission seve-
raj months while undergoing repairs.
The ship received no damage below
the water line and her engines also
escaped damage, and she returned to
her dock under her own steam after
the accident.
Capt. @. r. Baker, of the Grover,
it is said, places the blame on Second
Engineer James Murray. The boat
was moving toward fuel dock near
the Michigan's berth and he signalled
to reverse the engines. Instead
Murray gave full speed ahead.

Picnic at eilmers Mill.

Tugaloo. July 1s.-Mr. Henry
Werner delightfully."- entertained a
number of his friends at a picnic Sat.
urday at Gilmer's Mill, and those
who have been SO fortunate as to
attend picnios at the mill know what
o good time we had. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilmer opened wide their home to
the guests, and lunch was served in
the dining room. We shall never
forget the hot rolls and coffee Mrs.
Gilmer served after the other dainty
refreshments. The lunch was en-
joyed 80 much by all. We never
saw a nicer andjone' 80 much enjoyed.
The afternoon was spent at the mill
or in the parlor, where Miss Jenne
Ray Auld charmed the guests with
her sweet voice and music on the
piano. Miss Jenne plays well for
one 80 young, and has inherited from
her mother, who is remembered here
as Miss Lizzie Werner, the art of en-
tertaining.
When Mr.. Werner sends out invi-
tations 10 picnics the answer is: "I
will be sure to come, as / always
enjoy your picnics." Few young
men have so many friends among
the rich and poor, old and young, as
Henry Werner. AZ Guest.

Beers Down on Traitors.

Pretoria, Transvaal, July 1s.-The
settlement of the annexed territories
ia not being accomplished without
considerable friction. This is espe-
cially noticeable in the bitter hatred
and persecution on the part of the
Beers who stayed in the field to the
end of the war against the Beers
who served as British scouts. 1t is
said that some of these national
scouts have been shot or beaten. So
intense is the feeling that many of
the burghers who fought consist
emily to the end distinguish them
selves from those who surrendered
during the war by wearing a green
badge. The Transgaal and Free
State colors are also worn and the
custom is encouraged by the Dutch,
who did not take an active part in
the war. Many of the burghers as
sert that they were induced to sur
render by the false representations
of their leaders, who painted the
terms too rosily. Discordant ele-
ments are numerous, and any at
tempt to place the burghers who
surrendered during the war in au-
thority over those who fought
throughout will inevitably result in
renewal of hostilities. The ma
jority of the Beers have apparently
in no way abandoned their nation
ality and some of them preach the
advisability of opening Dutch schools,
so as to keep alive their national
life. The whole situation 80 bristles
with difficulties that there are not
lacking those who doubt if the docu-
ment signed May 81 was really the
final settlement of the South African
trouble.

Mr.. Martin F. Freeman.

Aftei long illness Mr.. Martin Il.
Freeman, a highly respected citizen
OF Oconee county, passed from earth
on June %, and his body was laid to
rest in the cemetery of the Old
Westminster Baptist church to await
the resurrection of the just.
The subject of this sketch was born
in Abbeville county on October 7,
1878, and thus came to his grave full OF
years and like a shock of corn ripe
unto harvest, he was ready to be
garnered in. Mr.. Freeman was a
member of the Baptist church for. 60
years, having united with Mt. Bethel
church in Anderson county at the
age of 81 years. He served that
church as deacon until his removal
to Oconee county in the year 1878.
After coming to this county he con-
nected himself with the Walhalla
church and later on removed his
membership to the New Westminster
Baptist church, of which he was a
member at the time of his death.
He loved God and his church and
endeavored faithfully to discharge
the duties placed upon him both as
private member and deacon. He
served in the civil war as member of
Company G, Orr's Regiment. Mr..
Freeman was successful farmer in
Abbeville and Anderson counties
where most of his life was spent.
He continued to pursue his occu pa
tion as farmer in Oconec county until
he was compelled to quit on account
of sickness and old age. He married
Miss Mollie Shaw, of Abbeville, early
in life. She died on May 6, 1878.
His second wife, who survives him,
was Miss Lizzie Mitchell, of Ander-
son, sister of DR.. Burt Mitchell and
Mr.. Cobb Mitchell, of Westminster.
Mr.. Freeman was the father of
seventeen children, thirteen of whom
are living. His children reside in
the upper part of South Carolina,
in Georgia, Texas and Arkansas.
His eldest daughter, Mrs. Francis
Sailors, of Georgia, is now about Cd
years of age. AT his family reunion
three years ago Mr.. Freeman told
the writer that he did not know the
number of grand and great-grand-
children he had, but there were
probably one hundred or more.
Mr.. Freeman was a lifelong
Democrat and was with Gen. Hamp-
ton in the trying days of '76. 1t will
be seen that the two gentlemen died
at about the same age.

the members of the church will call

explosion completely wrecked tho mine.
Scores of miners were blown high in the

and the rescuers fear to approach too
close to the mine on account of the dense
smoke.

lor, one OF the rescuing party, who has
made many trips into the mine, is
confident That there are many more

Der of rooms have been entered and in
