oFTIoNs REDEEMED.

OPTIONS REDEEMED.
The option on several very eligi-
ble sites for the development of we
ter power on Saluda river in the
neighborhood of Amick's ferry, were
closed by the purchase of the prop
srsy and paying spot cash for the
same. In the recent past over three
or four thousand dollars have been
paid to persons owning property
bordering on the river in that vicinity
While the titles to these properties
have been taken In the name of sin
gle individuals, yet it is generally IN.
derstood that these properties are
bought with q view of eventually
becoming part and parcel of the
plant Of the Lexington and Colum-
bia Electric Railway. While no.
wishing to be understood as speak,
ing authoritatively, yet we cannot but
help expressing the opinion that tie
building of this road is now Ger
sanity, and that the road will not
stop at this place but will be ex
tended to Saluda Court House and
from thence to Greenwood, taking
the route already suggested by the
Dispatch some years ago. All the
movements of the projectors of the
enterprise point in this direction at
least and this conclusion is entirely
reasonable. There is no question
about this route being the most
practicable one that could possible
be adopted. The country through
which it passes is already sufficiently
developed as to give assurance that
Che road will be paying investment
from the very beginning. The peo-
pie in that section, so we understood
are favorably disposed toward the en-
serprise and are willing to contribute
liberslly toward its construction
should they be given reasonable as.
surance that the road will be extend
ed through their section. In the pur-
chase of these water power proper
ties this assurance has been amply
and satisfactorily given.
The building of the Lexington and
Columbia Electric Railway means a
great deal for Saluda, Lexington and
Columbia-more so, perhaps, than is
shought by the general public. To
Columbia. beside other advantages
too obvious to mention, it means
vsst increase in the volume of it's
business, the amount of which is al
most inconceivable at this writing; to
Lexington it means the development
of her inexhaustable water powers
and the establishment of cotton fac
tories and other manufacturing en-.
terprises of various kinds, and to
Saluda the opening up of transpor-
sion facilities to the capital city
where all the conveniences of modern
traffic and CONT erce can be had by
those people VINO are now bottled up
by reason of a lack of transportation
facilities to cheaply move the pro-
ducts of it's people. These, OF course,
are only a few of tie advantages
which will accrue to the sections Of
country through which this contem-
plate d road is to be built, but they
clearly demonstrate the great posi-
silities in the development of our
resources, the accomplishment of
which will m ske Us the most pro-
gressive, the most prosperous, the
wealthiest and the happiest people
o. earth.

Solemn Jewish Custom TO be
Observed.
The Occasion Is Celebrated, Beginning
Tomorrow, All Over the
World.
SOME OF THE CEREMONIES

The Jewish feast of the Passover
and Easter fall this year upon the
same date, April IL. The ceremonies
attending the Passover being less gen.
orally known, are of special interest.
Passover begins at 6 O'Clock tomorrow
evening.
There are many ancient ceremonies
still observed in celebrating the Pass
over festival The occurrences men
toned in connection with the bondage
of the Israelites and their departure
from Egypt, as narrated in the bible,
are perpetuated by ancient rites which
date back to the dispersion of the
Jews and to the time when they
ceased TO have national existence.
The Observance of the Passover fes-
tival entails many obligations upon
the pious Israelite. Attendance at the
synagogue service and the prayers said
in the family circle are not the only
act of devotion required by the reli-
gious authorities. The worshipper is
expected TO follow many biblical and
rabbinical commands even in his pre-.
paration for the festival. Many Of the
most interesting Of these ceremonies
are not in the synagogue service. but
are observed by the members Of the
household only in the privacy Of their
homes. Each Of them bears a greater
or lesser significance in keeping alive
every detail concerning the history Of
the Passover.
On the evening preceding the eve Of
Passover an interesting ceremony is
observed by the very pious, which is
highly characteristic Of the conscien-
tious endeavor OF the strict Hebrew TO
observe literally the com mandment
that there shall not he.any bread or

looked in the general cleaning. He
examines every closet and every nook
and corner thereof, gathering any
thing that he finds suspicious or de-
cidealy haven. This he burns the
next morning, and before the noon
hour.
The synagogue services in the ortho-
dox and reformed places Of worship
are not marked by any ceremonial
observances different from those Of
the regular Sabbath services, and
many visitors of other creeds are dis
appointed when they ask at the differ
ent synsgogues and temples ut what
hour the lamb will be sacrificed and
are informed that no such rites are
observed.

Freight Cars Backed Into q
Street Car Yesterday.
Several Passengers Hurt But None of
Them Serious
ly.
ACCOUNTS ARE CONFLICTING

Street car No. so, in charge of Mo-
torman Luther Knowles, on the Broad
way line, and q string of nine bad or.
der" freight cars on the Illinois Cen.
trial, collided at the Eleventh and
Broadway intersection yesterday af-
ternoon about $3.50 O'Clock and pain.
fully injured several people, but none
seriously.
The cause of the accident is not
clear, as the motorman blames the IL.
linois Central men and they blame the
motorman.
According to the motormsn he was
on his way to the city with several
passengers. and the switch engine had
hold of the cars. He stopped before
he yesched the tracks, as usual, and
when the train passed and stopped he
received the signal to go ahead from
both a switchman on one side of the
car and the fiagman on the other, he
declares, but about the time he crossed
the first track the switch engine on
the other started backing and struck
him after his car had gone about TWEEN
ty feet from where it first stopped.
The passengers. who would proba-
bly, have escaped injury had they not
attempted to get out Of the car, rushed
pell NELL towards the doors, and one
or two were painfully injured.
Mr.. W. T. Howell and wife and
baby Of Savannah, Tenn, Miss Floyd
Pendley, daughter of DR.. ]. W. Pend.
ley. Miss Finley of West Broadway,
and Messrs. Robert Rivers. II. @. Bro.
naugh, W. L. Hsnsbro and Tom San
ders who were returning from Wallace
park, were aboard. Mr. Howell, who
is stopping at the Palmer House, was
on the rear platform, and had a hand
painfully cut. His wife and baby in
side escaped injury.
DIR. Rivers had an ankle sprained
and Mr.. Bronaugh had his face slight
ly skinned. Miss Finley had hand
cut.
The train seems to have hit the car
and after crushing its side left it lean
ing, breaking out the glass in the win
dows and damaging it otherwise.
When the engineer saw the accident
and pulled up, the car fell back to its
natural position.
The railroad men claim that the
motorman simply attempted to cross
the track and save delay despite warn.
ings, and declare that the train was
not bscking at the time the car was
struck. Their explanation is that the
cars momentum carried them togeth-
err when the engine stopped, and that
a few moments later, when the slack
was let out, the cars rebounded back
ward and coliided with the street car.
They say that the throttle of the en-
gine had not been touched since shut
of when the car was struck, and that
the train was not moving with the ex-
ception of the customary slack.
The engine of the train was 747, in
charge of Foreman A. J. Rays, Engi-
neer Kent Williams and Fireman
Webb. The track on which the train
was switching was not the first the
car had to cross.
Miss Pendley was half way through
a window when rescued by some of
the gentlemen, but escaped serious in
jury.
Superintendent Thompson Of the
street Car company stated today that
he had made an investigation ana sew
eral present say that the motorman
had the signal to start anesd.
