GREETED THE CARDINAL.
Bishop Monaghan Of Wilmington. Former
Iy Rector Of ST. Patrick's Church.
Charleston, Was in the Party.

The first prelate to welcome upon his
return to the United States the first
American cardinal who ever parici-
pated in conclave for the election of
a Pope, was Bishop Monaghan of Will
mington, Del, who headed delega-
tion of priests which met Cardinal
Gibbons at the steamship pier in
New York, upon the arrival of his
eminence on the steamer Kaiser Will
helm der Grose on Tuesday.
Bishop Monaghan was for number
of years rector of st. Patrick's church
in this city, and was elevated to the
bishopric of Wilmington several years
ago from that charge. He was much
beloved in Charleston, and had hun
dreds of friends and admirers within
and without his communion.
The New York Herald of Wednesday
published a picture of the group which
met the cardinal, showing Bishop
Monaghan standing next to his emin-
ence.-Cbarleston Post.

Columbia, Sept. Ex-Governor Hey
ward today pardoned Sam Southwall
and Titus Wright, convicted for burg
larry, and sentenced to life imprison-
ment under the old law which fixed
the minimum punishment for this
crime at life imprisonment. South
wall was convicted at the February
term of Court, 1882, in Barnwell
County, and Titus Wright was con-
victed in Colleton County in 1888 for
the same crime. Both of the men have
been in the Penitentiary for over
twenty years and, after considering
the applications for clemency, Cover
nor Heyward decided today to grant
pardons.

MAGNOLIA NEWS NOTES.

Magnolia, Sept. 25.-This writer
has never before seen such a rush in
gathering cotton from the fields and
getting it to the gin and thence to the
market. The gins are flying all day
and part Of the nights and yet can
not near keep up. Dozens of wagons
are all day around the gin house,
waiting for their turn to unload. so
great is the rush. The farmers, this
year, are trying to profit by past ex-
periences, with very few stubborn
exceptions. | have never seen cotton
picked out and put On the market as
fast. Yesterday l16 bales changed
hands at this place, and sold at an
average Of 10 cents a pound. Today
it is selling here at 934 cents. Two
thirds of the cotton is out. This. no
doubt, accounts for the downward ten
dency OF the market: though there's
half dozen plausible reasons as
signed.
The harvesting Of the nay and pea
vines crop is now being pushed. for
which the weather isssfavorable. Some
seem to be waiting for bad weather to
start. The hay crop is poor, as a
general thing, but the peavine crop is
plentiful, according to this writer's
observation.
The sick ones are little improved.
Our community is to be congratulated
on having two such skillful physicians,
as Drs. Darby and Tarrant. They are
both up-to-date physicians.
BY the way, this writer vas little
remiss in not reporting the marriage
of Mr.. Charlie Sessions to Miss Lula
Welch of Lynchburg, On last Sunday,
and although our congratulations may
seem little stale, at this date, never
theless, they sincerely have them.

ANOTHER FATAL TRAIN wreck.
Southern Railways Mail Flyer yt-
teFIy Demolished.
Nine Men Were Killed and Every
Person on the Train Injured.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 27.-While
running at a high rate Of speed No. 81,
the Southern railways southbound
fast mail train, Jumped from a trestle
rs feet high, halfa mi'e north of Dan
vile, Va, this afternoon at $50
O'Clock and was almost demolished.
OF the crew of 16 men on the train,
nine were killed and seven injured.
All Of the injured men are seriously
hurt and have been carried to the
hospital in Danville. The recovery
of Mail Clerk Spiers is not expected,
and other clerks are thought to have re-
ceived mortal injuries.
The trestle where the accident oc-
Cured is 500 feet long and is located on
a sharp curve. Engineer Broadly
was new man on that division Of
the Southern and it is said that he
came to the curve at very high rate
of speed.
The engine had gone only about so
feet on the trestle when it sprang from
the track carrying with it four mail
cars and an express car. The trestle,
a wooden structure, also gave way for
a space Of so feet.
At the foot of the trestle is a shall
low branch with a rocky bottom.
Striking this the engine and the cars
were reduced to mass of twisted iron
and steel and pieces of splintered wood.
As the cars went down they touched
the sides of the Riverside cotton mills,
which is very close to the trestle.
All of the dead men were killed in
stantIy it is thought, and all were
greatly Dutilated. The skin and hair
on the engineer and fireman we're torn
off by the impact of the steam from
the engine.
2 Allunoficia1 opinions that have been
ascertained agree in giving only one
cause for the wreck-the high speed
of the train on the sharp curve. No.
81 was running about an hour behind
time. It is thought that the engineer
being unfamiliar with the road, did
not take into consideration the danger
of coming on the curve with such
great velocity.

! Texas crop Badly Hurt.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 2T.-The Post
tomorrow publishes report showing
that great damage has been done to
cotton over the State By the boil
weeyii, the boil worm, the sharpshoot-
er and dry weather. The estimate of
the probable crop, based on the reports
from country correspondents, is placed
at 2.5o0s 600, provided that there is a
late. frost. The popular estimate six
weeks ago was G, ,00G, 600 bales. The
reports of insect damage come from
SO counties. About dozen counties
report good crop prospect, but these
are mostly from producers. It is stat
ed that there is absolutely no chance
for stop 'or second crop.

Pisga1 News and Comment.

Pisgah, Sept. 29.-There is no pres
sure to get cotton picked this year.
The pickers keep up with it, without
any trouble. The farmers, poor fell
lows, who have to take other peoples
prices for all, they have to sell are so
elated to get 10 cents for cotton, that
they have sold as fast as they gathered
it. This has been a remarkble year
in seasons, and the crop cost at least
twice to make it, what it did last year.
So at 10 cents it will not be any
money for the producers.
am glad to hear that Hon. E. D..
Smith has entered the field for farm
ers' rights, and hope he will continue
in the ogod work Let others do like
wise. Ben Tillman aroused the mass
es in 1890 to sense Of their political
rights, against the court house rings
and methods, and if the banks and
stores would come to the aid OF the
farmer his crops would not be sold at
loss each year to him. Notes are
payable in the Fail, from October lst
to November. This causes the cotton
to be rushed on the market in short
time, to meet these obligations, and a
glutted market which always brings
lower prices than would prevail is the
result. Let notes be made payable
during the Fall and Winter months,
then the crop can be gradually thrown
on the market and good prices realized
as it was before the war. Old folks say
there vas about as much cotton sold
in the Winter and Spring before the
war as there was in the Fall. Now it
is nearly all sold in the Fall and the
speculator and others get the profits
Any sane man knows that this is not
asshealthy financial satte of affairs by
any means, and the sooner it is cor
rected the better for the country.
Mr.. Horace Hardy is building neat
dwelling house on the old Stephen
Burket place, which he now owns.

Mr.. Cal Robinson.
There is no news of any Importance
at this time. / hear of a few mar
riages to take place soon, but that
only concerns the contracting parties.
We are so quiet and peaceable here in
the disputed territory, that scarcely a
sound is heard, except the whistles of
the engines When death occurs it
is hardly even known to more than a
few. It is too much trouble to send
notices around.
Pea vines and hay are being cut.
The hay crop is fairly good, but peas
are poor. The hot week in August
settled their hash for fine crop. as it
did other crops.

train was routed via Bennettsville
where it picked up thirteen additional
cars of cotton and from that point it
went straight through to New York
over the A. G. L. and Pennsylvania
lines.
It is not often that cotton is shipped
by the solid train loadand the charter
ing of special train is still more
infrequent occurrence. AS stated this is
the first instance in which a special
train loaded with cotton has ever been
sent out from Su,nter.
