Freight Wreck on 8. U. d. c.

On last Molday about one O'Clock as
the second section of the through freight
train was coming down that grade near
the county poor house, running at a
rapid rate of speed, SIX coal cars were
derailed, five "f 'hese cars were COM
pletely tori ii,iU splinters, coal scattered
right alo left. The cause of the run off
is not known, but 1t is supposed that the
train was running at rapid rate and
struck d rough place in the rail and
caused the cars to jump the track
About one hundred and fifty feet of the
track was completely torn up.
Two young men, M. l.. Willard ard
Frank Cantrell, were riding on top of
the coal cars and were thrown off on the
side OF the cut. Both were bruised COLI
siderably, not serious. 1t seems a mira
Gle how they escaped death. Willard
was caught under car and came near
losing his life. Both were brought to
Union where DR.. Hamilton dressed their
wounds.
The train from Columbia WAS DELAYED
here until 8 p. m, where 1t met the o D.
m. train from Spartanburg and trans
ferred the passengers, etc. A track was
built around the wreck by 10 O'Clock the
next morning.

Not His Intention to Stay in White

his friends His idea now IS 70 spend
at Oyster Bay the greater part OF the
time intervening between the Republi-

The intention of the President now is
70 leave for Oyster Bay soon after the
National Convention. He viii remain
there until September. He viii return
to Washington in September and will
remain two or three weeks. He will
then go back to Oyster Bay and will
stay there through October Shortly be-
fore election he will come back TO Wash
ington in order TO be convenient of ac-
cess to the campaign leaders, who may
wish to consult him. On election day
he will follow his usual custom and
make a hasty trip to Oyster Bay to
vote
II was published a short time ago that
the President had determined to spend
most OF his summer here In order TO be
on hand to receive the crowds, speak
to them and otherwise enthuse them.
From sources so close TO the President
as to leave no doubt as to correctness,
it IS learned that this program is not
likely to be carried out

others had been placed in the classified
