Caused a Panic.

AT New York ia a panic among the
passengers in a Brooklyn car on the
Fulton street line Friday nine persons
received severe injuries, most Of them
requiring attention Of physicians.
The panic was caused by the blowing
out Of fuse while the car was running
at high rate Of speed. The front
platform and forward part Of the car
were at once enveloped in flames, and
the passengers made frantic efforts to
escape. Many jumped, others were
pushed Off the car and others fell and
were trampled on before the the car
could be stopped. Nearly every pas
senger suffered some injury. Mrs.
Julia Calman, "a years old, with a
six months old baby in her arms, was
pushed from the car and received a
fractured skull, a broken ankle and
severe conclusions OF the body. The
baby was unhurt and was found asleep
in the mothers arms, by an ambulance
physician.

No Cause for Alarm.

The State says Mr.. Kert Berle, the
United States Civil engineer and ar
chitect, has about completed his ex-
animation Of the capitol dome and ex-
poets to leave for Washington Wed
nesday. lie will report to the cover
nor from there next week. Mr.. Eerle
would not say whether he would re-
port the building safe or unsafe, but
that does not signify that from the
examinations and Investigations he
has made so far that it is or Is no6. 1t
merely means that he is guarded in
expressing himself before he reports
formally to the governor. He did say,
however, that there was no cause for
immediate alarm. He Is said to have
expressed the opinion that the new
work is shoddy by comparison with
the old. Whether this will be brought
out in the report, however, cannot be
said

Killed II Tyrant.

Gen. BobrikoiT, governor general Of
Finland, was shot and mortally
wounded at | o'clock Thursday morn
ing at the entrance to the Finnish
senate at Hclsingfors. The assassin,
man named Schaumann, a son OF
Senator Schaumann, Immediately
committed suicide. BobrikoiI was
shot in the stomach and ncck, three
shots being fired, cne Of which inilict-
ed a serious wound The attack is
ascribed to Finnish patriotism. The
last recorded act Of Gen. Bobrikotf
was in March of this year, when he
issued proclamation forbiddng tlc
people to darken their windows at
unusual hours" People who chose
to go to bed before 10 o'clock at night
were subject to heavy fines. This
step was due to the neglect OF the
Films to illuminate their houses in
, honor OF the beginning Of the wal

Well Worth Seeing.

One Of the most interesting ex-
hibits among the many OF all kinds
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
in st. Louis is that OF the Winchester
Repeating Arms Company, Of New
Haven, Conn, manufacturers Of re-
peating rifles and shotguns and all
kinds Of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on
the first day Of the fair, fact that
clearly illustrates the enterprise and
up-to-date methods OF the company
behind it. 1t is the aim OF the Win
chester Repeating Arms Company to
show at their exhibit the high develop
ment which they have reached in the
making OF guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to see the exhibit TO
realize how near to perfection that
development has come. There can
be seen the new automatic repeating
rifle all kinds Of shotguns, the modern
smokeless powder shotgun shells and
rifle cartridges; in fact everything
that can interest the devotees Of hunt
ing and trap and ira and target shoot
ing Don't fail to see the exhibit
at the Manufacturers and Fish and
Game Buildings. It's we'll worth

1t Was Brutal Murder.

The State says Nathan Truesdale,

Saluda on Wednesday for Sion Miller,
Joe Miller and Russell Mccormick.
Thursday the Millers and Mccormick
surrendered themselves to the sheriff

the report cannot be confirmed. The
home Of the Miller boys Is not far
from where the homicide occurred,
while Mccormick halls from Lexing-

MANY CHILDREN VICTIMS

One Of the most appalling disasters
in the history of New York, tragic
In its immensity, dramatic in it's
episodes and deeply pathetic in the
tender age Of most Of the victims,
took place Wednesday in the East
river at the entrance to Long Island
sound, within a short distance Of the
New York shore and within sight OF
thousands of persons, the majority Of
whom were powerless to minimize the
extent of the catastrophe.
BY the burning to the waters edge
OF the Gen. Slocum, three-decked ex-
cursion steamer. the largest in these
waters, more than 600 persons, the
majority Of whom we're women and
children, were burned to death or
drowned by jumping overheard or by
being thrown into the whirlpool by
the lurching Of the vessel and the
frantic rush Of the panic-Stricken
passengers.
1t is the season Of Sunday school
excursions in New York bay and Long
Island sound, the latter one OF the
most picturesque bodies OF wal or In
the country. Great preparations had
been made for the 18th annual eXcur-
sion of the Sunday school Of St. M ark S

The vessel was practically new, hav-
ing been built only three years ago,
and was valued at s12, 900. 1t was In
sured for only $4,000, with J. Fl.
Boatwright & Son at Wilmington, N.
G. Although the telegram says total
loss," Manager Love is Of the opinion
that much Of the machinery may be
saved. The loss falls heavily on Mr..
Love-h he and not the Chamber of
Commerce being the owner.
THE Highlander was the first and
only boat on the line the Chamber Of
Commerce instituted this spring to
give Columbia water connection with
the coast. The business has steadily
increased since the first trips, and ar
rangements had Just been made for
hauling cotton, which would greatly
relieve the situation and for which
the Chamber Of Commerce had been
working for several months. just
what steps will be taken to put an.
other boat in commission on the river
cannot be said at this time, but there
Is no doubt but that this will be done
as quickly as the Chamber Of Com
merce can make the arrangements"

Negro cotton Min Failed.

The Columbia State says: 1.-THE
Wilmington Messenger calls our at
tention to the fact that the defunct
Coleman cotton mill, the failure OF
which was lately noted In these
columns, was not only operated but
owned and managed by negroes. In
that case we do not think that the
evidence OF the negro's failure as a
cotton mill hand was as conclusive as
in the case Of the Charleston mill,
which was financed by white capital
and managed by skilled white cotton
mill men. The case Of the Coleman
mill is, however, equally interesting
in another way"

TIE Week ending 8 a. m., June 13,

which isabout 4 below normal due to
nearly normal temperatures during
the first four days and abnormally
cool weather during the last three.
The cool weather was accompanied by
fresh TO brisk northeast, winds and
unusually low relative humidity. The
sunshine was normal In places and be-
low in others. i

had from one TO over two inches of

very low and many wells are falling

A destructive wind and hail storm
passed through Plckens county; the
track Of the hail storm was about half
mile wide and all CROPS In this path
were destroyed There were also
damaging wind storms in Spartan
burg and Sumter counties, and hail
occurred at various places in the
northern and northeastern counties,
doing some damage to crops.
The weather was generally favora-
BILE for cultivation Of field crops, but
with large areas where the ground
: roo wet to work and where fields
have become foul. AS rule, corn,
cotton. tobacco, rice and minor crops
are clean and we'll cultivated, and
have made marked improvement dur
ing the last week.
Corn made steady improvement in
all parts Of the State, and, although
small, Is growing nicely and has q
healthy color. Earliest corn is being
laid by.
With few and unimportant excep.
tions, cotton has now attained full
stands, although somewhat irregular
ones as to size. The plants are small
for the season, but have good color
and are growing nicely. Lice are re-
Ported from Abbeville county. Squares
have been reported from nearly al
sections, and few blooms have been
noted in Orangeburg county. Ir
places fields are becoming foul. Sea
island cotton shared in the genera
improvement, and now has full bu1
irregular stands and good color.
Tobacco improved and is beinl
"primed." Rice planting continue!
and she crop is making satisfactory
growth. Wheat and oat harvest il
nearing competitions; the yields o
wheat are best in the extreme west

oats show some Improvement. Botl
grains have been housed in good con
