Rev. w. H. Ariail had a very mar
row escape from serious injury In q
runaway scrape Saturday after
noon. He had started to the country,
accompanied by his little daughter,
Kathaline, to visit one Of his men,
bers and when opposite the home of
George Laurey, on Ebenezer avenue,
he noticed that his dog was following
the buggy and got out to run the an.
imal back home, leaving his little girl
in the buggy alone. The horse be-
came frightened and dashed off. Mr..
Ariail ran at once to the rescue Of his
child and grabbed the lines, but as he
did so he was struck by one Of the
wheels and knocked down. Two Of the
wheels passed over his body after he
fell to the ground; but he held on to
the lines until some one ran up and
stopped the horse. He received seve-
raj very painful bruises on the head
and face and was used up very rough
ly in general; but after having ply
sician to dress his wounds he con-
tinued his journey and filled his US
ual appointment at Adnah and Antioch
on Sunday.
Owing to the increase In the busi-
ness Of the Southern railway at this
place, the officials have been forced to
send a shifting engine here to do
regular work on the yards. The crew
Is in charge of Captain Dobson. They
went to work Monday morning and
they will very likely find work enough
to keep them busy all the time. The
shifting engine was removed from
here last summer because the Charles
ton division would not pay half the
expense Of keeping 1t here.
In the absence Of the pastor, Rev.
w. L. Lingle, who preached at Glenn
son college last Sunday, Rev. DR.. w.
M. McPheeters Of Columbia, filled the
pulpit at the First Presbyterian
church Sunday morning. DR.. Nc
Pheeters also preached at winthrop
college Sunday night.
The Dreamland Carnival people con-
cluded their engagement here Satur-
day night and left Sunday morning for
Walhalla, S. c., where they will ex-
hibit next. Great crowds visited the
show the last three days Of their stay
drinking on the grounds Friday and
Saturday, there was not a great deal
of rowdyism or disorder.
The mayor had to call down the
proprietors on one or two crooked"
games; but on the whole the carnival
was a success and the people seemed
to enjoy the occasion. Still there Is
a feeling Of relief since the show has
gone and everybody has got down TO
business again uninterrupted by the
beating Of drums, footing of tin horns
and the yelling Of those who cried the
wonderful and mysterious things to be
seen at the various tents and booths.
The negro held by Jas. A. Barber.
suspected of being the murderer OF Al
len Heathington, turned out to be the
wrong man. A deputy sheriff from
Colleton county, accompanied by a
white boy who worked at the mill
where the crime was committed, ar
rived in the city last Thursday night,
and were taken to the chaingang camp
by Mr.. Barber at once to see the ne
gro. After seeing the negro both the
officer and the boy said they were pos
tive he was not the right man, al
though the resemblance in part was
very striking.
