Corelle, 1t Is now said, was a nurse
during the Boxer rebellion and won
the Stanislaus medal. During that war
she was wounded In the arm and re-
ceived the st. George medal because
she continued to work when her wound
was dressed. She is a remarkably
handsome woman Of twenty years
Of age. A young Russian officer fell
in love with the pretty nurse, who re-
ciprocated his affection fully. Re-
Gently this officer was among the miss
ing and II was believed he was wound
ed or a prisoner among the Japanese
In order to find him, 1t Is alleged, Miss
Corelle strolled from the Russian camp
and very cheerfIlly allowed some Chi
nese bandits to capture her. This was
about ten days ago. The next step IN
her scheme was to become q Japan
ese prisoner to reach their lines. The
bandits, 1t Is asserted, allowed her to
communicate with the French consul
at Newchwang, following which a de-
tail Of Japanese soldiers reached their
camp and Miss Corelle was taken to
Newchwang. She tried to secure per-
mission to go to Japan and search for
her lover, but the Japanese gave her
twenty-four hours in which to leave
the town, suspecting her Of being a
spy. The French consul at Chefoo is
now endeavoring to obtain permission
for Miss Corelle TO nurse the wounded
Russians in Japan.

THE c. & NV.

There was a rear end collision on
the Carolina and North Western rail-
road at Cliffs, two miles west Of Hick-
ory last Tuesday afternoon, at about 2
o'clock, and although nobody was kill
ed, several passengers were more or
less seriously injured, and escaped
narrowly with their lives. The roll
ing stock was badly damaged and II
was several hours before the wreckage
was cleared away.
Both trains, the northbound passen-
ger, in charge Of Conductor Ross and
Engineer Smyre, were bound for Le-
noir. The passenger train had been
unavoidably detained at Cliffs. and
the fagman had placed torpedoes to
warn the freight that was known to
be about due from the south. Most OF
the passengers, some thirty-five In
number, had gotten out during the de-
lay, and a moment or two after the
engineer had called in the flagman,
and while the passengers were return

behind.
Conductor Ross was among the first
to see the danger and running through
the cars he shouted to the startled
passengers to jump for their lives.
With the exception Of several who
were paralyzed by sense Of pending
danger, everybody scurried through
the doors and to the ground but be-
fore all the passengers got out, there
came a terrific crash, and the engine
that was pulling the freight stove 1t
self almost full length In the rear pas
senger car. The tender Of the passen-
ger engine was stove up and the en-
CINE was thrown from the track. All
OF the rolling stock between the two
engines was more or less damaged.
Most of the passengers and the
train crews escaped without injury;
but a few Of the passengers were less
fortunate. Mrs. Perry Of Lenoir, was
injured In the back; Mr.. ]. s. Lindau
Of Greensboro, was bruised on one leg,
and two negro passengers were shak-
en- up somewhat. Had 1t not been for

YELLOW fever has male its appear

be remembered that during their stay
in Cuba, the United States troops
banished the disease from the island
They not only ran 1t out Of Santiago
where it had held sway for centuries;
but from Havana also. Those cities
were thoroughly cleaned up, and the
cleaning accomplished the desired re-
suit. Now reports are coming from
Santiago to the effect that yellow fe'
yer is again making its appearance
because Of the filth that has been al
lowed to accumulate since the depart
ure of the American troops. The gov
eminent at Washington has made rep
resentations to the government OF
Cuba on the subject.

the fact that but few Of the passen-
gers had gotten to their seats before
the discovery Of the approaching
freight, the list Of dead would have
no doubt been a long one.
The freight train was In charge OF
Engineer Earnhardt and Conductor
Summerow. Conductor Summerow
jumped; but Engineer Earnhardt
stuck to his post, and escaped injury
by what seemed to be a miracle. He
claimed responsibility for the accident,
explaining that he lost control Of his
engine while coming down the grade,
and was unable to stop.
The injured passengers were taken
back to Hickory and properly cared
for. The work Of clearing the. wreck
age was not completed until the next
day; but the southbound train. which
should have passed orkville at about
7 y. m, went through at about 2
O'Clock Wednesday morning.

IF there are any opponents to the
state dispensary who have allowed
themselves 70 come to the conclusion
that this machine Is going to suffer
disintegration without fight 1t will
be just as well for them to go
about disabusing their minds Of all
such ideas. The dispensary is more
firmly established than they have
brought themselves to realize. There
is a perfect stream of dollars behind
the machine and the people who are
enjoying these .ollars are not going to
surrender peaceably. They have pre-
pared scheme after scheme for the
maintenance Of the liquor business as
now established, and in a political
fight between sentiment and dollars,
dollars are always hard to overcome.

BIBLE AND FLAG.

Yorkyille Council No. 48, Junior Or
der United American Mechanics, pre-
sented the York Cotton Mil school
with a Bible and flag yesterday after
noon in accordance with a well-estab-
lished custom of this order, and the
exercises were both interesting and
impressive. --....- vs..
Because everybody in the mill VII
la9e was desirous of participating In
the ceremonies, operation Of the mill
was suspended from u o'clock. noon,
until the hour for the night shift to
commence work, and the exercises
which took place at the school house.
were largely attended.
Mr.. John E. Carroll, vice councillor
presided as master Of ceremonies, and
turned over to ]. II. Witherspoon,
ESQ.,, !. handsome Bible and a regula-
ton L 1ited States flag, five feet wide
by ten feet long, and made Of finest
oaality bunting. In an appropriate
little speech Mr. Witherspoon describ-
ed the gifts as being symbolic OF Love
of GOD and Love Of Country, and turn
ed them over to w. w. Lewis. Esq,
president of the York Cotton Mill, who
accepted them in behalf OF the school.
Mr.. Lewis delivered an interesting
and thoughtful speech, taking as his
text the Bible and the flag. The one
he said; teaches US our duty to our
God and our fellowman. and loyalty
to the other is always a guarantee OF
that good citizenship which Is impos-
sfbIe without knowledge Of the first.
The speaker told his hearers that their
value to their country was to be meas
ured by the manner In which they
used their intelligence and their labor,
and the more child developed Its IN
telligence the more valuable It's labor
would become. He said that this great
country Of ours is no place for idlers;
that there Is honor and respect only
for workers, and: that every child VINO
goes through this school with proper
knowledge Of the Bible must necessa-
rily become a valuable citizen who
may always be relied upon to defend
and uphold the flag. -.Hi'' - ira
The exercises were concluded by
hosting the flag over the school build
ing. where its. folds were broken out
to the breeze to the music Of patriotic
songs by the members Of the Junior
Order United American Mechanics.

THE movement that has been inau-
gurated among the women Of South
Carolina for the establishment Of re-
formatory and industrial school for ju-
venile offenders is one that should COM
mand hea ty support. 1t is fact that
the penal machinery Of this state does
not make adequate provision for deal
ing with offenders Of this class. Young
white boys who commit serious Of
fenses against the laws are often al
lowed to go unpunished because Of a
reluctance to send them to the peni-
tentiary with hardened criminals, and
because their first offences are allow
ed to go unpunished they rapidly drift
from bad 10 worse. The experience OF
other states has proved the efficacy
of the juvenile reformatory idea, and
South Carolina should provide such an
establishment without further delay.

THE Spartanburg Journal and the
Columbia State are quarreling over
the question as to what the result
would have been had Hearst been
nominated instead Of Parker. The
Journal claims that Hearst would have
gotten at least 100000 more votes,
and would have carried several states
that Parker failed to carry. The
State declares that it is better pleased
with a defeated Parker than it would
have been with a victorious Hearst.
We are inclined to agree with the
State rather than with the Journal;
but really we are unable to see where
anything is to be gained by further
contention. Both Hearst and Parker
have been eliminated from the list of
possible nominees four years from
now, and speculation now as to what
will be best then is worse than idle.
