Killed by q Train.

The North correspondent to the
State says an unknown mulatto ne-
gro was struck by northbound freight
No. 4 on the Seaboard Air Line rail
way Tuesday afternoon about 3.3O
O'Clock and Instantly killed. The
dead man was about 40 years Of age
and is thought by a resident witness
to be named Jesse Williams, which
name, however, is family recalled.
From the coroner's inquest, held by
Magistrate W. A. Johnson, it seems
that the negro got off OF Tuesdays
midday passenger train and was con-
siderably under the influence OF Whis-
key. After lounging around the depot
awhile he went off down the railroad
and was seated on the north end OF
North Edisto trestle about two miles
south of that place where he met his
death as stated. Evidently he was
drunk or asleep or both.

RUSSIAN AssAssINATIONs.
The Fearful Death Of the Emperor
AL Xander-

The record Of recent assassinations
IN Russia Is a remark BILE one. Oa
March l3, 1881, Emperor Alexander IL
was slain in manner similar to that
Of Minister Plehve. On April 16 1902,
NJ. Sipiaginne, the predecessor of NJ.
PAlehve, wss assassinated by student
named Balmaschoff. A little more than:
month ago, on June is, Gen. Bobre-s
koft was .ille1 by a Finish patriot.
Emperor Alexander had escaped re-
peated attempts on his life, in one
Of which the guard room Ct the Winter
palace was blown up before be was
finally assassinatd. BE had attended
a ceremony 10 hoaor OF Rassians regi.
ment On Sunday, and was returning TO
his palace in a sleigh after luncheon
at the home Of a relative. As he was
passing by the Catherine canal nihi-
list threw bomb which exploded be-
hind the vehicle and killed two Coa-s
sacks. The emperor alighted and was
speaking to the bomb thrower when a
second missils exploded at his feet and
tore off both CT the legs OF the emperor
below the knees and injured him In
other ways. Several persons were kill
ed outright, and the bomb tilrowef
was injured in a manner similar to the
emperor. So many Of the emperor's
escort were hurt that it was some time
before aid was given to him, and then
he was driven to bis palace in sleigh,
his injured legs being held higher than,
his head, but no further effort to
staunch the flow Of blood being made.
His death followed in a few hours.
The man who threw the bomb also
died. Four other men and two women
were convicted Of participation In the
crime, and all save one woman were
executed, she icing imprisoned for
life. The Emperor Alexander's assass.
ination was in the same year as that

AFFECTIONS OF HOME.

II ever household affections and
loves are gracious things, they are
graceful in the poor. The ties that
bind the wealthy and the proud to
home, may be forged on earth, but
those which link the poor man to his
humble hearth, are CT the true metal,
and bear the stamp Of heaven. The
man Of high descent may love the
halls and lands Of his Inheritance as a
part of himself, as trophies OF his
birth and power; the poor mans at
tachment to the tenement he holds,
which strangers have held before, and
may tomorrow occupy again, has a
.worthier root, struck deep into a purer
soil. His household gods of flesh and
blood, with no alloy Of silver, gold or
precious stones; be has no property
but in the affections Of his own heart:
and when they endear bare floor and
walls, despite Of toil and scanty meals,
that man has his love OF home from
God, and lis rude hut becomes a
solemn place.

NEW FNEMY OF COTTON.
Report of Fungus Growth on the
Weed in this State.

The Columbia Record says reports
have heen r,c:ived from Greenville
and Liurens county OF a sort OF blight
which is de troyirg ths cotton to a
considerable extent. The blight ap.
pears to be srrt OF rust, attacking
Ghe young leaves and causing them in
few days to turn brown aad die.
Section Director Bauer when asked
about the new enemy said t1at it was
probably a sort Of fungus growth
which is sort of blight. There has
sesn little so far in thi; state excep.
in the sea island districts several years
go and when it was found that it was
contagious and it was killed out by
letting the ground alone for a few
seasons. While be had not received
enough information about it to speak
authoritatively he die not think it
would do much damage now, that the
;rop was 50 far advanced. Here Is
ghat the Greenville News says OF 1t:
cotton plants In the fields extend
i1g a!Cng the Augusta road, from this
;itg almost as far as Princeton, in
Laurens county. have been attacked
oy some kind of blight which resem-
,les rust. but which appears to be far
more perDlciops and baneful in its
fleets, than either rust or what IS
usually know, as blight. In fact none
# the plant rs, familiar with the va
riOus diseases to which the cotton
plant in this section is heir, has the
east idea what this new enemy can
De. 1t attacks the tender leaves, and
in e few days they turn brown, wilt
and die. The boil is not attcked and
the new scourge is evidently net the
celeb ated and greatly dreaded wee
vii. First, small spots appear en- the
under side OF the leaf. They grow
thicker rapidly, as though innumera-
BILE little insects were feeding On the
urface, and soon the entire leaf is
brown and dead. It is not devoured
by the insect, or whatever the cluse
# the destruction may be, but seem
rather to be poisoned. "Several
farmers were In the city Wednesday
from the affected area, and one OF
them exhibited two stalks Of cotton
which bad b, en- attacked by the pest.
Many OF the leaves were dead and
Others were becoming yellow and
brown. The loss OF the leaves was
beginning to tell on the bolls and Tie
plant generally which had been greatly
Injured in tie process Of develop
men5."
The Times and Democrat reported
this diseaseas having appeared in Or
angeburg County several weeks ago,
and expressed an opinion that it was
what Is called the wilt"

THE WIFE.
All day, like some sweet bird, con+ent to sing
In its small cage, she moveth to al d fro
And ever and anon Will upward spring
70 hers lips, fresh from the font below,
The murmurd melody Of pleasant thought,
Unconscious utterd geutle-toned and low
Light household duties evermore inwrousht
With placid fancies of one trusting heart
That lives out in her smile and turns
From life's cold seeming at the busy mart,
With tenderness, that heavenward ever yearns
To be refresh'd where one pure altar burns
Shut out from hence the mockery OF life,
Thus lireth she content, the meek, fond,
trusting wife.

Parents do wrong in keeping their
children hanging around homo 10 idle
ness and sheltered and eneryated by
parental Indulgence. The eagle does
better. 1t stirs up its nest when the
young eagles are able to fly. They are
compelled to Sh fl for themselves for
the old eagle literally turns them out
and at the same time tears all the
down and feathers from the nest.
'Tis this rude and rough experience
that makes the king of birds so fear
less in his fight and so expert in hi
pursuit Of prey. 1tisa misfortune to
be born with a silver spoon in your
mnuuh. Riches often hang like a
milestone about the necks Ct ambi-
toius young people.
With many Of US cur parents have
lived their allotted time OF three score
years and ten, but if we still have
them in the family circle how highly
we should appreciate them. The
snow Of winter comes and sheds it's
white blessings upon the valley and
the mountains, but soon the sweet
spring comes and smiles it all away.
Not 50 with that upon the brow Of
tottering age. There is no spring
whose warmth can penetrate its eter-
nal frost. It came to stay. It's single
fakes fell unnoticed, but now they are
drilled there. We shall see it increase
until the summons is heard to come
up higher. Welcome the snow, for it
is the emblem of peace and rest. 1t
is but temporal crown which shall
fall at the gates Of paradise, to be re-
placed by brighter and better.
