DARLINGTON BILL PLAYERS
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Team Going TO Mccall We're in
Wreck Near Lumber.

Bennettsville, Aug. i1.-There was
an accident on the Coast Line between
Robbins and Lumber about noon to
day which has probably cost the life Of
one young man and seriously injured
two more. The Darlington baseball
team was coming over on the acommo-
dation freight to play at Mccall.
Four of the boys were on top of the
and turned over. Geo. Williams, or
Thompson, was thrown forward on
top of the passenger car. The others
were dashed to the ground. William
Mclean of Cheraw was the most seri-
ously hurt His ankle and thigh
were broken, lower bowels torn and
a severe confusion caused over eye. J.
Whit Wilcox of Darlington had his leg
dislocated at the hip. The shoulder
of Fred Stem of Darlington was dislo-
Gated and his face bruised. Nobody
wasinside of the caboose.
One of the team, II. E. Rowe, Of
Hickory, N. c., medical student,
administered morpine to relieve the
boys suffering while the train was
bringing them to Bennettsville. Itwas
raining when the train reached here
and they were placed on a wagon and
brought to the Marlboro hotel in the
rain, umbrellas being held over them.
At the hotel several physicians dress
ed their wounds and set the broken
and dislocated limbs.
Mclean has not recovered from the
shock and there is little hope of his
recovery. He is to be taken to the
Coast Line Hospital at Rocky Mount,
if he recovers sufficiently. A special
train came over from Darlington this
afternoon bringing relatives Of the
boys, physicians and others.
Darlington, Aug. 12.-Fred Stem
and Whit Wilcox, the two members Of
the Darlington baseball team who
were injured in the terrible accident
that occurred between this place and
Bennettsville yesterday afternoon.
were brought over here last night On
special train Ind taken to their re-
spective homes. Both Of these young
men are doing as well as could be e1-
pected at this writing.
William Mclean of Cheraw, the
young man who was so badly injured,
could not be moved and was left In
the care Of physicians at the hotel in
Bennettsville, who thought his condi-
tion very critical. This morning the
good news came from Bennettsville
that he was much better, having rest
ed quietly during tte night.
A special train passed here at &
o'clock going over to Bennettsville to
take the unfortunate young man to
Sumter to be treated atsthe in6rmary-
The young mans friends at this place
hope for his recovery.
The accident will probably end base
ball at this place for the rest of the
season at least.

are being completed here for the re-

Arthur squadron. The departure of
the squadron from Port Arthur is gen.
orally interpreted to Indicate that the
siege of the fortress is entering on it's
final stage, as the programme has re-
peatedly been announced by the Assa-
ciated Press for the squadron to leave
as soon as the situation at Port Arthur
became desperate.
. It is believed that the purpose of the
Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rye
shitelni in going to Chefoo was to
notify Admiral Skrydlof Of the sortie
of the Port Arthur squadron in order

President ROosevelt's View of the Matter is
Certainly Commendable.

"The party man who offers his al
legiance to his party as an excuse for
blindly following his party, right or
wrong, and who fails to try to make
that party in any way better, commits
crime against the country.
"If we had no independence, we
should always be running the risk of
the most degraded kind of despotism-
the despotism of the party boss. y
Theodore Roosevelt in "American
Ideals.n
There you lave the eternal truth, no
matter what j. d Farrcll's petty, sci
fish whippersin may say. 1t was Il fore
gone conclusion that they would swing
the party lash, for they expect to profit
by exciting blind devotion to party,
fright or wrong Indeed, they and
the -cheming railroad interests with
which they are in league are the only
elements that can prof. by the spirit of
blind devotion to party wrong. The
great mass of our citizenship has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by
falling in with their false and vicious
doctrines. In this instance the people
would pay terrific price, including
the continued burden of excessive taxes,
with all that implies of diminished i'm
migration and investments: the con-
tipued payment of excessive tribute to
the railroads: the shameful debaScmcnt
of the public service in county and
state: the corruption of legislators, and
the perpetual control of great political
parties by selfish and unprincipled
men.
In this state there is only one ques-
ton for the patriotic republican to de-
termine: Has the party organization
in this state gone wrong?" II his Con-
science shall answer III the affirmative,
his duty is plain. President Roosevelt
has pointed the way. He must rebuke
the desperate party bosses who have
done the wrong.
Certainly no good republican owes
allcgiance to an organization which
has VIGOROUSLY chosen lifelong demo-
crat for its exactlng boss.-Sp0kesman
