The Marlboro democrat. [volume] (Bennettsville, S.C.) 1882-1908, 1904-08-12

The North correspondent to the
State says an unknown mula.to ne
gro was struck by northbound freight
No. on the Seaboard Air Line rail
way Tuesday afternoon about 30
O'Clock and instantly killed. The
dead man was about 40 years OF age
and is thought by resident witness
to he named Jesse Williams, which
name, however, is family recalled.
From the coroners inquest, held by
Magistrate w. A. Johnson, it seems
that the negro got off Of Tuesdays IS
midday passenger train and was con
Siderably under the influence of whis-
key. After lounging around the depot
awhile he went of 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 rs stated. Evidently he was
drunk or asleep or both.

"A Good Match,

Ii is told OF Mr.. Fairbanks, the Re-
publican nominee for vice president
in fact 1t is said Mr.. Fairbanks is tell
ing ii himself that Il negro laborer
employed by the father OF this Indi.
ana lawyer, took his meals with the
family. t is further recounted in
the public prints and also by Mr..
Fairbanks, it is said, that when a
white latorer employed on the same
place objected TO taking his meals
with the negro, separate table was
provided, but not for the negro. He
remained seated at the Fairbanks
board with the big and little, male
and female Fairbankscs while tho
white laborer sat apart. So, OF course,
it Is meet and proper that Charles w.
Fairbanks reared in that redolent at
mcsphere should be the running mate
of Theodore Roosevelt State.

Two Journeys.

Two Journeys.
II go on q journey far away"
She sa'd-she stopped and kissed me
then,
"Over the ocean for many day
Coed bye" and she kissed me once
again.
But only few short months had fed
When again answered my wife's
kiss;
ST could not tarry away" she said:
this"
Again stood by my dear wife's side.
II go on a journey, sweet, to-day;
Ov the river he >boatmen glide
Goodbye; l shall linger long away"
"Ah, she will come back soon, l know }"
said, as she stopped for the parting
kiss;
She cannot tarry, She told me so;
There is never land so fair as this"
But many month and many year
Have flown since my darling went
away,
Will she never come back to meet me
here?
Has she found the region of perfect
day?
Over the ocean she went and came;
Over the river, and fingers there!
Oh, rallid boatman! call my name
show me the region so wonderous
fair.

Waterspout Was Seen.

a dispatch from Charleston to The
state says large waterspout was seen
at sea late Thursday afternoon. The
great mass OF water, in state OF con.
tinual revolution and swayed by the
WIND, presented an inspiring picture,
and the spectators marveled at the
phenomenon. The shaft seemed to
reach from the sea to the sky, being
large at the base, narrowing In the
centre and then broadening forwards
The apex. The column OF water mov-
ed rapidly and was dissipated when 1T
struck a fringe of woods on Morris
Island. There was no shipping In the
course OF the spout else damage would
have been none.

a Good Substitute.

Il elected to the legislature an An
dcrson county man proposes to intro
duce bill providing that negro anc
white convicts shall not be allowed tC
work together. The State offers as a
substitute bill prohibiting white
woman and girls, who are not con.
victs, from working in the fields with
negro men; also prohibiting white
women and girls, not convicts, from
cooking for and serving meals to negro
farm laborers. Let us consider the
woman who should be shielded but
who are not shielded by their men,
before we give thought to the SEN
sitiveness OF the white criminal in
stripes.
