his article With the statement that the

city with electric lights, according to
the statement of their local agent,
and the bids for the wiring are now
out and as soon as they are received
the contract will be awarded. The

"As soon as the bids come in and
the contract is awarded the work will
be started All the wiring is to be

According to the agent a big arc
light will be placed right in front of

but he said that the company wanted
it done as soon as possible.

GROWTH OF
THIS CHURCH
WAS RAPID.
Grace English Lutheran Church
Now has Eighty-One COmmuni-
Cants Large Sunday School.
PASTOR KEULINC'S WORK

Grace English Lutheran church held
congregational meeting on Thursday
night at the home of Mr.. @. F. Welk-
er. Very encouraging reports were
made by the various activities OF the
church, showing steady and healthy
growth. This new missi IN has just
ended the frst year of its existence,
and has now membership of eighty
one communicate members and liz
scholars in the Sunday school, while

tions preparatory TO Joining.

on which has been paid $1,000 since
last August. The Ladies Aid has
raised $133 and the Sewing Society
$50. rs.
The pastor, Rev. E. j. Keuling has
been no less active. Since last May
when he took active charge, he has
preached every sermon, and has not
been absent from anv service. He has
not only faithfully visited the sick
the distressed, and called upon those
who expressed desire to join the
church, to say nothing of the many
calls he has made upon the unchurch-
ed, to endeavor to change their mode
of living and unite them with the
body of Christ, but he has made more
than one Thousand calls upon the
families of the congregation. This
has cost great amount of time and
nervous energy, but he feels amply
repaid.

lnr, Joseph Reilly. and O. f. Welkei
were elected deacons to serve two
years. Installation of the church
council will take place at the evening
service at Z. 30 tomorrow.

MANGLED BODY FOUND
ALONG CENTRAL TRACKS
EARLY THIS MORNING.
Coroner anes Notified and Body is Now at Undertaking Estah-
ishmen of T. F. Burke-Ihe Man Has Been Identified
Leaves Family Many Men Visited the MOrgue to
View fhe Corpse

An accident, tie details of which
are so shrouded in mystery that little
can be learned about it, occurred on
the Central railroad last night near
the New Jersey Terra Gotta works, a
short distance from Hall avenue. A
man, in working clothes, was found
lying dead at the side of the track
shortly after o'clock His face and
head were horribly torn and mangled
on one side and one leg was broken.
It is understood that young man
named Danschir, found the body.
Undertaken Thomas F. Burke was
notified about s O'Clock. He notified
Coroner E. E. Haines, of South AM
boy, who came to this city and gave a
permit for the removal of the body.
The corpse was taken to Burke's
undertaking establishment on State
street, where it still remains. There
were no papers or cards in the mans
pockets which might furnish even the
faintest clue to his identity.
All who have seen the corpse agree
that the fellow must have received a
terrific blow as his face presents q
horrible appearance. Undertaken
Burke is of the opinion that the man
was hit blythe engine and thrown to
one side, striking his head on post
or rock.

Position Is Right.

Senator Tulman has written a letter
to the Spartanburg Journal defending
himself against the structures OF that
newspaper upon his course and that Of
other democratic sena' ors ia not agree.
ing with the Roosevelt policy with re-
gard to the Panama matter. The Sepa-
tor insists that he favors the coustruc-
tion of the Canal and prefers the
Panama route but declines to admi.
the Republican policy as necessarily
the only means of obtaining the Canal.
The senator declares that the presev-
alton OF the nations honor and good
faith is not to be sacrificed for CONNER
cial reasons and emphatically remarks
that this shalt be his first coasidera-
tioo.
In the opinion OF THE ADVERTISER
the senator is entirely right. The
course of the democratic senators does
not mean the reputation of the canal
scheme. To obtain the canal, the
hasty acceptance Of The Roosevelt
plans is not required. The demo-
cratic senators g fairly Intelligent
men. They have studied the question
fully and we are satisfied that they will
not foolishly or IN mere spite allow the
Interests Of the South to suffer. We
have no sympathy for the hue and cry
that is being raised in the South
against them. If the senator's do no.
understand the situation better than
the average citizen, they ought not to
be In the senate. On a subj .ct of this
character, the popular cry is rarely
based on a knowledge of tho facts. We
think it would be wholly unwi:e for the
legislature to instruct the sena' ors and
If the senator's are worthy Of the Of
fees they hold they will not be inllu-
enced, against their convictions, by
any instructions they may receive
When a mau is elected to O legislative
office in this country, he is presumed
TO be- honest and intelligent. His duty
is to act as he thinks best for the iater-
ests of his country as long as he holds
Office and not according as the wea,h-
cock of public opinion may change at
home. The passing popular manifesto
ton OF popular will is nearly as often
wrong as right. Senator Tillmau has
taken high ground, and we trust he
may maintain it, regardless of the
trough house" which some OF his
friends may attempt to s.art at home.
AS to the merit and wisdom of the
Democratic canal policy in the senate,
we do not attempt now TO pass upon
them but we are satisfied that the sena-
tors are better informed aud better
prepared to shape q policy than most Of
their constituents.
