The State, 9th inst.
1t was but week ago that
many friends were called upon to
mourn the death of Mrs. o. A.
Darby, and now comes the an
nouncement of the death of that
faithful servant of the South
Carolina conference, Rev. O. A.
Darby of Sumter county. 1t was
feared that the blow caused by
the death of his wife had affected
him very greatly, and while the
news of DR.. Darby's death was
expeueouf it did not create such
shock as it would otherwise.
The State last night received q
telegram from Mr.. E. D. Smith
of Lynchburg stating:
"Rev. 0. A. Darby died sud
denly this afternoon at Z O'Clock.
His wife died suddenly just ten
days ago. He was in apparently
good health up to the time of his
death. Funeral at Washington
Street church at noon Friday"
Rev. w. w. Daniel, d. D.,
when informed of the death
of DR.. Darby, stated last night
that the Columbia Female college
would take official recognition of
the life and services of this be
loved preacher who was presidect
of the college few yeara ago.

day evening little Gary Rowell,
the 1O-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. V. Il. Rowell of Wanamak-
er, was thrown by frightened

interesting article in Fridays pa
per concerning the big power
plant noar Fort Mill and the fol
lowing tigules, rs set forth, give
an idea of the magnitude of the
enterprise: "The dom was begun
May Alb, 1900, and finished Jan
uary Is, 1904. Average number
of hands employed about 500,
cost about one million dollars,
length about one-fourth of mile,
depth eight feet at the top and
thirty five feet at the bottom,
height twenty-five feet above
average low water. Sixty thou
sand cubic yards of masonry arc
embodied in its construction
so, 600 barrels, or more than 4OC
carloads of cement were consumed,
which alone would apparently
build the dam. There were forty
carloads Of water wheel machinery
and sixty cars of electrical ma
chinery. Sixty thousand dollar

Negroes Badly Deceived.
Seventy-Flve Men Elected from
Train After Having Been In
duced to Emigratc.
Charlotte Observer.

ndIIOtte oDSerNer.
Between Charlotte and Salisbury
are strewn about scventyfivc negro
emigrants all afoot. The negroes
left Charlotte on No. 40 on the
Southern Monday nigkt, bound
for Baltimore, Nd, and Culpep-
per, Va. They had been gotten
together by white and a colored
emigrant agent working in con
junction. According 70 the story
of few of the negroes who hap
pened to have some money and
who returned to the city yester-
day, the white man told them to
get on the train and that he would
get on Mt the junction, northeast
of the city, with their transporta~
ton
Capt. w. M. GILES was the con-
ductor IN charge of No. 10, and
when he went into the car to ,col
lsct fares nota single man couldante
up. They said that the agent who
told them to get on the train was
in the train somewhere with their
transportation, and Capt. Giles
passed Concord. When near
Salisbury the gentleman had not
yet turned up, and Capt. Giles
ordered the tram cleared of dusky
emigrants, and the seventy five
piled out.
The disappointed emigrants
boarded some of the southbound
trains to return to the city yester-
day morning, but they had nc
money, and they we're forced out
of the cars, and the greater mum
Der of them started out to walk
back to Charlotte. A few arrived
last night, swearing that they had
had enough of emigrant agents,
and others are still en- route and
will get in this morning.
The whereabouts of the agent
remains mystery.

KILLED BY BROTHRR.

Spartauburg, Mar. 9.-Boyd
Bailey, aged 16 years, was Gsh.t
and instantly killed at the home
of his parents on farming lands of
Il. w. Barry, near Moore, this
morning. The killing was acci>
dental.
Boyd and his younger brother,
aged II years, during the absence
of their parents from the house,
were playing with an old cap ball
pistol. They thought the weapon
unloaded and while the younger
lad held it he playfully poluted
it at his brother Boyd and pulled
the trigger. The pistol was dis :
charged and the load took effect
in the boys forehead, causing IN
slant death.
A singularly sad incident OF
the affair is that Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey, the parents, left home
Tuesday to attend the funeral OF
relative in Gaffney.

PROBABLE MEANING.

Washington, March 9.-The
government here has received ad,
vices by cable from Chefoo, op-
posite Port Arthur, to the effect
that Japanese land forces have
appeared ut Fung Wang Chang
and at Tshan. No details are
furnished. The first named place
is about As miles north of Antung
in Manchuria and the latter is
few miles inland from the mouth
of the Yalu river according to the
calculations of the naval officers
here. They believe that this
movement has placed the Japanese
on the Russian flank and perhaps
in the rear and on their lines of
communication. 1t is believed
that yesterdays attack on Pert
Arthur Talien> Wan was division
perhaps to cover this expeditions
land movement of the japanese
land forces, who were probably
e landed from transports at some
point west of the Yalu river.
