Fell From Train Near Fayetteville, N. C., Last
Saturday Night.

Last Saturday morning Frank S. Snider,
a young white man of this place, left
Bamberg with the military company to go
to Manassas for the encampment trip. He
was not a regular enlisted man in the
company, but he was carried along as one
of the cooks. -
Nothing was heard in Bamberg about
his death until Monday night, when the
editor of this newspaper was called up by
The State in Columbia and asked for in
formation in regard to F. S. snider and
his death, saying that a press dispatch
had been received by that newspaper that
an unidentified man had been killed near
Fayetteville, N. c., and the body was
supposed to be that of Snider AS we
had heard absolutely nothing of his death,
of course we could not give any informa,
ton.
There was an item in Mondays daily
papers telling of the killing of an unknown
man near Fayetteville, but no one here
had any idea it was Srider.
Tuesday telegram was received here
saying that the body had been positively
identified as that of F. S. Snider and ask
ing for instructions as to shipping the
body. A reply was sent asking that the
body be shipped here, which was done, il
arriving yesterday morning On the nine
O'Clock train. The remains were carried
to the home of his parents on Carlisle
street, where Rev. NJ w. Hook conduct
ed the funeral. The interment then took
place at the new cemetery.
Full particulars in regard to his death
cannot be obtained here, but it is suppos'
ed that he fell from baggage car while
the train was moving. One man who
was in the car reports that he saw man
lose his hold on the door and fall out near
Fayetteville. Snider was in the baggage
squad. The company was in camp in
Virginia when the news came through q
telegram to Col. Herbert from General
Passenger Agent Craig. He was missing
from camp, but it was supposed that he
had gotten left at Richmond, and others
said that they positively saw him at Rocky
Mount, beyond the point where the body
was found. There was nothing on the
body to identify it, and all these things
account for the delay in getting his body
home. The best identification was the
laundry mark "F. S." On the back of the
collar he wore.
It is not known here who took charge
of the remains and sent them home, but
it is supposed this was done by the rail
road authorities. The body was nicely
prepared for burial, and evidently had
been enbalmed, for it was in a fine state
of preservation and the features entirely
life like. Every one who saw the body at
once identified it as Snider. There was A
bad bruise on the side of his face and the
left hand was wrapped up, it evidently
having been hurt. The body was not ex-
amined, but all supposed that his neck
had been broken by the fall. The train
had not run over him. He was about
thirty years old, and leaves mother and
father and three sisters.

Letter to N. B. Fielder, Bambers, S. c.

Dear Sir: The way to buy paint is to
60 by the name. There is name never
seen on sham paint or weak paint or short.
measured paint: DeVoe.
There are a hundred different names in
paint. Some are sham; some weak
some short-measure; and some all three.
If there is another such paint as Devoe
lead.and.zinc, we don't know it. There
are few fairly good paints; few; only
one Devoe. A gallon Devoe is worth 8
gallon-and-a.half of those few.
Mr. Aaron Higgins, of Plainfeld, N J,
always used Is gallons ofmixed paint for
his house. Last spring he bought Is gal
Ions of Devoe and had four gallons left.
Yours truly

John G. MobIsy for Railroad Commissions,

The railroad commission has become
an Office of great importance. Recogniz-
ing this, we nominate John Glover Mob.
lev, of Fairfield county, for railroad COM
missioner. He is lawyer by education,
and has been admitted to the bar of our
State. For number of years he has been
engaged in farming and dairy husbandry,
and has done mnch to improve the breed
lag of horses and dairy cattle, He is
practical farmer, thoroughly in sympathy
with the agricultural interests, manufac-
turing and the development of our re-
sources along the lines of industry. He
has been conspicuous for his public spirit
and untiring energy. Although mere
boy in '76, he rendered most efficient serv-
ices to the Democratic party when radical
misrule was overthrown and white su-
premacy established. He has always TAX
I. en- an active part in politics, and has ever
regarded the interest of friend as his
own. he is member of the military OF
the State, and has been connected with
the service for many years. He is d.
rector OF the State Agricultural and Me-
chanical society, and has held that posi-
ton for fourteen years. he is also presi.
dent of the South Carolina Live Stock and
Dairyman's Association. In the legisla-
ture, his ability and knowledge of the
law and his fairness were well displayed;
always courteous, but determined IN his
support of the right.
Tn recognition of his worth, the legis.
lature made him director of the State
penitentiary almost unanimously. He
was q candidate in the last election for
railroad commissioner, and received
most handsome vote, being third in the
race of ten candidates. At its next ses-
sion the legislature reelected him di-
rector of the State penitentiary for the
second time by an almost unanimous vote
Captain Mobley possesses the golden art
of making friends. Courteous in manner,
and firm in his character, he would make
q popular, as we'll as most capable Of
fetal. He would study the problem of
transportation, and do justice without
fear or favor. The splendid vote he re-
ceived in the last election for railroad
commissioner warrants his friends IN
again placing his name in nomination
and respectfully submitting his qualib
cations and his pre-eminent fitness for
the Office to the people of the State.

Six Well Backed Favorltes Win
and Public Takes the

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE booIsies at

To-Day and the layers OF odds quit the
track this evening thousands of dollars to
the bad. Six favorites won. and there
wasn't one in the six but what was car

With two exceptions the public choices
were odds on favorites, and one of these
exceptions was quoted at even money at
| the post Some of the odds were high
enough to be ordinarily prohibitive, but
there appeared to be an unheard of
spread of wisdom in the betting ring
and everybody was getting ON to one of
the favoriteS all afternoon If the races
had been arranged by Jerome for the sole
purpose of putting the bookmakers out
of the business they couldn't have been
more successful.
Won Tromp, at to 2 and well backed,

race. Walter Cleary. at 8 to 5, won the.
steeple chase. Jane Holly, even. captured
