RECOVER THIRTEEN BODIES
Railway officials Say This is Complete

REPORTS OF GREATER LOSS OF LIFE

white.

| NORFOLK, Va. Aug. 1s.-The removal
today OF the two Atlantic Coast line cars
which plunged into the open draw at Eliza
| beth river yesterday afternoon revealed but
| two bodies in the first car, making the
number OF bodies recovered thirteen, with
| five persons missing. None OF the injured
now in the hospitals will die, but a ma
jority OF them will be sent to their homes
in day or two The bodies of the dead
will be forwarded to their homes tomorrow.
A careful examination of the bottom of
the river showed no more bodies and the
railroad ofhcials are convinced that the
death list is now complete, though reports
arc still current OF a much heavier loss Of
life.
Sensational RumOr Denied.
All day long the operations OF the rescu-
ing and wrecking crews continued. There
were reports that in the raising of ono Of
the submerged cars the end of the coach
was loosened and bodies were washed back
into the stream and f1oated away with the
tide. Later reports, however, denied this
story.
Trafic over the Atlantic Coast line over
this route has been necessarily suspended
and the trains are being brought in by con-
nection with the Seaboard Air line at Suf-
folk Two weeks OF forced labor will hardly
repair the broken draw.
]. j. Thompson, a farmer, displayed con-
siderable heroism when the disaster Oc-
CURED. He leaped to the second coach, cut
a hole in its roof and extricated thirty-fve
people just before the car became COM
pletely submerged.
Danger Flag Faded.
Cleveland Thompson, his son, who was an
eyewitness OF the disaster. today declared
that Engineer Reig stuck to his post and
fell from the engine, and that the red dan
ger flag used at the bridge had faded so
from long usage that 1t was almost white.
The draw was open for q tug. which by
quickly reversing engines, narrowly escaped
being caught by the falling locomotive and
cars.
About three-score of 1863 excurslonists
have reached Norfolk. OF them twenty
three are at hospitals suffering from their
injuries.

labor had shifted its burden from the back

sufficient law, such as will meet the
requirements, and when failure is
made, complaint follows without
knowing or fully approaching the
cause of the failure. THE TIMES
was strenuous advocate of State
rcformatory, marriage license and
compulsory education, all of which
failed of enactment. The Reforma-
tory bill was opposed on several
grounds, the leading one being from
an economic standpoint, as mop
portunc owing to the financial con-
dition OF the State just at this time,
and was therefore carried over to
the next session of the general as
scmbly. Our Senator is very much
in favor of the establishment of
such an institution, but opposed the
bill upon economic grounds, the
form and provisions therein con-
tanned as it stood when introduced,
Especially section 6 of the bill. In
his opposition to section 6 we fully
agree with him, as this was carry
ing the policy little too far, cover
ing too much ground, as we con-
slider the aim and object of such a
measure to be the caring for young
criminals, instead of placing them
in the pcnitcntiary among the
grown and worst of criminals, in
penal scrvitudc, for when Il boy is
consigned to such place he loses
self respect and when his term of
imprisonment in such Il place cx-
pircs, he is freed from the prison
walls with no hope of ever being
recognized as Il decent, good citizen,
therefore going from bad to worse.
The population of South Caro-
lima according to the census Of 1900
was | 1,34O,316, and of course there
has been large increase since then;
the estimate is that onc-fifth of the
population is the voting population
OF II country, therefore four -fifths
arc women and children. With
the population that South Carolina
now has, it is worse than folly to
| say that there is no need for re-
formatory, and it is only cheap pol
iticians and seekers of votes who
oppose the establishment of such
Ian institution.

We reached Mrs. Smiths about
dark. They had given us out. We
were at once carried into the dining
room, where an elegant Christmas
supper was spread for us by our
sweet hostess, Mrs. Smith.
After tea we went out and shot
fire works, then went back in the
house and played games, after lots
of fun we retired.
The next morning when we
awoke the wind was blowing, the
sun shining, and cold as it could
be. We had planned to 90 to Mr..
Browns, so Bob caught the horses
and VIC were soon on our journey.
jim and Mabel Brown came back
to Mrs. Smiths with us. Bob
happened to sad accident when
we reached Mrs. Smiths. As he
was putting his mule in the stable
nc jumped out over Bob and ran

were at nice place and such kind

FRIENI)S.

FRIENDS.
There is nothing more consoling
than to think We have true friends.
True friends arc valuable, and VIC
should try not so much to be popu-
lar as to deserve the friendship of
the good and true people of our
acquaintance. The surcst way to
do this is to make Gods will our
standard of action, not only on
Sundays at II q. m. and 7 p. m. ,
but every hour Of the week and
then we will know that VIC are
pleasing our best fricnd-our Savior.
There are none of us who have a
great many friends, while we have
a great many acquaintanccs whom
we call friends. There arc few who
will stand every sort of test, as we
know it takes foul weather to prove
Il sailor, and those we may think
arc our friends may prove to be our
worst enemies. We should there
fore be very careful as to how we
treat our friends, for coldncss on
ones part may turn their friend
ship into cnmity; also, because we
do not know how long our friends
will be spared to us. We should
show them that we appreciate them,
for some day it may be too late.
1t is mockcry to mourn for IL
dead friend whom we did not show
them that VIC loved them before
they left us to return no more.
True friend arc like diamonds,
precious and rare,
False ones like autumn leaves, found
everywhere.

The way to learn good manners is
to initiate those who arc polite.

One Christmas holiday few of
my friends came TO visit me. The
morning was very pleasant but in
the afternoon it began to rain but
VIC had nice time anyway. We
went into the parlor and were sing
ing and playing games of all kinds
when we saw dark cloud rising,
and very soon the rain began pour
ing. After the shower was over
Belle and Annie (my fricnds)
wanted to start home but didn t
want to go by themselves; wanted
us to go with them. They had left
home to go back, as their mother
was alone. My sister and myself
begged our parents to let us go, so
after awhile they consented. Bob
and my father caught the horses.
We put on our wraps got the UNI
brcllas and started. Then we went
on to Mary's house and persuaded
her mother to let her go, and started
out again. We sure had q fine
time going in the rain; didn't mind
the weather so the wind didn't
blow.

MIDSUMMER FISHING

My uncle, Marvin and myself
went down on the Forest one night
fishing. We reached there before
smdown, got our fishing poles and
set about fifty or sixty hooks.
After awhile we made a fire, made
some coffee and as We had some
cold bread and other things which
VIC had brought, we ate our lunch.
Soon VIC went around to our hooks
where we found we had about fifty
fish and one eel about two feet
long. My uncle was so afraid of
an eel, he thought we would put it
OH him. We fixed our hooks again,
went back to our fire and had a
second lunch, with dish of fried
fish. We stayed nearly all night
and returned home about sunup,
so you sec we did not sleep much
that night. Not long after that
good many of us boys went down
there fishing again. We set our
hooks, made on fire, ate our
lunch, SO we had plenty of good
things to cat that night. After
fishing we got wood, made a big
fire, made coffee and ate. Then all
of us got log to sit on. We told
tales, smoked and did al kinds of
things. After awhile we got sleepy,
SO VIC went to sleep and slept about
three hours.
One of our dogs woke Us up bark
ing at one of the boys. He had
gotten up in his sleep, took his
hook, went fishing and caught
good many fish,, He had not woke
up when he came back, and when
we woke him he was nearly scared
to death. We did not sleep any
more that night but went around
to our hooks and took them up.
We had lots of fish, so We returned
home. That was the last time we
went that year. We are anticipat-
ing another good time this year.

GOOD MANNERS

comforts and pleasure of others if
we are rude and unkind.
Fine clothes do not make the
boy or the girl. We may sec some
boy or girl poorly dressed, what of
it? Cotton may be as clean as silk
1t is impolitc to talk much about
dress, either your own or that of
some other person.

obey them. Examples of bad man
ncrs arc to speak roughly or too

ness of others. We should not pass
in front of anyone who is seated in

Hyde as his salary in the last two

Hyde was contrary to law. Mrs. Young
makes charges of stock Juggling and
generally bad business methods. She
says that contrary to law, Hyde elect
ed as most of the directors men who
were not actual owners of stock, and
that i'm order to make them appear as
qualified to be directors he has NOM

Senators Platt and Depew, 1T is un-

President Roosevelt did not consult
the New York senator's about the ap-

decided on the nomination he told the
senators 1t would be his personal ap-

acquiesced.
