AN "OSLER" CLUB.

Atlantic City organization to Put
Men Ont of Business When U~eless-
The first Osler club in the world was
recently organized at Atlantic CITY, n.
J.. with twenty charter members, says
the New York World. All are prosper
Gus, active In business and vigorous in
health.
The president Of the club, BENJAMIN
Bacharach, vows that each member Is
solemnly bound to retire from active
business when the majority OF his fel-
lows declares he should be "Oslered' y
Only men between forty and forty five
wears Of age are eligible to member
ship.
IF the majority 50 orders, Will you
chloroform member when he reaches
the age Of sixty" Mr.. Bacharach was
asked.
"Wel-l-l," be hesitated, 'that ques-
ton cannot present itself for fifteen
years at least, and we have not con-
sidered it officially
Mr.. Bacharach, leading merchant
was forty years old the other day.
Other members are Lewis Hopes, real
estate dealer, vice president; DR.. A D.
Cuskaden, secretary; William Burk-
hardt, owner Of big tracts Of ocean
front; Warren Commers, president OF
the board Of trade; C. c. Shinn, owner
Of the Hotel Raleigh; Robert L. Warke
and William Faunce.
Not one Is more than forty-one years
old, so even the possibility OF being
ch,oroformed is somewhat remote. The
clubs bylaws have not been made pub
lie; but, it appears, members must live
In Atlantic City all the year round.
A Philadelphia who was carrying
his grip to the railroad station the oth-
er day remarked somewhat sadly:
'There Is no need to elect visitors OF
any age to the club. All visitors are
chloroformed fguratively, 30 as to
make painless the presentation OF their
bill and the separation from their
money"
1.-The formation Of the Atlantic City
Osler club must not be taken as q
Joke" said Mr.. Bacharach. I'VE be-
lieve in the wisdom Of DR.. Osler's theo-
ries. We firmly believe men should re-
tire, certainly from business, when they
reach the limit Of their usefulness. The
commercial and professional worlds are
encumbered by those who should make
way for younger, more active, more
useful men.
eve will do our best to bring this
about"

FIVE DAYS IN CAR.
Six Negroes Were Without Water.
Ate Only Cabbage.

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-With moth
ing to eat but raw cabbage, and without
drop of water for FIVE days, six colored
men from Charleston, W. Va, were res
cued from freight car in the Pennsyl.
vania railroad yards, at thirty-second and
Market streets, late last night. One of
the party told their story.
"We were all working on the railroad"
the man said, loading the cars. When
we finished our days work we were so
tired that we lay down in the car where
the cabhages were. I do not know how
long we slept, but when we awoke we
found the car locked and we were NOV
ing. We kicked and banged on the car
door, but could get no answer. Every
time the train stopped we tried to attract
the attention of persons outside by knock
ing on the car door, but we had no luck
till we got here. We were all about ready
to give up when the police opened the
door,"

Cruelty to Animals.

Charged with cruelty to animals, Z. j..
Younger was tried tbefore Magistrate
Kirby in Spartanburg Thursday morning.
The case was brought by W. d. Keller,
who alleged that Younger seized Valu'
able bull terrier belonging to..the depon-
ent and cut off the ears and tail of the
dog, and also allowed him to engage in a
fight with another dog. The case was
heard before jury. The defense set up
the plea that the defendant purchased the
dog from negro boy, unknown to the
defendant; that the dog engaged in a
fight with another dog and was so badly
cnt up about the head and tail that it be-
came necessary to cut off the ears and
tail of the dog. The defendant claimed
that it was an act of mercy to cut OF the
ears and tail of the dog in question and
not a cruel one The jury after hearing
the case, returned verdict of not guilty.

A MANS BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Did Essec Murril Die After the Manner OF ke'tt
Rooka,d "A MYSTERIOUS Case in Laurens.

Did Essec Murril Die After the Manner OF keltt
Bookard "A Mysterious Case in Lau'sns'
LAURESs, May 12.-The dead body OF a
man was found in the Enoree river about
two miles below Enoree Manufacturing
company Wednesday evening by some
parties seining in the river. The body
appeared to be weighted and was only
slightly exposed. 1t was not disturbed
but the coroner was notified and went to
the scene. 1t is not positively known yet
whether the body is white or colored.
One week ago Essec Murril, negro
man about 40 years of age, in the employ
of the Enoree Manufacturing company as
a farm hand, disappeared. No one seemed
to attach any consequence to his absence
but some of the negroes in speaking OF
the matter said that they believed he had
been killed and thrown in the river. No
importance was attached to the speech
until this body was found.
It is the opinion among some OF the
citizens of that neighborhood that the
body is that of Murril, and it is the pre-
vailing opinion that he was killed by
some of his own race, but the intimation
is very strong that some white man is re-
sponsible for it.
It is said that the negro was a worthless
sort of character, but that is not sug-
gested as the cause of his death.

STRICTLY GENUINE.

Most of the patent medicine testlmonl-
ais are probably genuine. The following
notice recently appeared in the Atchison
Kan Globe: "Joe Tack, a well known
engineer, running on the Missouri Pacific
between Wichita and Kiowa, lately ap-
peared in big one, with picture, and
when he was in this Office today, we asked
him about it. He says chad terrific pains
in bis stomach, and thought he had can.
Ger. His druggist recommended Kodol
and he says it cured him. he recommend.
ed to others, who were also cured. "Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and
cures all stomach troubles. Just as sure
as the sun shines your stomach can be
brought back to its originally pure condi-
ton and life sweetened by this lasting

RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCIDENTS.
Southern Railway likely to Lay Blame Entirely
on EMPLOYEES for Disobedience Of Rules.

on Employees tor Dlsooeolence OF ku'ss'
COLUMBIA, May 15.-The frequency
with which disastrous railroad wrecks
have occurred in this State within the
past several months on account OF care
lessness of employees, and in some cases
their OF en- violation of orders and rules
and regulations, is steadily crystalllzlng
public sentiment in favor Of the passage
by the next legislature of an act making
railroad employees criminally liable for
disobeying orders or violating important
rules which endanger the lives of passen-
gers, A number of the leading news
napers of the State have taken the matter
up and are urging the passage OF such
law. and the railroad officials say such
law must come sooner or later in all the
States.
In this connection it is pointed out by
railroad officials of high position that the
Ogden special which crashed into a
freight working in the Greenville yards
recently was an extra and, therefore, IN
ferior' in the eyes of the rules regulating
the running of trains to second class"
train, and that Engineer James Hunter
should have brought it into the Green
will wards under full control expecting
to find the main track occupied" And
this is the position that the Southern will
likely assume at the investigation to be
held before the railroad commission on
the 23rd, as to the cause of the wreck of
the Ogden special.
Paragraph ''I'' of the "rules," on which
the Ogden special crew had passed an
examination a few months ago, provides:
yard limits are indicated by sign
boards reading, Yard Limit located on
either side of Charlotte, Columbia, Aston,
Newberry, Greenwood, Hodges, Belton,
Pelzer. Piedmont, Greenville, Batesburg,
Trenton, Warrenville, Hamburg, Augusta,
Spartanburg, Pacolet, Lockhardt juno
ton, Union, Rock Hill, Chester, Cayce,
Blackville, Barnwell, Allendale and Har-
deeville. :,
"switching and other engines and
trains may work in yard limits without
regard to second class and inferior trans
but must give way Immediately upon
their approach. Second-class and inferior
trains must approach and run through
ward limits under full control, expecting
to find the main track occupied.
"In case of accident responsibility rests
with approaching train" ;,
And so far as the case has developed
to date this is the way the situation pre-
sents itself to the railroad commission,
though of course strong effort will nat
urally be made to place the blame higher
up for the sake of the effect it will have
in the damage suits.
