South Carolina Items.
A serious rear-end collision between
two local freights occurred Monday
morning about 6 o'clock on the South
ern railway between Greers and Tay-:

running as extras, southbound, and
the train in front had stopped to get
up steam, when the train following
crashed into the train which was
standing. The engineer on the 'front.'
train, whose name could not be learn
ed, sustained painful though not seriua
injuries. One Of his arms was broken
and he was considerably bruised about,
the body. The colored fireman on thai
rear train was badly hurt and is not e1-
pected to live. Physicians were sum-
,noned Immediately and went to tha
scene Of the accident.

nothing could be really done, as the
stream was greatly swollen on account
Of the recent melting Of the SHOWS, and
not until Thursday afternoon was IL

near his heart was apparently made by
a 3S-calibre pistol ball. The discovery
was made by ]. E. Mabry at the bend
in the creek, stream about six miles
west of Union, half a mile below the big
Rice bridge. The body was kept under
water by some willow trees.
By the crossing Of an electric hghe

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

The question Of room and accom-
modations for the school children OF
Beaver is getting To be n serious one.
The house is overcrowded now, aud
tho enrolment is not probably much
morp than two5thirds of as many as
will be enrolled by the first Of the
year The number OF pupils is increns-
ing all the time. In Miss Oylefs
room every seat and desk that can be
found is now in use, and, to tell the
truth, there is no, decent, unbroken
desk in the room The furniture in
both rooms'is old, and has been used
pretty roughly in preceding school
terms when the discipline was very
lax
Another school room and another
aeacher are badly needed The ques-
rion is whether the board will do any
thing to relieve the situation The
school is doing better work nov than
ever b fore, aud the children who are
attending school now are intensely in
1eTt5b'V III tittI WDih. bhb VIC NUM-
Der of pupils is getting beyond the
ability of any two teachers to handle.
The children are here, and must be
eiucated. We are pleading the cause
sof the children. 1t will cost some
money to build another room, and the
old school furniture is really disgrace
to an enlightened community. All
this will cost money, but it has got to
be done. We don't know whether the
district is bonded for anything or not.
II the money is not on hand to pay
fcr the things needed in the education
of children, call an election and vote
bonds enough to pay for them.
This question is up ito the school
board. Some parents may grumble
At the expense of schooling their chill
dren, but we presume that there are
very few parents who are willing fol
their children to grow up in Ignorance
In order to save little money. l,
looks to us like something will have
to be done for the children, or else
send them away to some place where
there are school facilities. And tha
would cost much more than TO build
another room, buy new furniture, and
hire another teacher.

WAKE UP-DO SOMETHING,

We had hoped that our automobile
article last week would at least cause
'somv little discussion, hut so far as we
can learn no one seems to take any iu-
t.rest in the matter. Notwithstanding,
that auto line is n matter that the peo-
pie of Beaver cannot afford to iguore
without cousid ration. The only way
to build town is to take advantage of
everything that comes up. If you ceu't
get a railroad, the sensible thing To do
is. to get the next best thing. Ii you
expect to get monied men TO invest heir
capital here, yoa will have to give the
mea chance to get here aud look over
the situation. No man cares to go to a
town to see what II is like if he has to
pay high price for the privilege of
jolting over the prairie for day behind
slow team, especially when be can get
TO other towns, with apparently as good
IN outlook, by rail or auto line. We
believe that IL the business men Of Bea-
Yer will give this matter serious consid-
GRAFTON, they will try to get some par
ties who like the transportation line of
business interested in it, aud will soon
get this meaus Of communication with
the outside world.
This issue of the Herald is probably
the last that the present editor will
write for, so we will not have a chance
hereafter to trouble the people with
schem for the letterment of the town
and county. Since takirg charge Of
Herald we have worked hard for the
bes, interests of the town. We dent
know whether we have done any good
or not. But we promise that we will
not bore the people any mora trying IL
make things better. But don't forget
about that auto line.

Every town Iu the southwest, with

boat the hand-except Beaver. And
here is n queer thing: There are
,nsfe things IN the location aud in the
ground surrounding Beaver han any
where else. There are better chances
- secure gas, oil aad coal than any
where else that we know Of, aud yet
no one has ever done thing to test
the matter. judging from the report
OF the govcrDment Investigations,
th,re are splendid chances to procure
artesia1 water at a comparatively shal-
low depth, but NJ one seems to care
whether there is any water in the
ground or not. Anything that will
grow anywhere else n temperate
zone will grow here, and mnch grain
aud vegetables are grown aud ready
for market nov, bnt three is no chance
to get il 10 market.
Some Of these days an energetic
man with money will come along, see
the advantages of the county, and
will induce the building OF railroad;
then Beaver will boom as no other
place Ia the soulhwest ever boomed
before.
