The current Burlington Magazine de-

museum in comparatively short time
indicates how. much public spirit may
do when happily blended with private
enterprise and should be an encourage

public in this country (England) who
are combining in many directions to
amend the state of things brought
about by official sloth and municipal
ignorance.

some English exhibitions this winter

a horrible tragedy was enacted at
North at six o'clock on Monday after.
noon when Capt. j Dempsey Jones,
one of the wealthiest and most respect
ed citizens of the county, was run over
and instantly killed by train on the
Seaboard Air Line Railway. The acci.
dent happened near the depot in the
presence Of q number CT the friends OF
Capt, Jones, who were at the depot to
meet the train. They we're powerless
to prevent the horrible tragedy, and
had to stand there and see the life
crushed out Of their friend by the
ponderous wheels.
1t seems that Capt. Jones, who was
quite an aged man, being at the time
vi his dea5il seventy-ni years Of age,
attempted to walk across the track In
front OF en- approaching passenger
train, which he either did not see OF
miscalculated the distance it was from
him, when the train ran into him and
crushed him to death Instantly. Capt.
Jones was quite feeble, and it Is dou ut

him. AS soon as possible he was pick,
ed up ard given attention, but it
availed nothing. When it became
known the accident cast 4 deep gloom

charge Of Conductor Bate and EngI

tragedy as much as any one else.

Wait Awhile.

The Spartanburg Journal hints at
another phase OF the yellow peril as
follows: "The sympathies OF the
American people have been almost
unanimously with the Japanese in
their war with Russia, but we are 80.
ing to find that the Japanese when
they are successful are going to give
us lot of trouble. They have already
closed the Laio Tung peninsula. which
they captured from the Russians, aud
they levy what is known as likin tax
on all imports. This includes cotton
goods from our southern mills and will
embarrass our export trade, If kept up
and extended, as it is likely to be.
The Japanese are an ambitious, enter
prising, aggressive and efficient peo-
pie and If they want to keep our goods
out OF China In order to exploit that
country themselves, won't that make
trouble?" This is only the beginning
Just wait little while, and we shall
see. In few years from now the Jap.
anese will sell all the cotton goods
that China uses. She will do 1T by In
huencing the Chinese to put duty on
American goods and admit Japanese
goods in free on some sort Of reci-
procity treaty. They will pay us in good
measure for all the sympathy we are
lavishing on them.

GAGGED AND ROBBED.
BY Burglars Who Succeeded in Max.
ing Good Their Escape.

Gagged, chlcroformed and robbed
early Wednesday evening in his own
room at his boarding house, and this
without the knowledge of the other
people In the house, is the remarkable
incident that hefell Reuben M. Sparks,
"a years old, = stanographer Of the N.
O, and st. L., railroad, who resides
at 80 South Pryor street. The robbery
was done Wednesday night ar two
men who done it made thei cape.
When Sparks recovered consciousness
an hour later and reported the matter,
it was discovered that pocketbook
had also been taken from a room down.
stairs. The police are now investigat-
ing the affair.
According to Sparks, he went to bis
room about O'Clock to retire. When
he entered he heard noise but thought
it was his roommate. He spoke and
received reply, and still thinking
that it was his roommate, walked fur
ther into the room. Suddenly he was
seized in front and behind by two men
who took him to the bed, threw him
! on it, and gagged him with towel. He
lost consciousness then, and did not
awake until 10 o'clock.
When first entered the room and
started to undress, and heard the men
in there in the dark" said Sparks, II
thought it was practical Joke being
played on me by some Of the fellows
in the house. When they clutched my
throat, though, knew it was no joke
wanted to give the alarm then: but
they held me so close could mt. They
bore me to the bed, ramed cloth into
my mouth, and spread a towel over
my face. know no more until Mrs
Steele, mother OF Miss Steele, came
into the room and lossened the towel.
She had heard my loud breathing.
THE cloth had nothing on it, but
the towel was covered with some darl
substance, with a sickening odor
This nauseated me and 1 was sicl
from the effects Of it at midnight"
According to Sparks, the robbery
must have been committed by some
one familiar with the house. He say!
that a friend of his, a collector, wa
at the house earlier in the day. A
dinner the friend handed him a roll o
bills containing about $50. This HI
tlourished before the other boarders
but latter returned T. to his friend.
He says also that early in the even
ing negro was seen In the rear Of tn,
house. He thinks that this negro
might have given tip to the robbers
When the excitement had quietet
down, it was discovered that Mis-
Mabel Morgan, niece of Miss Steele
who conducts the house, had lost ;
pocketbook from her room. It is pos
sible that the thieves went on tt
Sparks room, and being caught there
robbed him also. They escaped by {
rear stairway.
When seen Thursday, Miss Steel,
declared that at oclcck boarder iI
the house told her that he heard a
noise in Sparks room. She listened
and also heard noise; 1T sounded like
someone was being strangled. She
thought, though, that it was mex,
door, especially as she could get n
response from anybody in the room
She then returned downstairs and
knew nothing more about the matter
until Sparks loud breathing attracted
her mothers attention. tlanta
