FREIGHT WRECKED
NEAR BARKSDALE
Iron Bolt on the Track
Probably the Cause.
REWARD OFFERED.
Colored Fireman Killed, Engineer Beardeu
Severely Injured, the Engine and
Seven Cars Demolished.

The locomotive and seven cars of freight
train No. SION the Greenville branch of
the Charleston and Western Carolina
Railway were wrecked near Barksdale
last Wednesday about noon. The en-
gine left the track and in an instant the
cars were piled above the boiler and
tender, great mass of twisted steel
and broken timbers. Engineer j. l..
Bearden of Greenville was thrown be-
yond the wreckage and escaped with
number of painful bruises and sprains.
His negro fireman, Henry Jackson, of
Greenville, however, was not so for
tunate as he was caught under pair
of trucks and crushed to death. The
coroner of this county held an inquest
over him Thursday and the body was
turned over to his family for burial.
The cause of the wreck is somewhat
of mystery as the locomotive seemed
to be in perfect condition and was run
ming at the rate of about thirty miles
an hour. There was apparently nothing
wrong with the track, but it is said
that large iron bolt was picked up
near the scene Of the wreck which had
the appearance of having been run over
by the train. Within the past six
months two other derailments have oc-
Cured at about the same point, all of
which leads to the general opinion that
some culpret is responsible. Evidently
the railroad authorities share in this be-
lief as they have offered a reward of
$500 for the apprehension and oonvic-
ton of the party or parties guilty of
the crime.
Supt. Lynch and Commissioner Whar.
ton who were in Laurens when the ac-
cident was reported here, went at once
to the scene and together they made a
careful survey of the wreck. Supt,
Lynch ordered the wrecking train from
Augusta and by Thursday afternoon
the wreckage had been practically
cleared away and trains were running
on schedule time.
Immediately after the wreck physi-
clans were summoned from this city
and Engineer Bearden was made as
comfortable as possible until he was re-
moved to Greenvile late in the after
noon on stretcher. He is reported to
be doing very nicely Conductor Toll
bert of GreenViilc and Flagman Vance
Taylor of this city were in the caboose
with the rest of the crew, all of whom
| escaped without injury.

Mr.. ANSEL'S POSITION.
He Has "Remedy" for the South Caro-.
lima D,spensary System.

The Spartanburg Journal prints the
following:
M. F. Ansel, candidate for governor
in the next State election, who has
been visiting in the city, has returned
to his home in Greenville and for the
next few days will be busy preparing
an address to the people of the State
in which he will declare his position on
the dispensary question. While in the
city yesterday Mr.. Ansel met a number
of Spartanburg friends and briefly
stated to them his position on the dis
pensary law.
Mr.. Ansel was candidate for gov
ernor three years ago and proved to be
most formidable candidate. In fact
his strength was far greater than many
expected. In the next race his friends
are confident of victory for with the
splendid support which they say he is
certain to receive in the up-country and
the vote he will receive i'll the middle
and lower sections of the State will be
sufficient to nominate. His supporters
say that the vote in the up-country
will be almost solid for him.
With reference to the dispensary
law, Mr. Ansel, It is said, takes the
position that there should be no central
dispensary at Columbia. He believes
that if whiskey is to be sold law
should be enacted GO that each county
shall have the management of it's own
institution The people of each county
shall at first be given an oppor-
tunity to vote on the question whether
they want dispensary or not. The
county voting in favor Of dispensary
shall have the power of electing its own
officials for the conduct of the dispen-
sary, buying whiskey, the number of
dispensaries that shall be operated and
the proper enforcement of the law In
other words it is claimed for Mr.. Ansel
that he is opposed to the present plan
of the system. He believes that it
would be for the best interest Of the
people to abolish the central dispensary
at Columbia and leave the question for
each county in the State to settle for
itself
The position taken by Mr.. Ansel gives
the voters of the counties in the State
an opportunity to have either prohibi-
ton or whskey.
1t is known that Mr.. Ansel individ-
ually is in favor of prohibition, but he
recognizes the fact that there are many
good men in the State who do not think
as he does and he respects their opin-
ion. He also realizes that there are
counties in the State that would rather
have legitimate place where whiskey
could be sold rather than have the in
evitable blind tigers. He therefore be-
lieves that each county should operate
its own dispensaries instead of the
State. In the statement as to his posi-
tion on the dispensary question, which
he will make within the next few days,
he will go into detail on the subject and
make every point clear. The above is
only skeleton view of Mr. Ansels
opinion on the subject.
Since the above was put in type Mr.
Ansel has issued the letter as indicated
at the outset, which substantially states
his position as set forth in the "nter-
