OF THE AMERICAN WOMEN.
There were five members of the
Sentell family-father, son, the lat
ters wife and two daughters. The old
gentleman lies at hospital, and does
not know the fate of his family.
Mr.. Garrett A. Hobart, of Patterson,
N. J., son of the late Vice-President
Hobart, was in the wreck with his
wife and Mrs. G. H. Allen, of Vermont,
Mr.. Allen having stepped out few
minutes before the crash. Mrs. Ho-
bart suffered an injured ankle. She is
the granddaughter Of Senator Frye.
Mrs. Allen was uninjured; MIR. Allen
was painfully hurt.
Mr.. G. A. Strachan, of Boston, who
was on the train, said:
Il have been accustomed to fast
travelling in the United States on
broad-gauge tracks with heavy cars,
but firmly believe this train was rum
ming faster than anything l have ever
been on. The coaches swayed from
side to side to SO great a degree that
/ really feared an accident would hap
pen fer some time before ii occurred.
Mr.. Stracham commented strongly
on the lightness OF English railway
cars.

PUBLICATION OF SUPERVISORS
REPORTS.

We respectfully call the atten-
ton of the people to the quar-
terly report of the County Sup
ervisor which is published in
this issue, and equally respect
fully request our supervisor and
his board Of mmissioners to
compare their lblished report
with that Of the Lancaster Coun
ty supervisor which appears in
the October 9Th issue of the
Lancaster News.
We have always held that the
supervisor, in his report of
claims paid should state, oppo-
site the name of the claimant
for what the check was drawn.
In other words, that the people
want to know for what their
money is being spent, and not
merely to whom it is being paid
This, it will be seen, is fully
shown in the report by the Ian
caster supervisor, while in that
OF ours, everybody is kept guess
ing.
The foregoing is taken from
the Camden People. We have
often wondered why the reports
in Kershaw and a few other coun
ties are published in the manner
stated by our Camden contem-
porary. The mere publication
of names and amounts gives the
people but little or no informa
tlon as TO the purposes for which
their taxes are being expended.
Ihe bare statement, for example,
that five dollars was paid TO John
Stepandietchit, without any eX-
PLANTATION whatever as to the Kind
of services rendered by him-as
to what he did TO earn the money
occurs to us as very unsatis-
factory way of letting the public
know how a county's revenue is
being spent. For aught the tax
payers know, John may have
been paid $500 TOR skillfully
"skinnin' the cat," or tor an ex.
traordinary feat of rubberneckin'
at ballet performance.

with the money now on hand to
purchase the monument-by
making charge of FIVE dollars
for each name to be inscribed
thereon. He says that plan was
adopted in Fort Mill, where it
worked successfully, as many as
100 or more names being paid
for and inscribed on the Con-
federate monument.

Bennettsville special in Column
bla State: Recently a business
prospecting visit carried me
through Chesterfield county, over
the new and important short

Chesterfield and Lancaster, ex-
tending from Cheraw to the new

lished town of Pages, so named
for the president and promoter
of the road.
was so favorably impressed
with the development of this road,
and the splendid capabilities of
that section that an irresis stible
conviction seized me that the
proper thing to do was to briefly,
through The State, publish
some of the impressions made by
what | saw and heard.
Somehow Chesterfield county
has, by many, been grouped and
classed with and among the poor
er counties Of the State. and
while there are many very poor
acres in that old county, yet it
must be remembered that her
square miles are many, and until
recently the interior Of the coun-
ty has not been blessed with rail.

remained undisturbed and unde-
veloped.

advocates of intellectual training
and development.
Cheraw, for more than 100
years the largest town, great
trade center,is populated with as
cultured and honorable class of
people as any town in the State.
Until few years ago the county
was practically isolated.
A short time ago the Pages
from North Carolina purchased
large tracts of valuable tim ber
land in the county, near the
court house and farther west to-.
ward Lynch's river, Is to 20 miles
from any railroad. They realized
at once that in order to develop
the county and obtain valuable
and lucrative results from their
real estate investments that a
railroad must be constructed from
Cheraw through the county, via
