MRS. BOWMAN INJURED.
Jumped From Carriage While Horses
We're Running.

From the Daily Item June u.
Mrs. W. A. Bowman jumped from
her carriage this morning while the
horses were running and sustained
very painful and dangerous injuries.
She had started for drive and sent
her driver in to inform Mrs. W. H.
Ingram that she was ready. While
the man was on the piazza the horse
became frightened and started down
Hampton avenue at a fast rate. Mrs.
Bowman became very much excited,
and in attempting to jump from the
vehicle she fell heavily to the ground,
and was painfully injured about the
head Mrs. Bowman was taken to
the hospital and at the present writ
ing had not regained consciousness.
A thorough examination has not yet
yet been made, so it is impossible to
tell the exact extent Of the injuries.

INSTALLATION At EVANSVILLE
The Rev. n. A. Knox Becomes Pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church.

Bisbopville, June 5.-On Sunday last
the Rev. H. A. Kuox was installed as
pastor of the Mayesville Presbyterian
Church. by commission of Harmony
Presbytery, consisting of Rev. W. j.
Mckay, D. D., pastor of Brick
Church, Rev, Hugh r. Murchison,
pastor of this Bishopville Church, and
Elder Thomas B. Fraser, of the Sum-
ter Church.
In spite of the inclemency of the
weather the beautiful church building
was veil filed, almost every member
of the home congregation being pres
ent, besides a number of visitors of
other churches ard denominations.
Mr. Knox comes to the Mayesville
Church under very happy auspices.
He has just graduated from the Co.
lumbia Theological Seminary. and
some months before his graduation
received his call.
He had preached here several times,
and the people were pleased with his
sermons, and delighted with his per-
sonality, so that they are mutually
acquainted already, and there is little
doubt that the warmest feelings and
most cordial sympathy will soon join
pastor and congregation in perfect
unity, which should characterize the
Church of Christ.

will not, therefore, be able to attend

There has been no let up in the ef-
fort to save the neck Of Small, the

Darlington county for the murder of
a negro. The published accounts of
the murder left no room for doubt of
the justice of the verdict and sentence
and it is maudlin sentiment that is

business? Not much. They have
been reformed, at least an effort has
been made in that direction, and
stringent laws to prevent are advo-
Gated as the remedy for the unsatis-
factory conditions. The demand is
for reformation and proper and hon
est management in future. Neverthe-
less certain peculiar system of rea-
soning to which several South Caro-

inevitably lead to the conclusion that
the only proper method Of dealing

HIS OWN OPINION
ON THE SUBJECT
Bryan Not Trying to Ram Gov
eminent Ownership Down
Democratic Threats.
SPEECH AT JACKSON, MISS.
ATTITUDE OF JOHN SHARP Will
LlAMS.

Jackson, Miss. Sept 22.-Mississippi
j. Bryan today, when he spoke to about
10000 people. Leading Democrats from
all parts OF the state were here, and at
the conclusion OF the address resolu-
lions commendatory of Mr.. Bryan were
adopted by a strong vote
Mr.. Bryan's speech dealt with trusts
government control of railroads and
congratulated President Roosevelt upon
his Democratic tendencies. Mr.. Bryan
declared that he CBryan) had been mis-
quoted and misrepresented i'm his utter
ances on the government ownership
question; that he simply expressed his
views as a private citizen, which he
mad right to do, and was not trying
10 enforce his individual views on the
party.
Law Must BE Enforced.
81 no more favor government owner
ship OF the railroads." declared the
speaker. than does President ROose-
Welt. whose utterances on that subject
are still in the minds OF ALL And
noted that Mr.. Fairbanks, in his Chi
cago address, stated that the passa &c
OF the railroad rate law was simply the
beginning. What the vice president
meant to convey is more open to mis-
construction than any one statement
am not defending my original state
ment on that question, nor apologizing
for anything I said. and / will reiteratt
Fere that unless the law against tht
railroads is enforced. unless they are
eliminated from politics, placed in &
position where they can no longer cor.
rupt legislation. joint government AM
state ownership will be the ultimate
result. But the railroads will force the
Issue, not the people"
Roosevelt and Trusts.
Mr.. Bryan here took up the trust
question. and said President Roosevelt
was a good Democrat, as far as he
went, but that he had not gone fal
enough. And IL Democratic measures
were good when taken up by a Repub-
lican administration. they would bt
better in the hands of a Democratic
president and congress.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's ad
dress John Sharp Williams spoke brief
~. He eulogiZed Bryan, calling atten-
ton TO those measures advocated By
him that had been suggested by ths
Republicans with the aid of Democrats
He called attention to the fact that he
had supported Mr.. Bryan in two cam.
paigns. and would do so again. but
stated that he was unalterably opposed
To government ownership of railroads.
