VIM. BRIGGS HURT.
Head Caught in Machinery at Jones.
viIIe-CruShed Skull in Four
Places.

The sad news reached Union
Tuesday morning that young
VIM. Briggs had been hurt, fa-
tally it was supposed, in the
yarn mills at Jonesville. His
head was caught by the belt on
the pulley of a card machine.
1t is supposed that he was work
ing around this part of the ma
chine, his clothes or a limb was
caught by the flying belt, and he
was hurled into niche in the
side of the machine. There
was no one near him when the
accident occurred and he was
unconscious when found; so the
exact details of the accident are
as yet unknown. His skull was
fractured in four places, but not
crushed in; the longest fracture
being eight inches and in
the back part of his head.
Drs. Hames and Southland
were summoned and did all in
their power for the wounded
man. AS yet they are unable to
advance an opinion as to his re-
covery. On Wednesday morn
ing Mr.. Briggs was conscious.
recognizing those who spoke to
him and all in the room. He
was resting very we'll at that
time, but the crisis has not been
passed.
Mr.. Briggs is II years old, the
son of Mr.. F. G.. Briggs, of
Union county, and a brother of
Mrs. T. K. Littlejohn of Jones'
vile, Mrs. j. w. Crawford and
Miss Kathleen Briggs of Union.
Mr.. Crawford went to Jonesville
Tuesday and returned Wednes,
day.
Two years ago, Mr.. Clyde
Briggs, an elder brother OF
William, was killed in the mills
at Pacolet by being caught ir
the machinery.

Caught In storm.

Messrs. R. w. CLANCY and G..
r. Murphy, on returning to their
homes from town Tuesday after
noon, were overtaken by the Sc
we're lightning and rain storm
that occurred on that day. They
were in a buggy with two horses
to it, and when the storm be-
came so severe, they drove up
behind negro house on the Bob
Harris place.
They had been standing there
only short while, when both
horses were struck by lightning,
one being knocked down. This
one is still living but is unable
either to eat or walk; the other
horse though stunned is unharm-
ed. Both men escaped being
even shocked.

fathers; but with the precious
blood of Christ, as of a Lamb
without blemish and without
spot" The following brief syn
opsis of the sermon hardly does
justice to the splendid effort of
the preacher: "Redemption,
broadly stated, means saved
from. The express meaning
here is, Saved from the vain
conversation, the false hope, the
superstition, the ignorant teach
ing received from your fathers.
What a characterization of what
their fathers taught them? How
would we like to have our relig-
ion so characterized? The text
implies that we must be saved
from something. Redemption is
accepted as a cardinal fact, but
what from? Moral darkness.

for better teaching in our Sun
day schools. The speeches were
interspersed with hymns, led by
a large choir of young people.
Little more than a year ago the
first move was made by the con-
gregation to raise money for the
building. 1t was dedicated Sun
day free Of debt. The cost of
the building was as follows:

total cost OF S2;472.27.
Of this total the Ladies Aid
Society raised the goodly sum of
$325.75. Mrs. w. F. Walker, a
lady given to good works is the
leader in this society, and she
labored faithfully in helping on
the work, as is shown in the large
amount that society contributed
towards the building.
Mr.. j. G. Haynes, of Pied.
mont and another friend of Mr..
Walker, attended the dedication
services.
At night the exercises closed
with a sermon by Rev. D. E.
Camak, well known in Union,
having formerly been pastor at
Union Cotton Mills and at Mon
arch and Aetna. He is now pas
tor at Jonesville, and is q strong
preacher and leader.
Our congratulations to Rev. L.
E. Wiggins. under whose min.
istry this building has been erect
ed, and to all the earnest hearts
that have seen the fulfilment of
their plans. May Jesus Christ
abide in this Bethel.

TILLMAN IN SPARTANBURG.
Captain Chas. h. Petty, the Veteran
Newspaper Man of Spartanburg.
Has Written the Following Interest.
ing Estimate of Senator TiIlman:

Spartanburg awoke this morn
ing, and after shaking herself
ascertained that the visit of SEN
ator Tillman had not interfered
with the regular working of the
solar system or. caused the Pied
mont escarpment to tilt a little
at this particular place when he
left for Abbeville. A consider
able number of the old consis-
tent Ants were present. BY
the way, it is well known that
the senator likes them better
than he does the wabbly pie
hunting Tillmanites, who desert
the ranks when the pie runs
short. There is another class
who joined the rank late when
they thought there was chance
for little pie. He has no use
for them. Some of these Ants
went out to take his measure
and ascertain if he had grown
any in fifteen years. Their con-
clusion was that his speech was
lacking in the old time vigor. 1t
was rather tame and elected no
applause of consequence, except
when he told an anecdote! or
using an expression that was
close akin to "cussin'.' He has
not improved in his vocabulary
or diction. In the whole ad-
dress there was not a single
sentence that one would care to
preserve for it's beauty or worth.
1t was wanting entirely in origi-
nality. There were no surprises
in it from beginning to end. If
the speech delivered yesterday
is a sample of his talks in the
Senate the Ants are bound to
believe that he has not grown
since he began his career fifteen
years ago. While he was talk
ing there were 400 to 500 men
seated in front of him. They
did not applaud anything he
said. They were solid substan-
tial citizens. A practical speak.
er can soon tell whether the
audience is in sympathy with
him or not. The silence of those
voters in front of him seemed to
tone him down and make his
speech tame. The Tillmanites,
of course, think he: is a great
man and that he has made a
most wonderful speech, but they
were very sparing in their ap-
plause and other manifestations
of pleasure. Even after his
speech there was not the oldtime
rush to shake hands with him.
When he was seated in his
special car with the committee
not more than three or four
came to the window to shake
their leaders, land.
1t was a fine, sober, we'll
behaved audience. Even the
Senator had to admit that it was
very sober crowd for prohihi-
ton county. There were 1000
people or more present, and not
a drunken, or even "boozy"
man in the crowd. The sober,
conservative condition of the
people had a tendency to check
the ardor and enthusiasm of the
speaker. On his way back to
the city he sat quietly and was
wanting in vivacity and words.
He looked like a tired man that
was not much in love with his
job.

THE HOBURN CASE.
Detective W. 6. HilIiard Secures
EvidenCe--No Arrest So Far.
BANKERS


On WednesdayS Sf this week.
Mr.. w. G. Hilliald the Pinker-
ton detective ins the employ of
the State, and. who has been in
the Goshen Hill neighborhood
for some weeks working up the
Nose Hughes case, gave "a
lengthy interview to a TIMES re-
porter. He had just returned
from the Coleraine country where
he went to investigate the Ho-
burn case.
Mr.. Hilliard states that he has
three or four witnesses in the
case, with evidence to convict
two young white men. These
are Lum West and Ollie Ponder,
and the testimony of these wit
nesses is that they made state
ments and even boasted of hav-
ing whipped Mrs. Hoburn. On
the strength of the evidence Sc.
cured, Mr.. Hilliard recommended
to Magistrate L. P. Began the
arrest of these two young men.
But Mr.. Began refused to do so
on the ground that the crime
was committed in Spartanburg
county, although the two men
liveS in Union. However the
crime was so close to the line as
to necessitate a survey to de-
termine accurately. So the case
stands open until either Ne us
trate Began or Magistrate Smith,
cf Srartanburg county, issues a
warrant.
1t is remembered that Mrs.
Hoburn was whipped and shot at
on the night of July 3rd, and
that she disappeared next day.
Her present whereabouts are yet
unknown, although diligent
search has been made. Unless
she is found and brought back to
testify, it would be hard to make
any convictions. 1t is thought
that many others may be inpli-
Gated in the matter, when full
light is thrown thereon. Just
what the motive of this treat
ns1nt was is yet unknown, and
Nrious opinions are held. 1t
seems that Mrs. Hoburn enjoyed
a good reputation before the
events of July 3rd, but since
then, many stories of her loose
character have been. in circula-
tion. 1t is the opinion of several
reliable men that her character
was not altogether what it might
have been. Yet this does not
explain the motive of the mai
treatment, considering what
transpired on the night of July
3rd.
THE TIMES does not make a
speciality of this kind of news,
especially when it is based chief
ly on rumor; neither is it self.
constituted investigating agency.
Consequently little has been said
in it's columns concerning this
case.
The above statements are di.
rect from the officials in charge
of the case, and are facts; fur.
thermore, nothing but facts will
appear in any future issue.
Just before we go to press the
following strong protest from
one of the best citizens of the
Colerain section comes to oul
office. We commend it to the
consideration of the thoughtful
reader.

LA5oRERs FROM SPAIN.
They Are BetterFitted for Canal Work
Than the Negroes.

Washington, June Spain is to be
drawn upon by the isthmian canal
commission for laborers. Leroy Park,
who has been in the employ of the
commission for some time, sailed Sat-
urday for Gibraltar and will make a
thorough investigation of labor con-
ditions in Spain with view to OBJ
tanning workmen there to supplement
the force drawn from the West In
dies.
The decision OF the commission to
recruit labor from Europe does not
indicate q purpose to abandon the me-
gro labor Of Jamaica and other is-
lands in the West Indies. Only week
ago $50 laborers from Barbados
reached the isthmus
Jamaica laborers are paid at the
rate Of 10 cents per hour. The penin-
suIa Spaniards are given 20 cents an
hour, and bosses and foremen say a
Spaniard does as much as three Ja-
maicans. Furthermore the Spaniaris
have shown q desire TO establish
homes on the istl1mus and buy bet
ter food than the negro laborer. The
result is the Spanish workmen are
better nourished and can stand hard-
er work than the black men.

st. Petersburg, June 5.--The extent
to which the socialistic theories have
taken possession of the proletariat is
evidenced by the agrarian programme
adopted by the radical peasant work.
men group in the lower house of par
lament, which aims ultimately not
only at the complete naturalization of
the land with it's attendant total aboli-
tion of private property but the So
cialization of industry.
The programme provides for the
creation of a national land fund from
the crown, the church and the private
property, exceeding a certain amount
in value, the state to pay for the ex-
propriated property and in cities the
factories and the mills to be gradually
transferred to the state and for the
benefit of workmen The mines,
which at present are not being worked
would according TO theprogramme inn
mediately escheat to the state.
After taking such land as is needed
for the state and public needs, the re-
mainder would be distributable to
anybody desiring to till it, preference
being given to local agriculturalists.
If the land in any locality is insult
ficient the state would furnish trans
portation to persons desiring to move
to where land could be obtained.
Workers of the soil would pay an
occupation tax, varying i'm accordance
with the character and the amount
of the ground taken. Persons with
out means to purchase agricultural
implements would be entitled to re-
ceive credit from the land fund.
