Ar Eatire Crew xilled.

# Three men were killed, one fatally
injured and two less seriously hurt in
a head-on collision between the north
bound fast freight and a switch engine
running light from Charlotte to Co
lumbia. The accident occurred on a
sharp curve two miles north of Winns-
boro at abont5 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
The accident is said to be due tothe'
failure Of Operator H. E, Bolick, at
Columbia, to deliver to Conductor
Murphy and Engineer Price of the
freight train an order giving to the
extra engine coming south the right
of way to Winnsboro. AS result of
this failure the fast freight did not
take siding at Winnsboro to await the
arrival of the light engine, but left
there without knowing that the engine
was expected and believing that all
was clear to the next meetingspoint.
Mr.. Bolick, it is said, is very much
depressed over this accident. He de-
ivered three orders and thought he
had given the fourth one which was
most important, and by some means
was overlooked. Both engines were
demolished with nine cars and their
contents. Every one Of the crew on
the extra engine were killed. Three
Of those on the fast freight received
wounds.

Lexington's Taxable Property
Increasing,

We have secured from the Auditors
books of this county the following in
teresting and valuable information: !:
For the year 1905 the total taxable
property in the county, as returned
for taxation, was 4,154, 665; the dogs
returned for taxation, upon which SOC
each was paid, were 2731, and the poll
tax payers numbered 5025. For the
year 1906, the total taxable property
returned for taxation, is 81, S18, 1854;
the dogs number 1886; and the poll
tax payers now amount to $3.50. Thus
it will be seen that property tax
values have increased 1924, ,2e9. GO
within the year. This exclusive Of
the dog tax and poll tax. The dog
tax itself representing an increase Of
S252. SO paid into the treasury of the
county; and the poll tax payers have
increased 135 in number.
Figuring that 11k mills tax will be
paid on the property returned for tax
alton, it is interesting to note that on
the increase of 1924, ,2s9.Oo the sum of
$7,l79.32 will be paid, thus making
practically an increase of $7,500.Q0 in
the tax receips for this county, ex-
elusive of all special levies, which if
added to the above amount would
probably make it reach a sum in the
neighborhood of $10.000.0o.

There has been some talk of reviv-
ing the Masonic lodge here. Why
not let all interested come together
and open up the hall and unbridle the
goat? There is an excellent building
here and all the furniture can soon be
replaced. Besides, there is plenty of
material around here to work on, in
fact, some are going elsewhere to
enter the brotherhood. This will
make it so much more desirable to
have working lodge here that they
may worship in a temple nearer their
homes. 1t is with this order like any
other, no one can well be good, ac-
tive member when he is placed at a
disadvantage in attending the meet
ings. Let three, five, seven or more
speak out. S.

Dynamite Used.

A negro school house was blown up
with dynamite at Seneca on Thursday
morning, before day, last week. The
structure was in process of erection
and though almost completed was un-
occupied. It was worth about $1,500
and owed its existence to money sent
down from the north. There is no
race feeling there and the authorities
are investigating. There is another
negro college in Seneca which has
been in operation for several years,
and there seems to have been good
dea. of rivalry and bad feeling be-
tween certain supporters of one in
stitution for those connected with the
other. In all probability the motive
may be found in the antipathy on the
part of one set of negroes for the
other.
