KILLED BY AN
ELECTRIC WIRE
Italian Met Death When Wire
Came Into Contact With
High Voltage Wire.

Coroner Bishop, of this city, was
called to Cliffwood yesterday after
noon to view the body of an Italian
who was killed Monday by contact
with live wire of $500 volts.
According to the story of the ofiic-
ial of the Cliffwood Brick Company's
factory, near which the fellow met
his death, the Italian, seeing a wire
brace hanging loose from pole, gave
the wire pull and started to wind
it around the pole. BY so doing, he
caused it to come in contact with a
high voltage wire which killed him
instantly.
The accident occurred on farm
near the factory's clay banks.
Coroner Bishop was sent for, but
could not be found at the time, but
visited the place yesterday noon and
gave a permit to Arrowsmith Broth
ers, of Matawan, to remove the body.
The funeral was held at Keyport this
morning, with a high mass in the
Roman Catholic church. The dead
man, whose name was not known at
the factory where he worked, had a
number of friends among his coun-
trymen, many of whom were at the
funeral today. Thirty-two carriages
were Necessary to carry the mourners
to the cemetery.

CHICORA'S MUSIC FACULTY.
This Splendid College Presents Fam
GUS Artists in Music and Drama.

Greenville, October 8.-Special to
The Keowee Courier: The manage
ment Of Chicora College last evening
presented to an appreciative audience
the faculty Of its school Of music and
dramatic art. 1t Is safe to say that
probably no school in the State can
offer a finer array of artists in their
special departments.
AS the director of music, Chicora
was certainly most fortunate to Sc
cure DR.. H. H. Bellaman, a we'll
rounded musician, pianist of rare
ability, and an organist of note, as
we'll as being a composer of high
rank. Two Of his own compositions
appeared on the program and were
received. He demon
strated his thorough musicianship at
the piano, proving himself a most
magnificent performer. He may be
said to be distinctly lyric in style.
His melody work Is particularly beau
tiful and his phrasing refined. Though
reserved In his handling of the piano
his work lea :es the ipirccs Iion of
being intensely subjective. There
Is no doubt he has his own ideas and
and plays them into the compo sition
with great emotional warmth.
Madame Belleman Is at the head
Of the voice department and her sing
ing won popularity for her with her
very first number. She Is an expo
nent Of the bell canto school, and
there Is no doubt that this method
produces the greatest singers. Those
who heard Madame Bellamann's al
most fiawless singing last night went
away convinced that much may be
expected Of her pupils. She is not
OnlV q n1nSt cha rTo mo cin hnf N
| enthusiastic teacher, and 1t is a no
ticeable fact that her department has
trebled itself since she has been in
charge Of it.
Madame Willimon played like the
artist she Is. Her violin Is her me-
dium for the expression of a wonder
full depth of emotion. This depart
ment also is making rapid strides.
Miss Graham showed herself we'll
capable Of handling the most diff
cult selections with technique unu-
sual and crisp, pure tone quality that
Is delightful.
Miss Young, the director OF the
School Of Dramatic Art, was all that
one could wish. She Is a charming
and graceful teacher of expression.
Her reading possesses every quality
of a finished and successful platform
redueT. one IL equdlly at nome III
depicting the deep, serious phase Of
human character and the rollicking
gayety of utter irresponsibility. Her
appearances were greeted with warm
| applause.
DR.. Byrd has gathered together a
company OF artists and Chicora Col
lege Conservatory stands well at the
front. Not only Greenville is to be
| congratulated on the acquisition Of
these finished musicians, but the
State of South Carolina may well be
proud of them.

DIR. E. Il. PATTON DEAD.
He Taught Fifty Years in South Ca
rolfna Colleges.

Washington, October 9.--Dr. K. l..
Patton, who for half a century was
connected with the work Of education
in South Carolina, being for sixteen
years professor of ancient languages
In the South Carolina College, and
twice occupying the position of presi-
dent of Erskine College, died at his
home in this city last night. The
funeral will be held here tomorrow
afternoon at $50 o'clock at Oak Hill
cemetery. Former students at South
Carolina College and at Erskine who
studied under him, will have charge
Of the last sad rites, and many South
Carolinians will be present to pay
him their last respects.
DR.. Patton had been q resident Of
Washington for only a few years,
coming here to live in order that he
might be near his sons, after he was
compelled because of the inflrmities
of age to relinquish his work at South
Carolina College. He was eighty
years Of age at the time Of his death
and had been sick for some months.

to get at the old game again, trying
to get rich growing cotton at the
other fellows price, and buying the
stun to make the cotton with also at
the other fellows prices. New is the
time to make break for your free
dom by preparing some of your best
lands for next years crop by deep
ploughing. In most clay subsoil or
alluvial lands 1t Is not possible to
plough this land too deep. You have
some such lands that would double
its yield by ploughing eighteen in
ches deep this fall.
