It would seem that the meeting
which was held at Edgefeld on Sat-
urday to consider the proposed troll
ley line from Augusta via Edgefeld
either to Greenwood or Newberry,
meant business. As we understand
it, this meeting was a local meeting,
at which only the people in Edgefeld,
interested in this movement, were
present, and that the chairman, Hon.
B. f. Nicholson, will very soon call
another meeting and invite repres-

In Memory of Miss Leila Baker.

Leila, daughter Of MIR. and Mrs. }.
A. Baker, was born in Newberry
county about II years ago, when
about II years old the joined the beth
el Baptist church and made public
profession of Christ. She left 3
brothers and one sister and devoted
father and mother to mourn her de-
parture, and with such pleasant sur
roundings, her life bid fair to be
short but happy, but just when the
prospects were most flattered, God
sent his messenger -death-and call
ed her to her upper and better home.
She was loving daughter and Sis
ter and by her honesty, faithfulness
and piety, she soon won for herself
an enviable reputation. Her life was
adorned by many traits that go to
make up a true and faithful girl.
Dear Leila was an affectionate
girl, to my mind she was one Of our
noblest young ladies.
Just three weeks before, her dear
little sister Carrie was laid to rest,
and it is heart breaking to think how
she requested her dear father to put
her away with much care and to see
tnat everything was f'to its place.
May a kind father and mother sus-
tain.
It is so hard to think during her ILL
ness how she begged so tender1y for
lust one "crumb Of bread" as her
disease would not allow strong diet.
She has there one precious sister,
Who went on a while before,
And with Carrie and her dear ones,
she awaits US on that shore.
VIII the others God has given,
Be as true as these have beeni
If so all will surely enter,
And united be again.
Yet we hope again 70 meet them,
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet them,
Where no more farewell tears are
shed.
When We asunder part,
It gives US inward pain,
But we will still be panied in neart,
And hope to meet again.

Some weeks ago we had a letter
from Sppt~ R. E. Simpson that he
was ready to 60 to work on the new
depot at Dyson. Nothing has yet
been done and the winter is coming
on. The people Of this community
need better depot facilities and the
Southern has admitted this by agree
ing to build the depot. Why not do
it? The e is not good reason for so
long delay. We are expecting Mr..
Simpson to put us neat and COM

so very soon and we have so told the
people and we hope he will not dis
appoint us.

TWO TRAINMEN DIE
PASSENGERS ON WABASH TRAIN
HAVE MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
ENGINE GOES INTO CREEK
All the Coaches But One Empty Stay
on TrestIe-Schedule Change
Saves Many
Lives.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Two men were kill
ed and 100 passengers had thrilling
escape from a like fate in a wreck on
the Wabash railroad Sunday when the
engine and one passenger coach OF
west-bound train No. q left the tracks
half mile west of the Bridgeville sta
ton near here and plunged into Char
| tiers Greek, 40 feet below.
The dead are Marion, Boyd, engi-
neer, of Rock Station, and Frank Nc
Isaacs, fireman, of Barberton, Ohio.
The train was made up of four pas
senger coaches. 1t was crossing a
trestle over CHARTERS Creek when the
engine suddenly leaped from the rails
and shot to the stream underneath,
taking the first coach with it, The
fore part of the engine sank several
feet into the mud of the. creek bed.
The coach was smashed to splinters by
it's terrific impact with the locomo-
tive
By what the railroad men regard as
little more than mere chance there
were no passengers in the front coach.

ond coach was wrenched in two when
1t was torn from the trestle by the
engine. None of those in the three
rear coaches knew of the accident or
realized how close they had come to
death until several minutes afterward
when the cars deprived of motive
power, slackened their speed and came
to stop.
A new schedule went into effect on
the road Sunday and to this fact many
owe their lives. Under the new sched-
ule train No. 27 left this city As min
utes earlier and over so persons miss
ed the train for this reason. On &C
count of the reduced number of pas
sengers all were placed in the three
rear coaches.
The cause of the accident is thus
far mystery and the railroad officials
will give out nc statement until an in
vestigation has been made.

EVEN If DISCOURAGED
Try DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced STAGES.

Rheumatism is q painful inhamma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency OF the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
st., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
