Building Collapsed Six Dead.

Philadelphia, July 1O.--Six work
men are believed to have been killed
by the collapse of the Bridgeman
Bros. building on Washington avenue
this afternoon. The body OF John
Marshall has been taken from the
debris, and at least FIVE others are in
the ruins. At the time of the col
lapse there were twenty-five men at
work on the structure.
The building was reinforced con-
crete structure, and when the east
wall began to crumble many Of the
workmen jumped and escaped with
their lives. A number of others were
carried down beneath hundreds of
tons of concrete, and if they were
not instantly killed it is believed they
cannot survive their injuries until
the rescuers reach them. The work
of rescue is very slow.

Ever Think About This 2

When the farmer names his price
for his products that give him rea-
sonable profit, that the farmer has
about the same right to know how
much money the purchaser has in
his pocket to pay for the farmers
cotton, as the buyer has to know
how much cotton the farmer has in
his warehouse.
If buyers reason that they must
have cotton cheaper because farm
ers have made better crops, then
farmers must demand more money
for their cotton because the buyers
have made better profits out of the
cotton than tho farmer who made
the cotton Farmers are to blame
for this state Of affairs; it is not the
men that take the profits.
Cotton warehouses may control

Llsh,nIns Tore His Shoe Into shreds.
Atlanta journal, July II.

Atlanta Journal, July II.
The queerest freak that the light
ming played Tuesday afternoon was
when it struck @. p. Terry, an insur-
ance man, of 81 Capitol avenue. Mr..
Terry went out driving in the after
noon with friend, and took refuge
from the storm in negro store on
Frazier street. He had started to
close the door when struck.
The lightning hit him on the left
elbow, made its way up his arm to
his shoulder, then down his back and
his right leg into his shoe. The
shoe was torn into shreds.
Mr.. Terry was rendered uncon-
scious. He came to in about ten
minutes and found the store de-
serted. About that time his friend
drove mp. He had been away irving
to find shelter for the team. Mr..
Terry was helped into the buggy
and driven home, where he received
the attention of DIR. J. B. Baird.
Beyond burned places on his body,
he suffered no great injury.

The Old Stone Church.

The Old Stone Meeting House, one of
the most important and interesting his.
torioal landmarks in upper South Caro-
lima, is about, to fall into rhine. What
remains of the building Is being defaoed
and mutiiated by every visitor aud pass
erby, mainly because 1t appears to be u
deserted old house, which indeed excites
interest perhaps, but doss not inspire re-
spsct. To look at the building no one
would suppose that living soul cared
whether or not one stone remained upon
another. .glss
OF course those who have read "The
Old Stone Church, Oconee County, s. O."
published by the Old Stone Church and
Cemetery Association know of the plans
of hat Association and the d. A. r.
Chapters (Cateeohee and Andrew Pick
ens), to restore the building and make of
1t mortuary chapel. But the consum.
nation of these plans will cost consid-
cradle sum of money. While this money
LIS being raised, II something is not done.
and that speedily, the old building will
be tumble-down ruin.
This matter was brought to the atten-
ton of those members of the Old Stone
Church and Cemetery Association and
others who assembled at the annual
meeting last October. 1t was urgod that
making these repairs would prevent the
building from falling into decay and en-
able the church to be .'curely looked
against intruders; also if it was in good
order there is a reasonable hope that
divine services may be held there once
or twice month. A well-kept church
building, known to be in use for the wor-
ship of God, will inspire respect and pre-
vent furthur abuse of the structure.
This church was founded soon after
the Revolution. Gen. Pickens and Gen.
Anderson were among its elders; many
of the best families of the historic Old Pen.
dleton District worshipped in it's walls.
Shall we allow this old building, hallowed
by such precious memories. to fall into
decayp We trust that this appeal will
awaken interest and that contributions
will be made TO this cause.

6 The State meeting of the Farm
ers' Union, called to meet at Green
wood the 25th, Goth and 9th Of
July, begins to look like it is going
to be grand rally and red letter
day for representative farmers of the
State.
0. F. Pile, of Texas, Ben. F.
Griffin, of Arkansas, and r. +. Duck
worth, of Georgia, are to have talk
to the farmers organization at the
Greenwood meeting, and we take
this opportunity to put Greenwood
on notice to spread herself, and make
room, for the signs are right for
something doing at Greenwood at
this July meeting of the farmers.
The speaking at Greenwood will
be public and everybody is invited
to attend. A special invitation is
extended to the yet unorganized
class of farmers.
Whether delegates or not, we
urge it as a duty to all Farmers
Union men to attend this Green
wood meeting. New delegates have
equal rights with delegates to the
floor, but none save regular. dele
gates can vote at this meeting.
Begin now to prepare yourselves
to put the right men in tho right
places at the coming meeting, for
your success or failure depends upon
this. Vote for no man for the poor
reason that he is your friend or
comes from your section. Don't try
to stop a two.inch hole with half.
inch peg, nor try to trot out ten

for the right n IN for the place every

sure the growers that this crop of
cotton will cost much more per acre
to grow than was ever known before.
The extensive replanting with very
costly seed, the cold, wet, grassy

WE MUST RAISE THE LIMIT.

The time will come as society grows
more proficient in the business of mu-
nicipal ownership when many state
will have to amend it's constitution to
remove the limitation of city indebted
ness of 5 per cent of taxable valuations.
The failure tc accomplish municipal
ownership, as has occurred in Chicago.
by reason of this Limitation, will event.
3ually cause this people to revise their
law TO suit the.ir own purposes.
AS matter of fact. it is pothing
more than good business sense to per-
nit d city to exceed a 5 per cent limi-
tation of indebtedness when it intends
to use the money for the purchase OF
property which will increase its assets
In even greater proportion. During the
early years of his career, Mr.. Cernegie
is said to have been the largest bor-
rover in PENNSYLVANIA. The more he
borrowed the richer he was. He was a
weather. man and a safer risk when
he was borrowing a million dollars than
when he borrowed thousand, because
he had assets to show for the money
he used.
Likewise with cities. Many a city
has reached !ts limit of indebtedness
by llis.nanag';ane With little butte
ruption to slii,w for its debt. In such
cases limitation ON indebtedness Is
a good thing. But when a city wants
to own its waiter works, its street rail-
ways, its electric light, gas and heat
ing plants, lis hospitals, parks libra
ries, city hall, sewage farms, etc, Its
limitation of indebtedness should very

the city owns in its corporate capacity.
In addition TO the present limitation
based on taxable values an additional
indebtedness should be allowed of one.
third to one-half the value of its public
utilities, just as Mr. Carnegies bor-
rowing limit would rise in accordance
with the property he owned. Our laws
should make 1t as easy for cities to
own public utilities as for other cor
porations ors.anized for private profit.
