BRITISH RAILROADS
MAY Be TIED UP

London. Oct. 2G.-Great Britain
rs now facing the possibility of the
greatest labor strike in the history
OF the United Kinedom. which may
result In tying mp all the railroads
OF the country The voting on the
question of a strike by the members
OF the Amalgamate1 Society of Rail-
way Servants. OF which Richard Bell.
NJ. p. is general secretary. was con-
cluded today and the result will
shortly be made public IL is re-
ported that the sentiment among the
men Is largely In favor OF a general
suspension OF work. in order to se-
cure the recognition OF their organi-
cation and a new scale OF wages and
hours.
1t IL not likely that a strike will
be declared Immediately upon the an
aouncement of the result OF the vote,
as the officials OF the Amalgamated
Society are in favor of making a
last effort TO settle the dispute peace
ably. 1t Is likely that this attempt
will be fruitless. as the railway COM
panies have already made an un-
favorable and final reply TO the so
ciety's demand for recognition and
higher wages and shorter hours.
.1x< <<f 1.A
nies, which was issued by the coun-
ell of the Railway association. says
the council has no power TO appoint
representatives TO meet.the delegates
OF the unions and discuss questions
which affect the relations between
Individual companis and their en-
ployes.
The council. however, added that
fits members individually were unan-
imously of the opinion that no ad-
vantage could result from any meet
ing until after today and when the
result OF the balloting on the ques-
tion for all time over the standard
hours.
The companies nave refused 10
grant the unions demands on the
grounds that IL represents only a
quarter of the men employed, and
also that It would be destructive of
responsible railway control to allow
the unions to intervene.
An analysis of the Amalgamated
sooiety's funds state that there is
only an amount equal to about $11
per member available for strike pur-
poses. In the event that the strike
is declared. however. 1t is thought
that all tn ~ sanized workingmen
OF Great F,Rain will come TO the
financial as ,stane of the railroad
men.

A Rusty Nail in His Lungs.

By using the X-ray apparatus, DR..
LeGrand Query has located and re-
moved fve-penny cut nail, a little
rusty, swallowed by little Arthur
Boyer, 1s months old, and had found
it's way into the child's lungs. When
the little fellow, v po lives with his
parents in Lexington county, not Tar
from the town of Lexington, was
brought to the Columbia hospital, he
was suffering the most intense agony,
but it seemed almost impossible to
determine the cause Of his strange
illness. Only the Roentgen apparatus
could show the location of the unusual
foreign body.
The child was, brought to the hos
pital Friday and the X-ray brought
into use. It was seen Immediately
that an operation would have to be
performed and the little patient was
prepared TO: the operating room. DR..
Guerry performed the operation
beautifully and in very short while.
So perfect has been the child's re-
covery that today he is playing about
the hospital grounds and will be en-
tirely released from treatment in a
few days.-Columbia Record, 30th.

Interesting Case.

One of the most interesting cases
that has been tried in the Magistrates
court here in some time was that of
the Rhea Live Stock Co., Columbia,
vs.. Eli Spires, in which the plaintiff
took out attachment proceedings
against the defendant to receive a
difference which was to have been
paid in a mule trade, the principal
question being, if the difference IN
trade (boot) was really part ofthe pur-
chase money. Magistrate Derrick
has decided in favor of the plaintiff,
that the difference was part of the pur-
chase money and the case will be
carried to the higher court. Mr.. Allen
J. Green, of Columbia, represented
the plaintiff and w. H. Sharpe, the
defendant.

GREAT EXPOSITION
OPENED BIZ ROOSEVELT

The great jamestown Ter-Centenial
Exposition opened Friday. President
Roosevelt, the diplomatic naval and
military representatives of thirty
seven of the nations of the world,
and the governors of many states
participated in the exercises. The
exposition which will remain open
until the 30th, of November, next,
was not at all hindered by the unfin :
ished condition of many buildings and
the 3oth anniversary Of the first En-
glish settler in America was the most
brilliant event in the history OF expo
sitions. From the firing OF the sun
rise salute of 300 guns by the o.. s.
army, through the picturesque beauty
of the review of the international
feet of war vessels anchored in
Hampton Roads, through the ceremo'
nies of dedication at which the Presi.
dent spoke and down to late hour
when the chief executive repaired
aboard the naval yacht sylph to
spend the night in the lower bay, the
day was crowded with notable Incl
dents.s
The ceremonies of dedication were
brief, the addresses of President
Tucker, of the exposition and Presi'
dent Roosevelt were the only features
The latter at the conclusion OF his
address, pressed the golden button
which formally marked the opening
of the commemorative enterprise.

When summer birds from far shall

When autumn's hue shall tinge the

Is it when roses in our paths grow

former coroner Of Richland county,
shot and almost instantly killed Nose

follows:
On Thursday night the negro car
ried passenger, a man from Norway,
to residence near that of Green.
Green run the hackman away and
assaulted the passenger with a knife.
A case was docketed-or was supposed
to have been docketed-against Green,
and he went to the police court Thurs
day morning, but upon arriving was
informed that the case had been with
drawn, whereupon Green left and in
going up town stopped in the store of
Peter Critics. The negro, Nose
Tucker, happened to be in the store
at the time taking down an address
with pencil. Green Immediately
accosted him with the question:
''Mose what did you mean lastnight?"
and almost simultaneously, without
giving the negro chance to reply,
drew his pistol and fred. The negro
fell, but in second or two again arose
and walked out, the back door where
he fell dead without saying a word
The pencil and paper was still in the
negro's hand:
Green gave himself up and is con-
fined in the county Jail. As yet no
arrangements have been made for his
release. ~
