On last Wednesday night Miss Moore,

MUST BE DEAD.
Hope No Longer Entertained for the
Modern Crusoe.

All hope Of finding Fred Jetfs, a
sailor who was stranded on Indefati-
gable Island, in the Pacific ocean, has
been practically abandoned. The
gunboat Yankton, which was sent
from CaiIao to hunt for the missing
seaman, has arrived at Acapulco,
Mexico, and the commanding officer
reported to the navy department that
no trace of Jefs has been found,
which is taken to mean that he Is
dead.
That Jeffs must have experienced
many more hardships than those re-
lated of Robinson Crusoe, is evident
from the nature of the island upon
which he was stranded. Indefatig-
able or Santa Cruz Island, Is on the
equator, entirely uninhabited save by
monster turtles and venomous rep
tiles of the tropical regions. The
searching party believe that Jefs
could not have lived long after ne
was wrecked, on May 8, 1907.

About Some Bank Transactions.

Senator Tillman introduced a res
olution calling upon the Senate COM

AWFUL TRAGEDY.
JUDGE BUCHANAN SHOT WHILE
RIDING ON TRAIN.

He Is Fatally Wounded and is Taken
to a Hospital In Augusta Where
He Died.
A dispatch from Augusta to The
News and Courier says former Judge
o. w. Buchanan, of Winnsboro, S.
c., died there Tuesday at 1890
o'clock as the result Of the 2~2-calibre
rifle wound which he received while
sitting in a railway a at Wards
Station, s. c., Monday afternoon.
Judge Buchanan was coming from
Winnsboro to Augusta and was sit
ting by an open window reading a
newspaper when without warning
the small leaden missile whizzed
through the opening and buried it.
self in his right side, the shot having
been fired by some unknown party,
the only theory entertained here be-
ing that 1t was a stray bullet fired
by some person practicing shooting.
The wounded man was brought
to this city and an operati, N at Dr..
T. R. Wright's private sanitarium
resulted in the successful extraction
of the bullet, but the lntestines had
been pierced in several places. The
remains were taken to Winnsboro
for interment.
Judge Buchanan was to meet a
party in Augusta composed Of his
brothers-in-law, Messr5. James H.
Tillman, A. R. Fuller, OF Laurens,
and his sister-in-law, Mrs. G.. A.
Bunch. He was sitting in a seat with
Judge Lyon, and as the train was
leaving Wards Station, t~hirty-f1ve
miles from Augusta, he exclaim-
ed that a brick had struck him, arose
from, his seat, and In a few minutes
later tainted from the shock Of his
wound. :,
A dispatch from Edgefield says
that three boys were ont hunting
neal Wards and one of 1hem ecci-
dentally shot in the train with a rifle.
It is reported that the boys have been
arrested, but no names are given and
it is impossible to get authentic in
formation as to the real facts Of the
sad tragedy. It is supposed that a
full investigation will be had and the

am not asking for any honors at
the hands Of the Democratic party;
I have been honored far beyond any
thing that l could claim as a matter
Of right or as q matter Of merit, and
especially appreciate the generous
support that has come to me from
the Southern States. 1t has been graf
flying to me to know that my DEM
ocracy has been satisfactory to the
rank and file of the Democrats of the
south, as well as to the rank and
lie Of the Democrats Of the North.
If the Democratic voters believe
that can assist the party by being
candidate why should l refuse?
And why should l take the advice o
/ few editors who have never been
friendly rather than the advice OF
millions Of Democrats who have been
| colaborers with me for more than a
decade?
The policy of the party must be
determined by the voters and when
discuss Democratic principles I dis
cuss them with the understanding
that I have no power to coerce, as !
have no disposition to coerce. 1 can
only persuade, and l have never tried
to persuade others to believe except
where I have myself believed.
You have as much right to your
opinion as to any other editor, and
surely your Democracy can not be
questioned when you, unlike some
other editors, propose to test the
popularity of measures and of
men by the vote Of the people.
Popular government rests upon the
right of the people to rule and every
party, if it deserves a place under a
popular government, must recognize
the right Of the voters to rule. Power
comes up from the people and not
down to them. You are on sound
Democratic ground when you insist
that the destinies of a candidate

HEAVY DAMAGES
GIVEN MOTHER AND LITTLE son
WHO WERE
Badly Burned by Coming in Contact

verdicts ever awarded by a Florence
County jury were recorded Thursday
In the cases of Mrs. Maude Laughlin
and her little son., Lawrence Laugh
lin, both of whom were horribly
burned by an electric wire in Flrr'
ence last August, against the Flor

CORPORATION Mrs. Laughlin, who
asked $4,000 damages, was award
ed $4,000, and Lawrence Laughlin,
whose suit was for $4,000 damages,
obtained a verdict for $4,000.
Judge Dantzler promptly overrul-
ed a motion for a new trial, as ne
had previously overruled a motion
for a n~on-suit, based on the ground
that it had not been proven that the
Southern Public Corporation was in
any way connected with the Florence
Light and Power Company. The case
will be appealed TO the oupFene
Court. This was n of the biggest
cases over tried in the Court Of Com
mon Pleas in this county.
Mrs. Lauglin is the wife or MT

The injuries for which she has oeen
awarded damages were received on
the 18th Of last August, while she
was trying to rescue little Lawrence

tagled in the street near the corner
OF Ravenel and Cheeves streets. Both

DROPS DEAD.
While Looking at the Corpse Of a
Drowned Baby.

In Dunklin Township, in Green
Vile County, three miles from Green
vile, the 1~-year-old child of Joe Say
les, colored, fell into a tub which
drowned. The child's mother had
left it alone to go into the house and
when she returned 1t was dead.
The news quickly spread through
the neighborhood and a number of
people gathered at the house, among
them Joe Jordan, the 18-year-old
son of Mr.. ]. B. Jordan. He walked
up to the tub, in which the child had
been drowned, looked at it and drop
ped dead.
Mr.. Jordan says his son had a mar
row escape from drowning in the
same manner when a child. The boy
had a weak heart and it is supposed
that the recollection of his narrow
escape when a child and the horror
of the negro child's death caused a
shock to his system which resulted
in his death.
