FALLS UNDER NHEEs
AND IS CRUSHED TO DEATH
INSTANTLY.
shttish, Mule Starts Off Suddenly
and Leopold Weile is Run Over by
Heavy Loaded Truck.

and Leopold Weile is Run over Dy
Heavy Loaded Truck.
A sad and fatal accident happened
In Charleston on Monday. The
Evening Post says Leopold Wiele, of
No. 267 St. Philip street, foreman Of
drays for C. D. FRANKIE & Company,
fell, Monday morning under a wheel
Of his heavily loaded truck at the
Atlantic Coast Line freight are
house in Bay street, and was go badly
injured that he died few minutes
after the fatal accident, without re-
gaining consciousness.
Mr.. Wiele had driven his some
what skittish mule up to The freight
platform and having found out that
1t would be necessary for him to
move to the receiving door further
up, stepped upon his dray to drive
off. He could reach only one rein,
and leaned forward to get possession
Of the other. AS he rested one hand
upon the back of the big mule at
tached to the truck, the animal start
ed quickly, and Mr.. Weile lost his
balance. He fell to the side Of the
shaft and his body struck the pave
ment directly in front Of one of the
heavy wheels which passed over his
body, as the now more startled mule
moved of. A great weight bore
the heavy wheel down upon his
body, crushing his stomach and abb
domen fatally.
Immediate assistance was given
the poor old man by witnesses to
the horrible accident, but he could
not be helped, and was dead not
long after his injuries were received.
The body was taken to the undertak-
ing rooms of ]. Henry Stuhr, In
Wentworth street, where Monday
afternoon at o'clock an inquest
into the death of Mr. Weile was held
by the coroner.
His body was almost severed into
two parts. The dray, two-wheeled
affair, was heavily loaded with car
riage stock, and the big wheel press
ing his body against the granite
paving of Bay street had fatal
force, that the strongest man could
not have withstood.a Several people
witnessed the accident, but it oc-
Cured before they could realize the
awful fact.
llr. Weile was native OF Ger
many, coming from the home city Of
Mr.. E. H. Jahnz. He is survived by
widow. He had been in the en-
ploy of C. D. FRANKIE & Co. for over
twelve years, winning the esteem Of
his employers by his faithful! and
willing service There was no
prompter man at the company's
store than Leopold Weile, and he
took pleasure in performing his work
day by day. Before he entered the
employ of Messrs. Jahnz he was
known by hundreds of people as
driver of a Rutledge avenue horse
car. Leopold Weile had :. CHEEKY
greeting and a good word for every
body he knew, and his friends were
shocked deeply when they heard of
his terrible death. He was between
fifty-fve and sixty years of age.

ASKS ALL TO VOTE
SENATOR TTLLMAN ISSUES AN
APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS

Not to Furnish Formidable Amnu.
milton to Fantical Agitators and
Enemies of the State Like Crum-
packer and Keifer."
Senator T1ilman gave out the FOL-
lowing a day or two ago:
AS member of the National Dem
ocratic Committee for South Caro-
lima, Lam In receipt of the follow
Ing from Hon. Norman E. Mack, the
national chairman of the Demcratic
party:
New York, Oct. IS.
Hon. B. R. Tillman, Trenton, S. c.:
"We are now confident that Bryan
will win in the electoral college.
am wiring to urge you to call upon
the voters of your State to be active
and to appeal to those lii strong
Democratic sections to bring out the
full Democratic vote, so that q big
majority of the popular vote will
be cast for Bryan and Kern. A large
majority of the popular vote VIII
help to secure the reform legisla-
ton to which our party is committed
A big majority in your tSate will help
the Democratic cause everywhere
Please leave no effort unused to get
out the full Democratic vote in your
State. Appeal to the Democratic
papers which have done so much
in this campaign to aid in this work
NORMAN e. MACK"
This is probably copy Of dis
patch which has been sent to every
State in the Union, and while 1t NAV
not appear important In South Car
olina owing to the peculiar conditions
here, desire to have the Democratic
papers of the State give the widest
publicity to this appeal and to urge
our people to go to the polls on cleo
tion day. November 3rd, and cast
their ballots for the Democratic tick
ct just as though we had An active
contest on hand and were in doubt
about the result.
1t Is the stock in trade Of agita-
tors like Crumpacker and Keifer WHO
urge our reduction in the electoral
college and House of Representa-
tives to point to the small number
of votes cast in the legal election in
the South.
OF course, with our primary sys-
tenn the usual feeling Is that we have
settled our politics in that election,
but nevertheless the selection OF our
nominees does not absolve us from
the obligation to give those nominees
a full vote, and I beg that evnry
Democrat will take the time and
trouble necessary 10 do this next
Tuesday.
The oath to support the nominees
OF the party creates an obligation
which as honorable men and patriots
we should fulfill. While 1t may not
be necessary in this State, every man
will feel far better II he shall con-
tribute by his vote to strengthen
the Democratic cause and shut the
mouths of our fanatical enemies.

Evangelist Convicted of Using
Vulgar Language In the
PRESENCE OF LADIES
The Georgia Court of Appeals De-
cides Against Rev. Walt Holcombe,
Son.in-Law of the Late Rev. Sags
p. Jones, Who Had Appealed From
Lower Court.

THE defendant was clearly guilty.
and the record presents no revers-
ible error" declared the Georsia
State Court of Appeals in sustain
ing the verdict of guilty against Rev.
Walt Holcombe, of Cartersville, Ga,
convicted of using "profane, obscene
and. vulgar language in the presenes
Of females"
Dr.. Holcombe, an evangelist, and
a son-in-law of the late Rev. Saln
P. Jones, was indicted for certain
remarks he made at a meeting IN
the Cartersville tabernacle, in the
presence OF ladies. He appealed the
case, and the higher court sustainef
the verdict Of guilty.
1T was not the ribaldry of some
low grade comedian in a second class
theatre" said the court. 1T was &c
,lndescent jest Of minister Of the
gospel, made in q house devoted 90
the services of God. in the presence
of some three thousand worshipers.
aimed at a female member Of the
congregation, whose excess Of adj
pose upon an unmentionable part OF
ner person happened to excite his
attention"
The case against Evangelist Ho.-
combe has been in the public eye
at Intervals for several months, and
has attracted wide attention, because
of Its unique features and the prom
inence Of the minister.
The annual tabernacle revival
meetings were in progress in Car
tersville, and Evangelist Holcombe
was in charge of the services. A
meeting for men only had been ad :
vertised and arranged for a partic-
ular Sunday afternoon, and It is re-
corded that great crowd gathered
Rev. Mr.. Oliver was to address tho
men.
Following the services for men the
regular services were to be held.
On this particular Sunday after
noon 1t began to rain very hard just
before the meeting for men. was Ia,
begin, and number Of women
sought shelter under the tabernacle
The court record shows that Min
lister Oliver, who was to address the
men, suggested to Evangelist ROf-
combe that the women retire, so the
meeting could proceed, as per sched-
ule.
Evangelist Holcombe advised the
women to retire, and his remarks
were such as to lead to his indie,-
ment and subsequent conviction for
using "profane, obscene and vulgar
language in the presence OF females"
The minister's remarks, accord
ing to the record, were aimed at one
particular woman, whose back was
turned to the rostum from which he
was talking. She was particularly
large woman, and his remarks re-
ferred, in part, to her adipose.
In passing on the case, the court
Of appeals declares that the word
profane" is regarded as surplusag..
where the language set forth is, az
matter OF law, not profane, but is
obscene and vulgar.
''As used in the code, obscene
and vulgar language includes any
foul words which would reasonably
offend the sense OF modesty and de-
cency Of the woman. or women, OF
any Of them. in whose presence they
were uttered"
Evangelist Holcombe will have tc
pay the fine Of $500 and cost, which
was imposed by the trial judge q.
Cartersville.
