A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
Negro Woman Had Both Legs Cut Off
BY Train.

Lizzie Mazyck, a negro woman who
lives on Kicker street, not far from
the Atlantic coast Line passenger sta
ton. was run over by the morning
train from Charleston near the Mag
nolia street crossing just as the train
wps pulling up to the station. AS
the train approached the crossing af-
ter coming around tho curve to the
main line the woman was seen walk
ing along beside the track going to-
ward the station. When the engine
was within few feet of her she sud-
denly stepped on the track in front Of
the engine. The cow catcher struck
her. knocking her down. Her body
fell clear, OF the track, but the wheels
passed over her right leg, severing ii
below the knee, and her left leg was
mashed and lacerated from the knee
to the foot. The left fooot was crush
ed almost off at the instep. DIR. c. w.
Maxwell was called in to attend the
"''hoi' o''' Niu cNcIy DOSSlDJG 1Or
her, but she was suffering severely
from shock, and DR.. Maxwell states
that she will probably not recover.
There is no means Of ascertaining
whether the woman deliberately step
ped in front Of the train with the in
tent to commit suicide or merely be-
came confused and got in front Of the
train without knowing what she was
doing, When the accident occurred
the woman was accompanied by a
child about five. years old, but the
child escaped without injury, as it re-
mained. in the foot path beside the
track.
I.ater-The woman never rallied
from the shock and died about /
O'Clock. From all than can be learn
ed concerning the circumstances of
the accident no blame can possibly at
tach to- the engineer Of the train by
which the woman was injuriied.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Fire Department Proved Its Value
Again-Fire Started i'm q Bad Place.

|, The value of an efficient fire depart
ment was once again demonstrated
last night. The fire that broke out
at o'clock this morning in J. w.
Durant's meat market, on West Lib
erty street, had it not been quickly
and efficiently handled would have
done more damage to the heart of the
business district than the maintenance
of the fire department has cost in five
years. The building occupied by the
| market is itself an insignificant IRON
clad frame Yuilding and it's destruc-
ton would have been a small loss. but
1T is so situated that the names could
quickly and easily extend to the rear
OF the block Of stores on the west side
Of Main street and to other buildings
on West Liberty i'm the rear of the
market and adjacent to it and sheds
and buildings that would make fine
| food for fire. A fire once we'll under
way in this locality wbuld give the
fire department job that it could not
handle under present conditions. But
last night the firemen got there on
time and in few minutes the fire
was extinguished and all danger was
over.
The interior Of the market was
badly scorched and begrimed by
smoke but repairs can be made at a
cost not exceeding a hundred dollars.
The furniture and fixtures owned by
the Durants was badly damaged but
will not be a total loss.
The -origin Of the fire has not been
explained, but the supposition is that
1t started in pile of sacks and bag
ging that was in one corner of the
back room, either from spontaneous
combustion or from a cigarette stump
that had been smouldering there from
the evening before. There had been
no fire in the market during the day
and there was no lamp left bulning in
the market when 1T closed for the
night.

the State is ready to taken even q
greater step towards prohibition than
this; but such plan will, practically.
give up, threefourths or more of the
state for prohibition.
with the policy of the State declar-
ed to be opposed to the traffic. coupled
with the good effect produced by the
practical workings Of prohibition
law, the counties will be very slow to
exempt themselves from the operation
OF the law and to place themselves in
direct opposition to the we'll defined
moral policy of the State.
Under such circumstances, I do
not believe that my candidacy this
year would be productive of good to
the prohibition cause and 1 will not
be candidate.
Whether the State Democratic con-
vention will be asked to permit a di-
rect vote upon the question in the
primary this summer, I am not now

sonal views upon this subject, hut be-
fore any definite conclusion is reached
it may be necessary to have a confer
ence Of the prohibitionists. am seek
ing to do whatl Is best for the ultimate
good Of the cause.
PERSONALLY. I shall continue to go
into different sections Of the State and
advocate prohibition. shall offer ~
services to any section that may de-
sire them, whether it be to make
speeches generally throughout the
State. or in counties where campaigns
are being made under the present law.

Letter TO T.. Il. Windham.
Sumter, 6. C..

Dear Sir: One of the ways to get
rich is to make a quarter look like
thirty cents. ~
There's a better: make it thirty
cents. 1t has this advantage: one
keeps out of Jail
There are 200 paint manufacturers
making quarters look like so, 40, SO,
GO cents and all the odd cents be-
tween. That is, their paints profess
to be paints; and they are, in about
the proportions named: they get 80
to 60 cents for Quarters worth;
some get 75.
There's better way to paint: De-
voc. There are eight honest paints.
By honest" we mean not-adulterated
and fuil-nleasure. These honest ones
differ; no two are alike. In one, the
quarter is worth 81 or % cents; in
another, 80 cents; there must be
best one in eight;! it is the one that
takes least gallons to cover job-De-
voc.
To cover; that seems a light way to
speak of a paint. No. it isn't That
is what paint is for: to cover. 1t
means to hide and protect The paint
that goes furthest is best, wears long
