A SAD ACCIDENT.
Fred Dickinson Killed While On
His Run On the Santa Fe
WENT TO TOP OF THE TRAIN
But Just How Accident Hap
pend No One Will
Ever Know

The shocking news that F. L. Dickin-
son had been killed on his run on the
Santa Fe west of here was received In
Dodge City Sunday forenoon.
Mr.. Dickinson was brakeman with
Conductor Judd, and left Dodge City
about midnight Saturday night on an
extra. When the train was within few
miles of Syracuse, the crew Eat down to
breakfast In the way car. Mr.. Dickinson
sNlddenly pushed bis chair back and ran
ffto the cupola and out on top of the
train, He was man who was very at
tentiye to bis duties, and although there
had been no lurch Of the train or any
thing that had attracted the attention of
the others, bis sudden movement was
nothing unusual with him, and nothing
was thought OF 1t until several minutes
later. Then Mr.. Judd went to the cupola
to learn what was keeping him out on
the train. He could see no one on the
train. and inquired OF the other brakeman
II he knew what Dickinson was doing.
The train reached Syracuse In a few
moments and a search was made for the
missing man. Then they. became alarmed
and sidetracked the train and ran back
with the engine and way car to search
along the track. MIR. Dickinson was
found lying on bridge, about two miles
east of Syracuse. He was unconscious
but was still breathing. A run was then
made to Holly for doctor, but when he
was reached he pronounchd Dickinson

Nothing further is known about the

son lost his footing, fell from the train
and was killed by the fall.
The body was brought home on train
that was made up at La Junta to run on
the time OF No. s, Sunday evening, as
that train was several hours late.
Mr.. Dickinron was young man %
years of age. He was faithful employe
OF the Santa Fe company, and man
who was universally liked by his fellow
trai1men, and bis neighbors. He was
devoted to his wife and one child, a little
girl of six, and they were one of the
happiest families in Dodge City. The
shocking news of the accident was all but
death blow to the wife.
Funeral services were held yesterday

nor of North Carolina.

Charlotte, N. c.. June 27.-Con-
gressman w. w. Kitchin was nomi-
mated for Governor on the sixtieth
ballot at 8 o'clock tonight by a ma
jority of sixty votes. Following the
announcement of the seth ballot Col.
Ashley Horne withdrew.
The effort to make the nomination
unanimous prectpitated riotous
demonstration which the chairman
was powerless to quiet.
Congressman Kitchin has been a
member of Congress for the past
twelve years, and has been one Of the
leading spirits In the Democratic par
ty in North Carolina from the year
he became of age, and was placed at
the head Of the party in his own
county, Person. He is comparatively
a young man still, and in appearance
Is one of the most striking charac-
ters in public life. .r, E
AS a public speaker and debater
he has few equals in the State, and
in his former political battles for
Congress he has had to face such OPP
ponents as Thomas Settle, son Of the
late Governor Settle, one Of the
brainiest members Of the Republican
party in this State. -s.H. :.

published In your issue of June Sd,
relative to the county clerkship.

to Mr.. Jaynes, and what ! feel my
duty as citizen of the county, I am
constrained to accede to his request.
with no intention or idea Of being
understood as saying anything that
would be helpful or, hurtful to any
OF the candidates who are now offer
ing for the position of Crurty Clerk.
l do not know what amount OF
money the Office is now paying, or
has ever paid, andNdo not think that
past terms should figure in this ques-
tion at this time, except In so far as
TO determine whether the salary has
been excessive. So far as know,
the salary has never been an issue
prior to this campaign, and no mat
ter who had been elected previously
to this, the action OF either would
have been to accept all there was In
the office, believing honestly their
services welo worth 1t to the county.
II i am correct, our Legislature
passed an act after election four
years ago, fixing the salary OF Clerk
for Oconee at thirteen hundred dol
lars, without additional revenue
from fees; that this act was declared
void on the ground of being special
legislation, and that our Clerk con-
tinued. on the fee basis as prior to
this act ~.
Considering the Importance of the
office, and the kind of men we should
choose to fill It, i am frank to say
this salary mentioned Is not pay
enough, in my opinion. Considering
the uncertainty of getting and hold
ing the office any length of time, and
interfering with mans business
plans incident to getting into, and
getting out Of, the office, salary of
two thousand a year, with clerk hire,
does not seem too high to me.
AS to settling what the pay shall
be, IL the Legislature cannot pass
an act covering the matter, 1t should
be easy of adjustment, by letting the
candidates who are running for the
Office get together and agree on
sum they think fair to themselves
and the county, and for which they
would be willing to serve. Should
the Office pay an amount in excess of
this, my Idea would be to reduce fees
for recording papers Instead, of plac-
ing the money to the credit of the
county, as taxes appear high enough
from time to time to take care OF that
part OF It.
Yours truly, F.M. Cary.

Mrs. j. N. Herndon was hostess
last Thursday afternoon to the Once
a-Week Club, 1t being the closing
meeting OF the year. The newly
elected officers were installed the re-
firing officers making encourag ging
and interesting reports OF the past
years work. The hostess, who Is,
also the secretary of the club, re-
quested the members to answer roll
call with spontaneous quotations, re-
sulting In a hearty response. A de-
lightful program or music, inter-
spersed with readings, was provided
for the occasion. after the rendition
of which the hostess served a two
course luncheon. Decorations added
a distinct charm to the otherwise at
tractive surroundings, and the AFFAIR
goes into club history as one of the
most successful I'm It's long history of
many years. 5
One of the most delightful affairs
in Seneca's social life the present
season was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Witseli In honor OF their at
tractive young sister, Mrs. Julia Tew,
OF Columbia, last Tuesday evening.
The reception hall, parlor and piaz-
zas were used, the latter being con-
splcuously inviting with many chairs,
rugs, ETC., Japanese lanterns being
used to striking and pleasing effect.
Mr. and Mrs. Witsell received the
guests in the parlor, where they met
the young honoree, after which the
company partook OF f,.uit punch,
which was served from corner OF
the piazza. Mrs. Witsell was assist
ed in entertaining the guests by Mes
danes Mitchell Witsell, G. V. Mcl
Carey and It. Il. Stribling, the latter
presiding at the punch table. A de-
lightful innovation was introduced
by the hostess, who, after distribut-
ing cards and pencils, requested the
young men to engage periods Of con-
versation Of five minutes from the
young ladies. This served to bring
about happy and thorough COM
mingling of the guests, after which
they were asked to vote for the best
talker of each sex. The result gave
the largest number OF votes to Miss
Tew and T. B. Jones, the former re-
ceiving cut glas hat pin holder, the
latter an evening tie, as prizes. De-
liGious ices We're served at the close
Of the evening. M. ". s.
