JOHN MASON FORD.

A good man entered into rest. or Thursday last, in the death of John Mason Ford, aged 70 years. MT Ford came to New Milford about two years ago from Southbury township, where he had resided for over 60 years. He was a son of Enoch W. Ford and Mary A. Trowbridge of Roxbury, and is sur- vived by his wife, Mrs Ellen Merwin Ford, and two children, Mrs Horace Allen of this town, and Edwin Ford of New Haven. Four sisters also sur vive him, Mrs Eugene Ward, Mrs Elm ma Emigh. Mrs Noble Thomas and Mrs E. K. Smith. The morning he died MT Ford had said he never felt better in his life. He came into the house, spoke few pleasant words to his granddaughter, Miss Sadie Allen, and quietly passed away. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, Rev George Herbert Johnson officiating. The pail bearers were William Marsh, Samuel Waldron, George Woodcock, James Higgins, John Dixon and Charles Thomas. The burial was in the New Milford Center cemetery. MT Ford was a member of the Congre- gational church in Brookfeld, and had served as tax collector in Southbury. NEW MILFORD'S NEW INDUSTRY.
 The Nichols Underwear Corporation began work, Monday, with about 20 hands and by December l, Manager Nichols epxects to have 100 girls at work. They occupy the Staub & Nal lett building on West street. The fac tory has been finely filled up. The stock room is on the first floor. The machines are on the second floor, where there is an abundance of light. At the south end of the building MT Nichols has fitted up room for the girls, where they may eat their lunches. A piano has been provided for their di- version. Chester E. Nichols, treas- urer and manager of the corporation, coming from a. distinguished family of manufacturers, has the di istinction of being the youngest head of a corpora tion in the country, he being but "A years of age. The corporation was ori- ginally the American Corset & Clasp company, under which time it sprang into being in August 1902. It wa s incorporated in July year ago, under the name of the Nichols Underwear
 cOrporatiOn, Its incOrpOratOrs were Mrs Jennie P. Nichols, Chester E. Nichols, George R. Nichols, Judge Jo- seph R. Taylor and Charles A. Kim ball. MT Nichols has already 16,0OO dozen orders booked and by January l, will have 10000. It is interesting to hear the whirr of the speedy machines, which do almost everything but talk, combining several things which used to be done tortuously by hand and do- ing them much better and many times more quickly, give evidence of the hus- tie of the business. What these ma chimes can do is hardly realized until they are seen in operation together with their work. Neither can it be realized that the fine little garments of all kinds which are turned out by the firm, ore and all, with their hens, tucks, trimmings and button-holes, all go for ten cents each. Mir Nichols has made a most favorable impression locally and is an agreeable and affable gentleman. There is great interest in the new industry and all right-minded people hope r,Mr Nichols, the best of success.

of Mr.. J. B. Shackelford, and a stu
dent at the Winyaw graded school,
was accidentally injured in a game

died from the effects few hours af-
terwards. The smaller boys were
playing ball on the diamond in West
Georgetown, Leslie Jones pitching.
Young Shackelford was at the bat
and struck the ball, fouling it., and
the ball few up and struck him in the
temple. It was severe blow, but
nothing was thought of it, and the
young fellow continued. in: the gganlss
and played another inning. The pain
became quite severe, however, and
he went home. complained OF his feel
ing badly to members of the family
and laid upon a sofa. v,, 5sSr5
Shortly afterwards he was found
to be in an unconscious state, and
physician was summoned. 1t was
discovered that the skull was frac-
tured, and before anything could be
done the boy died. 1t was an acci-
dent Of very unusual nature, and a
very regrettable and sad occurrence,
indeed. Mr.. Shackelford and his fam
lily have the sympathy of all. II
was great shock to them and to
the many friends Of the dead boy.

CALLED OFF MEETING.
Negroes of Maryland Town Had
Things Fixed to Knife Taft.

There was to have been meet
ing of the colored Republican club
at Brentwood Md, suburb OF
Washington, on Wednesday night,
but the meeting was not called to
order. 1t became known next day
that the reason that no meeting was
had was that the president of the
club refused to call it to order, be-
cause he knew that If the meeting
was had, the president of the United
States would be severely arraigned
by resolution, and Bryan would lie
endorsed. 1t was the intention Of a
majority of the members to pass
such resolution, and the chairman
did not want it. The meeting had
been called as a Taft and Sherman
rally. When the chairman found
that q large number of members had
signed an agreement to support a
resolution condemning the presi-
dent for his activity In the campaign
and advising the negroes OF the
State to vote for Bryan and Kern,
he announced that the meeting had
been postponed.

NEGROES TERROR STRICKEN.

and School Houses.

A dispatch from Albany, Ca, says
there is reign Of terror among the
negro inhabitants of considerable
portion of Calhoun, Baker and Miller
counties, as the result of raid by
night riders Saturday night. ths
trail of the outlaws being marked
by the. blackened ruins Of 13 negro
churches and schoolhouses.
The following buildings were de-
stroyed: Mt. Zion church and
school house, Pleasant church and
school house, Christ church and
school house, Little Zion church and
school house, Belmont church, Mt.
Aetna church. and school house;
New Salem church and school house.
The night riders first made their
appearance at point three miles
east of Kesler, where the first church
was fired. They galloped away to-
wards the east and before the glare
of the first fire had reached it's
height another was being klndled a
few miles away. Fire followed fire
and the destruction Of every building
to which the torch was applied was
complete.
Hundreds of negroes went to their
church Sunday to attend them,
only to find heaps Of ashes where
their meeting house had stood.
Many of the best members of the
negro race in the three counties
named belonged to the congregations
of some Of the hundred churches.
This is the same community where
few months ago number Of negro
lodge rooms were dynamited and
where several .lynchings occurred, the
last having taken place only few
weeks ago.

FISH CATCHES DIVER
Escaped by Hacking Tentacles and
Body During Fight.

Wrapped in the tentacles of a
giant devil fish, Martin Lund, a
diver employed by the Coast Wreck
ing Company, of San Francisco
CAL. fought for his life Ii the hold
of the wrecked steamer Pomona
Lund was at work some time before
he was aware of the presence OF
the devil fish A giant tentacie -four
inches in diameter gripped one leg.
Another. circled, his thigh.
The diver began to chop frantic
ally at the ruDber-like bonds and
at the same time signalled to the
barge above that he wished to as
,cend. Unable to free himself in
time, two more tentafles twined
about his neck.
With only his left arm tree, he
hacked at the tentacles until they
were partially crippled but he was
being drawn toward the deadly beak
when he saw the outline of the
devil fsh's body. Plunging sud-
denly toward 1t, he drove his knife
with all his force into the head,
repeating the blow until he had
slashed it into sections.
Lund then cut himself free and
was brought to the surface in a
fainting condition.

SAIL OUl OF PJKt
UNUSUAL SIGHT IN THE HAIR
BOR OF CHARLESTON.
Fifteen Schooners Pass Out to Ocean
With Favorable Breezes After
Varying Stays in Port.

The Charleston Post says, q str TX
ingly handsome sight was afforded
Monday morning in the departure
Of fifteen schooners out Of the harbor
after a detention by contrary winds
to nearly a month. Since the last
week in August, the wind has been
holding to the east and northeast
daily with the exception of Sep
tember / and 6, when for part
of these days it veered to the south
and southwest. Last night the wind
the passing of the rainstorm Of yes
terday and the coming of the high
pressure from the west, and bright
and early this morning the sails
were raised and the long detained
fleet raised anchors and started down
the bay.
It was beautiful sight, rarely
seen in Charleston or any South At
lantic harbor, for this number of
vessels are not often cleared and
made ready to sail together. In
some cases two or three abreast
and at times strung out in single
column, it seemed as IL some armada
OF centuries ago, before steam dis
placed canvas to the methods OF
propulsion of ships of war, was
proceeding to attack an enemy.
Slowly at first, and then ct faster
gait, the fleet moved down the tat-
bor and the sight was viewed with
much interest and pleasure. In some
cases until the vessels became as so
many little black specks against the
horizon.
The vessels which sailed were all
bound for New York with cargoes
of lumber Nine of the vessels
were cleared with cargoes here ami
the remaining six were from the
southwark, having pnr into Charles
ton for a harbor, made necessary
by the easterly winds. The Lottie
Russells, one of the vessels which
sailed, essayed the task the first
part Of the month and after having
remained at sea off Charleston
|thirteen days, unable to make any
progress, and being as a painted
ship upon a painted ocean, returned
to port, She will have better luck
this timeg. -,5.,aa 5,@.'-s 8
The anxiety of the feet TO get to
Fsea was evidenced in the departure
Of so many vessels in the face of
the knowledge Of the existence Of 4
tropical storm off Cuba. The adj
vices that the storm was cnrving
and would probably not come in this
direction was not received until the
fleet had left port. The masters
were taking no more chances on be-
ing shut up in port.
The fleet which sailed today was
made up of the following Schooners:
Judge Pennewell, Edgar c. Ross,
Massachusetts; Thomas Winsmore,
Harry Prescott, Victor c. Records,
George May, Thomas F. Pollard,
Warren Adams, John B. Manning,
Joel Cook, Lottie Russell and Paul
H. Dudley.
