KILLED ON RAILROAD TRACK.
Aiken County Merchants Head is
Crushed by Train.

Aiken, Sept. 6.-This morning, a
snort distance from his home, near
Montmorenci, the mangled body of
w. Hampton Woodward, a prosper
Gus resident of that community, was
found on the railroad track. Coro-
ner owens was Immediately notified
OF the occurrence. The result of the
inquest has not yet been learned, but
several witnesses testified to the fact
that the train last night which killed
Mr.. Woodward had no headlight at
all. The road is straight for at least
half mile on either side of where
seen in all probability had there
heen good headlight.
Last night Mr.. Woodward was at
Montmorenci until some time previ-
ous to $50 o'clock. 1t is known that
he was intoxicated, and some one
asked him If he did not wish some
one to accompany him home, to
which he replied that he did not, and
went on toward his home by him
self, walking on the railroad track.
A little while later, before the train
came going to Augusta, one of his
brothers went to his home to see If
he had gotten there all right AS
he was passing the place; where af-
terwards Mr.. Woodward's body was
found, little dog belonging to the
dead man barked at him, but he did
not think Of looking there for his
brother. He found that he was not
at home and began looking for him.
He could find no trace of him and
returned to Montmorenci. Before he
had gotten to the station the train
passed him, having 10 headlight.
The morning train this morning
found the body, which was lying be-
side the track, with the head crush
ed and the brains spattered out. APP
parently he had laid down with his
head on a crosstie and fallen asleep,
and had never moved. There was
only one wound on him, that on his
head, which completely crushed his
skull

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 2.-To-
uay session of the annual conyen-
ton OF the National Farmers Union
was devoted to the address of Presi-
den Barrett, the election of officers
those who served during the mast
year being reelected, and the hear
ing OF the reports of the secretary
and the board Of directors.
PRESIDENT Barrett in his address
declared the organization on the eve
OF an important convention, having
Tor It's purpose the betterment of
conditions of the cotton raiser in the
elimination of the middleman, in the
nandl1ng OF the crop and the specu-
lator. He asserted that before long
cotton scrip would be negotiable in
every city and hamlet in the cotton
producing States, and that the sys-
tenn proposed by the union for mar
keting the crop would insure fair
prices for the staple.
The following officers were re-
elected:
9. S. Barrett, Georgia, president.
). Il. Montgomery, Tennessee, vice
president. oO
r. II. McCulloch, Arkansas, sec
retary-treasurer.
Directors-W. A. Norris Alabama
I. M. Jeffords Oklahoma, /. N. Nc
Collister, Louisiana.
The reports Of Secretary-treasurer
McColloch and the national board of
directors showed the membership of
the union to be 100000, while four
state organizations We're formed last
year. Tomorrow the cotton hand
ling and minimum price committees
will report.
Will Keep Price a Secret.
Fort Worth, Sept. 5.-At the clos
Ing session of the annual meeting of
the National Farmers Union, plans
were adopted for marketing the crop
FOR the members Of the organization
Whlch plank would eliminate the mid
diemen. The plans proposed stip-
ulate that commission of twelve
members, one from each of the cot
ton growing States, with office at
memphis, Tenn. be chosen to deal
direct with the spinners at home
| and abroad. This commission
is to have exclusive control of the
| handling of the cotton in all union
warehouses, and when a sale is made
the amount to be taken from each
| warehouse Is to he apportioned ac-
| cording to the amount held. The
Mississippi Bankers Association has
| agreed to advance 60 per cent on
cotton warehouse receipts, and 1t is
hoped to extend this arrangement to
| other States. A sliding scale is prob
able, as nothing was said as to q
| minimum price for which it is pro-
posed the crop Is to be sold. A Sc
| cret price will be given to members
| or the union only and the secret Is to
be carefully guarded.

the enrolment to the capacity of the
college. If the number falls below
we will use our waiting list, and
the boys according to their dates Of
application will be asked to report
at the college.
Concerning the April Fool esca-
rade, Of the 306 dismissed cadets, we
have received applications from about
225 for readmission. If the dis

BARN BURNED IN ANDERSON.
l.. G. Keys Suffers Heavy Loss-ss4OO
Insurance.
(Anderson Mail, 5th.)

l.. G. Keys, one of the best known
and most successful farmers of the
Flat Rock section, lost his barn, a
horse and mule and everything else
it contained by fire early Thursday
morning. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but Mr.. Kevs is inclined
to believe that is was OF incendiary
origin. His loss is something like
$1,000 with S400 insurance.
Besides the horse and mule, Mr..
Keys lost 1000 bundles of fodder,
35 bushels Of oats, half a ton of
baled shuck hay, one two-horse
wagon, an open buggy and several
sets Of harness. The barn had four
stalls and large hall way, used as
buggy shelter, running through the
center
When Mr.. Keys discovered the nre
he rushed out to the barn ard tried
to pull the wagon, which contained
about 100 bundles of fodder, all
afire, from beneath the shelter, but
he could not bulge 1t, and the stock
in the stalls could not be reached.
He succeeded in getting out one bug
gy and this was all that was saved.
He has since expressed the belief that
the wagon had been fastened in the
shelter and the barn fired.

MET HUSBAND INSTEAD OF WIFE
Anderson Man Gets Into Shooting
ARRAY at Abbeville.

Abbeville, Sept. 5.-Abbeville had
q shooting scrape this morning. 1t
seems that one Thomas Osborne, of
Anderson, has for some time past
been trying to pay unwelcome atten-
tions to Mrs. Ferqueron, the wife
of well-known carpenter of this
city. A day or two ago Osborne
wrote letter to the lady stating that
he would call to see her at a certain
hour. The letter was turned over
to her husband.
This morning at the appointed
hour Osborne put in his appearance
and was met by the husband. A diff
cutly occurred, in which Osborne
fired at Ferque'on three times with
revolver. Ferqueron seized Win
chester rifle and fired upon Osborne
several times. One shot cut finger
from his hand and another cut his
coat between the left arm and the
body Osborne Immediately left for
more peaceful surroundings.
Ferqueron reported the matter to
the peace officers, with the result
that Osborne was arrested just be-
yond the city limits. He is now in
jail, where he will likely stay until
he can be tried next week for assault
and battery with intent to kill.

oCONEE YOUTH KILLS WOMAN,
Who Died in Anderson Hospital from
WOunds--Reports Conflict.

Anderson, Sept. S.-Mayme Elrod,
white woman about 40 years old,
died in the hospital here at O'Clock
this morning as the result of a gun
shot wound inflicted at the hands of
Calhoun Donald, youth Of 49,.
The shooting occurred in the
Townville section, just across the
line in Oconee county, and about 20
miles from Anderson, yesterday
morning, and the wounded woman
was brought here last night.
Reports conflict as to the real cause
Of the killing, but we'll founded re-
port is to the effect that Calhoun
Donald had been prompted to fire
the shot by the continued immoral
relations between his father, Marion
Donald, and the woman, she having
lived In the same house with the elder
Donald and his wife and family for
some years.
The ball entered the abdomen, the
larger and several smaller intestines
being perforated, and hemorrhage re-
sulting. When 1t became known
here this morning that the woman
was dead, the Sheriff Of Oconee coun-
ty was notified and said he would at
once send an officer to the scene. No
arrest has been made so far as could
be learned here. The shooting oc-
Cured in field some 800 yards from
the house, where the woman with
several others, was picking cotton.
Sylvester Donald, a brother Of the
man who fired the shot, together
with several others from the section,
came for the body this afternoon.
They said the shooting had been ac-
cidental, and that no arrests had been
made.
From past records Of both the dead
woman and Marion Donald. who
lived In Anderson county until few
years ago, the cause outlined above
Is given most credence.

Fatal Duel in Selma Streets.

Selma, Ala, Sept. IA terrible
tragedy took place on the streets of
Selma at noon to-day. John Norris,
while on Washington street, going to
dinner, was attacked by his son-in-
law, Kirk Philen.
1t seems that the men first engag-

We're used, then pistols were brought
into play. Both men received possi-
bly, fatal wounds.
Mr.. Norris was shot in the leg,
the ball breaking his thigh, and in
the side, while the son-in-law was
shot in the right arm and body.
The physicians think there is no
chance for the recovery of Philen
and but little hope for Norris.
