DEFECTIVE pEFLEcToRs.
Devices Used DO Not Come Up to Re-
quirements OF the Law.

Columbia, AugN 22.-The Railroad
Commission has directed letter TO
the Southern Railway calling atten-
tion to the fact that the road has not
complied with the law passed by the
General Assembly requiring the rail-
roads to put cinder defiectors upon
all windows of passenger coaches
when the windows are open.
This law was to be In force by
July 1, 1908, the penalty for viola
tion of same to be not less than $500
nor more than $1,000. The defiec-
tors now used are not "the same as
are used on Pullman coaches" nor
are they deflectors as will effectually
keep cinders from engines entering
the cars SO as to protect passengers
when the windows are raised.
1t is stated In the circular that the
defiectors now used are small and
fall considerably short of the Pull
man defiectors in length and width.
They are difficult to detach, often de-
taeh themselves from windows and
are lost. The commission has ruled
that unless the Southern Railway
Company complies with this State
law within fifteen days 1t will feel
warranted in proceeding to enforce
the law required by tie statutes OF
this State.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN sALUDA.
Ernest Rowe Accidentally Kills Cou-
sin; Afterwards Stays Himself.

Saluda, Aug. 14.-One os the most
shocking tragedies that has ever
happened in this county occurred
this afternoon about four miles from
this place, when Ernest Rowe acci-
dentally shot and killed his
cousin, Miss Jessie Rowe, 18
years old, and afterwards shot him
self, inficting O wound from which
he died within 80 minutes.
Young Rowe was with Miss Rowe
at the girls home and was playing
with gun he thought was unloaded.
In some maner the weapon was dis
charged, the load entering the girls
mouti, killing her instantly.
Shocked at the accident, young
Rowe begged some one to kill him,
saying that the horror Of what he
had done was more than he could
bear and that IL no one else would
shoot him he would take his own
life. No attention was paid his
pleadings, but soon after report
was heard outside the house and on
rushing out, the crowd found him In
a dying condition. He had placed
the muzzle of the gun under his
right jaw and fired 1t, the charge
tearing away the right side Of his
head. He died half an hour later.
Ernest Rowe was 10 years of age.
He was the son Of Bud Rowe. Miss
Jessie Rowe was the daughter of J..
II. Rowe.
There is no doubt that the killing
was entirely accidental.

NOW TO MASSAGE HEART.
Surgeon Opens Body to Perform the
Remarkable Operation.

Washington, Aug. 23.-News OF
one of the most remarkable opera
tions, performed by surgeon at the
Emergency Hospital here, Is just
made public. A young colored boy
had succumbed while under the In
fluence of chloroform during an ope-
ration for an infected knee.
His pulse died and after resorting
to artificial respiration without result
the surgeon opened the body and for
seven minutes massaged the heart
with his fingers. Finally the heart
pulsated gently, and after eighteen
minutes the surgeon had the heart
pulsating normally.
For day and half following the
operation the boy remained in excel
lent condition, but blood poisoning
set in from the infected knee, caus-
ing his death.
The operation Is regarded by med
ical students as unique in the annals
Of medicine and opens up new field
of surgery where persons expire un-
der the influence of anesthetics.
