stone crusher from the head of Pensa-
cola street was moved at considerable
expense, and the road department plan
ned to make this quarry the principal
source of it's road material. And 70 IT
has. Only it forgot to quarry the rock
on it's own land, and, instead, has been
quarrying it principally on the adJoin-
ing land which belongs to the Ciarlssa
Cummings estate, which is represented
by J. Alfred Magoon.
When the lease to the county was
executed the land leased was marked OF
on the ground, so that there could be
no mistake, but the quarrying is said to
have been done principally on the
wrong side of the line, and now suit
for damages is threatened.
John H. Wilson, the new road super
visor, made discovery the other day
while at the quarry, which aroused his
suspicious that the quarrylng was not
being done where it ought to be and he
at once began making inquiries. The
original lease was looked up and then
CITY and County Engineer Gere was
asked to make a survey to see whether
the CITY and County was trespassing
on somebody else's land or not, with
the result that it is pretty certain that
it has been.
Talk of damages to the extent of
$1,000 or 900 has been heard about,
but it is not at all probable that dam
ages to anything like this amount have
been inflicted. And even if damages
have been inflicted, it is probable that
the bonds given by Johnson and by
Cummins will cover the loss, as it seems
| to have been under their directions that
| the quarrying was done where it was

MEXICAN EARTHQUAKES WORST
In Many Years--Two Villages are
Practically Wiped Out.

Mexico city, Aug. "details
which are beginning to arrive from
the State of Guerrero shoW that the
recent series of earthquakes in the
valley of Mexico and along the Pa
cific coast were the worst experienced
in many years, 1t Is now certain;
that the towns of Acapulco and Chill
pancingo have been practically de-
stroyed. What the earthquake of
Friday failed to do was accomplished
by the stronger one of yesterday,
which either leveled or rendered un-
inhabitable every building in these
places. In addition to the ruin
caused by the earthquake, Acapulco
now faces a famine. All of the mar
kets were. destroyed in the shocks of
Saturday and the country people are
afraid to bring more produce into
the town. The people are camping
in the public squares.
The few buildings that remain
standing are being leveled by dyna-
mite, as they are little more than
tottering walls that are constantly
falling as new shocks come.
During the heavy shock Yesterday
the water in the harbor receded a
distance Of 33 feet and then rushed
back, covering the|docks and piers.
The people are suffering considera-
bly,, not only for want of food, but
because Of their exposed positions.

Drove Wrong Dagger i'm Actress.

New York, Aug. Mile. Dazzle,
an actress, will not be able to assist
her company in the production Of a
pantomime for some time, following
serious stab wound she received in
the breast, in full view Of the audi
ence in a theater at Rockaway
Beach. Mile. Dazie's jealous rival
on the stage was supposed to stap
her to the heart with a dagger, and
for this purpose two weapons were
employed, one with shining steel
blade, to impress the audience, and
the other with rubber blade, for
the actual use of the jealous rival.
In some manner, the rival, Mile.
Lima, grasped the wrong dagger at
the critical time and plunged the
steel blade into the breast of Mile.
Dazie, inflicting a wound four inches
long.
The audience, on hearing the
shrek of the wounded actress, and
seeing the blood, became wildly ex-
cited, but was calmed by state
ment from the stage manager. Doc
tors in the audience dressed the
wound, and said while it was not
mortal, it was sufficiently serious to
prevent the actress public appear
ance for some time to come.

son, superintendent, Anderson
Gentlemen: In regard to depot ac-
commodations at Walhalla, S. c.,
am directed to enclose you an extract
from the minutes of the commission
relating thereto, which reads as fol-
lows:
Meeting held at Walhalla, s. c.,
$50 p. M, Friday, July 2, 1909.
Present: The Commission; ]. r. An
derson, superintendent of the Blue
Ridge Railway Company; ]. A. Steck
Mayor of Walhalla, S. c., members
of the City Council and numerous
citizens of the town of Walhalla. The
question of new depot was taken
up, remarks were made by Mayor
sSteck and others complaining of the
present depot building and exhibit
ing drawing Of building which is de-
sired by the patrons of the Blue
Ridge Railway Company at Walhalla.
Supt. j. r. Anderson, of the Blue
Ridge Railway Company, agreed to
submit plans to the City Council as
soon as 1t is possible to have same
made, showing q new depot which
his company proposed to build at
Walhalla, stating that in his opin-
ion, the depot would cost $1,5OO.OO,
and that plans will be submitted to
the City Council for their approval
and this Commission notified. Upon
this agreement, the meeting adjourn

l am further instructed to ask If
the plans for the new Walhalla de-
pot have been submitted to the City

agreed? Respectfully yours,
II. B. Lumpkin, Secretary.
The reply sent to this communi-
cation stated in substance that plans
had been submitted by Superintend-
ent Anderson on July 9TH, and on
the same day were accepted by the
members of City Council at their
regular meeting, having also the ap-
proval of members of the Business
Mems League; that Capt. Anderson
had agreed to commence work on
the new depot within seven days af-
ter acceptance of plans, and that so
far no work had been begun nor
notice of any kind given by rail-
way officials. The Railroad Commits
sion was requested to issue orders
for the erection of depot and main
tenance of better passenger facilities
at Walhalla.
By reason of the fact that the JUS
tice and reasonableness of the re-
quest for better accommodations
here were admitted by Superintend-
ent Anderson, Of the Blue Ridge,
who stated that work would begun
at an early date, no order was issued
by the Commission on July I'd, the
same being held up for 80 days. I'm

Col. RObt. T.. Mason.

A correspondent, writing to the
Anderson Mail, makes the following
mention of Col. r. e. Mason's pres
ence at the Piedmont Baptist Asso-
citation at White Plains, Anderson
county, last week:
"Col. r. e. Mason, of Charlotte,
but formerly citizen of this State,
and who Is well known throughout
the Piedmont section of the State as
a champion Of the temperance cause,
was present and spoke Of the evils
attending the coca cola and cigarette
habits, which are undermining the
physical manhood and womanhood
of to-day. The speaker stated that
the evils attending the cigarette
habit are far more than those caused
as the result of strong drink, al
though he made it plain to the large
audience that he was in no sympa-
thy whatever with the liquor traffic,
and scored a strong point against
those who are disposed to compro-
mise with 1t by advocating the dis
pensray.
1.-The preachers who indulge in the
tobacco habit were given a lambast-
ing by the speaker, but in such a
way as to offend none. No man en-
joys being with his friends more
than Mr.. Mason, and he is a famil-
lar and interesting figure at the sing
ng conventions and associations en-
Dtacing the counties Of Oconee, An
deSon and Greenville."

FERrILlzER RATES REDUCED.
State R.R. Commission Lowers Intra-
State Rates on Shipments.

Acting upon complaints that the
State of South Carolina was being
Disseminated against in the mat
ter of fertilizer rates, the State Rail-
road Commission of South Carolina,
after a hearing at which were pres
ent officials of all. roads operating in
this State and with full under.
standing Of conditions following an
investigation of several months, has
reduced the intra-State fertilizer
rates on shipments in South Caro-,
lima.
A circular has been issued men
tioning the following roads: At.
lantic Coast Line, Southern, Sea-
board, Charleston and Western Car
olina, Columbia, Newberry G Law
rehs and the Blue Ridge Railway
Company. The circular gives the
rates from five miles and under to
$50 miles, which is the longest intra-
State line in South Carolina The
rates change the old schedule in
nearly all of the distances and make
il more uniform.
The principal difference in the new
rating and the old is that the rates
have been adjusted to five-mile
breaks, instead Of ten tons, as under
the old schedule.
There was a subcommittee ap.
pointed from the Legislature to re-
quest the Railroad Commission to
Investigate the fertilizer rates, and
this committee appeared before the
commission.
The following is the circular is
sued by the commission:
Circular No. 129. ....

carload, minimum weight 10000
pounds, per ton 1000 pounds appli-
cable between points in South Caro-
linz, on the following roads: Atlantic

THOUSANDS OF yArs HOMELESS.
Confusion Prevails i'm City of Osaka
as Result of Disastrous Fire.

Osaka, Japan, Aug. 1.--Confu-
sion prevails IS result of Satur-
days disastrous fire. Thousands are
homeless and hunger is staring many
In the face. The system of relief
ordered by the municipal authori-
ties is Inadequate. Outside cities
and towns are generously sending
contributions. The number of casu-
alties is not yet determined, but
hundreds are injured and are crowd
ing the hospitals.
The latest estimate is that twenty
thousand buildings were destroyed,
including banks, stock exchange,
museum, government edifices and
factories. While it is impossible to
accurately state the losses they are
given roughly at seven million yen.
1t is s-feared some insurance compa-
MES will fail as a result of the heavy
losses.
The ccnfiagration lasted more than
twenty-five hours, and to-day the
burning section presents q deplora-
Bile sight. The streets were narrow
and the houses were mostly Of wood
construction. Under strong breeze
the buildings were easy prey for the
flames, which jumped to one another
in great rapidity.
Firemen fought valiantly against
lack of water and high wind, and
many Of them fell unconscious while.
working bravely. Belongings of the
people are piled in great heaps along
the railroad tracks from Osaka to
Kobe. An area of over four miles
square, containing some of the city's
handsomest structures, including the
Buddhist Temple, largest in the
world, were entirely burned.
