Passenger Trains Collide.

Greenville, Nov. Train No. 16
from. Greenville to Columbia and
train No. II, coming north, met in a
head-on collision tonight near She'd
der, not far from Belton. One engine
was badly torn up but there was no
fatalities so far as can be learned to-
night.
1t seems that orders were left at
Williamson for No. 16 to meet No.
II at Shedder, about half way be-
tween Williamson and Bolton. No.
16 failed to get the orders at Will
iamston and the engineer of No. 16
evidently thought the two trains
would meet at the usual place, Bel
ton. No. II left Belton at $50.
Just before reaching Shedder the two
trains came together head on. Sched-
ules are badly disarranged

Tillman on Rockefeller.

Senator Tilman, who was here to-
day on account of the examination
for the appointments to Annapolis,
expressed himself as much pleased
with the Rockefeller gift of million
dollars for a campaign against the
hook worm disease.
"While was in Washington, said
he, CDR. Stiles came around to my
rooms and gave me very interesting
insight into the subject with talk
illustrated by his stereopticon views.
There appears to be enough in the
scare to warrant a thorough investi-
CATION, and I believe the Rockefeller
gift will be of great benefit. 1t won't
hurt Rockefeller, and spending the
money down here can't hurt US.
"But as l am able to see the mat
ter, it appears to me that DR.. Stiles
and the other experts have made a
false step in this respect: They point
out how the disease is taken in
through the feet on account of the
children going barefooted. I know 1
went barefooted until was great
big fellow, as did many of my ac-
VIC uOfSl AOol VI oDOuI
the hookworm disease then. I don't
think anybody will ever accuse me of
ever having any symptoms Of the
disease.
However, l think Rockefeller
would accomplish much more good
with his millions if he were to de-
vote some of them to the education
of the poor whites of the South. That
is the most important thing to be
DONE"
The senator was reminded that the
oil king had already given many mil
lions to the cause of education in the
South and all over the country.
"But," exclaimed the senator,
swearing a bit, but not for publica-
ton, che has placed his money in the
hands of blooming old boards COM
posed Of people who do not under
stand US down here and it will go
for the wrong sort of education"
Laughing, the senator inquired
how the fund was getting on to raise
the $40 for his ticket to the Taft
banquet.
II see this crowd here is trying to
have some fun out of me about that
ticket, but from what l can observe
it looks to me more like case of dry
grins on their part. .'-Columbia

Teach the Boys and Girls to Work.

Teach the Boys and Girls to Work.
We must not, however, make the
mistake of allowing children to grow
up in idleness without some regular
fixed duties to perform. No person
has any right to live and enjoy the
privileges and pleasures of this life
who does not work. The more clear
ly and forcibly this Is impressed on
the boy and girl by requiring them
to give something in the way Of def
mite regular service for what they
receive, the more wholesome view Of
labor and the responsibilities Of life
will they acquire.
Usually if the parents are hard
workers, the children are required to
work, and as a rule we believe too
much labor is required of the boys
on the farm, but there are parents
who make slaves of themselves to
maintain their children in idleness.
This is worse than either over-work
or idleness for all. The boys and
girls kept in idleness while their
fathers and mothers slave for their
comfort and maintenance are almost
certain to develop supreme selfish
ness, as well as habits Of idleness,
which will remain throughout life

Would Raise Price of Yarns.

Charlotte, N. G. Nov. 1.-For the
purpose of ascertaining if parity can
not be established between the price
of cotton and the selling price of
yarns a committee representing the
North Carolina cotton manufacturers
will leave for New York city Thurs
day to hold a conference with the
yarn commission men. C. E. Hutch
inson of the Woodlawn mills of
Mount Holly is chairman of this
committee, and he will select the
other members. The mill men believe
that the commission men, who hold
a strategis position between the
manufacturer and the buyer, can aid
the Southern mills in putting yarns
on a more profitable basis, the sell
ing price at this time being ruinous
to the manufacturers.

Power Wire Stops Train.

Rock Hill, Oct. 28.-The passenger
train that leaves this place at 1855
in the morning for Kingsville, via
Lancaster and Camden, was delayed
about two hours and half at Less
lies Station yesterday morning on ac-
count of the wires Of the Southern
Power company's lines breaking
where they cross the railroad, near
that place.
Fortunately some one heard the
noise when the wires broke, and
when the train reached Lesslie's in
formed Capt Mcclure, who was in
charge of the train, that they were
down, and after running his train
down to the point where the wires
were down, and seeing that it was
impossible to get by without coming
in contact with them, ran back to
Lesslie's and he and Mr.. Dixon Less
lie of that place got into an automo-
bile and. came to this place, 'phoned
the power company to cut off the
current and get some linemen, who
went down and cut the wires out of
the way
IL was very fortunate tnlnS IHdl
the break did not occur in the night
time, as your correspondent is in
formed that one of the wires was
down to where it would have struck
the smoke stack of the engine about
two feet below the top, and the pos
sibility is that had they run into it
at night the engineer and fireman,
and probably others on the train,
would have been electrocuted as the
wires are the main ones leading from
Great Falls to the plant on the Ca
tawba, above this city and carry a
tremendous voltage.

NEGRO CAPTURED.
Coot Lever Arrested Near Chaplin
Last Night.

Chaplin, Nov. 1.-Coot Lever was
captured at the home of John Reaze,
a negro, at o'clock tonight and is
now, at II p. M, well on his way to
Lexington in a buggy, in the custody
of deputy sheriff Miller and Roof, a
mob of 100 men, which came to
Chaplin, having been evaded.
Lever was captured by Deputy Mil
ler and Mr.. Eleazer and has confess
ed to them that he made the attempt
ed assault.
Soon after the negro was brought
to Chaplin a crowd of about 100 men
approached the station here. The
negro was hustled some distance
down the railroad track. and then
through briars and bushes. Then he
was placed in buggy and the depu-
ties, as stated, hurled away with him
towards Lexington.
The crowd at the station tagged
the Southbound Columbia, Newberry
& Laurens train and searched it
some members of the mob going on
the train towards Columbia.
The intended victim of the negro
was choked and has bruises on her
neck and shoulders, but Is not seri-
ously hurt. She screamed, tie hus-
band of the woman came to the res
cue and the negro ran.
While at the station members of
the mob asked questions as to the
negro's whereabouts, none of which
were answered. The members Of the
mob were armed with pistols and
clubs.
Lever, the negro, is a young fel-
low. There is no doubt as to his
guilt.

TAKESS JOHNSON AS TEXT

New York.-Jack Johnson's title
to the heavyweight championship OF
the world was the basic theme tonight
in a sermon preached by Booker T.
Washington to the Negro Mems Busi-
ness League of New York. The fight
er's name was not mentioned, how
ever.
I'm the last analysis" DR.. Wash
ington told his hearers, success is
what counts. Success, despite race or
color, makes the man on top respect
you. What the world wants is sue
cess. Don't herald your gloom.
you remember when a certain
member of our race went to Australia
to do a job; warnings were sounded
that the color line would be drawn.
The question was hurled at him.:
'Arn't you afraid in that white mans
country?'
Nov suppose he had gone to Aus
tralia crestfallen, saying he was a
negro and much oppressed. Would
he have won? 1t was Godsend that
he did win. 1t shows to the negro
race what determination will do.
"The time has come when a negro
must get a commercial, business and
economical footing and get it in this
generation or fail in ever getting it.
Commerce, the dollar, draws no color
line. The man who produces what
somebody else wants gets there"
