FUNERAL WAS TOO LONG.
Abbeville Newspaper Says Speakers
Eulogized Themselves Instead of
the Deceased.

In its account Of the funeral Of the
Rev. J. Lowgie Wilson, the AbbevllIe
Press and Banner has the following to
say: Every seat was occupied. Stand
inc room was all taken, and many
who came little late fingered about
the door without. coming in. The day
was warm, but it IS presumed that
those who had seats were comfortable
enough. Those who had standing
$: ats were tired out long before the
expiration of the hour and a halt TO
which time the services were pro
longed.
The Rev. Mr.. Law read the Scrip
lures and delivered talk which had
not been carefully digested or rea-
sonably we'll prepared.
After singing and prayer, the Rev
Mr.. Gregg talked for long time IN
commonplace.
Our own judgment is, that the fl'-
neral services were not up to what
might have been expected OF so good
a man as DR.. Wilson, while they were
cruelty long,
Even in the prayers there was a
dearth of thankfllness for the Life OF
the GOOD man who had so long labor
ed amongst us, and who had so lately
entered upon that great sleep WHICH
men call death.
We are inclined to think that on
occasions of. this kind it may reason
ably be assumed that the Lord knows
little of us and for this reason the
speaker need not bore waiting audi,
ence with commonplace recital OF
facts that are known to us all.
It is simply next to unpardonable
to keep an audience waiting for an
hour and a half that the speaker:
may talk of themselves instead OF eu'
logizing or portraying the character
Of the dead.

HAYNE BUFoRD WOUNDED.
Has Alteration With Negro Hotel
Porter at the Depot in Lau-
renS.

Lanrens, July 18.-In an alterca-
ton at the passenger station early
this morning with Rich Curry, a negro
hotel porter, Hayne Buford, son OF
Sheriff Bufora. cf Newberry, and mail
clerk on the c::ixed train between Lau-
rens and Columbia, received a pam
full wound. Curry assaulted Mr.. Bu-
ford with a large rock, striking him
in the head near the ear, cutting an
ugly wound. He was knocked to the
ground by the terrific blow, but, as
sisted by companion, Buford arose
and fred several shots at the negro
as he was beating hasty retreat
from the scene. Curry was arrested
and locked up, while Mr.. Buford was
removed to his boarding house and
eiven immediate medical aid.
1t appears that Mr.. Buford had had
a previous clash with the negro,
Curry, and when he met with the por-
ter at the station this morning, he
undertook to punish him with a cane
for his alleged offensive conduct ?
few weeks ago. The negro, somewhat
noted as a fighter, jerked up handy
stone and hurled it at Buford with
the result above indicated.

WORLDS LONGEST RAILWAY.
Capetown- Cairo Line Will be Fin
ished in Three Years.

F. Won Gheel Gildemeester, chief
engineer Of the Cape Town-Calro
Railway syndicate, now in charge of
the operations which, within a few
years, will form the connecting link
between North and South Africa, IS
stopping at the Waldorf Astoria. He
is in the United States to make a
study Of the railway systems Of this
country, says the New York Times.
"In the Cape Town-Cairo rail-
way" said Nh. Gildermeester, there
is at present stretch Of about 1900
miles to be completed. 1t lies be-
tween Khartoum, in the Bristish
Egyptian Soudan, to Broken Hill, a
point in Rhodesia. It is estimated
that this remaining mileage will be
completed within three years, and
then the longest railroad in the world,
covering in the neighborhood Of 6,4oO
miles, will be fnished.'
"What do estimate the total cost
to be? Very close to 81 ,OOO,O ,OOO,0OO,
I should say, but comparatively
small amount when it is considered
what glorious thing it will be for
Africa, one of the greatest and rich
est countries of the world. 1t will
he possible for the traveller to jour-
ney from Berlin or Paris to Cape
Town in ten or eleven days-just think
Of that! And then it will open up a
country that is rich in almost every
thing in the mineral world-gold, sill
yer, copper and diamonds. What else
they will find there remains to be
seen.
"It's a great work, is this build
ing Of the longest railway, and what
it all means to Africa and the world
is not fully appreciated, [ am afraid.
To the business man, to be found ev-
erywhere, and especially those having
affairs in Africa, it will be wonder
full thing. Where now, in travelling
from Paris for example, he is COM
PEELED to take a long sea trip, he
will be able, after the completion of
the road, to take train to Brindisi,
Italy, thence by boat to Alexandria,
Egypt, and short journey to Cairo,
where he will take the train that will
land him in Cape Town, at the south
ern extreme Of Africa, all in eleven
days. Just at the present time We
are working in a rather disagreeable
country-that is to say, country
which has fair climate, but fever
is quite prevalent. The engineers on
the work are German, American and
English, with, Of course, the Kaftir as
the laboring factor.''
