Killed by Train.

Edgefeld, Oct. 19.-Mr. L. F.
Dorm, of Parksville, was struck by
an engine at Trenton this morning
and instantly killed. Mr.. Dorm had
just left the train from Augusta and
was watching this train as it pulled
out from the station, standing near
the track on which the Edgefeld train
was operating and facing the outgo-
ing Columbia train. The tender of
the engine which was backing on the
Edgefeld track struck him from the
rear on the shoulder and as he fell
he received another stroke from the
boards, causing immediate death.
Mr.. Dorm was one of the most use
full and prominent citizens Of the
county, high up in the councils of the
Baptist denomination, one of the trus-
tees of Furman university and the To-
cal manager of the Twin City Power
company. His tragic death has cast
a gloom over the entire community.

To Fight Freight Increase.

Cincinnati, Oct. 19.-That any pro-
posed advanced in freight rates will
disturb existing business conditions
and that such an advance is not justi-
fed and will be vigorously contested
by the leading shippers organizations
of the country was the tenor Of reso-
lutions adopted at meeting of the
representatives of shippers and other
commercial organizations from many
parts of the country.
The day was devoted to discus
sion of the freight situation and it
was determined to begin strong op-
position to the known pending ad-
vances in rates. A committee was
created to educate the public on
freight rates and to have full power
in dealing with that subject.
A pamphlet entitled "The Dimin-
ished Purchasing Power of Railway
Earnings" issued by the chairman OF
the Trunk Line association, was held
to be the forerunner of an increase in
freight rates. The committee ap-
pointed to educate the public was
specifically charged to prepare pam
phlet for circulation showing discrep-
ancies and omissions in the associa-
tion's pamphlet.

Stray Shot Hit Woman.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 18.-Mrs
George Harris, wife of Jackson
business man, was shot and perhaps
mortally wounded last night by a
stray bullet fired by Charley Grape
wine, a hotel porter, at another negro,
striking her in the stomach. Mrs.
Harris is a young married woman,
daughter of the late Dan Sullivan.
She was standing on the street cor
ner with her husband when shot and
fell to the pavement. She was carried
to a hospital where the surgeons pro-
nounced her wounds serious. Her
corset stays DETECTED the bullet.
A crowd of white men and boys
seized the negro and but for the
timely arrival of the police he would
have been lynched. He was badly
beaten and slightly cut with knives
before rescued.
The affair created great excitement
and Mayor Grower communicated
with Adjutant General Fridge as to
troops to guard the Jail, but it was
decided to be unnecessary.

More "Conscience" Money.

Columbia, Oct. 1S.-If the wires
that were kept burning tonight be-
tween Columbia and Cincinnati speak
the truth, Dennis Weiskopf, Of the
Ohio city, will be used by the State
as a witness in the famous label deal
case when the dispensary trials are
taken up again, and the State of
South Carolina will have $500 add
ed to the conscience fund that now
is deposited with the dispensary wind
ing-up-commission.
That this announcement is correct
there is no doubt as the information
comes from an authoritative source,
Linked with the startling assertion
that the member of the firm of Nivi-
son and Weiskopf has turned states
evidence is the information that in
the bank at Cincinnati there is on de-
post the $500 which is practical
admission that the firm overcharged
the State in the label deap' that is
now known from one end of the coun-
try to the other.
Attorney General Lyon has nothing
to say to the confirmed rumors that
reached the city tonight. However,
the Attorney General states that bond
has been arranged for Dennis Weis-
kopf in the sum of $4,000. Weis-
kopf is under Indictment in the label
case and also for perjury in connec-
ton with testimony he gave before
the dispensary investigating commit
tee in 1905.

BOY WANTED TO BE A HERO.
Flagged 1S-Hour Flyer and Toli
Weird Tale of Train Wreckers.

Lewiston, Pa, Oct. 15.-The Penn
sylVania Railroads eighteen hour
flyer from New York to Chicago was
halted at 9.25 o'clock last night at
Juniata bridge, a lonely spot, 16
miles west of Harrisburg, by the
swinging of a red lantern across the
tracks. AS the train came to stand
still, John Kretzinger, II years old,
living at Duncannon, near here,
walked up to the locomotive, and re-
ported to Engineer Harry Greenwood
that two men had forced him to car
ry a heavy rock on the tracks for the
purpose of wrecking the train.
Members of the train crew investi-
gated, but were unable to find any
rocks on the tracks, and the boy was
taken to Duncannon, where he was
examined by Capt. c. c. Port of the
Pennsylvania railroad police. The boy
finally confessed that he alone was
responsible for the stopping of the
train. The police say his idea was
either to make himself a hero or to
receive a reward.

"Night Riders" Threaten Farmer.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 19.-No word
has been received of the movements
of a detail Of soldiers ordered out
from Cynthiana last Saturday night
but it is believed they are on the way
to Bath county where it is reported
several farmers have been warned by
night riders to pool their tobacco.
Gov. Wilson to-day refused to discuss
the night rider trouble.
A special from Mason county says
the following note was found pinned
to the door of the residence of Fred
Adams to-day:
Fred Adams and Wife: We give
you just five days to sign your tobacco
to the Mason county board Of control
or one of it's solicitors, and if at the
end of that time we find you have not
signed you will have to suffer the
consequences"
The note was signed 'Braken Coun-
ty Night Riders"
Adams says he will not sign.

STANDING OF LIFE FREE PASSES.
Interesting Railroad Situation to be
Passed Upon by Supreme Court.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE validi-
ty of the anti-free pass section of the
Hepburn railroad rate law came up
in the supreme court to-day on mo-
ton for the advancement of the ap-
peal of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad from the judgment OF the
Kentucky court Of appeals holding it
to be constitutional.
The railroad in the settlement of a
claim for personal injuries % years
ago agreed to carry Erasmus L. Mot
ley and his wife or Bowling Green,
Ky, over it's lines free for the rest Of
their lives and issued them annual
passes until the Hepburn act went in
to effect. The Motleys then brought
suit to compel the performance Of
the contract, and the kentucky courts
so ordered, taking the ground that
the passes to be issued under the con-
tract were not free passes within the
meaning of the act, as they were for
value received. The court to-day took
the motion under advisement.

ROWDY NEGROES ARRESTED.
Participants in Free Fight at Cope
Lodged in Guard House.

Cope, October lion last night
about 9.15 o'clock two or three ne
groes got into a fight, but quieted
down. Later on, from IL to l
o'clock, the fight was renewed and
several others took a hand, and for
a time quite a little war was carried
on. The council was dissolved here
some time ago, so Magistrate D. W.
Bonnet and several citizens took a
hand in the affair, and soon had Ben
Reed, jeremiah Henderson and Simon
Henderson behind the bars. Josiah
Sumter was also arrested, but made
his escape later on. This morning,
when Mr.. Bonnet went to arrest
Sumter, he defed the magistrate and
stated that he would not be taken
alive. Mr.. Bonnet telephoned Sheriff
Salley of the situation and then sent
several citizens to guard Sumter's g
house until the sheriff arrived. While
MAGISTRATE Bonnet was at the phone
Sumter took leave of absence, and
went to Bamberg to see Mr.. John
Cope, ffor whom he works. to get
Mr.. Cope to stand between him and
LQc law. AS SOOu 40 ~ "oo ASoA oSN
that he had gone to Bamberg Messrs:
Vernon Brabham, w. H. Smith and
Roy Hoover hurried to Bamberg in
Mr.. Brabham's auto, and found their
quarry in Mr.. Cope's back yard. He
was soon given a seat and whirled
back to Cope and put in the guard
house with the other prisoners. A
little later on Sheriff Salley, with his
clerk, Mr.. Tom Salley, arrived at
Cope to find that he had taken a
fourteen-mile ride for nothing. There
are five prisoners in the lookup and
warrants are out for the arrest OF
three or four more. There will be a
preliminary held tomorrow, and 1t
is safe to say that the offenders will
be severely punished, as the people
Of Cope are becoming tired of the
law-breaking that has been going on
for some time.

COLUMBIA TO BORROW FLAGS
War Department to Lend Stars and
Stripes for Use on Taft Day.

Lexington, Oct. 15.-Several days
ago, Secretary Of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Hon. c. w. Moor
man, asked Congressman Lever to
interest himself in securing the loan
of flags from the war department
for decorative purposes on the occa-
sion of the visit Of the president of
the United States to Columbia on No
vember 9Th. Mr.. Lever took the
matter up with the quartermaster
general of the United States army,
and is this morning in receipt of a
letter from that official to the effect
that the acting secretary of war has
authorized the loan of such number
of flags as can be spared for use on
this occasion, and it is only necessary
now for the city of Columbia to COM
ply with certain requirements Of the
department to secure all the flags it
will need for decorative purposes
when the Taft smile shall break upon
Columbia.

OFFICE SEEKING THE MAN
SPECULATION AS TO NEW PRESI'
DENT AT CLEMSON.
Committee is Considering the Names
of a Number of Good Men, 1t
is Understood.

The committee of Clemson Col.
lege trustees, appointed to select q
successor to DR.. P. H. Nell, who re-
signed as president Of Clemson Col
lege some time ago, his resignation
to take effect as soon as suitable
successor could be named, has beer
very active of late, though nothing
definite has been given out as to just
what has. been accomplished. The
movements of the several members
of the committee, however, their Wis
it's to certain localities, etc., indicate
positively that the names OF NUMBER
of strong men are being considered
among them Dr.. J. S. Moffatt, presl'
dent of Erskine College, Due West;
DR.. Henry n. Snyder, president OF
Wofford College, Spartanburg; DR.
K. G. Matheson, president OF the
Georgia School of Technology, At
lanta; Prof. o. J. Bond, superintend'
ent Of the Citadel, Charleston; Dr.
Andrew Sledd, former president OF
the university Of Florida, and Prot
Paul Presley, a member Of the facul'
ty of Erskine College, Due West.
A short time ago it was rumored
that DR.. Snyder would be rendered
the presidency of Clemson, but this
later proved to be incorrect, at least
in so far that the members Of the
committee stated that as yet they
are ready to make. no announcement
He is an able man for the place
and would no doubt serve Clemson
with a great deal of good to the
college and honor to himself.
But all Of the men whose names
are mentioned above are suited to
the presidency of the college. DR..
Moffatt has for the past two years
been president of Erskine and before
that time was minister in the A. r.
P. church. DR.. Matheson is a ma
tive Carolinian, Presbyterian min
lister and has served the Georgia
School of Technology with credit.
Prof. Bond has for years been super
intendent of the Citadel, and is ia
miliar with the duties that would be
required of him at Clemson. In ad-
dition he is a man of military train
ing, and this, with his other attain
ments, make him a most suitable man
for the head of affairs at Clemson.
DR.. Sledd was until a short time ago
president of the University Of Florida
and has a strong following. He is a
most able man. Prof. Presley has
had long experience in the training
of the minds of young men and would
fill the position with credit.
From the list as here presented 1t
would seem there is no end to the
available list of good men for the
place, yet the committee has not as
yet reached a decision; at least, the
members say they are not ready to
make an announcement, and it is OF
course, not known who will be Dr.
Mell's successor.
The presidency of Clemson is a
hard position to fill, but it is believed
that among the number of prospec-
tive presidents mentioned above
there are many who could fill 1t with
credit both to the institution and to
themselves.

Last week we received an invita-
tion to attend the luncheon to be
given to President Taft, in Columbia
and accompanying this invitation was
a letter stating that a ticket would
be issued to us on receipt of our
check for $40. The same day we re-
ceived an invitation to attend the
banquet in Charleston to be given
President Taft, and with this invita-.
ton we were not asked for any
check. This is a striking contrast
between the Columbia and Charles
ton way Of doing things.
