An Escape.

From the New York Tribune.
Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy was
being praised OF the piazza OF an At

Mr.. Carnegie said an aged Pitts

He smiled.
Mr. Carnegie attended some years
ago one of my business mems weekday
services. Seeing him in the congrega-

to praying extempore, / said, after the
first hymn:
I'VE will now be led in prayer by

'Mr. Carnegie rose, very red and

Brief Life.

He came with the wind of dawn, when
rose-red clouds were flying;
In the glory OF his coming the old moon
drifted dim.
He went when tho evening star out
watched days quiet dying.
Its path upon the sea made a white,
straight road for him.
Did he dream a wistful dream In some
radiant place supernal?
Did he near the human call, follow and
lose his way?
Has the touch OF earth on the child made
strange to him things eternal?
Is he heir to sorrow and love, being NOR
tai for one swift day?

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Cnnada's Day of Thanks "a Month
Earlier than I'm the United States.
For some reason, better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, u
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more ear
lier than we do. 1t may be that the
Canadian turkey had become impa
tient, and sounded a note OF warning,
or it may be that the frost on the
punkin" declared itself. But what
ever the reason, their Thanksgiving
day Is past. 1t may have been that the
reasons for giving thanks so much ear
lier than we do were pushing them
selves so hard and so fast that the
Canadians were ashamed to postpone
the event. They have had reasons,
and good ones, too, for giving thanks.
Their great broad areas of prairie land
have yielded in abundance and here,
by the way, it is not u~ninteresting TO
the friends of the million of Americans
who have made their home in Canada
during the past few years to know that
they have participated most generous
ly in the cutting of the melon" Prob
ably the western portion Of Canada,
comprising the provinces OF Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, have the
greatest reason of any of the provinces
to express in the most enthusiastic
manner their gratitude. The results
in the line of production give ample
reason for devout thanksgiving to
Providence. This year has surpassed
all others In so far as the total in
creas in the country's wealth is con
cerned. There is no question that
Providence was especially generous.
The weather conditions were perfect.
and during the ripening and harvest
ing period, there was nothing to in
t~erfere. And now It was well it vas
SO, for with a demand for labor that
could not be supplied, there was the
greatest danger, but with suitable
weather the garnering Of the grain
has been successfully accomplished.
There have been low general averages,
but these are accounted for by the fact
that farmers were Indifferent, relying
would do. There will be no more low
averages, though, for this year has
shown what good, careful farming will,
do. 1t will produce 100 million bush
els of wheat from seven million acres,
and it will produce a splendid lot OF
oats, yielding anywhere from so to 100
bushels per acre. This on land that
has cost but from SO to SIS per acre
many farmers have realized sufficient
from this years crop to pay the entire
cost of their farms. The Toronto
Globe says:
"T6e whole population of the West
r~ejoices in the bounty Of Providence,
and sends out a message Of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abound
ed with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good feel.
ing is combined with a spirit of thank
fuiness for the privilege or living in
so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to contem.
plate with satisfaction the comforts of
the present. Thanksgiving should be
a season or unusual enthusiasm"

A Change Of View.

Some time ago Prof. Muensterberg,
of Harvard University, wrote an arti-
Gle opposing the idea Of prohibition.
But he has been studying the matter
more diligently, and has learned
some things. Listen to his later ut
terance:
"There is nothing more degrading
and no more atrocious insult to civil
lized life than the American saloon.
It has poisoned the social atmos-
phere for the masses; in 1t the work.
man squanders his savings and the
healthy man devastates his energies
and becomes q wreck. Political cor
ruption irradiates from the saloon
into the whole public life, and a
thousand ways lead from the saloon
to the penitentiary. 1t Is a blessed
movement which now turns with
Overwhelming energy against the hor-
rors of this evil, and unites the clean
minds of the whole nation in an un-
firing fight against this source of in
fection. There may be disagreements
as to the best ways and means-dls-
agreement whether strict prohibition
or education toward temperance is
the more reliable method; but there
is no disagreement as to the fact
that the saloon has to be wiped out,
and the day seems near indeed when
thanks to the women-the fight
will be taken up in almost every
State.'- '-Christian Index.

Orr Mills Cashier Short.

Anderson, Aug. 3.-Secretary and
Assistant Cashier Calhoun Harris, Of
the Orr cotton mills was arrested this
morning on warrant obtained by
President J. D. Hammett, charging
breach of trust, it being alleged that
he misappropriated $4,000 or more
of the company's funds. Tonight he
is quartered under guard in a room
at the Chiquola hotel and refuses to
give out any statement otherwise
than that he has not misappropriated
one dollar of the company's money
and that everything will be found
all right when the expert accountants
get through with auditing the books.
He admits that his books are tan
gled and that they have been for
some time.
He also admits that he has made
false entries to get balances at differ
ent times.
The first intimation of shortage
came on Tuesday of last week. About
two weeks ago two accountants of
the American Audit Company came
to Anderson to audit the books of
the mills, as is customary about once
year. After working for few
days the experts found one or two
items which did not appear correct.
On further examination it appeared
that Mr.. Harris was short in his &C.
count $4,000 and when his atten-
tion was called to it he said the
showing was correct, but claimed
that it was due to clerical errors.

Postpones Messeryey Trial.

Walterboro, Aug. 2.-The special
term of court called to try J. W. Mes-
servey lasted only about two hours,
during which time Messervey was put
on trial and pleaded not guilty to two
indictments for murder for killing
Constable C. P. Fishburne and ]. D.
Altman on July at Ravenel. His
case was then continued.
The ground for continuance was
the illness of Col. J. G. Padgett, chief
counsel for the defense.
After argument by counsel and the
submission of aff1davits from Col.
Padgett and DR.. Riddick Alderman,
stating that Col. Padgett would be
physically unable to continue in the
trial, Judge shipp decided to grant
continuance. Solicitor Peurifoy has
assisting him in the prosecution
Howell & Gruber and 5as. F. Peurt-
foy. The defendant Is represented
by Padgett & Lemacks.
The largest crowd possibly ever IN
attendance upon court here was pres
ent and the decision Of Judge Shipp
cut short what would have been q
most interesting trial.

For Criminal Assault.

On Thursday afternoon P. P. War
ren, a white man, was committed to
the Aiken jail on very serious
charge, that of assaulting a young
white girl who lives near Wagner,
in the Lybran section.
The assault is alleged to have been
committed on the 5th day Of July,
but only recently the young lady's
parents heard of it. Relatives of the
girl swore out warrant as soon as
it became known to them and War
rem was arrested and committed to
Jail by Magistrate H. B. Garvin.
Warren runs mill, or Is employ
ed at grist mill, and it is here the
assault is alleged to have been COM
mitted one afternoon, when the
young girl went on business. The
young girl was alone there with him
at the time. The girl is only thir-
teen years old, and comes of good
people.
Under a recent law this Is made
a capital offense, and if Warren is
convicted it will mean that he must
suffer the death penalty.-Aiken
Journal and Review.

\ Policeman Shoots Detective.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1.-W. M.
Burgee, a city detective, was shot
through the lung and probably ia
tally injured during raid on an al
legged gambling house here this aft
ernoon. Detective D. NJ. Cornett, who
accompanied him, was fired upon,
but escaped injury. The shooting
was done by w. NJ. Waggoner, spe-
cial police officer. Waggoner and two
other special police officers had
gained entrance to the house and
with pistols drawn had about IL
men standing with their hands up.
Burgee and Cornett, two plain
clothes men, came up the steps on
their regular rounds and Waggoner,
not knowing them, ordered their
hands up. Burgee and Cornett re-
fused and drew pistols. Waggoner
then fired quickly five shots.
The special officers were recently
secretly employed by the mayor and
were not acquainted with members
of the regular police force.

No Principle Involved.

It is self evident to all conserva-
tive thinkers that prohibition, to be
a success, must represent the senti-
ments of a large majority of the citi-
zens. If the coming election should
be carried for prohibition by only
a bare majority, which may have
been created by sentimental appeals,
it evidently will show that prohibi-
ton does not represent the over
whelming sentiment in the county,
and it cannot be enforced.
It must be borne in mind that
in this election there Is no princ1-
pie involved, nor any question OF
morals. The only question is, What
is better for the public good?" and
of this each thinking man will judge
for himself.-Aiken Recorder.

Gevan, August 2.-The Olar base
ball team were entertained Saturday
afternoon on the Govan diamond by
the Govan "Blue Jays" and suffered
q walk-over defeat
It was quite humiliating to the
OIarites, owing to the fact that they
have heretofore easily beaten the Co
van team.
There were many spectators from
OIar present, including a number Of
the fair sex, coming as usual to cheer
the would-be successful Olar boys,
but to their sorrow and disappoint-
ment the demonstration came from
the other side.
The score ran 9 to on four and
one-half innings. The game was
called on account of rain. The other
half would have been played by Olar
to make even. n.

FARMER KILLED BY TRAIN.
Mule Stops on the Tracks and Engine
Crashes into Buggy.

Union, July 3l.-William Lawson,
a white farmer of the West Springs
section of this county, was instantly
killed about o'clock this afternoon
on a crossing one mile north of
Union, where the highway landing to
Buffalo and West Springs crosses the
Southern Railroad, by the passenger
train from Lockhart. L. E. Frike
and James Petty we're in the road just
behind Mr.. Lawson when the sad ac-
cident occurred. These men say that
they heard the engineer sound his
whistle several times, and they think
Mr.. Lawson heard the signals also, as
he apparently whipped the mule he
was driving as if to get over the
crossing ahead of the train, and that
he got on the track, but here his
mule stopped. Lawson then made an
effort to Jump from his buggy, but
the engine of the approaching train,
which was running backward, as 1t
always does, struck him. His body
was horribly mutilated, the head,
arms and legs being scattered and
the body reduced to an indisinguish-
able mass. The mule escaped un-
hurt, but the buggy was demolished,
and scattered for some distance along
the track.
Coroner Hames went Immediately
to the scene, organized jury, viewed
the remains, and adjourned the in
quest over till tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Lawson was 76 years Of age,
successful farmer, and good citizen.
He leaves a wife and two sons, and a
daughter.
The crossing, where this tragedy
occurred is IN exceedingly dangerous
one. The railway track is in deep
cut, north Of the public road, and an
approaching train coming into Union,
cannot be seen by one on the highway
until it is on the crossing. Numerous
collisions have occurred there, and
steps should be taken to do away
with this cut.

away with and would remain that
way it would be a grand thing, es-
pecially for boys growing up. They
would make better men, and our
State would be better of.
