Live Wire Fatal.

Chester, October 2S.-The body
of Hugh C. Riser, 1908, graduated
at Clemson College, who died at
Great Falls yesterday from the ef-
fects of injuries sustained by coming
in contact with a live wire in the
Power Company, passed through
Chester this morning en- route to
Whitmire for burial, accompanied
by the father of the deceased, G. G.
Riser and several friends. The
young man who fingered for several
hours bore his suffering heroically
and until the end came showed him
self anxious that his mother be not
informed of his terrible injuries, as
he feared the shock would be too
great for her.

Langford Case Continued.

Hampton, Oct. 2S.-J. c. Lang
ford secured a continuation of his
case today on grounds of a previous
understanding between the States
and defendants attorney. In all
probability the State will not proceed
criminally this week against Lang
ford for failure to turn over within
80 days $4,000 to his successor as
treasurer. The bond was fixed at
$4,000 and Langford had no difficult
ty in giving it. Civil cases are being
taken up now and the court will
probably continue until Thursday
next week.

ACCIDENTS IN COTTON MILLS.
Most of Them in the Morning, in
Summer and on Wednesday.

Some interesting figures in regard
to accidents in cotton mills are given
by writer in the Textile Manufac-
turers Journal. The plants whose rec
ords he took were twelve in number,
and with the exception of one in New
Hampshire were South of Mason and
Dixon's line.
Of the total number of accidents
only 42.3 per cent. were the result OF
machinery. The larger percentage
happened on Wednesday, and with
the exception of Saturday the per-
centage of the other days of the week
is generally uniform.
Saturday shows low percentage,
due to two reasons-frst, less work
ing hours that day and in general
less machinery in operation, thus re-
ducing the chance of injury.
A large percentage of the accidents
occurred during the forenoon hours
from to IL, while the lowest per-
centages are shown in the starting
and stopping hours, 6 to 7 p. m. l to
2 and 5 to p. m.
The larger number of accidents oc-
Cured in May, June, July and Au-
gust and the smallest number in
March and December.
81 am unable to explain why more
accidents happens in summer months
than the other periods of the year, "
writes the investigator, unless it is
because of the greater number OF
children employed during school va
cation. It is also possible that more
carelessness or inattention may have
been shown caused by the lassitude
and languor induced by the high tenn
perature of the season.
THE largest number of accidents
occurred to those 16 years of age,
the next smaller number to those Is
and % years of age. The average
time employed before injury was
2.B years. Nearly per cent. of the
entire number of accidents occurred
within a week of the time the par
ties entered upon service at the
plants, about 13 per cent. within a
month, about So per cent. within
year, the balance, AZ per cent, occur
ring between one years service aid
35 years service.
MANY of these accidents were
traceable to the carlessness of the in
jured party, some naturally occurred
by reason of causes unforeseen and
of which the operator was in no case
at fault, and but one fatality occurred
from the 442 accidents noted when
the machinery was in any sense the
agent or contributory.-New York

To Dine in Dry Dock.

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-Five thous-
and people seated comfortably at
dinner in the biggest floating dry dock
in the world at the navy yard here is
the novel experience promised the
delegates to the lakes to the gulf
deep waterways convention next
Tuesday. The unique idea was
sprung at the meeting of the execu-
tive committee and was adopted at
once.
The huge mechanism will be low
cred to the waters edge and tables
set within. Nearly every craft in the
harbor will be pressed into service to
get the guests to the dry dock, which
is inaccessible by land.

FIGHT DOUBLE FATAL DUEL.
Two Mexicans Shoot Each Other at
Wedding Frolic.

Gonzales, Texas, Oct. 31.-In a
duel following a wedding frolic in
the Mexican quarter of the Henry
Cardwell farm two miles North of
Wrightsboro, two men met death
early to-day.
The victims: Demilio Erroyo of
Gonzales, aged 35; Marcus Morales,
aged 20.
There were no witnesses to the
quarrel nor to the fight. The men
went about 20 steps from the build
ing in which the dance was held and
begun firing at each other. Erroyo
was instantly killed and his body fell
across Morales. The latter lived for
about an hour.

One Actress's Experience.

Surely the actor may be forgiven
his frantic desire to appear on Broad
way-after an experience like that
of the actress who tells her story in
the Woman's Home Companion for
November It must have been deep
devotion to art which could survive
an experience like this.
The most amazing was my dis
covery that the ancient ban against
the players, which existed in Rome
and persisted with the Puritans, is
still in force in certain places in "en-
lightened America" A New Eng
land hotel-man told me that many
a players pretty fiat in New York
is furnished with towels marked
Hotel Majestic and spoons stamped
Hotel Newman I'm afraid there's
a grain of truth in what he says. But
I've seen ash trays and such things
in some college rooms that wouldn't
bear too close inspection. I've never
heard, however, that college men
were refused admittance to every
hotel in town, as undesirable citi-
zens." Yet that actually happened to
me in certain town in Ohio.
When 1 reached the town in ques-
tion-it bears the same name as the
seat of a famous university was
i'll. I climbed into a carriage at the
station with my maid, and told the
driver to take us to the better of the
two hotels the town boasted.
''It's no use, MISS he said, ''They
won't neither of 'em take you"
I was dumbfounded, and persisted
in my request. The driver; how
ever, was right Not only would
neither hotel take me, though I
fancy didn't look disreputable even
if 1 did look ill, but neither would
so much as give me supper. They
could not cater to "show-people,"
the proprietors said: I then told
the driver to 60 along the streets,
stopping wherever there was a sign
of boarding house. After a while,
the driver informed me bruskly that
he'd "got to feed his hosses an get
back to the depot" so my maid and
were dumped out into the cold,
dark, muddy streets, with two heavy
handbags, in strange town.

SHOOTS HUSBAND IN CELL.
Chicago Woman Fatally Wounds Man
She Claims Deserted Her.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 2S.-Through
the bars OF the cell where he had been
placed only two hours earlier on a
warrant sworn out by her, charging
abandonment, Mrs. Esther Levy to-
day fatally shot her husband, Abra-
ham, Levy, tailor.
Mrs. Levy visited the cell room of
the police station, where her husband
was confined, and before the startled
lookup keeper had chance to inter-
fere, shot through the bars at Levy,
inflicting fatal wound.
In the building at the time were a
score or more of policemen. Mrs.
Levy had no difficulty in obtaining
permission to visit her husband. She
stood in the corridor of the cage,
talking in low voice to the prison
er, who remained locked in his cell.
Suddenly she drew the revolver,
which had been concealed beneath
her jacket, and fired.
She was taken to the women's an
mex of the station, where she became
hysterical.
The victim of the accident was re-
moved to hospital in an unconscious
condition fom a wound in the abdo-
men.
When Mrs. Levy secured the war
rant for her husbands arrest, she
told the magistrate that Levy had
neglected his home for other women,
and that she had to work as sales
woman to support their four chill
dren.
A prisoner who occupied the cell
with Levy, said Mrs. Levy betrayed
no excitement in conversation with
Levy.
care you coming back to me and
the children" asked the visitor.
"No," answered Levy. 'You put
me here and here I will remain. You
tell your story to the judge"
Mrs. Levy then stepped back a
pace and drew her weapon. Levy
jumping to one side of the cell in an
attempt to dodge the bullet.

train was pulling into the city limits
the mayor caught hold of the whistle
and gave several long blasts, and
just as the engine was about to pull
