THROWN FROM LEVER CAR
r. L. Smith, Bridge Foreman, Victim
of Accident Near Eutawville.

Ferguson, Oct. PA sad accident
occurred last night on the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad track near Eu.
taw Springs. R. L. Smith, of Tennes'
see, was thrown from a hand car and
injured internally and died in Eutaw'
vile last night.
Mr.. Smith was going from Fergu'
son to Eutawville on a hand cal
worked by four negroes, and when
the party came to a very sharp curve
in the track near Eutaw Springs
they struck a heavy piece of timber
which had evidently been placed
there by some heartless person with
evil intent. The speed at which the
car was going, combined with the
sharp curve, caused the car to be
thrown from the track. Mr.. Smith
was thrown from his seat against the
ties, causing his shoulder to be brok-
en-. The negroes were also thrown
off but their injuries were very
slight. After a delay of few min
utes the car was again placed on the
track and the party started for Eu-
tawville.

place and told of his accident but in
sisted that no physician should be
called as his injuries were very
slight. In very short time he
seemed to be in so much pain that
his wife summoned DR.. E. o. Horger
to his bedside and upon examination
he found that there were internal in
juries. The patient rallied upon the
use of hypodermic injections but
soon became unconscious and died
during the night.
It seems that there are several
motor cars used on the branch of the
Coast Line railroad between Eutaw-
Vile and Ferguson with the permis-
sion of the railroad authorities, and
it is supposed that some cruel per-
son, desiring to derail one of these
cars, had placed a heavy piece of
timber on the track.
Mr.. Smith was a bright young man
in the employ of the Cypress Lum-
Der company in constructing the steel
bridge across the Santee river. He
held the position of assistant fore
man. He leaves a very young wife.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The Barnwell Association was well
attended and we'll entertained by
Bethel church and community. Bam-
berg church was honored by having
one of her deacons, DR.. J. B. Black
chosen as moderator. The various
interests of the denomination were
well represented by leading brethren
The reports from the churches
showed a good increase in contribu-
tions to the various objects Of bene-
ficence.
The next session will be held with
the St. Johns church, near Ehrhardt,
and begin on Tuesday instead OF
Thursday as was done this time.
The pastor Sunday morning, in
stead of preaching regular sermon,
after giving a brief report of the as
sociation, made retrospective and
prospective talk on his work here, In
which he formally accepted the call
for an indefinite length Of time.
The church in conference appointed
a committee of five to formulate and
present a plan for the financial work
of the church for the ensuing year.
Some brethren from Springtown
church were present desiring to ar
range with our church to use our
pastor for one Sunday in the month.
While this desire was fully appre-
ciated, the church did not think it
wise to make any break in the regu-
lar services. Good pastors for our
country churches is an important
problem for the good of the cause in
general. The forming of pastorates
by our country churches seems to be
the only happy solution of the matter.
The union meeting for this section
of the Association will be held with
Bethesda church next Saturday and
Sunday. Pastor Frier will preach
there Sunday morning but will fill his
pulpit here at night.

TWO NEGROES ARRESTED.
Charged With Tamrering With An
other Persons Mail.

Aiken, Oct. 25.-Frank Archer
and Mary Johnson, both colored, have
been arrested in this city on charge
of tampering with the United States
mails. They will probably be carried
before the United States commission
er at Edgefeld for a preliminary
hearing to-day, and the case is SO
strong against them that there is
little probability of their escaping
punishment.
A few days ago Archer called at
the Aiken post office and asked fol
Eva Glover's mail. He got letter
for her. After leaving the post Office
for a short time he came back and
brought money order payable TO
Eva Glover to the money order win
dow. He was informed by the clerk
that he could not collect the order.
He went away and in few minutes
Mary johnson came in, bringing the
order. She was asked if she was Eva
Glover and she answered in the aftir-
native. The clerk told her she
would have to be identified and
she then brought Archer for this
purpose, who vouched for her iden-
tity as the Glover woman. Post
master Carman overheard the con-
versation and as he happened to
know Eva Glover he promptly re-
fused to pay the order and, after they
left he went out on the street, and
getting Chief of Police Howard, had
them arrested. The chief recovered
the letter and money order from
Archer's pocket. The negroes at first
staunchly denied any knowledge OF
the affair, affirming that they had
not been to the post Office that day,
but there were several employees of
the Office to identify them, and they
soon weakened and partially con-
fessed to the crime.
The order was for 50. Archer says
that he was swinging the letter in
his hand when the order fell from
the envelope and then he tried to get
the money. A postofice detective
came to Aiken a day or so ago to in
vestigate the matter.

TAFT 'PossUM DESTRUCTIVE.
Chews Up Mail During Night and
Practical Joker May be Punished.

Leesville, La, Oct. 23.-A short
time ago a party of young people of
this city went on an old fashioned
'possum hunt, capturing several of
the animals. Sometime during the
same night some one placed an oppos-
sum in the package apartment of the
postofice and addressed to President
Taft.
1t was found the next morning by
the postmaster after the animal had
chewed up and destroyed all the mail
in the box.
The matter has been preferred to
the postal authorities and what was
started as a practical joke may re-
suit in serious trouble to the perpe-
traitors. The inspectors in the de-
partment are at work on the case.

BOY IS STILL HYPNOTIZED.
College Student Put Him Into 8
Trance, But Can't Bring Him To.

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 22.-One of
the new students at the Connecticut
Agricultural college at Storrs is some
thing of hypnotist. In a a spirit of
fun he advertised that he would give
a show and invited the students to
attend.
Among others he hypnotized a fel-
low student named White, the son OF
a minister. The hypnotism was a
complete success and the student
was the recipient of considerable
praise for his feat, but when he was
ready to bring his victim "to" again
he couldn't do it.
Doctors were called in and it was
more than thirty hours before White
came out of his hypnotic trance. Since
then he has been in sort of stupor
DR.. w. L. Hoggins, of South Coven'
try, was called to see the student and
has been doing all he can to restore
the boy to his normal condition.

Don't be q Kicker.

If you are a kicker and see the
shadows of failure in everything that
is proposed to help the town, for
heavens sake go into some secluded
canyon and kick your own shadow on
the clay bank, and give the men who
are working to build up the town a
chance. One long-faced, hollow-eyed,
whining, Gaping, chronic kicker can
do more to keep away business and
capital from a town than all the
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs,
cyclones and blizzards combined.

A GENTLE GARDENER

saw an old man wedding in his sunny
garden bed
come tell me why your vegetables do SO
we'll" I said.
And joyfuliy he answered me in tone both
glad and sweet:
az manage them with kindness, SIR never
beat beet
I do not call the caulflower too early in the
year
Nor from the stalks too rudely pull the corn
off by the ear.
NV onions understand that. while they re
strong, I'm firm and meek.
But when l pick them know do not PICK
them out pique.
1 never turn thre turnips out of bed tn
they are ripe.
Nor root a rutabaga up for any other type.
I'm sorry for the sorrel and 1 oft ap-
pease the peas
I never sell the celery, but let 1t blanch at
ease:
parse the parsley and the parsnip each as
proper noun;
In cabs l take the cabbages to ride about
the town.
I do not spin the spinach, though this is
the age to spin.
Because 1 know that green's are slow to
like the city din.
never tell the cucumber to cumber UP elss
space
Nor round the rhubarb put barbed wire to
make it keep its place.
do not pump the pumpkins when they do
not wish to speak,
Nor do I check the chicory nor solder up a
leek
You see, the plan Is simple 1t is kindness
nothing more"
And in the sunny garden he went wedding
as before

~ to her pet dog who was

alone"
Alice ran to the window and
Feeped out. 1t was just growing
dusk and she said to herself, Il

my darling before the bright
moon and twinkl1ng stars will
have to light up the darkness of
my pathway"
So she tiptoed through the
hall and softly closed the door
after her.
Little Alice and Teddie were
soon flying down the garden
walk, then crossing the meadow
ard entering the woods in search
of the lost doll.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
found Alice was gone they start
ed out to find their little daughter.
1t was now dark. The moon
and stars illumined Alice's wood

see but a short distance ahead.
Still the little child journeyed
on into the dense forest in search
of the lost treasure.

IN HERE was once a young man

11ENE was OJlCe young Dldn
who wanted to go on a jour
a ney. His mother provided
him with sacks of dried meat and
pairs of moccasins, but his father
said to him:
Here, my son, are four magic
arriws. When you are in need,
shoot one of them |"
The young man went forth
alone and hunted in the forest for
many days. Usually he was sue
cessful, but day came when he
was hungry and could not find
meat Then he sent forth one of
the magic arrows, and at the end
of the day there lay a fat bear
with the arrow in his side. The
hunter cut out the tongue for his
meal, and of the body of the bear
ne made a thank-ofering to the
Great Mystery"
Again he was in need, and again
in the morning he shot a magic
arrow, and at nightfall beside his
campfire he found an elk lying
with the arrow in his heart.
Once more he ate the tongue
and offered up the body as sac
rifice. The third time he killed
a moose with his arrow and the
fourth time buffalo.
After the fourth arrow had
been spent the young man came
one day out of the forest, and be-
fore him there lay great circu-
lar village of skin lodges. At one
side, and some little way from
the rest of the people, he noticed
a small and poor tent where an
old couple lived all alone. At the
edge of the wood he took off his
clothes and hid them in hollow
tree. Then, touching the top of
his head with his staff, he turned
himself into little ragged boy
and went toward the poor tent.
Complete this story, telling what
greeting the boy received from the OLD
couple, what further use he made OF
his magic arrows and under what cir
cumstances he resumed his proper
character and attire
The prize for the best story will be
round trip ticket to Redondo Beach, en-
trance to the beautiful new plunge and
bath house and rides on the human
roulette wheel for one, or if the prize
winner lives too far from the city to
take advantage of this offer she may
choose the book or the alternate prize
instead.

side of the paper, leaving margins at
the top and side of each page. Address
