J. W. Livingston Killed
Bv Passenger Train,

J. W. Livingston, travelling man,
was killed by the Southern's passen-
ger train No. 8, between Batesburg
and Hibernia Saturday morning.
From the statement of the engineer
in charge of the train it seems that
the man intended ending his own life,
or else his mind was unbalanced.
He was walking directly toward the
train and the engineer sounded the
warning, but instead of getting off
the track he deliberately turned his
back toward the approaching train
and calmly waited for it to strike him.
His mangled form was picked up by
the train crew and hurried to Bates
burg, where DR.. w. P. Tim norman
did everything possible to prolong
life, but the unfortunate man soon
breathed his last.
CoronerB. D. Clarke concluded the
inquest on Monday, the verdict of the
jury being that the deceased came to
his death by being struck by train.
Mr.. Livingston was a son-in-law OF
Col. Edmund Bacon of Columbia, and
was prominently connected in the
upper part of the State. He leaves a
wife and two small children.

Dear sir:-In my first reply 1 an
swered every question raised by
"Critic" in a logical way. In his Sec
ond epistle there is no evidence of
facts or arguments. 1t is but a con-
glomeration of vituperations, inuen-
dos, slangs and winds up with a mere
doggerel. AS the Senator of Lexing-
ton county, presume, that my peo-
pie expect of me more dignity than to
indulge in bitter newspaper contro-
versy.
tits apparent on the part of "Critic"
to show his bitter political opposition,
because have not bowed to some
concessions of his liking, therefore
he belches forth with harsh invec-
tives. He is mad. I shall leave the
uncalled for attack for a just public
to be their own judges. I don't pre-
sumo they will expect their Senator
to be puppet for demagogic bossism,

His Fixed Ircome.

A southern congressman, VIII o
formerly practiced law in Mississippi.
tells of an amusing case he once
tride in that State. He was then a
student in the Office Of his uncle a
Colonel Martin, who figured in local
politics.
The main figure in the trial was a
lazy darky named Dick Sutton, ar
rested at the instance of his wife,
who alleged that he contributed
nothing to her support and refused to
work.
During the examination Of Sutton
the young lawyer asked:
'Dick, have you any fixed income?''
Sutton was puzzled by the term.
Counsel explained that the express
sion meant certainty, money paid
not for odd jobs, but for steady en-
ployment; in other words, q compen-
sation at stated intervals on which
one could absolutely rely.
Upon the conclusion Of counsels
remarks the darky's face frightened.
Il thank I has a fixed income, sah,"
said he.
"And what is this fixed income?'
was the next question.
"Well, sah," answered Dick, with
a broad grin in the direction Of Col
Martin, ''de colonel dere alters give
me fo' dollars an sack O. -four on
election day!"

The boys. whose ages range from

Il they wanted a ride through the city.
Despite severe cross-questioning by
the Venice police, the boys could not
be shaken from their statements
They said they had repeatedly asked
the men 10 be allowed 20 get out OF
the machine when they saw they were
being driven out OF town. Their
pleadings, the boys say, were ans

was only when the automobile broke
down between Santa Monica and

a chance to escape They were found

BURBANK PLAN FAILS
End Of Efforts To incorporate"
Plant Wizards Work

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2s.--
The efforts of group Of local and
eastern capitalists to incorporate the
results of the genius of Luther Bur-
bank the plant wizard Of Santa Rosa,
have failed. Some time ago the Law
Brothers Of this city and Oscar Bin.
ner Of New York announced that they
had completed plans whereby the pro-
ducts Of the noted naturalist were to
be handled exclusively by a corpora.
ton which they had formed for that
purpose. In giving his reason for
not ratifying the agreement Mr..
Burbank made the following state
ment:
"The early development did not in
dicate satisfactory future results
either to the world or the parties in
volved in the transaction. As no cor.
poration had yet been formed and
only a preliminary contract executed
when the proposition was found to be
impracticable, it was mutually agreed
that it be abandoned"
