NOTES FROM BEVERLY
Especial correspondence.1

Especial Correspondence
The country has learned much about
north shore scenery since President
Taft made Beverly his summer home.
The correspondents who arrived at
Beverly ahead of the president and
those who came with him sent out
glowing descriptions Of the natural
beauties of the summer capital and its
neighborhood.
OF some of its most striking fea-
lures, however, they have said never
word. Chief among these features
are the islands in Salem bay.
These lie directly in the front yard
so to speak, of the presidents summer
home. The president sees them every
time he looks out Of window on the
water side of the house.
The Islands Of Salem Bay.
Without them the view would be
tame. They give character to the rock
bound bay and suggest stories of other
times-of passing ships f1omeward or
outward bound, of nocturnal landings
in the old smuggling days and of ship
wreck in sight of port.
The president would have to organ
ize an expedition to visit these islands.
He can't drive, walk or taxicab to
them, and there is no regular water
conveyance to any except the largest.
So the president is likely to pass the
summer at Beverly without setting
foot on them
Where Winthrop Sailed.
Salem bay and its islands are asso-
ciated with some of the most interest
ing periods of the country's develop
ment.
On the largest island, Bakers, are
the two lighthouses known to lands
men as MIR. and Mrs Baker, which
guide the mariner into the channel
and when he is there are straight in
line behind him, to make a back range
for his passage up the harbor. Very
properly Mrs. Baker" is smaller than
her husband. When in line the two
lighthouse towers cannot be distin-
guished from each other.
Past this island and up this channel
came Winthrop and his fleet to settle
Salem. Here for two centuries the
ships of Salem, ON which the town
built its wealth, counted themsel1 es
home from sea when Bakers was
ahnam

Telegraph Facilities.

To accommodate these men both the
Postal and Western Union Telegraph
companies have set up fine new offices
at Beverly. A corps of expert tele-
graph operators have been assigned to
the Beverly offices by these companies,
and either company can easily handle
$4,000 words of press matter night
without overworking their men. Spa
cious quarters have been provided by
both companies for the correspondents,
with typewriters and everything for
their comfort and convenience.

town been advanced by the library

Town Meeting Days.

The presidents rule is to see the
Washington correspondents Monday
and Wednesday afternoons and all Of
the newspaper men on Saturday after
noon. But this rule is not rigidly en-
forced, and correspondents who deem
it necessary to see the president often
er have little difficulty in getting at
him.
These receptions to the newspaper
men, or, as they are termed by some,
town meetings." are usually good ma
tured talks on the part Of the presi-
dent and the newspaper men, during
which the president and some Of the
correspondents chaff one another.
Sometimes there is considerable hilar-
ity at these town meetings, and the
president usually has story or two to
relate that evokes the heartiest sort of
laughter. CARL SCHOFIELD.

The Newspaper Men.

The coming of the president to Bev
erly has been great thing for the lit
tie north shore city. Its beauties and
advantages as summer resort are
now known all over the world, thanks
to the ceaseless activity of the press.
With the president came score or
more of newspaper correspondents
representing a number of the leading
papers Of the country, most of them
trained Washington correspondents,
regarded as the cream of their profess
sion, men who follow public events,
who are capable of writing intelligent
ly and entertainingly on almost any
topic, but who keep more especially
well informed on Washington and for
eign topics.

Rowditch,s Beacon.

Southwark of Bakers is mass of
cruel lodges. The ship that missed the
light in thick weather was in grave
danger from them. and long is the list
of wrecks they boast, down even to
recent years.
Up the channel toward Salem-the
channel through which the East India
ships took their rich eargoes of spices
and silks-one sees a stone monument
rising from the water, tall, truncated
cone.
This is Bowditch's beacon, named
for the great guide of seamen, Ma
thaniel Bowditch, whose home was in
Salem and who made, more than a
century ago, chart Of these waters
that has not been excelled to this day
Ledge of Satan.
Seward from this point is another
ledge, which the old sailors of Salem
and Marblehead, out of the wisdom be-
got of experience, named Satan.
1t is marked by spindle. At low
tide it's brown length lies on the sea
like sleeping whale or other marine
monster Sea birds alight on it, and
the wash of the waves about it is like
the purring of cat
Let heavy weather come and Satan
changes guise The surf roars and
cookies foaming white across it, and
woe betide the man who picks it up
in fog under his bowsprit end.

by a stroke of paralysis. We hope
to hear that Mr.. Reeves will soon
get better.
We often hear the farmers speak
of the good price of cotton. They
say that they, made more than a
crop, for the fancy price made them
clear more than large crop.
The telephone hands have started
to string wires over our corporation.
It will be great advantage to our

Many of our farmers bought fine
breeds of hogs and chickens at large
prices during the exhibition of South

BOWMAN NEWS.
Blind Tiger Located and Captured
in That Town.

Bowman, Nov. 19.-Special: There
was some hustling around on some
of the farms yesterday when the
wind commenced to blow with a
light gale from the north, finding
some farmers with corn uncut with
temperature dropping rapidly to-
ward the freezing point. 1t was in
reality the first genuine cold day of
this fall and Notwithstanding the
bright sunshine, it was anything but
comfortable riding, especially late in
the day. Plenty of ice formed dur
ing the night and the temperature
went low Gown, touching the Fl
degree mark, destroying almost
everything that is "killable."
The scent of the illict sale of
"booze" has been floating in the air
hereabout for some little time.
Trail was struck, which became quite
hot day or two ago.. and the
hounds of justice" located the t.
ger or tigress in den almost In the
heart Of town in the person OF ---
shirer. A number Of gallon jugs
and quarts were found secreted In q
ehicket close by, all Of which were
empty, except two or three, which
contained "low-lick." Some Of the
jugs bore evidence Of being lately
emptied. The defendant was plao-
ed on trial and one witness testified
70 having bought two half-pints OF
corn whiskey on the morning just
before the arrest was made. Inten-
dent Mittle did not tarry long with
the case, the defendant was prompt
ly found guilty and sentenced to a
fine of $50, or 80 days. She antici-
pated the verdict with doubt, for
Immediately after the sentence was
passed she walked up to the desk
and rolled out the bills to the re-
uuired amount Of sentence.
Cotton seed continues to come in

TWO LIVES ARE LOST
aRAN WRECIlERs REMoV
RAILS AND WRECK TRAIN
REMOVE
Near Denmark, Killing Colored
Fireman and a White Tramp. Who
was Stealing a Ride.


A special dispatch to The News
and Courier from Denmark says
train wreckers are responsible for
the derailment of the south bound
, mail train on the Seaboard Air Line
, Railway, which passed Denmark at
'l:45 o'clock Thursday morning, the
death Of two men, a negro fireman
and a white tramp, the injuries sus-
tanned by Engineer Poteat. the shak-
sing up of the passengers and the
destruction of the engine.
The tran was IN charge of Con-
ductor Harry Butler and Engineer
Poteat. While going down grade
just before reaching curve, two
miles south of this place, Thursday
morning, the engineer saw just
ahead the end Of rail turned in
toward the middle OF the track.
Scarcely had he blown for down
brakes" when the engine reached
the dislocated rail and left the track,
plowing Its way along the ties until
it was completely wrecked.
The engineer was hurled through
the top Of his cab for quite a dis
tance. In his fall he sustained a
broken nose and several bruises, but
was not seriously hurt. The negro
fireman and a white tramp, who Is
supposed to have been riding on the
COW catcher, were instantly killed,
the body Of the fireman being burned
to crisp when removed from the
wreckage, and that of the tramp
badly scaided The baggage master
and express messenger were bruised
up, but were not seriously injured.
None of the passengers were hurt.
Besides the engine, the mail, bag
gage and one passenger coach left
the rails and were thrown across
the track. The other coaches were
loose from the trucks but did not
leave the rails. After the wreck
investigation revealed the fact that
two rails had been removed, crow
bar, large wrench and a bottle OF
kerosene oil, which had been used
10 loosen the nuts where the rails
are Joined, being found at the side
OF the track.
The accident occurred not far
from the camp of the Bamberg Coun-
ty chain gang, where bloodhounds
are kept, and the dogs were soon on
the scene. They Immediately took
up the scent and followed the trail
into the corporate limits OF Den
mark. where it was lost. Detectives
arrived on the scene Thursday and
are securing the region for cleWs
that will lead to the detection OF
the guilty parties.
! It is believed that the wreckers
are the same ones that caused the
wreck Of the same train at Otside,
Just few miles further south only
q few months ago. The wreck Thurs
day morning was more disastrous
in that two lives were lost and the
damage was greater. Conductor But
Ter was also in charge Of the train
that was wrecked on the previous
occasion.
The detectives who are working
on the case claim to have their sus-
picions, but they refuse to say any
thing for publication. 1t is intf-
mated, however, that very probably
the motive was vengeance, as some
OF the officials Of the road were on
the train.
Engineer Poteat was in the wreck
between Swansea and Sweden six or
seven years ago.Iwhen two passeng-
er engines collided.
