The Disastrous Exception.

Man has within. the last century
applied the principles OF physics and
mechanics to the problem Of the an
Inhalation of time and distance with
wonderful results, but occasionally
we are reminded that however uni
form these principles may be there
remains a human element in the
equation which is very failible An
illustration Of this fact is to be seen
in the cause of the disastrous wreck
on the Charleston & Western Caro-
lima Railroad in Abbeville county, S.
c., On Sunday.
The train dispatcher wired to the
agent at Mccormick a meet" order,
affecting two trains approaching from
opposite directions. The agent re-
ceipted for the order and as a matter
Of routine pulled the semaphore con-
nection at his elbow, an operation
which he had performed several times
a day probably for months without
it's ever having failed to set the dan
ger signal. A rush Of applicants for
tickets distracted his attention and he
neglected to assure himself that the
mechanism had worked for the hun
dred and first time One of the trains
arrived and the agent. confident that
the danger signal was flying and that
the conductor would await orders,
continued to sell tickets. Yhen he
closed his window and looked for his
man the train was several hundred
Yards on it's way to an ineV1tacte
smash-up. It chanced that the se1na-
Dhore mechanism had failed to re-
spond and that the signal the conduc-
tor read gave him a clear track.
Negligent? Certainly it was negli-
eence in the agent not to take every
nrecaution in the discharge Of his i'm

DIR. Byron W. King Tonight.

Do not miss hearing DR.. King to-
night. He will lecture in Holland Hall,

that hear not" or Call the worlds a
STAGE" Dr. King is a great man. His
books on oratory are studied all over
the globe. Among some Of his stud
ents were Ex-President Mckinley,
John Temple Graves, John ingalls,. He
has acted on the stage in Shakespeare
with the great Booth and others. The
New York Herald says of him: AT
the head of his profession" An Ohio
paper says: "It is said that no man
on the American continent today is
his equal" Russell Conwell says: "a
genius, king Of the platform"
Now what do our friends who heard
him say? Prof. Jones, Of Laurens,
asks me to print this statement: 1--WE
people of Laurens have heard some
Of the best lecturers on the platform
and we consider King the best we
have ever heard. Our people want
him back again this eason yet Oh, but
he is great! I hope all the Newberry
people will make a special effort to
hear him Tuesday night"
DR.. Geo. Y. Hunter, of Prosperity,
says: For the information of the
Newberry people who have never
heard King, tell them he is the finest
we have ever heard anywhere. You
can't advertise him too highly. He
will make good. A nunber of Pros
perity people will come to Newberry
to hear him Tuesday night if possible.
He is grand"
It is scarcely worth while for the
management to say more about DR..
King except We urge you to come for
your sakes, the towns sake and the
sake of the lyceum course. We need
you and you need US. Come on time
as We are expecting a good crowd
Those who have not received season

DR.. Byron King in Laurens.

Laurens, Oct. 29.-Dr. Byron w.
King opened the high school lyceum
course here last Thursday evening
with a lecture on Shakespeare" i"
which in the opinion of every one who
heard it, was the finest entertainment
of it's kind ever given in Laurens. DIR.
King lectured to a crowded house that
showed their appreciation with round
after round Of hearty applause.
While Dr.. King proposed to give a
lecture, and did give good one, 1t
was entirely different from the usual
dry speech that every one expects
when buying a ticket to an entertain
ment of this name. The speakers S
deep, rich voice and inimitable gec-
lures were features Of his oratory
that carried the large audience with
him all through the evening. His IL
Eliminating references to the works Of
Shakespeare, in which he carried the
listener from the most solemn to the
most humorous with perfect ease,
won for him close attention and con-
tinual applause.
Friday morning DR.. King delighted
the school children with an hour OF
fun, mixed with some good, sound ad-
vice. He leaves Laurens with a big
string Of warm friends and admirers.

BLAME ON OPERATOR.
The Telegrapher Says He Pulled
Semaphore and That it Failed to
Display Danger Signal
Anderson Mail.

Anderson Mail.
The coroner's jury at Mccormick
yesterday placed on Telegraph Oper-
ator I. W. Browder, the blame for the
death Of the victims Of the Charles
ton and Western Carolina wreck,
which occurred near there Sunday.
The facts elected at the inquest
showed that the train dispatcher had
given order for the two trains, Nos.
2 and 8, to meet at Mccormick.
Browder failed to give orders to the
conductor Of train No. 8, allowing the
train to clear from the station be-
fore the arrival of No. 2, the result
being the head-on collision half way
between Mccormick and Plum
Branch, the next station.
Browder states that he pulled the
semaphore on the receipt Of order to
hold train No. at Mccormick and
thinking the danger signal had work
ed. he proceeded with his other du-
ties laying the train order on his
desk. He says that the senaphore
failed to work, leaving train No. 3
a clear signal. He was busy with an
unusual rush Of ticket sales and
thinking the danger signal was dis
PLAYED did not hurry about giving the
conductor his train order.
AS soon as he could he started to
find the conductor and was dismayed
to find that the train had pulled out
of the station and that only its tall
lights were visible. In a few min
utes the crash Of the colliding trains
was heard although distant about
tw1 miles and half.

SCHOOL FACILITIES
FOR RURAL CHILDREN
Mr.. J. B. O'Neall Holloway Made Ad-
dress at DacusEille on Duties Of
Rural School Communities.
GreenVille News.

GreenVille News.
J. 3. O'Neall Holloway, Of New
berry, passed through the city yester-
day on his return from DacusVille in
Pickens county where he delivered
an address on the subject of educa-
ton and in the interest Of the Farm
ers' union, Of which he is the State
lecturer and general field worker. The
gathering at Dacusville was creditable
to the citizens Of that Wide-aWake and
public spirited community. This
school district will soon vote on the
question Of using bonds to erect a
suitable high school building to ac-
commodate the large number of chill
dren in that district and the sur
rounding school districts. They hope
to erect a $4,000 or $4,000 school
building and equip it with the best
modern furniture.
Mr.. Holloway's address was along
the line of duty and feasibility of
rural school communities offering the
very best facilities to the country
children and suggested in addition to
the literary course offered that indus
trial branches be added so as to meet
the needs Of thu great majority of
country boys and girls who will new
er have the opportunity Of attending
college. Mr. Holloway also urged the
matter Of general education among
the farming class, showing by intell1-
gent methods the increased yields in
corn and cotton and the general bet
terment in the agricultural districts
had been accomplished. He urged
the farmers union members to inform
themselves in their organization and
induce others who are not memb
to join. That by tho education Of the
membership and cooperation along
the lines of selling and sane and in
telligent distribution Of their cotton
crop could they hope to get a remun-
Grafton price for it.
Mr.. Holloway expressed himself as
charmed with the interest Of the peo-
pie Of Dacusville on educational and
agricultural lines and he confidently
predicts great future for this COM
munity with the establishment Of it's
high school and its increasing interest
in farming which he saw on every
hand during his visit
