Leo ToIstoi, greatest of Russian
philosophers, patriarchiaI novelist,
apostle Of the simple life, is dead.
Erratic though ne was. his heart
wa right. He was brave in what
he thought was best for the common
lot and did not hesitate to express
his convictions. Practically all his
life was given to the mightiest of
lifes problems. A great thinker, he
was likewise a great author and a
great reformer. In a high sense he
was a martyr to the cause he believ-
ed to be just. Wealthy though he
was, his self imposed humility and
deprivations brought him close to
the people he loved, while his long
life was hallowed by the light Of
genius

Mr.. BrunSOn's Card.

To the Editor Of The Herald and
News: The card of Mr.. Brunson, that
you copy from the State, does Mr..
Featherstone grave injustice. TIL:
statement that Mr.. Featherstone hal
any purpose to disband the prohibi-
tionists is absurd, and the statement
that, just few weeks before. he
joined in a meeting to put in the field
a State ticket on a prohibition-license
platform" is utterly without founda-
ton. The following men we're at the
meeting at the Jerome hotel to which
Mr. Brunson refers: the Rev. Louis J.
BristoW and Messrs. Hamel, G. C..
Featherstone, J. A. Mccullough, W. F
Houseal, W. H. Wallace, G.. A. Smith
J. A. Hoyt and George B. Cromer. I
think Mr. Brunson will find it hard to
convince the people of this State that
these gentlemen were in favor OF a
prohibition-license, or any other sort
Of license, or that they were false to
the cause Of prohibition. The main
purpose Of the meeting, as I UNDER
stand it, was to try to devise some
plan by which the State dispensary
could be destroyed and to discuss the
adyisability of having some man an
nounce himself as candidate for gov
ernor and some one as a candidate
for the United States senate, on an
anti-dispensary platform. Nothing
was said or done by Mr.. Featherstone
or any other member of this confer
ence, that was in favor Of license OF
that was unfavorable to prohibition
1t was the sense of the meeting that
it would be unwise for the prohibi-
tionists to put out a State ticket, aad
Mr.. Featherstone was simply cary
ing out the views Of those that We're
at this conference when, a short tima
later, he attended the meeting of the
prohibtionists and used his influence
against the nomination of State tick
ct. I may add, as a further act o.
justice to Mr.. Featherstone, that he
was not seeking the office Of govar-
nor at that time, but that Mr.. Joseph
A. Mccullough was urged by a num-
Der Of the members of the conference
to allow his name to be user. The
to allow his name to be used. The
Brunson's card is that he has been
grossly deceived or misinformed.

News of the derailment reached Co.
iumbia last night about 1890 o'clock
by way of Charlotte and Spartanburg.
The telegraph line between Columbia
and Rockton was knocked down when
the cars overturned and the dispatch
es bringing the news Of the accident
had to be sent in this roundabout way.
Consequently, they were slow in CON-
ing in. The telephone lines to the
Southern railway Offices were kept
busy with requests for information
about the trouble from people who
had friends and relatives on train No.
80. Many rumors were circulated on
the streets and much excitement was
created. These fears were allayed
when the official dispatches were sent
into the office Of H. A. Williams, sup
erintendent
Doctors Hurried to Scene.
As soon as the news of the derail-
ment was received in Columbia, a re-
lief train was made up and rushed
to the scene of the wreck. DR.. Les
ter, the Southern railways assistant
surgeon, with several others, went to
the aid Of the injured. DR.. Buchanan
of Winnsboro also hurried to the
scene. The relief train was followed
by a wrecking train at 1.3O a. m. T.
B. Lumpkin, secretary Of the railroad
commission, took a special to Rock
ton. He was accompanied by S. H.
Mclean, passenger agent of the
Southern.
The track between Charlotte and
Columbia was blocked for several
hours the rails being torn up. On
account of the wreck, Southern train

WRECK ON SOUTHERN.
Train No. 30 Bound for Washington,
Derailed at ROckton-Several
Were Injured.

Train No. 80. on the Southern rail
way, running between Savannah and
Washington, was derailed and over
turned last night, at 927 o'clock, one
mile below Rockton, a small station
three miles from Winnsboro. About
IS passengers we're injured but none
seriously and no one was killed. The
engine, although derailed, remained
upright, the tender, mail, express,
combination and the passenger
coaches were overturned. The three
Pullmans remained upright, but one
of them was derailed.
Train Going Fast
The train was bowling along 40
miles an hour on a straight stretch OF
track. Suddenly the engineer, Robert
McDougal, felt his tender leave the
track. He put on the emergency
brake, but before he could stop his
train the tender, the mail car, the
express car, the combiaation and a
passenger coach had left the rails and,
breaking away from the rest of the
train, had overturned and rolled away
from the track. One Of the three
Pullmans was derailed, but did not
upset.
J. v. Blanton, the conductor, sent
the news to Winnsboro and soon
about 900 people had reached the
scene Once there, the spectators
turned their attention to caring for
the injured 1t is believed that spread
ing rails or broken truck caused the
accident.

AS you enter the building on the
first floor from Martin street, you
pass through a corridor Is feet wide,
with a similar one crossing at right
angles in the centre. You come first
to the superintendent office, and

the left. Beyond these in the south
west corner is a class room "a by 26

next the front door is another cloak
room, then class room the same di-
mensions of the other. Beyond the
cross corridor are two large class
rooms 27 feet square. Large double
doors at the end of each corridor gives
easy facilities for emptying the build

The floors on both stories are doubled
and so we'll are they jointed that it
looks like polished whole.
On either side of the corridor are
stairways, leading up to, and into a

a dais or stage as you enter, raised

to have a marble slab, something,
similar to that in the court house,
placed in the walls with their names

completion, the name of the architect
and the name of the builders. The
whole would not cost exceeding S25,
a mere pittance to each. It should be
done as a matter of record and his

one who aided in its building than on
