BUYS PLANT IN GREENVILLE.
Duke Company Purchases Greenville
Street Car System.

Grenville, September 9.-Follow.
ing the announcement of the pur.
chase by the Greenville, Aderson &
Spartanburg Interurban Railway com.
pany of the Geenville Traction com.
pany and light and power plant, came
the announcement from New York
that the directors at meeting in
that city had decided to increase the
capital stock of the interurban com
pany to s2,00O,000 and to begin work
on the Greenville-Belton branch al
once.
The Duke interests, controlling the
Greenville, Anderson & Spartanburg
Trolley company, purchased the
Greenville electric plant, including
the traction lines, from the corpora
ton known as the American Pipe
company of Philadelphia. The price
paid for the Greenville property is
understood to be 100000.
The dispatch confirming the report
of the sale was received this after
noon by Mayor Marshall from W. S.
Lee of the Southern Power company
and reads: "Our interests have to-
day purchased the Greenville railway
and light properties. We wish to ad-
wise you of this and assure you and
the citizens of Greenville that as soon
as we perfect our organization we
will have our representative call on
you with the end in view of securing
all interests concerned to the best
possible advantage"
The increase in the capital stock
designed to cover the cost Of the
Greenville property, and the an
nouncement of the determination to
begin work on the Greenville-Belton
branch assure early developments in
the project which is designed to link
the leading cities of the Piedmont
with lines which will furnish cheap
and convenient transportation be-
tween them.
Contracts for the grading and
equipment of the line from Greenville
will be let at once.
The lines of the Greenville, Ander-
son & Spartanburg company already
extend from Anderson to Bolton, and
this extension means .one more step
in the plan of binding the Piedmont
yet more closely together.

Union, Sept. 5.-S. S. Waldrop, a
we'll known operative in the Union

day morning by drinking laudanum
and died shortly afterwards. Mr..
Waldrop was prominent member OF
the Second Baptist church of West.
End. Mr.. Waldrop was about 46
years old and is survived by wife
and several children. He left letters
to his wife and son explaining the
reason of his death, saying that he
had betrayed the confidence of his
family and friends and could not face
them again. The funeral services
were held this afternoon at the Sec
cnd Baptist church by his pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Anderson, and his remains
were laid to rest in the city cemetery.

A candidate who is defeated
should not feel disappointed at de-
feat. One should work to make a
successful career in any undertaking
and be contented in the achievement
of success in his particular calling or
profession. The preferment of pub
lie Office is for only few, and some
times the people make the right Sc
lection in their opinion, knowing
that it is the wrong selection. This
is due to corruption in the people
and candidates. Sometimes misin-
formation as to mans platform
causes the wrong man to elect
ed, but in this case often we have
good men elected on the wrong plat
form.
Rev. P. a. Bolen held regular
preaching services at Georges Creek
Saturday and Sunday. He used the
subject: "The value of human life, y
and preached an instructive sermon.
He emphasized the truth that man has
Just begun the journey of life at
death. and that Gods purpose is for
him to understand that he has duty
to perform here below, using strong
Illustrations by naming some active
lives who have achieved great things
in life, such as inventions that are of
great avail in the establishment of
Christ's kingdom. Also said that
Gods purpose is that man should be
consecrated.
Cain Moye, an old negro of the
slavery time type, died last week. 1t
is a sad condition to see these old
negroes "pass over the river,' for
with their departure we lose ire
trievably that type of individuality.

Robbers Kill Two-Rob Pay Chest

Hudson, N. Y, Sept. S.-Masked
men sprang out of the bushes along
side a lonely lane this afternoon,
held up Dent Fowler, aged 21, pay
master of the Atlas Brick company,
and his negro driver, shot the driver
dead, wounded Fowler mortally and
made off with the chest of pay envel-
opes containing $4,000. George Rags
dale, the driver, died instantly, his
head being torn away by two "A
calibre revolver bullets. He was a
trusted employe. Fowler was wound
ed over the heart and died without
regaining full consciousness.
The robbers escaped.
Young Fowler went armed and for
further protection took with him
Ragsdale, who was stable boss at the
brick yard 1t was raining and they
rode with the buggy top up, the boot
we'll raised in front, and their heads
far back in the hood. That made it
easy for the robbers.
Just what happened when the
hold-up came will never be known
until the murderers are caught and
confess. Fowler died before he could
utter more than a few unintelligble
words.
