Anderson to Get Baptist College.

Laurens, Dec. 1.-The South Caro-
lima Baptist convention took two mo-
mentous steps to-day. The first was
the adoption of the report Of the
committee appointed to confer with
the Anderson delegation in regard
to the location of college in Ander-
son, which committee reported in
favor of accepting the proposition. A
committee of five was appointed to
appoint the trustees who are to put
in action the wishes of the conven-
ton. This means that the building
of the college will be commenced at
an early date.
The second great step taken by
the convention was the adoption OF
the report on the Greenville Female
College on which report it was rec
commended that bonds to the amount
of $4,000 be- sold to improve the
building and work for the college
The convention was in unison in both
points, there being absolutely no op-
position to either proposition.

Spartanburg, Dec. 3.-Dispatches
from Johnson City, Tenn, state that
a Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio train
Of empty coal cars, with two loco
motives, struck a rock on the track
at 3:45 o'clock this morning, near
Clinchport, Va, and the engines and
five cars went down an embankment.
Three men were killed and three
badly injured. The dead are: T. w.

fireman; Carl Vaughn, fireman. The
injured: J. S. Walker, engineer;
Mack Vance, brakeman; - Mead,

Details are meagre and it is i'm
possible to get a detailed account OF
the wreck. The presumption is that
a fog obscured the obstruction. Gen
eral Manager Caples and Superin-
tendent Phetteplace left at an early
hour for the scene of the disaster.

New York, Dec. 3.-Just as the
undertaken put out his hands to lift
the body of three-year-old Lillian
Wand to-day to prepare her for buri-
al, the child sat bolt upright in her
winding sheet, opened her eyes and
cried Mamma! I want my mamma!
I'm cold.'
The undertaken fell back in
chair nearly fainting, but regaining
presence of mind snatched up blank
cts, wrapped the child in them. and
rushed downstairs with her to her
parents.
The little girl had been ill five
days with commissions. This after
noon, stiffened, her eyes glazed and
none of the familiar tests showing
any signs of life, the undertaken s
assistant was just tying white crepe
on the front door when the father
bolted out for the doctor.

Fire at St. George.

St. George, Dec. IA destructive
fire occurred in St. George early this
afternoon, when the building occu-
pied by Mrs. A. NJ. Patrick and the
residence of J. w. Heaton were to-
tally destroyed. The flames original
ed in the Patrick building. It was
two stories in height, the ground
floor being used for mercantile pur-
poses, while the second is resi-
dence. The origin of the confagra-
ton is not definitely known. Inc
fire was first discovered in the front
portion of the building.
The burned buildings were in the
business section and had it not been
for the quick response of the volun-
teer fire department there is strong
probability that additional property
would have been destroyed. A strong
wind was blowing, which gave a
squally appearance to the situation
for a short while, but the good work
prevented further damage.
Both buildings were of wood, and
the damage is estimated to approx
mate $4,000, partly covered by in
surance. The building which was oc-
cupied by Mrs. Patrick was the prop
erty of Senator Muckenfuss, and was
a local landmark, being one of the
oldest business ablishments in St
George. The Heaton residence was
nearly new.

HOME OF HOMELESS BURNED.
Convention Building at Connie Max
well Orphanage Burned.

Greenwood, Dec. 1.-The conven-
ton building, a handsome two-story
building at the Connie Maxwell or
phanage, was completely destroyed
by. fire shortly after noon to-day.
Fortunately all the inmates were out
of the building being at school, but
every piece of their clothing was
burned up in the building. The
home was occupied by boys from the
ages of to IL years.
When discovered the fire was on
the roof Of the building and had made
such headway that there was no hope
of saving it. Mrs. c. c. Mcdaniel,
the matron, and her assistant, Miss
Sherwood, were the only occupants
of the building, and they were en-
gagged in cooking dinner for the boys
at the time the fire was discovered.
The building cost $4,000 when
erected eight years ago, and would
cost 5000 to replace. Two thousand
dollars insurance was carried.
An interesting coincidence is that
that building he'd it's inception in a
motion made by Rev. w. B. Oliver,
then pastor at Florence, that the Bap-
tist State convention then in session
in. Greenville in 1902, raise the
money then and there for new
building and that the building thus
secured should be burned down eight
years after while the convention was
in session. Still more peculiar it
burned down while Superintendent
Jamison was in the very act of MAX
ing his report to the convention.
Supplies of clothing for the boys
will be welcomed and are coming in
from town now.
The news of the burning of the
convention building having been
learned at Laurens where the Baptist
convention was in session move
ment was started at once to raise
funds necessary for it's rebuilding.
In a very short while $4,000 had
been pledged, which, together with
the $4,000 insurance, will be enough
to restore the building promptly.

Police Row in Florence.

Florence, Dec 3.-There has been
something like a strike in the police
department of Florence. Several days
ago council suspended Herman Cain,
chief of police, and ]. F. Turbeville
and James F. Epps, officers, for
clubbing a negro prisoner in the po-
lice station. The friends OF the sus-
pended officers, who had not heard
the charges, took it for granted that
the suspension was on account OF
killing the negro who assaulted the
chief in the Jail a few days ago, for
which he was tried and acquitted at
the recent special term Of court. 1t
happens that the two officers were the
ones who came to his relief and who
were witnesses on the stand in his
defense. Considerable feeling was
aroused, and even in the police de-
partment the feeling manifested it.
self, for Cain is very unusually
popular man. Two officers, Bryant
and Boyle, turned in their accoutre-
ments when they learned of the sus-
pension of the chief and other Of
-icers, and Florence was left without
any policemen.
A carnival is in progress here now,
and it is charged that Cain was re-
sponsible for a disturbance that was
caused there which is now before the
mayor for Investigation. The acting
police are the ones making the
charge that Mr.. Cain raised the dis
turbance.
Council held special meeting to-
day to consider the case, and the
chairman of the police committee
gives out the statement that the peo-
pie of Florence may be assured of
/ perfect police protection and force
that can be counted on:

WHO COMMANDS PIE COUNTER?
Appointments From Washington
Puzzle Hard to Solve.

washington, d. c., Dec. 2.-The
elandestine hand of fate seems to be
,rummaging mysteriously around
amongst the bowels of the South
Carolina Republican situation, or else
President Taft, just five days before
congress convenes, would not be MAX
ing these several curious recess post
Office appointments in Abbeville,
Laurens and Union.
8 On Wednesday, quietly and myste-
riously, Frederic Minshall was ap-
pointed to succeed Thomas Tolbert as
postmaster at Abbeville; Charles L..
Hicks to succeed George McCravy at
Laurens, and L. G. Young to succeed
j. C. Hunter at Union. These are not
nominations" but appointments. OF
course they must be nominated for a
regular appointment in the regular
way and the senate will have to con-
firm, but congress is not now in ses-
sion and they do not have to wait
the three remaining days and the
week or two necessary for confirma-
ton.
- Most vigorous efforts have been
made by the celebrated Harris-Hemp-
hill league of Charleston and Rich
mond to, oust McCravy at Laurens
and Hunter at Union, land in this
worthy effort they have had the CO.
operation of many Of the citizens of
these towns. Mr.. Capers, the official
but every once in while wholly de-
: functionized referee in matters of
federal pie, recommended the afore-
said incumbents, which aforesaid
have, now at last and on the eve of
congressional session, been sadly
separated from their jobs.
Now is matter of semi-history,
semi because the records thereof
have not heretofore been spread be-
fore the public gaze, that the Harris
Hemphill league, the major in this
case perhaps not wholly concurring,
have been hackers of what has been
termed the Tolbert sc varieties,
meaning that State convention con-
sisting of the Hon. Joe Tolbert and
Sc negroes whose fare was paid to
Columbia last September in the name
OF the G. o. P.
- 1t is known, too, that our old
friend, Gen. Issimo Hitchcock, had
some leanings toward that galaxy as
representing the true genius of the
Republican party in South Carolina
rather than the other convention,
which assembled in Columbia on oc-
tober 81, under the guardianship and
delectability of the Hon. Capers, all
white-not wool, you understand
and yard wide. The president at
the instigation of somebody, OF
scourse-but who-has turned out
1 two of Capers's men, at Union and
q Laurens. But at Abbeville turned
sout Tom Tolbert, about the only re-
fmaining Tolbert left on the payroll.
Joe and Bob and "Red" Tolbert
Z fought, bled and died to get their
cousin this job.
Furthermore, there is Laurie
Young at Union. He was a member
Of the Capers' convention. Again
am forced to ask the question pro-
pounded last year just before the
major left the State: Who is the Re
publican referee in South Carolina? ?
