SERIOUS n. c. l., WRECK.
Apparently Deliberately Planned
None SuStainS Serious Injuries,

Florence, July 16.-Train No. Sc,
the Coast Lines palmetto Limited"
which left Charleston at 40 and
Florence at 7:45 yesterday, was badly
wrecked at the Buck Swamp siding,
two miles north Of Latta. about Q
o'clock last night.
The train, which was made up with
one Of the Coast Lines big copper
head locomotives, mail and express
cars, two coaches and two sleepers.
with Engineer Reddin Bullock and
Conductor John w. Cotton, Jr., was
speeding along at a 45-miIes an hour
clip, when suddenly the locomotive,
entering the siding, followed by the
heavy cars, soon rushed on off
through ghe siding into the swamp,
ploughing' its way through mud and
earth until its force was checked by
the weight Of the cars. The engine
remained in an upright position, and
that was she reason why Engineer
Bullock and his fireman were not in
jured.
The mail car left the right Of way
to the right, the express car to the
left and the two coaches Jammed
themselves against the wreckage.
Only the front truck of the forward
end Of the two Pullman cars left the
rails.
When it was all over it was found
that a tramp by the name of Wood
ward had his feet and hand badly
mashed, and that the mail agent, the
express messenger and his colored
No'1er and the train porter were
!sntly injured by being bruised and
shaken up. Not a passenger on the
t. is reported to have been in
.r ID.
AS quickly as possible the wreck
ing train, in charge Of Mr.. Alex Ses-
SONS, and carrying Assistant Superin-
tendent r. B. Hare, DR.. B. c. Gregg
and Special Agent c. E. st. Amand,
left here for the scene. The track
was found to be blocked upon it's ar
rival. but was soon cleared, all trains
being detOured last night and early
this morning via Elrod and Chad
bourne.
Upon investigation as to the cause
Of the wreck it was found that the
switch mad been opened and the lock-
removed. The lock could not be,
found, showing that it was a wilful
and diabolical act Of some miscreant.
The attempt proved to be successful
and 1t is, indeed, a miracle that all
on board were not slaughtered out
right.
The Buck Swamp siding is what is
known in railroad parlance as a "one-
ender," with the switch opening to
the south end, from whence the train
approached, the other end being
open, and nothing to prevent a train
from going into the woods should it
enter the open switch at any kind Of
speed. AS soon as the engine enter
ed the siding the sudden swoOp
threw Engineer Bullock from his
seat, but he quickly recovered him
self, shut off steam, applied the emer-
gency brakes and reversed his en-
gine, but by the time this was all
done she was ploughing herself
through mud and earth, having pass
ed in, through and off the siding.

COTTON CROP GOOD.
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT STATE
INDICATE BIG YIELD, RAINS
COMING IN TIME TO RE-
LIEVE SITUATION.
Heavy Fertilization, Improved Meth
ods of Farming and Deeper Plow-
ing Is Telling-Fields Are Clean
and Some Sections Expect Much
Larger Yields Than I'm Several
Ycars Past.

Columbia, July 17.-Due, in great
measure. To the rains of last week,
which relieved the drought before il
had done serious damage. except pos
sibly in scattering sections, the 1911
cotton crop in South Carolina, from
present indications. promises to be
equally as good IL not better than last
year.
No section of the State, from re-
ports, has suffered materially; but to
the contrary, in a number of counties
larger yields are indicated than in a
number Of years past.
Taking the State as a whole, the
condition up to the end Of last week
indicates that the cotton crop this
year will not be off ON account Of the
drought that for a time was feared
would materially affect the yield.
Conditions may be said at this time
to indicate a 100 per cent crop, al
though In some scattering sections
where cotton was replanted and did
not get a good stand the yield will
not be more than two-thirds or three
fourths; but in other sections from
Is to 25 per cent more cotton Is ex-
pected than last year.
Heavy fertilization and the unusu-
ally fine preparation Of the soil, deep
er plowing and the application Of
new methods is telling this season,
but for which II Is safe to say that
the drought would have proved Of
greater damage; but compared with
last year at this time the crop Is in
far better condition. The fields are
clean, there Is no grass, and indica-
tions are that a much larger per
cent OF the cotton will be picked this
year than last. Last year at this
time the fields were full of grass,
making the cost Of production great
er than this year. and. indeed last
year the farmers had a hard fight to
keep the grass from over-running the
cotton.
What grass that follows the recent
rains will be easily kept in check this
year.

The campaign for Good Roads and

The last rally OF the campaign will
be held In Sumter on Thursday. July

Will send Mr.. Charles III. Hoyt Of that
Department to speak In Sumter on
that date. Mr.. Hoyt will use so coll

Mr.. Fischer OF the Lyric Theatre has
loaned the use OF his theatre to the
committee for his purpose. Every
one who can possibly do so Ia urged
to attend this meeting. Women are
especially invited. This meeting will
be at 1880 a. m. and Is free to all.

Mr.. Hoyt. Commissioner f. j. Wat

a complete system OF hard sand-ei.y

present haphazard system Of build
