Women Become Panic Stricken in
an e. .ctrlcal Stern.


Kittaning, Pa. Eight women
mourners were injured in panic
caused by a severe electrical storm
during the funeral of George Serene
at West Kittaning. The mourners
were filing out Of the house to board
carriages for the cemetery when the
storm broke.
The vivid electrical display and
loud peals of thunder frightened
come of the women, and they made
a rush to re-enter the house. In a
moment there was a struggling
crowd in the front yard. When calm
was restored eight of the women
were SO badly hurt that medical at
tention was necessary.

COMMISSION PLAN FAILS
Showed Under in New Jersey by this
voters---s'Let Trenton
Try u First.

Hoboken, N. -Hoboken decided
by a large majority of votes Tues
day that it does not want commits
sion government.
The total vote polled, with one dis
trict of zoo votes missing, was 1922,
of which commission government re-
ceiyed 2,766, giving it's opponents q
majority of 1000. Under the
Walsh act 1t was necessary for the
commission government advocates to
poll 1885, or 80 per cent. OF the
total vote cast for members of cleo
ton last fall, which they failed to do.
The campaign for the adoption of
the Walsh act was vigorous one.
For week mass-meetings were held
every night. and one of them was
addressed by Governor Wilson. The
commission government advocates
also circulated much literature
throughout the city.
The adoption of the act was OPP
posed by the Democratic and Re-
publican organizations. the Police
and Fire Departments and every
office-holder in the city. To many 1t
looked ludicrous to see the TWO here
tofore bitterly antagonistic organize
lions working together hand-in-hand
for common cause.
The opponents to the commission
form of government did not hold any
meetings or circulate any literature.
but early in the game they began a
still hunt which, as the result shows.
proved very effective.

500 Short at Brunswick

New Brunswick, N by vote
of 2 to commission government was
defeated here at the special election.
the total vote being 2,520 against,
1,245 for, the majority against be-
ing s1,245.
Even though the majority had
been for it, there were not enough
votes cast to bring the vote for it
up to the required 80 per cent. under
the Walsh act. Last year the
registry was 5000, and 1900 votes
were necessary to be polled for
commission government to carry it.
The vote polled fell nearly 500 short
of that figure.
Not a single one of the six wards
in the city gave a majority for it.
Many said, Let Trenton try it
first" while. others said the election
had been called too soon and they
had not had an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the subject
sufficiently to vote intelligently
thereon.

City Election Chat,

There are many rumora going the
rounds in reference to the city elec-
ton.
One is that all the present alder
men will be candidates for re-elec-
Another is that the friends OF Aid
man Sain will enter him as candl-
date for mayor.
Still another is that Fir. Wallace
Crum will be brought out by his
friends for alderman.
Still another is that the friends OF
ex-aIderman Noah w. W@rtz will en-
ter him in the race for aldernIanlc
honors.
He would make a good race as he
would likely have the support OF MT
W. B. Thompson and Prof. A. j.
Thackston for the assistance he gave
them in controlling the city school
trustee meeting.
It is also thought that the last two
named gentlemen would warmly sup
mort Mr.. C. D. Kortjohn for a munlc-
ipal office after the election, should
he aspire to one, for his assistance
to them in controlling the city
school trustee meeting.
There may be nothing in the above
and we only give them for what they
are worth. In the meantime we
give all the gentlemen named notice
that The Times and Democrat is
ready to let all know that they are IN
the race for municipal honors for a
small consideration.

They Work the Road.

The St. Matthews correspondent OF
The News and Courier says "the far
mers along the old state road saw no
reason to stir the dust any further,
so they laid by, and magnanimously
put their teams and forces to work
upon the automobile highway, pass
ing through ther respective sections
They have dcne this, primarily, for
their own benefit, but they also take
a pride in making their road" the
official route for State motorists The
citizens of St. Matthews have con-
tributed literally towards this work
and there is no longer any reason to
doubt that the highway will eventual
ly be a beauty, so far as Calhoun
County is concerned. The impress
sion here is that Columbia will re-
spond generously to the task of shap-
ing up the treacherous "Hazaboo"
Swamps, as Lexington county is little
interested in that road which is an
exclusive feeder for the Capital City.

marriage to Andrew Jackson Hy-
drick, Jr., of this city. A large
number of relatives and friends were
present.
Just before the ceremony short
musical programme was given by
Miss Annie Hydrick and Mrs. D. A.
Roberts Of Columbia. To the strains
OF Mendelssohn's wedding march i'm
pressively rendered by Mrs. Roberts,
a cousin of the bride, the bridesmaid

kie, sister of the bride; the maid

After congratulations the guests

The St. Matthews correspondent of

cal weather conditions are remarka-
bly peculiar this summer in Calhoun
County. In some places the seasons
have been ideal. Russell zimmerman
has 225 acres of cotton in the clay
belt, from which conservative judges
estimate he will gather 500 bales
barring unforeseen calamities. In 9th
er sections the drought is practically
unbroken. The old corn is hopeless
and unless good rains fall promptly,
Juno team of peacocks" can pull the
cotton to market this fall, from the

oRANGEBURG COUNTY FINANCES
The Figures of This Year Compared
With Last Years.

AS stated in our last issue a set
tlement has been made between Or
angeburg County and the State for
the present fiscal year. The Even
ing News says the Settlement shows
that the total expenses OF the coun-
ty for the year June SO, 1910 to
June 80, 1911 amounted to S67,-
46S.21
This money was distributed as fol-
lows: Townships s19,650.65, court
expenses, s4,454.75, for general
county expenses, s43,362.S1. The
cash on hand at present is,as follows:
school purposes s19,277.32,v state
Ss2.92, bonded debt s23.2S5.73.
By comparison of the settlement
of last year it will be sean that the
county this year is a little behind
1910. The settlement for the year
ending June 80, 1910 slowed that
the total expenses amounted to $685.
PITTS. Of this amount S10,615.3 4
was used in the townships, while the
amount for court expenses was $4,-
05S:00, leaving Sal, ,6O4.44 for gen
eral county expenses.
by these two settlements the debt
of the county on June sc, 1911 was
s22,0S5.63, while on June 80, 1910
the county debt amounted to only
e,e one 60 Tins il Will be seen
that the county at present time is
Just about three months behind.
The item of township expenses
listed in the settlement is made up
of a one mill levy, the cmm!utation
road tax and the apportionment Of
three dollars per mile for public
roads in each county frcm the gen
eral county funds.
