BETTER DEPICTS FOR BARNWELL
Southern and Coast Line Assure CIT
izens of Improved Facilities.

Barnwell, March 24.-That the
Southern Railway company would
build a new passenger station and
that the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road company would remodel and en-
large it's present building at Barn
well was practically assured at a
meeting of the railroad officials, the
railroad commissioners and the citi-
zens of the town held here yester-
day.
H. A. Williams division superin-
tendent of the Southern Railway,
and w. H. Newell, general superin-
tendent of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad, with their secretaries rep
resenting the railroads, and John G..
Richards and G. McDuffie Hampton
and T. B. Lumpkin, secretary of the
commission, with Miss Moore, STEM
ographer for the commission, were
met at the depot upon their arrival
here by committee composed of the
following citizens, representing the
town of Barnwell: Col. Harry D.
Calhoun, the Rev. w. ]. Snyder, DR..
R. C. Kirkland, P. NJ. Buckingham,
T. S. Cave, S. L. Easterling, w. j.
Lemon, J. E. Davis, J. A. Porter and
R. Boyd Cole.
The party first inspected the con-
dition of the Southern Railway de-
pot, going from there to the intersec-
ton of the Southern and Coast Line
railroads. 1t was soon decided that
to build a union depot would be i'm
practicable because Of the great cost
of erection. The station of the At
lantic Coast Line was next inspect
ed, after which the party assembled
in the directors room of the Home
Bank of Barnwell to discuss the mat
ter further. Maj. Richards presided
over the meeting. Col. Calhoun made
strong plea for better depot ac-
commodations and was ably seconded
by James E. Davis. Messrs. Will
liams and Newell spoke for the rail-
roads. The former practically prom
ised that Barnwell would be given a
depot, the exact duplicate of that at
Abbeville, and that it would be
equipped with separate waiting
rooms for white and colored and also
with a room for ladies-fn fact,
modern in every particular. Mr..
Newell in behalf of the Coast Line,
assured the meeting that every eff
fort would be put forth to have the
road that he represented enlarge and
remodel the present building. Blue
prints of the proposed new building
and improvements on the old are ex-
pected within the next two or three
weeks, and Mr.. Hampton personally
assured the meeting that if they are
approved work would be ordered to
commence shortly. It is expected
that the buildings will be completed
by fall.

FOOL FRIENDS, SAYS GOVERNOR
Writes Another Letter to Magistrate
Who Holds Job.

Greenwood, March 23.-There has
been some rather peppery develop
ments over the question of who is
magistrate in and for the town OF
Greenwood Yesterday morning
Judge w. H. Kerr received the fol-
lowing letter from the executive de-
partment:
"N1r. w. H. Kerr,
"Greenwood, S. c.
Dear Sir:
Il am informed that you continue
to act as magistrate. 1 have already
advised you that your commission
has been revoked, and while / had
hoped that you would gracefully re-
tire, I now repeat to you that you
are hereby removed from the office
of magistrate for neglect of duty
having failed and refused to make
your monthly statement in writing
to the auditor and treasurer OF the
county of Greenwood; and, further
act or acts on your part, as a magls-
trate, will be dealt with in accord
ance with law, and request that
you turn your books over to your
successor, J. w. Garfield. I call
your attention to sections Nos. 4O9
and 982 of our criminal code.
had hoped that you would retire
gracefully, but it seems you are al
lowing yourself to be made a dupe
of by some of your fool friends and
nv enemies. COLE L. BLEAsE,
"Governor"
In commenting on the letter Judge
Kerr says that it has not yet thun-
dered loud enough for him to turn
loose. He says the caused assigned
is one that will include every magis-
trate in the county and also the
sheriff and clerk of court. The law
requires these officers, as we'll as
magistrate, to make monthly reports
and none of them have ever done so.
At best, or worst, rather, Judge Kerr
says his class can be suspended.
From the tone of the governors let
ter he has not changed his mind
about standing by his appointment
and as the judge says he is of his
same opinion still, there will likely
be some doings yet.

Race Question Enters Strike.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March %
Setting out the reasons for the strike
of fremen on the Cincinnati South
ern railway, the general committee
Of the strikers to-day issued state
ment in which they declare that the
race question is the only thing that
figures in the trouble, declaring that
the management Of the railroad
broke it's contract with the brother
hood in placing negro flremen on
preferred runs. They say that the
contract was signed July. 1, 1910,
giving white fremen preference as
to work, runs and promotion; that
the contract was broken in Novem-
Der, 1910, but that when the atten-
ton of the superintendent was call
ed to the violation the negro who
had been promoted was taken from
the preferred run and a white man
put in his place.
The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
'The white firemen left the SER
vice of the company on March II :,
1911, and the strike is still in ef-
feet, and it is a fight to secure to
young white men of the South an op-
portunity of following the occupa-
ton of locomotive firemen without
being compelled to go North or West
to secure employment"

received here this morning of the ac-
tion of the United States grand jury

GIRLS LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Colored Child Victim of Runaway
Mules in Columbia.

Columbia, March 22.-The life OF
little Annie May Harris, twelve
year-old colored child, was crushed
out as she was returning from school
to-day, when a runaway team OF
mules, drawing heavy wagon
struck her body. The accident oc-
Cured before hundreds of people
who were powerless to come to aid
of the little girl. Her head was
crushed in several places, her neck
broken and her skull fractured
death coming almost instantly. No
arrests have been made, because OF
the explanation of the accident.
A negro boy was left holding two
teams near the Seaboard station, at
about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
The driver had gone into a ware
house to make an inquiry. A train
backed into siding nearby. One
of the teams of mules became fright
ened and, as the negro boy left In
charge was unable to cope with the
two teams, this one got away. Dash
ing down the street to a roadway
between car tracks, hundred yards
away, the mules bore down upon An.
ME May Harris as she carried he1
books homeward. What happened
then sent a shudder through >all.
Coroner Walker announced to.
night that he had made an investi.
cation, but upon the af1dayits be-
ing made in accordance with the
facts as here stated, he ordered nc
arrests. The team of mules is own
ed by a well-to-do colored man Of
this city.

Sunday have been found and it re
named for Miss Clara Ross. Ala $.

correctly, for which she has today
been awarded the five dollars due in
the contest. This was indeed a long,
arduous chase after the little words
that have baffled the skill of so many
people in this good town for the past
five days. Miss Ross has demonstrat-
ed that she has talent akin to that
possessed by that great sleuth, Sher-
lock Holmes, whom \. Conan Doyle
uses to such good advantage in his
great detective stories. Our hats off
to Miss Ross for her cleverness. She
deserves the award, for we know that
she has been diligent and persistent in
her labors to SUPPLY the required
words.

word that makes it easy for every.
body. Remember that today there is
but one word omitted-and that it is
taken from an ad that hasn't been
touched before.
Several persons have sent in lists
by special delivery. We appreciate
this manifestation of interest in the
contest, but we would suggest TO them
that it isn't the first letter received
that counts-but the first correct list
opened that wins the premium Of
course We would naturally be expected
TO open the special letter first, but
suppose that another letter beat your
