MILLION INVESTED
 IN SMALL FIRMS Despite Alleged Dullness the Corporations Prosper IA NEW COMPANIES The Records of the Probate Court Show That More Money Will Be
 Invested This Year Than
 Ever Before
IA NEW COMPANIES

The records in the probate court snow that during the month which closed to- day IA new companies were incorporated in Jefferson county.

No Time for Discouragement.

When the war ended in the spring
of 1865 a private OF the Sd South
Carolina cavalry rode his war horse
home, to find no food for his faithful
full steed in his lot buildings, not a
dozen miles from Barnwell.
Fortunately his good wife had
caused a small field to be soWn IN
rye the fall before. On that crop the
soldier made a plenty of corn, pota-
toes, etc., and was never again as
long as he lived short of home rails
ed provisions. He would turn his
horse in the field at sundown, let
him Craze all night, plough him next
day. giving a bundle of the rye stalk
and heads we'll soaked for the mid
day feed.
Another soldier came home from
Virginia, found his place and nelgh.:
borhood burned tclean of provisions
for people and animals. Yet he man
aged to get, through without making
a debt and at Christmas there was a
modest, but sufficient, supply OF
homemade provisions in his smoke
house and barn. Then he said to his
helpful wife: 1--WE have got through
this year without going in debt and
we can never see harder times. Well
20 through the rest of our lives with
out buying anything on credit
Another ploughed his milk COW and
made that year the beginning of easy
times for the balance of his life.
In disastrous 1881 two-horse
farmer made 80 bushels of corn. Tell
ing us of his experience the next
summer he said: I'VE saved that
corn for bread. Our hogs were fat
tened on pindars and our work stock
fed on pindar hay and nuts until a
fine, oat crop was ready for them.'
Put on your thinking caps, o
brother farmers, and master the fu-

became i'll; he was cared for by the
people of the town and when he died

ralacholia, Fla, were standing at

cal attention.
All of the gentlemen came to

and thinking it was his train, ran

ty feet from the depot and his body
was thrown through the steps OF the

was caused by concussion of the
brain and internal injuries.

Women to Fight Race Track.

The race track in the suburbs of
Charleston was heartily denounced IN
an adress before the Civic clubs yes
terday afternoon. The lady who made
the address and whose name was not
given in the report of the address
made to the News and Courier by a
member of the club, requested that
the club take some action in the mat
ter, stating that it would be brought
before other women's clubs, and that
they would be asked to take a stand
against the race track and to work
in cooperation with the ministers in
keeping it out of Charleston. The plan
is to interest the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs and institute a deter
mined statewide campaign against
the race track. The Civic Club re-
ferred the matter to the executive
committee.-Newsa and Courier.

FLORENCE WOMAN BADLY HURT.
Mrs. E. j. Jeffords Injured when
Train Strikes Automobile.

Florence, Nov. 25.-The deadly
Evans street crossing, of the Atlantic
Coast Line, in this city, came very
near claiming three more innocent
victims, when train No. 80, the north
bound passenger train from the
south, was, entering the passenger
yards here this morning.
Mrs. E. J. Jeffords, wife of Capt.
Evander J. Jeffords, of the Flor9nce-
Hartsville run on the Atlantic Coast
Line, was coming uptown, driving
an automobile. Seated in the car
with her were her little son. Master
Dede Jeffords and her sister-in-law,
Miss Bertha Lechnor, of Timmons-
vile, the latter of whom Mrs. jeff
ords had just met at the Atlantic
Coast Line station and was taking her
to her home on South Dargan street.
Just as she approached the crossing,
train No. 80 was seen to- be bearing
down heavily upon the machine and
before Mrs. Jeffords could get across
the track, the pilot of the locomotive
struck the machine and hurled. it to
one side, breaking it up and throwing
Mrs. Jeffords out and against an iron
post that was placed to keep wagons
from using the right of way.
Miss Lechnor and little Dede JEFF
fords, seeing their danger, jumped
from the machine just before it was
struck and managed to escape with
out scratch. 1t is thought that
Mrs. Jeffords became confused and
did not have time to think of jump
ing to save herself from injury, and
was caught in the machine when it
was struck by the locomotive. In a
moment after the accident occurred,
which was witnessed by number of
persons who were passing, Mrs. JEFF
fords was quickly taken up and rush
ed across the street to DR.. William
Ilderton's Infirmary, where medical
attention was promptly given her.
Upon investigation it was found that
her head was badly gashed, her face
lacerated and her collar bone broken.
Her wounds were dressed and she is
resting easily this evening.
Train No. 80 was in charge of
Capt. Jack A. Cults, with Engineer
Holdron at the throttle of engine 900.
one of the big copperheads, and was
coming in the yard at an ordinary
speed when the locomotive struck
the machine. The machine was badly
wrecked, but can be repaired.
This crossing has been the bone OF
contention for years and years, and
only recently, after great agitation in
the last municipal campaign, the
crossing being one of the issues, the
city council, instead of compelling the
Coast Line to place gates at this and
other crossings, and permitted the
Coast Line to have their way in the
matter and place a flagman, instead
of gates, at two Of the half dozen
crossings that the people think need
the protection of gates. AS a result
of the accident this morning, many
Florence people have in no uncertain
words to-day condemned city council
and the Coast Line for what seems
to be disregard of the public's
rights in not providing adequate safe
guards at the various crossings.

in the face of the oncoming steers
and crippled one. Then as the hero
stopped short he seized one by the
horns and rode it until the animals
got close enough to the fence fol
him to scramble off and climb tc
