WAGOyS SHOULD
Be LINED UP
ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVOIDED
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
ON THE SQUARE.

Yesterday afternoon an accident
was narrowly averted on the square
on account OF the crowded condition
Of the southwest corner, where the
wagons are allowed to congregate
and congest without reason.
The lady whose name was not
learned was driving from Main to
Seventh when her horse became a bit
unmanageable and almost collided
with the wagons standing in that
part of the square.
1t would be very easy matter for
the drivers to arrange their teams
and wagons in such shape as net to
block the passage through that part
Of the square. The main portion Of
the travel through the square is
from Seventh 10 Main, and almost
daily it is blocked and frequently
made dangerous by the practice re-
terred TO. If the wagoners will not
DO this willingly, and We believe
they will when their attention is once
called TO il, then they should be re-
Q1ested 10 do 80 by the officers. It
is violation OF city ordinance and
should not be allowed.

THREE CAR LOADS
MARES AND HORSES
FROM FAR WEST
JAMES II. kANNoN AND JOHN S

AUCTION SALE IN MONT.
More Land Out There Than Folk,
and the immensely of Everything
Struck the Buyers from the Dimpt
of the Universe.

James H. Ramon, Of Glendale, ano
John S. Nelson, of Culleoka, have re
turned from Miles City, Montana.
where they purchased three car loads
of big draft mares and geldings and
colts at the big sale of horse flesh
last week. The stock will be placed
the finest stations from Tennessee
Col Ramon is enthusiastic over
the western country. What impress.
ed him most was the vastness, the
bignes OF everything that he saw.
He declares that he thought that Tex
as was a big place and that they did
things on an immense scale but he
is ready to concede that for magnif.
cent distances, for great ranches and
the immensely of all the undertakings
Montana has the Lone Star State
bested. However. the newer State
IS not so thtckly populated and land
IS more pln-itI than people.
Thousand acre farms and ranches
would be considered small in that
State" said COL Ramon. They
were just harvesting their wheat in
Montana and South Dakota. Every.
thing nearly is done BY power on the
big farms. No sooner is the wheat
taken from the land until prepare
lions are commenced to pillow for the
next crop. for there wheat follows
year after year. South Dakota has
suffered for lack of rain this year
but I never saw a finer prospect for
crops than they had in Montana,
where they had plenty of rain
Col. Ramon declares that the quail
ity of the mares and horses of that
country is much misunderstood by
the people here. While the stock is
generally branded much of it has the
finest strains of the Morgan blood;
that on some Of the ranches some OF
the fnets stations from Tennessee
and Kentucky have been kept for
years improving the breed Of the
horses. What impressed him very
much was the ease with which the
horses and mares OF that country
were broken.

A SEVERE ELECTRICAL
STORM THIS MOR|NG
KILLS -FOUR HORSES
THIS VICINITY WAS VISITED
WITH AN UNUSUAL DIS
PLAY.
Little Bisby Stock Farm Only Place
to Report ANY Damages-seems
to Have Been of Entirely LucaI
Nature.

Columbia ana immediate vicinity
was visited this morning between
3 and o'clock with a most unusual
display Of electricity which was &C
companied by heavy rainfall. There
has been no damage reported in the
city, but one case Of serious damage
is reported from Little Bigby Stock
Farm, four or five miles from town,
operated by c. A. and ]. S. Wright
Four fine thoroughbred horses be-
longing 10 ". Z. Matthews, of Mem.
phis, and one mule belonging to the
other parties were under one tree
on the farm which was struck by
lightning and al were killed. Each
OF these animals was worth at the
lowest estimate 5000, and it is very
doubtful if they could have been
bought for this sum.
Other trees or the place were shat,
tered. but fortunately there vas no
suck under them.
For twenty or thirty minutes the
storm continued, without any wind.
Pea after peal Of thunder followed
the quick sharp flashes of lightning
and the popping Of telephones and
ringing of the bells broke the SUM
bers Of those who were not up TO wit
ness the scene.
1t seems to have been entirely of
a local nature, not having extended
far into the country in any direction.
Lunn Perry was in town just at
noon and said one the most peculiar
freaks was displayed by the lightning
on his place near town, when it struck
the growing corn out in the open
field in two different places. In each
place much damage was done to the
corn, it being torn down and scatter
ed badly, and great holes being torn
in the earth.

MASTERY SERMON AT MORNING
SERVICE, FREEDOM OF cRRIS-

Many Warm Friends In Columbia Elk.
press Good Wishes for the Bishop
in His New Home in Virginia to
Which Hs viii Shortly Go.

Fifteen minutes before the hour
announced fer the service the congre-
cation began gathering at the first
Presbyterian church Sunday morn.
ing, where Bishop Collins Denny
preached and when promptly at IL
o o'clock the Bishop walked down the
aisle the church was comfortably
filled, and MS hearers were by no
means confined TO Methodists or
Uresbyterians, but many prominent
citizens and warm personal friends
of other denominations showing him
the compliment and themselves the
pleasure of being present.
The Scriptural reading was erom
Ephesians 2, and the thought was
the Freedom OF Christian Privilege.
The Bishop has Travelled throughout
Palestine and the countries of his.
roric times and possesses a ready
faculty of expression and appica.
ton that is at once both pleasing
and entertaining. His scholarly at
tainments being equalled by few men
in the pulpit he is a charming talker
at all times, but he was particu-
larly interesting in his theme SunCay
morning. 1t was a comparison Of an
cient and present day religious nber-
ties, and brought the additional
thought and fact that spirituality and
correct living and not UNCONVENTIONAL
connection was the Church of God.
Turning aside toward the close of
the sermon he took occasion to make
some local observations. He refer
red to the esteem in which he held
the courts when he was lad, and
how later on he had heard the law
yers tell their clients that to make
sure Of their case some one must be
brought into it who had a pull with
the court. He said When the judi
cial ermine is besmirched with per-
sonal influence or bribery the iiber-
ties Of the people are in peril. IL
there is in you any of the blood OF
Kings Mountain, any OF the blood Of
Indian wars, or any of the blood that
made the bravery and endurance Of
the soldiers in the contest between
the States the admiration Of all, then
it is time that you were rising up and
cleaning out the administration OF
the State, and building again On a
foundation of cleanliness and official
integrity"
Bishop Denny has a host Of warm
personal friends in Columbia who
were delighted to hear him here once
more before he goes to Virginia to
make it his home, and at the close OF
each sermon many took advantage OF
the opportunity to grasp his hand
and say word of regret at his de-
parture.
