Negro Cripple Kills Brother.

Spartanburg, Nov. 1S.-In quar-
rel which started from Edward Nc
Jimpsey's demonstration with his
brother Irwin because of the latter's
abuse of Julia McJimpsey, Irwin s
wife. Eward shot Irwin in the heart
and killed him in their mothers
home on keene street, at 5 O'Clock
this afternoon. They are negroes.
Edward McJimpsey lost both legs in
a railroad accident several years ago.
After killing his brother, Edward
decided he would commit suicide. He
was dissuaded by his family, and in
stead surrendered himself to Police
man NJ. S. Turner, who arrived on
the scene soon afterwards. The slay-
er was locked up in the county jail.
Coroner J. S. Turner held an inquest
last night. The verdict was that
Irwin McJimpsey came to his death
from a pistol shot wound inflicted by
his brother, Ed McJimpsey.

Gus Eaves in Wreck.

A wreck of a passenger train on
the Pennsylvania Railroad ocurred
Friday of last week near Monmouth
Junction, N. j., the. train being call
ed the Pennsylvania Flyer. The
train consisted of five Pullman cars,
four day coaches, two baggage cars,
a mail and express car.
Mr.. a. J. Eaves, a Bamberg boy,
who is now living in New York, was
on the train, and was interviewed
by the New York Tribune, which
published his account, as follows:
A. ]. Eaves, of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company of New York,
who was a passenger on the train,
gave a vived description of the acci-
dent
The train felt just as if it had
run into an immovable stone wall, "
sal Mr.. Eaves, "and simultaneously
all of the passengers in the car in
which I was seated were hurled to
the forward end in a heap. The
coach then tilted to one side, and
passengers were thrown against the
windows, many of which were
broken.
There were screams of fright
from the women that sounded pitt
full, but it was soon learned that
none of the passengers was badly
hurt. AS soon as I was able to get
but, ran toward the engine to see
how serious the wreck was.
II found the engine lying on it's
sic and could hear grOans from the
engineer and fireman., who were
pinned underneath. Several passen-
gers, including myself, made our
way through the escaping steam and
managed to get hold of the fireman
and pull him out. He was bleeding
and badly burned. Others went to
the aid of the engineer and soon they
were able to drag him out from the
debris.
There were cries for a doctor fol-
lowing this, but unfortunately no
physician was on the train. Stretch
ers, however, were obtained, and the
engineer and the fireman made as
comfortable as possible. Cold water
was poured on the charred face of the
engineer, and he finally regained
consciousness. His first question
was, Are any of the passengers
hurt?' None of the railroad men
will commit themselves as to the
cause of. the accident. The engine
left the track at a switch that is con-
trolled from the switch tower at Mon
mouth Junction. The switchman
said the levers were properly placed. y

At last the big generator at the

MI Camp, the superintendent, did the
work in first-class style. The put

will greatly improve the service, as
the new and smaller machine has
been running with an overload.

Cotton is selling in Bamberg to-

amount to 1000 bales.

HIT
At THE BIJOU
The Red Cross Nurse" Is
Clever Drama.

Another big hit was scored las.
night at the Bijou theatre hy The
Miller Stock Company, in presenting
the comedy drama, THE Red Cross
Nurse That the play 'Jooh" was
easy TO see, by the amount Of ap-
plause given. The Red Cross Nurse
is a play teeming with human inter
est and pathos, yet tjnged with sen
sation and funny situations
The roles Of Capt. Trarers" and
Capt. Powell were very veil pre-
sented by Al. F. Dewitt and Edwin
Farney. The character Of Col. Pat
tie taken by Samuel Miller, was
acted exceptionally well. while Clare
Evans drew much laughter in the
role Of "Wally Astorbilt." Babette
is seen as "Maude Travers," which
she does very well. Marie Harcourt.
as Mrs. Pattie,' was very pleasing.
as was Maurice Jenkins in the role
of Michael Rafferty," Miss Flor
ence Pinckney, taking the part Of
the nurse as "Phlis Delevan," had a
difficult part, but her portrayal of
the nurse was remarkably well done.
Next week La Belle Marie" Ag-
mes Herndon's famous play, will be
presented.

AMENDMENT is
TURNED DOWN
Formally of Roll Call is
Not Demanded.

Washington, June 27.-The Root
amendment to the reciprocity bill was
killed in the senate without even the
formality Of a record vote. In the first
test of strength on the bill the senate
defeated the proposal by a viva voce
vote.
President Taft expressed great sat,
~.sfaction owe the result The friends
Of reciprocity accept 1t as a prediction
OF what is to follow when the final
vote is taken on the reciprocity meas
ure.
The Root amendment proposed to
delay the free admission of wood pulp
and print paper into this country until
all restrictions against the expectation
Of these products had been removed
by the Canadian provinces. Under the
terms of the bill in its present form
pulp and print paper will be admitted
free from all provinces except those
that maintain export restrictions.
Steps were Immediately taken look
ing toward the fixing of a date for
voting upon the reciprocity and other
tariff measures. An agreement was
drawn up by Chairman Penrose of the
finance committee and submitted to q
number of senators on both sides of
the chamber.
This argument proposes that a vote
should be taken by unanimous consent
on the Canadian reciprocity bill on
July 24g on the farmers free list on
the following day, and on the Under
wood wool bill on July 90.
There was considerable interest man
Tested on the floor when Senator Pen
rose produced this document. He took
1t to the vice president and the two
retired to the e Of the senate cham
Der and began summoning senators to
take a look at it.
The Progressive Republicans, when
they learned Of the agreement, held
hurried conferences and the indications
are that even if the Democrats ac-
q~uiesce in the agreement a number Of
the Progressive senators will stand
out against 1t. In such a contingency
the agreement will fail.
When the reciprocity bill was called
up by Chairman Penrose Of the finance
committee Senator Cummins of Iowa
gave notice Of an intention to address
the senate tomorrow upon the measure
and particularly in regard to amend
ments he intended to propose.
Announcing he had opposed the reel
procity pact since its initial appear
ance, Senator Thornton Of Louisiana
said that if such a free list could be
agreed upon as would recompense the
farmers for loss he might support the
agreement.

Washington, June 27;-Sensation-

FREDDIE WRITES UP

There's a pretty good show at
Proctor's this week. The sketch

Gee a fellow gets sick of all this talk
about love, and when a real sketch
like this ONE along with burglars
and detectives-well, it just gets
us.
There's a mighty clever guy in
that sketch and when the detective,
who Is a crook himself tries to make
the real burglar who has escaped to
his house, divvy up with him, why
he turns on a talking machine, and
gets a flash light and the crook de-
tective has to let the burglar go.

home. That fellow was a brick.

If l could somersault like them three
fellows do. you wouldn't catch me

Mile. La Belle Leresita is a peachy
wire walker all right. She did some
stunts on that wire that sort of took
your breath away, especially when
she jumped over a table onto the
wire. That was some trick, let me

that the pictures were dandy, cause
