COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.
Plans For the Field Day Exercises
Discusscd-Dr. WauchOpe's Lecture
Well Attended.

With one more meeting of the as
sociation to be held during this year
the teachers OF the county met Sat-
urday at the Hampton school building
to listen to DR.. Wauchope's lecture and
to take further steps toward prepar-
ing for the Field Day Exercises which
are TO be held here in April There
was a good attendance present and
much interest was manifested in the
meeting.
DIR. Wauchope's lecture for Saturday
was the fourth of his series and was
on the subject Writers of South Caro-
lima He was listened to with atten-
ton and the teachers present found
his lecture both instructive and inter-
esting.
In the discussion Of the Field Day
Exercises II was decided that the city
schools would not take part in any
of the contests as they were to be
the hosts on the day OF the exercises
and as there was so large a number OF
pupils In the city schools who would
be here to take part that 1t would not
be fair to the country schools. Mr..
Edmunds. in a letter to Mr.. Scott,
president Of the County Teachers AS
ISOLATION. made his reasons for not
wishing the city schools to take part
In the exercises very clear and his
reasons were so excellent that 1t was
decided as he wished.

BRIDGE BURNED AT LYNCHES'
RIVER.
Trains Cut off From That Section
Sunday AfternoOn-Damag Several
Thousand Dollars.

Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock
the A. c. l.. railroad trestle over
Lynches' river was found to be on
fire and before the fire was stopped at
least 200 feet of the trestle had been
burned to the ground. Train hands
were hurried to the scene this morn
ing and a train load of lumber and
ties was shipped to the scene to have
the damage repaired as quickly as
possible.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from the fire in the surrounding
swamp and woods which have been
burning for several days. The part
of the trestle is on the Darlington
side of the swamp and about 200
feet of the trestle has been burned
All trains were stopped at the station
on this side, Elliotts, and on the other
side of the bridge, Lamar. Yesterday
afternoon-the stations nearest TO
the fire-there being no communica-
ton at all between Darlington and
sumter. The train from Bishopville
was run in yesterday afternoon. how
ever, and went out while the regular
Gibson train made it's trip between
Elpson and Lamar. On Monday
the train to Bishopville was run out
to that place again and a special train
was run to Gibson by way OF Flor
ence.
The loss done the trestle can no,
be closely estimated although Super

tics were begcn by Democrats against
the tariff board bill. The only ex-
planation Mr.. Bailey could make was
that he was unable to call off his COL
leagues.
In this state of affairs, it took lit
tie to arouse his anger to flame. All
it needed was the open slap given
aim today, when he advised against
the adoption Of the Owen motion in
regard to Arizona Statehood. AL
though that motion was defeated, it's
defeat was due almost entirely to Re-
publican votes.

The fatal accident Friday at the
railroad crossing on South Sumter
street was no surprise. the only won
der II that there have not been many
other accidents at this danger point.
Every person who crosses the
railroad tracks on Sumter street at
night does 80 at imminent risk OF
death or serious injury. There should
be gates at this crossing--gates should
have been placed there several years
ago--and II Is to be hoped that the
death Of the unfortunate victim OF that
nights accident will so emphasize the
need OF better protection OF the public
who must use the crossing that gates
VIII be installed and watchmen kept
on duty day and night.

Miss Ninette Porter, Braintree, Ver-

Peruna.
81 had several hemorrhages of the

me free advice.

TRAIN KILLS NEGRO WOMAN.


Friday night between 10 and II
O'Clock Elsie F'rierson, a colored WO-
man about fifty years old was knock
ed down by backing cars and one Of
hcr legs was cut off. She was at once
taken 10 the Sumter hospital where
her leg was ampu;atcd. She died
from the shock about $50 a. m. Sat
urday.
From the evidence taken at the
corOner's inquest on Saturday it
seems that Elsie was going home from
church with several other negro wo-
men and when they came to the Sum-
ter street crossing on their way home
they were stopped by the crossing be-
ing blocked by several cars which en-
tended for about two car lengths
across the track. They waited for
quite a while and as the track was
not cleared and other persons came
along and went around the end of
the train of cars they decided to go
around that way also. All had passed
except Elsie when the engine started
off to make clearing at the crossing.
The rear car struck her and knocked
her down, between the trucks, run
ming over her leg and crushing it be-
low the knee.
A doctor was called for and he had
Elsie taken to the hospital where
Doctors China, Baker and Birnie am
putated her leg just below the knee.
She died from the injuries received
later on in the night.
All Of the witnesses testified that
there was no light on the rear Of the
cars and that there was no bell to
warn them that the car was abo; to
start. The conductor in charge Of the
train stated that he was on top of
one Of the cars with white light but
that he did not know anything about
the accident or the woman trying to
cross until his attention was attracted
by the screams Of her friends. The
engineer knew nothing at all about
the accident except that he had been
signalled to start the train and then
had been signalled to stop it before
he had gone more than half a car
length. He had stopped it at once
and had then waited until the switch
man had come to him after the wo-
man had been taken to the hospital
and told him that a woman had been
run over.
The jury, which consisted Of the
following men, found a verdict to the
effect that the woman, Elise Frierson,
had come to her death by being run
over by an A. G. L. railroad train: II.

Windham, II. r. Campbell, ]. r.

Scales, j. A. Plnson.
Elise Frierson was good kind of
colored woman. She leaves several
children and grandchildren.

Regular shipments are being made to the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas also. This prop erty has been a steady producer for about three years and is a very valuable group of mines. being only about a mile from the Morenci Southern railroad, thus making the cost O. transportation very low, which is great factor in nining in the southwest Clifton Era.
