Five Killed in Wreck.

Danville, ILL.,, March 7.-Five per-
sons, were killed and nearly three
score injured tonight at Redwood
Bridge, two miles west of West Leb-
anon, Ind, by the derailment of the
Continental Limited train on the Wa
bash Railroad. All the cars left the
rails and some of them turned over.
A broken rail is said to have caused
the wreck. The locomotive remained
upright on the rails. Peru, Ind, and
Decatur, ILL.,, sent relief trains to the
scene. The wounded were rapidly
placed aboard a special train, COM
posed of two cabooses and hurried to
Danville.
Along the snowy banks of the river
fires were kindled to keep the women
and children warm. Residents OF
West Lebanon and Redwood crossing
hurried to the wreck with hot coffee
and bandages for the wounded.

CauStiC Soda.

Spencer, n. c., March 6.-Scaldeo
in a vat of boiling eaustic soda, Sam
Sydeham, aged %, from England
was carried to a Salisbury hospital
late this afternoon in desperate
condition. The seething fluid in a
large tank was used in boiling grease
from locomotives and Sydeh*rl lell
into it at al unguarded moment.
He was given medical attention
Immediately, but the skin dropped off
of his body from head to feet: His
sufferings were intense and his
screams for mercy were heard sew
eral blocks. His clothing was re-
moved and his body covered with oil
and cotton; sydeham began work

pected.

UNION TIMES PLANT BURNED.
Destroyed by Early Morning Fire
Origin Probably Incendiary.

Union. March 6.-The new build
ing of the Union Times Company,
erected only year or two ago, was
DESTROYED by fire at an early hour
this morning. The Union Times
newspaper will be published this
week as usual, the owners of the
Progress having rendered the use of
it's press and equipment for this pur-
pose.
The Rev. L. NJ. Rice, the editor
and largely the owner of the Times,
has exerted himself most earnestly
to raise the funds with which to erect
the building and provide the equip
ment necessary for the proper pub
lication of a modern newspaper. 1t
is understood that the insurance
covers about half the loss, though no
figures are given. Mr.. Rice will
probably lose a considerable sum.
The fire appears to have origin
ated in the second story of the build
ing in the rear end away from any
stove flues. While Editor Rice states
that he has no knowledge as to how
the fire started, it is evident that he
considers it as of incendiary origin.
The building was of brick. Only the
second story, with the presses and
other paraphernalia of a printing
shop, was burned, the lower f1oor,
which contained the office and some
printing machinery, had also con-
siderable stock of stationery mer-
chandise for sale and all of this was
practically ruined by the water with
which the fremen deluged the build
ing. The walls are intact. That the
buildings which enclose it on both
sides were saved is due to the good
work of the fremen. A wooden
building, probably hundred yards
behind the Times building, occupied
as residence, was also burned, but
whether it caught from flying sparks
does not seem to be known.
The Times has been conducting a
vigorous campaign against near
beer dealers and others alleged to
be engaged in illicit liquor traffic. A
number of raids have been made
within the past week. Editor Rice,
when asked about the report that
the fire had been set by persons who
have written him threatening letters,
said only that he had his private
opinion, which he did not care to
express.

Suffragettes Told to Labor.

London, March 5.-Two of the suf-
fragettes who took part in last nights
window-smashing campaign in Vic
toria street, near the houses of Par
Lament, were sentenced to-day to
two months imprisonment at hard
labor.
The magistrate has $50 cases
against suffragetts still to deal with
81 of them arising from the serious
riots of last Friday when the accused
caused damage to the extent of S25,-
900, and the others in connection
with last nights disturbances.
Alice Wright, described as an
American residing in Paris, was SEN
fenced to-day to two months impris-
onment at hard labor on a charge OF
window smashing yesterday morn
ing.
All the other women who were en-
gagged in the raid yesterday in the
West End received similar sentences
The addition of hard labor to the
term of Imprisonment is new de.
parture, and has caused dismay
among suffragettes.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proofs as This Should Convince
Any Banberg Citizen.

The public endorsement OF a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong
er can be had. When man comes
forward and testifies to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be appre-
ciated. The following statement
given by a resident of Bamberg adds
one more to the many cases of Home
Endorsement which are being pub
lished about Doan's Kidney Pills.

EDITOR CHESHIRE ATTACKED.
Injured by Magistrate Muldrow in
Anderson Newspaper Office.

Anderson, March 9.-V. B. Chesh-
ire, editor of the Anderson 1ntelli-
gencer, was attacked in his Of
flee to-day by Magistrate w. J. Null
drow. The encounter grew out of the
publication of an article, in the Intel
ligencer, which Mr. Muldrow consid-
cred to reflect upon him seriously.
Accompanied by G. E. Tolly, rela-
tive by marriage, Mr.. MuldroW went
to the newspaper office and demand
ed a detraction. 1t is said that as
Mr.. Cheshire reached to get some
paper, apparently with the intention
of writing out the apology demanded,
Mr.. Muldrow struck him over the
head with a billet. Mr.. Cheshire
backed out of the office on the street,
while, it is said, Mr.. Muldrow con-
tinued to hit him over the head. At
ter going about one hundred feet on
the street, Mr.. Cheshire pulled out
his automatic pistol and hred Twice
on the ground. Officers and friends
interfered and the fight ended.
Mr.. Cheshire was taken to drug
store to have his wounds dressed. He
bled profusely.
Late this afternoon Messrs. Tolly
and Muldrow were arrested on war
rants, charging assault and battery
with intent to kill The afldavits
were signed by Mr.. Cheshire. They
were admitted to bond in the sum
of $500 each by Magistrate Wilson.
The fight has been the chief topic of
conversation here to-day and to-
night.

HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav Prolorg Their Lives

At an advanced age waste Is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oily will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vino1 retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand
Try a bottle of V1nol with the un-
derstanding that your money will De

Search Abandoned for Mrs. Greever

Washington, March 5.-Discour-
aged after weeks futile attempt
to find some clue as to the where
abouts of his wife, who disappeared
in this city, Rev. w. H. Greever has
returned to his home in Columbia,
S. G. Relatives of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Greever, who have been in Washing
ton aiding in the search for the miss
ing woman, have also returned to
their homes.
Descriptive circulars have been
sent broadcast over the country, and
Mr.. Greever says that now the only
thing to do is to await developments.
He is confident his wife is still alive.
Mrs. Greever disappeared while
shopping in this city over two weeks
ago, and since then nothing has been
heard from her. She has not been
near her two young children, who are
with a relative at Tazewell, Va.
Mrs. GreeVer had been IN WASH
ington for several months for treat
ment for nervous breakdown, but
her condition had not been regarded
as serious, and on the day of her dis
appearance she seemed to be particu-
larly bright and happy.
Her disappearance has caused a
great deal of interest and specula-
ton, but so far it has been complete
mystery. Not the slightest clue has
been secured as to her whereabouts.
Rev. w. H. Greever is editor of the
Lutheran Visitor, published in Co.
lumbia, and is we'll known Luther
an minister.

Should Children Work.

The constant agitation against
child-labor is good and proper
thing, so far as it applies to the
sweat-shop work and the practice of
taking children from school to put
them to making money; but of late
years many school teachers and par
ents have been passing to the other
extreme, in relieving the child alto
gether of work.
This is much more true in the case
of city children than country chill
dren. The country boy goes home
from school at 4 o'clock, to milk
COWS, feed the cattle and chop wood !;
but the city boy is turned loose from
to 6 to fall directly into the hands
of that sulphurousSold party who "al-
ways finds work for idle hands to
do"
One cannot commend too strong
ly the action Of many leading pub
lie school boards in introducing man
ual training and domestic science de-
partments in their schools, in which
children are taught to do useful work
with the hands.
The first principle that should be
taught to every child is that useful
ness is the true test of greatness, and
that actual service will make one of
far more value than will mere book
oornino

Bogus Arthur Bowen.

Orangeburg, March 8.-The au-
thorities at the State penitentiary are
somewhat puzzled as just what to do
with a negro, who has been termed
Arthur Bowen No. 2. Some months
ago a criminal assault was attempted
upon a prominent married woman
near Springfield in this county and a
negro named Arthur Bowen was the
perpetrator. He made good his es-
cape and succeeded in eluding the Of
ficers for some time. A negro in an
adjoining county gave himself up tc
the authorities and said he was Ar.
thur Bowen.
This alias Arthur Bowen was taken
to the penitentiary and there identi'
fed by Springfield people not to be
the real Arthur Bowen. About that
time the real Arthur Bowen was cap
tured. 1t was thought that the bo'
gus Arthur Bowen was crazy. 1t ap'
pears that this fake Arthur Bowen is
still at the penitentiary and the au
thorities are puzzled as what dispo
sition to make of him. 1t was
thought that he was criminal anc
some county would want him. A
yet there has been no call for him
The real Arthur Bowen has beer
tried, given a 2O-year sentence and il
now serving his term.
