The Indebtedness Of the Nevada
Utah company and its subsiderary
companies amounts to about $3.50, 900,
the greater part of which represents
overdue payments for mining prop

time. 1t Is hoped that the rtt rgan-
ization plan can be carried out with
out the expense and loss of values
incidentalto prolonged receivership.
and the outlook for this Is good but
the result will depend upon the
prompt action of the stockholders
in accepting the plan and in sub.

Briefly stated, the plan provides
for an issue of 100000 shares Of
stock, par value five dollars, and,
81 100000 first mortgage per cent

at par.
The stock so issued will be- dis.

The foregoing dispatch was re-
ceived this morning from T. J. Biv-
ems, engineer-in-charge Of the new
railroad, and doubtless will set at
rest the croakings Of some of the
'mossbacks" and chronic calamity
howlers." with which this camp to
some extent IL infested.
Within few days the dirt will
be flying and this element will then
have to sit up and take notice that
the sun has risen for New Phoebe.
But there are many people here
who do not begin to realize what
the building Of this 8,7l miles of
railroad really means to Phoebe; yet
II they resort to little sound reas-
oning, they can readily grasp the
situation.
First Of all. 1t means that the stet
rails are going to where the mines
really are. Heretofore, not single
mining company operating here--ex
cepting the Day-Bristol which has
the Phoebe Pacific narrowguage line
at its very door-has been able to
get away from an expensive wagon
haul.
The Prince railroad will change
to large extent. this situation and
will provide transportation facilities
for string of properties along its
right-of- way and enable them u
enter the markets with their ores
and providing employment for hund
reds of men. Not only that bul
the wagon haul from the mines Of
the Highland district win be Gu,
down more than half and the ef
feet will be that there win come
general revival of mining activt,
there and that will give a stimulou.

FINE COUNCIL INSTITUTED.
Stone Council, No. 2S, of Charleston,
Organized by Mr.. Otto Klettner,
Assisted by Ladies.

Great Representative Otto Klettner,
Of the Improved Order of Red Men,
has returned to Newberry after insti-
tuting a Pocahontas council, the la
dies degree of the order, in Charles
ton
The great council of Red Men of the
United States meets in Charleston. in
September of this year, and the need
for an active council of the Pocahon-
tas degree was felt in Charleston, es-
pecially in view of the approaching
meeting of the great council of the
United States. Great Representative
Klettner, who is known as the father
of the Pocahontas degree in South
Carolina. went to Charleston for the
purpose of instituting this council,
and he had the earnest ass. stance Of
the Great Pocahontas, Mrs. L. D. AL
len, and the great chief of records,
Mrs. H. B. SWEET, both of Rock Hill.
The membership was secured in for
ty-eight hours. 1t is large and active.
being composed Of ladies, with the
exception of about six members. Great
Representative Klettner is much
gratifed in the organization Of this
fine council in Charleston The insti-
tuition took place in the Irizh Volun-
teers hall. The council is Stone coun-
Gil, No. %, named in honor of Past
Sachem G. H: Stone, of Charleston,
who has been faithful and jealous in
his work for the Order.
Great Representative Klettner has
probably done more for the Red Mems
in South Carolina than
any other one man in it, and he has
been equally earnest in his work for
the Pocahontas degree.

SOUTHERN PASSENGER WRECKED
Train NO. Is Suffered Bad Accident
Below GreenviIIe Wednesday Al
ternOOn-Several Injured.

Southern passenger train No: 16,
east-bOund, from Greenville to Colum-
bia, due to pass Newberry at 9O5 p.
M, was wrecked seven miles below
Greenville on Wednesday afternoon.
Five passengers in the colored coach
were injured That there were no fa-
talities seems almost miraculous, when
the extent of the wreck is considered.
The baggage car and coach for ne
grces turned turtle and went down
an embankment and the track was
badly torn up for 800 feet.
The injured are: Mollie White, An
!tarson; Ethel Robinson, Anderson;
Annie Harper, Jersey City, N. j.;
Ielle Owens, Williamson, and John
wis, Griffin, Ca.
The train was running along at 80
lies an hour when the front trucks
OF the tender left the track In the
twinkling of al eye almost the bag
gage car and Inc coach Tor colored
people had left the rails. The con-
nection between the tender and the
baggage car was broken. The bag
gage car and the colored coach were
turned over and fell on their side
down a ten-foot embankment. The
front end of the white coach was
jerked from the track, but the con-
nection between it and the negro
coach was broken before any serious
damage was done. The trucks of the
white coach, however, left the rails
The Pullman sleeper, the fourth and
last car was derailed at the front only.
The tender was also derailed, leaving
only the engine and the rear trucks
of the Pullman car on the rails.
The escape of the mail clerk, the
baggagemaster and the ten or twelve
negro passengers from death is con-
sidered miraculous. The train was in
charge of Capt John w. Nix, of
Greenville.
Southern passenger No. II, bound
from Columbia to G~eenville, went up
as far as the wreck on Wednesday
evening, returning to Columbia as No.
Is, passing Newberry about l o'clock
Thursday morning. Traffic on the
Southern was badly delayed on Thurs
day, No. II, bound for Columbia, be-
ing several hours late.

Hen Laws in CITY Street.

Other cities are laying claims to
big events and achievements, claim
ing great things and proclaiming
themselves great on account thereof,
but while Newberry is not in the class
with Atlanta and can not raise as
much hambone to bite off the end,
nevertheless she can boast of chick
en- hen that made her nest on a side
walk in the city and laid eggs there
in, not stones throw from the tenn
pie of justice where the mayor and
the recorder and the chief of police
daily discuss matters of Importance.
The nest was in the neighborhood
of Hill & SEgh's store and was dis
covered by Mr.. Bob Sigh and Mr..
VIII Cromer. Witness to same,
Mr. Neely Buzhardt. In order to save
the hen from future embarrassment
and trouble the said Sigh and Crom-
er did deliberately and knowingly
liberate the said eggs from the afore-
said nest and break up the arrange
ment entered into between the hen
of the first part and the unwritten law
10 have the freedom Of the city in the
pursuit of her happiness in trying to
raise a brood in her own way and
time. The nest was on the inner edge
of the sidewalk in a clump of young
mulberry bushes, and if the hens
plans had not been thwarted by the
two citizens mentioned the old hen
would probably have succeeded in her
designs upon the law and order of the
town
The finders turned the eggs over to
Mr. John Robertson thinking they
were his property, but he didn't rec
ognize them and is deliberating the
problem as to ownership, trying to
reach a conclusion that will enable
him to keep the eggs while they are
fresh.

.(Rev. Edw. FuIenwider, Pastor).
The following program Of divine
services has been arranged for the
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer
next Sunday:
II a. m.-The regular morning ser
vice. The, pastor will preach the
fourth in the series of special SER
mons on the general theme: Great
Fortunes for Everybody" The subject
of the sermon will be: "The Great
Fortune of Human Life" Text Job
2:6: "But save his life"
This is a very timely and import
ant subject, one that needs the careful
and serious consideration of the men
of today. There is no doubt but that
there is careless and wanton de-
struction of human life today. In the
great greed for gain human beings are
sacrificed like SO many brutes. You
can scarcely pick up newspaper
without finding large headlines telling
of the destruction of life.
The Bible lays great deal Of stress
on the sacredness, value, and import
ance of human life.
Why human life is such great for
tune, and some timely lessons on how
we should regard it, and use it will
be presented in the sermon.
> p. m.-sunday school meets.
Please note the change in the hour
from 4 p. m. to p. m.
The public is cordially invited to all
the services.
