Vile Baptist church will be of brick,
square built and the main auditori-
um will measure so by 40 feet. The
square tower will rise above each
front corner. On the north side will

be three sections, each measuring IS

from each other and from the main
auditorium. The church and the
Sunday-schcol will be arranged so
that all can be thrown into one large
auditorium. The roof will be gabled
and the interior will be ceiled with
metal.

SAVED FROM WATERY GRAVE.
ColOred Man Rescued Two Boys
from Drowning.

The Greenville Piedmont says for
the cool head and quick work of
Sloan Allen, a colored man in the
employment of the Greenville, Spar
tanburg & Anderson railway two
white boys, Otis Green and Bud Mes
bit would have probably gone to a
watery grave Thursday afternoon
when their boat capsized on the
Reedy river. Suddenly the boat cap
sized, turned turtle" as the ex-
preston goes and the two boys were
thrown into the water. Allen quick
ly grabbed a rope and threw it to
one of the boys who caught it
and was pulled to the bank.
When the rope was cast to the other
boy he missed it and went under.
He arose and grabbed the rope when
it was thrown to him a second time
and was drawn to the bank and
safety.

No Election in Clarendon.

Manning, May 2.-For some time
past petitions have been out in this
county for signatures asking for an
election on the question of re-estab-
fishing the dispensary, which was
voted out four years ago. Yester-
day the time limit expired and it was
ascertained that enough signatures
had not been secured and there will
be no election. This settles the ques-
tion for four years more and Claren-
don county will be largely dry that
much longer. 1t is reported that only
419 signatures to the petitions were
obtained, which was not enough by
about $50 if it is certain that they
were all qualified voters.

This matter Of working the roads
only bears out what The Herald has
been contending for for years, that is
greater publicity in our county af-
fairs. There should be monthly re-
portf rom the Supervisors office
showing every act of the board and
what every dollar was expended for.
Had this plan been in force possibly
there would have been less criticism
of the county board, at least the tax
payers would have known exactly
how and where the money was spent.
Our legislators should pass bill
providing for the publication of full
reports from all county officials
There should be a monthly report
from the magistrates as to fines col
lected and the cases stated, in fact
a full financial report from every Of
fcer.

Found Box With $4,000.

Chicago, May 2.-Edward Stone, a
brakeman on a local train running
between Chicago and Libertyville
last night held in his hands an old
shoe box containing $4,000 with
out being aware of it's contents.
The box had been left on the train
at Morton Grove by Herbert Schoen-
berg. Before the train departed
Schoenberg dashed into a car and
asked Stone if he had seen the box.
It was handed to Schoenberg who ex-
planned to the brakeman that it con-
tained money for starting a new
bank.
Stone was rewarded with 81.

Mondays Conventions.

From the report of the county con-
ventions, it appears that the friends
of Judge Jones will control the State
convention by a large majority, and
that the delegates will favor Wood
row Wilson for president. In many
counties no contests were made, but
even in those counties a majority Of
the delegates to the State convention
are said to favor the candidacy Of
Judge Jones. Blease carried New
berry solidly, and delegation of his
friends was selected. In Dorches-
ter, Lee, and Laurens Blease dele
gates were elected, and in Charles
ton and Georgetown there were con-
tests and two conventions were held.
These counties will each send two
sets of delegates to Columbia. In
Charleston Mayor Grace took charge
of things for his faction and held a
separate convention, while the oppo-
sition, with J. w. Barnwell as chair
man, held a convention as we'll and
elected delegates, etc.
If the result of the county con-
ventions is an index to the political
situation in this State, the governor
is badly beaten and Woodrow Wilson
is the choice of the people for presi-
dent. Judge Jones was endorsed by
his home county, Lancaster, and he
carried Spartanburg, Union, Green
vile, Anderson, Yorkville, Chester,
Marlboro, Dillon, Colleton, Hampton,
Aiken, Clarendon, Sumter, Darling
ton, and many other counties. Even
in Barnwell the delegation is said to
be divided.

We notice from the program OF
the State Press Association that there
are twelve subjects assigned to
members on which to prepare pa
pers. We hardly see how these pa
pers can be read in one day, and we
fail to see why the meeting of the
association should have been short
ened to only one day. The meetings
have never been less than two days,
and it seems to us that a serious mis-
take has been made.

The county convention set a good
example to the Democrats of Bam-

ferences of opinion, there was no
friction. While the campaign in this
county is bound to be interesting, let
it not be bitter. We all have to live
together here after it is all over, and
our regard for each other should be
greater than any political issue.

Index states that the association took
a trip over this same road two years
ago at a cost of $3.50 for each per-

$500. The Index is in error. The
rate on the trip two years ago was
$1,000 for each person, and why it
should be $500 this year we can
not understand.

Train Derailed Near Columbia.

Columbia, May IA score or
more of persons were injured when
train No. 81, on the Southern Rail-
way, from Washington to Jackson
Vile, was derailed about three miles
north of Columbia this morning at
s o'clock. Two sleeping cars and the
diner turned turtle. No persons
were killed, but several were serious
ly injured. A relief train was sent
to the scene of the wreck and this
brought the injured to this city,
many being carried to the Columbia
Hospital. Most of the passengers
were able to proceed to their homes
or on their Journeys to other cities
The train was a siX-coach through
train and was running at a good
speed. The axle on one of the driv-
ing wheels suddenly snapped, the
big roller fell under the engine, the
track being torn up for long dist
ance and the cars following the en-
CINE were all derailed.
Not a wheel was left on the track
and when the last three coaches
reached the torn up rails they turned
over. The dining car and the last
two sleepers were turned over, and
the passengers crawled out of the
windows and from between baggage
and broken furnishings. The day
coach, the combination car and the
express car were left standing, but
they were derailed.
One lady and one man had their
ears cut off and bad cuts about the
head and shoulders. Mr.. Martin, of
Washington, native of this State,
was en- route from Washington to
Springfield to attend the funeral of
his mother. He was injured intern
ally and had to be taken to a local
hospital. Five persons were en- route
to funerals. One woman had half a
dozen children. She was badly
bruised, but none of the children
were hurt.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor Dodd, of Charlotte. The train
crew did good work in keeping fires
down in the capsized diner and in
aiding passengers from the cars.
Many came into the city with their
heads tied up and lying on stretch
ers and cots.

cago. slight scalp wound and injury

Now that the railroads have re-
fused to carry out the reasonable
regulations adopted by the legislature
as to mileage books, the general as
sembly at it's next session should
pass a fiat two cents mileage rate and
enforce it. The railroads should be
brought to terms. They are getting
entirely too much in the habit of do
ing their own way, regardless of the
people or the laws.
