Over l000E Lives Lost When The Titanic
Goes Down OF The Coast Of
Cape Race, 500 Miles Out
To Sea.

The White Star Line Steamship,
Titanic" the largest and most mag
nifcent sea going craft afloat went
down in two miles of water 500 miles
off the coast of Cape Race Sunday
night, and the consequent loss of life
causes to sink into insignifcance any
sea disaster in the annals of history.
The vessel struck submerged iceberg
at 1925 o'clock Sunday night and two
hours later her wireless ceased to work
not however before the news of her
distress had been signaled abroad and
vessels for hundreds of miles around
were rushing under full steam to her
aid. The Titanic carried 1920 passen-
gers and her crew was composed of
$50 people, of this number different re.
ports have come as to how many were
lost, some reports placing the loss as
high as 1900 souls, the details are meag
er, and it will be several days before it
will be definitely known just how many
actually persisted, as many who escap-
ed in the life boats may be picked up
by other boats and will be some time in
reporting, but the lowest estimate yet
given in any report is that at least 1000
of those on board persisted.
The Titanic was outward bound from
Southampton for New York and had
on board the most notable company of
personages who ever started to cross
the Atlantic upon the same vessel. The
following persons We're included in her
passenger list and are among the miss
ing:-Maj. Archibald Butt, Aide to
President Taft, John Jacob Astor, who
with his bride, formerly Miss Madeline
Force, was returning to New York,
Benjamine Guggenheim and George D.
Widener of the American Smelling Co.,
Col. Washington Roebling builder of
the Brooklyn Bridge, Isador Straus one
of the best known and wealthiest mer-
chants in the world, connected with R.
H. Macy & Co. of New York and other
noted stores, and many more people of
almost as great Importance, and equal
ly as well known to the world.
The monetary loss while something
enormous is impossible to estimate, the
vessel itself was valued at $40, 900, 900,
and its insurable value was only one
half that amount. Besides the personal
belongings of the passengers and crew,
the value of which was something en-
ormous, for she numbered among her
list of passengers some of the richest
persons in the world, she carried when
she left Southampton 3,43S sacks of
mail the value of which is unknown.
Frantic crowds eager for news of
friends and relatives who were passeng
ers on the i'll fated vessel, throng the
offices of the White Line Steamship Co.
in New York. but they bave to content
themselves with what meager details
are obtainable, which is at best of
very discouraging nature.

Hail Storm.

This locality was visited monday
afternoon by the most severe hail
storm seen here in years. The hail
was as large as partridge eggs and
lasted for several minutes, it was &C.
companied by a high wind. Luckily
it was too early in the seasoa for any
of the crops to be injured by it, and
we have heard of no damage by it in
this county. In and around Stanford
windows were broken from dwellings,
greenhouse wrecked and a silo blown
down.

DR.. johnson iii.

DIR. William johnson, the well known
colored physician was stricken with
appendicitis on last Friday and was
rushed to Lexington where he was
placed in the Good Samaritan Hospital
for treatment. He was taken to Lex
ington in an automobile, standing the
trip well and it is thought that by
having been rushed to the hospital
while the disease was in its incipiency
that no serious trouble will result
from it.
DIR. Johnson came here several years
ago, and by his exemplary conduct and
gentlemanly demeanor has won a host
of friends both among the white and
his own race. He has a splendid prac-
tice and everyone is hoping for his
early recovery and return to his home.

The growth of Lancaster in the last
ten years has been due chiefly to its
splendid school facilities, any number
of people having moved here to take
advantage of the splendid opportunity
offered for the education of their
children, and that this growth has
amounted to at least rs per cent of the
population, no one can deny. With
the erection of the new school building
and the materaial betterment of the
already splendid school facilities, we
hope to see Lancaster double its popu-
lation within the next ten years.
