FOUR ARE INJURED.
Passenger Trains on the Southern
Butt Together.

Four persons were injured and the
two locomotives were smashed when
passenger trains "a and %, Southern
railway, collided head-on about three
o'clock Thursday morning at Barton
station about halfway between Co
lumbia and Savannah. W. C. Hud-
son, superintendent, Columbia, di-
vision, was on board train "a, en-
route to Columbia from Jacksonville,
and he took charge of the work OF
clearing the tracks and transferring
the passengers. The Southern's
Southeastern Limited passed the
point without delay.
Trains % and "a had orders to
pass at Barton. In some way they
collided just at the station. That
both trains were practically still
when the accident occurred accounts
for the slightness Of the damage. In
vestigation into the cause Of the acci-
dent is being made by the Southern
officials. Those injured were: l.. G.
Tanning, Salley, ankle sprained; Mrs.
NJ. F. Myers, Sandy Springs, bruised
by being thrown against a seat; DaV-
is Simmons, arm broken; T. A.
Lloyd, seriously injured. Simmons
and Lloyd are said in the Southern's s
official report to have been riding be-
tween the engine and baggage care OF

THE NAVAJO WAR.
Precautions Are Being Made Against
Indian Attack.

Four hundred renegade Navajo In
dians encamped on Beautiful Noun
tain, thirty-fve miles southwest OF
the Shiprock agency, sang war songs
and danced around council fires all
night Thursday, while sentries stood
watch at the many signal fires which
fringed the northwestern side Of the
Mesa. At Shiprock extra precautions
had been taken against a surprise
attack by followers Of Chief Be She
She, who have been wrought almost
to state of frenzy by their medicine
men. W. T. Shelton, Indian agent,
and his Indian police, who are still
faithful, Thursday began prepara-
tions to renew overtures to the abor-
igines.
Traders and settlers on the reser-
vation have become frightened and
have appealed to Agent Shelton for
protection. The other Indians Of the
reservation, more than 5000, have
given no intimation as to where their
sympathies. lie. It is upon the com:
ing of troops that the agency officials
and the settlers base their hopes that
bloodshed may be averted. There are
many at the settlement, however,
who express anxiety over the recep-
tion which the Indians will give the
troops. Some fear that the renegades
may offer armed resistance to the
troops.
That the Indians will use force on
occasion was evidenced by their arm
ed attack on the agency when they
released eleven tribesmen who, had
been arrested on federal warrants,
charging horse stealing, assault as
sault and battery, while more than
100 sympathizers stood on the bank
of the Little San Juan river ready to
aid them in their attack should the
agency officials show any intention
of offering forcible resistance to their
fellows.

WHIRLED on PULLEY.
Chester Youth Loses Clothes but
Saves His Life.

One Of the most remarkable es-
capes from death that has recently
been reported occurred at Wilksburg
a town in the western part Of Chester
County on Tuesday when Lonnie
Harris, a boy, who is employed at ne
gin Of C.. F. Wade, went down the
main shaft of the gin in an endeavor
to fix the belt back on the pulley,
which ran the apparatus that convey
ed the SEED from the gin. The ma
chinery was still running at a rapid
clip. AS he tried to slip the belt back
on his sleeve, hanging down, caught
in set screw in the pulley and in a
moment he was being whirled around
like a loose windlass.
It was at least five minutes before
the machinery was stopped. All the
time he was going so fast that it was
difficult to discern the outlines Of his
body. After the machinery of the
plant had been stopped everybody
rushed to him, expected to find him
corpse: instead, upon being closely
examined, it was found that he had
sustained only a few bruises. but he
was minus his clothes, which had
consisted of two shirts, a pair of
trousers, a brand new pair Of over
alls, socks and shoes. Everything
was torn into threads and all had
gone save a piece of sock and a shoe
on one foot. AS he whirled round
he passed by place in the wall that
had two long nails projecting, and
the young man was whirled in be-
tween these long nails. and it was
these that did the, tearing.

WOULD PUNISH THEM
MOB MEMBERS BROUGHT INTO
sPARTANBURG COURT.
Grand Jury Asks Solicitor to Prose
cute Four Men Named in Present
ment for Recent Attack on Jail.

Solicitor Albert E.--Hill, Of Spar
tanburg. is called upon, in present
ment made to Judge DeVore Thurs
day by the Spartanburg county grand
Jury, to prosecute members of the
mob who on the night of August IS
last dynamited the county jail in an
effort to lynch Will Fair, negro ac-
cused Of assaulting a white woman.
Four men are named by the grand
jury as members Of the lynching mob
and bench warrants for their arrest
were issued Thursday evening by
Judge DeVore.
"After careful investigation into
the assault on the JAIL the grand
jury reports, eve find that certain
parties, utterly disregarding the lives
of our officers and the county prop
erty, did make an assault on the Jail
with the intent Of taking the life of
Will Fair. We present to the court
W. r. Belcher, Jesse Wolfe, Bob Will
son and Robert Ward, and ask our
solicitor to prosecute them"
Foreman W. G. Query, OF the
grand jury, declined to disclose the
method OF procedure followed in the
grand jury's investigation, saying
that to make it public might inter-
fere with the apprehension Of other
alleged members Of the mob, who are
being sought.
The grand jury's action is. without
precedent. Fair was not lynched.
During battle, which ragged the
greater part Of the night and in
which three men were shot, Sheriff
". J. White and his deputies held the
mob at bay and in the morning spir-
tied Fair out of the jail and took him
to the State penitentiary at Columbia.
He was tried at special term of
court and acquitted, though his ac-
cuser, the young wife Of farmer,
swore positively that he had assault
ed her. Her story was believed By
the jury to be an hallucination due
to a condition peculiar to her sex.

DENIES COMBINATION
RICHARDS IN RACE on HIS OWN
RESPONSIBILITY.
Candidate for Governor Declares He
is Neither Political Dictator Nor
MoidIor

Denial of a combination with the
Blease forces, or any other combina-
tions, was made Thursday night by
Chairman John C. Richards Jr., OF
the railroad commission, who is a
candidate for governor. He says that
he feels that the candidates for the
United States senate are amply able
to take care Of themselves without
interference on his part. "I am not
presumptuous enough to attempt the
role Of a dictator, and do not pro-
pose for others to place me in the at
titude OF meddler," declared Mr..
Richards.
Major Richards says in his dictat-
ed statement:
ct have seen the editorial in the
Orangeburg Times and Democrat and
? have also read several letters from
another source, in which the writer
undertakes to give the political afil-
iations .of certain candidates for gov
ernorsmyself among them. The writ
er Of these articles does not assume
responsibility for his statements, nor
does he give the name Of his inform
ant. For these reasons have not
attached any importance to the state
ments and I am surprised that any
one else should. 1t seems, however,
that the editor Of The Times and
Democrat feels that they should not
90 unnoticed and calls upon me for
a statement.
ct desire to state that I have en-
tered into no com bfnations with any
man or set Of men; that am In the
race for governor on my own respon-
sibility, and that it is my purpose to
make that race with my past life,
both private and public, as one OF the
planks Of my platform and without
interference OF my part with the
candidacy of other people and for
other positions. I am not presump-
tuous enough to attempt the role Of
a dictator, and 7 do not propose for
others to place me in the attitude Of
a meddler.
'eT feel that the candidates for the
United States senate are amply able
to look after their own interests
without interference upon my part,
and that the white people Of South
Carolina are eminently qualified to
select their own officials, from United
States. senator to coroner, and I am
in favor Of allowing them the un-
trammelled right to do so. I trust
that this statement makes my posi-
ton plain to every one"
