BOTH LEGS CUT OFF By TRAIN.
White Man Probably Fatally Hurt
on the Seaboard-

A white man named Marlborough
had both legs cut off by a through
freight on the seaboard at 1,ota, sew
en- miles east Of Greenwood, Tues
day afternoon. From the reports re-
ce1ved, 1t appears that Marlborough
and his wife had just come to Lota
to begin work on farm. His house
hold effects were expected on local
freight Tuesday, and he and his wife
were at the station. In some way
Marlborough got under the train and
was run over, losing both legs be-
low the knees and receiving a bad
cash on the head. He was carrie |!
to Greenwood late Tuesday evening
and hurried to the hospital. Reports
from there indicate little hope for his
recovery.

FOUND A BARK ADRIFT
CREW HAD IN SOME WAY DE-
SERTED THE VESSEL.
When Eound She Was TN Good Or

Soul on Board.

With sails snugly furled, the life
boats In the davits. the galley plen-
ufullJ supplied with provisions and
water, but without q vestige OF hu-
man life aboard. the Norwegian bark
Remittent, Rio Grande to Liverpool,
was picked up January 10 IN mid
ocean by the British steamer Rou-
naniaa. according to Capt. Claridge
of the latter vessel, who arrived At
Newport News, Va, on Wednesday.
The strange disappearance of the
Renittent 8 crew rivals that OF the
Marie Celeste Of Conan Doyle's story.
The Marie Celeste, according to
Doyle, was found adrift OF Teneri1e,
with her captains papers on the
cabin table and every indication that
souls were aboard within q few hours
before her discovery.
When picked up, only to be lost
again during severe storm, the Re-
mittent was in latitude 40 degrees 80
minutes. and longitude 81 degrees 80
minutes. The bark sailed from Rio
Grande October Is. last. and never
was reported until found by the Rou-
manian. Capt. Claridge refused to
venture . guess as to the possible
whereabouts Of the Remittent's crew.
Members Of the British steamer
crew state that the bark was sight
cd. drifting On January 10. Repeat
ed efforts to get responses to signals
from the bark were fruitless- Final
~ q boarding party was launched
from the British ship and a careful
search was made in the bark for the
member OF the crew.
Everything aboard the bark was in
perfect order, but no trace Of life
could be found and nothing might
give q clae to the mystery was dis
covered. The bark was taken in tow
by the British steamer. When sew
e,al miles OF the Virginia capes a
severe storm was encountered. In
the midst OF the gale the hawser con-
nected With the bark scnapped and
she began drifting away.
Two liteboats were smashed and
their crews narrowly escaped drown
ing in an effort made to recover the
bark. Finally the attempt was given
ND. When last seen by members of
the Roumanian's crew the bark
seemed to be riding out the storm
well. The Remittent Is registered as
OF 351 tons net.

THE TURKS IN A BAD WAY
ALLIES SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR
WAR MEASURES,
Great Distress and Suffering Among
the People in Constantinople, Who
Want Peace at Once.

The Bulgarians are deTotins their
chief attention to the bombardment
OF Adrianople and an attempt to cap
ture the Gallipoli peninsula and 30
take the Turkish forts in the rear.
An official dispatch, issued at Con-
stantinople, indicates that the Bull
garians have been successful in their
first operations in the latter quar-.
ter, and, according to Sofa dis
patch, the capture Of Galiipoi is the
chief object of the Bulgarian BIZ
tions for the time being, and no ser
ious attempt will be made to force
the Tchatalja lines.
The same dispatch says that the
Bulgarian attack on Gallipoli is sup
ported by the Greek army In the
Gulf of Saros. Fifty thousand Bull
garians were landed along this coast
last November and it may be presum-
ed that during the armistice this
force was strengthened by artillery.
Should the Bulgarians capture the
Turkish forts there is nothing to pre-
vent the Greek feet from entering
the Dardenelles, where, in the opin-
ion of naval officers, it could easily
defeat the inferior Turkish feet, in
which case Constantlnople would be
at the mercy of the allies.
The Turkish Government evidently
is in dire straits for money, even at
tempting to dispose Of the crown
jewels and making despairing at
tcmpts to place treasury bonds In
Turkey, Egypt and among the Mos
lens in India. The Ottoman consul
at Bombay claims to have apphca-
tions for bonds amounting to s5,-
100000.
The London Daily Telegraph pub
fishes a long uncensored dispatch
from it's correspondent, Ellis Ash
mead Bartlett, at Constantinople, in
which he says the Turkish people
are in such a state of misery and
destitution as result Of the war
that they are completely Indifferent
as to the face Of Adrianople.
"The Cabinet is in a Quandary,
says the correspondent. 1T knows
that it will be compelled to cede
Adrianople and is only seeking some
means to save its face. 1t is said
that the coup d'etat was only intend
ed to occur if Kiamil Pasha surreu-
dered Adriarople, but was precipi-
tated by some mistake. Hence the
difficulty the ministry now Is in.
There is no: cent in the treas
ury, and there are no means Of get
ting money until peace is concluded,
and, meanwhile, the country is drift
ing to ruin and bankruptcy.
"a great anti-war demonstration
occurred Sunday in front Of the war
Office at which the Young Turks were
publicly denounced as murderers
and thieves. Mahmoud Shefket
Fasha appeared on the balcony and
tried to make a speech, but was
greeted with opprobrious epithets.
"The misery in the Turkish Caol-
;al is understandable. 1t has been Bit
terly cold with a heavy snow, The
soldiers are ill-fed and badly shelter
ed. Smallpox enteric fever, dy,e'.'
terry and pneumonia nave replaced

tisated.
The petition from twenty-five Con.
federate veterans, asking the house
to investigate the management of the
Confederate indrmary in Columbia
during the past two years, which was
referred to the committee on ways
and means last Tuesday night, Is siv-
en- below in full
ITO the Honorable, the General As
senbly of South Carolina, in Reg
ular Session, January -, 1913.
"Humbly petitioning, the under
signed veterans Of the War Of Seees-
sion would respectfully show:
81. That we have heard from what
we consider reliable sources that our
more unfortunate comrades at the
Confederate infrmary Of the State
are not so well cared for as they
should be.
80. That they are not allowed to
exercise the rights Of citizens as 9TH
er citizens do.
"3. That they have not been prop
erly clothed or fed.
~. That unreasonable rules are
made for their control and restraint.
"5. That they have been subject
to tyranny, oppression and deceit.
"s. That they are sought to be ter
riiied into submission by threats OF
suspension or expulsion, and some
have been suspended and others ex-
pelled for trivial offenses, or no Of
fense at all.
90. That we can not believe that
the laws contemplated suspension OF
expulsion from the infirmary OF a
veteran who has severed all social
ties, has nowhere to go and Is In
tended to be the honored guests Of
the State for the rest of his life.
"8. That the laws of the State are
amply sufficient to govern these vet
erans just as other citizens Of the
State are governed who live In their
own homes.
1.-THE premises considered, we pray
your honorable body 70 fully investi-
gate the management Of said in1rm-
ary for the pastrtw years or longer.
and that such enactment shall be had
as will insure the freedom, comfort
and satisfaction Of its inmates, 30
that they may feel like honored
guests and not as convicts or erring
persons who are taken to house Of
correction; that those who may have
teen expelled or suspended may be
re!nstated, and for such other, fur
ther and general relief as unto your
honorable body may seem meet.
"And your petitioners will eves
pray, etc

The Beach family physician, DR.. c.
D. Hall. testified that he was called

q three-inch wound In her throat;
Q superficial wound in the left breast
and an abrasion on the left ear.
WAS the attitude of Mr.. and Mrs.
Beach toward each other one Of af-
fectton?" he was asked.
"Yes. M. Beach held her hand
all ths time was dressing her
wounds"
DIR. Hall said that he saw Mrs.
Beach before she was carried up
stairs and that she told him then that
she had been attacked by negro.
On cross-e1aIinatioa the solicitor
made inquiry as 70 the room IN which
the Beaches were sitting, according
to Mrs. Beach's story to the doctor
when she went to let the dogs out.
DR.. Hall said they we're sitting In
the living room on the first floor, the
entrance to which was but a few feet
from the front door.
Assuming then that Mr.. Beach
was sitting In the fartheruosr cor

piled.

He said the police turned the ear

them to Beach after he had satisfied

"Beach seemed surprised to iearr
