TO BEGIN LIVE STOCK RAISING.
Chief of Dairy Division Coming to
South Carolina TO Start Work.

Washington, July 29.-S. B. III.
Rawl, chief Of the dairy division of
the department Of agriculture, leaves
here tomorrow afternoon to take up
with Col. Banks and others interested
at st. Matthews on Thursday the mat
ter of organization Of a cooperative
association for the initiation Of live
stock agriculture in South Carolina.
This will be the first attempt Of the
department. of agriculture to encour-
age, in a substantial ~way, the live
stock industry Of the State. Repre-
sentative Lever who is responsible for
the idea, said today:
1T is extremely fortunate that we
have been able to secure the services
OF Mr. Rawl for the initiation of this
important work in the State as chief
OF the dairy division of the department
OF agriculture; he is, perhaps, the best
equipped man in the service for such
an undertaking and in addition to
that, he is thoroughly familiar with
the local conditions of the State, be-
ing himself a graduate of Clemson
College and a native of Lexington
county.
Il notice some editorial comments.
particularly in The News and Cour-
ier, expressing some doubt as to our
ability to find markets for the live
stock which we may raise. When
consideration is had of the fact that
South Carolina is nearer Richmond
and even Chicago than most of the
live stock supply pointAof these cities,
think the objection disappears. We
can reach Chicago from st. Matthews
more quickly than you can from Aus
tin, Texas, or Guthrie, Okla. And. in
fact, than from most of the centres of
the cattle growing States OF the
West"

TWO KILLED IN WRECK.
LANCASTER AND CHESTER TRAIN

V. III. Craft Of Anderson, Travelling

eight Persons Injurcd-PeOple Were
Going to- Baseball Game.

Chester, July 3O.-Two persons were
killed and SO injured when q west
bound Lancaster and Chester train was
wrecked this afternoon at o'clock
at Hoopers creek, seven miles from
Chester, between the stations Of Orr
| and Knox.
The train was a mixed freight and
passenger and was filled with persons
who expected to witness the baseball
game between Chester and Dillon here
this afternoon.
The engine, tender and six freight
cars passed over the bridge at Hoop
er's creek in safety. A coal car
seems to have left the track and cut
the bridge. When the passenger
coaches and two freight coaches
reached the trestle the passenger
coaches went through the bridge,
dropping so feet to the stream be.
low.
Warned by his air brakes that
something was wrong, John Stewman.
engineer, looked back and saw part
of his train piled up in the stream.
He hurried to a nearby house and
communicated news of the wreck by
telephone to A. p. Mcclure, superin-
tendent, at Lancaster. Mr.. McLure or
dered him TO bring what was left OF
his train to Chester and return with
all the physicians he could secure
This order was obeyed and soon prac-
tically every physician and nurse in
Chester was on the scene. They found
scores pinned under the wreckage
with screams of pain and fear tiiling
the air.
The work of rescue was begtih at
once. A bridge was built froiti the
wreckage and by climbing from car
to car the injured were rapidly re-
moved.
Many remarkable feats were per-
formed in the work of rescue. Many
instances of self-sacrifice were dis
played as the physicians began to kx-
anime the injured, many urging that
those more seriously injured be cared
for first. ~".
Mrs. c. o. Williams and five chill
dren of Corpus Christi, Texas, had
been visiting relatives near Lancaster
and were on the train. All were in
jured. Fears are entertained for the
life of the mother. She risked her
own life to save that of her youngest
child.
b. +. Roberts, a travelling sales
man Of Macon, Ga, did wonderful
work in rescuing the injured and
brought five persons from the wreek-
age.
The train from the wreck reached
Chester at $50 o'clock and the In
jured were at once taken to a hos
pital. An extra force is on duty at
the hospital tonight and the Chester
physicians are receiving valpahls as
sistance from physicians of neighboT-
ing towns.
V. H. Craft of Anderson, a travelling
salesman, died while being brought to
hospital at Chester. Elijah Heath.
negro member of the train crew,
was in the baggage car when the
train was wrecked. He was instantly
killed. OF the half hundred injured
number are believed to have suf-
fered fatal hurts and six or more OF
the number may die.
