MrJ T Caster, foreman of the

Mr. J T Caster, foreman of the
county bridge force, was struck on
the head and instantly killed by the
branch of tree at Clapp swamp, Z
miles west of Kingstree about 8
o'clock yesterday morning.
MIR Caster had been in the employ
of the Road Engineers department
of the county as foreman of bridge
construction for some years and was
an honorable, faithful and efficient
man. He was about fifty years OF
age and leaves a wife and a large
family of daughters. Mr. Casters
home is at Johnsonville, where he
owns small farm. He expected
soon to give up his position with the
county and return to his farm.
As far as we can learn, the un-
timely death of Mr. Caster came
about in this way: The bridge force
was engaged in building a bridge IN
Clapp swamp and had cut a large
cypress tree, which lodged against a
gum-tree; the gum was cut and both
trees swung down with tremend-
Gus force, striking small poplar in
their way. The poplar, being brit
tie, broke into several pieces, which
were hurled with immense force in
the direction of Mr. Caster, who was
standing with Road Engineer Eaddy,
as they thought, at safe distance
from the falling trees. A portion
of the poplar struck MIR Caster
squarely on his head causing a COM
pound fracture. He died instantly.
His remains were taken by wag-
on to his home at Johnsonville, yes
terday afternoon.

CHINESE CHRISTIANS PLAN
INDEPENDENT CHURCH

NANKING, Dec. 16.- Chinese
Christians to the number of ITO to-
day took preliminary steps toward

church to be free of foreign control.

and to draw into the church all edu-
Gated young men who profess to be
Christians but who do not attend any
of the existing churches. This action
is the outcome of rousing revival
which foreign missionaries held here
last spring. Thousands of Chinese
attended and 400 signed cards to in
dicate the desire to study Christian
ity. One hundred and seventy of
these objected to joining churches
which were dominated by foreigners.
The plan to organize native con-
trolled church followed. The foreign
body held several discus
sions over the action appointed a COM
mittee to assist the Chinese in draw
ing up the necessary constitution.

SMALLEST NATION IN THE
WORLD ON WAR PATH

ROME, Dec. 16.-San Marine, the
smallest, but nOnetheless one of the
most obstreperous republics in the
world, is again at loggerheads with
Italy. Recently the tiny republic
passed a law obnoxious to the yati-
can. The latter protested but San
Marino refused to bulge. Then the
Vatican withdrew its minister and
Immediately thereafter San Marino
withdrew its, and the two powers are
still at cuts.
A little later, San Marino solicited
the gift from Italy of two antiauated
cannon and at once increased its war
footing by organizing an artillery
corps of nine members. Later it was
discovered that the republic was so
small that there was no point within
the kingdom where artillery practice
could be indulged in without the can
non balls dropping in Italian terri
tory and thus creating hostile act.
San Marino had no sooner apologized
to Italy for this than she again start
ed fresh trouble.
Like France, Italy and most of the
other powers, San Marino exercises
government monopoly on tobacco
from the sale of which it receives
most of its state revenues. The gov
ernment's supply is purchased from
Italy and ordinarily amounts to a half
ton year.
In 1911, however, the San Marin
ose did not chew and smoke so much
as ordinarily and San Marino pur-
chased from Italy only quarter of
ton Of tobacco. This year smoking
and chewing is more popular and San
Marino has demanded of Italy that it
come across with the other quarter
of ton to which it was entitled in
1911. Italy says it won't and San
Marino has all but said that if it
don't, she'll take the antiquated can
non which Italy presented to her and
shoot the surrounding Italian terri
tory, which consists exclusively of
barren uninhabited mountains, full of
three inch holes.
