FOUND INJURED By TRACK.
Two Men Helped by Trainmen Taken
to Summerville.

Summerville, Nov. 26.-The train
arriving here from Charleston at
1880 last night brought two men it
had picked up near the track be-
tween Ashley and Ingleside. The en-
gineer thought he saw them when
on his down trip and on the return
trip they were taken on board. One
of them, identified as Trenholm
Boone, was very badly injured; the
other. his brother, seemed more daz-
ed and could not give an account of
how they came to be in that condi-
ton. 1t is believed that they fell
from a freight train while attempt
ing to steal a ride. The railroad
physician ordered them sent to a
hospital in Charleston, but before
the arrival of the down train Tren-
holm Boone died. His brother was
sent on to the hospital. Magistrate
Limehouse took charge and allowed
the family to remove the body of the
dead man.

YEGGMEN ROB SAFE.
Unknown Parties Get Away With
Loot at Duncan.

Spartanburg, November 26.-The
postoffice safe in the store of A. NJ.
Smith. at Duncan, S. c., a station on
the main line of the Southern Rail-
way, ten miles west of Spartanburg.
was robbed last night by yeggmen,
who made a clean job and have got
ten away with their loot, amounting
to $3G3 in stamps and money approx
mating S235. Nitro-glycerine was
used, and though two distinct eXplo-
sions were heard during the night
by citizens of the place, the robbers
were not disturbed in their opera
ton and nothing was known of the
robbery until this morning when
Postmaster Smith opened his place
of business. The postoffice authori-
ties were promptly notified and have
had cooperation of the authorities
of both Spartanburg and Greenyille
counties during the day in their ef-
forts to get a trace of the robbers.
At noon today two men, giving
their names as Charles Brown and
J. C. Ross, were. arrested by Spar
tanburg officers near Duncan, and
are being held in the local Jail un-
der suspicion. The officers believe
they may be "spotters" for the men
who did the job.

man, blew open a safe in the same
postoffice several years ago and was

Not Her Grudge.

The fact that corporal punishment
is discouraged in some public schools
is what led Harry's teacher to ad-
dress this note to the lads mother:
II regret very much to have to
inform you that your son, Harry,
idles away his time, is disobedient,
uuarrelsome and disturbs the pupils
who are trying to study their lessons.
He needs a good whipping, and l
strongly recommend that you give
him one"
Whereupon Harry's mother re-
sponded as follows:

self. l amt mad with him. Yours

A Debt Paying Religion.

We have all ways been in favor of
a debt paying religion. While
money is no proof of ones Christ
ianity. the handling of it is a fine
indication of character, and the fel-
low who is a wilful dead beat knows
nothing about the great principles
of the Christian religion, which
teaches honesty, justice and the care
of ones reputation.-Greenwood

WINCHESTER COURT

Between 100 and 800 head OF
cattle were on the market Mon
day at Hamilton's stockyards,
and the market was fairly brisk,
although the cold weather had
kept many people at home. The
prices were about the same as
last court day, ranging from 6 to
8 cents.
A large number of mules were
on the market, but not many had
been sold during the morning
Prices ranged from $500 to $3.50
One of the smallest crowds in
town for court day was there
Monday, the cold weather pre-
venting the people from coming
out.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT
STIRRED BY KILLING

The British Parliament and
press have been stirred by the re-
cent killing Of William S. Benton,
a British subject, by order of the
Mexican rebel general, Francis
co Villa, at Jauraz, and the ques-
ton of protection for British in
terests and for Englishmen in
Mexico have been made the sub
ject of con sideration in the House
of Commons and the newspapers.
Sir Edward Gray, Secretary OF
State for Foreign Affairs, outlin-
ed the. attitude of the British
Government and the nature of the
communications the British Am
bassador had had with the United
States. He said that Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice had told Secretary
Bryan that the public opinion of
Europe was likely to be serious
ly affected by the action of Cen
eral Villa.
The Foreign Secretary assured
the House that the government
was taking all possible steps to
learn the facts of the Benton case
and to secure full protection for
its nationals in Mexico, but point
ed out that the government was
powerless to take any action in
the disturbed country.
The newspapers, while await
ing the result of the inquiry in
stituted by the United States,
are practically united in con-
demning the action of Villa,
which some regard as nothing
less than murder.

LARGE MAJORITY
East Moline and Hospital Town
to Be One City Is Decision
of Voters.
WILL BECOME 4TH WARD
Citizens Ticket Elected-Annexation
viii Add 1000 Population to
East Moline.

Voters of East Moline and Water
town decided by an overwhelming ma
jority at the polls yesterday TO merge
the two towns, thus making them a
single city known as East Moline. Wa
tertown will then become the fourth
ward, adding some 1000 population to
East Moline
The voters of East Moline decided
on annexation by a majority of 459,
while in WATERFOWL the vote was IA
to 129 in favor.
The addition OF WATERFOWL TO East
Moline paves the way for n greater
city and adds much to the present re-
sources of this rapidly growing and de-
velcping district. And this is looked
upon by many as the first real step to-
ward the ultimate merging of the cities
of East Moline. Rock Island and Mo-
line into one. thus making it the sec
ond largest city in the state of Illinois.
Gets Two Aldermen.
WATERFOWL will be entitled to two
aldermen in the city council. The to-
tai population of East Moline with the
addition of WATERFOWL is now estimat-
ed at between 5000 and 10000.
City Attorney F. II. Raifsback is go
ing thoroughly into the laws governing
the annexation of cities. towns or ter
-itory in this manner. and will outline
he plan of procedure to carry out the
wishes of the voters. 1t is probable
