Auto Accident

Henry K. Meyers, farmer
living a short distance south of
Labolt, while driving his auto
on his way home Tuesday after
noon, having spent the day in this
city, had the misfortune to have
the machine turn turtle on him
about a mile south of town and
near the Bouck farm. He lay
underneath the car for some
time, and would undoubtedly
have perished from his injuries
and exposure in a short time,
had not Henry Schultz and a
party of other friends, all from
Corona, happened to be going by
in an auto and discovered him in
an unconscious condition. They
released him from his imprison-
ment under the auto ana
brought him to DR.. Ferguson 5
Office. An examination showed
that his collar bone was broken
and he was otherwise badly
bruised about the chest and
body. His wounds were cared
for and he was taken to his
home Wednesday.

TROLLEY SAFETY.
A Car That Cannot start While lto
Doors Are Open.

A Car That Cannot start While lts
Doors Are Open.
Now that almost every person beyond
infancy In America has learned that
one bell means to stop and two bells
to go ahead an ingenious device IL
coming into use which threatens to
throw the two bells knowledge into the
scrapheap.
In the latest type Of center door troll
ley cars. which are rapidly coming into
wide service, no signal to go ahead Is
needed. A passenger sitting in front
seat Is mystified as to how the motor
man knows when to start the car after
a street corner stop. 1t is all due to
coupling up the doors with the current
that moves the car.
When passenger wishes to leave
the car the conductor cannot open the
doors SO long as the motor Of the car
Is running. When the car stops and
the conductor opens the doors the mo-
torman turns the handle Of his con-
troller on one notch, but the fact that
the doors are open prevents any cur
rent from reaching the motor. AS soon
as the conductor closes the doors the
current becomes available for the mo-
tors and the car slowly starts.
The mOtorman can never start the
car while the doors are open; conse-
Quently It is always safe for him to
try to start at any time without wait
ing for a signal from the CONDUCTOR
Exchange.

He nearly beat an old squaw to
death with a neck yoke while

forming effect upon Lo, the poor
Indian as it does upon his white

fact that neck yoke is not the
proper argument to use in

Death Of Miss Clara Chambers

Miss Clara Chambers died at
the home Of her parents Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas Chambers in this city,
Thursday morning, Nov. II. in
the 30th year Of her age. The
yonng woman had been seized
with the dread disease, e,consump-

different times jonrneyed south
to warmer climate, but all
efforts to free herself from the
disease proved unavailing, and
she had been rapidly failing for
some time past, until death re-
lieved her.

War Costs.

Those who predict a ruined Europe
after the war must remember that this
depends partly upon whether or not the
present struggle settles the armament
question. Europe now spends over one
thousand million dollars per annum on
the war business. If part or all Of this
can be saved 1t will go far In the work
Of restoration. Furthermore. war Is
tremendous inspirer Of energy, as
France proved after 1870 and as we
proved after the civi! war. Science and
industry will go forward even faster
when freed Of some of the burden Of
the military fanatics. Our civilization
Is not to be yerturned.-COllier's.

Lure Of the Opera.

The music OF operas always has
been and always will be the lure
OF its millions Of patrons; the sing
ing, too, is frequently brilliant and
perfect, but the presentment Of scenes
from life upon the stage where every
thing, however commonplace and
banal, is sung, however beautifully.
will always sadden the soul By the
very impossibility and inappropriate
ness Of the spectacle. Fat tenors and
sopranos expire In lights Of high
notes, choruses express various quite
unnecessary sentiments with what 70
cal skill they may, and the average
person who likes music and ! llttle
logic, too. II thrown into ecstasies ol

Considerable attention has
been called to the excellent run
made by Royal Johnson in his
recent race for Congress, his
majority being larger than any
of the candidates on the state
ticket, his majority amounting
to 2546, but Judge Bouck in his
vote for district Judge was away
ahead of Johnson. Here are the
majorities received by him in the
several counties of the judicial
district, he receiving the highest
vote and largest majority of any
republican candidate. AS pre-

Odds are quoted as even In London

Of the year. That would permit hve

Other wars afford little precedent. for
never before has war been 20 exten-
sive or engaged In on 80 vast scale.
The Crimean war lasted nearly a
year and a half. But Of this time the
siege Of Sebastopol occupied eleven
months. and the result was not long In
doubt. The campaign Of France and
Piedmont against Italy lasted only
two months In 1850. The Prussian
war on Austria is known as 1.-THE seven
weeks war;" The Franco Prussian war
lasted about ten months. but 1t was
virtually decided at the beginning OF
the siege OF Paris, which came only
two months after the declaration OF
war. The Russo Turkish war lasted
nine months. the Boer war nearly
three years, although the most impor-
tant lighting was over In q year. and
the Japanese Russian war q year and
q half.
Commonly a decisive victory has
meant the rapid closing Of the war.

Spending IT.

While over at Columbia, S C, at
tending the Fair, one of the many
farmers we met enjoying the sights
was S C Majors, prosperous farm
er of Anderson county, S G. On Sat
urday morning following we were
in Anderson and met Mr. Majors
driving fine horse to bis buggy
going around selling milk, cream
and turnips. We told him we were
glad to see a farmer in town with
something to sell, that we liked to
see gentleman who was willing to
sell stuff in town as we'll as to come
there for the purpose of buying.
He replied, While was down in
Columbia this week found out that
if would break twenty-dollar bill
and spend a dollar here, half dollar
there, it would soon all be gone.
I'll have to reverse this plan. If l
make half dollar here and dime
there, I'll soon have enough to make
a twenty-dollar bill" No man
should be above doing any honest
work to make a dollar. We like to
see farmers selling their produce in
town, whether it be milk, eggs, po-
tatoes or turnips. 1t is just as hon
orable as it is for the merchant to
sell calico and cheese. The habit of
always carrying something to sell
will make any farmer comfortable
financially. ly.-S0uthsrn Cnltiuator.
