CRUSHED UNDER TRAIN.
Man Meets Instant and Horrible
Death at Glover.

Yorkville, Oct. 17.-Both Jackson
was drawn under the wheels OF a
passenger train at Glover yesterday
morning while, it seems, he was at
tempting to swing on when the train
was in motion, and killed. There
was a circus billed to exhibit at Cas-
tonia yesterday and the management
of the Carolina and Northwestern
railway advertised that it would
operate an excursion train between
Chester and Gastonia. After reach
ing Yorkville, owing to the fact that
the five or six coaches making up the
train were filled to overflowing, it
was decided that it would not take
ON any more between here and Gas
tonia, and as result it did not stop
or slacken it's speed at either Filbert
or Glover, where there were possibly
would-be passengers waiting.
AS the train passed the station at
Glover, Jackson, when he realized
that it would not stop, it is said, un-
dertook to Swing" the last coach,
but missed his footing, was drawn
under the rear wheels and his body
was cut almost in two. The train
crew knew nothing of the accident
and the train did not stop. The man
was instantly killed. The accident
occurred at about II o'clock, and the
body lay where the train left it until
about l o'clock, when it was removed
by Instructions of the sheriff. No
inquest was held.

LEVER LAW UNCONSTITUTION
Federal Judge Declares Cotton Fu-
lures Act Started Out Wrong.

New York, Oct. 13.-Federal
Judge Hough today handed down a
decision declaring unconstitutional
the law known as the Cotton Futures
Act. He rendered judgment in favor
of Daniel T. Hubbard and others in
suit to recover damages for assess
ment made and collected by the col
lector of internal revenue.
Judge Hough in lengthy opinion
said the Cotton Futures Act was
technically unconstitutional because
the law originated in the senate in
stead of in the house of representa-
tives. 'This is one of the legislative
projects which to be law must
originate in the house Of representa-
rives," said Judge Hough.
''The constitution of the United
States provides that all revenue bills
shall originate in the lower house.
This bill, l find, was introduced in
the senate, and as it is bill for rails
ing revenue, it is, therefore, uncon-
stitutional.
''It is most unsatisfactory to have
to ground decision upon so technic-
al point, but such as it is, this de-
cision disposes to the case" =

chant, said: Il saw with my own
eyes several persons rush at man

back, about half-sitting, at the mid

at his head. I caught his arm and
said, Don't do that! Don't do
that!'"' Mr.. Robson is a member
of the committee. He was present
at the meeting from the start and
did not leave the room until all was

RIOT AT CHARLESTON ELECTION
CANVASS.
Police Involved.-Sidney J. Cohen
Newspaper Reporter, Victim of
Stray Shot.-Arrests Made.

Charleston, Oct. 16.-Sidney j..
Cohen, a reporter for the Evening
Post, was killed, and William E..
Wingate, captain of the city chain
gang; Harry L. Wilenski, city meter
inspector; w. A. Turner and Jere-
miah O'Brien, a member of the COM
mittee, were wounded during a fu-
sillade of pistol shots in the commit
tee room at the southwest corner of
King and George streets just as the
city Democratic executive committee
was about to be called to order yes
terday at noon for the purpose of
canvassing the returns and declaring
the nominee of the municipal elec-
tion held Tuesday.
The committee room was crowded.
City Chairman Joseph A. Black call
ed on the police to clear the room of
all except the members of the execu-
tive committee. 1t was just about
this time that the trouble broke. AS
to just how it started all sorts of ru-
mors have been circulated. The
confusion appears to have begun
when the room was being cleared of
outsiders. One or more alterations
were begun, it is stated, and sudden
ly a pistol shot rang out, followed
closely by others, twelve shots being
accounted for. A crowd in an ante
room tried to gain admttance, while
persons in the room sought safety.
Several men went out Of windows.
Mr.. Cohen was about to pass through
window when he was mortally
wounded in the side. Wild confu-
sion reigned for some minutes.
With the disorder at it's height
and the crowd in the street steadily
increasing, some person turned in
the fire alarm and engines respond
ed to the box at King and George
streets.
Receiving a hurry call, Sheriff J.
Elmore Martin and body of depu-
ties hurried inAutomobiles from the
county court house to the scene of
the disorders.
The militia and deputies were be-
ing held in readiness under orders
from Governor Manning because of
representations to him that various
threats of violence against the COM
mittee, and especially against Chair
man Black, had been reported.
The Washington Light Infantry,
under Capt. Harry o. Wilmington,
with fixed bayonets, marched from
it's armory up King street, the crowd
getting out of it's way.
About twenty minutes after the
first shot Mayor Grace reached the
scene.
Meanwhile, two ballot boxes and
two club roll books are known to
have been thrown out of windows
into the street, these later being re-
ported by the police as recovered.
