A Narrow Escape.

Darlington Republican Journal: Mrs
j. G. Monahan, of this city, met with
a painful and what might have been
a fatal accident at GAINESVILLE on Mon
day evening. A train for the Mineral
Point division is made up there to
which car from both Chicago and
Milwaukee is attached. Mrs Monahan
boarded the platform of the Car next to
the rear coach of the train and was
about to pass through the vestibule into
the rear coach. AS she did so the train
pulled ahead and the rear coach not
having been properly coupled remained
stationary. This caused Mrs Monahan
to lose her balance and she fell over
backward onto the track. She was in
stantly carried out of danger by the by
ISLANDERS, and while it later developed
that no bones were broken, her body is
terribly bruised, and she has been COM
fined to her bed since her return homo,
but at this writing, Thursday morning,
her general condition is improving.

privileges of stopping over at any or
all stations. A pullman car will be
attached to the train for persons who

The tour was scheduled to be made
on August 9Th, but the floods in the
mountains caused the Southern rail
way to make change in the date;
August 21st was the date tentatively
agreed upon. Later it developed,
however, that the annual Seashore
Mountain excursions will be run
during the week of the 21st, and for
this reason the date has been chang
ed and September 4th has been de-
cided upon.
"September 4th is the date the ex-
cursion will leave Anderson. This is
final" declared Sectary Fitsgerald
today. "The advertising matter for
the tour will arrive here probably to-
morrow" ~..'..

leave Newberry at 6 a. m. Monday
morning and will merge with the
Anderson train at Belton. This merg-
ed train will be operated all the way
through to Knoxville. Some of the
farmers have expressed desire to
stop over at Newport, Tenn. Those
who care to make the stop over will
occupy one car and this car will be
dropped at Newport, to be picked up
by a regular train next day.

DEATH OF J
MRS. L. C..
HASKELL

Mrs. Langdon Cheves Haskell died
at her home on Grenville street last
Thursday, August 18th, 1915, at mid
day. -.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Haskell went
out west where she visited friends
and relatives, here she was taken
sick and come home, since which time
many anxious inquiries have been
heard as to her welfare. She was
taken to Baltimore and treated there
for several weeks, but all that loving
thought and medical science was of
no avail for the time of her depar-
ture had come. She went to her re-
ward without fear and in peace.
Mrs. Haskell was the oldest child
Of Sarah Tilman and E. B. Calhoun
and was born at Monterey Nov. 9Th,
1861. She lived here until her mar
riage on Jany. ~, 1887, to Mr.. L. C.
Haskell. To this happy union were
born the following children, Ella.
Calhoun, Langdon, Sarah, Kate and
Allen. In 1898 Mr.. and Mrs. Has
kell moved from the Haskell place in
the Monterey section to Abbeville,
and have since made their home
among US.
Mrs. Haskell had long been mem
Der of the Presbyterian church, and
it was here that funeral services were
held Friday afternoon at five o'clock
conducted by Rev. H. w. Pratt, and
in the presence Of host of sorrow
ing friends and relatives. Messrs.
s. J. Link, ]. L. Perrin, J. s. Stark.
James Bowie, and T. G. White acted
as pail bearers and the casket was
followed by the family, her relations
and her neighbors. The interment
was at Long Cane cemetery.
Mrs. Haskell led a quiet life, be-
lieving that home keeping hearts are
happiest. She was supreme in the af-
fections of her husband and children
and she made for them a home bright
and beautiful in its happiness. Her
pride was in her children and she was
repaid in that all are taking up the
burdens of life in an honorable way
and are doing well their part in the
world.
Mrs. Haskell was lover of flowers
and the beauty of her home showed
the painstaking care that she had
expended on her place.
Many beautiful floral offerings
were sent to the home attesting the
high esteem in which Mrs. Haskell
was held and the sincere sympathy
felt for the bereaved family.
Mrs. Haskell is survived by her
husband and her six children, her
father, Mr.. E. B. Calhoun, and her
sisters, Miss Frances, Miss Lallie,
Miss Eunice, and Miss Ivy Calhoun,
and Messrs John, Arthur and Charlie
Calhoun, her brothers.

u
the least stretching the blanket" "
reports received in Washington from
different parts Of the United States
indicate the reelection Of Woodrow
Wilson and the continuation of: the
Democratic party in power for four
years more. :>e.. -..I. ~
These reports indicate that not on
ly will Wilson remain in the White
House, but that Republican leaders
are beginning to realize that there is
a very different man in Justice Char
les Evans Hughes of the United
States supreme court and the same
man asa candidate for the presiden-
cy. Their idol Is shattered. E
As opposed 10 this, Demoerstic
leaders are most optimistic aslto the
result this fall. @
It is evident from the way. they
talk that the whole country FilI 20
Democratic this fall and that Mr..
Hughes has failed utterly. II the Re-
publicans get . single State they will
be lucky. Some Of the Democratic
leaders will not concede solitary

It is apparent that the campaign
committee is going to make herculean
effots in the West, and there doubt
less will be persistent and insistent
demands upon Treasurer Marsh for
funds to help carry various States.
National Committeeman Dock
weller of California, new member
Of the committee, and Gavin Nc
Nabb, the California member of the
campaign committee, told their col
leagues that California is likely to 60
Democratic.
''It looks like it will be the 1912
fight over again in California" said
Mr.. Dockweiler. "The result in the
States for the national ticket will de-
pend largely upon the outcome Of
the senatorial fight" said Mr.. Dock
weller. "Frank Heney has with
drawn from the contest for the Dem
ocratic nomination, leaving George
8. Patton a free field. Mr.. Patton
is one of the strong men of the Pa
cific coast. The regular Republicans
want Willis Booth as their candidate
for senator, but Gov. Hiram Johnson
who Isl going to run for the Senate
also, wants the Republicans as well
as the Progressives to nominate him.
! do not think the Republicans will
listen to such plan; certainly Booth
will not get out of the race, and if
he gets the Republican nomination,
as he probably will, Johnson will have
to run independently as a Progress
sive. The Progressives retain their
organization, and with q three cor
nered fight it would appear that the
Democrats will have much the best
of it. I believe we shall surely elect
Patton, and that the election for
president will go along with the sena-
torship."
