Attention. 0dd.FlOWers.

Columbia Lodge, No. 23O, 1. D D.
F., has a membership Of between thir-
ty-fiVe and forty brothers, but the at
tendance has been so slim for several
months, those who do attend have be-
come discouraged. If the organiza-
ton is to run in this town the mem
bers will have TO put new life Into the
institution by being present at each
meeting. The paraphanalia of the
lodge is worth about four hundred
dollars, and this would have to be sur
rendered to the Grand Lodge should
the order give up its character. There
is no necessity for such an action If
the members will do their duty.
Therefore, it is urged that every Odd
Fellow, in good standing, be in the
lodge room next Thursday evening by
8 o'clock. 1t is either new life or
death. Throughout the world the
organization is doing a great good.
The same could be done locally if the
members will come to life.

DISTRESSING Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon Mr.. j. V.
White and his wife met with serious
accidents while enroute to their farm
They we're in buggy driving and ole
and heretofore a very gentle family
horse. Their destination was one mile
out, on the BurkesvilIe pike. Wher
they reached the colored settlement
near where the old toll-gate stood, the
backing strap broke and the buggy
pushed against the horse, soaring him
and he at once commenced kicking
Mrs. White fell from the vehicle
spraining an ankle and one of bel
wrists and was otherwise bruised
about the shoulder. Mr.. White re-
NAMED in the buggy, the horse vi.
olently kicking.
Geo. Epperson, a colored man, see.
ing the predicament the old people
were in, ran and caught the horse,
holding him, while several colored
men assisted Mr.. White from the bug.
gy. Upon examination it was discov
cred that the horse had struck him
several times. One of his knee caps
was feartully broken and the other
leg badly cut, cash inches long, and
he was also kicked in the breast. See.
ing that he was badly hurt, the alarm
was given and the two old people con.
Veyed to their home, on BurkesViIle
street, and Drs. Russell and Taylor
called, who gave them proper atten-
tion, but it will be several weeks be-
fore they recover from the shock and
wounds received.
1t is said that Mr.. White would
have been killed had it not been for
the aid of the colored man, Geo. Ep.
person, who held the horse with great
difficulty. Mrs. Whites bruises about
the shoulder were caused by the bug
gy running over her after she fell.
Monday morning both Mr.. and Mrs
White were resting easy and at this
time the indications point to their re-
covery, but it will require several
weeks to bring restoration. Friends
called at the White home constantly
late Saturday afternoon and until bed
time, offering their assistance.

DepOSitOrr OF the Bank Of Co.
lumbia.

Under the present Tax Law, if you
have your money in your pockets or
out of bank on the first day of Septem-
Der, you will be taxed on it just like
other property; but if you have it in
bank on deposit the tax will be only
10 cents on the one hundred dollars.
The Bank of Columbia expects to
and will pay this tax for all of its GUS
toners on money deposited by them
with it and will not charge the Gus
toners for doing so. That is to say
if your money is on deposit in the
Bank of Columbia, the said bank will
pay the taxes on same and no charge
will be made against the depoSitor on
said money. So it seems to US wise in
our customers to get their money in
bank in time to save themselves take:
on same.

afternoon between five and six O'Clock.
He came upon the square and was in.
speeding the wires, to see that every
thing was in readiness for the night
service. In front of T. E. Wagon
er's store his attention was called to a
dangling wire and he replied "that
could not hurt anybody" and at once
reached out and laid hold of it. In.
stantly the bolt shot through him and
he fell to the ground. The scene Gre
ated great excitement and doctor
was called. After working with him
for more than an hour he was able to
be conveyed home, In an automobile.
Thursday morning he was better, and
later went to work. When he fell he
was still holding the wire, and had it
not been for the presence of mind of
Mr.. T. E. Jeffries, who knocked the
were from his hand, with a rain coat,
he would have evidently been killed.
