Messrs. IL. g. Edison and w. P.

and his friends trust that he was the
successful one.

Graham was injured here while at.
tempting to leave a train that had
no orders to make a stop here, it
not being local. The train never
stops unless there is passenger on
that has come from points above
Columbia. Mr.. Graham, who is
manager of the telephone company
in this district, was returning from
Batesburg, and decided to risk get

and left him clinging to the step
railing from which he fell. The
train had started az full speed again

of the bride. Only the immediate
family was present to witness the
