LIZ. Oats displayed considerable stubbornness
and closed at advances Of ~ for June, IN

could hardly be improved upon but this was
cyerbalanced by excellent takings Of the cash

ters, and we were all given to a boy
on his birthday. He looked at US a
long while, then decided to put me
in his small bank. | was very happy.
But one day he came and put me in
his purse with nickel and a penny,
and started to church. But on his
way he traded me for an ice cream
cone, some fruit and candy. | was
then used to buy a cigar, and my
heart was heavy when dropped into
a cash register. But soon l was
needed for change, and found my.
self with nine other dimes. l held
my breath. l was chosen again, this
time by little girl lfor her small
bank. lay quite still for a long,

MIR ] 0 HARRELL
KILLED BY TRAIN
A TRAGIC ACCIDENT OCCURRED
NEAR LANES MONDAY---STUCK
BY PASSENGER TRAIN IS.

Mr. J Q Harrell, roadmaster for
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad be-
tween Charleston and Florence, was
instantly killed late Monday even
ing near Lanes by train rs, the To-
cal passenger train from Charleston
to Florence.
Mr. Harreli, with a negro helper,
was riding toward Kingstree on the
motor car, and owing to the thick
smoke from burning debris along
the track did not become aware of the
approach of the train until it was
almost upon him. The negro help
er who was on the truck with Mr.
Harrell, with his face toward the
train, told Mr. Harrell of its ap-
proach, but the roadmaster, think
ing he could reach Lanes ahead of
the train, paid no heed. He might
have saved his life, had he jumped
from the motor car as his negro
helper did, who escaped unhurt.
Mr. Harrell was about IS years old.
He entered the service of the A c l.
as section hand when quite young
man and worked himself up to road
master. He was born in the Cades
section and for years has been a
familiar parsonage at this place as
he passed up and down the road.
He formerly lived at Florence, but
recently moved his family to Lanes.
He was a member of Walnut Camp,
Woodmen of the World. He leaves
a widow and several children.
Mr. Harrell was very popular
with the men under him and with
other employees with whom he
came in contact, and was held in
high esteem by the officials of the
road.
