Killed in AutO-Train Collision.

Aiken, S. c., Aug. S.-Frank Jes-
ters was killed outright and Dave
Carroll, his companion, was badly in
1ured at Cushman's crossing, in
Aiken, this morning at z O'Clock,
when a Charleston-bound train hit
their automobile truck.
1t appears that the men were try
ing to get the truck, which had bro
Ken down, across the track, ,and made
no move to j"mp from the vehicle in
spite OF t',o on-coming train. The
engineer, Farmer Jones, it is de-
clared, did his best to avoid the
crash, but With the speed necessary
to climb the Aiken hill he could not
stop the train in time. The body Of
testers was fearfully mangled. Car
roll, 1t Is thought, will recover.

Supply Base, near this city, and
more familiarity known as the Port
Terminal, containing about $1,000
bales of cotton, 100 Wagons belong
ing to the ordnance department OF

large quantity of lumber, we're to-
tally destroyed by fire, which broke
out at 12.45 o'clock yesterday after
noon. There is as yet no official esti-
mate OF the loss, but unoff1cial figures
place the loss at about $250,000.
The fire was discovered by q
