LOCAL FREIGHT NO. 84. A Train On The C. N. & L Road Runs Over And Seriously Injuries A Negro And Knocks A Car Off The Trestle. Local Freight No. 84 on the Co Ilmibia, Newberry and Laurens road spent a fateful hour in New berry on Friday. The train arrived in Newberry going towards Colim bia about noon and before it left had run over a little negro, cutting off both his legs and knocking a hole inl his head, and had knocked one of its flat cars off the high tres tle just above the depot, the car taking a plunge o 50 feet to the ground below. 'le accident by which the little negro, Mike 1aigler, snstained his very serions injuries occurred hetweeii the Mollohon mill and the oil inI. It seems that a freight oin the Southern had stopped at this point and Haigler was run ing across the C. N. & L. track, which is parallel to the Southern, to steal a ride on the Southern freight, when No. 84 on the C. N. & I,% which had been to the Mollolion mill and was backing in, caught him. Both his legs were it off be low the knee and a hole was knock ed in his head above the eve. Drs. J. K. Gilder anid P.

The trestle was only slightly damti ag(-I, ieing splintered in a few places. In connection with tle accident to t le little neg-ro it m1ia1 be remark ed t hat it hats been the habit of. negroes to swing trains stopping at the junction near the oil mill.

Good Things Upon Good Things Heaped C Upon the Rev. J. L. Williamson By His Congregation. The old adage, "give them an inch and they will take an ell,'' was \ practically illustiated at the manse b last Friday evening. Tie childree's b society asked for the use of tht. A manse at that time to have "a pound party." Of course it was't cheerfully granted, as the children P of the congregation are always wel. Ir come at the manse, whether they come singly or together. C< But lo! not only the children, but w also older persons; even the fathers tI and mothers came. Elders, deacons, gi members, and baptized chi'dren di ca:ne togethei and took complete d possession of the manse. After 1 awhile they asked me to go into the H1 dining room, where instead of a te table spread with dainties for the p, children, as I expected to see, they showed me a table on which and w around which weie piled package er upon package, containing not one, fo but many pounds each. The ar- aV tieles were too numerous for me to ca mention here, and the quantity was a is great as the variety. as And the best of it all is that it C, xas premeditated, kindness afore- gc ,hought, for they even took the pre- th ition to bring the doctor along N vith them. But as it turned out, I ati ,vas only scared, and not seriously i, iurt by this heavy pounding- of hough I may be later on. to All these things were most thank- ra: ully received as expressions of ap- gr )reciation and attachment to their ne )a-tor, who has served them for pl ;even yeals, Ond I ought to have gr aid so at the time, but I felt too m iiuch like the little boy that the in :anf ran over to say anyvthilng then; le ience this card in which I wish to xpress my thanks ill written words May God's richest benediction s" rest upon them all, supplying all heir needs, and giving them pros- al perity ill both1 temporal and spirit- Ill lal things.

They do not belie their se characterization as "superb enter- o tainers."' But tihev deserved a bigger house than they had last ft night at the Monumental. For they give a good, clean, tip to-date show that lacks not in excellence and merit. They should have a larger crowd tonight. Rouclere, as tihe adept Manipula- e tor, introduced some originlal nov- IB elties that were much au)preciated w by tile audience last night. The g Colonial Trio, Sherwood, Fox andc Warda, in pantomine, furnished a glinmpse inIto other days. The cos tumes were very rich. Mildred gave a really wonderful exhibition of mind reading and hy pnotic sug- h gestion. Cain andl H unter's com edy musical act was heartily eni joyed. Belmont's electrical fire " dance was a feature and made a de- g cided hit. Tile effects were bean- - tiful, when the flags of the different ntationls were reflectedl upon the 2 dancer, while the orchestra playved the corresponding national airs The illustrated songs were lmag nificently sung and thle pictures d were extraordinlarily hland(somle. Th'le songs were al-tlaudled vigorously for they were nmew and pretty.u The feats of the Japanese troupe were p)erilous and dlarin g, t he Prince Yrouturkey rope slidle being intro- o diuced. The mysterious plrisonI was p a splendidl piece of work. It's a strong coimpanly, a splenid( cong>1any.

But still let us 11 attention to his faithfulness as pastor, and also his faithfulness editor of the Lutheran Visitor. ill to mind his great influence for od, and then remember the fact at his grave remains uiniarkLd. othing has been done to perpet i his memory or influence. No 2morial has been raised in honor the dead. There is yet kindnues be shown to the dead. WNe might ise a marble shaft to mark his ave which would also in a man r speak to those who visit the ice where he rests, but how much eater imonument would be this amorial scholarship. It is a! munillent placed in Newberry Col ,e, where all the friends of the lege may see and read for them ves. This leads us to make the appeal i io in behalf of Newberry college. building this -iemorial to Dr. awkins in Newberry College we ice it where it will serve a greater rpose. The college needjs imlore dowment, and this scholarship 11 support at least one student. ins the college will be benefited; is will benefit students, and at e same time Dr Hawkins will be membered. Seeing that this cause iF emi ntly worthy, let each pastor and urch council see that it is brought 'fore the people. Let each indi dual give this fund his sincere at ution, let each decide in his own ind what to give, and then do so ecerfully.
