TRAINS HIT IN FOG. ^ % Head-on Collision on Southern in Barnwell County?Four Injured. Columbia, Nov. 20.?Two tramps, one probably fatally and the other ser.'oush, were injured, and .two white passengers sustained hurts when Southern passenger trains Xos. 23 and 24 collided head-on in a fog j at Barton, in Barnwell county, some eighty miles south of Columbia, this morning at 3.29 o'clock. The engines of both trains and express cars were hurled from the track, which was $ torn up for a distance of some yards. T. A. Lloyd and David Simmons, said to be two tramps, were, it is said, riding between the engine and baggage car of No. 23, the southbound passenger, when the collision took place. Lloyd was probably fatally injured, while Simmons suffered a broken arm and other bruises. Two white passengers, L. C. Fanning, of Sally, had his ankle broken, and Mrs. I M. F. Myers, of Sandy Springs, was slightly injured by being thrown , against a seat. None of the train crew was hurt and only the engines and baggage cars left the track, the remainder of both trains sticking to the rails. Superintendent Hudson was a passenger on No 24, coming to Columbia, and he immediately took charge of the wreck, transferring passengers and clearing away the debris. k 1_: : _ 1. ....... rrV. * A WrI WKlUS UcUii UIUUfeUL yn > OiClCiHO I to the scene and the wounded were ' cared for at once. The track was cleared at noon and the Southern's southeastern Limited, No 31, got * through on time. No 23 runs from Columbia to Jackv sonville, and No. 24 from Jacksonville to Columbia, and were about on time when they collided this morning in Barnwell county. Both carried combination baggage and mail cars, colored and white day coaches and ^ Pullmans. The cause of the wreck isv unknown, but it is said that a thick fog enveloped both trains when they crashed. Not Positive About Race for Senate. Greenville, Nov. 19.?The following statement was given out by Representative Ai F. Lever here to day in regard to the race for the United States Senate. "As to what my intentions are regarding the Senatorial race, I am J * MAvr + L in pieptvieu tu sa,y kino. "I am now representing the Hh district in congress, and am chairman of the committee on agriculture of that body. To handle this powerful committee is a man's joo. for it is j the work of this committee in which the farmers are most vitally interested, and I do not propos e to Uis sipate my energies and "neglect my duties by beginning a campaign for a position that is not now open. No race for the Senate is now on and I shall cross" no bridges which have not been reached. I have found no imperative call upon me to enter a race that is not yet even begun. When it does open, if patriotism and my x conception of duty seem to demand that I 6hould enter this contest, I will meet the situation positively, and irrevocably. "I am prepared, however, to say that under the existing circumstances it is not likely that I shall aspire to the junior Senatorship next summer. Beyond expressing the probability of my intentions I do not care to go." While it is evident that Mr. Lever has about reached a definite conclusion, it is equally evident that should there be any material changes in the hp wnnlri fppl free to alter "what appears to be a conclusion in his own mind concerning his course in next year's campaign. Expensive Duck Shooting. One of the largest duck shooting clubs in California is supposed to contain 3,700 acres of land and water. Of this amount perhaps 1,000 acres are water, says the Outing. A. great > deal of the land is. very valuable as celery land, and were it not for the club members, it would undoubtedly 5all be drained for this purpose. I was told that the initiation fee in this club was $20,000, and that the annual dues were $1,000 per member. As there are 40 members, this gives them $40,000 a year forerunning expenses, and my informant told me there had never been a year that they did not have to make a reassessment. In the year 1912 the * expenses ran to $70,000; so, you see, . this gun club business is not exactly a poor man's game. This one property controls "five miles of ocean frontage. He Had a Millionaire's Privilege. i They had just became engaged. "Oh, Will," she said, moving a trifle closer to him, "I am so glad you are not rich! They say that some of those millionaires receive threatening letters saying that something dreadful will happen to them if they don't pay the writers sum of money." "Oh, is that all?" replied Will, "Why, I get plenty of such letters." WANT MOB MEMBERS TRIEE Spartanburg Grand Jury Ask Soli< ' tor to Prosecute. Spartanburg, Nov. 20.?Solicit Albert E.
