Yard Conductor Alderman Fell Under tile Train and Was Killed. A. S. Alderman, a very popular young Coast Line yard conductor, was killed at the transfer yard this morning by the train running over him while shifting. No one saw the accident the switchman was some little distance away, looking after the switch, the brakeman was about two cars off putting on the brake of a car that was to be cut off and these were the only men near at the time. The tragedy occurred about 4 o'clock in the morning. It is supposed that Con? ductor Alderman went between the cars tb open the knuckle of coupler and that his foot caught in the guard rail and he was thrown beneath the ' cars. His outcry was heard by the two J men near and the engineer. Mr. Row? ell was signaled to stop, so that only one car had passed over the body, but it was frightfully lacerated.. - As soon as possible the authorities of the road had the body taken up and carried to Waters* undertaking estab? lishment where it was prepared for burial and where an inquest was held this morning by the coroner. . Mr.' Alderman has been a resident of Florence ajbout five or six years, he was a naive of Rose Hill, N. C., and was about 30 years of age. He had been in the service of the Coast Line for a number of years and was a faith? ful and earnest employee. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Rail? way Trainmen and of the Order of Railway Conductors. He was mar? ried about three years ago to Miss Maggie Bradham of Sumter and they have one child, little Albert. The tragedy is a very sad one, and his wife, who was preparing the morn? ing meal for him at home when the shock of the news was received, has the sympathy of ^ the whole commun nity.-Florence Times, April S. - .Sick headache results from a de? rangement of the stomach and is cur? ed by Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

Valuable Work Found by Prof. Rea of the Charleston Museum, While Ex? amining Rubbish. Charleston, March 30.-While ex-, amining rubbish in the basement of the library building, preparatory to destroying lt, Prof P. M. Rea, direc? tor of the museum, discovered volume 21 of the Elliot herbarium, which is thought to be the last volume of this famous plant collection. The finding of the volume, whose authenticity is beyond question, is re? garded as one of the most fortunate discoveries in the world of science in recent years, completing, as it does, the Elliot hebarium. Botanists all over the world will rejoice in the announce? ment of the finding of this missing volume, which narrowly escaped de? struction by fire. The College of Charleston owns 20 volumes, which have often been consulted by expert botanists and scholars from many seats of learning and institutions and the missing number will add to the in? terest of the collection. The Biltmore botanists have recently been lending Prof. Rea assistance in his work of pre? serving these valuable contributions to science and a report was to be printed by the Biltmore botanists on the her? barium, which will now be delayed by the finding of the missing volume, which will also be reviewed in the ar? ticle to be published. Several cultured citizens of Charles? ton expressed themselves in the heart? iest way today upon learning of the unearthing of the missing volume, and Prof. Rea was warmly congratulated upon his find.

A Correction. To the Editor: x The undersigned noticed a few days ago, in an article copied from The News and Courier relating to the late Mrs. Mary Scrimgeour Whittaker, In which it stated that she had survived nine (9) brothers and sisters of which she was the oldest; this, however, is a mistake, as we are blessed to have still with us the last of that illustrious generation of the Furman family Miss Eliza Furman-who, .in her 78th year, is not much blessed with this world's goods, but has that which is above riches, a heart full of love and a spirit of kindness to all. She has the honor of being a sister to the late Dr. Furman, of which she is justly proud. However, a loving nephew cannot bear to see it in print that she is dead without making haste to correct same. We hate to think of thc time when it will be possible for such a statement to pass uncorrected. Her main labor of love consisted of assisting in raising three generations of nephews and nieces, all who love and revere her. A desire to honor where it will reach the ears of this loved one prompts this article from A Nephew. Sumte-. April 4. 100G. Cottcn Association. A. B. Stuckey, of Sumter.

Marlboro County Decline to Receive Whiskey Money. - Bennettsville, April 4.-One. of the school districts in this county has ab? solutely refused to receive and through the trustees, and by a vote of the patrons, rejected the public funds due them accruing from the dispensary for sale of liquor. The question has been discussed in that section for a long time, which ultimately terminated as above stated. It is Willis school district which has decided not to accept any more of the dispensary money for the schools in that district. The trustees took a vote on the proposition last Friday and decided by a majority of two not to accept any more of the dispensary school money. Any deficiency will be made up voluntarily by the eight trus? tees who voted in favor of the idea. The Game Act. We reproduce the following extract from the Columbia Record as throw? ing more light on the misunderstand? ing that seems to exist in regard to the new game law. It will be clearly seen from the act that the season be? gan the first of March: A party of about fifty Columbia sportsmen have organized to make a trip to Fort Motte this week to shoot birds, apparently unmindful of the fact that the last legislature amended the game law so as to provide for a closed season from the 1st of March instead of from the 1st of April, as heretofore. A similar misunder? standing seems to prevail throughout the State. A State officer's secretary received an invitation today from a Yorkville party to go out for a hunt next week, "before the season closes," but he wired his regrets, saying the season had already closed. Now Lexington is exempted so as to have its closed season begin the 1st of April. Columbians may therefore, cross the Congaree and hunt to their heart's content until the 1st of next month. The new law provides: "It shall not be lawful for any per? son in this State between the 1st day of March and the 15th day of Novem? ber, except in the counties of Beau? fort, Hampton, Dorchester, Co?leton, Charleston, Barnwell, Berkeley, Aiken, Oconee. Lexigton, Fairfield, Saluda, .Georgetown and Clarendon, wherein the time shall be between the 1st day of April and the first day of Novem? ber in any year hereafter, to catch, kill, or injure, or to pursue w:th such intent, any wild turkey, partridge, quail, woodcock, Mongolian or other pheasant, or at any time within five years from March the first, 1906, to sell, offer, or expose for sale, ship or export for sale, or to pot hunt, net, trap, or by firelight to catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with such intent, any of the birds named in this section; nor shall any person or persons de? stroy or rob the nests of any said birds. And any person so doing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than twenty dollars or be imprisoned not more than thirty days. Provided, that nothing in this act shall prevent the importation for sale of any said birds. Provided, further. That the handling, posses? sion, control or ownership of any of the said birds, sold, offered or exposed for sale, or shipped or exported, shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this act, and the burden of proof shall be upon any person so handling, posessing, controlling or owning of the said birds, to show that they were imported from another state or terri? tory." ?Living indoors so much during the winter months creates a sort of stuffy, want-of-ozone condition in the blood and system generally.
