He holds the position of teller in the Rock Hill bank. A Horrible Accident. Monday morning a colored train hand, Tom Griffin, by name, ascending the iadder while the freight train was shifting, lost his foothold and fell to the ground between the moving tracks. A car heavily loaded with lumber pxssed over his body killing him instantly. Although his body was terribly mangled, his face was natural and easily recognized by those who had known him. Tom is an old "Winnsboro darkey, and used to be in the employ of Mr. W. B. Creight at the freight depot. He was nn? Af Ihfi train crew. Tom Griffla baa a record on th? railread worth recording. It is about as follows: Eight or ten years ago be was one of the train hands between Columbia and Augusta, and he saw a white child on the track in front of a rapidly approaching engine. Tom called for the engiue to be reversed, but he 6aw that this could not be done m time to save me cnna. tie jumpea off, cauzht the child, the attempt at reversal beios somewhat effective, and ?aved its life. Tom was slightly hart. The child was saved, and Tom was rewarded. A LITTLE DREAM, WITH A POINT.

It is likely that in a few years nearly every house in the country will be supplied with a telephone, and a spider-web made of wires will be spread across the country. Then with macadamized ro.ads, bicycles will follow in .the wake of the departure of the old dirt roads. Better still, electric carriages, and wagon3 will soon make their appearance. Then, indeed, ideal life will have come. This is not all a dream. It does not seem half as visionary a3 Morse's telegraphy did to his coteipporaries when he asserted that a sound coald be transmitted around the world in a millionth part of a second, and these sounds could be interpreted and translated into language. But the electric carriages and electric vehicles will soon be displaced by flying machines, and macadvu roads will then be considered as a crude attempt at progress. Bnt, after all, this generation has to stick to the crust, for a while anyway, aud we had better organize the Good Roads Association and improve this crust, so tLit posterity, in these flying ms/?.hinp<5 will rthsprrr* thftf tcp dirt fho 1 test with our opportunities.

I A 830 THANKSGIVING TURKEY. | We get this interesting- story from the sheriff of how a thanksgiving turkey was obtained without price, and in the end cost those who had expected to enjoy it about fifty dollars. "Captain" Hatten, of Poraaria, Newberry County, and three colored men, Orlando Williams and Beten ourg, ana "<joon" were iravemng m top buggies across the country. They dined at Hampton Sims, colored, nine miles from Winnsboro, and Williams, while the others were at dinner, remained on :he work bench or oat in the yard. Afier they had enjoyed the hospitality of the Sims mansion, they set cut for Winnsboro, put up their .horses at Crawford's and took tbe train for Columbia to spend the day. In the meantime, Sims' wife had missed one of her turkeys, aud Sims i H. .1 ITT?))? - 1 1 i.l suspectiDg toai w imams naa taken it, and was'then giving thanks for his good luck, came to Winnsboro m search of the turkey. He found where the horses had been put up, learned that a turkey bad been delivered by the ''Captain" or some of the party to a colored restaurant to be prepared for the party for their meal on their return on the afternoon train from Columbia. A warrant was obtained for Williams, and at the preliminary - .. i.i J ?_ /r/i A a p.>101 w:i- roiina on me "uapiaurand Deten>?nrg by the sheriff. They were ihen held for carrying concealed weapons. The result of the frolic is that the county is about fifty dollars better off, and the "Captain" and the other members of his party have returned home not so thankful for their good luck, after all. CHRISTMAS LADIES' HOME JOURNAL. TKa PVkwiff mftcj T TT/*\mo Jaiiv JL. H\j \JL1L ICtUiUO JJAUiVO UVUil, U vui Dal opens with a page of pictures of beautifal children, selected from thousands of portraits. The children's holiday greeting is a pleasing introduction to the excellent articles pertaining to the great festal season. One of these iuterestingly describes Christmas in the Palace at Potsdam, telling how the German Emperor and Empress and the Royal children celebrate the day. There are also two admirable short stories, "Christmas at 'The Hollyhocks,'" and "Christmas at the Trimbles'." A feature that will arouse^ widespread interest is the first letters of a series giving "The Inner Experience of a Cabinet Member's Wife." They present an inside view of Washington political and social life, as has never before been done in any magazine. The letters will occasion much surprise. A reading of the first instalment makes obvious the reason fcr withholding (he writer's name. Every reader of fiction will be de lighted to find the opening chapter of Hamlin Garland's new serial, "lhe Doctor." Mary E. Wilkins carries her readers into her favorite realm, New England, in one of her sketches, "The Christmas SiDg in Oar Villag.'," and Lillian Bell, in her second letter from London, sums up her studies of English men and women at short range in keen and brilliant epigram. Edward W. Bok points out how to make pleasanter the Christmas of the youth and the aged, and decries the use of slang by girls, and the habit of tal ing about one's ills. The ODly correct and authorized version of''The Lost Chord" ever published in this country appears, with an autograph note by its famous composer, Sir Arthur Sullivan. Practical articles on Christmas tell of suitable things to make for gifts, and detail games, amusement?, etc. Mrs. Rorer, in addition to her cooking lesson, has an instructive article on candy-making, and another on how to set the Christmas dinner-table, and cook and serve the dinner. The excellence of the illustration is striking, and In every feature the Christmas Journal is attractive and useful. By The Cartis Publishing Company, Philadelphia.

Mr. Editor: Recently in one of the issues oT your valuable paper, a subscriber makes inquiry about the location of Mobley's Meeting House, where a small but very important battle was fonght during the Rebellion of the colonies against the mother country. There are many descendants of persons who participated ia this fight j on both sides living in the county, and I sincerely hope some of them will give an account of it, before all data has been obliterated. It is ?in?u'ar that even the location of the spot is in doubt, and goes to show how important it is that these matters should be attended to whilst they are ^still fresh ia the memories of survivors. I dare *ay many of the younger ffenpratinns r.ro not nware that a battle occurred in this county during ihe Rebellion, and that great advantages to the cause of the Whigs were the results. I have always heard that the grandfather of our distinguished fel| low-citizen, Gen. Bratton, was in com[ znand of the Wh'gs, and I think it not improbable tint tae General might furnish Interesting history in connection therewith. It is certainly Li* dutv to contribute to the history of his county and State, and I sincerely hope he will give any reminiscences tbat may have been handed down to h'm in connection with this much clouded affair.

Remember the cotton convention to be held in Winnsboro on the first Monday in December for the purpose of organizing the cotton growers of this county. This meeting is called in pursuance to the resolution of the Cotton Growers Convention held during Fair week. Mr. J. G. Wolling was appointed to organize Fairfield and he hopes to have a large attendance. The plan is to organize by fownshins. Mr. Wollinsr was author ?~ ~ - w ized to appoint citizens in each township, bat he prefers the convention on the first Monday in December to do this work. No one can tell in advance what plan will be adopted to remedy the existing conditiofi. The Roddey scheme, as will be seen by the following extracts from New Yoik papers, has created considerable excitement on the Cotton Exchange in New York. If the bears are so much excited by the suggestion of Mr. Roddey, it seems that the Roddey plan has some merit in it. Here is what the New York World says: KM?mKoro ftf fllD Pdltrtll Tilvohincp VI iuv here and in other cities are somewhat excited over the proposition to form a giganti: trust of all the cotton raisers of the sonth which is being advocated by John T. Roddey, a prominent broker of this city. The exchanges are opposed to the scheme. It each a trust is formed the brokers gay their business is rained, so far as exercising any control of the market is concerned. Th". trnst would be able to practically 1" A- ? in f k/i Arvnn cuciaiy lue pnuc ui ULUCVJU iu v^vu market." The Mercantile and Financial Times, New York, eays this: "It has long been a notorious fact that the original producers of cotton in this country get a far smaller share than anybody else of the profits which it yields before it reaches the mill. Speculators, brokers, spinners and capitalists manage to secure a bulk of the rich returns which the magnificent cotton fields of the south render po&si1 iwAnUlft in f Krt ZlAftATl OIK. JL L1C UUUU1C 10 buab luv wnvn grower as a rale has not capital j enough to enable him to handle his product as be would like to. To a large extent he has gone in debt for it belore it was raised; and when it is picked he has no chance, in the majority of cases, but to sell it for whatever he can get. The cotton Drodncersof the south ought io be rich men by rights. That they are not is only too welt known. "Mr.. John T. Roddey, a native of South Carolina, now doing business in New York as a member of the cotton brokerage firm of John T. Roddey & Co.. has suggested a Dian whereby the cotton growers shall form a gigantic combination or company." As may be supposed, ,Mr. Rodney's suggestion has caused a tremendous sensation. The speculators in New York and els here are alarmed beyond mea?i' ; -^ud the southern planters are minted. There is no doubt but the thing can be done if those concerned will but "put their shoulders to the wheel." If fire-ccnt cotton will not stimulate the planters to make an effort to help themselves, we do not know what will. It is quite certain, also, that unless they do something, and that right speedily, they will get deeper in the mud than they are now in the mire.
