"atal Accident-Inquest. Last Tuesday morning p,bout 9 o'clock Eas- ^ :er Richardson, colored, was killed by the southbound passenger train. No. 41, on the Seaboard Air Line about ten miles from the < :lty. The train was the one due here at 1:45 a. t n., but was several hours late. Easter and another woman were walking j he railroad track Thursday morning, and , vere nearly across the trestle over Little j rtlver, when the train came up. The Rlchtrdson woman seemed to become paralyzed j >D realizing her danger, and stood ou the tres- B le outside the track until the engine passed t ler. The trainmen doubted if the train hit , :er, and tbe circumstances support tbe e heory that she jumped to her death. The ither'woman got safely out of the way. MagistrateCox was notified of the killing, .nd he went out on a hand car late In the afernoon to hold the inquest. A Jury was emtanneled with Mr. D. \V. Thomas us foreman. )r. J. \V. Wilson made an examination of he body. The neck was broken but no marks ir scratches or abrasions and no broken bones rere found. The Jury returned this verdict: We find that the deceased, Easier Rlcbardon, came to her death by falling off the G., I. & X. trestle across Little River to avoid beng knocked off by an approaching train." ;ig Estate Settled. On Friday last a final settlement was made y Probate Judge Hill of the estate of the late ;apt. J. P. Mickler, who had property in Abevllle, Greenwood, Oconee and Edgefield ountles. Mrs. A. C.

Jaynes, Esq., of Walhal'a, was in the ity last week, being engaged in the settlelentof the Mickler estate. Mr. Jaynes Is edtor of the Keowee Courier as well as a recogilzed leader of the up-country Bar. He is a ouug lawyer, but one of the most enterprisog and successful men in his section. He requently has business In Abbeville. leld Day at Mt. Carmel. Last Friday a Farmers' Institute was held t Mt. Carmel In connection with a picnic and arbecue.

Abbeville people were much in evidence at a he recent Young People's Convention of the Lssociate Reformed Presbyterian church at ( 'rosperity. Rev. O. Y. Bonner, Rev. T. W. t loan and others from this section were the fading spirits of tbe Convention. a Concerning the delegate from tbe local hurch the A. R. Presbyterian reporter has o his to say: c "Miss Laura Nance read an essay on: h worn Ainoug uur .rnsoners. " miss xsance ?as able to speak out or a personal experience 1 n attentions given the prisoners at Abbeille. Tbls was a somewhat new subject to be ( IscuBsed In an A. R. P. Convention. Miss t Jance gave some touching personal experl- c nces with some of the Individual prisoners, o ;he made a strong appeal that our general asembly mlgtu be ltd to adopt measures where- t >y our Jails would have divine service at j 3ast on the Sabbath day, if not ofteoer. This c aper I think will set our young people to g hlnklng along a line they have not hereto- c are traveled, it would be well If every read- a r o( the Presbyterian could see this paper. I f 5el sure it Is a subject not enough thought t, bout." Of two other delegates this report Is made : c The recitation, "In the Secret of His Pres- j nee," was given by Miss Janle Muse. Miss luseheld the close and interested attention v f the house throughout this exercise. "Rev. O. Y. Bonner was asked to lead in * rayer on me suojeci on me programme: 'rayer for the administration of Justice, sup- f resslon of crime and prevalence of good gov- g rnment." ie&th at Greenwood.

They s Brae late, hurrying and happy in the hope ot uttlng tbe Abbeville amateurs to sleep. The j< !. & w. C. train from Augusta Thursday s aornlng was ditched near McCormlck, and a iope ot a ball same was abandoned. t But Mr. A. W. Anderson, the Superintend- v nt of tbe road, was. equal to the occasion, t nd be sent the Spartanburg boys on a special c o Calhoun Falls. Tbey arrived here in a tack at 5 o'clock, and went on the diamond 'j rnmedlately. l Several hundred people witnessed tbe game c 'bursday. Mr. J. L.

White brothers pitched and caught r ar the home team. Seven innings were l ilayed. Friday afternoon Mr. S. H. Myers umpired. \ 'be crowd was larger than before. Jesse C. Jevllle, of Piedmont, pitched for Abbeville t nd A. Kae Dendy caught. They did good s ?ork. i This was probably the best game ever play- c d in Abbeville. It was close and lively hroughout, and resulted in a tcore of 7 to 6, r avorof visitors.

' Abbeville has every reason to be proud of his year'^base ball exploits. Games against < yrofesMonB'.s failed to lessen the reputation i if our boys as the best amateur team extant. < There was plenty of guying and some lm- 1 nense rooting, but all was pleasant and In 1 ;ood order.

A Press and Banner man went over the illls to the Abbeville County poorbouse lust Saturday,expecting to be Impressed with a sense of desolation and destitution, .but If Lbere Ik anything desolate about the poor aouse It is not apparent. The Inmates, aside from the very natural discontent at being In enforced dependence and helplessness, have no reason for being forlorn. Supervisor Lyon and Superintendent R. H. Kennedy have for two years worked unremittingly to improve the larm and buildings, md they have succeeded admirably. All the buildings are reasonably attractive and certainly substantial. There is a general air of thrift about the whole place. The farm is rapidly being stocked with Improved breeds of cattle una hogs. On the farm there Is now a good crop of corn, about 70 acres. Most of it Is slightly fertilized. Considering that the land is of the thin, white variety, the corn crop is entirely creditable to the management. Mr. Kennedy calculates on making 1000 bushels ol corn Ihls year on the 70 acres. It Is good to see. Thee poorhouse will only require about 400 bushels of this. The remainder will go the road machine mules. The remainder of the 100 acres of cultivated land Is in peas, watermelons and garden crops A. great crop of peavine hay will be harvested this year?enough to run the farm a year and to help greatly with the road mules. The entire place is well-trimmed and in good shape generally. The (arming is lntellirently done. Peas and terracing are strong points with the poorhouse management.?^ There are 30 people at the poorhouse. Nearly everything ueeded for food is grown on the place. The grocery bill this month will be about $ '?). Hot Campaign In Prospect. 1 he people of Abbeville may expect a lively time for the next month.

President Smytbe stated that It had lecided that the most ieaslble plan woul o form a distinct corporation to build ixtension. The cotton mills require connection he Seaboard. Three routes had been foyed?to Abbeville via Due West, to A rllle via Antrevllle or to Watts or Cali "alls. The Antrevllle and Calhoun ] oute Is preferable for two reasons?belnj ibeaper and affording connection with Savannah Valley road. But to go t vould require Northern capital, A b lorporatlon Is preferred. President Smytbe said, however, that t pere several logical reasons tapping the >oard at Abbeville. The principal ind nent is that Due West and Abbeville ind it very much to their Interest tc subsc leavtly to the capital stock and to whoo be enterprise. Abbeville can't afford t he road go anywhere else. The plan reported by Capt, Sraythe Is a is follows: Capitalize the road at JI50,00<] ?ond it at S'200,000?C per cent, bonds; the tal stock to be taken by the Seaboard, otton mills and the places along the II Jelton, Honea Path, Due West, and Abbe^ Dr. J.
