The State, llth inet. There wa? a eeriou* wreck in the Southern's yarde in this city early yesterday morning, and at a result a colored fireman and a colored brakeman were killed. The accident occurred just out illn fll* oihlf limilu ami OrtO -"v vivj yards of the Granby mill. A shifting engine pushing seven flats loaded with brick into the city and a local freight just leaving the city for Augusta collided on a fill jnst this side of the trestle which forms the approach to the Congar?e river bridge. ' The trains^cunie together with a crash vhich wart heard by a groat many people in tbnt sectioii ef the city. The yard ongino was comintr verv slowlv. but thn Axirn v / V l " freight, having a hurtl pull on a curve and an up grade, w<ie going at a pretty fast rate of spood. The car of brick in front of the yard engine's train was ontirely demolished. ' This was about the extent of the damnge^to that train, all of the crew getting out without injury. The fatalities occurred on the ? extra freight. It appears that Conductor .Pound and William Chapthan," *a negro brakouian, were riding on the engine. When Conductor Pound and Engiueer C 13. Reese saw the danger, ahead . , they gave the alarm aud saved their own lives by jumping,from the cab windows. They evidently did not know of the 'danger ahead until thev were hint ?m>n " * J -I it as there are curves at this point. Engineer Reese sprained an unkle. The fireman, Fiank Yeldell, and the negro brakeman, William Chapman, were standing between the tender and the ongino they apparently looked around the fides of the engine cab when the alarm was gtvew, and us they did bo the collision cuniu and the two unfortunate trainmen were caught in the fearful impact as the tender crushed upon the engine. There they wero found, apparently peering out into the darkness to find a danger which was upon them before they could escape. Chap*. man was badly crushed and died instantly. Yeldell's lower limbe and body were mangled, but he lived about half an hour, though unconscious. The damage to property was also considerable. Chapman was an Odd fellow and was insured for $1,200. Yeldell was insured for $2,000. THR SECItKT OF KONG IJPE, Consists in keoping all the rnair Srgans of the body in healthy, regular action, and ia qniekl) destroying deadly disease germs.

Tho repert rea;ls a; follows: To His Excellency, M. B. Mc. Swocney, Governor of Soutl Carolina: - % We havo tho honor to subtni here with a statement of tho business done by the State and coun ty dispensaries during tho fisca year ending Nor. 30, 1902. By reference to tho sevora statements hereto attached yoi will note that the total cost foi the year, of liquors, beer, wines etc., has amounted to $1,604, 870.77, and tho total sales (ex elusive of Ircsh beer) have heei ^2,400,213.50. The not earnings for account o the school fund for the fiscal year which have been placed to it credit, hare amounted to $123, 699.57. The not profits that have ac orued to, iind have bean equally divided between tho counties an* towns have been $443,198.70 We have paid from our assets in to the school furtd ono semi-an nil ill nnvmont lit ?Kfl ? ? |,u, ...vim ui VW. UO, hh will, within two weeks, pay $50, 000.00 more, looking lo a reduc tion of tlio school fund, as requir ed by act of the general assembly approved February 26, 1902. 1 audition to that, we have paid th quarterly earnings as thoy hav accrued in favor of the schoo fund for tho uino months sine I this act hccame effective, whit* have amounted to 91)2,755.91 making the total payments for th school fund for the }ear ntnoun 1 to $142,755.91. Add to this th 1 amounts paid the towus and coun ties wo tind that our grand lot* 1 of payments for the year for put lie purposes amounts to $585, 954,67. 1 You will note that the total nc earnings of the State and count 1 dispensaries for tho several fund above mentioned amount to $566, ' 898.33. The act approved Fet yuary 26, 1902, requires us to rc 1 duoe tho school fund to $400,00 1 by the 1st of January next, an 1 if "echool fund" is interpreted t mean "stock in hand, "we hav to renort that, this fpi.iiipomonf impossible of accomplishment : we are expected to meet the pul lie demand for the various kmc of liquors, beer und wines, ct< ' Since the Stato is attempting t enforce a monopoly of the sal of liquors, we have felt it our dt , ty te try as nearly as is con^is , lent with good business principlei i to supply every legitimate demur 5 for the popular brands of liquor and if we keep in stock a reasoi , able supply of each kind, it ne< ( essarily involves the investmei - of a largo nmountof money. Y( ' can readily see that if wo do ni ' maintain our stock, theso bram > required by consumers and m furnished by us will bo import* from abroad for personal use, < i by blind tigers. b Wc have now in county dispel ) snries alone a stock of $405,195 - 05, which is not excessive for th season of the year. We ha^ 4 I " real estate, fixtures, ?tc., at tbo State dispensaries in Qii.VMuhia, which cost $59,117.12, and if this nmouut ip deducted from the ? amount allowed hy the act referred to, our total stack of merchandise aad supplies would ba only $740,882.88, which would I bo $65,332.17 less than is now . in the local dispensaries, and noth) ing in tbo State dispensary from ! which to supply the county dis} pcnsurics. It is therefore our i opinion that the State cannot maintain the dispousary By item upon ? a working capital of only $400, 1 000. In conclusion we are glad to Iks t able to report that, judging from ? all information coming to us, the - dispensary system has largely in1 creased in popularity "as being tho best solution of the sale of intox1 icating liquors.

How Tho Guides Were Killed. 13ill Ramos Receive Orders from iVlnj. Glenn { Native Witnesses Testify. Manila, Jan. S.?At the continuation today of the trial by court martial of Mujoi Edwin F. Glenn of tho Fifth infantry, who is charged with unlawfully and wutuily killing seven prisoners of war in Sauinr last January, Louie Cauliiield, second lieuteuaat in the Philippine scouts, who was in command of the detachment which killed the native guides in question, testified that while Major Glenn directed that tho guidos be executed if they failed to lead the column to the enemy, he, Liout. Caulitield, did not repeat Major Glenn's orders to tho detachment. Ho suid he gave no orders for the killing of tho guides himself and their killing did not result from the orders issued by Major Glenn. A native sergeant who accompanied a detachment under Ramon testified that the tirst four guides had been executed by orders of Uiimos because they failed to guide the column to the enemy. This witness said the guides had been given a chance to lead tho column, when they refused to do so they vreic made to kneel and advised to repent of their sins. Tho sergeant then said that a native soldier was stationed behind each knoeling man at the word of com mand the soldiers tired, clubbing '.lie guid s with their rifle butts aivf then bayonettod thorn. Tho witness declared that Lieut. Caulifield was not present at this execution. i The prosecution is endeavoring I to connect Major Glenn with the killing of the guides by trying to i show that liauios was present when i Major Glenn gavo his orders to Lieutenant, Cauli field. Tho dojfenso denied that Ramos was presjent on this occasion.
