A FATAL ACCIDENT
On the Southern's Bridge Near Brookland.
The State, November 3rd.
Early yesterday morning the
Savannah train of the Southern railway
ran ever aD killed a white man
just at (be cast end of the Congaree :
river bridge. Tbe man had been
crossing the bridge along with a
number of other white men and
several negroes. All of them were
carpenters who live in New Brook
land, but have been working on the
houses in the village of the Olympia
mills. It seems that they have
been in the habit of walking over
upon this bridge every morning, j
While coming over yesterday mornthey
beard the train coming and all
of them except M^jor Thompson
stepped eff upon the platforms placed
at intervals upon the bridge
Thompson, however, thought that
he could reach the end of tbe bridge
before the train caught him, and at '
tempted to do so, but when he had <
just reached tbe end and before he j
could clear the track tbe train struck ^
bira. He was badly injured and was .
picked up, placed in tbe baggage car j
and the train went around the city
to tbe Columbia hospital, wbere ,
pverv attention possible was given
the suffering man. He was mortally j
wounded, however, and died in an ^
bout's time. (

Robbed the Grave. 1

A startling incident, of which Mr. t
John O.iver, of Philadelphia, was f
the eulj^ct, is narrated by him as c
follows; "I was in a most dreadful i
condition. My skin was almost yel- 1

weaker day by day. Three physi- c
3ians had given me up. Fortunately, (
i friend advised trying 'Electric Bit- f
tereand to my great j ay and sur- |
prise, the first bottle made a decided <
Improvement. I continued their use t
for three weeks, and am now a well t

and robbed the grave of another victim."
No one should fail to try

BARBARITY IN CHINA. l
I
Germans Have Slaughtered Chinese in ]
a Cruel Manner. i
Berlin, November 1?Considerable '
impatience at the eagerness of the c
news from Cuina is finding expres- r
tion here. The inference is that! ?
German censorship over such inform-!?
ation is very strict. {t
Letters from privates in China be- j
gin to find their way into social dt-m <
ocratic papers showing that the G=?r- I *
man troops give no quarter. The <
Firemen Buerger Zr-itung publit-hes j I
a letter frotn a soldier in P..kin, who i
)
said he witnessed the fullowing ;
tcene:
' Sixty-^ight captives, some of them ! !
not yet adults, were tied together by i'
\3
tober IStf
their pigtails, beaten bloody by the
Germane, compelled to dig their own
gr ?vefl and then shot en masse."
The Halberstandter Volks, Z >itung
prints a communication from Pekin
in which the writer says:
"No prisoners are taken. All are
shot or, preferably, sabred to save
ammunition. Sunday afternoon we
bad to bayonet 74 pri8oners. They
had killed one of cur patriotic men.
Ad entire batallicn pursued them
and captured 74 of them alive. It
was cruel. It was iodiscrible."

found that Dr. King's New Discovery
fjr Consumption had completely

for many years had made life a burdei.
All other remedies and doc
tors could give her no help, but she
says of the R >yal Care?"it eoon removed
the pain in my chest and I
can now sleep soundly, something I
can scarcely remember doiDg before.
I feel like sounding its prai-e?
