The case of Maiion Parr, charged with the murder cf Clarence Shealy near Columbia a few weeks ago, has been continued until the next term of the court for Richland county. When the esse was called Thursday, Messrs. Clarkson and Yerner, who had been appomted by the court to dsfend the man, appeared before Judge Pardy and asked that the case go over until the next term of the court. They stated they they had only been two days on the case and after a careful * -? iL - J-t ,7~ _ examination CI me ueieuuaub IUCJ were satisfied that justice would be done if the case was continued. They had, so it was stated, found that important witness could not be obtained. Upon the showing made and the statement by the Solicitor Judge Purdy let the case go over and accordingly Parr was taken back to jail. It is not known, adds the Columbia Evening Record, yet whether an application will be made for bail or not as the attorneys will not discuss this side of the matter. At present it is thought that no motion of this kind will be made, as it would be necessary to file strong affidavits setting forth the entire line of defense. Then, too, it is not known who would go the bail should it be granted as Marion Parr is unkown to the majority of people and he has stated that neither he no his people have the money for an attorney wDen the attorneys were appointed by the court.

Washington, Sept. 7.?The ants which were brought from Guatemala by tbe agricultural department to devour tbe cotton boll weevil will be tried on potato bugs, grasshoppers and other insects which destroy $100,000,000 worth of crops every year. The loss to farmers from bugs of different kinds has been growing yearly with increased killing of insect-eating birds. Much of this, experts think, can be prevented if the ants can stand the Northern climate. The qaeetion will be tested this fall and winter. While the ants are being brought to this country they were fed on mixed diet of bugs and they liked them all. One colony of ants has just been established on a farm near Lanham, Md. Others will be sent further North. The experts are encouraged over the reports from the Texas cotton fields. Silly Felix's Penciling^. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The days are growing much shorter. Refreshing showers have recently watered the thirsty earth. The defeated candidates who were in the minority on voting day were greatly in the majority on tabulating day. Cotton is opening rapidly and already the hum of the gin can be heard. The second race boys have a move on since the vote was declared. Some improvement! have been made on Boynton Academy at the famous Cross RjaJs. From this old school have gone out young men who are occupyiog important and reeposible positions in life. Misses Edna M and Sallie G. Fallaw recently made a tiip to Cameron and St. Matthews, OraDgeburg couaty. They express themselves as being delighted with their trip. Mr. Z A. W. Sturkie, one of Gas ton's merchants, realizing the farm is the better place, has closed his estab lishment here and gone back on bis farm. Our KFD service here continues to grow in favor and popularity and the volume of mail bandied increases while the praises of Congressman Lever are lauded to the skies. Human nature is so frail, so weak, so deceptive, and especially towards the vote seeker in these primaries. The health of the Felix family is again normal and consequently cheerfulness and happiuesa is enthroned around the hearthstone. Get your registration cerficate, pin it to your tax receipt, for in the general election Mr. Lever may be beaten by a negro. The Athens schccl district voted on an extra two mill tax.

Fowler, of Hightower, Ala, relates an experience be bad wbile serving on a petit jury in a murder case at Edwardsville, county seat of Clebourne county, Alabama. He say*: uWhiIe there I ate some fresh meat and some souse meat and it gave me cholera morbus in a very severe form. I was never more sick in my life and sent to the drug store for a certain cholera mixture, but the druggist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying that h6 had what I sent for, but that this medicine was so much better he would rather send it to me in the fix I was ia. I took one dose of it and was better in five minutes. The second dose cured me entirely. Two fellow jurors were afflicted in the same manner and one small bottle cured the three of us."

C , Sept. 9 ?The most disastrous wreck in the history of railroads in this State occurred at 1 o'clock this morning at Cataba, about twelve miles from Rock Hill. Through passenger train No. 41, southbound, running at the rate of forty miles an hour, soon after getting on a 300-foot trestle leading to the river the structure gave way and the train plunged to .the bottom. Not a single passenger or member of the train crew escaped injury more or lets seriously and seven people were killed. An engine and cab followed the passenger train, and had it not been for the injuries received by the crew the track would have been "protect ed" and the engine following would have been stopped. As it was, however, that also plunged in upon the wreck, falling upon the rear coach. The dead are: Edward Barksdele, of Abbeville, engineer of the freight locomotive; Ed. Koberts, colored, fireman of the passenger engine; Mrs. T. F. Black, formerly of Abbeville, but now of Kentucky; a woman unidentified, about thirty years old; I another woman whose name is unkaow, died on the relief train which was sent from Monroe. The ecgi neer of the passenger train escaped with comparatively few injuries which are not at all serious. Not a soul on the train escaped injury of some kind, and it is reported that some of them are most seriously hurt. That all were eot killed ia a nrrscle/ The passenger train consisted of ! five cars and a Pullman. another Retort. The Wreck en the Seaboard Air L'ne is inaccessible from here, but it is known that seven were killed, two white women, two white men and three colored men. E-ghteen were wounded, some seriously. The wounded were taken on a special train to Monroe, N. C The wreck occurred on the York side of the Cataba river, about a quarter of a mile from the river. The westbound passenger train went into a 200 foot trestle over a small stream in the river bottom. An engine and a caboose following a few minutes later plunged in upon the day coach crushing it into kindling wood. nii i ? a _? n All line aeaa ana idjurea were in that coach. One of the ladies is lying under <the engine, her body from her waste down beinf horribly buined. She is supposed to be a Mrs. Herbert, from Florida. The . dead body of the engineer was also ; under the engine. At the time of the wreck the train was running at fifty miles an hour. The wreck, like that at FishiDg Greek jiiat a year ago, is attributed to decayed timbers in the trestle, though there are rumors that the engine jumped the track and pushed the trestle down, while another rumor is that some obstacle was placed on the track which caused the wreck. The physicians in Kock Hill being summoned, went to the scene by private conveyance, arriving there about 3 o'clock. The wreck occurred about 1 o'clock in the morning. Xtoe news or tne wrecK as it spread through the city caused much anxiety because of a misunderstanding as to what division of the Seaboard the accident occurred. Many people had friends and relatives due to arrive on the Seaboard this morning and many anxious inquiries were made at the company's offices in belief that this morning^ train on this division was the one wrecked. The officials here were able to reassure all on that point, and great relief was felt by anxious ones. The foolish little bee improves each shining hour by gathering honey for some freckle-faced boy to smear on bis bread. UIB IMI1UJI llll MKMBP?WlWWJ?iiiihiwwi ii . ?' ?
