Marion Parr Case Continued.
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.

The Guatemalan Ant
To Be Tried on Potato Bug as Well
as Weevil.
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.

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. Material
is on the ground for the enlargement
of the building and the services of
two teachers have been secured.
' Mrs. G. A Goodwin, who has been
spending sometime with relatives in
Blackville, has returned and made
glad the heart of "little" Doc.

Three Jurors Cured
Of Cholera Morbus with One Small

Mr. G. W. 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." For sale by The

A Disastrous Wreck.
Charlotte, N. 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.

each shining hour by gathering
honey for some freckle-faced boy to
smear on bis bread.
