Three men were killed, one fatally injured and two less seriously hurt in a head-on collision between the northbound fast freight and a switch engine , running light from Charlotte to Columbia. The accident occurred on a sharp curve two miles north of Winnsboro at about 5 o'clock Sunday morning. The accident is said to he dne to the failure of Operator H. E, Bolick, at Columbia, to deliver to Conductor Murphy and Engineer Price of the freight train an order giving to the extra engine coming south the right of way to Winnsboro. As a result of this failure the fast freight did not take siding at Winnsboro to await the arrival of the light engine, but left there without knowing that the engine was expected and believing that all was clear to the next meetinarooint. Mr. Bolick, it is said, is very much depressed over this accident. He delivered three orders and thought he had given the fourth one which was most important, and by some means was. overlooked. Both engines were demolished with nine cars and their contents. Every one of the crew on the extra engine were killed. Three of those on the fast freight received wounds. "THE MALLEABLE STEEL RANGE." The finest lot off ranges that ever came to Columbia are being exhibited this week at Lee A Lorick & Bro's., hardware store. Don't fail to see them bake biscuits in thee minutes. "Where are you going, my dear? " said he. "I am going to buy a range," said she. "What range do you prefer?" asked "Why 'THE MALLEABLE' Steel Range is the range for me." WUtt lfai and SlMks Are Held ia Slavery. Washington, Oct. 12.?fresh allegations of the existence of slavery in southern Florida, below Tampa, have been made to the department of justice, and it is alleged that hundreds of men in that State, both whites and negroes are held in virtual slavery. It is declared that those responsible for this condition of affairs are mostly Northern men' and companies engaged in the turpentine ana lumber business and in mining phosphate rock. . # Gilbert Items.

There has been some talk of reviving the .Masonic lodge here. Why not let all interested come together and open up the hall and unbridle the goat? There is an excellent building here and all ?the furniture can soon be . replaced. Besides, there is plenty of material around here to work on, in fact, some are going elsewhere to enter the brotherhood. This will make it so much more desirable to have a working lodge here that they may worship in a temple nearer their f homes. It is with this order like any other, no one can well be a good, active member when he is placed at a disadvantage in attending the meetings. Let tnree, five, seven or more speak out. S. County Fair is in Full Blast. The officers and management at the fair grounds were busy all day yesterday receiving exhibits and placing same to best advantage.

O.VV4WJ j WW there is an immense jam on the grounds and everyone you meet is rejoicing and happy. Friends meet from all sections of the county and are exchanging hearty greetings. The old soldiers with their silvery hair are numerous and meet their comrades warmly. The shows are in number and variety> while fruit stands and soft drinks are served and luncheons to satisfy all demands are in abundance. In all, it is a jolly crowd and the fair a success, of which the management should feel proud. ? i Dynamite Used. A negro school house was blown up with dynamite at Seneca on Thursday morning, before day, last week. The structure was in process of erection and though almost completed was unoccupied. It was worth about $1,500 and owed its existence to money sent down from the north. There is no race feeling there and the authorities are investigating. There is another negro college in Seneca which has been in operation for several years, and there seems to have been a good deal of rivalry and bad feeling between certain supporters of one institution for those connected with the other. In all probability the motive may be found in the antipathy on the part or one set or negroes ror tne other.

Lexington's Taxable Property '< Increasing. We have secured from the Auditor's books of this county the following interesting and valuable information: For the year 1905 the total taxable property in the county, as returned for taxation, was $4,104,665; the dogs returned for taxation, upon which 50c each was paid, were 2731, and the poll tax pavers numbered 5025. For the year 1906, the total taxable property returned for taxation, is $4,818,954; the dogs number 3236; and the poll tax payers now amount to 5160. Thus it will be seen that property tax values have increased $624,289.00 within the year. This exclusive of the dog tax and poll tax. The dog tax itself representing an increase of j ?252.50 paid into the treasury of the j county f and the poll tax payers have j increased 135 in number. Figuring that llj^ mills tax will be paid on the property returned for taxation, it is interesting to note that on the increase of ?624,289.00 the sum of ?7,179.32 will be paid, thus making practically an increase of ?7,500.Q0 in the tax receips for this county, exclusive of all special levies, which 'if added to the above amount would probably make it reach a sum in the neighborhood of ?10.000.00. i Free Tea Luacb. < The Jas. L. Tapp Co., Columbia, offers dtiring Fair week a free lunch at their store, and while enjoying yourself there you will behold one of the grandest displays of dry goods, : notions, millinery, carpets and numerous articles of merchandise! in this line. It is worth your visit without going to the State Fair. Meet all your friends at Tapp's, and you will have a good time. White Men Indicted. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12.?The Fulton county grand jury today returned indictments against 20 white men, charging them with rioting in Atlanta on Sept. 22. Previously two white men had been indicted on the same charge, and indictments found against 60 negroes, charging them with complicity in the murder of County Po- < liceman Heard, Sept. 24. All of these indictments are a result of the investigation being made by < the grand jury of the recent race riots < here. Further indictments are look- < ed for when the jury meets again : next week. - ^ I Cold Weather Helps Business. ; Bradstreet says cold weather has greatly stimulated many lines of retail trade hitherto inclined to lag, notably in this respect being heavy- , weight clothing, shoes and footwear. That the early advent of snow and frost has done some damage is evident in reports of injury to fruit orchards, vines and tobacco plants at the West, and rumors of frost damage to cotton at the South. The railways seem to be finding increased difficulty in handling the traffic offering and fears of future great congestion are expressed.
