At this writing he is doing well as could be expected. We ? hope and pray for a speedy recovery. Farmers hold your cotton. Yon will realize better prices later. Every white Democrat voter should I go to the polls on election day and roll up a big vote for Lever. How .any white man can vote for the old negro Dsntzler in preference to such an energetic white man as* Mr. Lever is something I can't understand. Many wanks to the seven pretty W-. sisters who placed a large slice of birth. day cake in the mail box. I see some peach trees on the route fall of blooms, also some apple blooms. Some of the finest peacans 1 have ever seen, can be found growing on the farm of M. Lv Bister. The owner presented to the carrier some which BPv''' were very toothsome. Many thanks ?P| Mrs. Bister.

J., Oct. 28.?In a fearful railroad accident 60 people were hurled into eternity by an electric car on the Sea Shore railroad lin$s jumping the track on the trestle bridge over me thoroughfare, plunging its load of humanity into a watery grave below. The bndge is fifteen feet above the water jpnd those on board had foil time in Which to realize their awful fate. The accident was due to a rail "turning in." The rail was evidently. out of plumb and the flange of the wheel caught this and twisted it inwards. It was this that the threw first car off the track and into the Water, dragging the second and third cars in after it. From 80 to 100 people were aboard, mostly in the first and second cars. These were entombed and escape was (impossible. The rescue work was immediately begun, but the work was done under such difficulties that little could be accomplished. When the train left the track it was running at a high speed, as much as 40 miles an hour. Attempt TTpoa the Life of lire. Sallie ffibeoa. Mrs. Sallie Gibson, of Columbia, niece of the late "Squire" Levi Meetze, and who inherited his property, was the victim of a murderous assault on Monday morning between 2 and 3 o'clock. The motive was robbery and the evidence points to a negro, Whitmire, who works in a nearby stable. The negro knocked at the door of Mrs. Same Gibson, giving the name of a boarder in the house and as soon as his victim appeared he struck her a terrific blow with a heavy piece of iron. She made a gallant fight and this, aided by her screams, frightened her assailant and brought her assistance. Whitmire has.been arrested and is tnow in jait Mrs. Gibson will recover. Inspection pf Sural Routes. Washington Wilkinson, rural delivery inspector, is here this week making a general inspection, of the rural routes from this place, and investigating changes which have been proposed to better the service. Next week he takes up the service at Gilbert and Leesvilfe. There are between 36 and 40 routes in this county and a new one has been recommended from Pelion. The mail service in this county could hardly be improved upon and it is all due to the tireless energy and constant attention of Congressman Lever. To Democrats of this County. I desire to call the attention of the Democratic voters of this county to the election notices published in this paper. It is desirable that every Democratic voter who can possibly do so to vote. It is especially desirable in the federal election, as the influence of a congressman from the South depends somewhat on the number of votes he receives in the general election for the reason that our conditions are not well understood by the other sections of the Union.

The death angel visited this home today and claimed for its own, little Annbells, the month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McCartha.
