Westminster, August 27.-Past mail train No. 86 was wrecked at Harbin's side track, five milos south of Westmin ster, at 8.20 o'clock on Monday morning. The train consisted of mail, express and baggage oars, two passenger coaches and three Pullman sleeping oars, and was in oharge of Conductor Cannon and Engi neer Henry M. Busba. It was running at the speed of about 60 miles an hour when it plunged into an open switch. The great iron monster tore up the track, ploughed the earth aud then fell broad side across the main line about fifty yards below the switch. That no lives were lost oan only be attributed to the mercy of an all-wise Qod. The injured are: Engineer, Busha, Atlanta; Mail Clerk, Nathan E. Lowenthal. Atlanta; Fireman, J. S. Williams,colored, Atlanta; Qeorge Tiger, colored, Greenwood, S. C. Mr. W. A. Dagnall, formerly of West minster, was one of the postal clerks in the mail oar. He was fortunate in escap ing unhurt.

Tho wind storms, whioh visited the country last week, left its impresa also in Seneca. Several houses were un roofed, and tho residence of Mr. J. A. Brook, which is in process of orection, was seriously damaged. We know it was coming! Justas wo wore ready to say something in this week's letter about, the "mistress and maid" or "servant-girl problem," hore comes along the Sunny South and takes tho wind out of our sail. The artiole is a good ono, from tho pon of Mrs. T. W. Greene Sho suggests among other things that "every town in overy county ought to have a school toi the traiuing Of dornest ie, servants. Tuttle tho money that is now wasted in Latin and algebra and uso it in teaching them to cook, wash and sew and do general house work," and goos on to say "that tho school ought to bo managed by tho best white womon of the community." We, do not think this plan practicable, but wo do arguo in that we "need good housekeepers in order to have good ser vants." The troublo is that housekeep ers generally do not domand or require good service. The majority of house keepers allow dornest ie service done in a looso haphazard fashion, utterly void of system, rarely planning or giving a moment's forethought to i day's work. Tho good housekeeper must, train her self, must plan her day's work carefully without crowding it and above all soo to its execution. Wo know a little woman whoso domestic affairs were like dock work, so careful was tho arrangement of every detail. Sho studied it as a man would his business, and was said to have more irons in the fire than any woman in tho community. But why dwell upon this Gordian knot?" Every family should bo a training school for them, and our opinion is that the "lie that con trolleth his tongue" or "taketh a city" is not in it compared to her who man ages well ono of the aforesaid, to say nothing of a half a dozen of them I M.
