Condition of the Injured. There have been no more fatalities as the result of last Thursday's wreck, and so far as the reporter has been able to gather information, all of the injured seem to be getting along reasonably well. The condition of Mr. Julian Johnson is still regarded as serious. Messrs. W. T. Slaughter, V. B. Hall, R. A. Willis and W. H. Wylie. Jr.. are getting along nicely. All of these are at Rock Hill. Messrs. A. S. Morrow, P. B. Whisonant and Ed. Turner, are suffering much pain; but seem to be Improving slowly. Mrs. H. B. Bulst is still at the Parish hotel and is getting along nicely. It is stated that Mr. T. C. Hicks may have to suffer the amputation of a leg. He is at his home in Lancaster. One of the three Negroes who were taken to Rock Hill, was thought to be in a critical condition on Sunday; but he is now believed to be improving. The three Negroes who were brought to Yorkville are thought to be entirely out of danger. No direct word has been received here from Dukes or the other injured men. Opinion of Superintendent of Bridges. r>11 AUr.At.iFAr Clin^QV * Mr. J. v_/UdllUlLC V/UOCl *ci, . .... S. B. Thompson, general agent of the executive department of the Southern railway, while in the city yesterday, in company with Mr. W. A. Turk, general passenger agent, received a report from Mr. D. W. Lum, superintendent of bridges, on the accident last week at Pishing creek, on the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad. Mr. Lum found twenty-five inches broken from the flange of one of the wheels under the front truck of the engine, and is of the opinion that this caused the accident?that the front wheels jumped the track, bunching the ties and tearing down the structure. Mr. Lum had previously examined the trestle and found it in safe condition, and reports on th*e timbers still standing that they are fairly sound. The last report the authorities of the road had on the trestle was that it was capable of standing a locomotive of 140,000 pounds, while the one that went down weighed only 56,000 pounds. Mr. Thompson says that since the Southern railway took over the South Carolina and Georsia Extension it has put 1,200,000 feet of new timbers into the trestles, and was pushing the work of repair on all of them as rapidly as possible.

In behalf of myself, the passengers on the train and of the Southern railroad, I desire to extend to the good people of Yorkville and the country surrounding, a sense of my hearty appreciation of their noble efforts for the succor and relief of the wounded at the trestle disaster last Thursday. I saw more than a dozen men whose work was especially impressive by reason of its energy and intelligence, and would - * be glad If I knew their names, in order that I might thank them personally. As it is my acquaintance and information enables me to especially designate only Dr. A. Y. Cartwright, Messrs. W. D. Glenn, D. M. Hall and W. F. Bray. These were among the most conspicuous; but numerous others with whom I am not acquainted and whose names I have been unable to learn, did equally commendable work, and all command my highest admiration and esteem. I am very respectfully, J. A. Maxwell, Supervisor of Track. Jti The Sky Pilot. The Sky Pilot. A Card of Correction. Editor Yorkville Enquirer; 1 notice m your paper touay statements alleged to be made by one Mr. Williford to the effect, that certain of the uninjured passengers selfishly neglected to give help to the ladies and injured. I beg to say that Mr. Williford has evidently spoken without full knowledge of the facts. v When I recovered my presence of mind somewhat after the wreck. I gave such help as I could in assisting passengers from the train. I personally helped down an elderly lady whom I afterwards learned was Mrs. J. C. Boyd of Pressly, N. C., and who will testify to the fact, for she insisted afterward that I give her my home address, which I did. I also helped down two children of Mr. J. H. B. Jenkins of Rock Hill. One of these is a cripple and had a crutch. I also helped another little girl whom I understood was Miss Love of Sharon: but I am not certain of her name. Afterward I took my friend Mr. Mills Stephenson to a place of safety. He did not appear to others to be seriously hurt; but I had reason to believe otherwise. As soon as I got him in a reasonably comfortable position. I returned and gave such help as I was able, in view of the physical shock from which I was suffering, ana the high mental excitement of the occasion. I desire nj>. praise or applause in this matter: but I do desire that the record be kept straight as to myself and my friend. * Respectfully. J. N. McLahrin.

This work is particular because prescriptions are frequently composed of the deadliest drugs, the use of which are dangerous except in the hands of experienced physicians and under certain conditions. If the druggist is careless in weighing or measuring these deadly drugs dire results may easily follow. We are always careful In compounding prescriptions and especially, particularly careful where poisons of any kirtd are used. You will run no risk if your prescriptions are filled here.

A Voice From Florida. Yorkville, S. C., Sept, 7, 1903. THE HEATH-ELLIOTT MULE CO., Yorkvllle, S. C. Gentlemen?In reply to your Inquiry as to my knowledge of and experience with the Summers Buggy, I will say that without a single exception It is the best Buggy I have ever .seen or handled that could be sold for less than $100. I have had an experience of eight years as a dealer in vehicles, and during that time have handled a number of the different makes of buggies and none have given such universal satisfaction as to comfort, style, and above all, durability, as has the Summers. Although most of the leading makes of buggies are offered by the dealers In my section, including myself, it is useless to undertake to sell anything else to a customer who knows about the Summers. I have been in York county several weeks visiting relatives and friends, and have a general knowledge of the various makes of buggies that are being offered, and am free to say that the high grade ones are worth all that are being asked for them, but If I was going to buy a buggy for my personal use here I would freely pay $25 more for the Summers than any of the others, provided, of course, I could not buy it for less. I have no interest in your business nor that of the Summers people and simply make the foregoing statements because I know them to be true and because I hope they will be of service to my York friends and the public generally in deciding what make to buy when they need a new buggy. Yours very truly, H. J. Nichous. Postoffice, Wildwood, Fla. CROPS THAT PAYHardly any crop pays as large returns for the labor expended as the Hay crop. The labor of sowing the seeds and cutting the hay represents the entire expense. No cultivation during growth is necessary, hence It Is a crop that practically makes itself, onrl thp nrnn that malfoa Itaolf la ppr tain to be a money-maker. Every farmer should sow several acres to grasses for pasturing, instead of depending on nature to furnish Just any kind of pasturage. Orchard Grass, Red Clover, Crimson Clover, Lucerne, Barley and Rye all make good pasturage and good hay crops. We believe it will pay any farmer to devote a few acres to these crops for early spring pasturage and hay. See us for the best grades of seeds. JAS. M. STARR & CO., Leading Druggists. THE SKY PILOT.
