brocal News. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 10, 1900. , A Shocking Accident. j That was a shocking accident-one ; ot the worst ir*, the long list ol' gin vic- j tims-by which Mr. Hubert C. G ri III ii 1 lost Iiis lile at ('berry, on the Blue ! Bulgo l?.iiho.-ul, on the afternoon of the '?7 Mi ult. ''lily 1 he bal est mention has been 'made ol it in tho papers, mid this was incorrect in nearly every particu lar. Thc public will bo interested, we ?uv - uv. ??i an accurate and fuller ac count. Mr. Uri lliu. who was just past forty two years of agc ?il his death, ?ind whoso wile was Miss Sallie Daven poil, of (!loenville County, moved lo the vicinity of Cherry's Crossing, in Oconcc County, eight years ?go. For live years he lived on the large (.'berry ! faim, ?md during most of that time had been postmaster at Cherry. Ile was a : good fanner and good mali, true to every obligation, He was ?in active , member of Shiloh Church I Baptist) ; iiinl fur some lime served this Church and Pant's (Hove Chinch, in thisCoun ty, as Superintendent of the Sunday School. His body was interred ?it Shi loh, the Hov. I?. Weston Hiotr, ol'.Sen eca, conducting the service. Ile is sur vived by his wife and five children, the two oldest being daughters, near ly grown. Thc postofiicc authorities have been asked already to appoint Mrs. G rilli n postmaster ?it Cherry to succed her husband. About. 2 o'clock of the day he was killed. Mr. ti ri flin was having sonic of his cotton ginned at the plantation ginnery, and was loading the seed into his wagon as they fell from the saws to the lloor. Waiting for the seed to accumulate, he explained after he was hurt, he saw ?i small quantity of lint that the brush failed to catch from the saws, dandling ?iud whirled about by the suction. Stooping ?iud extending his right hand to remove ihis, in ii twinkling before his thirteen-year-old sou and a mau who were, walking in the gin could understand and raise an alarm, his forearm was stripped to the bone, his hand cut off just above the wrist and dropped into tho mote pile a nearly unrecognizable mass of pulp. Freed by +hc loss of his hand, Mr. Gritliu rose and walked to tho door, down tho steps and toward thc engine house, blood streaming from his arni, till he mot the fireman who, hearing the alarm, had stopped the angine and started to investigate. Seating him self on a w agon and extending piteous ly the torn and blecdiug stump, tho bones freed nt the wrist standing apart like a fork, Mr. G ri Iii ll calmly told how it happened and said there was no m ed to send for a doctor, for he was beyond help, and that the accident, sudden and awful as it was, had not found him unprepared for death. His arni was bandaged by tho bystanders and the How of blood slopped. It was two and a half hours before the doctors ar rived, but they found bim bleeding from a fearful internal hemorrhage, caused, no doubt, by a powerful effort to free himself from thc gin, and they could do nothing but ease his passage out of tho world. For two mortal \ hours and moro ho endured the most i terrible agony, and finally, as he was passing under complete control of the 1 powerful drug administered by bunnin j hands, ho murmured his last words I with tho query: "What, doctor?" and in thirty minutes was at perfect rest. ( Autun f ?mS, lt is in no way Our intention to Hatter, Mr. Editor, but wo must soy t that TUE INTELLIGENCER has ono or * two correspondents who aro iinprov- h iug iu the art of writing every week ?. Some never think of trying to write, and others from tho very futility of j their minds never try to. It is the j highest injunction of tho benign stat . ates that we develop to tho highest de < grce possible every organ and faculty that has been committed to our charge. 1 [It becomes evident from every-day i lifo that the development of the mind j I is thc highest attainment in the reach s of lu?n. Knowledge is power. So. al iso, tho mind is the power of men. s . And this power is not spontaneous; ( ' even so great a niau as Solomon delib- ] ?erately set his whole being and forces 1 do liud out knowledge and thc ways of j wisdom. Indeed, (?od luis so ordered , nature that an unnecessary product will i not be maintained. A mind, an organ, that will not work will not bc charac terized. There aro many who may usc obstreperous ovations in displaying the splendor of their school taught in tellects, but to tho trained observer all such is as the tinkling of cymbals. (>1?. that many of us had the mean* of leaching the mental and moral instruc tion that we so greatly need, and that others would avail themselves of the obsolescent privileges thnt pass FO rapidly. But let not nil rest upon the mind. Tho hands, the voice, thc feet should all respond to duty. It was our delightful privilege to be one of thc recipients of a very deep and thoughtful sermon delivered by Kev. J. F, Singleton at Lebanon hist Sun dav. Mr. Singleton is truly .. deep thinker He lins that divino power of tbrUling and animating the soul?* of men with a nobler and purer aim. May his efforts ever flourish with those bright rewards which havo always characterized such in earnest worker. Kov. Mr. Waddell, of the Epworth Orphannge, made a very interesting talk concerning Epworth Orphanage last Sunday afternoon nt Sandy Springs. Bon AMATEUR. Teachers Wanted. Mn.

(Jct. 2?. When the exceedingly wild and timid nature of these strange Arctic amphi bia is considered, coupled with the fact that they arc provided with Kippers only to supply the place ol hands and feet, their performances are absolutely marvelous and trench ?lonely upon thc incredible. That such necessarily clumsy creatures on land have- been successfully taught, to drill, pitch, catch, play upon different musical in struments, .sing and imitate many oth er human acts and arts almost surpass es belief, but that they do so is attest ed by the piess of New York, in which city they continuously drew big and delighted crowds.
