Local News. WEDNESDAY, MAU. 20, 1902. Capt. Patrick l or Adjutant and Inspector Genera!. Anderson County esteems it a privi lege to present to the voters ot* tho ?State for a State position the name of Captain John M. Patrick, who hus announced himself as a candidate for the oilice ot Adjutant and Inspector G encrai. Captain Patrick lins for many years been identilied with the State militia and with military education and (rain ing. Ile was for sonic time Captain of the Greenville Guards, is now Captain of the Anderson Hilles, and was for many years a co-worker with Iiis lather, Col. John 1>. Patrick, of sacred memory, in the Patrick Military Institute in this city. Ile ia a cultured, Christian gentle man, a man who will do credit to thc State and reflect honor on the position to which he aspires in case ol' his elec tion. Not having had u "State cabinet officer'' since the days of Gov. Orr, Anderson County feels justified in presenting to her sister counties the name of this worthy son for the posi tion named. A Terrible and Fatal Accident at Orr Cot ton Mill. Monday afternoon Mr. Ulysses II. Scott, engineer in charge in putting in the 1,'JOO horse-power engine at tito Ori ent ton mill, foll between the governor wheel and the casing of tho engine and was so terribly crushed and mangled that death resulted nt 9:"J0 in the even ing. Mr. Scott was sent hen-by thu West inghouse-Church-Kerr Company, from whom the engine was bought, und whose main ollie?! is in Philadelphia, but tho home of the deceased was in Vi Kiklyn, X. Y., where he has a wile ?ti?? four children, two of them about .". vu and tho youngest live j cars old. <. pge ol' the deceased was! or ry-two. The work of constructing and placing the engine was completed last week, and steam wes turned on .Monday to test tho w?tk. The innchincry moved off smoothly and satisfactorily. There were probably' twenty-fly o people pres ent to watch thc result. Noone thought of witnessing such a shocking and fatal trngedy, as the engine is HO construct ed that all tho machinery is encased in au upright, cylindrical iron construc tion except a balance wheel on the east about Bix feet in diameter, and a gov ernor wheel on tho west, about five feet in diameter. The machinery was mo- ing slowly, and Mr. Scott stepped rp JU the plat form to feel the bearings of the jour nal on the side where the governor wheel was turning. In some unac countable way he Blipped and fell be tween the wheel and tho casing, and before the machinery could be stopped bis lower extremities were frightfully, mangled. Both limbs were crushed -and broken, ?the left limb below the knee and the right above and below tho knee. The left side was also crush -ed and several ribs broken, and there was a large contusion on tho left breast Jost over tin heart. In a few minutes after the accident in response to telephone calls, several physicians were in atteudauco. Strange to say, with his limbs so mangted and almost torn asunder, Mr. Scott did not lose consciousness, but was bright and hopeful, asking tho physicians to save his limbs and expressing tho desire to be carried to tho Hotel Chiquoln. Ho was token to tho hotel and remained cheerful during tho trip. He did not appear to realizo that ho might die un til told by one of tho physicians that there was no hopo and asked to tell wlfat they could do for him. Telegrams were sent to his family and friends and everything done, that was possibilit? be done, but at 0:40 death came. Letters on person of tho deceased in dicated that he was a Mason, and this fraternity took charge of the remains. The body was embalmed and prepared for shipment by G. P. Tolly & Son. Hy direction of tho family tho re .mains were shipped this morning to Brooklyn, tho home of the deceased. "The remains were escorted to tho de pot by a delegation from Hiram Lodge, A. F. M. Tho bereaved family has the sympa thy of tho entire people of Anderson. This is a shocking and trying ordeal for the wife and children, and touches a sympathetic chord in the hearts of all . of us.
