KILLED AT NORTH COLORED BRAKEMAN RAN OVER BY A TRAIN. His Body Was Completely Severed in Two, Having Been Run Over by Several Cars. \ A fatal accident occurred at.North on Thursday night al. it seven o'clock, by which Sam Stroman, a colored brakeman on the Seaboaid Air Line Railway was run over and instantly killed by a freight train as it was leaving the station. Stroman worked on the train that ran ove.* him, but how the fatal accident oc curred no one seems to know. It is said the unfortunate m?.n wa.; seen standing at the depot just be fore the train pulled out from the station, but just how he came to ge' in the way of the moving cars and was killed cannot be found out, as no one seems to have witnessed the terrible accident. He may have at tempted to get aboard of the train and fell under the wheelsv Conductor 3. O. Gibson, who was in charge of the train, says that when his train was about one hun dred yards from the station he got a signal to come back to the depot and he was then told of the acci dent. He says no one on the tram knew how it had happened and there were only two persons who saw any thing at all about the killing. These two stated at Norths that they saw Gibson only after he was pinned un der the train. Stroman, who lived at North, was badly mangled. In fact, he was hardly recognizable. His body was completely cut in two by the large number of cars that passed over it. The unfortunate man was about twenty-two years of age, and leaves a^wife. The accident caused some little excitement, and a crowd soon gathered to view the remains of the unfortunate man. who was generally known in and about North. Aiken Woman a Leper. A dispatch from Aiken to the Co lumbia Record says there is much excitement there over the revela tion that Miss Mary V. Kirk, a wealthy woman who went to Aiken fourteen years ago from New York, and since then has lived practically a hermit's life, has admitted to the authorities that she is a leper. She was put under the guard of four special policemen in her home, and on Thursday she was taken in cus tody by the State board of health. Nothing is known of the woman's history. She is about 60 years old, and is apparently plentifully sup plied with funds. Business Changes. ? Mr. L. H. Wannamaker has retir ed from the firm of Wannamaker, Smoak & Co., and Mr. A. G.

He is well-known in this., city, as he was in the em ploy of Wannamaker. Smoak & Co for several years before going to North, where he has been engaged in business for some time. This firm does a large business in its line, and will continue to do so. Being an incorporated company the recent changes in its force does not effect the name or business of th-i concern in the least. Farmers and Merchants Bank.

The thermometer made a drop of severai degrees and the northeast win:! blew in on us cold and bleak.

The News and Courier is one of the best newspapers in the South, and it and Mr. Wannamaker will make a strong combination. We wish both great success in their new relation. Try This One. Among those who like to mingle thought with their sports a pleasant hour may be spent transforming one word to another by the changing of a single letter at a time. For ex ample, one of the company writes upon the board the word "beef" and says it is to be changed to "pork." A second person goes to the board and by the change of one letter makes it beet. The third person changes it to beat, so by each one's changing one better it becomes suc cessively; Beef, beet, beat, peat, pert, port and pork. Or changes nose to hand thus: Nose, hose, host, hast, hart, hurt, hint, hind, hand. Guiding Star of the Republic. The school teacher is the guiding star of the republic. She takes the little bantling fresh from the home nest, full of his pouts, his pets and his passions, ungovernable in many cases, a rampant, riotous little wretch whose own mother often ad mits- she sends him to school pur posely to get rid of him. The schoolma'am takes a whole carload of these little anarchists, half of whom singly 'and alone canncrt be handled by their own mothers, and she puts them in the way of becom ing useful citizens. Think of th's, parents, when you feel disposed to find fault with the teachers. Orangeburg New Postoffice. Postmaster Webster has received a letter from Congressman Lever in which he says an agent will prob ably be sent to Orangeburg about the first of January and as soon as his report is received, the matter of the selection of a site for the pub lic building will be taken up by the Treasury Department and the site determined upon. Postmaster Web ster is expecting the agent to come in at any time now. Gave Us a Call.

What we need is to educate our people to understand the full nu tritional value of cotton seed mea.l and to utilize it with intelligence and skill in feeding all classes of live stock, and thus build up permane nt animal industries through which we can supply the needed farm-yard manure to increase the ^vegetable matter in our soils, and multiply their power to withstand drougnt anc. to produce larger crops with less ex penditure for commercial fertilizer and labor. Cotton seed meal is a gift to the South which is not appreciated as it should be, but it should always be borne in mind that what has been learned about it has cost much la bor, much time and much money, and those who are the truest and best friends to the Southern farmer will caution him to use this great concentrate with that degree of skill and discretion which is necessary to insure his obtaining the largest profit from its utilization. At tho same time it should be stated that with Bermuda pastures and the proper use of cotton seed meal, the construction of silos to the necessary succulent feed of winter feeding, a rotation of crops, and the reduction of the cotton area, and the ex tension of our animal industries, the permanent prosperity, happiness and independence of the Southern farmer will be assured. Therefore, no effort and pains should be spared to put these essential facts concern ing the marvelous benefits which cot ton seed meal will confer on our farmers before them in a definite and clear-cut manner.?0. A. C. Review. LEXINGTON HAI) SHOCK - \ By the Death of Mrs. Rosaline Shu ler Stoudenm'ire. The Lexington Dspiatch, in its last week's issue, says: ? All Lexington was shocked and grieved on Thursday when it was learned that Mrs. Rosaline ? Shuler Stoudenmire had died suddenly at her home near Cameron, Orang^ burg county, on Wednesday night. Many would not believe it?they could not believe it?for it was only a year ago that she left her parent* home a beautiful and happy bride. Mrs. Stoudenmire was the eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Shu ler of Selwood. For two years she taught in the Palmetto Collegiate institute in this place, and by her lovable and sweet disposition, she endeared herself to all. The child ren worshiped her and to them her death was a distinct blow. Her remains were brought to Sel wood on Thursday and interred In the church yard at St. Michael'? Luthern church in the presence of a large congregation of sorrowing rel atives and friends. The funeral ser vices were conducted from the church by her pastor, the Rev. Mr. Kline, who joined her in holy wed lock. The deepest sympathy of the en tire community goes out to the be reaved ones in this, their hour of su preme sorrow. Watch Yourself Go By. Just stand aside and watch your self go by; Think of yourself as "he" instead of "!.' Note, closely as in other men you note, The bag-kneed trousers and tho seedy coat. Pick flaws; And fauit; forget the man is you, And try to make your estimate ring true. Confront yourself and look you in the eye? Just stand aside and watch yourself go by. Interprete all your motives just as though You looked on one whose aims you did not know. Let undisguised contempt surge through you when You see you shirk, 0 commonest of men! Despise your cowardice; condemn what'er You note of falseness in you any where. Defend no' one defect that shames your eye? Just stand aside and watch yourseif go by. And then with eyes unveiled to what you loathe? To sins that with sweet charity you'd "'othe? Back to your self-walled tenement you'll go With tolerance for all who dwell be low. The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink, Love's chain grow stronger by one mighty link? When you, with "he" as substitute for "I," Have stood aside and watched your self go by. RANSDALE'S MAXIMS. The season is on for special sales, but remember I am still selling at a profit, so come to me and get sat isfaction. It is impossible for merchants *o sell without profits. They cannoi pay expenses and sell at cost. I am still selling goods at and be low profits, no successful merchant can sell otherwise. Be spre and attend the many spec ial and clearance sales, but when you want values see me before yor. buy, as I can meet competition. All merchants want trade; all merchants want money; all mer chants want profit. I never tell customers they a?"e buying at cost, for they can't be lieve it. I am selling goods every day with a profit and my customers are sat isfied and willing to give it. You can't get something for noth ing; you often pay when you don't know It. My old customers are still dealing with me, and new ones coming in, which proves I am telling facts. Now, when you get ready for the best goods for the least money re member it is a pleasure to serve you. J. C. RANSDALE. Cleanliness of Honey-Making. Science has recently demonstrated many things of which the beekeeper might well take note and use to ad vantage in popularizing honey. Sci entific investigations and close ob servation have determined that the bee. witli its strong instinct for cleanliness. puts the cleanliest housekeeper to shame in the thor oughness with which it polishes and disinfects the comb cells, the recep tacles for storing noney. It gathers the aroma-laden nectar distilled by the blossoms and. in all its purity, piaces it in the honey sack. After reaching the hive, it is placed in the comb cell, where the bees blow a current of air warmed by the inmates of the hive continuously over the open cells, evaporating it to the con sistency of ripe honey, and in its marvelous process making the vari ous methods invented by syrup and sugar manufacturers appear crudi and unclean.
