TRAIN WRECKERS REMOVE
KAILS AND WRECK TRAIN
3Sear Denmark, Killing a Colored
' Fireman and a White Tramp, Who
Was Stealing a Ride.
A special dispatch to The News
and Courier from Denmark says
train wreckers are responsible for
the derailment of the south bound
? mail train on the Seaboard Air Line
^Railway, which passed Denmark at
*1:45 o'clock Thursday morning, the
death of two men, a negro fireman
and a white tramp, the injuries sus
tained by Engineer Poteat. the shak
ing up of the passengers and the
?destruction of the engine.
The tran was in charge of Con
ductor Harry Butler and Engineer
Poteat. While going down grade
just before reaching a curve, two
miles south of this place, Thursday
morning, the engineer saw just
? ahead the end of a rail turned in
toward the middle of the track.
Scarcely had he blown for "down
brakes" when the engine reached
the dislocated rail and left the track,
plowing its way along the ties until
it was completely wrecked.
The engineer was hurled through
the top of his cab for quite a dis
tance. In his fall he sustained a
? broken nose and several bruises, but
was not seriously hurt. The negro
fireman and a white tramp, who is
supposed to have been riding on the
cow catcher, were instantly killed,
the body of the fireman being burned
to a crisp when removed from the
wreckage, and that of the tramp
badly scalded. The baggage master
and express messenger were bruised
up, but were not seriously injured.
None of the passengers were hurt.
Besides the engine, the mail, bag
gage and one passenger coach left
the rails and were thrown across
the track. The other coaches were
loose from the trucks but did not
leave the rails. After the wreck
investigation revealed the fact that
two rails had been removed, a crow
bar, a large wrench and a bottle of
kerosene oil, which had been used
: ?o loosen the nuts where the rails
are joined, being found at the side
of the track.
The accident occurred not far
from the camp of the Bamberg Coun
ty chain gang, where bloodhounds
are kept, and the dogs were soon on
the scene. They immediately took
up the scent and followed the trail
Jflto the corporate limits of Den
mark, where it was lost. Detectives
arrived on the scene Thursday and
are scouring the region for clews
that will lead to the detection oi
the guilty parties.
It is believed that the wreckers
are the same ones that caused the
wreck of the same train at Otside,
just a few miles further south only
a few months ago. The wreck Thurs
day morning was more disastrous
in that" two lives were lost and the
damage was greater. Conductor But
ler was also in charge of the train
that was wrecked on the previous
occasion.
Tae detectives who are working
on the case claim to have their sus
picions, but they refuse to say any
thing for publication. It is inti
mated, however, that very probably
the motive was vengeance, as some
of the officials of the road were on
the train.
Engineer Poteat was in the wreck
between Swansea and Sweden six or
seven years ago._when two passeng
er engines collided.
Married at Trenton.
The Augusta Herald says one of
the most interesting events of the
season was the marriage at four
o'clock Tuesday afternoon of Miss
Frances Bettis of Trenton, and Mr.
Lawrence Stafford Wolfe of Augus
ta, Ga., the occasion being one of
interest to many friends throughout
Georgia and Carolina. The bride,
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Bettis, is- one of the best known and
most beloved yoUng women in her
home State and enjoys a far reach
ing popularity wherever she is
known. Beauty of person is aug
mented by a fascinating charm of
manner which insures her friends
wherever she is known. Mr. Wolfe
is also well and prominently known
and holds a responsible position on
the Augusta Herald.
Cold Weather at Last.
The coldest weather of this season
was experienced here Friday morn
ing, the mercury having crawled
down below forty. The coolest day
of the season up to yesterday was

BOWMAN NEWS.
Blind Tiger Located and Captured
in That Town.
Bowman, Nov. 19.?Special: There
was some hustling around on some
of the farms yesterday when the
wind commenced to blow with a
light gale from the north, finding
some farmers with corn uncut with
temperature dropping rapidly to
ward the freezing point. It was in
reality the first genuine cold day of
this fall and notwithstanding the
bright sunshine, it was anything but
comfortable riding, especially late in
the day. Plenty of ice formed dur
ing the night and the temperature
went low (Jjvrn, touching the 21
degree mark, destroying almost
everything that is "killable."
The scent of the illict sale of
"booze" has been floating in the air
hereabout for some little time.
Trail was struck, which became quite
hot a day or two ago,, and the
"hounds of justice" located the ti
ger or tigress in a den almost in the
heart of town in the person of
13hirer. A number of gallon jugs
and quarts were found secreted In a
thicket" close by, all of which were
empty; except two or three, which
contained "low-lick." Some of the
jugs bore evidence of being lately
emptied. The defendant was plac
ed on trial and one witness testified
to having bought two half-pints of
corn whiskey on the morning just
before the arrest was made. Inten
, dent Mittle did not tarry long with
. the case, the defendant was prompt
i ly found guilty and ? sentenced to a
i fine of $50, or 30 days. She antici
! pated the verdict with a doubt, for
, immediately after the sentence was
passed she walked up to the desk
: and rolled out the bills to the re
i quired amount of sentence.

MOM ROUTE
CHARLESTON AUTOMOBILE CLUB
TAKES UP THE PROJECT.
Supervisors of Berkeley, Dorchester,
Orangeburg and Calhoun Promise
Hearty Co-operation.
A Charleston special to the Co
lumbia Record says the good roads
committee of the Automobile club,
composed of James Cosgrove, chair
jman; Admiral J. D. Adams, Henry P.
William A. C. Tobias, N. M. Blitch,
Julius D. Koster, J. A. Hertz, Paul
E. Trouche and President Wilson G.
Harvey, held an important meeting
Monday night at the Commercial
club.
The matter of breaking empty
bottles on the Belgian block road
way outside the city limits, was re
ferred Lo the governors of the club
with the suggestion that Sheriff Mar
tin be requested to have his rural
police stop the practice.
The governors were also requested
to call the attention of the Atlantic
Coast Line to the condition of its
crossing on Qosgrove avenue ana
Seven-Mile, and the Southern rail
way to the crossings at Edisto lane
and the Etiwan works, and that they
be asked to put same in good or
d*r ' -
The continuance of the work of
building the Summerville highway
was thoroughly discussed, and the
importance of this highway to the
future development of the "Hinter
land" of Charleston was stressed.
The entire committee emphasized
the fact that no public work could
be of more real value to the city
of Charleston than this highway
when completed. A reccommenda
tion was made that the Automobile
club use its influence in every w ay
to promote and accomplish the com
pletion of this highway.
The improvement of the roads
from Charleston to Columbia was
considered, and letters from the su
pervisors of the different counties
were read. From this information
it would appear that the Orangeburg
road is the most feasible route to
present. The committee, however,
determined to visit the different
counties as far as Orangeburg and
Columbia in automoy.les, meeting
the supervisors of each county and
inspecting the roads.
Arrangements will be made at once
for the tour, so that same may be
made within the next two weeks.
The committee is very much grati
fied by the interest shown by the
several supervisors, and with their
hearty oc-operatlon within a few
months there should be no difficulty
in making the trip in automobiles
from any of these counties to Char
leston.
?In speaking of the matter The
News and Courier says: The inter
est in the proposed improvements
to the high- ays between Charles
ton and Columbia continues to in
crease. Ex-Congressman Dibble
came down from Orangeburg yes
terday in his automobile, accompa
nied by Mr. B. F. Parier, and reports
that he found a lot of enthusiasm
along the route of the proposed high
way.
Mr. Dibble, who Is one of South
Carolina's best citizens, a man with
an exceptional record for doing
things that are worth while, and
which benefit others is taking a great
interest in good roads in his sec
tion, and wants to see the highway
to Charleston built. He thinks the
beet route would be via what is
known as the Orangeourg Roaa,
although he thinks Four Hole Swamp
could be put in good condition at
very little cost.
He states that Charleston, the
metropolis'of the State, as well as
the only port of South Carolina,
should have good roads leading to
all sections, so that the people of
the State, so many of whom are
identified with the people of Char
leston, would be able to visit the
city at frequent intervals over good
roads.
Mr. Dibble heartily endorses the
plan of the good roads committee of
the Charleston Automobile Club in
having the highway improved not
I alone between Charleston and Colum
bia, but between Charleston and
Florence, Charleston and Augusta,
and Charleston and Beaufort. He
is entjhusiastic over the proposed
path finding tour of the good roads
committee, which will take place
in about two weeks time, and he
promises to meet the party at Harley
ville in his automobile and show
them Orangeburg county, which he
believes to be the banner county of
the State.
