HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
i& YOIJNG MAN FEARFULLY MAN
GLED BT THE TRAIN.
'3&>. S, Etland Cornier Fatally Crushed
in Attempting to Alight" From "a'
Moving Car at. Fort Motte.
?:? A most horrible accident occurred
at Fort iMbtte about midday on last
.?Saturday, by -which Mr. S. -Bland
-Oonneir, principal of the Fort Motte
-school, lost his -life, 'while attempt
ing to get off train No. 7, known as
-the-Carolina Special, while $he train
'.was in motion. The unfortunate
young man was thrown .under the
train b3r striking against the platform
iand was fearfully mangled.
The accident occurred about
twelve o'clock, and Mr. Conner lin
gered until about three o'clock when
he passed away. He was attended by
Drs. T. H; Dreher, of St. Matthews,
and Paul K. Switzer, of Fort Motte,,
T*ho did all that medical skill could
do to save the life of the young man,
hrvt he was so badly injured that all
their efforts were futile. All" that
could be'done for the sufferer was
done, both by the physicians and the
Tdnd people. ~( >
It was seen from the first that Mr.
' Conner had a slim chance to pull
through.. His head was badly cut in
?several places, and one of his arms
-was crushed into fragments. With
1 the-hope of sabring his life the doctors
amputated the crushed arm, but It
availed nothing, as the young man
.soon passed away after his arm had
been taken off. When first picked up
after the accident Mr. CcnTier was
,nneonscious.
? It seems that Mr. Conner, who, as
' above 3tated, was at the head of the
?Fort Motte school, had come down
to St. Matthews .to attend a teachers'
meeting, and was returning home
when' the fatal accident happened. It
-.seems that he returned to Fort. Motte
?on what ;ls known as the "Carolina
"Special," which train does not stop
at Fort (Motte, and'In attempting to
get off was thrown under :ihe train
and mangled.
Mr. Conner was the only living Bon
of Mrs. Hennie Conner of Holly Hill,
a younger brother having' died last
year, whf'e a' beneficiary cadet at the
South. Carolina Military Academy in
Charleston. Both of them were fine
young men, and were winning their
way in life when they were cut down
on'the very threshold of their young
manhood. Mr. Conner had one sis
ter, wlbo Is married and lives in Flor
ida.
Mr. S. Bland Conner, who . was
killed Saturday, graduated" from
I Wofford College last year, and stands
Sigh ;.with, the faculty \ and student
? body of i:hat institution. He was a
most excellent young man, and his
' sad death is deplored by a host of
Iriends, who esteemed him highly for
his many' noble, traits of character.
It was largely through his own ef
forts that he was enabled to go
-through and graduate from Wofford
?Colleger. ? ? ???
Sis death is a aad.icruffafng Brow
to his devoted mother, who, left a
widow when her children wisre young,
'struggledl . and raised them'to honor
able manhood and womanhood, and
now the last of her two itobleyboya
is taken from her just as he Is en
tering upon an hororable and useful,
career. Mrs. Conner has the sympa
thy of all her friends in the -great
sorrow that has come to her by the
death of her noble boy.
A Friend's Tribute,
The following was sent to The
"Times and Democrat by a well-known
ladjj of this county: -

trying, to step from a moving train
was the son. of Olin F.,. Conner, who
Is pleasantly remembered,;by,:8CoreB
of friends in this county! and' the
grandson of the late, lamented David
L. Conner. Bland was a m?>del young
man. He graduated at ".Woffqrd Col
lege last June and many hearts are
saddened at his untimely end. He
was the only, son of a widowed moth
er. His brother Olln died just as he
reached manhood. His father was
killed some years ago by the acci
dental discharge of a friend's gun.

CRUSHED BY A WAGON.
Young Student Meets With a Serious
Accident.
Master Calhonn Wolfe, son of Dr.
W. W.'Wolfe, of Fort"Motte, a stu
dent of the Orangeburg College in this
city, .met. with a painful as well as
seriouB accident ? late Friday after
noon,by-being run over .by a wagon
loaded with guano, and having: his
left arm and his left hip badly crush
ed by the wheel which passed over
them.,. ...
It seems that young Wolfe, who Is
about twelve years of age, had been
iavited/by another student to go to
his home a. few miles from .the city
to spend Saturday and Sunday with
him. They started out Friday after
noon in a wagon. When they reached
the end.of their journey young Wolfe
jumped out of the wagon before it
stopped, and was hurt as above de
scribed.
The: family he went Jo" visit gave
him such attention as they could,, and
then sent him hack to this ..city,
where he was givea medical atten
tion. It was found that the lad was
seriously, if not fatally hurt, and it
was resolved to send him to Dr.
Kn?wlton'8 infirmary, where he now
Is. We hope he will soon be all right
again. 'The young lad had gone on
the visit with the full consent of his
father.

Woman and Girl Burned.
A colored woman and girl were
burned up in a house on the place
?of Mr. W. L. DeHay on Thursday
night. It is thought that _the wo
man and girl were murdered and
the house burned down over them to;
conceal the crime. Sheriff Salley
went down to investigate but could
learn nothing o? the guilty parties,
if such there be. He carried the
blood hounds, but they failed to take
the trail. The house may have been
accidentally burned and the women
suffocated while asleep.

BOLL WEEVIL PLOT
WHAT IS SAU) LN NEW YORK BY
.COTTON MEN ABOUT IT.
A Similar Diabolical Scheme Said to
Have Been on Foot Some Seven
Years Ago.
What one desperate man might do
to a Southern cotton State with a
single pickle jar full of boll weevils
was the subject recently of specula
tive Interest among several cotton
operators in New York and produced
marked divergence of opinion, says
the New York Sun. The debate waB
aroused by the report, printed in a
despatch from Atlanta, Ga., that
Governor-Elect Hoke Smith had re
ceived definite warning of a plot to
scatter boll weevils all over the State
of Georgia and into South Carolina
to the ruin of the cotton 'crops of
those two commonwealths.
One operator, who says he is not
in the market now, related that in
1904 he had received an anonymous
letter from a city in the south say
ing that a certain disreputable char-,
acter had collected several salt sacks
full of boll weevils and that he in
tended to pass over all^the railroad
lines of the State of Georgia scatter
ing the: bugs out of the car window.
This he considered alarming intelli
gence perhaps because he was a bear
then. At any rate he got right on a
Washington train and hurried to the
office of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson.
When Wilson had heard the story
of the plot he lost no time commun
icating with Chief Wilkie of the se
cret service and the sleuths were un
leashed. The cotton operator who
had received the anonymous letter
answered It and learned the name
and address of the man who knew
of the plan to ruin the State of Geor
gia. He tried to arrange a meeting
with his Informant, the Informant
was agreeable.
Secret service men were stationed
all about the trysting place and the
cotton man went to keep the appoint
ment. ''But the secret betrayer of
the plot did not show up. Neither
did the transplanted. boll weevils
and that was the end of it, except
that Secretary Wilson managed to
have a law passed through congress
making It a felony wilfully to trans
port harmful parasites from an af
fected district to one unaffected.
? 'The report from Atlanta says
that it was a' New York man who
tipped off Hoke'Smith on the details
of the plot," said this operator.
"Well, I believe that part of it. It
was a New York man, or a group
of New York men who And them
selves long on cotton and would like
to see the impression gain ground
that we're In for a very short crop
next year. Let me add that the boll
weevil pest is constantly on the de
crease." ?
A'group of cotton operators were
found chatting together in the lobby
of a hotel. All had read the des
patch from Atlanta, aoout Governor
Elect Hoke Smith's discovery of a
plot. "Now I have no opinion as to
whether this story from Georgia is
true or not," one of them said. "I
am not competent to pass upon that.
I am only able to say that I am sur
prised that the trick has not been
tried already. Why should a man
do it? Well, let me ask you. Why
does a man commit murder? For
revenge or profit? There's your
answer.
"A man who would plant boll wee
vils In a territory free of them
would murder his own mother. And
yet how easily it could be I done.
Take a desperate man or a man witn
no conscience; let him pick a pickle
jar full of male and female weevils
down in Louisiana, say; then he gets
on a train and rides into Georgia.
All he has to do Is to open a window
In the car when nobody is looking
and chuck the jar of weevils out.
Why, he wouldn't have to uncork it>
even. ,
"If a fellow had a million bugs,
as the report from Atlanta has It,
he could just carry them in a valise
and chuck them out the window by
handfulls as the train went along.
One pickle jar of weevils would mean
1,000. next year and 1,000,000 two
years from now. "Do you think that
a man who was long on cotton might
be tempted to do a think like that?"
was the question that was asked.
"Sure, if he was skunk enough.
Anybody who wanted to see a short
age of the crop might he led to do
the work, but I'd hate to think oi
what would happen to him if they
caught him at it down there." This
informant was told what t'ae op
erator first quoted had said about
the boll weevil being on the decrease.
He snorted disdainfully.
"I guess he doesn't read the gov
ernment reports. Why, the reports
say that now the boll weevil covers
100 per cent of all the territory in
Louisiana, 25 per cent in Mississippi,
75 per cent In Texas and 30 per cent
In Oklahoma and Arkansas as well
as having spread to nine conties in
Alabama. You see he's worse west
of the river. Suppose some ruined
cotton producer west of the river
wanted to see things equalled up on
the east side; he might think of do
ing this trick.
"What's worse for the Atlantic
States, tho weevil can be fought in
Texas, for there's no timber there
and he can't stand the hot weather
anyway. But the minute you begin
to burn for the boll weevil in Louis
iana he takes to the timber and you
can't get him.
"Oh, I tell you It would be a sad
thing if anybody really had It
framed up to do what Gov. Smith
says he knows is framed up. And I
have no reason to believe that Hoke
Smith would give currency to a re
port unless he knew it was true." *

DENMARK HAS A BLAZE.
Four Dwellings and as Many Out
houses Are Burned.
About 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon
fire was discovered fiercely burning
in the upper story of the Griffith res
idence, located on Beech avenue in
i Denmark. From this building the
! fames spread r?pidly north and south
I until the entire block, consisting of
four dwellings and many outhouses,
were consumed. In one hour and ten
minutes $9,000 worth of property
was in ashes, with insurance of only
$4,000.
The two dwellings on the east side
of the block were owned by J. T.
Griffith of Denmark and- were valued
at $5,000. . The insurance was $1,
500. West of the Griffith property
and in close proximity was the resi
dence of Dr. J. S. Matthews, valued
at $2,500; insurance $1,500. The
last building on the we3t side of the
block belonged to Miss Don Emma
Rice, valued at $1,500; insurance
$1,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The large art glass windows of the
Methodist church were cracked and
warped by the intense heat. Two
of the buildings could .have been
saved if the town had had even a
small water supply or a partially
trained bucket brigade. j'

News From Cope. ,
Cope, Feb. 17.?Special.?A few
days ago your correspondent was
driven over the greater part of the
new road that leads from Cope in
a northernly and almost direct line
until it strikes the Holman bridge
road. The consensus of opinion is
that Mr. Manuel Hungerpiller. with
his efficient force, chain gang No.
2, has done as fine a piece of work
as could be done by anybody under
like circumstances.. Cope never had
a public road leading directly into
same until now, and as the section
this road traverses is thickly settled,
and good farming lands, those who
have been using the old crooked
road, full of washes and" gullies, will
be greatly ben efitted thereby, as they
now, not only have a good road, hut.
the distance from any point has been
lessened about thirty-three per cent.
The gang not only built the new
road, bu'c did some necessary work
on the Branchville and Bamberg
roads, to the south of us, until the
time allotted tc this section expired.
Fertilisers have at last begun to
move towards the farms. Last year
up to this time, two or three timos

and it seems from the manner in
which it is being bought and hauled
out that there will be a big curtail
ment this season.
The farmers generally have taken
advantage of the fine weather since
the first of the year and have their
lands in fine shape.
The small pox patients have all
