In a freight wreck near Eafley at midnight on Monday n4ght,, Brake man Gilbert of Atlanta and Fireman Rice, of Spencer, N. C., were killed.

Grad dick, one of the operatives at the Dar lington mill, was burned to death be tween 8 and 9 o'clock Wednesday morning.

Marion Parr, the white man con victed in Columbia on the charge of murder a few days ago, was refused a new trial by Judge McDonald and unless an appeal is made to the su preme court, which is extremely doubtful on account of the lack of money by the defendant, Parr will be sentenced and hanged. Parr, it will be remembered, was tried and.found guilty of the murder of Clarence Shealy, just below Columbia, last fall, and the jury was not out over twenty minutes in the case.

The full charge entered the little boy's side and inflicted a mortal wound. death occurring in a short while. Up and Down With Bishop. Bishop Dudley of Kentucky was much addicted to sport, especially liking to hunt and fish, says the New York Press. Once, when on a shoot ing trip, the bishop chanced to fall in with an old mountaineer, who, ac cording to Representative Ollie James, took a great fancy to his newv acquaintance, whom he did not in the least suspect was a bishop. When Bishop Dudley was preparing for his return home he invited the old man to visit Louisville, so that he might hear him preach. "Preach?" gasped the* old moun taineer. "'What, you preach! Kin you preach as well as you kin shoot?" "Much better," responded the bish op, smilingly. "Be sure to.c'ome some Sunday. I'll see that you get a goqd 'seat in front." The old man availed himself. of the invitation thus extended. At the con clusion of the service he quickly sought out his friend, the bishop. and grasped his hand. "Mr. Bishop," he cried enthusiasti cally. "I don't know much about your creeds and dogmatics, but I riz and rot with you every time!' V The Bold Unknown. Col. Albert A. Pope. says the Cin cinrati Enquirer was talking about a man wvho. at an automobile race, had rejoiced greatly. thiniking his own car had won, when, as a matter of fact, the victor had been another man's car of similar construction. which he had mistaken for his own. "Poor fellow,." said Col. Pope, "he felt. I fancy, like a young friend of mine, who took his pretty wife to the theatre the other night. "After the play was over, and my friend and his pretty bride had got into their carriage, and were on their way home, she leaned toward him af fectianately and said:, "'Dear, you shouldn't have squeez ed my hand while we were coming out of the theatre.' When :1 squeezed back I meant for you to stop.', " 'Me? Why,' stammered the hus band, 'I never tnnehed youe hand?'' KANSAN'S "HOLY BATH." Emporia Man Takes Annual Icy Plunge to Wash His Sins Away. Dennis Reed of Emporia, Kan., who has the queerest religious no tions of any man in the vicinity of Emporia, took his annual "holy bath" in the Cottonwood river the other day, says the Kansas City Star. For years it has been his custom New Year's day to dress himself in an angelic looking white linen garb 'with folds and to parade the entire length of Commercial street to the Cotton wood river. After reciting certain passages of Scripture he breaks the ice and takes a cold plunge. Then he walks back home. Reed says that the Lord has in formed him that in this way his sins are annually washed away. A large crowd of boys, on their way home from Sunday School, saw Reed and followed him to the river to see the religious rite. Reed says he gets messages occa sionally from God. one of which in formed him he will live a thousand years. The Worst to Come. William Jennings Bryan told a story when in this city, says the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, that would seem to indicate the Nebraskan is somewhat worried at the appropria tion by President Roosevelt of some :f the leading doctrines of the demo cratic .party. Mr. Bryan good na tredly suggested that the republican party might leave to the democrats such issues as governmental owner ship, federal regulation of the rail roads and radical tariff revision. " Mr. Roosevelt's recent advanced position in these matters," said the .ebraska man, "reminds me of a s.ory told of an old colored woman regarding her experience with an up to-date physician. Se had been at tended by a colored dector without g:tting relief from -her ailment, -and c2cided to consult a white physician. She was somewhat mystified at the s::ientific movements of the latter. Later she was questioned by a friend regarding the methods of the new doctor. 'Did he take your temeprature?" she was asked. 'Deed I doan kno' sah. ut I spec he: did,' was the reply. 'So far I only k:'ws dat he took my watch.' "So far," continued Mr. Bryan, President Roosevelt has only taken ti.- democratic issues of government a! ownership, federal regulations of rr:es and low tariff, but I suspect the w orst is yet to come."
