"Fe-or! Fe-or! Der pindar machine dn fe-or." This is what jolly Joe said when he discovered gasoline leaking from the peanut roaster in front of Nun mer's fruit store after striking a match to see if the leaking liquid would burn. The flames leaped high above the roas ter and as the destruction of Tanuses' roaster gleaned upon Joe, and the prob ability of having to pay for his careless ness. "'fe-or, fe-or," came from him lus tily 'and excitedly. After very much throwing up of dirt with his feet and hands, he looked back and gleefully re alized the "fe-or" out, then he went into the store and gave a very lucid explanation in his native tongue, which was as follows: "De penut fe-or .rob jaberaba bellafirebytamputemoultquick. burnafingermachinehothkhell." The lecture of Rev. J. W. Daniel, D. D., of Charleston last Monday evening at Institute hall was not as well at tended as the benevolent cause he was laboring for deserved, and as his inge niously woven wit, wisdom, mirth, pa thos and oratorical eloquence merited. The subject was "The Southern Mule," and how he was to make such a title apply to something of intellectual value was "mystifying to the ordinary mind. but Dr. Daniel did it. He portrayed in the choicest of English the accom plishment of this useful animal and in doing so artistically painted word pic tures of this country's past, present and future civilization. The speaker would facetiously prepare the mind for an abstract question and then with an elo quence such as few platform speakers possess weave a mass of historical pro ress, and hold his audience spellbound as he opened up to its gaze what ex pansion of brain and brawn has accom plished. A number of his mirth-pro voking sayings \vere pointed with wvise applications, and his manner of depict ing the mulishness of man was pathetic. The lecture was very entertainig. The speaker has the faculty, of dig ging up dry facts, and converting them into bubbling oratory, bristling with beautiful figures, placing them be'fore the mind's eye in a marner that great lessons may be learned therefrom. We hope Dr. Daniel will be innvted here again, as we regard him and John Tem ple Graves, and one reminds us of the other,as being the best platform speak ers we have yet listened at. The people in the Oak Grove section are somewhat irritated with Coroner Brewer and charge him with incompe tency for being led by an irresponsible party to lacerate the feelings of a par ent and the grandparents of an infant by having the body exhumed and made the subject for spite. The two-weeks old infant of Mr. Leroy Drose died -shortly after its mother, and was buried Sat Oak Grove church. It seems that Jim Barfield, whose wife is connected with the infant's mother in some way, went to Coroner Brewer and demanded that an inquest be held, as the child's death was suspicious. The coroner em panelled a jury on last Sunday week, and among the jurors was Barfield, the man making the complaint, and a man by the name of Dennis, son-in-law of the coroner, who joined Barfield in the demand for the inquest. The little body was taken up and a post mortem .examination held by Dr. Geiger, and nothing but a natural cause for death was discovered. Mr. J. C. Drose, a grand-parent. is highly incensed over the matter and my.s he will present facts to the grand jury. Drose will ask the grand jury to recommend Brewver's dismisal on the ground that he is im competent to .lischarge the duties of the office, as is shown by his acting on the demand of parties altogether irre sponsible, and in placing upon the panel of jurors to investigate, men who were so much interested as to, be peti tioners for the inquest. If it is true that Barfield and Dennis petitioned for the inquest Coroner Brewer should not ave permitted them to serve on the jury, but if the information brought to im convinced hini there was reasona ble ground for suspicion as to the child's death, it was his duty to inves tigate, but he could have done this without mortifying the kindred and friends, had he the propar judgment equired of an official. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Fly Wheer Bursts at Lukens Lumber Mill Mr. John F. Laughery Killed. As a result of the injuries received in the accident at the saw mill of the Lukens Lumber Co.. yesterday after noon, Mr. John F. Laughery died at Dr. Mood's Infirmary at 9:20 o'clock last night. He was removed to the In firmary immediately after the accident and etorts were made to give him re lief, but he aid not regain conscious ness, even momentarily. The accident occurred at the saw mill where the ordirary work was go ing on as usual. The regular hands were at their usual posts. the machin ery was working as well as usual and there had been not the least intimation that there was anything wrong. Mr. Laughery, who was general manager of the business and whose duties sel dom carried him to the saw shed, had just stepped into the shed with a friend. Mr. Flippin, who he was showing over the plant. They were standing close together beside the engine, and about opposite the big ten foot fly-wheel, which was on the other side of the engine. When they had been standing there about a few moments watching the saw mill in operation, the governor of the engine suddenly refused to act, the engine's speed increased so terrifically that the big fly wheel. weighing about six thousand pounds, burst into fragments and the pieces were hurled forward and upwards with the force of cannon balls. The roof of the mill, just above the wheel, had a great hole torn in it and some of the pieces of the wheel that passed through the roof were picked up more than a .bundred yards from the mill. Most of the fragments of the wheel were projected upwards or in a straight line forward from the wheel, but one small piece, about five inches square, was thrown sidewise and striking Mr. Laughery on the right side of the face and forehead with ter rible force, crushed the cheek bone and skull, the bones being forced into the brain. -He fell instantly, Mr. Flip pin, who was standing' beside him, catching him as he fell. No one else was hit by the flying fragments and it seems wonderful that all escaped where such ruin was wrought It is said that Mr. Laughery realized 1 what was wrong with the engine in stantly and made a movement toward it to shut oil the steam but was struck down before he had time to do so. Mr. Charles Joyner, the sawyer, also real ized the danger and ran to the engine and shut off the steam, but the wheel burst while he was in the act of stop ping it, and his presence of mind and bravery in the face of such nerve par alzing danger was unavailing to pre vent the disaster and its terrible re sult. 1t was over so quickly that there was scarcely time for a thought and the danger had passed before most of the hands realized their peril. Mr. Laughery was removed to the office of the company and doctors sum moned by telephone. After he had been examined by Drs. Cheyne, Stuck ey and Archie China, who declared his injuries to be mortal. he was taken. to Dr. Mood's infirmary and the wound dressed, and he was made as comforta ble as possible. But there was no hope from the first and the end came at 9:20 )'cl-ck. Mr. Laughery was a native of Penn ;ylvania, but came to Sumter about sighteen years ago and was from hat time identified with the lumber business which he has successfully nanaged for a number of years. He C teaves a wife, who was with him at the ! end, but no children. He was an en- ' thusiastic secret society man, a member !i f Claremont Lodge, A. F. M.. and C Beulah Chapter, R. A. M., of this city, ~ i Knights Templar and a Shriner, as vell as a member of other orders. Tbe funeral services will be held at ~ ls late residence at 5 o'clock tomorrow t fternoon, and his body will be carried a to Ligonier, Pa., on the train leavingr it 6:15 p. m. for interment. Claremont Lodge, No. 64, A. F.
