Chairman Evans ami Captain Lynch
Make an Investigation, and to all
Appearance an Iron Bolt was De
liberately Placed on the Track—
Report of the Chairman.
It looks very like the wrecking
of the Coast Line train was a
devil’s deed. Yesterday Captain
G. G. Lynch and Railroad Com
missioner Evans visited the scene
and what they found is set forth
in the following report:
Columbia, July 27, 1898.
To the Board'of Railroad Commis-
sionerR:
At the request of the board, I
proceeded at 11 o’clock this morning
to the scene of the wreck on the At
lantic Coast Line railroad, which
occurred yesterday on the Wilming
ton, Columbia and Augusta divis
ion, five miles from Columbia.
I found the entire train, consist
ing of engine, mail, express and
baggage, second and first-class cars,
down the embankment, turned bot
tom side up: the engine was at right
angles to the track and completely
wrecked. The baggage, express
and second class cars had passed
over and beyond the engine, the
regr of the second-class car resting
on the overturned engine. There
-were 4G*pdd passengers on this
train, all’pf whom miraculously es
caped serious injury. This was
'in a large measure to the
' >wellba8t
lass material and conse-
withstood the shock of the
>nt serious damage,
rengine rode the ties for
)t before it went down the
ikment. This was caused
great momentum of the
augmented by the down
sde at this point.
I found an indentation in the
il*on the left side of the track,
ridently made by some hard sub-
ince, and about six feet further
rward found a groove cut length-
ae the rail, where the flange of
ke wheel struck it; 50 feet furth-
on I found where some hard sub
ice, having imbedded its end
the crosstie, tore out. A search
is made and about 20 feet from
lis point, out in the bushes, a
irokeu piece of an inch bolt about
inches long, with two large nuts
screwed on one end, was found.
W. D. Evans,
Chairman.

The ChiincH.
The chimes, the chimes!
Listen to the merry chimes
Proclaim the merits of The Times—
The Daily Times.
How merrily they ring
How their echoes sweetly sing,
Responsive to the chimes,
A song of The Times—
The Daily Times.
How sweetly o’er hill and dale
They sound the joyful, truthful tale,
In softest, sweetest metric rhymes,
The prestige ol The Times—
The Daily Times.
In tones of music they relate—
That everywhere we “circulate,”
And everywhere we captivate;
No one fails to take The Times—
The Daily Times.
The chimes, divine, they ne’er mislead,
Rut sing to all who are in need
Of tasty work : “No longer heed
The voice of any save The Times—
The Daily Times.”
The leading newspaper of Cara

hesitate to declare that our opin

are on the side of Spain.” And
Venezuela is the country in whose

Britain not long ago ! There ap

there are three warehouses in Flor-

To-day etch one of these ware
houses was thrown open for busi

was had, |
Everything was propitious ex
cept the waathor. It has not been
for two oe three daya, and is not
to-day, favorable for marketing
tobacco. Too much raiu and
dampness. Notwitbatanding that,
the warehousemen are satisfied
with what the day has-brought
forth.

sold remarkably well, and some of
tbe better grades brought as much

Persons troubled with diarroea

of Mr. W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel
Dorrance, providence, R. I. He
says: “For severall years I have
been almost constant suffer from
diarhroea, the frequent attacks
completely prostrating me ajd
rendering me unfit for my duties
at this hotel. About two years
a traveling salesman dindly gave
me a small bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Colera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Muoh to my surprise
and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenverlfelt symptoms
of the disease I would fortyfy my
self against tbe attack with a few
doses of this valuable remedy,
remedy. The result has has been
been very satisfactory and almost
complete relief from the afflicton.”

Uobbed tbe Grave.
A startling incident, of which
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows: “I was in a most
dreadful condition. My skin was
almost yellow, even sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. For
tunately, a friend advised trying
“Electric Bitters;” and to my
gieat joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for
three weeks, and am now a well
man I know they saved my life,
and robbed the < grave of another
victim,” No one should fail to try
them. Only 50 cents per bottle at

by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was a

and that no medicine could cure
her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption; she bought a bottlw

benefitted from first dose. She
continued its use and after taking
six bottles, found herself sound
