GOOD ROADS TRAIN COWING
To Bo Opornto?l By tlio Atlantic
Coast Lino.
As previously announced the Atlantic
Coast Line will operate a
Good Roads Train over i ts entire
system.
This train will consist of two
coaches, one of which will contain
models operated by electricity,
of road working machinery of various
characters, and forms of various
kinds of good roads. These will
be displayed in an attractive way
and open to the public. The other
coach will be equipped ior lectures
and steroptieon views. A private
car will accompany the train for
accommodation of the lecturers.
Two Government Road Kngineers,
and a Representative of the American
Association for Highway improvement,
will accompany the
train, as will, also, a representative
of the Atlantic Coast Line.
The Atlantic Coast Line will handle
this train without charge to the
Government or the people, and all
demonstrations and lectures will be
free. The lectures and exhibits
should prove interesting and in
cm utu?e to an who are interested
in the building and maintenance
of good roads.
The experts will be glad to
answer questions and confer with
all interested parties. The working
models will be shown in actual operation,
the motive power be itig
furnished by a gasoline engine installed
for the purpose, and, with
these, the experts are enabled to
explain what materials make the
best roads, how they are made and
repaired at the smallest necessary
cost.
This train will be on the Atlantic
Coast Line from November 24
to February 22, and will make two
or three stops each working day.
The Atlantic Coast Line invites the
hearty co-operation of all interested
, citizens and are very much in
hopes that good crowds will meet
this train at each stop.

ESCAPES WITH WRONG TWIN.
Planned to Wed Mary, But T<>ok
Sister Betty by Mistake.
Capt. Henry R. Edwards, of the
schooner May H., eloped from
Kent Island Monday night with
Miss Betty Harrison, daughter of
G. F. Harrison, a farmer who lives
near Auapolis, Ind.
Edwards spent his vacation last
summer at a house near that of
the Harrisons, who had twin daughters.
People living on the island
have often mistaken one of them
for the other and that was what
Edwards did when he landed Monday
night. He landed from the
schooner intending to elope with
Mary Harrison. He met Betty first,
and thinking she was Mary hurried
her off to a parson and then aboard
a schooner.
The schooner is somewhere in
Chesapeake Bay, with Edwards and
his wife aboard, headed for Baltimore,
while Mary is mourning the
fate that leaves her a single woman.
It was reported last summer
that Betty was jealous of the attention
paid her sister by Edwards,
and it is believed she learned Edwards
was going to marry Mary,
and decided the best way to stop
it was to marry him herself.
ESCAPED NEGRO CONVICT SHOT
Florence Deputy Shoots Negro
Whom He In Attempting to Arrest.
Florence, November 19.?Special:
John Williams, a negro convict, who
escaped from the Darlington county
chain gang, was shot and probably
fatally wounded by Mr. John Worrell,
of Evergreen, who was assisting
Rural Policeman Zehe in making
the arrest. The shooting took
place near Evergreen Friday afternoon.
It is stated that Zehe and
Worrell were attempting to arrest
Williams and that Williams, who
was afterward found to have a pistol,
attempted to draw his gun on
Mr. Worrell when Worrell got the
drop on him and brought him to.
At last accounts Williams was
still alive, but it is doubtful if he
will recover. Williams is a bad
negro with an unsavory reputation.
If he survives his wound he will
be carried to Darlington to complete
his job with the county.
Friends of Major R. L. Carmichael,
of the United States Army,
who is now located at New Orleans,
will be interested to learn that he
has been ordered to the Philippine
Islands, and will shortly sail for
that distant country. ? Rowland

' Railroad l>ciil Said to In* Pending
Would l?o of Ini|x>rtuiice to This
Section.
Charlotte, N. Nov. 22. ? The
preliminary steps for what is bei
lieved will be another important
I railroad deal, which will result in
|a direct line from Kaleigli to
'Charleston, in addition to other
developments, are in progrses at
I Raleigh, in that Capt. J. M. Turnjer,
gneeral manager of the Georg|
ia and Florida Railroad, is there
'as received for the Raleigh and
Charleston Railroad. Marion, S. C..
'to Lumberton. N. C., preparing his
' f'nal papers for the discharge of
the receivership by Judge 11. G.
Conner, in the Federal Court. , i
The affairs of the receivership
have been practically closed for a
long while, but no discharge of the
receiver has been made and it is
stated on good authority that trans- ;
fer of the road to one or another
of the larger systems of the State
is impending either the Atlantic
i Coast Line of the Norfolk-Southern.
At Lumberton the Raleigh and
Charleston Road connects with the
Virginia and Carolina Southern,
which extends towards Fayetteville
and Hope Mills and has has a
branch to Elizabeth town. Wilton
McLean is president and the road
is credited with being allied with
the Atlantic Coast Line.
It is believed that the deal is to
link up these lines in a direct line
from Raleigh via Fayetteville to
Charleston, and that such a purchase
is in line with the recent purchases
by the Norfolk-Southern of
the Raleigh to Fayetteville and
other roads in the projected Raleigh-Charlotte
line. The belief advanced
in Raleigh is that the
Norfolk-Southern .Atlantic CoastLine
and Norfolk and Western are in a
big co-operation deal, if not a plan
for a merger with the Pennsylvania
Railroad, whereby a gigantic
Southern system for the impending
Panama Canal multiplication of
Southern business will be provided.

A Mixed Drink.
A cafe at Peoria which was
j famous for its Pilsener, was own- j
led by a Bohemian and conducted
I actively by his son and nephew.
The old man seldom had occasion to
go behind the bar, or to deal directly
with the public in other ways.
One day, however, all hands were
out of reach, when a man came
I in to get a drink. To make the 1
' situation acute he ordered a cock- J
tail.
The nronrietor kiipw ?=iwn

everybody came to drink Bohemian.
I beer a eocktail had no place.
First he took a lemonade glass
and put some ice in it. Then he
poured from every bottle behind
i the bar and set the mixture before j
| the customer.
"There," he said, "You have
leverythiug but the license. Drink
it."?Chicago Evening Post.
TEMPTING HAM AND EGGS.
Woman Keeking Dentil Hy Ktarvo/tion
Couldn't Resist Favorite
Diet.
A plate of ham and eggs saved
th'e life of Mrs. Mary Butler, an
aged inmate of the Ionia poor farm,
says an Ionia, Mich., dispatch. She
became despondent and decided to
starve herself to death. Day after
day she steadfastly refused food
and drink. The officials tried diffenent
plans without success, then
then in desperation experimented
with the "ham and eggs" method.
The old woman took a look at
the tempting food and decided to
live a while longer.

All of the gentlemen came to
Scranton this morning to take the ,
Orangeburg train for Florence, and (
while waiting for the arrival of
the train, young Turner went to ,
Mr. R. B. Cannon's stables, a short ,
distance from the depot, to leave :
his horse and buggy, and while at J
the livery stables the extra engine
ran up, going north, and Mr. Tur- ^
ner hearing and thinking it was his
train, ran towards the depot, going 1
diagonally across the main line of '
the Atlantic Coast l^dne in front of ,
the engine. He was struck by the
moving engine when in about one

front of a moving engine on the 1
tracks of the Atlantic Coast Dine
Railroad Company." Physicians
who examined the body stated that
death probably was caused by concussion
of the brain and internal j'

KKKPINC; SWEET POTATOES.
Clemson Expert Tells How it is
Rest Rone.?Don't Rank Twice
In Succession In Same Place.
During the past three years ex-i'
periments looking to the best 1
method of keeping sweet potatoes;
have been carried on at the Experiment
Station here. A careful study :
has been made of the roots of potatoes,
and the conditions under
which these roots thrive. We find
that the majority of the trouble in
keeping sweet potatoes comes from
the presence of disease on the potatoes
when they are brought into
the bank from the field. The black
rot and the stem rot, both of which
are very common throughout the
State, are primarily field diseases.
They attack the underground portions
of the plant while in the field
and cause black and scabby look- :
ing areas on the surface of the
tubers. When these potatoes are
dug and stored in banks or houses
these diseases spread through the
entire lot and cause the potatoes to
rot. The most important thing,
then, in connection with storing potatoes
is to see that you have absolutely
healthy potatoes to begin
with. Where the crop is planted
from vines the potatoes are usu- 1
ally found to be very free front the 1
disease. For this reason it is well
to bank the potatoes grown from (
vines separately from those grown
from slips. This is especially ad- '
visable where you are not sure that
the potatoes grown from slips are
free from disease.
Potatoes whim are free from (lis- i
case usually keep well when bank- :
ed in the ordinary way. Care should :
be exercised to keep the potatoes 1
from becoming chilled at any time; '
The temperature in the bank should '
not be allowed to go below 50 de- '
giees at any time during the win- 1
ter. We find that where potatoes
are once thoroughly chilled, it is <
almost impossible to keep them.
The storage rots, such as the soft *
iud the dry rot both of which fre- 1
[juently occur in stored potatoes, 1
make rapid headway on potatoes
when they are once chilled. Any 1
temperature below 50 degrees willj
Jhill the potatoes sufficiently to
anable these rots to eet n start
Potatoes should never be banked
for two years in succession in the
same bank. The fungi which cause
Lhe diseases in the field and the
nnes which cause the rots in storage
will live over in these old banks
ind will attack the new potatoes
is soon as they are stored. The
same soil and the same straw should
not be used for two years in succession
for covering the banks for
:his same reason. Where potato
nouses are used they should be
:horoughly cleaned out and the
walls and floors sponged and
tprayed with a 3 per cent, solution
>f formaline or a 1 per cent, solution
of blue stone before the po
?i<reii are urougni in. vvnere tnese t
precautions have been followed we t
lave experienced very little diffi- i
mlty in keeping sweet potatoes. | i

TWO BOYS BORNEO IN BED
Horrible* Kate Overtakes \ictim* of
fount I,\ lire*.
A dispatch from Abbeville says
Rreoks Wilson, th?? 14-vear-old son
?f Walter 11. Wilson, a prosperous
aruier of that county, and Joseph
Sherard, the 17-year-old son of the
late Dr. Sherard, of the Lebanon
lection, lost their lives early Tucsiay
morning in a fire which destroyed
the home of Mr. Wilson.
The two young men went to Abbeville
Tuesday night, t < attend the
show in the opera house, and reurned
to Mr. Wilson's after the
show. No one heard them enter
he house on their return, which
must have been about 11? o'clock
\boui two o'clock Tuesday morning
Mr. Wilson awakened to find his
ir^use in i mines. ne mi rely escaped
with liis small children. Tho
fire was burning in tiie hallway of
the bouse and he was unable to
reach the upstairs room of his son.
He tried in every way to awaken
the son from below and when he
was not able to do so, decided that
he must have none home with
young Sherard. A messenger soon
brought the news that this was
not the case.
The house was by this time wholly
consumed. When the fire had
died down enough to ascertain, the
charred remains of the two boys
were found on the bed springs of
the bed, in which they evidently
were sleeping. It is supposed they
must have become suffocated with
the smoke ar.d thereby rendered
unconscious of the danger, and
that they died without knowing of
the terrible blow which the fire
was striking at their loved ones.
Both were manly hoys, with large
numbers of relatives and friends
in their part of the county. Their
untimely and tragic deaths are a
source of great sorrow and bereave
ment to the community.
MAY N'AMK MARION MAX.
Tnft Seriously CoiisidriiiiK I*romotioii
of l>r. Rupert Blue to llciul
of Service.
Washington, Nov. 24. ? It has
just become known that the president
and his advisors in the treasury
department are seriously considering
the promotion of Dr. Rupert
Blue, of the public health and
marine hospital corps to the vacancy
caused by the death of Surgeon
General Walter Wyman. Dr. Blue
probably has the most remarkable
record for special and hazardous
service of any man in the corps.
He was Dr. \Vyman's right-hand
man for ten years and his most
useful assistant in handling the
fatal epidemics which have from
time to time threatened various
American communities.
Just how far the surgeon's
friends have gone to-ward pressing
his claims to the promotion is not
known. It is positively known,
however that Dr. Blue has not inaugurated
any campaign of his own.
He is now in Honolulu trying to
stump out me last traces of yellow
fever, and is giving his whole time
to this work.
Probably the most signal piece of
work yet accomplished by Dr. Itlue
was in San Francisco when he
was sent there with blanket authority
from the government to rid
that city and the Pacifi" coast of
bubonic plague. For three years
Dr. itlue and his assistants struggled
with the situation in Sun Francisco,
exterminating rats, burning
infected housis and destroying evpry
sign of the disease. The result
was Unit the plague was stamped
>ut.
before that time Dr. Blue had
battled with the yellow fever epileiuic
in New Orleans. When typhoid
threatened the United
states troops and sailors stationed
it tiie Jamestown exposition and
endangered visitors to the fair,
lie government picked Dr. Blue to
hike charge of the situation. Not
Mie death from typhoid resulted at
lie exposition.
Dr. Blue is a native of South Car>lina
and a brother of Commander
Victor Blue, U. S. N., now stationid
in Washington, who distinguishid
himself in the Spanish-American
var.
The position is one of the most
esponsible in the federal service.
The House of Morgan.
That J. P. Morgan's grip on the
inancial situation is becoming
nore and more absolute Is indicat'd
by the discovery of the Stanly
ommittee that the cash balance of
he steel trust, which he dominates,
ind of the railroads and other inlustrial
corporations in which he
:ontrols heavy interests, amounting
n all to over a half billion dollars
a on deposit in the office of J. P.
dorgun & Co., a private banking
lonctru, not subject to the supervision
of any constitutional authorty.
This money Morgan can lend
? whom he pleases and refuse to
end to whom he likes. Moreover
he control of this cash gives him
he power to regulate the credits of
his country, which makes this one
nan the financial dictator of Amerca.?Bx.

i held for three seconds, back during
twelve seconds to maximum, held
there for three seconds, then broken
and cut off entirely; thus we
see that sixty odd seconds has been
consumed for preparation, and sixty
odd seconds in carrying out the
orders of the court to inflict the
death penalty.
I have spoken of maximum and
minimum points of the death deluing
current. The electrical mech- .
anism or machine is so arranged
that the current has from ten to
twelve amperage and cannot give
a current of higher voltage than ,
eighteen to twenty-two hundred.
So the maximum referred to above
means, say 2,200 voltage, and the
minimum means 2<?o voltage. Af- '
ter the current is cut off, the heart '
action for a few seconds is tumultu- 1
ous, churning violently. Tliis most '
quickly slows off, and in a few 1
more seconds the subject is pro- '
nouneed dead. He (lied from shock. I

There have been post-mortem 1
f'ndines in which the right side of 1
the heart has been ruptured, o>v
ing to the violent contractions of
the heart muscle, but under out '
Slnti law. ttie surgeon is not pre- '
ill it ted to perform a post-mortem, 1
so ibis paper will not d< al with
any such findings here. t
The temperature of the body is I
enormously elevated after electro- a
cut ion, s( nietiincs reaching 1 1 f? de- ?
degrees. Iligor mortis sets in unusually
early. i
You can see from the above ac- j
count what a swift performance on u
electrocution is, and I can assure
you that it is oi j of the most sol- p
enin, awe-aspiring acts any one can
take part in. I have witnessed
thirty odd during two years atul the
last one was just as fearful in its
solemnity as the first one. I hope I
and believe that the solemn judicial
inflicting of the death penalty in
place of the more or less spectacular
hanging, will have a powerful
deterrent effect on the criminal
classes.
