The train for Columbia was soon

of the officer to carry his man b>

Miller heard the posse coming on
horseback and he at once secreted
the negro until a buggy could be

Story of the Crime.
Monday between 12 and 1 o'clock,
the negro was seen to walk quietly
by the home of the woman, but no
attention was paid to this at the
time. As soon as the husband of
the woman had gone to the field
to plough, the negro returned and
made his way into the yard, where
the woman was banging up clothes.
He made a most vicious attack,
knocking the woman down by a severe
blow with his fist. He grabbed
her around the throat, and choked
her down, tho finger nails of the
brute brlngiug the blood frotn her
neck. With almost superhuman effort
the woman cried aloud to her
husband, and the negro left before
accomplishing his fiendish purpose.
To the oWcers Lever has confessed,
laying the blame to what he calls
a "Hoot Iloctor." He says that he
owed the doctor a bill, and being
unable to pay it, the doctor told
him that he would cause him to get
in trouble. He says that he was
"conjured," and could not help It.
Lever is of a light gingercake color.
and Is under 3 0. He has been
working for different people in the
community, last for Mr. Chas. P.
Robinson, of Chapln, where he turned
up later.

A GREAT EVENT !j
' \
FOB THE CITY OF SPARTANBURG
AND SOUTH CAROLINA. '
The Celebration of the Opening of
Traffic of the Carolina, Clinchfleld J
and Ohio Railway.
Last Friday was a great day for
the city of Spartanburg and the
Stato of South Carolina, when that
city celebrated the opening to traffic
of the Carolina, Clinchfleld and Ohio
Railway. The railway had just been
completed to Spartanburg, and that
progressive city celebrated the event
in keeping with its importance and
aer own dignity as one of the great
rade centers of South Carolina and
the South. People from all over the
State had gathered in Spartanburg
to rejoice with her at the consutna.ion
of one of the greatest events
in her history, and partake of her
generous hospitality.
The great event of the occasion
transpired on Friday, but the uight
before a protracted demonstration
was given that the road was completed
by the arrival of a train
from Johnson City, Tenn., and other
joints, loaded with guests from Tennessee,
Virginia and North Carolina,
including the officials of the new rall.vay.
This train reached Spartauburg
between eight and nine o'clock
Thursday night and was greeted by
thousands of people who had lined
he track to welcome it to Spartanjurg.
The train, as it Blowly passed
to the'.Union Station, gave one long,
ontinuotis whistle, which wa.inswered
by the cheers of tji*'
tembiei thousands.
Friday morning everybody, ot
lenrly everybody, went ont to the
-'air Grounds, where a first-class fair
.vas in operation, and where the arrival
of that train was to be ccle>rated
In a style befitting its great
.mportance to Spartanburg and the
est of the State. The weather was
deal, and everything else seemed
>.0 be greased for the occasion, so
smoothly did everything pass off
The crowd numbered many thousands,
and every one seemed to be
tappy and entered into the celobraion
of the occasion with vim and
enthusiasm.
Spartanburg was happy, and so
were all who had gone there to reloiee
with her on the great occasion.
A little after eleven o'clock th?
neeting waH called to order by Dr.
T. N. Snyder, President of Wofford
'ollege. who presided with his UBual
;race and ease. He introduced th?
speakers who were to make address's.
As a preliminary, Dr. Snydei
>aid a glowing tribute to President
leorge F,. Carter, of the Carolina
^linchfleld aud Ohio railroad, who.
le said, had made the celebration
possible. He declared that the link
ng of the rails would bring iutt
loser relation, not only commercially,
but industrially, the people of th<
Bast and the West, so long harrl-aded
against each other by what
leomed to be an insurmountable
ango of mountains.
Judge A. A. I'hiegar, vice presilent
of the new railroad, was the
irst speaker upon the program, hisaddress
being delivered externporan ously.
He declared that a brighter
sun never shown than that which
speeded the departing trains from
lohnson City, and that a warmer
.velcome never greeted a party of
travelers than that which they
had found in the city of Spartanburg,
as the trnin pulled into the
I station Thursday evening.
Judge 1'hlegar declared that the
welding of the rails binding many
States together, not only cemented
commercial and industrial interests
of many States, but were love-ties
betwwn the various sections of the
country. And he prayed that these
love-ties might be everlasting. Judge
1'hlegar touched upon the great cotton
mills of this section, giving
statistics.
Admitting that the railroads were
often in the wrong, Judge I'hlegar
pointed to the fact that sometimes
the public, too, being human, was
at fa tilt, and lie asked of the people
a square deal for the C., C. & O.
railroad and promised the same in
behalf of tilt- road. PhefT-s ?*? * It"'
air in response to this utterance.
Mayor Rhett, of Charlestou. and
other speakers, were introduced, who
made appropriate addresses. Then ]
came the barbecue, in which about j
twelve hundred guests participated. <
It was one of the best managed and <
conducted affairs of the kind that ,
we have any knowledge of. The }
barbecue ended the celebration, and (
after it was over the large crowd |
that enjoyed it dispersed. The whole *
celebration was happily conceived c
and carried out without a hitch. t

Mr. Phillips thinking that all had f

in n.. Bfcona streel,
Dayton. O., August 26. 1J?08.
My wife was taken sick about six
week3 ago. Our physicians said her
lungs were affected, and advised us
to take her to Colorado.
She grew worse very rapidly, so
August 7th two noted specialists examined
her carefully. They pronounced
her case quick consumption and
told me positively that she could
not live longer than ten days. Dr
M? said her body was just a mass
of tubercles; that there was not a
single square inch that did not have
thousands of thorn. She had temperature
of 104, no appetite, night
sweats, chills and was delirious.
August 8th she started taking Nature's
Creation and responded, as if
by magic. Her appetite is extra
good, sleeps sound, no more chills or
night sweats, temperature and pulse
normal. She is gaining strength
very rapidly, and will no doubt soon
be her old self.
Very truly, I
E. L. Hughes.

A Suggestion That tho
llcnif(l.r tho Kvll.
"S. W. T." calls attention through
tho columns of The News and Courier
to the parlor rifle nuisance. lie
says:
"I saw in Saturday's paper that
a twelve-year-old hoy was shot by
a fourteen-year-old lnd near Winns:
boro at a distance of 400 yards. Now
who is to blame for this accident,
as it will be called an accident?
While I claim it was no accident,
as anyone will agree who knows ]
anything about a 22-calibro rifle, that
'.t will do damage at 800 yards if It I
should be fired at an elevation and I
the bullet should hit anyone. Why
will parents allow their hoys to have
those little rifles? It seems to me
that the parents of- boys should he
held responsible for accidents of this
kind.
"The parlor rifle nuisance in growing.
Every hardware store showwindow
has them displayed to tempt
the boys to buy the.a. \s then
very nine game to snoot with them, \
I can't see wtiy parents will a'.lcw
their boys to have then:. Mo.-t ;.ar'ontR
thLnk them toys, nn'l when
j harm In done to an Innocen* person
400 yards away they wi.i say
| 'accident.' A shotgun wi*h Kmall
shot would not do much damage at
150 yards, and if the hoys would
shoot shotsunn they could see anyone
at that distance and would not
shoot them. But It is different with
the rifle, as it is liable to kill some
one out of sight of them when they
shoot small birds on fences and
hushes the right height to give the
right elevation. I hope the next Legislature
will take up this nuisance
and see If there can't he some law
passed to remedy the evil."
Men cannot gain succ ss hy waiting
for it to come to them. They
must he up and doing, overcome difficulties,
peek opportunities and he
undismayed by passing failure. That
others have done others can do.
