THE FORT ]
Drunken Negro Killed by Train.
A negro named Ben Davis, an
employe of Sam Barron of
Ebenezer, was killed Saturday
night at the 101-mile pest, just
above the city, by train No. 36.
Engineer Lee was in charge of,
the engine and he saw an object
lying by the track with one end
on the rail but could not. of
course, distinguish it as a human
being. He immediately leversed
his engine and threw on
the emergency brakes but could
not stop his train before it hit
the object. After stopping the
train the crew found fhe above
named negro, the pilot of engine
having struck him on the head,
killing him.?Rock Hill Record.
The printing press has made
presidents, killed poets, made
bustles for beauties and punished
genius with criticism. It
has curtailed the power of kings,
converted bankers into paupers,
and graced pantry shelves. It
has made paupers college presidents;
it has educated the poor
and robbed the philosopher of
his reason; it smilc-s, cries, dies,
but it can't be run to suit everybody,
and the man will be crazy
who tries. ? Gaffney Ledger.
