Coosawhatchle River Near Yemat ee?Unknown
Negro Found Dead
Near Wreck?Cause of Accident
Charleston.?When eight cars loaded
with coal jumped the track and
tumbled over into the Coosawhatchle
River the Atlantic Coast Line trestle
over that stream was damaged to
such an extent that trains between
Charleston and Savannah had to be
detoured by Fairfax, entailing a loss
of time of about two hours in each
case.
The Coosawhatchle trestle, at which
the derailment occurred, is on the
main line of the Atlantic Coast Line,
and considerable derangement of the
schedules of the through trains between
New York and Florida resulted
from the accident. Coosawhatchle
station is between Savannah and
Yemassee and is about sixty-four miles
from Charleston. Special freight No.
391, southbound, carrying about twenty-five
cars, was the train to which

cars of coal which fell over Into the
river being the only damage of consequence
to rolling stock.
No cause for the accident is ascribed
by officers of the Atlantic Coast
Line. An unidentified negro, believed
to have been a trespasser, was found
dead after the accident, but beyond
this no personal injury of any kind
has been reported. In the derailment
the trestle was damaged for a distance
of about 100 feet. Crews were
at once put to work on the structure,
and the road was soon passable for
trains.

Two Barbecues in Lexington.
The candidates for the various counAy
offices had an opportunity a few
,jdays ago of attending two barbecues
?one at Ioor Hayes, near Gilbert; the
other at Pelion on the Perry extension

but the candidates only spoke at

faced each other on the stump. There
are 60 far four aspirants for this office?A.

State Campaign Goes Merrily On.
Interest in the state political campaign
will centre in the meeting in
the near future in Charleston. The
speeches of the candidates for governor
will on that occasion have special
ilmportance. Judge Jones will hardly
overlook the opportunity of directing
public attention to notorious conditions
there, and of which grave
charges have arisen against the governor
of the state, and of which
Charges the governor has not yet undertaken
to clear himself, except by
general denunciation of a committee
,from the general assembly as a "guttersnipe
commission crawling on their
, bellies in the tilth." It is possible also
that Gov. Blease is withholding until
the Charleston meeting whatever he
may have to say.
To Wage Fight on Moaquito.
"Without the existence of standing
water their breeding is impossible."
This statement is the Keynote or an
important bulletin that has been issued

of health on "the mosquito." It is

no introduction to South Carolinians
end that few, if any, have been overlooked
by this cheerful little pest as
ehe goes her rounds.
Offered For T. W. Vaughn.
Rewards aggregating $700 are offered
for the arrest of T. U. Vaughn, who

Dark Corner, or that be bee taken a
train from some nearby town in female
diSfnise. Sheriff fttole has is
sued a circular and sent it broadcast
over the country, giving a description
of Vaughn together with a picture.

A LIVER MEDICINE
THAT BEATS CALOMEL
Dodson's Liver Tone Does the Same
Work as Calomel Without Making
You : frk. It is [Vegetable,
Tastes Good and Sever
Fails.
Everybody who has ever taken calomel
knows what a strong drug it is.
Calomel spurs the tired liver as if it
we e a tired horse, and while the liver
works harder for a little while, it is
soon weaker than ever.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
tonic that gently induces the most
sluggish liver to work. Taking it is
! followed by no bad after-effects. No
' estirictions of habit or diet necessary.
For either children or grown people.
Ladd sells a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for fifty cents and guarantees
it to be a perfect substitute for
calomel and will give you your money
back if it disappoints you.
If you are a housewife you cannot
reasonably hope to be healthy or beau- j
tiful by washing dishes, sweeping and
1 doing housework all day, and crawling
into bed dead tired at night. You
mus get out into the open air and
, sunlight. If you do this every day
and keep your stomach and bowels in
,, j good order by taking Chamberlain's
, ^ Tablets when needed, you should be Jcome
both healthy and beautiful. For
sale by all dealers.

Governcr Blouse At Marlon,
^j^ion.-^ar^^county wfrl^gpq
over Blease two years ago, seemsMo
be the seat of a strenuous effort this
year on the part of the Blease forces,
but representative men here say that
it will be carried easily at the Aug
ust primaries by Judge Jones, in
spite of a profession by the governor
of confidence that be bad made large
gains here recently. Judge Jones certainly
has reason to be pleased with
the attitude toward him of a majority
of the audience, composed of about 1,200
people, which he addressed on the
court house green.
