Will Short, colored, driving a mule hitched to a wagon, belonging to Lucy Cain, colored, who lives a few miles from Cheraw, had a narrfftv escape Wednesday when No. 1 the fast Florida train struck and killed the mule and demolished the wagon in which he was fading. Will failed to see or hear the approach of the train until it was too late to stop the mule so he jumped from the wagon barely in time to save himself. The engineer, on No. 1 brought the train to a stop in a remarkably short distance, too late however to save the mule and wagon. (Editor Note.)?This is the second uctti senuus ucciueui wiiicn nas uucured at this crossing In about year's time. It will be renumbered that Mr. T. G. Matheson came near being killed there about a year ago. Surely the town has authority to make the Seaboard either run all trains very slowly past this crossing or put in gates. One or the other will certainly be done as soon as some one has given his life to bring it about. I 0?? LOCAL ITEMS Mrs. R. E. Hanna is visiting relatives in Newberry. # Born to Mr. and Mr3. D. L.

After reading the arti- ; cle another farmer, who likes to hunt, brought the editor of this paper several partridges and asked that he . inspect the craws of the birds and < that he would pay 5c a weevil for ] every boll weevil found. ] We must admit that we didn't find j a weevil but after tasting the birds ( later on our table we are not at all ] satisfied that they wont eat weevils j and we would like to inspect other t birds from hunters who would like ( to prove that partridges will not rid i us of the pest.
