tiibuted to the stopping of Souther!',
passenger train No. HTy Columbia to
Yorkvllle, at a road crossing below
Kershaw Saturday night and by the
quick stop the destruction of an auto
mobile oh the track was prevented.
Two men in the automobile wore run
ning down the iuthlle road almost par
allel with the. tra<-k and as they turn
ed on to the crossing, which was Ip
a out, thc.v wore confronted with a
mule. The passage was narrow and
H was either run into ihe mule and
possibly kill It and Its rliler and i>or
haps themselves or run Into the ditch.
The ear driver chose the latter alter
native and the car slewed around on
to the track and stopped. After the
mule was out of danger and the car
occupants found themselves unhurt,
efforts to move the car wcrO unavail
ing because of a hadly bent rear axle.
The train was almost due and one of
the car occupants rushed down the!
track to llag the train. The headlight
brought the man and the car into view
at about the same time. Engineer
Plerson put on the emergency brakes
and applied the sand blast to the
wheels to help the brakes to hold and
the engine came to a stop within ten
feet of the damaged automobile. The
car was moved from the track with
the assistance of the train crew and
No. 117 passed ojj^ Its way with the
profuse thanks of the unfortunate au
tomobl lists.?- Yorkvllle Enquirer.
WORLD EVENTS.
Signs are not wanting that there
soon will take place In the United
States Congress sharp debate on the
lH)sltlon of the United States as a re
sult of the .Euroj>ean war. Already
In the Senate there has been some de
bate concerning American neutrality,
shipment of munitions of war and tra
vel by American citizens 011 ships of
belligerent Nations, showing divergent
views by various Senators which the
presiding officer j>ermitted "by way of
feeling out and getting an Index to
the Senate."
In the hands of the foreign rela
tions committee of the Senate now
rest data sent it by Secretary of State
Lansing concerning (Jreat Britain's
holding up of neutral commerce and the
negotiations with Germany concerning
that country's .submarine warfare.
What Is known officially concerning
the sinking of the steamer Persia is
also said to have been banded over
%
to the committee.
Desiring to maintain Its policy of
non-intervention in controversies be
tween the belligerents the United
States, it is stated, has decided not to
adopt the suggestion of Sir Edward
Grey, the British Foreign Secretary,
that American naval officers investi
gate the charges that British marines
oftlie patrol-boat Baralong killed mem
bers of the crew of a German sub
marine which the Baralong sank.

service. Ireland Is excluded from the
operation of the bill.
The fighting between tjte Russians
and Austro-Hungarians in the region
of Csser n owl tss, Bukowina and north
ward. at various points In Gallcla and
Russia, continues the most sanguinary
of any 011 the various war fronts. The
results of these battles are still ob
scured by contradictory reports from
the Vienna and Petrograd war chan
cellories, each of which claims suc
cesses for its resj?ectlve army.
~ No Important events have taken place
011 the western line In France.' The
rephlse by the French of a German
attack In the region of Tahure. On
the Austro-Itallan line a return of
clear weather has brought about a re
newal of the bombardments along t fie
I son 710 front.
Jn Central Africa a British naval
ex]>edltion on Lake Tanganyika has
brought* alKHit -the surrender of the
Ceg^juiii armed rsteamer Kingani, all
the 'officers of which were killed.
An appropriation of $50,000 or $00,
000 will be umed by W. W. Moor?, ad

be used for the inn In ten an re of the
