Reports of the Invasion of China by
American brewers are being received

to The Far Eastern Republic mission
aries write that Americans are plan

Missionary schools, they complain,
are being disturbed by parades ar

their arrival. One missionary writes:
"I had to disband my girls' school
the other day because o^one of the
parades. Machinery wnlch had Just

(Aeeler Moudiy.
The expected happened. yesterday
evening about eight o'clock when a
Htudebaker automobile; containing aix
negroes, plunged over tho ein bauik men t
at tbe bridge oil tbe Saluda road, wblnti
crosses the track* of tbe Southern Kali
way, ? few hundred yard* beyond the
borne of Mr. Worthy. From informa
tion obtainable tbe uegroea were from
Columbia and woro en route (home when
the aecident happened. Those whd hap
pened to be 1n the Neighborhood at tbe
time of the accident state that theau
tomoblle must -have been running 45
miles per hour and it was evident that
the driver wae not familiar with tbe
curves leading up to tbe bridge, The
driver evidently got onto the bridge
but struck the wide of a# me. He then
righted his machine and the next move
It plunged down tbe eiubankmeut, the
rear wheel of the automobile almost
touching the railroad cross ties when
it landed. The oar was badly damaged.
Of the six negores in the car fWe were
hurt, three of whom are seriously in
jured, and another one died from the
effects of hl$ Injuries this morning
about 3 o'clock. We understand that
two of thoso Injured will probably die,
little hope being entertained for their
recovery. All of those injured were
brought to Chester and placed i'n- the
Chester Sanltorium. It seems that the
car whijBta plunged Into the cut, was
one of three of four cars which were
making the trip to Columbia. A Bulck
oa/ in front managed to make the
bridge, but the Studebaker, which was*
following, went over the embankment
as above stated. The bridge Is ? very
dangerous one, especially to people who
are mot familiar with the Saluda road,
