The northbound train crew were under the Impression that the southbound train was to be passed at Bon Aire, while the southbound train had ordsra to meet at Wills ''-■Ida. r.[i._ The northbound train dashed by Wellston and was making fast time to reach Ben Aire to present any de lay of the southbound train. The two train* met on a curve and death and suffering ensued. The two engines crashed Into each other with a terrific impact, the north bound train was the heavier of the two and the light engines and coach es of the southbound train were bad ly smashed. ^ None of the dead were passengers and only a few passengers were »ci- lously Injured, the dead and Injured being among the employee of the company.

By an unanimous decision of the supreme court Tuesday, Senator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman are commanded to surrender to Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., the custody of the lattera two girls deeded to the elder Tillmans In December by their father, upon the allegation that their mother was un fit to bring them up properly, and he was not himself able to give them such an upbringing as he would like them to have. The court holds that such a deed Is invalid without the sig natures of both parents, If both be living. What Senator Tillman Says. Commenting upon the decision of the court, Senator Tillman said: ‘‘The supreme justices have lifted a great responsibility off me and shifted It to their own shoulders. My only motive in accepting the guar dianship was the welfare of my little grand daughters. I know all the facts and circumstances, many of which were not brought out in the hearing, and was actuated solely by a sense of duty. The final result can alone determine whether the court has act ed wisely. "Fifteen years hence, when I am dead and gone, the character and type of women that my grand-daugh ters will have become will show whether It was best to have given them to their mother or not. "I pray God's guidance to her in rearing them and that He will shield them from contaminating Influences and example." FIND GRAFT IN OHIO FORMER STATE PRINTER OWNS . UP TO GRAFTING.

The House of Representatives fa vors the Income tax by the Federal Government. There were only three voles recorded against the proposi tion. Mr. M. L. Smith had passed to third reading his resolutlJQ ratifying the proposed amendment ! to the United State* Constitution for the Federal Income tax. By a vote of 100 to 3 the proposed resolution was adopted. Representatives Fultz, Nunnery and Doar voted against the amendment. The Federal* Income tax amend ment proposition was passed In the Senate late Tuesday afternoon by a vote of 28 to 9. The bill Is now on third reading and It will probably cause some discussion when again reached on the Calendar. Apparent ly there has been a change In the opinion of members of both the House and Senate since the matter was presented by United States Sen ator Bailey for before Monday night there was a general Impression that the resolution could not pass.

Democratic Governor Harmon Trees Republican Thieves in the Back- ojre State. Governor Harmon Is after the grafters In Ohio. A dispatch from Columbus says Chairman Beatty of the legislative graft probe committee appointed through the Insistence of Gov. Harmon announced today that J. E. FTelaford of Dayton, former partner of Mark Slater, former sup ervisor of State printing, had con fessed to him of wholesale grafting In the department of printing at the time Mr. Slater was In charge. Ac cording to the confession of Brels- ford, from whom Slater bought goods, he and Slater divided $13,700 drawn from the State treasury on vochers for the payment for atock never de livered to the State printing depart ment. Brelsford went on the stand on Wednesday in the State probe In vestigation session and revealed de tails of the transaction of the com mute*. Mr. Brelsford was shown a war rant, No. 1256, on which he was paid $5,501.75 for goods alleged to have been sold to the State bindery on December 7, 1 905. The entire list of goods Itemized In the bill was read to hlni'and he testified frank ly af the conclusion that not a single Item represented goods actually de livered by him to the State; that it was entirely a piece of graft. Before testifying the committee er plained to him again that the testl mony he might give here could not be used against him in criminal pros ecution. On the fourth bill, dated March 27, 1 906, for “24 dozen of Moroc co, sorted,” for which $3 0 4 was drawn, he testified that but two dov en were delivered, the cost of which was $67; that the bill was padded to the extent of $727. CLOTH PKDDLEH GULLS MANY Anderson Tailors Annoyed by Clever Swindler Anderson tailors have been muili tormented during the past Mw lay*. because of the operations of n slick swindler, who has been peddling suit patterns through the county. His game is one of the„ slickest that has come to light in some time, an 1 has no doubt, resulted In bringing much coin Into his pockets. The swindler carries a big assortment of cotton- ades and other cheap fabrics, worth up to 80 cents or $1 per yard. He approaches the unsuspecting person; offers the goods for sale, charging $1 to $2 per yard, and putting forth the argument that a tailor In An derson is making up the clothes at $3.75 per suit—with extra pair trousers. The scheme has worked well. There have been a number of those who have been taken in, come to the city, bringing the goods and calling on the tailor, whose nanm was given them by the swindler. In each case the game has, of course proven almost a total loss to the man taken in. RESCUED BY CRUISER.

LIKE THE DAYS OESALEM KILLED BY ACCIDENT BRIDGE WATCHMAN AT COXfiA- ree Found dying. The Belief of a Father and Mother In the Superstitions of Witchcraft Reveals a Most Remarkable Con dition of Dense Ignorance in the County of Berks, Pa. That seventeen of the twenty chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Carl of Reading, Pa., died as the result of witchcraft was the startling state ment made Friday by the parents. A daughter, 28 years of age, died and was buried last week. The ma jority of the children died whYm julte young. The parents have never been ill a single day, while their hildren vasted almost to skeletons. Attend- ng physicians said several of the children were afflicted with maras mus, a waging of the flesh without any fever or apparent disease, while ‘powwow” doctors declared tht the little ones were bewitched by an old woman. __ Several of the children in their Ill ness scratched their mother on the neck and face, screaming for hours, and manifested other queer symp tom until they died. While physi- ctnns declared that several of the older children died of tuberculosis. Mr. Carl believes all were bewitched. He said: "When one of our children was ill ;he doctor said it would not live over right, and at the suggestions of a neighbor I called in a “hex doctor ’ who had the reputation of curing bewitched people. He hung some thing in a bag around the ehid's neck and gave It two kinds of med icine. He said that it had been be witched by a woman, but would not mention any name. From the time the witch doctor began to treat the child it began to Improve, and Is one of the three living today.” On another occasion when one of his daughters was ill, Mr. Carl de clares an old man, hearing him tell a friend about his loss of so many children, said he could help the child, and was invited to try. He brought a piece of muslin, a needle end thread, a pen and red Ink, and the seventh book of Moses. He "powwowed,” and then copied a verse on a slip of paper, using his red ink, and pu£ the paper In a little red muslin bag and hung it at the head of the cradle, and the child improv ed. When Dr. R. E. Strassers was cor oner he waged war on the “powwow” doctors, but they are still doing bus iness In Berks county. Eastern Penn- sylvnla Is a stronghold of superstl lion. Ladle*' or Men’* Will Dye For You or Dyed to look Uk* At HI* Post of Duty Early Thursday Morning, Dying a Short Whil* Later. Thomas Jefferson, night watchman for the Southern railway company it Congaree River Bridge, Just above Fort Motte, was killed at an early heur Thursday morning. It is not known how the accident occurred. The Steamer City of Columbia arriv ed at the bridge about 5:30 o’clock, and the draw was opened for It to puss. On arrival of train No. 15 at six o’clock no signals were found, and the draw bridge was partly open. The crew closed the draw, and seeing no bigns of the night watchman, passed ever the bridge. After this a freight train from Columbia arrived, and after a search for the watchman they found him lying under the draw on the rock foundation, with one arm pinioned under a turn of the draw. He was yet alive, but unconscious and died shortly after being moved. The supposition Is that while trying to close the draw he fell .through on the foundation and caught on the iron turn table to keep from falling to the river below. On arTlval of train No. 15 a few minutes afterwards, when the draw was closed, it caught his arm. It •eing dark he was not discovered ly ing underneath the track. It seems that when the steamer City of Columbia arrived at the Nidge at 5:30 o’clock and the wat chman opened the draw for It to ptss, but as train No. 15 Was due at six o’clock, he hastened up the track to place a signal to save the pas- rer.ger train from dashing into the waters of the Congaree river. Com ing back to close the draw the watch man fell Into the aperture used for oiling the machinery of the bridge. Shortly after the train crew closed the draw and crushed the life out of the unconscious man. Jefferson had been night watchman of the Congaree bridge for thirty years. and Mocked. C, C.

The supreme court Wednesday rendered a decision af firming the decision of the circuit court which found Boyleston guilty of murder with recommendation to the mercy of the court, which means life Imprisonment. The murder for which Boyleston must suffer was one of the most at rocious In the history of the ^tate.

For the first time in five years the product of the pauper hen of Europe is being Imported, Into New York In eompetition with the results of home Industry. The eggs ar© shipped by brokers in Hull, England, buf are gathered originally from France and Germany. Up to the present the total receipts of the foreign eggs amounted to 900 cases, holding about 960,000 eggs. The duty on foreign eggs is five cents a dozen, and the shipping charges about four cent* a dozen. Dealers say that European markets are flooded and the low prices enable the shippers to make a good profit on their Importations. cocked shotgun, pointing to the ap proach to the chicken house, so that Ynyone approaching the chicken house would run against the cord and discharge the gun. Mr. Neel’s wife received the load of shot in tended for the thieves. Mrs. Neel was In the yard looking after matters before retiring for the night, and probably did not know or had not thought of her husband's precautions. The load entered the right leg below the knee joint, at close range, boring an ugly hole. Mm Fatally Burned.

A circular issued by the Tariff Re form Club of New York says rising prices and new conblnations In re straint of trade verlfy the warnings of the opponents of the Aldrich bill. The sham “downward” revision of the tariff Is Illustrated by the fact that since the bill was reported the value of the common stock of the steel trust to which the tariff privi lege Is an Important asset, has more than doubled. On February 1, it was worth $210,000,000; today it is quot ed at $450,000,000. This fact shows how “hard the trust was hit.” An other fact worth noting Is that since the “downward” revision of the tar iff- begaB. rive -a.varag©-price of com- modities has risen 8 per cent., and the work of "protection” combina tlons has hardTy commemeed. The rise in wages has been so slight as to be negligible. Death of Editor Ford.. Mr. Arthur P. Ford, for many years editor of th© Aiken Recorder, passed away last week.

Last y^ir there was a Roosevelt program fo. Congress to act upon. This repre sents the growing tendency for the administration to assume the leader ship In getting law's enacted, follow ing somwhat after the manner of European legislation, where a respon sible ministry either gets its program of legislation through or else resigns. This country has seen so many do- nothing Congresses, w'here no one seemed- responsible for getting any thing done, that there is a general acquiescence In this tendency of the president to assume a more active share in the leader-hip of his party With this change gradually coining, when things go wrong the country will know who to punish. Many people still feel strongly &g;.»nst what is called one man power, but after all one man power ii often ’he Trad© Reciprocity. The advance or decline of a com munity rests largely on th© feell'.g as to home enterprises. If the wives of local merchants feel so little ob ligation to the source from w liiaii their bread and <*om<^ as to patronize jvctiSide houses foe their supplies, a town will never get ahead. If the mistress of the home on a swell street has bo send to the metropolis to get sufficiently fine feathers, soon the wife of the cb-rk and of the laborer will b© feeling that she can be truly swell only through distant purchases. Such peo ple are leeches upon business life. They absorb money like a sponge, but Instead of returning it to tne sain© channels whence it sha 1 .! come again to them, they seatin' it to the winds of heaven. The loyalty most of us feel to the home organiza tions, societies, schools, churclms, must be extended to local business institutions. If we desire to gain anything by the growth of ou r town.
