They found the hute and in them the starved bodies of the for mer occupants. Every thread of clothing had been eaten by the famished men, women, and children.

Ex-Governor M. R. Patterson, of Tennessee, who recently professed conversion, seems to have gotten a dose of good old time religion. He is now lifting his voice whenever oc casion presents in denunciation of the liquor traffic and the men and In terests that are behind impure poli tics in Tennessee. Mr. Patterson is an able man and splendid speaker, and the forces of civil righteousness gained a powerful ally when he join- ,C4l himself to their standard.

Because of the disaster of the Zeppelin dirigible balloon the Ger man minister of war has counter manded all the proposed ascents of the military dirigibles Zodiac and Belgique for the year.

C. Seldon was pinned to the cab. his jaw being broken. He was also badly cut about the legs. The train had got back about 100 yards and was on the trestle when the fireman, who at once saw the danger sprang to the throttle, and brought the train to a stop. The en gineer was given medical attention by physicians and a wrecking train, which was following right behind carried the relief train on to the wreck, where the injured passengers and trainmen were looked after promptly. All the passengers, those wound ed and those unhurt, and the wound ed trainmen were brought back to Columbia. The accident at the Con- garee trestle delayed the relief train about an hour in reaching the wreck, but In that time passengers and train men, assisted it is said, by a physi cian from the country nearby and an other who happened to be on the train had made the “wounded as com fortable as possible.

Robert McCracken, the superin tendent of the "Snow Hill" farm on the - outskirts of Conway, happened to a horrible accident at the farm ginnery Tuesday afternoon. While attempting to unchoke one of the gins his hand was caught In the saws and torn into shreds As he stag gered from the gin house to his home his cries for help were heard by Miss Edna Mae Stephens, of the High School faculty, who requested the wounded man to sit down. She quickly and tightly clasped the arm above the wound and practically checked the flow of blood from the arteries until medical assistance could be secured. Mr. McCracken was rushed to a hospital where it was found necessary to amputate the arm at the shoulder. The self-pos session and quick action on the part of Miss Stephens probably saved Mr. McCracken’s life. Horse* Are Burned.

It will also enable the United State* to assemble a large fleet of naval ves sels in a short time on the Pacific coast. The building of this canal Is an undertaking of such tremendous pro portions that we doubt if any nation in tbe world could have accomplished it except the United States. It has cost many millions of dollars and thousands of human Uvea, but these things can not be allowed to stand in the way of the progress of the world. This great canal means much to this section of the country in the way of development and increase of population. Charleston Is several hundred miles nearer to It than any other port on this continent, and for that reason the old city ought to take on new life, and become the metropo lis of the South. If extreme poverty on the one aide and extreme luxury on the other side could he deatroyed the world would be a gainer. These two extemea are very laregely responsible for the mischief and vice that now exist. The people who lira snd enjoy life be tween these extreme# are the great conservers of society.
