That Johnston magistrate must have been a dispensary official at some time or other. He's entirely too thrifty a fellow for a small place like Johnston, and the citizens should request him to "move on." *** The Charleston Evening Post has installed its new Goss perfecting press, and the paper is now being printed on it. The Post is a good newspaper, and we rejoice at its prosperity. ^ ! At the recent cotton fire in Johnston a white man named Mobley saved six bales of cotton and now he claims it as his own 1 a - ...? i for salvage. He is tbe magistrate in ere, and the citizens have petitioned Governor Heyward to remove him. He ought to 1 be removed from office, for a man with ( such ideas is not likely to hold the scales ( of justice with an even hand. < t * it ... * * ''v The Herald stands for the rule of the < \ white man now as always, and the Orangeburg Times and Democrat knows 1 foil well that the white voters will decide the dispensary issue, no matter whether It is voted on under the general election , or primary system. The negro vote will t not cut any figure, and, with all due re- < apect to our contemporary, it is chasing i shadows. However, our good friend < Sims ignores entirely the purport of our article. An attempt was made to prejudice the minds of the people and make a mountain out of a mole hill in regard to j negroes voting in the dispensary election in Newberry, and Editor Sims took the . statements of a certain Newberry politic Ian as a text for his editorial. The latter j part of his article was all right, and we < [ only took exception to the Newberry ref- 1 erences, and to this point alone we referred. While we had nothing to at all to ( ?hnnt. the onestions raised bv our 1 friend, still we will answer his interrog- . stories. The Herald saw nothing radically wrong in the Times and Democrat advocating that the white Democrats of the State settle the di&pensary question, and we did not criticise him oh this point. Evidently he did not read the editorial of ours. The Herald is willing to pnt the matter in the white primaries, nor do we believe intelligent white Democrats should be disfranchised and igporant.negro Republicans allowed to vote. In factr a negro should not be allowed to Tote at ail. However, will our contemporary tell us how this state of affairs can exist when the election and registration laws are enacted and enforced by Democrats. Does the Times and Democrat favor the same restrictions for white primaries as general elections? This has nothing to do with the case, but we ask it merely in passing. Let us ask another question: Does the Times and Democrat believe that dispensaries should be saddled on cities and towns by negro votes? . Does the Times and Democrat believe a \ man should be allo wed to vote, even if he i8so careless and indifferent as not to ^ lake the little trouble requiitfto register? COLUMBIA GAMBLERS ARRESTED. Fifteen Well Known Young Men About Town Were Pulled. Quite a local sensation was caused in Pnlnmhia last Tuesdav. bv the arrest of 15 well known young men about town j * charged with gambling. Some time ago < notice was given tbat gambling was to be stopped in the city and this is the first ( step. The following are the names of the 1 men arrested: Thos. E. Norton, Lewis E. j Lowery, J. C. Mixon, W. T. Mixon, Joe , E. Monteith, Brooks H*rley, Paul W. j Robinson, Ike Brill, Toland Lowery, W. { C. Dunlap, Alex Norton, James Youngin- 1 er, Geo. Hambry and Clem Britton. < A hearing was had in the case last * Thursday before the city recorder of Columbia, and most of the men submitted 1 affidavits showing that they did not not live by gambling, and were dismissed. . The cases were brought under an old law ' which requires a man who is suspected of j gambling to 6how that he had some i means of support. None of the men were i caught gambling, but were arrested as t suspects. j An anti-gambling movement, headed by 1 prominent citizens, has been begun in 1 Spartanburg. ] The eitv council of Snartanburc has ' instructed the chief of police of that city to warn all gamblers to cease operations at once.. Highwaymen are holding up numbers of people on the streets of Columbia, and large rewards have been offered for the* capture of the robbers. The dispensary was knocked out in York county Tuesday by a vote of 706 to 181. Little interest was manifested, as it was conceded that the dispensary would go by a big majority. Judge Ernest Gary was held up at the point of a pistol by a masked highwayman on the streets of Columbia last Saturday night and robbed of $28 in cash and a gold watch and chain. WORLD'S BIGGEST SHIP Striking Innovations on the Ocean Liner Amerika. ?*r a r i ntTMMJ n A TV AV W\kVT\ ah a ka uaa1jq wi a w? * ~ ?

The new Hamburg-American liner Amerika, the world's biggest ship, will arrive In New York In a few weeks, says the New York Times. Tbe advent of tbe Amerika win mark the Introduction of many innovations in transatlantic travel, some of tbe new features being a restaurant wbere meals will be served a la carte at all hours under tbe supervision of a noted hotel in London. Tbe ship will have a florist's shop, electric passenger elevators connecting tbe decks, a well equipped gymnasium, stateroom telephone service, a nursery for children, trained nurses for tbe sick and electric and hydropathic baths. Of coarse the principal Innovation Is toe a la carte renaunuiu j-uv jucq iw this enterprise was suggested by the grill room feature on the Deutschland. The restaurant is aznidshlp on the sixth of the d&ks and will accommodate about 120 persons. Continental artists were engaged to design a large share of the ship's decorations, and every effect was carried out on a lavish scale. The decorative scheme of the restaurant Is in the renaissance style with elaborate effects in chased bronze. The walls are paneled in chestnut and mahogany mounted in bronze fashioned by famous artists after the style of the latter half of the eighteenth century. At night a number of large crystal electroliers and wall brackets give a soft light The skylight is framed in wrought iron and glazed with artistic ?talned glass, while large square winlows replace the circular portholes. The tables have been placed so as to afford accommodation for parties of two, four, six or eight, and at one special banquet table twelve persons can be seated. The chairs are copies of the old Versailles design, with the same pattern of Aubusson tapestry that Marie Antoinette used in the Petit Trianon. The linen, china, etc-, have been especially designed to harmonize, and the silver need is the same service that was made for the use of the German emperor when he made his Mediterranean cruise on the Hamburg. Another splendid apartment is the main dining saloon, which is 100 feet long and extends the full width of the ihip. The room is situated amidships jn the main deck and has accommodations for 400 persons. The walls are of pearl gray, enriched by copies of BonChe's most admired paintings. The furnishings are of the Louis XVI period. The chairs are upholstered ith Sold colored West Indian satin. The carpets and tablecloths are a warm, Seep gold color. The wood carvings ire a reproduction of those in the Grand Trianon at Versailles. In the center of the room is a huge dome supported by graceful columns. The electroliers are of beautiful design, while the center tables are lighted by electric table lamps. Bronze garlands are suspended from the dome. The favorite haunt of the men passengers, the smoking room, is arranged In two stories on the upper promenade rnd boat decks, with a large staircase. Illumination is provided by electric lights placed inside of lanterns. It represents as nearly as possible a great hall or hunting room of an Elizabethan manor house. The solid oak is all hand carved and left with the rough tool marks of the period. Around the upper floor runs a fries? In light wood -epresentlng the life of St Hubert the patron of the hunt This Is likewise carried out In rough sixteenth century style. There is a huge Ellsabethan 3replace with a stone hearth. On the jpper promenade deck, slightly aft and farther In a steraward direction, Is a handsome smoking room for second class passengers. The nursery is large, airy and sptenlidly furnished. The furniture, which is very thickly upholstered, all sharp corners being avoided, is In various heights, to suit children of all ages. Fhe paintings Illustrate the nursery lore of various nations. The other ipartments In the Amerlka, such as he women's writing rooms, the suites le luxe, etc., are on a par with those ilready described. The Amerlka will have accommodations for a class of passengers to be mown as "fourth class." The Amerka will have accommodations for 1,057 passengers. Her crew complement being 520, she will thus, when full, have nearly 8,600 persons on joard. In the first class division she prill have accommodations for 507 tnd In the second for 284. Then comes i class entitled 'Intermediate,'* the mmber here provided tor being 230, vhlle lastly there Is a "third class" department, which win accommodate no ess than 2,086. One special point to >e noted In connection with the steertge passengers Is that they will never >e berthed below the lower deck. More>ver, they will at certain times of the lay have the use of one of the upper leeks aft The Amerlka has a length of 6S7 'eet a breadth of 74 feet 6 Inches and i depth of 53 feet Her displacement a nearly 42fi00 tons, while her gross onnage Is about 28,000 tons, and when oaded she carries over 18,000 tons of argo. If the cargo of this vessel were placed on freight cars standing end to md these would extend over a distance rt ten miles. JT trance * 4 * Acctaem* Freakj of Engine* and Car* In Hailbuay WrecKf. A Locomothte Which Jumped Oxfer a Chcum ? The Terrible Catastrophe at Vera, Ind.--fiarrot* JCscapes. In spite of the great improvement in roadway, equipment and installation of safety appliances made in recent years, at a cost of millions of dollars, railroad wrecks continue with distressing frequency, and usually the investigation which follows discloses negligence, says the Boston Herald. The details of the famous wrecks have become familiar history, but in J^ ? . jjWMfcJiyj THE XNGDOE AJW TEVDEB JUMPED THE FOBTI FEET THE BBZDOX HAD 8PAXHED. many instances the engines, tenders and cars have performed feats that are astounding, and their causes have been no less unusual In 1873 at the Richmond switch in Connecticut a dam across a small mill, stream was carried away, and the water, released, rushed onward with such force that it carried away the railroad bridge, some forty feet in length, which crossed a chasm twenty feet deep. But the rails at both ends of the bridge were left projecting over the swirling stream. No one lived near the place, so the breaking of the dam and the washing away of the bridge were not known, and there was no one to give warning to a train of six cars, bearing some 150 passengers, which came thundering along. Not until it was too late to stop di? the engineer notice that the bridge was gone. He instantly applied the brakes, but his act was of no avail. 80 great was the momentum of tee train teat the engine and tender jumped the forty feet which the bridge had spanned and imbedded themselves on the farther side. Two cars plunged into the ohaam but all the rest remain ed on the track. Although fire broke out Immediately, only seven people were killed. A singular accident occurred at Coleman Station, N. Y., in the winter of 18S8. In endeavoring to dear the tracks of the New York and Harlem road a snowplow and five engines plunged into a firmly packed snowdrift in a rocky cut and were heaped In a shapeless mass. Pour men were killed and five injured. ' The cut was excavated from the solid rock, barely the width of a car, about 80 feet high and 150 feet long. Into this cut the snow had drifted till in places it was level with the top, and it was packed in an almost solid mass, I made less penetrable by a thaw which had been followed by freezing weather. Into this cut the five engines and a snowplow charged at a speed of forty miles an hour. So great was the power of the locomotives that the first engine, with the plow, penetrated the frozen mass, and they were buried in it But there the tunneling ended. When the first engine and plow were brought to a sudden stop the other four locomotives, their momentum broken without any warning or chance to down brakes, crushed Into each other with a roar like thunder. They were heaped In an awful jumble, and from maM Kivilran Iwm tflA UiC taxiUAV innon vt I/4VUVU MVU) hissing steam and grimy smoke came the cries of the dying and Injured. An accident In which fifteen people were killed and fifty injured, while the engine and cars performed remarkable stunts, happened near Peru, Tnd., In 1901, when the train known as the St Louis filer crashed through a trestle twenty-five feet high at 2 o'clock in the morning. Speeding at the rate of a mile a minute In order to make up time, the filer dashed around a curve leading to Short bridge Just outside the limits of Peru. A shrill whistle told that the train was late, but the whistle ended in a shriek and the hiss of escaping steam. As the loeomotive struck the trestle there was a deafening crash, a flare of rerohrtag lights and a roar as c thunder as engine and cars plunge with terrific force to the bottom of th ravine. Over and over the engine tun ed, making, three somersaults before i landed, bottom up, at the foot of th embankment One of the sleeping cars measure the exact length of the trestle, and n the train hustled down the embanl ment this cat lodged squarely on tfc abutments at each end of the bridg supports and exactly spanned the r: vine In place of the wrecked treat! directly over the scene of disaster an death. The blowing out of a red signal ligi by the wind during a fierce blixxar caused a collision between two passei ger trains on the Pere Marquette ral road at East Parts in the winter < 1003, bringing death to seventeen an injury to thirty-one. The east and west bound trains wei to have passed at the town of Fo: Orders to this effect were received b the train from the east, and a* M< Cord's Station the one from the wei should have received ' them, for t? agent hung out his red lantern. Tw minutes before the arrival of the tral ''the agent had noticed that the ligi was burning. Suddenly above the fur of the storm he heard the train, wbicl to his amazement, thundered by. R alizing that the action meant an ii evitable collision, - the -operator rusbe to the door and found that the sign; light was not burning, Tearing through the blizzard rive night, the westbound train sped dow grade, mating au or sixty miies a hour, while to meet it came the ees era train up the grade at the rate c forty miles. And the driving ston made it impossible for the engineei of the approaching trains to see eac other even in time to allow them 1 slow down. . Almost frantic, the operator at Mi Cord's notified the train dispatch* and then sat in awful suspense, awai ing word of ?>e wreck. And in lee than twenty minutes after the trai had rushed past his station the repoi came. The two trains, had met in tl middle' of a long curve, on the lnn< side of which was a high embankmez which shut out all view of the trac ahead. When the engines met one turne completely over and lay headed in tl opposite direction to thait which it ha been traveling, while the one from tl east climbed over the other, its boile wrested from the trucks, standing o end in a ditch at-the .side of the trad Five cars were splintered, but tl coaches of the westbound train, sav the mall and baggage cars, remains on the rails, find their passengers wei only badly shaken up. Early one morning some years ago freight train crashed through a wood en bridge. Upon the arrival of th wrecking train the workmen were sui prised to find the bridge had not co lapsed under the weight of the trail but had been knocked down by a d< railed car, whose marks were foun on tibe crosstles for a distance of thre* quarters of a mile back from th wreck. And, injured as it had been, I was found that the bridge had actaall OVKB AND OYEB TBI ENGINE TURNED. carried two cars across after hayln been crippled by the car that left th rails. Of the bridge there was nothing let but scrap, and the cars were throw: about In wild confusion and dismerr berment Among the debris wer found the bodies of three tramps wh had been stealing rides. Two men were sent back to flag a] excursion train, soon due. The corone of a nearby town, upon the arrival o the bodies of the tramps, Impaneled th whole of the train crew as a jury ant even forced the flagmen to leave tbel poets. Only two men were left at th scene of the wreck. Suddenly the; were startled by the shriek of an en ! glne whistle. The two men cllmbet up away from die track, expecting each moment to hear a terrible crash but there was none. They were as founded to see an engine and ten cars from which people were swarming i standing on the track, safe and sound The locomotive had ridden out ove the wreckage and' rested upon it In ai upright condition, supported by the de bris which filled the opening that th bridge had spanned, Instead of by th rails. = |SPE( |A ! : If EVER i- ;; A i * e, J; 55 < p? d || Each day sees ! |? at the Empor * \\ some special "U thatwearei ' ii ?ur host < at * ^ * * ?
