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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
