' Tudoro Mommincrpr has made a crood B UU6V o ? ? impression here as a presiding officer. ? His manner is smooth and quiet, but r he dispatches business rapidly, and is always courteous and kind. sfeM ^ _ ? spa -; || 4 It is said that C. C. Featherstone, K -of Laurens, will likely be a candidate for governor to succeed Mr. Ansel. p|r Mr. Featherstone made a fine race for governor some years ago on a prohibition platform, and should he enter the contest he will be a forIfe midable opponent. We would like to see Mr. Featherstone governor. State Superintendent of Education 0. B. Martin announced his candidacy for the United States Senate last Monday. In his initial statement he speaks out clearly and sensibly, incidentally paying his respects to Senator Latimer and Governor Ansel. - We may not support Mr. Martin, but certain it is that he will make the campaign interesting, and the preL; v. sent Senator and Mr. Ansel (if he runs) will have to do a powerful lot &V > of explaining. Mr. Martin is a good campaigner, and he has the ear of a large part of the voters of South Carolina. We must not be under|f ' stood as being a political friend of Mr. Martin, however. All this talk about the scarcity of money is simply an effort on the part of the New York gamblers to force the "farmers of the South to sell their cotton. You can sell cotton but you can't borrow a dollar on it. We know of parties here in town whc had cotton in Augusta and wanted money on it but couldn't get it. They were told that the cotton could be sold at present prices, but nc tnAnlJ Via An it QO frtllflt. luoua vvuuiu uc w;uuv uu iv uw wum? eral. Much cotton is being held ir the South, and the North and the East are trying to force it on the market. There is no reason for an} panic, and the farmers should stanc firm. Hold your cotton and don'1 sell at present prices. ? The grand jury did well to find n< bill in the case against Wesley Huttx for the murder of M. B. Varn. Hutt< ' v,has been in jail for several month at an expense to the county, whei x there was no evidence to connect hin with this murder. Addison Johnsoi should also be tried or turned loose These two negroes have cost th< county several hundred dollars, ant there is no possibility of convicting them. We want to see the murdere. of Mr. Varn caught and hung, bu there is no use to be putting tb county to useless expense. Tb county has no money to waste ii boarding negroes in jail. This iten of board for prisoner will cost abou $700 the present year. y ianmdI LAUBER'S 2dnesday, Novembe such an opportun >re since the doors i appreciation.

No longer will one feel disgraced over the make shift structures of the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line railroads in that city, i It has long been a reproach that the chief city of South Carolina should have such poor depots, buildings ( which were not good enough for a < way station. But this is no longer the case, and the structure just completed is one of the largest and handsomest in the South. The old city is getting amove on it in many ways, and we will all rejoice. RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. Commerce Commission Report Tells of Loss of Life During Past Year. Washington, Nov. 11.?The interstate commerce commission bulletin on accidents upon railroads of the United States during the year ended June 30 last shows the total casualties to be 81,286, or 5,000 persons killed and 76,286 injured. This is an jn crease of 10,352 casualties, or 775 more killed and 9,577 more injured than the previous year. These figures include only accidents to passengers and to employees while actually on duty on or about trains. The bulletin says: "There have been heavy increases in all of the items, except accidents in car coupling and from striking against overhead obstructions. The number of passengers killed and injured in collisions and derailments has increased to an alarming degree. In this item the very large total reported in 1905 is now exceeded by 17 percent. "The comparative smallness of the increase in casualties due to coupling and uncoupling cars, and in accidents to men on the tops of freight cars, is undoubtedly due in a large measure to improvement in the maintenance and care of automatic couplers and to increased use of air brakes on freight trains. "The disastrous record of casualties to passengers in train accidents (410 killed) is due in a large measure to ten accidents which caused the death of 291 persons." LOVELORN, HE KILLS HlflSELF. Wm. Kersey, Son of Dillon nan Commits Suicide in Tampa. Tampa, Fla., November 11.?Wm. K. Kersey, of the Kersey Lumber Company of Atlanta, committed suii cide in a hotel room here to-day by taking morphine. He left sealed letters for his business partner, I. D. | Campbell, 60 Neal street, Atlanta; ! his father, J. W. Kersey, Dillon, S. C., 1 and Miss Francis Timmerman, of [ "Tampa. He was engaged to Miss Timmerman, and it is said that a mis| understanding with her caused his taking his own life. Miss Timmer> man fainted when she heard of his death. . 1 Girls Fought Duel Over Soldier. - Vienna, Nov. 9.?The young cavJ airy captain, over whom two girls, t Anna Ritter, nineteen years old, and j Ida Manner, aged eighteen,-fought a . terrible duel with pistols, has disap1 peared from his regiment. It is feared that, frightened by the tragedy, he has committed suicide. 3 The girls were employed in the same bank and were intimate friends. 5 Unknown to each other they fell in ) love with the same man and when 5 Miss Manner told her friend she , loved the captain, Miss Ritter chal1 - ' -i i mi r Li. lengeu tier to a auei. iney iuugm m 1 a secluded spot just outside the city. 1 Miss Ritter was shot through the . head and died shortly afterwards in g the hospital.

( Had Hydrophobia Three Months After Being ' Riftten Rv a Pet Dotf?Another Child Taken ' to Atlanta. I Fernandina, Nov. 4.-T. S. Weeks, < the 10-year-old son of Mrs. I. Weeks | of this city, died on Saturday from the effects of a dog: bite which oc- 1 curred over three months ago. The i little fellow became ill last Wednes- ( day and remained at home from school on Thursday and Friday. He 1 became delirious during Friday i night, and on Saturday morning fell , into terrible convulsion^. The cir-i cumstances seemed so peculiar that, consultation of physicians was held!1 immediately. All pronounced it a ( well developed case of hydrophobia. Thqtthild's sufferings were agonizing, and it took five strong men to 1 hold him when the paroxysms came on. During the intervals he asked for water but could not take it, convulsions distorting his body. All the i aid known to medical science was ad- , ministered, but to no avail. He died rather suddenly, at a little aftef 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The i funeral services were held yesterday from the home of his mother. A large attendance of sympathizing friends and relatives and the school /vP fn which the I UJ1IU1C1I \J.L. bUV giuuv .. little boy belonged, attending. Much sorrow for the unfortunate and sorrowing family were extended in this terrible and unusual calamity which has befallen them. The dog which has been responsible for the death of little T. S. Weeks, was a small, inoffensive house dog belonging to Mr. Mann, and neither before nor since, has showed any indications whatever of anything like madness. It is said that several other children were snapped at by the animal at the time he bit T. S. Weeks. The children were playing with the dog and when he jumped at them, seizing the Weeks boy by the thumb, the wound was nothing but a scratch which drew a little blood, and no more was thought about the matter. Little Howard Kelly, the son of John Kelly, was the victim of a slight scratch from the dog at the same time that T. S. Weeks was attacked. Since the terrible death of the latter, Mr. Kelly growing alarmed, has taken his little son to Atlanta ior possible treatment, or examination at the Pasteur institute there. The dog, while still manifesting no evidence whatever of anything approaching hydrophobia, was killed, and the head sent to the Pasteur ininstitute for examination yesterday evening. Later news is that a cat was killed at the Weeks house this morning which had suddenly developed madness. No one has as yet connected I the death of the child to any happening but the probable result of the dog scratch, occurring at least three months back. I This death and its attendant horJ ror of distress, and the anxiety that j exists in the breasts of the^ parents of the children who were with T. S. Weeks at the time that he received his wound from the dog have excited much sorrowful comment and talk among the townspeople, and everywhere are heard expressions of intense sympathy with the bereaved widowed mother and the brothers and sisters left to mourn his untimely death.?Jacksonville Times-Union, Tuesday' November 5. $80,000 Worth of Lingerie. Paris, Nov. 9.?The truosseau of Princess Marie Bonaparte, _ jvhose marriage to Prince George of Greece will be celebrated next month, has been put on exibition and has set all Paris to discussing it. Such a magnificient display of feminine finery has not been seen here since the advent of the third republic. There are 65 different costumes complete, a dozen hats, a profusion of costly furs and sables, acres of linen and piles of dainty lingerie. The lingerie alone cost $80,000, the beautiful skirts and other garments which the bride will wear on her wedding day attracting much attention. The princess has been the subject of much criticism by Parisians because the entire trousseau was purchased at a single house and that not a French, but j an Austrian house. . ? f r" ^ Q Q ?
