Assails Roosevelt and Taft.
Boston, Dec. 30.?Bishop Alexander
Walters, colored leader, of
Jersey, in an address at the Twelfth
Baptist church tonight, severely criticised
Pres. Roosevelt and Sec'yTaft
for their attitude in the Brownsville
shooting. He advised all his people
"to give!"their money, talent and
time to defeat at the polls the election
of any man or measure inimical
to the best interests of the negroes,"
Passenger Train Derailed.
Columbia, Dec. 30.?The Southern
railway train, No. 34, from Augusta
to Columbia, was derailed in a peculiar
manner near Vaucluse this
morning, and a serious wreck was
narrowly averted.
The heavy rains of the morning
had washed down sand on the track
I at the point where the dirt road
! crosses the railroad track at a sharp
i declivity, and the sand caused the
wheels of the engine to leave the
track. Every car of the long train,
including the Pullmans, also left the
rails and the train ran for two hundred
yards on the crossties along a
' n ' " j
mgn emoanKmeni, on une siue ux
which is the deep pond which furnishes
water to the nearby cotton
I mill. The passengers were badly
shaken up, and terribly frightened,
but were thankful that their expe|
rience was no worse when they realized
that had the cars turned over
| they might have been plunged into
; the pond on one side, or down the
embankment on the other; no one
was hurt.
The train from Aiken to Trenton
was sent to Vaucluse to get the passengers,
and brought them on here
this afternoon about four hours late.
Habitual Drunkards Kick.
Cumberland, Md., December 30.
?Soms of the persons whose names
have been posted on saloon walls as
habitual drunkards, threaten to
bring suit for damages against tne
individuals supposed to be responsible
for the lists. It is asserted that
when a saloon keeper is notified not
to sell a person alleged to be a habitual
drunkard, it is for his own information
and not to be spread
broadcast.
The head of the blacklist is a former
prominent business man and a
nephew of an admiral of the United
States navy. It is feared by many
that subsequent lists may appear
and embarrass some prominent persons.
Foul Play Suspected.
Batesburg, Dec. 29.?Speculation
is still rife as to how Mr. J. E. Wertz
came to his death on the evening of
the 24th inst. It will be recalled
that Mr. Wertz's body was found
near the S. & K. junction with the
skull fractured and otherwise bruised
and mangled. The coroner's jury
I returned a verdict that he came to
his death by being struck by a passing
train. There are others, however,
who believe that he was murdered
and robbed and then his body
was placed on the track. It was
known that Mr. Wertz had considerable
money about his person and
the fact that he was found with one
of his pants pockets turned wrong
side out and that $1.50 in change
was found under his body lend support
to this theory.
She Killed Her Father.
Purvis, Miss. , December 30?Mrs.
Lena Richardson Hartfield came 30
miles across country to surrender
for killing her father, John Richardi
son, which, she asserts, she did in
i defense of herself and her mother.
Richardson had become enraged at
his daughter when she married re[
cently against his wishes. He compelled
the girl to return home, \ and
then, imbibing freely of Christmas
liquor, began to abuse the girl and
her mother, so the former says.
Richardson went out in the yard to
get a stick to beat the women, and
upon his return his daughter met
him at the door witn a snotgun. ne
failed to heed a warning of a shot
aimed at the floor, and as he advanced
the girl fired again, the shot
entering his stomach. He died the
next morning. On the advice of
friends, the young woman came here
to surrender herself to the sheriff.
Richardson killed a man in this
county several years ago, but was
pardoned from the penitentiary by
the governor.
Jealous Negro Kills Three.
Abbeville}, Miss, December 30.?
Ernest Montgomery , a negro, in a fit
of jealousy to-day killed his wife and
two negro men. Montgomery killed
the woman first with a shotgun and
then stampeded nearly all the negroes
on the plantation, killing as he chased
them. He was arrested.
Bank Bookkeeper Commits Suicide.
Jacksonville, Dec. 30.?With a
bullet hole in his temple the body of
Otto Witschen, bookkeeper in the
People's Bank and Trust Company,
was found at 10 o'clock this morning.
Witschen and his wife quarrelled
Friday night, and she left home. It
is the belief of the police that Witschen
killed himself Saturday morning,
as the body indicated that he
had been dead for more than a day.
His accounts at the bank were
' i - -1 1- 'I - 1- - 1-Ai.

caused him to commit the rash act.
Knife Duel to the Death.
Charlotte, Dec. 28.?A special to
the Observer from Morgan ton, N. C.,
says news has been received there
from Collettsville,. Caldwell county,
ten miles from Lenoir, N. C., of a
fight to the death between four
mountaineers, two brothers named
Clark and the brothers Rader.
Knives were the weapons used and
the men fought for an hour without
interference, with the result that
both of the Clarks and one of the
Rader brothers were killed and the
other Rader badly slashed. Moonshine
liquor is said to have inspired
the battle, but details are not obtainable.

Shot by Crowd of Negroes.
Waycross, Ga., Dec. 24. -To-day,
shortly before noon, Wallace Dyal, a
woodsman employed by W. L. Hinson
& Co. at a turpentine still about
18 miles from Waycross, was shot
down by a crowd of negroes who
were fighting among themselves.
Before dying he shot and killed instantly
two negroes.
A report reached Waycross with a
request for the sheriff and deputies
at 11 o'clock and since that time
nothing further has been received
though arrests are expected tonight.
The negroes, so it appears, were
drinking and a fight started among
them. Mr. Dyal was nearby and
went to separate the fighters. They,
or others around, did not like this interference
and fired on him. He fell,
but was able to use his pistol with
telling effect.
Child Burned to Death.

Wm. A. Graham, was fatally burned
to-day about noon, dying in the hospital
several hours after the dreadful
accident.
None of the family was at home today
except Mrs. Graham and little
William. Mrs. Graham shut up the
house and went to the home of her
sister nearby, taking the child with
her. He slipped out, went home and
got into the house in some way and
attempted to light a Roman candle
at the fire when his clothing was ignited
in some way. When found the
little fellow was standing in the hall
with his clothing burned from the
waist up.
Railroad Work in South.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 29.?
Several hundred miles of railroad
have been constructed in the Southern
States during 1907, and it is estimated
that more than $75,000,000 has
been spent by the railroads of the
South in improving the systems during
the past 12 months.
The largest contract given during
the year was in Southwestern Virginia
where the Virginia and South
western railroad is being constructed.
This work has been from different
points and coal sections of Virginia
and West Virginia via Bristol,
to points in North Carolina where
connections will be made the Seaboard
and kindred lines. It is said
to be a part of the great Tidewater
system. When completed the line
will be over 150 miles in length and
will cost nearly $100,000,000. It is
through a very rough section and the
35 or 40 miles completed during 1907
aggregated a total cost of nearly
$15,000,000. The cost of one tunnel
was in excess of $2,000,000.
The Queen and Crescent has done
double tracking to the extent of over
$15,000,000..
Work continues on the Southern's
Lookout Mountain tunnel, but other
improvements are suspended.
Thirty miles of the Savannah, Augusta
& Northern have been graded.
The contract for construction from
Savannah to Chattanooga are for
$12,000,000.
The Tidewater developments, the
Flagler and other systems in Florida
and numerous enterprises in Louisiana
and Mississippi have been very
active in the year just completed.
There are numerous coal line and
minor branch systems of different
railroads which have been started
and completed during 1907.
