Men and Women Watch while Two Lads Die on Trestle. Indianapolis, Ind., August 9.? More than a score of men and women \ stood on the banks of White river; seven miles from Indianapolis, this afternoon and watched Hubert Staley, 17 years old, and John Weston, 1'9, run a frantic race with death for two hundred feet across the railroad bridge. The race was a losing one i for the young men, before they had L, reached the end of the structure, were hurled to death by a passenger train. A companion of the boys, Herbert . Jenkins, 18 years old, reached the end of the bridge a few seconds ahead of the speeding train. Young Staley was carried two hundred feet down the track, his body scattered along the right of way, while Weston's body was thrown down the embankment. Mill Situation Blue. ><' Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 2.?The textile manufacturing situation in this section is decidedly blue, nor do mill men know where and when it will I end. The big Smith-Draper mills, it is learned to-day will shut down to-morrow. While it is given out that the shut-down will be only for one week, well informed mill men > understand that it will be for a much greater period. It is believed that the cessation of operations by this company will mark the real commencement of a general closing down of mills in Piedmont Carolina. Four i big Spartanburg mills closed down last week and only one of the dozen mills in Charlotte is operating full time, the others being shut down completely or running part time. The Smith-Draper mills are five in number, having a capital of nearly * $2,000,000 and employing several thousand operatives. They manufacture white sheeting principally. For months the situation in the cotton goods market has been serious and grows no better. Prices are low and there is little or no demand even at the bottom figures and for months the mills which have been running ? have simply piled up manufactured goods in their warehouses. With the mills which have been on part time it has been merely a matter of keeping their otherwise idle operatives together and the operations have been conducted at a loss.

Mrs. Mary Rowden, 65 years old, and Mrs. Rose Beck with, 43 years of age, were instantly killed and Frederick Beckwith, 45 years old, perhaps fatally injured and Bessie Beckwith, 16 years old, his daughter, badly bruised and burned by the explosion of an automobile at the foot of Stickey Hill, about eight miles from Painesville to-day. Mr. Beckwith, accompanied by his mother-in-law, wife and daughter, was on ms wa* from their home at Windsor, Ohio, to this city, and was running the machine at a rate of about eight miles an hour when it exploded. The occupants of the car were hurled in all directions. Mrs. Rowden, who was on the front seat with Beckwith, was found about forty-five feet in front of the wreck, while Beckwith landed about the same distance to the right. Mrs. Beckwith was hurled twentyfive feet in the air. Bessie Beckwith was thrown fifteen feet and sustained severe bruises. An ambulance conveyed the injured to this city. Couldn't Bluff the Minister. Cole Blease appeared in a new role yesterday. He not only attacked Governor Ansel and the newspapers but the ministers of the gospel received some attention yesterday. In his campaign speech while defending his liquor principles he said: "If you want prohibition let the ministers preach the gospel and stop going into York county and telling lies on J hifl me." vvnen ne. uau uuwuvu u.? speech Rev. J. L. Harley, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League who had recently been making speeches in York county confronted Mr. Blease on the court house square and looking him square in the eyes said: "Mr. Blease I am a minister of the gospel and I have recently made speeches in York county. I want you to name the minister who has lied on you." Mr. Blease declared that he did not know the man and the only foundation he had for his remarkable statement was, that some man had told him (Blease) that a minister had said that his (Blease's) campaign expenses were being paid by the liquor people. When seen Mr. Harley made this statement: "WThile I was in York county speaking in the interest of prohibition, I made this statement in the court house at Yorkville and also at the Filbert picnic on Saturday the 25 th inst. "The liquor people are thoroughly organized in every county in South Carolina. They have men running for office, and while I could not prove it, neither would I swear it, yet I am satisfied in my own mind that they have a candidate for governor in this State. I did not name this man, I called no man's name. I went further and stated that I was satisfied in my own mind that some men running for office in South Carolina were making more out of their race than they would ever make out of the office for which they were running, if elected." "These things," said Mr. Harley, "I believe are true. I have every reason to believe that in every county in the State money is being used by the liquor people outside of the State of South Carolina. A secret warfare is being waged against good citizenship; against the interest of the people, against the morals of the people; against the ministry; against the church of God. You may say in your paper that I am personally responsible for my views in this matter. I have been in every large city in the State; have spoken in more than half the counties in the past three months. I have seen and heard a good deal. I tell you South Carolina is the strategic point for the liquor element. Our people must not be deceived and must wake up." Mr. Harley was then asked: "Who is Rev. J. W. Wolling, the Methodist minister at Newberry whom Mr. Blease is referring to, to substantiate his good character?" Mr. Harley's answer was: "Brother Wolling has been a missionary in Brazil for the past twenty years. Recently he was transferred from the Brazil conference to South Carolina and for the past few months has served the Methodist church at Newberry."*?Spartanburg Herald. Don't Endorse Blease. A minister in Newberry has written the following letter to a gentleman in Spartanburg. "Newberry, S. C., July, 31, 1908. "Dear sir: Mr. unease s auuuuuoement on more than one occasion that he had the support of the ministers in his town and referring all inquiries as to the character, morality and standing of his family to them personally, has caused these ministers much annoyance and placed them in an embarrassing position of either b/ silence quietly approving the past, or forcing them to do what is unpleasant?speak out plainly and say his past totally unfits him to fill the position of Governor of South Carolina. This attempt to bolster himself through false misrepresentations will react upon him. And the thanks of Carolina will be due those who have, and the hundreds who will avail themselves of this proposition and get the opinions of the good ministers of Newberry upon this matter. "Continue your inquiries, the more the better it will be for the State and Newberry." Proposed Electric Railway. Edgefield, Aug. 5.?In response to a call issued by Messrs. W. P. Calhoun, chairman; W. A. Strom and S. B. Mays, a suDcommittee 01 tne Doara of incorporators of the Augusta & Edgefield Electric railroad, a representative meeting \Cas held in the court house here to-day in the interest of said road. A resolution was passed instructing the subcommittee to at once advertise for bids for the survey of the road from Augusta via Edgefield to Greenwood. Much interest is shown in the matter. It is stated that the company! will be organized at an early date, j Work on the survey will be pushed as rapidly as possible. NEW JERSEY GIRL OUTRAGED. Armed and Angry Crowds Looking for a Strange Negro. Salem, N. J., August 8.?Armed posses under the direction of Sheriff Collins B. Allen are searching Salem and adjoining counties to-night for a negro who to-day committed a brutal assault upon Stella Lawrence, the twelve-year-old daughter of Oscar Lawrence, a farmer of Warrington Township. The police of every city and town in South New Jersey have been furnished with a description of the negro, who was a stranger in the neighborhood, and are making a determined effort to apprehend him. Farmers and their sons are scouring the woods and roads between here and Woodstown, and if they capture the negro he is in danger of violent treatment. Stella Lawrence left her home to place a letter in a rural delivery mail box at the end of a lane on her father's farm, probably a quarter of a mile from the house. She was about to return when a negro whose apn^nnnh otifl VnH nrkt SP17.PH JJ1 UaV/11 OUV UUU UW her and dragged her into an adjoining corn field. When the girl did not return members of -her father's family started in search of her, and as they approached the corn field were attracted by her moans. She was carried to the house, but an hour elapsed before she recovered sufficiently to tell her story. The girl was able to give but a very meagre description of the negro, whom she had never seen before. Whole Family Wiped Out. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 7.?A special to The Observer from Sparta, Allegheny county, brings news of the death of an entire family at Edmunds, 10 miles across the mountain from Sparta, by lightning. Frank Murphy, a farmer, his wife and young son were in the field stacking rye when the storm came up. The trio ran for shelter, but were stricken down before they reached the house and presumably were instantly killed. The bodies were found later by neighbors. Receivers Appointed. * ? r?a ? ~ r\ TT* iitf_ union, AUg. 1. JUUge v. su. JTijrdrick has appointed as receivers of the People's bank of this city, which on Tuesday morning went into voluntary liquidation, B. F. Arthur, president of the bank, and W. H. Gist, cashier of the Bank of Carlisle. What the assets ind liabilities are can not yet be ascertained, several directors having stated that they are not in possession of information upon which any definite figure can be based. State Bank Examiner Giles L. Wilson of Spartanburg is expected here to-day. KILLING AT "FAIR FOREST. Negro Shoots Another During the Progress of a Baseball Game. Spartanburg, Aug 1.?John Garrett, colored, a blacksmith at Fair Forrest was shot and instantly killed by White Foster, also colored, at a baseball game at a negro picnic one "<l? oKrvrrn 1?O{T> rnrpoat thlfi nftpr^ 11111^ ai/V T C X- ail A VAAV0W VM.W noon. The cause of the row was A woman. Bad blood existed between the negroes for some time and this afternoon it culminated in a tragedy. Poster is a stout young negro who owns his own home and farms. John Garrett was originally from Spartanburg, where his father runs a blacksmith shop. It is said Garrett had a pistol in. his hand when Foster approached to shoot him and it was only a question of who could fire first. Foster was arrested. LIGHTNING'S QUEER FREAKS. Seems to Make a Specialty of Tattoo-' ing Images on Victims. A curious freak of the tornado took place on the Tucker farm. Mr. Tucker, who was lying in bed with a broken leg, could not run to a place of safety when the storm was seen coming. His wife gathered the three little children and they all piled on the bed with Mr. Tucker, the wife saying that if all were killed they would all die together. After the storm Mrs. Tucker found herself about 50 yards away, two litin fVio Ko/4 tho prpplf LIC &il to uirnu iu uvu w?. ^ ~ the little boy sitting on a pile of straw, all unhurt. Looking towards the house Mrs. Tucker saw all of it away except the floor. But the bed still stood where it did before the storm and her husband was still lying upon it without a scratch.? Smith County, Kansas, Pioneer. Whites Refused Registration. ' Aiken, Aug. 10.?There seems to be a great deal of indignation in this county at the action of the registration board in refusing to register white men. Among the men so refused, it is said, are some of the best men in the county. Last week Mr. Dowling Lowe, an old Confederate veteran of Windsor with an honorable record, was not allowed to renew his certificate, even though he was formerly registered. In some cases, it is saia, no questions ait aoned by the board, but in other cases the line is drawn so tight that good men are refused as in the case of Mr. Lowe. So far there are some 75 men disfranchised. The board, it is alleged, has violated the law in registering men who are not qualified and using this as a "cause" petitions will be circulated asking that the board i be removed from office. The Aiken delegation visited the board on Thursday and tried to impress upon them that they were not carrying out the intent of the law, but it is not known what effect this visit will have upon the registration board. In the case of Mr. Lowe, the chairman, Mr. George Weeks, refused to allow him to register, while Mr. Bates wanted to issue the certificate. Mr. Turner, the third member, was absent. The people are indignant and this is one of the principal topics for discussion in the county now. If the petitions are not laid before the governor it is probable that the Aiken delegation will change the makeup of the registration committee. SPECIAL NOTICES.
