MR. JNO. WALDRON KILLED
MEETS DEATH IN DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
NEAR LEXINGTON.
Three Negroes Seriously Injured, One
of Whom Will Likely Die?Cause
of Accident a Mystery.
a Lexington, November 28.?A shocking
accident occurred at the Casparis
Stone company, near here, this afternoon
at 5 o'clock, in which Mr. John
Waldron, white foreman, was instantly
killed and three negroes se '
riously injured, one of whom will
probably die.
Just how the accident happened
Will perhaps forever remain a mystery,
but from what can be learned
* from those who were nearby at the
time of the explosion it seems that
Waldron was having some dynamite
placed in one of the drilled holes for
the purpose of cleaning it out to
make ready for the heavier blast
which was soon to follow. In some
unknowif manner the dynamite was
exploded, two charges going off almost
simultaneously. The body of
Waldron was terribly mangled and
he was evidently directly over the
hole at the time of the explosion. The
t negroes were covered beneath some
heavy rock and they were removed
from the debris with great difficulty.
The injured are: Arthur Johnson,
Edgefield, skull fractured and otherwise
injured, is not expected to live;
>- Ohnie Johnson, Lexington, bruised
about the head and body. The extent
of his injuries can not be determined
to-night. Elliot Wallace,
Edgefield, terrible gash across the
head, bruised about the hands and
body.
Dr. E. P. Derrick, the company's
-r ( physician, was soon on the scene and
is doing everything possible for' the
injured.
The report of the explosions was
l^eard for miles around and the news
of the accident carried many people
to the scene.
Coroner Clark is holding an in7
quest over the dead body of Waldron
J to-night.
Mr. Waldron was 53 years of age
and unmarried. He has been here
for about a year and was considered
one of the most careful as well as exnert
auarrymen in the country. He
has made many friends since he has
" "been in Lexington and that he met his
death in such a tragic manner has
caused general regret. He is said to
have an aged mother living at Winnsboro
and a brother living at Rion.
This is the most serious accident
' \ that has ever occurred at the quarry
i here, the company being exceedingly
fortunate in this respect.
r~, Negro Spirited Away.
Spartanburg, November 28.?Will
? Dickson, colored, of Madison, Oconee
* county, arrested on the charge of
writing an indecent letter to the
daughter <>f a well known banker of
Westminister, was made away with
last night by a party of men. The
hegro has disappeared and there is
lirach speculation as to what was
done with him.
- One report is that he was lynched
and another is that he was taken
ifDm jail and a delicate operation
performed on him after which he was
. mi.de to leave the town.
It is said that the crowd at first
thought of lynching the negro, but
decided that an operation, which is
Baid to have been successful, would
^ he more effective. According to reports
everything passed off quietly.
Headless Body Discovered.
&
Dalton, Ga., November 29.?The
body of Douglas Steele, a molder,
with the head entirely severed, was
fniind this morning stretched across
the rails of the Southern railway
track near the plant of the Duane
Chair company. The body was badly
mutilated, an early train having passed
over it, but the absence of blood
) near the scene led the officials to susT>ect
that the young man was foully
tlealt with and his body placed on
the track to conceal the crime. The
hody was warm when discovered. The
"coroner's physician, who made an examination
of the body, gave It as his
opinion that the mand was murdered.
Steele was out with a crowd of young
-men Saturday night and these were
'summoned to appear before the coroner's
jury and tell what they knew
of Steele's movements after he joined
them.
Census "Will Cost $12,030,000.
Washington, November 29.?The
'cost of taking the next census, as es
timated by Director North, will
? be $12,930,1)00. The director
says that this is but $410,000
more than the cost <of the census
in 1900 and says "in spite
'of the enormous growth in the population
during the last decade, a
growth largely contributed by foreign
born people who do not speak English,
a class which it is very expen
sive and very difficult to enumerate.
If the work can be done for this sum
*' in +>10 hl'ctftrv
11 Will DC LUC 111 OL UU1V 1U wv
of the nation that a census has been
taken and compiled at practically the
same cost as the prior enumeration."
'The increase, he says, heretofore
from decade to decade has been about
50 per cent.
Notwithstanding the congressional
requirements that appointments be
made on the basis of noncompetitive
examinations, the director says that
personal and political pressure must
in the end become the determining
factor. He favors the appointment of
clerks on the basis of their standing
ron the list of eligibles.

CANDIDACY COST TEN CENTS.
But Till Reiss is Lost to Congress Till
a More Enlightened Day.
Pittsburg, November 24.?Western
Pennsylvania is amused over a
campaign expense account filed by Till
Reiss of Sharon, Pa., the defeated
democratic candidate for congress in
the 26th Pennsylvania district. The
statement reads:
"I accepted the nomination on the
following platform?that I would
send to each constituent in the district
a package of seeds, that I would
draw my salary promptly, and all over
my board I would bring home and
spend with my constituents.
"In my campaign expenses I used
it where I thought it would do the
most good. Mercer county being my
home county, and in taking the presidential
vote of 1904 into consideration
I had only 4,735 votes to overcome.
"As my face is so well known in
the county I did not get out cards or
make any speeches that you could notice.
Capt. Whistler of the Western
Press assured me that because I was
an exalted Elk I could carry Elk
county without a doubt. I had positive
assurance from Joe Sibley and
Aleck McDowell that Vanango county
was positively averse to the use of
money in campaigns.
"With these explanations I hereby
certify to the following bill of expense:
"Two letters to D. J. Driscoll, St.
Mary's College, postage .04.
"One letter to J. W. Kelly, Marienville,
postage .02.
"One letter to T. F. Wansser,
Franklin, postage .02.
"One letter to C. E. Shatz, Meadville,
postage .02.
"Total, .10/
"P. S. The only seeds I can give
this year are little seeds of kindness."
Since the letter has been published
Reiss has received scores of letters
from voters promising to vote .for
him if he should run again for anything.
Blind Tigers in Gaffney.
Gaffney, November 27.?Officer
Hallman of the police force and Sheriff
Thomas captured two men in the
Gaffney mill village about 7 o'clock
yesterday morning who were dealing
out whiskey to the inhabitants of the
village. The men had a wagon, and
it was a veritable arsenal, shot guns,
rifles and pistols composing the armv

tion that these men had been here for
two days carrying on their traffic and
when captured they only found about
two gallons of "booze." They were
tried this morning in mayor's court,
but there was evidence only against
one of the men who was named McLil,
and he was sentenced to thirty
days on the gang or to pay a fine of
$100, the other man, Hoffman, was
discharged. The blind tigers in this
county are becoming very active and
nothing but the most drastic measures
will avail against them. Bub
Moore, a young white, man of Cherokee
Falls was bound oyer yesterday
by the Commissioner 'for selling
whiskey, and Israel Martin of the
same section was committed to jail
to-day charged with the same offense.
Strong cases were made out against
both defendants.

shopping.
Mr. Frank H. Copeland had a
bunch of bananas to mature in his
yard this year The bunch started
out early in the season, and before
the frost bit them he cut the bunch of
about 30 or 32 bananas and packed
them in a drum to ripen. The flavor
of them is good, and tastes like
more. The size of them is about natural,
but the length of them is the
principal difference.
We have had a very warm week;
regular summer weather; heavy fogs
every morning for a wee& or more.
Rev. D. B. Groseclose preached his
first sermon in Mount Pleasant Lutheran
church Sunday. He had a
very fair audience to hear him and
get acquainted. To-day the congregation
will go and prepare the parsonage
for his reception, and welcome
them to their new home.
If we could get a few more parties
in Bamberg owning autos to get interested
in some business down this
side, maybe we could get some interest
taken in improvement for our
road from here to Bamberg. The
roads in and around Bamberg get all
the work and these around here are
neglected and sometimes are almost
impassable.

NEWS FROM KEARSE.
"Old Timer" Writes up an Entertainment
at White Point School.
Kearse, November 30-?Were it
not for the leafless trees and bare
fields, warm sunshine and balmy
breezes would say spring is here, but
the flowers are gone?only two roses
left. Nothing to cheer? Yes, the
dear little violets are all smiles, and
their blue eyes speak volumes to the
world this spring-like day in late autumn.
So all the beauty and grace
are never to leave at one time.
Could you have been at the White
Point school rooms last Friday evening
there you would have seen gallant
young men and boys, pretty and
graceful young ladies and little girls,
neatly gowned, their faces wreathed
in smiles and that happy look with
sparkling eyes, all pleasure bent for
this was the evening for the festival
given by the "Jolly Eight," as announced
two weeks ago. There, too,
was grace and beauty and hope, for in
them lies the fate of'our country in
the near future.
The young ladies, Misses Ethel
Kearse, Cressida Breland, Mildred
Kearse, Vena Breland, Pearl Breland,
Edna Chitty, Alice Kearse, and Evelyn
Brabham, led by Miss Aline
Kearse, our efficient teacher, deserve
credit and the thanks of all who attended,
for the pleasant evening spent
and bountiful repast served at a nominal
price.
Early in the evening boxes and baskets
and all sorts of mysterious packages
commenced to arrive and were
stored until it looked enough for a
a regiment.
At 9 o'clock refreshments were announced,
and the feast kept up until
twelve, then the cake walk. Mr. W.
H. Ritter and Mrs. Hamilton were the
lucky ones.
Last came the cake to be raffled,
going to the most popular young lady
present. Miss Ming, of Union, S. C.,
won the cake.
Music was furnished by Messrs.
Merrit Kinard, Dayton Breland, J. F.
Breland, Jr., J. S. Breland, and Miss
Pearl Breland.
To say the least, the event was a
grand success in every way, even financially,
$34.20 net being the sum
realized. All honor to the ladies who
gave it, for on what woman smiles
will live, is the verdict of
OLD TIMER.

The annual conference of the
Methodist church, in session at Laurens
last week, adopted a resolution

the railroads are requested t6 discontinue
them. The matter came up on
a resolution adopted by the Orangeburg
district conference, whioh met
at Branchville last spring.
Columbia has been stirred up recently
over the base ball situation, as
it looked like the franchise would be
sold to Knoxville, as^he parties who
owned the club had lost so much money
that they did not feel warranted
in trying to give Columbia base ball
another season. However, several
citizens have taken up the matter of
raising money to buy the franchise,
and it now looks like Columbia will
stay in the South Atlantic league.
S. S. Tiner, of Spartanburg county,
who recently shot and killed Ed. Kirby
at Pacolet, was granted bail last
Friday by Judge Klugh in the sum of
$3,000. Tiner wasTT member of the

him at Pacolet he cursed and
threatened Tiner, who picked up a
scales weight and threw it at Kirby,
striking him on the neck, after tell

assassination, still shrouded in
mvaterv tnnlr nlace at Barnwell, this
state, a little after ten o'clock last
night, when Perry Ussery, well liked
by every one and so far as known
without an enemy in the world, was
shot in the hack of the head with a
load of buckshot and slugs while
standing talking to a friend just on
the edge of the grounds of a carnival
which was in progress at Barnwell.
Ussery was instantly killed. Marvin
Holland, to whom he was talking, was
only slightly wounded.
The shot was fired from out of the
darkness and except that immediately
after the shooting a man whose identity
is not yet established was seen
running to a nearby swamp with a
gun in his hands, there is no clue to
the assassin. Bloodhounds from the
State penitentiary followed the trail
through the swamp, losing it in the
road on the other side. Indignation
