SUCCUMBS AT LAST. .:v 3fan Dies After Weeks of Suffering from Horrible Injuries. Camden, April 11.?After hovering between life and death for aboul seven weeks with a large hatchel -wound in the top of his head and ? pistol ball lodged in the back of his head, which passed through his forehead, Adolphus Kelley, of Blaney Ai^A lonf nierVit of 7 ftVlftPk His fififhl uicu iaoi ut^ui, uv > v v??v? ?? ? against death was one of the most remarkable on record. Kelley, according to the story told, came horn* drunk one night and theatened tc kill everyone in the house, including the women. Brooks Cornwell, ar p 18-year-old boy, interfered, and Kelley resented the interference and attempted to shoot Cornwell. Corn well snatched up a hatchet and split Kelley's head open, exposing his brain. Kelley still tried to shoot and <Uornwell forced the pistol againsl Kelley's forehead, and in the scuffle it went off, the bullet going througt the brain and lodging in the back of his head. KelleyUhen got a gur and went through the rooms of the V' house looking for young Cornwell hut was stopped by his wife, who saw his condition. An operation was performed on Kelley that night, anc since then he has been under the care of Drs. J. W. Team of Ridgeway; Watson of Columbia and Grishy of Bianey. A piece of the brain as large as a hen's egg, enclosed in the brain tissue, protruded from the hatchet wound. It was impossible for the doctors to put it back in the proper place. Kelley's side was completely paralyzed. The pistol ball was never removed. All hope for Kelley's life was given up by the ;? ' doctors as soon as they saw his condition, but he has lingered on week after week, gradually losing ground, > hut never losing consciousness, until , death relieved his suffering last night. Kelley's brothers will push the prosecution of Cornwell. Cornwel declares that no ill-feeling has ?ver existed between them. He said Wi v that he is closely related to Kelley ; - and has lived with him all his life, and it was necessary for him to strike Kelley as whiskey had him in a craz" -ed condition, and that he would have v killed him as well as the women in 1^;; the_ house if h^ had not struck him K.,' with a hatchet. ||jv What America Most Needs. The editor of the Wall Street Jour Dal, a strictly secular paper, writes: "'What America needs more than railway extension and Western irrigation and a low tariff and a bigger wheat -crop and a merchant marine and a new navy is a revival of piety, the fcind mother and father used to have ?piety tnat counted it gooa ousmwss to stop for daily prayer before breakfast right in the middle of harvest; that quit field work a half hour early Thursday night, so as to get the chores done and go to prayer meeting; that borrowed money to pay the preacher's salary and prayed ferventf ly in secret for the salvation of the rich man who looked with scorn on such unbusiness-like behavior?that's what we need now to clean this country of the filth of graft and of greed, petty and big, of worship of fine liouses and big lands, and high office :and grand social functions* What :is this thing we are worshipping but a vain repetition of what decayed nations fell down and' worshipped just before their light went out? Read (the history of Rome in decay, and you will find luxury there that could lay a big dollar over our little doughnut that looks so large to us. Great wealth never made a nation substantial nor honorable. There is nothing on earth that looks good that is so -dangerous for a man or a nation to liandle as quick, easy big money. . If you resist its daily influence, the chances are that it will get your son. It takes greater and finer heroism to dare to be poor in America than to charge an earthworks in Manchuria." May Seek Court's Aid. Greenville, April 12.?Gov. Cole L. Blease, who is here attending the State council of the Redmen, made the following statement this afternoon: "I will show the people that a county officer like Goodwin can't tell the governor of this State to go to hell. I expect to pursue the regui. lar course in presenting papers for the collection of the salary of Detective Head, and if the county of Greenville refuses to pay the money I will secure the services of a lawyer and take the case to the State courts. If that fails, I will take it to the sli7 F preme court." The statement was made in connecgs?; ?& . tion with Supervisor Goodwin's refusal to pay the salary of Officer Head, dispensary constable, officially appointed by the governor. For the reason that the county delegation failed to make provision for the salft-' v / ary of this office, the county has no funds to apply to this purpose. The local view is that the governor has misunderstood the situation. Supervisor Goodwin to-day said he has always treated the governor with the utmost respect, especially in the matter under discussion. i MAN CUT TO DEATH, j Clarence Mooney Killed in Battle Ground Section of Cherokee. Gaffney, April 15.?News reached t the city early this morning of a killt ing which occurred in the Battle i Ground section of this county last 5 night. The coroner at once went to - the scene and found that Clarence , Mooney had been cut to death by two t other men, A. M. Scruggs and Jim * Young. All of the parties involved are white. - From what could be learned to> night it seems that all of the parties r were drinking. Scruggs drew his i knife and cut Mooney three times in i the head, one of the wounds being I in the temple, and from this wound - death ensued at about 4 o'clock this t morning. The fight took place at > about 9:30 last night. The two prinl cipals, Young and Scruggs, when seen t in the jail this afternoon, stated that > the dead man was drunk and that he i became involved in a row with : Scruggs. According to Scruggs, l Mooney struck him three times with J a rock and was trying to kill him , when he got out his knife and did r the cutting. Young said he had nothing at all 1 to do with the cutting and at the time > that it happened he was trying to separate the two. This does not agree with some of the other testimony. l The coroner's jury returned a veri diet to the effect that Mooney came to his death at the hands of Young 1 ^ ^ Onrii erorc* aim ovi u-fefeo. Race Question Causes Talk. I Tallahassee, Fla., April 12.?Cons sideration of Senator Perkins' bill to provide flags for all public schools in Florida caused some warm debate , in the Florida legislature to-day. [ Numerous amendments were offered ; and when it was seen the measure had created such a furor it was in definitely postponed by a vote of 10 i to 9. Objection to the bill was mainly on account of the negro question, an amendment, being introduced to s mane me negro propei L,y vwuci? bear the expense of the negro schools, which with other amendments diverted consideration from the original bill to the negro question. To Settle Cotton Dispute. 1 New York, April 12.?The establishment of a "central office" or clearing house in this city is the latest plan involved as a means of settling the long existing differences between American shippers and European buyers of raw cotton. Representatives of the sub-committee of the bills of lading committee of the American Bankers' association held a meeting here to-day with traffic agents of the Southeastern and Southwestern railroads and with Eu ropean interests as represented by a member of the Liverpool bill of lading cotton conference. The plan adopted was proposed, according to report, by the Liverpool cotton buyers. Local bankers are of the opinion that its acceptance will point a definite way out of existing difficulties and obviate the "bank guarantee" originally demanded by London and continental bankers. Today's meeting was deemed necessary in order to formulate plans "which would make it possible to handle the coming crop without friction." A committee was appointed to outline a system under which the proposed "central office" may be esX. J Joil fonHftno' TOTV Lit UilbilCU, UiViUllXg an Utvbiv/ua jl resentation.

McKenzie, who was left off the list of appointees for the Florence county board of assessors when the governor made the appointments, has secured an injunction from Judge Shipp restraining Mr. Hill, the governor's appointee, who was not recommended by the delegation, from qualifying, so that the auditor has notified Mr. McKenzie to meet with the board at its next meeting, which will , soon be held, as a "hold-over" memDer. Blood Given to Woman. New York, April 12.? Two hundred men called at Mount Moriah Hospital here in answer to an advertisement offering $25 for a quart of human blood. Most of them were penniless and ail declared that the monetary reward was their sole consideration in applying. G. J. Allen, a strapping sailor, was selected and for half an hour last night blood flowed from his arteries into the veins of Mrs. Rosie Reisler. Allen wanted to depart when the operation was concluded, but surgeons detained him until he recovers his strength. Mrs. Reisler, who had i lost blood through an internal hemorrhage, is on the road to recovery. I FAST TRAIN WRECKED. Southern's Fast Train Derailed Near ] Blackvile. Blackville, April 13.?Steel framed cars saved the lives of more than a score of passengers to-day, when i train No. 31, the Southern Railway's "Southeastern Limited," left the 1 track four miles south of this place. 1 The train was running over 45 miles an hour. The officials failed to de- I *- 11-- ~ * ll S J , jermm? me cause ui LUC acciueui. Ther were 43 passengers on the < train, but none were seriously injur- ; ed. The passengers were slightly jarred. The train was in charge of 1 Conductor Blanton, of Charlotte. All of the seven cars were thrown from ! the track except the two Pullmans. , Not one of the train crew was in- i jured. The wreck occurred at 10:10 j o'clock this morning, and the track . was cleared at 8:45 o'clock to-night. List of Injured. i The following is a list of those in- ] jured as announced by the officials of ' the road. 1 Mrs. Alice Hard, Allendale, hip 1 sprained. 1 Mrs. Etta G. Hahn, Chattanooga, * nervous shock. 1 M. S. Iverman, Cleveland, Ohio, bruised about forehead and leg. 1 C. C. Ferris, Winston-Salem, N.

Henry Williams, the veteran railroad i man and superintendent of the Co- 1 lumbia division of the Southern Rail- 1 way, who personally looked after 1 clearing away the wreckage. Various theories as to the probable cause \ of the accident were advanced. John < G. Richards, Jr., a member of the , railroad commission, inspected the ^ wreck. He failed to find the cause, ^ and said that it was a wonder that all 2 on the train had not been killed.

The train ? was composed of two Pullman cars, S a dining car, passenger car, combina- t tion car and a mail and an express e car. The engine was No. 11913. The t engineer was D. G. McAllister, of Columbia, considered one of the best men in the service of the company. All who witnessed the tumbled heap of wreckage along the track for over 500 feet wondered how it was * possible that no one was killed or ^ even seriously injured. Engineer , McAllister said that he was running about 45 miles an hour. He heard a grinding noise. Turning in his seat he saw the front wheel of the tender leave the track. The engine tore _ I itself loose from the train and was r brought to a stop several hundred ^ yards away. Seeing that the tender had jumped the track the engineer applied the emergency brake. This r brake is almost instantaneous on the a new type of locomotives used between t Columbia and points South. c s The Mail Car. j The mail car just behind the ten- * der, gave a sudden lurch forward and 1 landed 75 feet away from the track a in a cotton patch. The coach fell on J its side. E. A. Overstreet and J. T. t Thompson, the two mail clerks, were I not injured. 2 It happened so quick that they did I not realize that an accident had oc- c curred until they tumbled from the e side of the coach through a door to a the soft sand. The express car was c thrown across the track. It required I some time to remove this car. The I combination passenger and baggage ? car, used by negroes, was thrown 1 from the track and one end was i buried several feet in the soft sand. ^ There were a number of negroes in the rear car, all of which were very t excited. The passenger car, occupied 1 by about 20 passengers, was thrown a off the track. The dining car left the f rails. The two Pullman cars did not t leave the track. Although there was t a general shaking up, not a window- r glass in any of the cars was broken. s The trucks of all cars were torn away 0 and massed into a heap. A wrecking train was hurried to \ the scene as soon as possible. The s through trains were delayed for only one hour, having been detoured by the way of Fairfax, over the Seaboard Air Line. fc m r Mr. R. M. McArtha, who has been E superintendent of the Denmark oil t mill for the past two years, will be * superintendent of the mill here next ? year. 2 RACE ISSUE AT CORNELL. Protests of the Co-Eds Against Two Colored Girl Students. A special from Ithaca, N. Y., says: Disclaiming any intention of trying to obtain social equality with the white women students and denying that they are In any scheme to force the race question to an issue at Cornell, Rosa Vassar and Pauline A, Ray, the two young colored women whose efforts to get rooms in Sage * - - x. . college nave caused a great auu among the other co-eds, have issued a statement explaining their position. Rosa Vassar, whose home is in Lynchburg, Va., is a junior in the college of arts and sciences. Pauline Ray, who comes from Geneva, is a sophomore in the same college. Both are good students. In their statement they deny that they have consulted with any other negro students or taken any advice as to their course of action. They say they are not trying to force the race question to an issue. They say the first application to have rooms assigned to them in Sage college was made over a year ago. At that time Mrs. Gertrude A. Martin, the adviser of women of the university and t? general supervisor of the co-eds, told them that she had taken the matter up with Emmons Williams, the treasurer of the university, and they had decided that it would not be expedient to have the girls room in 3age college, which is the only woman's dormitory. The girls put in another application some time ago. They were moved to do so because they wanted to live nearer and in a more convenient place. The rooms they are occupying now are about a mile and i half from the university. It is un jerstood that if they could not get rooms in Sage they would not be ible to get near the campus, as it would be hard to find accommodations in the near-by roomingaouses. "We are not seeking social equali:y," they said. "We would live in Sage college, as far as convenience md comfort go, we would be as one with the rest of the girls, but in all ;hings social we would be as separate is two fingers on one hand. "We leave it to the trustees and relieve they will give us justice, but we know that Henry W. Sage would jive us justice were he alive." Henry W. Sage gave Sage college ;o the university. The trustees will neet here within a week or so and ;hey will _ have to decide the quesion, as a petition protesting against illowing the two girls to room in 5age college has been filed with hem. The petition has been signal by over 200 co-eds, a majority of he number in the university. "Casey Jones," of Kentucky. Recently a good deal has been leard about "Casey Jones." It has emained for a writer in The Nashrille Tenneseean to discover that 'Casey Jones," whose tragic end has >een immortalized in song, and whom nore persons have regarded as a nythical personage, was in reality k>hn Luther Jones, a native of Cayce, Kentucky, who lost his life in a raiload wreck at Vaughans, Miss., Jarch 18, 1900. In the beginning of his railroad ca ? ' - ?- ai? _ r i A eer, wmcn oegun ai me age ui is, iccording to the story, he acquired he name of "Cayce" Jones by reason f the place of his birth, which is a mall station on the Mobile & Ohio iailroad in Fulton county. It seems rery natural for "Cayce" Jones to iave been transformed into "Casey" is the pronunciation is the same. Tones was first a fireman on the Mo>ile & Ohio and later went to the IIinois Central. In 1890 he became in engineer and continued in that >osition until he met his death in a :ollision between his fast passenger tngine and a freight train. The ong is said to have been made up iriginally by an old negro roundlouse helper, and with varying words las been sung by the railroad negroes in West Kentucky and West Tennessee for many years. It is only n recent years that it has become a yorld wide favorite. As "Casey Jones" seems destined o immortality it is well enough to :now something about the person,lity of the much-sung engineer who ailed to realize his ambition to run rains "On the Southern Pacific and he Santa Fe lines." The story as lublished in the Tennessean at least ounds plausible, and in the absence ?f any information to the contrary, Casey Jones" will be placed on the ist of Kentucky's heroes of song and tory.?Louisville Courier-Journal.

A Devonshire lady once sent to her son a pair of trousers by book post, which is, of course, cheaper than parcel post. The postal officials wrote to her: "Clothes cannot be sent by book poet. If you will refer to the postoffice guide you will see under what conditions articles may be sent by book post." After a few days, the lady replied: "I have looked in the postoffice guide and find that articles which are open at both ends may be sent by book post. And if trousers are not open at both ends, I should like to know what is." Negro Flimflammed Lawyers. Spartanburg, S. C., April 12.?Jno.
