FLORENCE WOMAN BADLY HURT. ^
Mrs. E. J. Jeffords Injured when ^
Train Strikes Automobile.
Florence, Nov. 25.?The deadly
Evans street crossing, of the Atlantic 0
Coast Line, in this city, came very q
jaear claiming three more innocent ^
^victims, when train No. 80, the north- f,
bound passenger train from* the 3
south, was entering the passenger
yards here this morning. c;
Mrs. E. J. Jeffords, wife of Capt. r
Evander J. Jeffords, of the Flor^fnce- sj
Hartsville run on the Atlantic .Coast t<
Line, was coming up-town, driving j(
on oiitnmnhile Seated in the car
with her were her litle son. Master b
Dede Jeffords and her sister-in-law, b
Miss Bertha Lechnor, of Timmons- a
yille, the latter of whom Mrs. Jeff- a
ords had jnst met at the Atlantic a
Coast Line station and was taking her
to her home on South Dargan street. \
,Just as she approached the crossing, b
train No. 80 was seen t^ be bearing f(
down heavily upon the machine and a,
before Mrs. Jeffords could get across a
the track, the pilot of the locomotive n
struck the machine and .hurled, it.to b
one side, breaking it up and throwing b
Mrs. Jeffords out and against an iron b
> post that was placed to keep wagons tl
from using the right of way. . ^
Miss Lechnor and little Dede Jef- g
fords, seeing their danger, jumped 0
from the machine just before it was
- , struck and managed to escape with- K
- out a scratch. It is thought that ti
Mrs. Jeffords became confused and
did not have time to think of jump- f{
ing to save herself from injury, and jx
_ was caught in the machine when it S1
was struck by the locomotive. In a c<
moment after the accident occurred, t(
-which was witnessed by a number of f<
persons who were passing, Mrs. Jef- fi
fords was quickly taken up and rush^
ed across the street to Dr. William b
Ilderton's Infirmary, where medical ti
attention was promptly given her.
Upon investigation it was found that
her head was badly gashed, her face f(
lacerated and her collar bone broken.
Her wounds were dressed and she is
Testing easily this evening.
Train No. 80 was in charge of ^
<Capt. Jack A. Cutts, with Engineer
Holdron at the throttle of engine 900.
-one of the big copperheads, and was
ooming in the yard at an ordinary t<
snm>d wh#>r? thp locomotive struck h
the machine. The machine was badly r<
wrecked, but can be repaired. o
This crossing has been the bone of n
contention for years and years, and d
only recently, after great agitation in f<
the last municipal campaign, the v
crossing being one of the issues, the ii
city council, instead of compelling the a
Coast Line to place gates at this and si
other crossings, and permitted the h
Coast Line to have their way in the g
matter and place a flagman, instead h
of gates, at two of the half dozen s;
crossings that the people think need
the protection of gates. As a* result
- , of the accident this morning, many
Florence people have in no uncertain ^
words to-day condemned city council t(
and the Coast Line for what seems CJ
to be a disregard of the public's tj
rights in not providing adequate safe- si
guards at the variouscrossings.
BROTHER IDENTIFIES DEAD MAN S<
EEfs&v. - \
E
Supposed Tramp at Allendale was W. c
F. Emerson, of Binghamton, N. Y. e:
Allendale, Nov. 22.?The body of jj
the supposed tramp, who died here ^
some days ago, and who before ex- ?
piring gave his name as James
White, was identified to-day as W. J
F. Emerson, of Binghamton, N. Y., u
hy G. L. Emerson, of Sayre, Pa.,
whom the dead man had named as a
half brother and who was communicated
with by the authorities here. C
It was stated that W. F. Emerson, a
the deceased, was wanted in his home t<
town, Binghamton, N. Y., for the t
murder of his wife some time ago, g
and that a reward of $500 had been n
offered for his capture. The sheriff n
of Broome county arrived in Alien- ?.
dale yesterday. The body will be dis- t
Interred to-morrow and taken to b
Binghamton for burial. t
The means of identification by his a
brother were a ring 011 the finger of i
the dead man, his clothing and the k
handwriting on some letters in the ii
pockets. It is recalled that the man r
came to Allendale some days ago and r
became ill; he was cared for by the t
people of the town and when he died f
was buried by the Masons. c

YOUXG MAN KILLED.
rover Turner Struck by Engine on
Atlantic Coast Line.
Scranton, Nov. 22.?Mr. Grover

farmer of Hannah Postofce,

lallory, and Mr. J. F. Creel, of Ap-|
alacholia, Fla., were standing atj

ae Orangeburg train and received I
ainful but not serious injuries by
ae body of young Turner being

truck by the moving engine. They
ere immediately carried to Dr. W.
. Lynch's office and received medial
attention.
All of the gentlemen came to
cranton this morning to take the

hile waiting for the arrival of the
rain, young Turner went to Mr. R.
?. Cannon's stables, a short distance
rom the depot, to leave his horse

tables the extra engine ran up, goig

hen in about one hundred and fify
feet from the depot and his body
as thrown through the steps of the
epot, death resulting instantly.
Magistrate O. S. Baldwin at once
mpanelled a jury and held an inuest
and the following verdict wis
mdered: "That the deceased came
> his death by running in front of a
loving engine on the track of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Comany."
Physicians who examined
tie body stated that death probably
ras caused by concussion of the
rain and internal injuries.
No Time for Discouragement.
When the war ended in the spring
f 1865 a private of the 3d South
arolina cavalry rode his war horse
ome, to find no food for his faithful
il steed in his lot buildings, not a
ozen miles from Barnwell.
Fortunately his good wife bad
aused a small field to be sown in
ye the fall before. On that crop the
Mdier made a plenty of corn, potass,
etc., and was never again as
>ng as he lived short of home raisd
provisions. He would turn his
orse in the field at sundown, let
im graze all night, plough him next
ay, giving a bundle of the rye stalk
nd heads well soaked for the miday
feed. ^

irginia, found his plac^ and neighorhood
burned [clean of provisions
)r people and animals. Yet he manged
to get, through without making
debt and at Christmas there was a
lodest, but sufficient, supply of
ome-made provisions in his smoke
ouse and barn. Then he said to his
elpful wife: "We have got through
lis year without going in debt and
e can never see harder times. We'll
o through the rest of our lives withut
buying anything on credit."
Another ploughed his milk cow and
lade that year the beginning of easy
mes for the balance of his life.
In disastrous 1881 a /two-horse
irmer made 30 bushels of corn. Telllg
us of his experience the next
ammer he said: "We saved that
irn for bread. Our hogs were fatjned
on pindars and our work stock
?d on pindar hay and nuts until a
n^ oat crop was ready for them."
