of clean politics and a strong,
Christian gentleman, and they found
in his knowledge of men and women,

i LAD KILLED BY TRAIN.
I Henry
Hartly, Aged 14, Meets Horrible
Death at AIcolu.
Manning, March 8.?Henry Hartly,
a white boy aged 14 years a son J. H.
Hartly, was run over and instantly
killed by a local freight train on the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at AIcolu
about 10 o'clock Thursday night.
He had been engaged in work in the
lumber mill with his father, and they
were going home after quitting work,
each carrying some firewood from the .. j
mill. Upon nearing the depot the boy
asked his father to take the wood as
it was heavy, and after pausing a moment
proposed that they cross the
track and go on home. Just as he
was in the act of crossing the railroad
a section of seven or eight cars that
was being backed- down the track
knocked him down and ran over him,
cutting his body almost completely
in two and otherwise mutilating it.
Coroner Gray held an inquest yesterday
upon the return of the train
crew. There was some conflict of
testimony as to whether the boy was
in the habit of swinging trains in the v
yard, but there was no evidence that
he had attempted to swing the train
that killed him. There was no light
on the end of the,train, it is said, and
though the engine bell was singing, it *
was seven or eight car lengths up the
track. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death by being run over by Atlantic
Coast Line train No. 333. without at
tempting to fix the blame on any one. ,

The young woman leaves home

therein. She comes here to
work, courageous in the face of the
salary, pitifully small compared with
the price of board in a decent place,
which you demand of her. She is cut
off from all social life, except the association
of her fellow teachers, who,
like her, are strangers. She works
faithfully five mornings in the week,
studies at night to keep u^ with the

of recreation corrects your child's ex-,
