TRAINS HIT IN FOG.
^ %
Head-on Collision on Southern in
Barnwell County?Four Injured.
Columbia, Nov. 20.?Two tramps,
one probably fatally and the other
ser.'oush, were injured, and .two
white passengers sustained hurts
when Southern passenger trains Xos.
23 and 24 collided head-on in a fog j
at Barton, in Barnwell county, some
eighty miles south of Columbia, this
morning at 3.29 o'clock. The engines
of both trains and express cars were
hurled from the track, which was
$ torn up for a distance of some yards.
T. A. Lloyd and David Simmons,
said to be two tramps, were, it is
said, riding between the engine and
baggage car of No. 23, the southbound
passenger, when the collision
took place. Lloyd was probably fatally
injured, while Simmons suffered
a broken arm and other bruises. Two
white passengers, L. C. Fanning, of
Sally, had his ankle broken, and Mrs.
I M. F. Myers, of Sandy Springs, was
slightly injured by being thrown
, against a seat.
None of the train crew was hurt
and only the engines and baggage
cars left the track, the remainder
of both trains sticking to the rails.
Superintendent Hudson was a passenger
on No 24, coming to Columbia,
and he immediately took charge
of the wreck, transferring passengers
and clearing away the debris.

to the scene and the wounded were '
cared for at once. The track was
cleared at noon and the Southern's
southeastern Limited, No 31, got
* through on time.
No 23 runs from Columbia to Jackv
sonville, and No. 24 from Jacksonville
to Columbia, and were about on
time when they collided this morning
in Barnwell county. Both carried
combination baggage and mail cars,
colored and white day coaches and
^ Pullmans. The cause of the wreck
isv unknown, but it is said that a
thick fog enveloped both trains when
they crashed.
Not Positive About Race for Senate.
Greenville, Nov. 19.?The following
statement was given out by Representative
Ai F. Lever here to day
in regard to the race for the United
States Senate.
"As to what my intentions are regarding
the Senatorial race, I am
J * MAvr + L in
pieptvieu tu sa,y kino.
"I am now representing the Hh
district in congress, and am chairman
of the committee on agriculture of
that body. To handle this powerful
committee is a man's joo. for it is
j the work of this committee in which
the farmers are most vitally interested,
and I do not propos e to Uis
sipate my energies and "neglect my
duties by beginning a campaign for
a position that is not now open. No
race for the Senate is now on and I
shall cross" no bridges which have
not been reached. I have found no
imperative call upon me to enter a
race that is not yet even begun. When
it does open, if patriotism and my
x conception of duty seem to demand
that I 6hould enter this contest, I
will meet the situation positively, and
irrevocably.
"I am prepared, however, to say
that under the existing circumstances
it is not likely that I shall aspire to
the junior Senatorship next summer.
Beyond expressing the probability of
my intentions I do not care to go."
While it is evident that Mr. Lever
has about reached a definite conclusion,
it is equally evident that should
there be any material changes in the
hp wnnlri fppl free to alter
"what appears to be a conclusion in
his own mind concerning his course
in next year's campaign.
Expensive Duck Shooting.
One of the largest duck shooting
clubs in California is supposed to contain
3,700 acres of land and water.
Of this amount perhaps 1,000 acres
are water, says the Outing. A. great
> deal of the land is. very valuable as
celery land, and were it not for the
club members, it would undoubtedly
5all
be drained for this purpose. I
was told that the initiation fee in
this club was $20,000, and that the
annual dues were $1,000 per member.
As there are 40 members, this
gives them $40,000 a year forerunning
expenses, and my informant
told me there had never been a year
that they did not have to make a
reassessment. In the year 1912 the
* expenses ran to $70,000; so, you see,
. this gun club business is not exactly
a poor man's game. This one property
controls "five miles of ocean
frontage.
He Had a Millionaire's Privilege.
i They had just became engaged.
"Oh, Will," she said, moving a
trifle closer to him, "I am so glad
you are not rich! They say that
some of those millionaires receive
threatening letters saying that something
dreadful will happen to them
if they don't pay the writers sum of
money."
"Oh, is that all?" replied Will,
"Why, I get plenty of such letters."
WANT MOB MEMBERS TRIEE
Spartanburg Grand Jury Ask Soli<

Spartanburg, Nov. 20.?Solicit
Albert E. Hill is called upon, in
presentment made to Judge DeVo
to-day by the Spartanburg coun
grand jury, to prosecute membe
ol' the mob who on the night
August 18 last dynamited the cou
ty jail in an effort to lypch Will Fai
a negro accused of assaulting a whi
woman. Four men are named by tl
grand jury as members of the lync
ir.g mob and bench warrants for the
arrest were issued this evening 1
Judge DeVore.
"After careful investigation in
the assault on the jail," the grai
jury reports, "we find that certa
parties, utterly disregarding tl
lives of our officers and the coun
property, did make an assault on tl
jail with the intent of taking tl
life of Will Fair. We present to tl
Court W. R. Belcher, Jesse Wolf

method of procedure followed in tl
grand jury's investigation, sayii
that to make it public might inte

alleged members of the mob, who a

The grand jury's actfon is withoi

He was tried at a special term <
Court and acquitted, though his a
cuser, the yc^ung wife of a farme
swore positively that he had assaul

the jury to be an hallucination di
to a condition peculiar to her sex.
Dillon Man Dead Beside Track.
Florence, Nov. 20.?Duncan Ca
michael, a young man of Dillon, 2
years old, was found by the side <
the Wilmington road this mornii
just outside the city limits, with h
head crushed in, his leg broken ar
the toes of one foot cut off. Tl
body was discovered bj the crew <
the local freight coming in fro
Wilmington and the body had not y
become cold. The appearances wei
that he had been put off a train <
gotten off. It is supposed that 1
was returning home possibly on
late night train or a very early mon
ing train. He was evidently sleej
ing on the track and was Struck 1
an incoming train or the erfrly trai
outgoing to Wilmington. Neith*
crew could report having struck
man at that point: His grip was ne*
him, the handle-broken off, and i
his pocket was a bloody handke
chief, as if he had wiped a bleedii
nose on it. His family was notme
and his cousin came here on tl
first train. The inquest could thro
no light on the tragedy but the jui
declared that he had been killed I
a train. He was unmarried.

Chicago, Nov. 20.?Albert Zinki
forty-four years old, shot and kil
ed his mother and himself today,
note found by the police said the de<
was committed because Zinkie ai
his mother were "hard up and bett
