TWO KILLED, ANOTHER HURT.
Misses Nell Cue and Pearl Hutto
Dead as Result of Norway Collision.
Columbia, March 11.?Two young
women were killed, a third badly injured,
and a young man painfully
hurt early last night, when the car
in which they were riding two miles
south of Norway, in Orangeburg
county, was demolished by southbound
train No. 21. The dead are:
Miss Nell Gue and Miss Pearl Hutto,
both IS years old. Miss Frances Sal
ley had her right leg broken, a. i.i
Garrick, a young man driving the car, |
was least hurt, one hip being badly
bruised. Miss Gue was killed instantly.
The head was severed from
the body, which was mangled. Miss
Hutto died aboard a train on which
she was being brought to Columbia
for medical attention. Her. chest was
crushed, and there were other in-1
juries.
Warning Misinterpreted.
The young people, all residents of
the Norway community, were out for
a Saturday afternoon ride and drove
to Willow Swamp church to a meeting.
The road by which they were
returning to Norway intersects the
Seaboard at Creco or William's crossing.
A negro approaching the railroad
from the opposite direction is
said to have begun to wave a warning.
Mistaking this for a signal to I
shut off the motor, that the animal
the neerro was driving might not be
frightened, Mr. Garrick brought the
automobile to a stop very near the
railroad bed. As a steep declivity
leads to the track, the car slid directly
in front of the train, which could
not be seen until it bore directly
down upon the automobile.
Robert Gue, brother of one of the
dead girls, is a member of Company
M, Second South Carolina infantry.
His regiment entrained in El Paso,
Texas, yesterday for the return trip
, to South Carolina for demobilization.
Immediately after the occurrence of
the tragedy, Gov. Manning made efforts
to get in touch with the troop
train, that Mr. Gue might be transferred
by faster schedules to South
Carolina. Miss Hutto was a student
at the Woman's College of Greenville,
and was home for a brief vacation.
Miss Hutto Dies on Train.
Seaboard Air Line train No. 22,
local for Savannah, left Columbia at
4:00 o'clock yesterday afternoon, arriving
in Norway at 6:08. The accident
occurred about 6:30 o'clock.
Miss Hutto and Miss Salley were
placed on train No. 22 which left
Norway at 8:30 o'clock last night for
Columbia. Miss Hutto died before
the train reached Columbia. The
body was taken back to Norway on
the midnight train.
Miss Hutto is survived by her
iatner, v. s. nuno, uuu iwu sisicio,
Mrs. J. J. Smith, Jr., and Mrs. Leon
Meetze, both of Norway. Miss Gue
is survived by her mother, Mrs. Marian
Gue, and two brothers; Robert,
who is a member of company M, Second
South Carolina regiment, and
Leon Gue, who lives in Virginia. B.
T. Garrick, the driver of the car, has
a brother, E. T. Garrick, who resides
in Columbia, being an employee of
the Southern Express company. Miss
Salley is the daughter of B. O. Salley,
M. D., of Norway. Both the
father and the mother came to Columbia
with the patient last night, as
did relatives of the late Miss Hutto.
THE RIDE OF PAULINE REVERE.
It Differed From Her Ancestor's and
Alarmed Her Guardian.
This is the story of the midnight
ride of Miss Revere. It was Pauline
instead of Paul?his great-granddaughter
from Dana Hall, who caused
the alarms in several Middlesex valleys
and farms.
Pauline, the great-granddaughter
of Paul, had left Pine Manor, postgraduate
school of Dana Hall school,
to spend the holidays at the home of
her guardian, Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer,
of Lancaster.
Well, it seems that hours went by
and Pauline didn't appear. Mrs.
Thayer usurped part of the Paul Revere
programme and started spreading
the alarm herself.
Meanwhile, Pauline was attending
scrupulously to the rest of her ancestral
duties. She was having the
ride.
Miss Revere took a couple of her
classmates along with her to Charlestown
and the historic spot whence
her celebrated great-grandfather, the
original designer of New England's
most famous tourist toured ride.
started out.
There she and her friends piled
into the fur robes of a specially
chartered sleigh and set out to do
Paul Revere's ride de luxe as it
should be done.
It was a great ride the girls had.
while the telephone company, several
telegraph operators and two railroads
were joining forces with Mrs. Thayer
and the Dana Hall school authorities
in a frantic search. The alarm ended
only when Pauline drove into Lancaster.?Boston

TO BE MADE CIVIL SERVICE.
| April 1 Postmasters* Appointments
j Will Be by Competition.
Washington, March 7.?Postmaster
General Burleson announced today
[ that after April 1 the appointment
of all postmasters of the first, second
| and third class would be subject to
| competitive examinations. Nominations
will be sent to the senate as in
the past, but in making the selections
the president will be guided by the
results of examinations and will send
in the names at the head of the lists.
Whether the civil service commission
under which fourth class postr%yn
/->Vi no cm Trill Pntl rl lift thP
iiiasicio aic v.iiu>3ku " i'i
examinations has not been determined.
The president's forthcoming order
will provide for a form of modified
civil service classification under
which all vacancies, whether caused
by resignation, removal or death,
will be filled by competitive examination.
Those already in the service
will continue without examination
until the expiration of four years'
terms beginning with their last appointment
and then will, it is understood,
have to undergo the competitive
test.
Hornet's Nest.
A hornet's nest was stirred up by
the announcement at the Capitol,
where scores of members were in
their offices preparing to lea." for
home. The order was roundly denounced
by some of the Democratic
leaders and several members construed
it as a move to get combined
Democratic and Republican support
in a politically uncertain house.
Representatives Rainey, of Illinois;
Carter, Oklahoma; Harris, Mississippi;
Wilson and Aswell, Louisiana;
Vinson, Georgia; Carlin and Glass,
Virginia; Dixon, Indiana; Rouse,
r% A O V* /v r?l at* 1/ or?_
<J UJLllloUli, rviiH-lldVO UiiU y ivgutucky;
Decker, Missouri; Gray, Alabama,
and Sims, of Tennessee, were
in a group of Democrats who called
on the postmaster general today and
who were told about the plan. Democratic'
Leader Kitchin, of the house,
delayed his departure for North Carolina
to go to the postoffice department
to register his protest.
Most of the congressmen who saw
Mr. Burleson went on the latter's invitation
to discuss the new plan for
systematizing postal accounting by
establishing central auditing postoffices
in county or district groups.
This subject was overshadowed, however,
when the news of the civil service
order was broken.
One Southern member asked if the
postmaster general had called them
there to ask their views or to tell
them what had been done.
What Is Going to Happen.
"I am telling you wh&t is going to
happen," he replied.
The postmaster general is quoted
as having told them that it was too
late to protest, as the order had been
determined upon, and would be carried
out. He intimated that he was
not the author of it, but that it was
a measure of efficiency and economy.
Another member suggested that
the order would put many -Republicans
in office, as many of the more
active assistant postmasters are Re
publicans retained Dy tfte Democratic
postmasters, and still another wanted
to know what would happen if the
one man certified from the examination
were a negro. The postmaster
general, according to those present,
replied that the examinations would
have to take place and there would
be "no special privilege to anyone."
A Western Democrat asked why
the order, if issued at all, should not
provide for certifying the three highest
in the examination as eligible to
postmasterships, as was done, when
the fourth class postmasters were
blanketed into civil service, instead of
confining the choice to the one person
who happened to stand the highest.
The postmaster general said
that congress had had the opportunity
of legislating to that effect, but
did not do so.
In the discontent voiced by members
after the conference some of
them complained that the order
would take out of political life some
of the most active supporters of the
representatives in congress.
A majority of the Republicans
joined with Democrats recently in re
jecting a proposition for putting all
postmasters under the civil service
when an amendment to that effect
was offered to an appropriation bill
in the house, although Republican
Leader Mann and a few others favored
it.
Unable to Return the Compliment.
A Yorkshire farmer was asked to
the funeral of a neighbor's third
wife, and as he had attended the
funerals of the two others, his own
wife was rather surprised when he
declined. He gave his reason with
some hesitation:
"Well, thee sees, lass, it makes a
chap feel a bit awkward like to be
alius accepting other folks' civilities,
when he never lias nowt o' t' sooart
of his own to ax 'em back to."?New
York World. . ,
Stood on His Rights.
"Why did you strike this man?"
asked the judge sternly.
"He called me a liar, your honor,"
replied the accused.
"Is that true?" asked the judge,
turning to the man with the mussed
up face.
"Sure it's true," said the accuser.
"I called him a liar because he is one,
and I can prove it."
"What have you got to say to
that?" asked the judge of the defendant.
"It's got nothing to do with the
case, your honor," was the unexpected
reply. "Even if I am a liar I
guess I've sot a right to be sensitive
about it, ain't I?"?Topeka State
