Hundreds of Half Burned Bodies
Lie Among the Ruins.
Two-thirds of the city of Hankow,
China, has been destroyed by fire durIng
the last ten days, following flghtlng
between revolutionists and loyal
troops. The lowest estimate ?f the
loes is $50,000,000. Four hundred
thousand persons are destitute. Hundreds
of half burned bodies lie among
the ruins. Many of them are the bodies
of women and children.
The customs house, the post-office
and the American missions have been
spared. The city has been looted, the
imperialists taking a hand in the pillage.
Imperialists officers tried to
check this work and executed a numf
ber of the soldiers. Refugees were
deprived of their loot on entering the
Rritish concession, cart loads of valuable
furs, silk and jewelry being
jp seized. It is suggested that the Red
Cross receive the proceeds.

quarters.
The David Hill Memorial school for

mission, has been looted, while,
In contrast, all the property in Wu

President Taft on Monday issued
his annual Thanksgiving proclamation.
/calling upon citizens of the
United States to celebrate Thursday,
the 30th day of November, next, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer. The
proclamation reads as follows:
"The people of this land, having by
long sanction and practice set apart,
toward the close of each passing
year, a day on which to cease from
their labors and assemble for the purpose
of giving praise to Ilim who is
the author of the blessings they have
enjoyed, it is my duty as chtof executive
to designate at this time the day
for the fulfillment of this devout purpose.
lllessinirs.
"Our country has beeu signally favored
in many ways. The round of
the seasons has brought rich harvest.
Our industries have thriven far beyond
our domestic needs, the products
of our labor are daily finding
enlarged markets abroad. We have
been free from the curses of pestilence,
of famine and of war. Our
national counsels have furthered the
cause of peace in other lands and the
spirit of benevolence has brought us
into closer touch with other peoples,
to the strengthening of the bonds of
fellowship and good will that link
us to the comrades in the universal
brotherhood of nations. Strong in
the sense of our own right and inspired
by as strong a sense of the
rights of others, we live in peace
and harmony with the world. Rich
in the priceless possessions and abundant
resources wherewith the unstinted
bounty of God has endowed
us, we are unselfishly glad when other
peoples pass onward to prosperity
and peace. That the great privilege
we enjoy may continue and that each
coming year may see our country
more firmly established in the regard
and esteem of our fellow nations is
the prayer that should arise in every
thankful heart.
"Wherefore, I, William Howard
Taft, president of the United States
of America, designate Thursday, the
3 0th of November, as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer and I earnestly
call upon my countrymen and
upon all that dwell under the flag of
our beloved country then to meet in
their accustomed places of worship to
join in offering praise to Almighty
God and devout thanks for the loving
mercies he has given to us."

From Burning House.
Displaying unusual presence of
mind Edgar Applegate, the 4-yearold
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Applegate,
saved himself from burning to
death by hiding in his mother's trunk
when a fire, which ho started while
playing with matches gutted his
home at Waynesville, N. C., early
Monday evening. The older McCraken
of Waynesville, rushing into the
house, seized the trunk and rushed
through the door with it to the yard.
The lid of the trunk was lifted and
the boy was found inside, badly
frightened but uninjured.

Despite the plea received from the
Turkish government asking for intervention
to stop the alleged atrocities
being committed by Italian troops in

the United States will, like England,
maintain a policy of "hands off."

All kinds of charges against the lawyer,

ENGINEER WAS KILLED
Train Wrecker Causes Passenger To
Crash Into Box Cars, Causing the
Engine to Turn Overr Crushing the
IJfe of the Engineer and Hurting
Others.
(Lawrence Robinson, colored ,was
arrested Monday, charged with the
breaking of the switch which caused
th?* wr?nk of Seaboard Dassenger
train No. 43, at Swansea, early Monday
morning, when Engineer W. Edward
Pritchard lost his life and Fireman
Prince Davis, Express Messenger
H. G. Freeman, and uMail Clerk
T. W. Moore were injured. No. 43
ran into an open switch and crashed
Into eight empty box cars standing on
the siding, overturning the engine,
express and mail cars, and tearing up
the track for a considerable distance.
Evidence showed that the switch
had been tampered with and bloodhounds
of Penitentiary Guard John
llobbins were put on the trail and
followed it to the house of Lawrence
Robinson, colored in the town of
Swansea. Robinson was away from

mill. The officers soon found him
and put him under arrest. He was
carried hack to Columbia and taken
this afternoon to Lexington and lodged
in jail. Robinson denies the
charge and protests his innocence.
He admitted, however, that he had
served a three years' sentence 011 the
Lexington chain gang, beginning in
11)03, for attempting to tamper with
a switch at Dixianna, on this same
read, pleading guilty on the charge
when arraigned in Court. Ho is a
negro of medium height and the only
distinguishing mark about him is his
lips, which are all covered with sores.
Constable Tod Martin, of Swansea,
took him to Lexington and turned
him over to Sheriff Miller.
Engineer Pritchard was pinned
under the engine and killed before
he could be rescued. Fireman Prince
Davis, colored, escaped, although he
was badly bruised and shaken up.
Express Messenger Freeman received
0 deep cut in the back of his head,
eight inches long, and his right
shoulder sprained. iSeveral of the
)t..*sengers were shaken up, but fortunately
the day coaches and the sleepers
stuck to the rails. Mr. Ed Pritchard,
the engineer, who was killed
in the wreck was a resident of Savannah,
Ca., and his body was shipped
there. He leaves a wife who resides
there.
The wreck occurred between 1 and
2 o'clock Monday morning. A freight
conductor, who went to the scene of
the wreck and who talked to the Columbia
representative of the News
and Courier, said it was plainly seen
that some miscreant had broken the
lock of the switch and caused the
wreck of the train. The switch lock
showed that some heavy instrument
had been used in battering it lose,
and this gentleman said he found the
switch lock all broken and hammered
up, about ten feet away in the weeds.
Bloodhounds were taken from Columbia
by officers, in an attempt to
follow the trail of the miscreant, who
is thought to be responsible for the
wreck.
The man in describing the wreck,
said that one box car was thrown
icross the main track by the force of
\he contact. He said that the hotel
keeper at Swansea stated that the hotel
shook from the effects of the contact
of the train with the stationary
box cars. He said that the box cars,
thrown upon the embankment by the
force of the contact, caused some
lumber nearby to be thrown over the
main track, thereby adding to the

damage resulted from the wreck, although
the wrecking crew soon cleared
the main line and allowed the
trains to get through.
Mr. Pritchard had been in the employ
of the Seaboard for some time
and was highly esteemed by the officials
and men. As stated, Engineer
Pritchard was pinned under the engine
at the time of the wreck. A leg
was cut off and there was a severe
cut on the chin, besides other bruises
on the body. Express Messenger
Freeman, who was injured by a gash
in the head and his right shoulder
sprained, is a new man on this run,
this being the second time he made
it. lie is a native of Jacksonville,
Fla.
The colored fireman, Prince Davis,
also resides at Savannah, and has
been on this run for several years. He
was able to walk off the train when
brought back this morning, with the
assistance of those attending him. He
is at a local hospital. Swansea is a
little over twenty-one miles from Columbia,
and the wreck occurred Just
fiv<. hundred yards from that place.
Whoever it was that tampered with
the switch and broke the lock did his
work well.
The body of engineer Pritchard
will be taken from Savannah to the
home of his mother, at Augusta, 'Mrs.

stated that the engineer who was killed
in the wreck was taking the run

While Cholera is Staging Within Its

"Annanias in his palmiest days
never wrote half as many falsehoods 1
and misrepresentations as have appeared
in the Italian press and in the
official statements issued by the Ital- j
ian government," telegraphs the cor- <
respondent of Reutar's Telegram Co.,
Ltd., at Tripoli, who arrived at Malta
on 'Monday.
He said the Italians hold, with
nearly twice as many men, half the
ground that they held three weeks i
ago. They have lost in killed and
wounded, not counting the sick, well
over 1,000 men.

Many Arabs have been killed and
vast numbers were shot in cold blood.
Now twenty-five thousand soldiers
find themselves with their backs to
the sea, cramped and confined, with
an active enemy within a few yards
of them and with cholera raging, for
despite official efforts to conceal the

cholera among the troops and the civ1
population is suffering so much that
whole streets in Tripoli have been
closed by armed sentries.
There has been no disgrace. On
the contrary the Italian troops have
fought with great bravery and their
officers set a noble example. However
the Arabs have advanced their
artillery and are shelling the Italians.
One shell dropped into General Caneva's
headquarters. The foreign mi?.
itary attaches have been kept aboard
a boat and not permitted to land, the
explanation being given that it would
be too dangerous for them to go on
shore.
The Turks and Arabs, the correspondent
says, hold the oasis, 15
miles long and from two to five miles
deep, where they can subsist on dates
and olives until April, meanwhile
harassing the Italians by nightly
raids. There are no signs of the Italians
preparing to advance. The correspondent
describes the spirits of the
invading army as demoralized. The
men expected a short and sharp campaign.
Instead they are lying in the
trenches with sand storms blowing
over or rains soaking them with continual
night alarms. They are disgusted
with the war and hate the
country. They long to return home.
For four days after the engagement
of October 23, the Italian soldiers
engaged in indiscriminate
slaughtering of the Arab population
under General Caneva's sanction, who
first issued a general order to shoot
all Arabs found with arms, but only
when caught by troops in charge ot
ofTicers. The troops complained that
numbers of Arabs had hidden their
arms and resumed their work as husbandmen.
Thereupon General Caneva
issued another order to shoot all
Arabs who could reasonably be suspected
of having borne arms.
The blood of the men was up naturally,
as they had seen their comrades
shot from behind and, it is reported,
even mutilated, though of
this it is impossible to ascertain the
truth. With their excitable temperament
and highly developed imagination,
the Italians suspected every living
soul of guilt, and for four days
gangs of soldiers, often withovt officers
shot every one they encountered.
Previous to October 23, the Italians
treated the Arabs with ctmost kindness
and it is only fair to say that
many Italian officers who looked at
the affair calmly afterwards, deplored
it.
The troops made a clean sweep of
that portion of the oasis in which
they were fired upon from the rear,
although there is no certain proof
that any Arab in the west end of that
section took part in the rising and
there were vast numbers of women
and boys who were perfectly mnoent.
Of these nearly all the men and
even the boys above a certain age,
were shot, and it is undoubted but
that a great many women perished.

The unusual tragedy occurred Friday
afternoon of last week off the
coast of Florida, but it was not reported
by Captain John S. Poyce until
the Mourns arrived at New York
011 Wednesday with her flags at halfmast.
The great swell, described as one
of tidal wave proportions, swept over
he Momus with a deluge like Niagara
and carried the three men overboard
as if they had been corks. Defore the
lifeboat could be lowered the victims
disappeared.
There were twenty-five passengers
aboard the ship and through the cabin
windows many of them saw the
men carried away.
A gale was blowing and the three
men were working on the forward
part of the deck when, without warning,
a tilad wave rose above the vessel
and .crashed thunderously down
ui)on the deck.
Chief Officer Deesch saw Nordberg
rushed across the deck and sprang to
his assistance. Doth went over the
side together.
Serge, the boatswain, was also
caught in the torrent and, impelled
by a lurch of the ship, shot overboard
after his companions.

A GRAND OBJECT IvESSON.
What a One-Horse Farmer Showed at
the Augusta Fair.
The Augusta Chroncile says one of
the most attractive displays at the
Georgia-Carolina fair, demonstrating
possibilities on a small farm, is the
individual exhibit of S. T. Adams, of
South Carolina, who is a small farmer.
The explanations accompanying
the display furnish a lesson that
could well be studies by any visitor
who is interested in modern farming.
The exhibit is made entirely from
Mr. Adams' small farm, which makes
it more worthy of note, in the estimation
of visitors. In it are found corn,
hay, sweet and Irish potatoes, meal,
flour, hams, bacon, panned goods of
all kinds, domestic ioods of all kinds,
the exhibit being complete in every
way.
It shows that the small farm possibilities
around Augusta are great
and there is really no limit to what
may be accomplished. 'Mr. Adams'
friends are congratulating him upon
the award of second premium for this
exhibit.
Mr. Adams was awarded the first
prize on baled cotton, lie only raised
two bales of cotton and entered
one and got the blue ribbon.
