Horne Killed, ItUKRy Demollnhed mid » Woiiimo Kndly Injured. Wordreachedh roTuisday uaornini that a woman had beon killed by a train on the Southern railroad some where between Thickety and Cow- pens. Ah is usual in such case 1 *, the details were meagre and the reports conflicting The facts as learned from an au thentic source are as follows: The lady’s name was Bell, wife Mr. W. W. Bell, a lineman of the Postal Tele graph company. Mr. Bell is engagtd in regulating the line of bis company which passes through this place and close to the line of the Southern rail way in some places. Tuesday morn ing he started out to inspect the line from Spartanburg up towards Gaff ney, and Mrs. Bell accompanied him in a buggy. At different points along the line Mr. Beil would get out of tne buggy to attend to bis work, Having his wife to do the driving. At one of these times they were close to the railroad track and at a crossing of the dirt road. Mrs. Beil attempted to drive across, either not being aware of the apnroHChiog of a train, or thinking jhe could get over ahead of io; out jut-t as the buggy got on the track t he locomotive of a north bound freight train was almost upon the un’ortuna e woman. She tried to baca the horse off; but the animal was no doubt frightened, and instead of either backing or going straight across he started to run down the track, directly towards the engine, it seems. The locomotive struck the animal, killing him instantly, tore the vehicle to pieces and dashed Mrs. Bell to the ground, breaking one of her legs and fracturing her skull. The badly injured woman was take to a house near the scene of the accident and medical aid summoned, and everything possible was done to alleviate her suffering. When heard from last, which was yesterday morning, Mrs. Bell was still alive, though slight hopes were entertained for her recovery. To Flay Hall at Spartanburg. The Gaffney Baseball Club will go to Spartanburg tomorrow to cross bats with Tucapau on the Wofford College ball ground. This will be the first engagement of the Gaffney team this season, and it is predicted that the boys will acquit themselves with credit. Capt. Hopper has his men in good shape and they will do their best to return home with the scalps of thej Tucapau’s dangling from the belts of the Cherokees. Things Theatrical. Mr. Harry C. Knox on last Tues day purchased the interests of Messrs. Walter Baker and Ed. H. DeCsmp in the H. C. Knox Co., who have been managing the 8tar Theatre the past season.

The following regarding this troupe may prove of interest to theatre goers: Madison, Ga.. Feb. 17th. 1903. To Whom It May Concern : The Wages family delighted large audiences here upon two occasions with musical entertainments. These occasions were pure, clean and elegant in tone, and were highly appreciated. The family deserves patronage. The baby girl is a marvel. i.Rev.) W. 8. McCarty A New Departure, Attention is directed to the new departure of the Merchants and Plant ers Bank—that is the saving depart ment. This bank has made arrange ments with C. O. Burns & Co., origi nators and manufacturers of a patent ed savings bank similar to a child’s bank, and when a depositor opens an account in the savings department ho or she is given one of the small de posit boxes to take home, the idea being to deposit loose change in this box and then transfer it lothe bank account when convenient.
