The race for senator from Florence county to fill out the unexpired term of Hon. Walter W. Wells, who resign ed in order to accept the position of ; solicitor for the third circuit, promis es to be very interesting. So far there are only two candidates in the field. Mr. N. S. Gibson, of Wjnona, ; who made an excellent run for this place last year, and Hon. W. B. Cause, of Cowards, who represented that coun ty in the house of representatives for four years. Both gentlemen are strong and the race will be interest ing. The election has been ordered for Tuesday, November 5. Following the announcement that Prof. John G. Clinkscales of Wofford College will not be a candidate for United States senator, a report has 1 been circulated in certain political circles that Gov. Ansel has tinder con sideration the matter of being a can didate in the race for Senator Lati mer’s seat in the senate. There are those who say that this is out of the ! question but regardless of these the report is current and is said to have been started bv a gentleman who has ' recently been in Greenville and was |in conference with some of the gover nor’s closest friends. Smith Williams, a well known l carpenter, was run over and Instant ly killed by passenger train No. 41 on the main line of the Southern rail way, a short distance west of the Drayton mill village and within a quarter of a mile of the Spartanburg , station, Saturday night shortly after 1 8 o’clock.

Tim merman, former State treasurers, that on account of the recent decision In the bond case by the supreme court, they are liable on their bonds for the money due the State and fraudulently taken from the treasury during their terms. This was so decided by the supreme court and within the next few days all of the bonds will prob ably be presented for exchange. As the state can not lose Iq the trans actions each treasurer will be liable on his bond of $90,000 for the amount lost during his administration. These treasurer’s bonds are liable for 20 years. L.

The bullet passed through the hand in which the knife wag held and into Good man’s chin. The ball has not been found, but the wound is not believed to be fatal. Wagoman was arrestpl and committed to jail. A Forme r Gaffney L*dv DIM In Charlotte. The King’s Mountain Herald has the following to say of the death of Mrs. C. S. Elam, who died in Char lotte recently: “Quite a gloom was cast over the town Thursday by the announcement j of the death of Mrs. C- S. Elam which 'occurred at the Mercy General Hos- i pital in Charlotte. Mrs. Elam had ' been in a critical condition for some I time and her death was not altpgeth- er unexpected. She had undergone several surgical operations at differ ent times and from the last one she : never rallied. The last operation was ! performed Wednesday and it wa» thought that the operation was suc cessful and recovery would result. Mr. Elam who was at his wife’s bed side returned home Wednesday night but early Thursday morning was ‘summoned to return, i “The remains were brought to Kings Mountain Thursday night on i No. 35 and were taken to the Moun tain View hotel where they remam- j ed until the services which were con- . ducted at the Presbyterian church : Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock by the pastor Rev. J. M. Forbis assisted by :Rev. J. J. Beach. I “Mrs Elam was before her mar- iriage Miss Corrie Ellis, of SoutlvCar- olina. and was about 40 years of age. She had been resident of Kings Moun tain for several years and during this time she made a large number of friends all of whom are greatly grieved at her untimely death. A large number of friends attended the funeral and followed the hearse to ! the grave in the city cemetery where the remains were interred in a cement vault. The casket and the mound iabove the grave were covered with a wealth of flowers as a token of the high esteem in which she was held by those who knew her. / “The town and the church have suffered a great loss in the death of this noble woman. Mrs. Elam was a consecrated follower of the Master and^ being a woman of great personal magnetism and exalted character, she was naturally a leader, and easily won to herself the love and friend ship of those who knew her. She was a member of the Presbyterian churcn, anj had been a consistent and active member of the cbcurch from her childhood. Her church and her home were the spheres in which she de- ligted to act, and in which her In fluence, gentle as the dew, was felt. She was a teacher in the Sunday school, and president of the Ladles Aid Society and will be missed by her associates more than we can ex press. She had been a great sufferer for several years, but in all her suf fering she met the world and her friends with a smile. She will be missed by her friends, but the heav iest blow comes to her devoted hus band who mourns the loss of a com panion who was devoted to him anu his interests with an unselfish devotion. “But we believe, while we mourn her loss here, her’s is an eternal gain, and while we are surrounded by sick ness, death and sorrow, she is bask ing in the smiles of the Redeemer’s love beyond, where there Is no sick ness, sorrw or death. “Sometime in April-kissed springs time, the flower we welcomed as the sunshine, droops and dies, but dur ing its life it inspired our hopes and performed our life with pure thoughts. It was so with the life of Mrs. Elam. “The sunshine of love could not warm her life nor the affection of friends and husband prevent her go ing. Her death went out like the ex halation of a sweetly fragrant minion of the woodland and In her stead was left only the beautiful memory—a memory that will last long in the hearts of friends and relatives.’ TWO EVENTFUL WEEKS.

After deliberating less than two hours Saturday afternoon the Jury in Superior Court which had in hear 3 ) ing the $25,00 damage suit brought by Conductor John D. Bowen, of Wil mington, against the Seaboard Mr Line for personal Injuries received in | the Hamlet wreck in July a year ago, returned a verdict awarding the plain tiff $15,000 and costs of the action. Fire discovered in the Hotel Berk ley at Asheville Sunday morning abut 3 o’clock created considerable excitement for a few mlnntes bnt did no damage. Smoke was discovered issuing from one of the rooms, and an alarm was turned in. The guests piled out of their beds, in the mean time the guests in the room jrhere the fire started was taken out fr*if suffocated with smoke. The depart ment promptly responded to the alarm, hot the blaze was extinguished before it arrived. * Mx. Fred Gibbon, the 22-year-old son of Mr. Nick Gibbon, of Mallard j Creek, was seriously hurt in a run away accident Saturday night near Charlotte. He had been to Charlotte and was on his way home when Die accident occurred. The mules he I was driving became frightened, ran, , threw him from the sart and dragged him a hundred yards or more, beating him on the ground, maiming and bruising him. The young man was ; rendered unconscious. One ear was torn completely off. Late Sunday af ternoon, Mr. Gibbon was doing fairly i well but could not tell anything about bow he was hurt. | If the plans of Mr. Sumner B. Ser geant do not miscarry, Charlotte will have another cotton mill before long. For several week* past, in fact over since he resigned his position as gen eral manager of the American Ma- j chine and Manufacturing Company, Mr. Sargeant has been making his f arrangements with the view of put ting up a small yarn mill west of toe city on the Seaboard Air Line road. He secured a most desirable site near the Hoskins Mill and expects soon to commence the erection of a suitable building. The machinery equipment will consist of approximately 5,000 spindles. A large freight-receiving ware house. 75x150 feet in size, containing several cargoes of tankage and a large quantity of burlaps anq manu factured bags, immediately on the water front at Navassa Guano Fact ory, four miles from Wilmington, was destroyed by fire before day Sunday morning. The fire originated evident ly from spontaneous combustion in the tankage early In the evening, but the mill force thought it had extin guished the flames, declining aid from the city. Between 1 and 2 o’clock Sunday morning, however, the fire in the takage blazed up again, and the entire building and contents were consumed. The factory force of color ed employes used the mill hose to fine advantage and saved the factory proper, this being in close proximity. The loss was fully covered bv insur ance. but the amount has not been estimated. The fire will in no wise interfere with the operation of the factory, it Is stated. . . ^ .. .
