Lancaster Eatiny Imported Cabbay
e.
It will perhaps he news to
most people to know that Lancaster
peoplo are eating cabbage
brought all the way from Denmark,
Europe. They are brought
across the ocean as ballast, and
consequently there is no carriage
charges 011 them except
from Charleston here. Hence
the reason they are so cheap.
And they are the finest, most
compact heads you ever saw,
and of excellent quality. But
isn't that funny, importing cab
bage from far-away Denmark?
It's 11 Mistake.
A report comes from Arkansas
by private letter that cotton is
bringing 12? cents there for the
best and 10 cents lor yellow cotton.
But that is hardly probable,
since it is worth at Memphis only
9 cents, and Memphis is the most
important market in that section
of the country. At Galveston
;iud Houston, which are both a
long way from Arkansas, the
market has not yet been over 9|
cents. It is not probable that
cotton would be worth more at
any other point in Arkansas than
at those places, in tact, it would
actually bring less on account of
ll. ? J 2 _ A. ...
ino instance it would have to be
shipped to get it to the oottou
centers.
Danf/erous Accident to a Yonmj
Lady.
Last Friday afternoon Miss
Cora Thomas, the 17-year-old
daughter of Mr. S. 1). Thomas
of this place, met with a very
serious accident. She was up
street shopping and started
across Church street toward the
store of tho Ileath B. & M. Co.
when she was struck by the
runaway horse of Dr. E. S.
McDow and knocked some ten
feet and landnd rm tho
.....w/v* v/i* IIIU iiai u
street broadsided. She was
picked up by bystanders who
found that she was insensible
for a time, and taken up into
Dr. McDow's office for medical
treatment. It was found that
her leg was broken above the
knoe and that she had received
a bruise on the side of her
temple, though this turned o*t
to be not serious. The broken
limb was sot by the doctors and
she was takon home and is doing
as well as could bo expected.
She had an extremely narrow
escape from an awful death.
If the end of the buggy shaft
which grazed her head had
9truck her squarely, she would
most probably have been instantly
killed.
Miss Thomas perhaps cannot
say just why she kept going on
across Church street when she
saw Dr. McDow's horso coming
at such a terrific rate. Somo
were calling to her from both
sides of the street to go back
and it is probable that she got
confused and frightened and
lost her self control.
Dr. McDow lost control of hi9
horse as he came up Main 9treot,
and seeing he could do nothing
with him, jumped out of the
hiiffffv iiwt t.liiu uul/.
QO J j - ?"?u aiwu \Jk 1111 . tt 111
Brown's house, and tho horso
kept on at lightning spoed, turning
into Church street and dashing
down that and into tho Cly
burn-Iieath Livery stables
where ho stopped after he had
gone to tlm back end of the
stablos, as far as ho could go.
Besidos the accidont to Mi6s
Thomas and some bruises Dr.
McDow got when ho jumped
out of the buggy, no damage
was done. This is the same old
horse that Dr. Poore rode while
in the Spanish-American war.
Death of Mr. J. W. Williams
It was a great surprise to the

Arch Street to He Extended.
The town council has decide(
to extend Arch street furthe;
eastward. At present its easteri
limit is where it enters Marke
street at the old Catholic grave
yard. It is proposed now t<
extend it through the graveyart
eastward to the eastern limit o
the town, somewhere in the rea
of Col. It. E. Allison's residence
Before this can be done, however
it is necessary to remove a bar
~ _ ii. - _ I - r ? * >
ritsr hi mo hiiiijjo ui an act OI m<
legislature establishing this oh
graveyard at the end of Arc!
street. After sevoral unsuccess
ful searches for this act, Senato
Hough, who has access to the
state library in Columbia, sue
ceeded in finding it. The act wai
passed in 1855. The necessary
legislation, whether it be simplj
an act repealing the old one, or ?
new act containing a repealing
clause, will bo had at the prosoul
session. Of course the graves
that lull in the limits ol the proposed
extension will be moved to
another portion of the cemetery
at the expense of the town. The
i western euil of this street is also
being opened up lurther west.

The Homicide Record.
According to the report of the
> attorney general there were
> 223 homicide cases in the State
; during the year 1UU2. This is
i a fearful record for a State with
i hut little over a million and a
t half of people. We venture' to
j say that ninety-nine out of each
; hundred were the direct result
. of carrying concealed weapons.
I Yet there are legislators who
? hesitate, even refuse, to vote for
i tho passage of a bill which
j would compel violators of the
law to serve 011 the chaingang,
or a law that would disfranchise
them. And why? Simply because
some white man would be
likely to suffer the ignominy of
