(By Telegraph to G reenville News.) Atlanta, June 25.- Tho worst wreck ever known in the South oc curred near McDonough, Saturday night, twenty-eight miles from here. The entire train crow and twenty six passengers woro killed. Only nme passengers wvre rescued, all of whom were more or less seriously injured. The wreck occurred at Camp creek, one and one-half mils north of Mc Donough, and wias caused by the undermining of th culvet at that point and the caving of the embank mont. The crow consisted of J. T. Sulli van, engineer; W. A. Barclay, con ductor; H. R. Cressman, Pullman conductor; W. W. Bonnett, baggage master; J. J. Quitflan, flagman, and W. H1. Green, Quinlan being the only one to escape death. Arriving at McDonough, the usual stop was made, wl-on tlie train pulled out for Atlanta. The train was runnuing pretty fast when it reached Camp creek, but the culvert was so well construcled that Engineer Sullivan -' ve no thought to the possibility of a washout there, and before he knew of his danger he had plungod lifty foet int.> the rag ing torrent below, f.k covkaes piling up on top of the vq*ie int he gorge. Fire followed the %.rek and those who would otherwina hnvo escaped with their livos periihed in the flames. The sceno beggars decrip tion. All that reniained of the tran was a mass of ruins, the coaches be ing completely demolished. Flagman Qninlan. though badly injured, escaped froin the wreckage and carried the news of the disaster to McDonough. The northbotnd freight was hold up and a rescuing party hurriedly organized, but when they reached the wreck they were unable to do any thing, owing to the heavy rain, un til daylight, when the banks of the swollen stream were strewn with dead bodies. Of the forty people on the train many of them were employees, who - live in Atlanta and were returning home to spend th4 Sunday with their families. Some of the bodies were badly mangled, showing they had been crushetd to death, while others were partly burned. It is presumed that several met death by drowning. The occupants of the Pullman all escaped death, but were all more or less seriously injured. The rescued tell harrowing tales of the flames immediately following the wreck as well as detailing many deeds of heroism.

Friendship is not like asparagus-a plant that shoots up iii a nigjit and is then ready for the knife. It is rather like the hickory or the oak, of gradual growth and solid fibre. As it is the wood which has been "sea soned" by long exposure to wind and weather that emits the hottest fire, so the friendships that have been seasoned by many years of sun and storm produce the warmest glow. An eccentric old man in London hung out an auctioneer's red flag over his front door; he said that lie did it to "weed out the false friends who would make off if they thought that he had come to bankruptcy." A rather sharp stroke of humor was that device; and there are quite too many who are ready to halt their ca-riages before the door of a fine mansion, but who have very fewv by-streets and back-lanes on their visiting lists. Prosperity breeds friends, adlversity tests them. Theodore L. Cuyler. The Church Tramp. "What church do you attend?" was once asked of a bright young fellow, doing business in one of our large cities. ''Oh, I just run around,"' lie an swered, gaily, "I don't understand the difference between the church es; in fact, there is a greait deal in the Bible itself that I don't under stand, and until I do, of course I can't join any church.'' "IHow many hours a day do you spend studying this matter?'' asked his questioner. ' "Hours?" lie repeated, in suir prise. "W\ell, then, minutes?'' Thle young mani was du1mb. '"Ah,'' said his companion, with patient sadness, "'not one! If you thought a knowledge of. geology necessary to y'our1 success in life, or astronomy, o-shorthiand, you would not think of spenin;g less than one hour a day ini its study, perhaps three; and you 'would nt expect to know or unde'rstand it without that exertion. But the knowlecdge of God, of Jesus Christ, of salvation --the highest and deepest of all knowledge-you sit around and wait for, as if it would- come like a flash of lightning."-O::- Young Folks.

Malkes Trces Out of Rose iuaheg And now a Massachusetts Yankeo cones to the front with a plan to make violets as big aw ourrant bushics which there is practi(illy no limit to the size to grow. Two Years ago Gardner 'M. Sher m:m, a mechanic of Springfield, M:iss. sot out jwo rose bushes of the saino kind and sizo in his gar(de). One of the bushes wis planted iii th(3 earth in the ordinary way. The other was arrangod with its roo's twined about small cylindor of porous uatoi;al, with an open tubc running to the bot Lom of the cylinder and projecting above the surface of ground. Into this tube ho poured daily a solution of ammonia, manure and sulphuric acid. At the end of two years of this treatment the rose bush planted in the ordinary way had grown to be three foot in height. The bush which had been artificially fed stood more than fifteen foot tall at the samo time. On the smaller bush during the second yoar thero were but seven roses, while the larger bore during the same season more than 1,00o magnificent roses. This season a number of prominent horticulturists will experimnnt with Mr. Sherman's device; including the scientists at the State agricultural experimental station of Massachu setts.

McClure has secured from Rudyard Kipling a series of stories of the South African war. The first, entitled "T"he Outsider," will appear in the Jily iinber of McClure's Maga.ine. This story introdices a youing ignorant bu1t self-important Subaltern detailed to the command of a remote railway station who gets into serious trou ble. As a character study, this is one of the mliost vigorous and amius ing stories Mr. Kipling has ever written. In the July McClure's appears a sketch of Bryan by the well known Kansas journalist, William Allea White, autlior of "Hoyville Sto ries. 'This is the first of a series of pen portraits of political celebri ties by a writer particularly qiali flied to write of both their public aid private life. The article contains a shrewd estimate of Bryan's politic., career and throws iieh ligi '.1 the causes of his popularity. An article that will attract ticular attentiion at this time is th. in the July McClure's on "Railway Development in China,"' by Mr. Barclay Parsons, with illustrations from photographs and maps. Bret Harte contributes a story of a ro mantic episode in a California mi nI ing camp, and Cyrus Townsend Brady writes of the "''Fall of Que bec.''
