A NEW SCHEDULE. A Welcome Change on the C. S. & N. Railroad. A complete change was made in the schedule of the Charles ton, Sumter and Northern Rail road on Monday last.

Swan down floui in h barrels, McCall & Burch. is Shot by Mistake f Squirrel. [Pee Dee Index Oct. 12 ] We learn that an unfortunate shooting occurred in Florence last Thursday, the particulars of which we give below : Mr. T. R. Oglesby was squir rel hunting in the woods near town, and on observing the shaking of some densely matted bullace vines, and not being able to discover the object in the vines, concluded it was a squirrel and discharged his gun in the direction of the commo tion. Waiting a few minutes, and not hearing any noisef at the second shaking of the vines he discharged the other barrel, when the voice of a man cried out, “Hold on boss, for God’s sake don’t kill me,” when a large negro man came half fall ing and half clambering down the tree. When Mr. Oglesby discovered that he had shot a man instead of a squirrel, he ex plained to the negro that he had taken him for a squirrel and told the negro he should have hallooed toliim not to shoot the second time ; but the negro says he was so frightened he did not know what to do or say. The name of the negro is Daniel Roberts, and says he is from Savannah, Ga., and has been working in Florence at some one of the brick yards and had pone out bullace hunting. Mr. Oglesby hurried to the city and had a hack’sent af ter the wounded negro and car ried him to Dr Evans’s office, who dressed his wounds. While the occurrence was unfortunate and might have resulted fatally, the negro is not seriously wound ed, and attaches no blame to Mr. Oglesby whatever. Fell From «Tree. Ti little Chariie Rogers, aged about ten years, the son of Mr. W. J. Rogers, was in a tret on his father’s place gathering walnuts, he lost his hold and fell to the ground, a distance of about thirteen feet. He was very painfully injured about the face. His wounds are not ser ious and he is now better. Sewing machines from up at the Book Store. I have for sale $200 worth of oil mill stock and $100 worth of phosphate company’s stock. E. E.

The reunion of the survivors of the Inglis Light Artillery, otherwise known as the Charles Buttery, was held at McCown’s mill on Friday, for the purpose of organizing a survivor’s as sociation, in accordance with the notice previously given in The News. In the temporary organization J. E. Nettles was made chairman and G. H Carra- way secretary. A permanent organization was effected as follows: J. E. Nettles,president; G. M. McCown, vice president; W. D. Woods, secretary; R. B. Nettles, Ephraim Knotts and J. C. C. Gandy, committee on ar rangements. The officers are to serve for one year. The an nual meeting will be held on the last Thursday in July. The old soldiers spent the day very pleasantly in talking over war times. They also enjoyed a bountiful dinner—the repast of peace,in marked contrast to the hard tack and bacon that the veterans were accustomed to in the camp life.

Representative Bleaso, of New- bery, has prepared thefollowing prohibition bill, which he pro poses to introduce at the next session of the Legislature : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now metand-sittingin General As sembly, and by the authority of the same: Section 1. That from and af ter the first day of April A. D. 1893, no person shall manufac ture for sale, sell, keep for sale, exchange, barter or dispense any intoxicating liquor, wine beer or bitters for any purpose whatever in this State: rrovid ed. That nothing contained in this Act shall prevent ministers of the Gospel administering wine to communicants at the altar. Sec. 2. Any person upon con viction of violating this Act shall be punished by a fine of not less than five hundred dol lars or more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned in the State Penitentiary for a term of not less than five or more than ten years for each offense. Sec. 3. That one-half of said fine shall be paid to the inform ant and the other one-half to the free schools of the county where said conviction is had.

Lee swore out a warrant for the arrest of George Wingate, col ored, and Lizzie, his wife, on the charge of having burned his barn on the Saturday previous. An account of the burning was given in the last issue of The News. Mr. Lee had no insur ance on either the barn or its convents and his loss amounts to about $700. He has reasons to believe that the parties named burned the building and, there fore, had warrants issued foi their arrest. Deputy Sheriff Carter repaired to their house, which is <n Mr. Lee's p’ace, and captured them about three o’clock on Monday morn ing. They are now lodged in jail. The woman hasan infant, too young to be separated from its mother, so it, too, has been brought to jail.

Medical Treatment Will Probably Re- •tore hit Health. [Southern Christian Advocate.] The Richmond Advocate gives us the following, which is the latest news we nave had from Bishop Granbery : “The infor mation received of Bishop Gran bery’s condition is in every way favorable. He will probably remain at the Johns Hopkins Hospital longer than was ex pected, and will have to forego holding the Holston Conference (which Bishop Fitzgerald will attend in his stead October 14;) but there is every reasonable ground to believe that he is re ceiving treatment which will completely restore his health and give him a new lease of life. We should be indeed grateful to God that his usefulness is so likely to be prolonged and in creased.” Pianos and organs cheap the Bookstore. at White Pearl, Yellow Danvers and white waxonien sets, 20 cts per qt, at Mrs. R.

[Exchange] Nancy Hanks has trotted a mile on a regulation track in the wonderful time of 2.04. At the opening of this season the record held by Maud S. on the same stye of*track was 2 08 2 3. Is it not astonishing that the apparently impassible space be tween that and the two minute mark has within a few months! been bridged by more than half? About ten years ago Prof. Nipherof Washington Univer sity made a mathematical com putation with a view to deter mining the ultimate speed of the American trotting horse. His computation was based up on data gathered by Prof. W. H. Brewer, of Yale Univer sity, who had made a study of trotting records form the ear liest time. Prof. Nipher plot ted a logarithmic curve which, tested by the facts, proved ap proximately correct for all past time. According to this curve a horse would appear in 1892 that would trot a mile in 2 07, flat ; in 1900 the mark of 2 04 would be reached ; in 1950, 153 would be at ained, and finally in 2000 a horse would appear capable of trotting in 1 41, which by the professor’s compu tation would be within a sec ond of the final speed. Nancy Hanks, in trotting in 2 07 some weeks ago, made good the prohecy of Prof. Nipher's logarithmic curve plotted ten years ago, but now in trotting a mile in 2 04, she has reached the speed which was not to ap pear until 1900. The two min ute trotter seems to beacertain- ty, and the animal may already stand on iron. The question has now become—how soon will the trotter go as fast as the runner? Maud—Now when I am asked to sing I never say, “Oh, I can’t!” but I always sit right down at the piano. Mamie—And let the audience find it out for themselves ? Yes? -Truth.

WHITE MEN, READ THIS And You Will Then Have no Desire to Desert Democracy. [Washington National Republican.] With the 1 odge national elec tion law [the “force bill”] in full force in the Si u:h and var ious Democratic strongholds up North, we may confidently look for a different state of political affairs than now exists. New York city will then return sev eral more Republican congress men than at present, while more than twenty negro representa tives from the South will render the Republican control of the future congress absolutely safe and sure. Heavy taxes should be laid upon the property of the whites to develop and extend the pub lic school system of these states. Separate schools for the two ra ces should be abolished, and the pi n of bringing the youth of both colors into close and equal relation in schools and church es given a fair trial, as one of the most potent elements to break down the detestable Bour- bonism of the South. The state laws against the in ter-marriage of the races should be repealed, and any discrimi nation against the blacks in the matter of learning trades or ob taining employment should be a criminal ofl ence while the col ored man’s rights to hold office should be sacredly pioticted and recognized. A few years of this policy will solve the race problem satisfactorily. Buy an improved White sew ing machine at the Book Store. A PREACHER"CALLED. The Presbyterians of Cheraw Select a New Pastor. [Cheraw Reporter.] At a meeting of the Presby terian congregation last Sunday the Rev. B. P. Reid of York County was unanimously called to take charge of the church. Mr. Reid preached in Cheraw a few weeks ago and the people were very much pleased with him as a man and a preacher. As the congregation was so un animous in their opinion of Mr. Reid it is to lie hoped that he will favorably consider the call and will soon be installed in his new charge.
