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. The new
schedule is the same as the one
that was in effect just after the
road was built, which was so
satisfactory and convenient to
our people. Darlington is to be
congratulated on the return to
the old schedule. The north
bound train now passes Darling
ton in the forenoon and the
southbound in the afternoon
We sincerely trust that this
schedule will be permanent.
The northbound leaves Char
leston at 6.50 A. M; Sumter, 10.-
15; Lamar, 11.06; Syracuse.
11.20 ; Darlington, 11.34; Mont
Clare, 11.49 ; Robins Neck, 12
M ; Bennettsville, 12.30 P. M.,
and arrives at Qibson 1 P. M.
The southbound leaves Qibson
at 4,05 P. M; Bennettsville,
4 15 ; Robin’s Neck, 5.05 ; Mont
Clare, 5.15; Darlington, 5.30;
Syracuse, 5.44 ; Lamar, 5.58 ;
Sumter. 6.54; and arrives at
Charleston 10.30 P. M.
Connection is made at Ben-
nettsvWle for all points on the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valiev
Railroad and at Gibson for ail
points on the Seaboard Air
Line.

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.

Reunion of the Survivors of the Inglis
Light Artillery.
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.

The Text of a Prohibition Bill for the
Legislature's Consideration.
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

BARN BURNING.
A Cciored Man and Woman Arrested
for Incendiarism.
On Saturday last Mr. O. D.
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.

BISHOP GRANBERY.
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.”

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?

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.

The Presbyterians of Cheraw Select a

[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.
