LEE KILLED BY TRAD WHILE UNLOADING CAR OF BRICK. Scranton, April 17:?This towi was shocked last night when it be cam*: known that Robert E Lee, i well known citizen and business man had been struck and instantly killec by the second section of the south bour.d passenger train No 89,passinf here about 10 o'clock. ' J^st how the tragic accident oe curred cannot be clearly explained, as there were no eye-witnesses, mi Lee was supervising the unloading o: a car-load of brick and was working late in order to complete the job. The car was standing on the sidetrack on the east side of the mair track, and a gang-way extending from the door of the car across the main track was being used in the unloading. When the train blew the station signal one of the laborers left the car to remove the gang-way, leaving Mr Lee in the car. When the train had passed, Mr Lee was missing and on investigation was found lying dead against a telegraph pole, , some distance away. It is supposed that he attempted to leave the car and jumped immediately in front of the rapidly moving .rain and was killed. Magistrate 0 S Baldwin of Lake City held an inquest over the dead body this morning and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that Robert E Lee came to his death by being struck by the engine of a south-bound passenger train on the Atlantic Coast Line. Mr Lee was about 40 years old and was engaged in conducting a livery stable business. He held the office of town warden, was a member? of the Knights of Pythias and of the local oapusi oiuica. He leaves a widow and several children, The remains were interred in the cemetery at Elim, in Florence county, Sunday afternoon, Rev J W Truluck, pastor of the Baptist church,conducted the funeral service. Tbe Wires Worked Badly. In stating last week that Messrs J W Cook and P H Arrowsmith had , been promoted to the rank of Esquire at the last meeting of Kingstree lodge Knights of Pythias, w were in error as to Mr Cook, whose Knightly experience covers a period of several years?in fact, he nov holds the office of Vice Chancelloi in the lodge. The two candidate! promoted to Esquire were Messrs I H .Arrowsmith and S C Anderson. We got the names indistinctly over the 'phone, hence the mistake Mr Cook is a candidate, but not foj Knighthood just at present.

Well Known Williamsburg Firm ( ; Invests in Georgetown Property. j Georgetown, April 14:?One of I "the largest real estate deals that have been made here in a year or more is the sale of the old George1 town rice milling property. The _ I property consists of a three-story i iron-clad building, where the rice was formerly milled, an iron clad j storage house and an office building, all in good repair and substantially built. It is one of the best shipping depots in the city, having a fine wharf and slip for lighters on the northwest side. A line of railroad p track runs from the mill to the f regular railroad line. p The parties purchasing are the Messrs F and D D Rhem, of Rhems, S C., and associates. The firmsf F l F Rhem & Sons have large and , valuable holdings in the city and are extensively interested in many of the commercial enterprises. The new concern which is to be formed for orvomtion nf these nroDerties I , AVI VKV V|/VA MWavs* v* ( 4 just secured will in all probability [ be called the Rhem Terminal Company. What the exact nature of the I business will be has not yet been announced. However, it is encouraging to see these evidences of thrift and progress. The Georgetown rice milling plan; has been idle since the decline of the rice planting industry in this count} five or six years agfa, and there was not enough I rice shipped here for milling to make the mill pay expenses. Further particulars will be reported regarding the new purposes to which the plant will be put as soon as 1 given out definitely. Chance for Bright Boy. The South Carolina Division, U. D.

Coast Line Makes Slight Redaction on Truck Shipments. The State Bureau, Washington, April 14. The efforts of the Lake City Truck Growers' association, through their representatives, Messrs Bass and Epps, will meet with success to the extent of a slight reduction in the rates from the Atlantic Coast Line railway. The Interstate Commerce Commission today received a letter from the traffic manager of the road at Wilmington in reply to the complaint filed by Messrs Bass and Epps, which complaint was bac^d up by a letter from Representative Ellerbe and the rest * of the South Carolina delegation in Congress. In this letter the traffic manager says: "While, as stated above, we feel the existing rates are not unreasonably high, we are desirous of encouraging and developing the traffic to its maximum and as a help to the shippers at the points named we are today making application to your honorable commission for permission to make effective on less than statutory notice rates to Baltimore, Washington, New York, Philadelphia and points taking the same rates, 5 cents per crate less than existing rate, and to Boston and existing points taking the same rate 15 cents per crate less than the existing rates. "While the shippers have made no complaints about rates to interior Eastern points we are also making reductions in the rates to those points, the reductions ranging from 17 to 20 cents per crate. "As stated above, we believe the existing rates on vegetables from Lake City, S C., to Eastern points are now reasonably low and we do not feel that we can make any reduction in same."
