to charge advertising rates for any
notice that runs more than one

must treat every one alike, to carry
free notices week after week, would
soon fill all our space and tie up all

Mr H H King was summoned to
Camden Friday upon information
that on Thursday afternoon his
mother and brother had been seriously
hurt at the Camden Fair by an

aeroplane, WHICH ih uiaiwug a iauuing,
had struck and injured a number
of spectators, among whom
were Mr King's relatives. We are
glad to learn that the injuries received
by his mother and brother
were not so serious as at first reported
to be.
The pastor, Rev D A Phillips, requests
us to announce that Sunday
night next a special thanksgiving
service will be held in the Methodist
church here. An interesting and instructive
programme has been arranged
for this special occasion and
all churches of the town are invited
to unite with and participate in the
services. We venture the assertion
that everyone who attends will feel
a special delight in the exercises of
the evening. Let everybody turn
out and celebrate with the Methodist
brethren.
The hot supper and carnival, as
advertised in The Record, given by
the Cades school for the benefit of
the local school improvement association,
took place Friday night and
was in every particular a grand success.
There was chicken, turkey and
barbecue in abundance and prepared
to a queen's taste. And cakeswhy,there
was an array of them such
as we have seldom seen. These were
not only beautiful to gaze upon, but
in every one there was that genuine
. quality which made it delightful to
the palate and insured its wholesomeness.*
We were pleased to note
that the efforts of the teachers. Mr
H H Brown and Miss Jimmie Brit'
ton, and their patrons and pupils
were well and iiberally responded to.

Moore, the boy who started
the country to raising corn,seems to
have dropped out of public notice.
His successor is Ernest Joye of Williamsburg
county, S C, who has won
the prize in the boys' contest for the
second year in succession. The
Kingstree Record says his score this
year was 158 bushels, or 365 bushels
on one acre in two years. On the
prize acre this year there were 19,000
plants. The yield was 10,635
pounds of shucked ear corn, giving
approximately 84 pounds of kernels
and 16 pounds of cobs per hundredweight.
We wonder if there is a
North Carolina record any better??

AN EARLY MORNING WRECK.
Fourteen Box Cars Smashed to
Smithereens?Nobody Hurt.
About 4 o'clock Tuesday morning
j many of the residents in the
vicinity of the Atlantic Coast Line
depot were aroused from their
early morning slumbers by a thunderous
crash that seemed to jar the
very foundations of the nearby buildings.
The disturbance was caused
! by the wrecking of a heavy through
freight train running at a 35-mile
clip. One of the cars near the engine
had suddenly become derailed
across the track and thirteen others,
some heavily loaded, crashed into it.
The impact was terrific. Cars were
piled three deep in the air, rails
were ripped from the ties, trucks
torn from the cars,the platform shed
torn down and wreckage strewn in
every direction. Such was the spectacle
that greeted those who rose
early, rubbed their eyes and went
out to find the cause of the thunderous
noise.
It was the first section of northbound
freight No 212 and was in
charge of Engineer James Washman
I and Conductor T H Wheat. The
wreck occurred at the southern end
of the depot platform, tearing away
about fifty feet of the shed. The
wrecked cars piled on top of one another
and fell against the stanchions
of the shed.
The wreck is said to have been
caused by the breaking of a truck
bar, which caught and pulled up a
heavy timber near the crossing, at i
the southern ,end of the depot platform.
This timber caused one of the
front empty cars to leave the track,
when twelve others piled upon it in
a heap.
By daylight a wrecking crew from
Florence was on the ground,and under
the direction of Wrecking
Master Sessums, the work of
clearing away the debris and repairing
the main track progressed rapidly.
About 10 o'clock a second
I niM/.Vin(T nrow nrrivpd from Charles
VTA?viuu6 V4V,. ?
ton,bringing with it Division Super-1
intendent J C Murchison, who took i
charge of the situation and directed
the work of clearing away the demolished
cars from both ends of the
line. By 6 o'clock p. m. Tuesday
the right-of-way had been cleared
sufficiently to permit the regular
trains to pass on time. All through
trains were detoured via Lanes and
Sumter, but local trains Nos 79 and
46 came to Kingstree and transferred
passengers and baggage for
points north and south.
Fortunately no one was injured
but the damage and property loss
to the railroad company will amount
to thirty or forty thousand dollars.
One man,{supposed to be a"hobo,"
in nnu of the wrecked cars
ajvaiuft i?a wmv v ?
escaped without a scratch. The car
in which he was riding ran on top
of two others that were heavily
loaded with lumber, and was less
damaged than any one in the wreck.
Throughout the day Tuesday citizens
of the town and community
thronged about the depot manifesting
much interest in the work of
the wrecking crews and their wonderful
machinery. The children of
the Kingstree High and Graded
school visited the scene in a body in
charge of their respective teachers.
The wrecking crews are still at
work and it will require several days
yet to completely clear the wreckage
from the company's right-ofway.
