KKV. J. P. MARION'S SERMON.
llrl.'f Extract From a Forceful Ser?
mon l>ellTered Sunday Morning.
Rev. J. P. Marlon preached a very
interesting and forceful sermon Sun?
day morning on the Toung Men's
Christian Association, He spoke in
part as follows:
"For he that is not against us is on
our part," Mark 9:40. Jesus had
Just come down from the mountain
of communion. He found the dis?
ciples disputing among themselves!
who should be greatest in the king?
dom. He tells thera that service is
the measure of greatness, j
Jesus found the disciples jealous
of one who was casting out devils In j
the Master's name and y t followed
not with them. The disciples over j
jealous for their Lord's good name
forbade him. Jeeus said "Forbid him
not ? ? ? For he that Is not against
us Is on our part." The grace of God
'Is not bound t>y the visible church.
Some years ago there were many
good people opposed to the work of
the Y. M. C. A. because of their jeal?
ousy for the honor of the church. We
have learned that the organisation Is
not only "not aeralnst us" but for us,
doing a work which the church can
not do.
The Y. M. C. A. eeek to provide for
all the man, his physical, social, men?
tal and splriutal needs.
In the Y. M. C. A. building a young
man finds the opportunity to develop
his muscles in a clean atmosphere;
he meets his fellows socially and nnds
a club life free from evil Influences;
he finds a chance to read the best
books and magazines; he finds the
life of the "One Man" held up as the
Ideal and Inspiration of life.
The Y. M. C. A. means for our city
better men In every department of
life. I have heard a great deal dur?
ing the past few days about the Sum
ter spirit accomplishing this task and
I glory with you in that spirit, but let
us rise to a higher plane?the Christ
spirit, the spirit of unselfish service
must accomplish It.

who conducts a store near the Ham
rick mjlli, Just outside the corporate
limits of Gaffney, shot Forrest Pen
nlngton with a 41 calibre derringer
pistol at his store about 11 o'clock
last night.
Pennington came to the store some?
what under the influence of whiskey
and making some small purchases
had some words with some one in the
store. Hendrlx became involved in
the dispute, going outside with Pen
nlngton. who, it is claimed, had a
knife. Pennlngton crossed the road
while Hendrlx fired two shots, both
going wide. Pennlngton then turned
facing Hendrlx with the remark that
"By God, we will shoot time about,"
when another shot from Hendrlx
struck him on the end of the nose,
lodging in the back of his head.
Dr. Nesbitt, who called to see the
wounded man, says he will recover
if no complications set in.
Hendrlx is about 45 years of age
and has a family. He has not lived
in Gaffney very long. Pennlngton is
about 22 years of age and Is married.
Hendrlx surrendered to the sheriff
Immediately after the shooting and is

KXCTTEMKNT IX GREENVILLE.
Mob of Nearly Three Hundred Scours
Woods for Negro.
Greenville, June 26.?A mob of
from 200 to 300 men, determined on
lynching, have all today and tonight
been scouring the woods In the neigh?
borhood of Piedmont in search of
Bunk Sherrard, a negro, who this
morning about daybreak shot E. E.
Waldrop, a special officer, who with
three others went to Piedmont to ar?
rest Sherrard and other negroes who
were engaged in gambling there.
On the approach of the officers,
Sherrard took a single barreled shot?
gun and fired its load in Waldrop's
left side, the wound proving fatal in
about three hours thereafter. The
negro made his escape to the woods.
A crowd quickly gathered and up
to late tonight they were still eagerly
searching the woods for the negro
with the intention of putting a speedy
termination to his life.
The other negroes were captured
but were released to join in the hunt
and identification of Sherrard.

PERFORMED SIMILAR OPERA?
TION.
SumU'r Doctor, Before War, Provided
Negro With Artificial Silver Jaw
Bone.
Regarding an article published In
Monday's Issue of the Item, with the
caption, "'Jawbone Made of Pure
Gold," Judge Richardson informs us
that he was reliably told, many years
ago, that Dr. W. W. Anderson, Sr.,
father of "Fighting Dick" Anderson
and the present Dr. W. W. Anderson,
performed an operation similar to the
one described in the above mentioned
article, using silver instead of gold.
The operation, which was a complete
success, was performed on a negro
named "Old Prince." and Old Prince's
skull was sent to some medical mu?
seum, after his death, as a specimen
of Dr. Anderson'! skill In surgery.
Judge Rl< hardson Will try and ob?
tain the particulars and give them
to us at some future time.

THE BLOCK SYSTEM.
The Southern Railway Is Rapidly
Equipping Maiu Line With Safety
Dwloea*
Atlanta, Ga., June 28.?The bulle?
tin just issued by the Interstate Com?
merce Commission, giving the mile?
age of railways in the United 8tates
operated by the block system on Jan?
uary 1, 1910, shows that 2,080.1 miles
of track on the Southern Railway,
constituting thirty per cent of the en?
tire mileage of the system, Is now
equipped with this safety appliance.
Included in this are the entire main
line from Washington to Atlanta and
on to Birmingham, the line from
Bristol to Chattanooga, that from
Chattanooga to Atlanta and Macon,
and other important sections. In the
entire United States there are only
seven railway systems with a greater
mileage so operated than has the
Southern. No other railway In the
South operates anything like so large
a mileage with the block system.
The system In use on ths Southern
Railway Is what Is known as the
"telegraph block." Suitable sema?
phore signals ars erected at Intervals
of about fivs miles along ths road to
guide the englneman in the control
of his train. The space between these
signals is called a block and two pas?
senger trains are under no circum?
stances permitted in a single block at
the same time.
The working of this system may be
best explained by taking two block
stations, Gainesville, Ga.. and Oak
wood, Ga., for example. A train ap?
proaches Gainesville bound for At?
lanta. The operator at Gainesville
asks the operator at Oakwod if he
can have the block for the approach?
ing train.
If there are no trains between
Gainesville and Oakwood the opera?
tor gives the required permission and
both operators make a record of the
time, train number, etc. The operator
at Gainesville then clears the signal
by pulling it down to an angle of
about sixty degres below horizontal
after the train comes in sight. That
is called "clearing" the signal and is
done after the train comes Into sight
to assure the engineer that the sig?
nal is cleared for him and he will not
proceed into the block unless he sees
it go "clear". This assures him that
he is not taking a signal given a pre
ceeding train. As soon as the train
passes the signal the operator returns
the signal to a horizontal position, this
indicates danger, stop, and it remains
in this position as long as the train
is in the block. It will be noted that
two men, one at each end of the
block, must co-operate to allow a
train to enter, this provides a check
which effectually prevents mistakes,
It being unlikely that two men would
make the same mistake at the same
time.
To install this system has necessi?
tated the employment of a large
number of additional telegraph opera?
tors and the expenditure of a large
amount of money for line wire sig?
nals, etc., but the officials of the
Southern Railway believe that tne ex?
penditure is warranted because of
the safety it affords their patrons
from accidents due to collisions.

Jawbone Made of Pure Gold.
A remarkable opei ation has Just
been performed at the post-graduate
hospital. New York city, by which
a man has been provided with an ar?
tificial Jaw of pure gold to replace a
jawbone destroyed by disease. The
operation is said to be the first of
the kind ever performed in a New
York hospital.
Michael Wood, 54 years old, of
Greenwich, Conn., is the patient. His
disease had progressed so far that
Wood's family believed his death was
only a question of months.
Although it is not known to many
Sumterites, we have quite a carver
in our midst. Mr. T. C. Scaffe is the
man, and he showed the writer sev?
eral specimens of his work, this
morning. One, a carving In white
pine, of Admiral Dewey, is especial?
ly good.
As a health precaution the health
department should require all gar?
bage to be put in closed cans. Flies
swarm around the filth in the gar?
bage receptacles and are liable to
cause fever. These cans can be
bought for very little money and be?
sides being more sanitary they look
a great deal better than the boxes
and barrels now used.
Still, we always did think the Will
liamses were as good as the Fioose|
