Wagon is Demolished by Train hut Negro and Mule Escape Unhurt, A negro, whose name ?an not bt ascertained, had a narrow escape from death yesterday afternoon when his wagon was struck by Atlantic Coast Line passenger train No. 53, coming from Columbia, on the cross? ing on the Sumter side of Green swamp, and almost completely de? molished, the negro and his mule, however, escaping uninjured except for a few slight burlses. From what can be learned It seems that the negro was going to his home from the city about 6 o'clock yester? day afternoon, driving a mule hitch? ed to his wagon. When he came to the crossing on the side of Green swamp nearest the city, he attempted to cross before Atlantic Coast Line Pas? senger train No. 53, Greenville to Columbia, reached him. with the re? sult that his wagon was struck be? tween the front and back wheels, he being- thrown out but escaping with only a few minor bruises, and his mule also succeeding in escaping in? jury. The train was going at a lively clip when the accident occurred, and owing perhaps to the steep grade, the engineer was unable to stop his train, although he applied the emergency brakes, until he was some distance past the crossing. As soon as it was found that the negro was unhurt, the train proceeded to the city. Just after the accident occurred reports were circulated that a negrj had been killed by a train near the cotton mill, but the above mentioned accident was responsible for these re? ports. Despite the lateness of the season the summer travel Is still heavy, as Is evidenced by the fact thnt an ex? tra coach is still addod to the Green? ville train at this point almost every day. Notice. It Is the time for fall trade and why not give the firm your business th >t has kept prices down at the bottom since January 3rd, 1910. It's the Union Brokerage Co., Phone 544. ?-22-3t-T-w Bad Cough.

Brown, Dunnepan, Mo., writes: "My little daughter, three ?ars old, was troubled with a very bad cough which remained after an attaclc of eatarrhal fever, which was a great ?al worso nt night? "She would wake up out of her sleep and cough until I feared she could not and it. "Nothing that we gave her seemed to do her any good. I then concluded la ?ml for Dr. Kartman's*book entitled The Ills of Life,' which I prompt!/ received. "1 at the same time commenced gl sin^ er Feruna. She has taken one bottle in all, through which .she has obtained complete cure. "She also since her birth was troubled with Indigestion, but since she baa Aken Pernna sho can eat almost any kind of food without any had results. "She Is now as well and happy as any littlo girl can be, When our friends ay how well she looks, I teil them 'eruna did it. "1 shall always be a friend of Pemna, as I consider it the best medicine fn% coughs and Indigestion we have eve? tried, and will recommend it to any ons similarly alllicted." MRS. LYDIA J.

A Competent and Experienced Civil Engineer Should Re Chosen Rath? er than The Freak from Trizah. Columbia, Sept. 6.?Special: With his name on the State Democratic ticket, Mr. George McDufne Hamp? ton, today began an active campaign for the office of railroad commission? er. The State executive committee at its called meeting last night correct? ed the error in the returns from Greenville which gave Mr. O. C. Scarborough 3,000 votes too many, and ordered that Mr. Hampton's name be placed on the ticket. He will therefore make the race for commis? sioner with Jas. Cansler, of Tirzah. Mr. Scarborough was present at the meeting last night, having come to Columbia for that purpose. Hi said today that while he was greatly disappointed he would of course abide by the result. Mr. Scarborough had already gone to a great deal o( trouble and expense. While there is some interest in the contest for State offices, there is most in the race for governor. Friends of both candidates are hard at work and will be until election day, one week from today. Mr. Blease already has a good organization and Mr. Feather stone is securing one. BICYCLE RACES BIO SUCCESS, LcOrand, Rrunson, and Nlgles Win Four Mile, Half Mile and Ten Mile Races, Respectively. The bicycle races held yesterday afternoon under the supervision of Mr. H. L. Tisdale were a big suc? cess in every particular, each of the races being hotly contested and the winner of each race coming out ahead only by a very narrow margin. In fact, some of the fastest bicycle rid? ing ever seen in Sumter was done yesterday, without a single accident occurring to mar the pleasure of the sport. The races began promptly at 4 o'clock, the boys' race coming first. The distance for this race was four miles, and when the contestants shot across the tape the last time around, Mr. Leon LeOrnad was leading on a Yale wheel with Mr. Tiny Idol a close second. Mr. LeGrand's time was H miutes T.2 l-.r> seconds and he was awarded the first prize, a pair of tires. Mr. Idol received the second prize, a lamp. The next race was the men's half mile race, which was won by Mr. Bartow Brunson, who rode a Colum? bia wheel, his time being one min? ute r>4 1-5 seconds In this race. The last race, the men's ten mile endurance run, "vas the big race of the afternoon, and its outcome was doubtful until almost the last minute, when Mr. Fred Nlgles passed over the tape only i few feet in advance of the next rider. Mr. Clarence Des Champa. Mr. Nlgles* time was 34 minutes and 45 seconds, and he rode a Columbia wheel. A large crowd was out to see the ra< es. :hu1 Mr. Tisdale Is to be con? gratulated on bis successful manage? ment of then,. O'DONNELL'S The Following Was Written - By a Daughter o! One o!

Kitchen utt-nsils? they have a supply if your wife sees sh:'il want you to buy. Their china-ware is unsurpassed, with the best dinner sets it can be classed. 1 have told you this so when you go to town you won't stop untill O'DONNELL'S you have found. Take heed from the above and when you are out for Fall and Winter shopping, come to O'DONNELL'S NEW FERTILIZER FACTORIES. Rig New Enterprise That The Farm? ers Must Support.

Formerly Officer Under Maj. Wirz at Andersouvlllle. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 5.?Lieut. Jas. Barrett, an officer under Maj. Wlrtz, in command of Andersonville prison, and later commandant of a Confeder? ate prison at Florence, S. C, died here today, aged 70. Lieut. Barrett fled to Germany to escape arrest after the war. He mar? ried abroad and returned to Augusta In 1870 and has lived here since then. He became a stock raiser and was an authority on agricultural affairs, be? ing regarded as an expert on farm topics. Some people keep asking why the city wastes good ten penny nails to place "bicyc le limit" signs on clayed sidewalks, when these limits are no more observed than if there were no si^ns there. JAMES HAILE KILLED. Camden Youth Found Dead in Hie Boarding; House in Jacksonville W Bullet in Forehead. ? Camden, Sept. 6.?The remains of James Halle who was found dead with a pistol wound in his head at Jacksonville yesterday were brought to Camden this morning and buried this afternoon, the funeral services taking place from the Presbyterian church. Mr. Halle was about 26 years of age and the youngest child of the late James H. Halle and Mary Hamilton Haile. He lived in Camden for the greater part of his life but left here some time ago to accept a position in Jacksonville with the Southern I Express company in whose employ t he was at the time of his death. Al I ways jovial and happy no more pop? ular young man ever lived in Cam? den than Jim Haile. His loss Is wide? ly and deeply grieved. Relatives and intimate friends here are of the opinion that he was carelessly hand? ling his pistol, which he necessarily carried on account of his position, when it went oft accidentally, the bullet taking effect in the middle of his forehead. Beside his mother, two brothe-s and tv o sisters survive him, Chief of Police Benjamin Haile, Wil? lie Haile and Misses Emma and Lia zle Halle. Election Notice. SECOND PRIMARY MANAGERS.
