HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
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.

DAUGHTER OF MRS. J. M. BROWN.
Mrs. J. M. Brown, Dunnepan, Mo.,

cough which remained after an attaclc
of eatarrhal fever, which was a great

"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

The Ills of Life,' which I prompt!/
received.
"1 at the same time commenced gl sin^

HAMPTON VS. CANSLER.
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,.

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 5.?Lieut. Jas.
Barrett, an officer under Maj. Wlrtz,
in command of Andersonville prison,
and later commandant of a Confeder?

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?
