Baturdn) night about 11 o'clock Coroner Flowers received a telephone r.u ssage fr ?m Mayesville informing him that a negro by the name of Karly Mack had been killed at that place by being crushed between two ears and that he was wanted there to hold an Inquest ovei the body. lie telephoned back that he would come on the early morning train and to hold the body there until he came. Mr. Flowers went over Sunday morning on the 7:30 train, arriving at Mayesville about S o'clock. ?S at once got to work and summon i d a jury and the two eye witnesses of the accident and proceeded without b lay to hold the inquest. The two negro witnesses, who were the only persons who saw the accident, stated that they had been st tin- station l e ItWSSn I and 10 o'clock and ba I sin i afacl go between the tw.. boa cars in Irving t ? pass to the orher solo of the I ti ? I The) bod heard Ms scream i* the cars hit together and had at once given the alarm to the engineer who had moved the engine up some distance, when the body, which had bSSfJ held in an upright position be? tween the two cars, fell to the ground. The engineer and conductor stated that they had been coupling up trains and did not know of the accident un? til they were told of it after it had happened. Dr. J. II. Mills testified that he had examined the body, that the man had come to his death by being mashed between two blunt Instruments. It seems that the train had been there "ine time coupling and changing care I ami that Mack tried to squeeze be? tween the couplings of two cars and had been caught in that position and ?rushed to death. The jury brought in a verdict that Karly Mack had come to his death by being crushed between two box cars. As the evidence showed that the ne? gro's death was due entirely to ac? cident no warrants were sworn out and no arrests were made. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT SUN? DAY. Sund iv afternoon at the corner of s.ii-m avenue and w. Liberty street an SUtomol llf accident occurred Which would haVi proved serious had the cars of either party been going at I low rate of speed.

When the couri was called to order, judge, lawyers and Jury were ready, '>ut there wa re no cast b to be tried, as the eases on the roster for the day had already b< en settled outalde of court, There was one ease called, how ? ever, In which a verdict was given hy the failure of the defendant to answer when it was Culled.

(>n January %4 Governor Blease sen! to the General Asaembly a ape ? lal message in which he bitterly as? sailed the record of the wlndlng-up commission of the old State Dlspen I snry, reheyrsii^g various reports to j their discredit which he stated had I con poured Into his ears, and ex? erting the legislators that "A thor? ough investigation of this entire mat ar, gentlemen, will' give a great deal of satisfaction to your constituents." "There are those," hi* continued, "who believe that the State has lost more through the winding-up com? mission than it has ever lost through the State dispensary system. Wheth? er this be true or not, it is not for me to say. I hold my belief as to I corrupti n, ? u1 I to people ??: eoutn Carolina are canned ?...? '<'.' ??ihvd and freest Im ^stigation on your part, before the report of these men Is received ana they are discharged as public officials." .Against this demand for a turning On of the light that the public might 1 ? fully advised as to all that the commission had done and its reasons therefor not a dissenting voice was raised. The commission or various members of It insisted that all that they had done should be fully prob? ed. The legislature provided for the investigation sought. So far as the public is advised, however, Governor Blease has never signed the Act ordering the investi? gation. Instead, he called upon th?3 commission for certain information, which was promptly furnished, and tiow he does the very thing which h. warned the General Assembly against doing?undertakes himself to pass Judgment upon the work of the commission. The Governor in sum marilw removing the head of the commision is acting within the scope Of his authority. but he is utterly violating every suggestion of decency in the circumstances. Having him? self preferred* charge s against the OOmmiSSlon, having himself appealed to the Legislature to provide the means for determining whether the commission had discharged its obli? gations honestly and patriotically, his present procedure must be regard? ed as being as arrogant as his course In general has been vacillating. Meantime, it is well to bear In mind the purpose for which the wind? ing-up commission was formed and the circumstances under which the various members of the commission wer?' appointed. The State dispen? sary had been repudiated by the peo? ple of South Carolina as utterly rot? ten. The task remained of clearingI away the fetid remains. It was nasty work and it was only by appealing to their patriotism that C, ?v. Ansel prevailed upon men like John Mc Sween and A very Patton and J. Steele Brlce to undertake lt. "W.? shall not believe, whatever mistakes the commision may or many not have made, thai Its members have been animated In the discharge of their duties as commissioners by any spirit save that of a lively sense of (heir obllgntlons to the Common? wealth. For Governor Blease to un? dertake In this manner to blacken their reputation or that of any one of tlmm is an outrage, Why has he refused to permit the official Investi? gation for which In- clamored? Is he afraid of the verdict? fs then anything In lb ? record which h doesn't w i<m to have come nut?
