HOYKIN STRUCK BY SPECIAL TRAIN NEAR CHAN? DLER'S SIDING. Had Been Been on Track Bevern! Times During Day Praviom to Ac ddont?Inquest Was Held Sunday I Aoning, but Name Wus Not Le4U*n ed I'ntll Monday Morning?Body Taken to Mayesville. Peter W. Boykln, a young man liv? ing at or near Mayesville was struck by a special A. C. L. train Sunday af? ternoon near Chandler s Siding and instantly killed. The young man was sitting on the track at the time and apparently made no attempt to get out of the way of the oncoming train. A negro. Tom Holmes, was the only eye-witness to the accident and was the chief witness at the coroner'3 in? quest which was held Sunday evening about 8 o'clock out in a swamp along side the* track, where the man was killed. Dr. llolman testified that'the man's spine and skull were fractured and tne negro Holmes testilied to having i seen Boykln sitting on the track. He I stated that the train blew several j times before it struck the man, but ' did not stop after it had hit him. Mr. a. L. Hodge stated that he had seen the man on the side of the railroad track some time before the train I 1 came along and that he was appar? ently drunk or in a stupor. The train that killed young P.oykin WM a special running from Augusta to Washington. It had on beard sev ? eral companies of militia bound for the inauguration at Washington. It passed Bumter shortly after 6 o'clock and was running between the two I regular afternoon trains. Conductor j Langdon Jones and Engineer Boon*; of Florence were in charge of the train. It is not known whether they knew of the fact that the train had ' killed a man, at it is probable the train would have stopped had they been acquainted with this fact. It was stated by an a. c. L. employee of this city that it was probable that the engineer was blowing for the crowing or the siding near tins place, and not blowing as a warning to Hoy kin. At the time that Coroner Flowers I held thel ncjnest, there was no means of identifying the man. The initials iv W, Ii." were found Inside his coat, but nori'- of the persons Who congre I gated at the scone knew him. The j body was brought to town Sunday night by Deputy Sheriff John Bpper son and taken to Mr. (i 11. Hurst s undertaking establishment. Here it was recognised by friends Monday morning and the young man's father, Mr. Hardy Boykln, of Mayesville, was notified. Mr. Boykln came over on the train Monday morning for the ' body and returned with it to Mayes? ville in the afternoon. It Is not known what was the mat* ter with the young man that he did not ?ot out ?g the way of the train, but it is supposed that he was drunk j or "doped.*' He had been seen on j tho track near the Brick yard in the I morning, where he was removed by j fore-. Sheriff Bradford was notified I and went out to this place, but the man had gone on before he arrived. Later he was sees mar New Sum ter lying m-ar the track and at the time he was struck he was fitting on tho track. Peter W, Boykln was not qurue 21 years of age. He was the son of Mr. Hardy Bewkin of Mayesville, a farmer living on Mr. J. F. Blsnd'S pi&ee. He had one brother and one sister living at Mayesville. The body was taken from Mr. Geo. H Hurst's undertaking establishment about 2 o'clock and carried to Mayes? ville wherre it will be, buried Tuesday morning. Xessfs l Vom Wlsocky?

Educational Measure Will Not IV - come Im This Year?Dlscuuslon in HOUSC Columbia, March 2.?Vetoed yes? terday morning by the governor, the McCravey-Lawson compulsory school attendance act, whose passage, met with such wide favor, is dead. The house passed the bill over the veto by a vote of about four to one, but in the senate the act was killed for the lack of two votes which would have panned it by the necessary two thirds majority. The compulsory school attendance act, a "local option" measure and amended to provide for free books and clothing for children in certain instances, was one of the few pieces of constructive legislation passed by the general assembly at this session. The governor said he "took pleasure * in vetoing It. The opponents' of the bill, so mild was its compulsory pro? visions, w? re ho: d put to it on the floors of the house and senate to find any argument against it and had to resort to those against compulsory ed? ucation in general. The senate sustained the govern? or's veto of the Lawson-McCravey compulsory education bill by a vote of 23 to 14. The governor also vetoed Senator Carlisle's act allowing the citizens of th? city of Spartanburg to say in the next election for mayor whether they wn ited compulsory school attendance or not. The senate by a vote of 26 to 1 overrode the veto of the governor on this local act. The house, though, failed to pass the act over the veto by three votes. The act will accordingly not become law. Of the Spartanburg house delegation, Messrs. Wyche and Hoyd voted to override the veto and Messrs. Harrelson, Hogers, Kirby, Portner and Itoseley voted to sustain the governor. When the vetoed McCravey-Lawnosi act was tak? n up in the house, Mr. Miller of Uichland said that organ? ized labor was in favor of compul? sory education. He said he hoped the bill would pass over the veto. The null operatives of Richland, said Mr. Miller, were in favor of the bill and had asked him, as one of their representatives. to support the MIL He said be would have been glad to have voted for a "Statewide" com? pulsory education bill and Mr. Miller declared that he, as well as the nun who asked him to support compul? sory school attendance, were the governor's friends. Mr. Portner of Bpartaaburg spoke In favor of sustaining the governor's veto. He said he was a friend of "the working people," but was opposed to compulsory school attendance. Mr. Ashley of Anderson also spokd In favor of supporting the governor's veto. Ht said the time for such Jaw was not yet. Mr. Sapp of Lancaster spoke in fa? vor of overriding the governor's veto. He made a strong argument in sup? port of his position and in advocacy Of the compulsory school attendance act. Mr. Liles of Oraugeburg, Mr. Kirk; Of Williamsburg, and Mr. McCravey of Picken?, one of the authors of the bill, all made strong pleas for the passage of the act over the governor's veto.
