J. AUBRY RICE KILLED.
A Most Exemplary Young Man Cut
Dot Tn in His Young Manhood \
Without One Moment's Warning
While in the Discharge of His
Duties as Railroad Clerk.
j A HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Our town was shocked when it was
learned that Mr. Jacob Rico had just
received a tolegram-Monday morningannouncing
that his youngest sou,
Aubry had been killed in a wreck on
the P. O. <fc P. Division of the Seaboard
Air lino rail road, at Limerick,
a station some twenty five miles below
savannah.
The remains wore taken to Savannah
and there prepared for burial by
the Masons and sent to Union where
they arrived Tuesday morning. Mr,
Rice's remains were in charge of his
brother Mr. John Rico, who is also a
railway mail clerk and ho and his deceased
brother occupies the same
home at Jacksonville. The wives of
the deceased and his brother were
notified, and they arrived in Union
Wednesday.
As near as wo could gather the
particulars of the wreck were as follows
:
The vestibule, on its way from
Jacksonville to Savannah, running
about GO miles an hour had received
orders to meet, and pass a rock train,
hauliDg rock to Jacksonville, at a
station named "Burroughs," which is
a flag station, at which passanger
trains only stop on signal,the engineer
and conductor of the rock train had
received similar orders, but had made
an error in reading, and mistook
"Burroughs" for another station
further down the lino. This train
passed Burroughs and was running
to make the station they thought the
orders called for when the terrible
crash come.
The engineer and fireman, it is said,
jumpped when they saw a collision
was inevitable, the engineer and fireman
on the rock*t rain were slightly
injured. The two engines came together
with a terrible crash, and
were both totally wrecked. The rock
train, being heavily loaded with rock,
offered the greatest resistance, and
the passenger train sustained the
most damage. The mail car, which
was next the engine, was mashed into
kindling wood only a small portion of
the top remained intact, while the
baggage car which was next was
badly wrecked. It is said that every
Pullman car on the train was more
or less damaged.
Mr. Rice, all unconscious of the terrible
doom just ahead, was in his closed
car, working out and arranging his mail,
when lie felt the brakes go down hard.
He attempted to leach the door, but too
late, the fatal crash had come. lie was
fiually rescued from under neath the
debris, an examination was made but it
was found that 110 bones had been broken,
and only a slight bruise was discovered
on his cheek, but the tenible jar, and
pressure 01 the broken timbers lyiug
upon him caused internal bemorhage,
from which he died in one hour ami
eight miuutes after being taken out of
the wreck, he was perfectly consicious

wreck occurred before daylight Mouday
morning. A special train was at once
sent out from Savannah carrying Physicians,
to render all possible assistance
Mr. Rice was in his 20th year. He would
have been 30 years old had he lived untii
next September. He was a most exenplary
and worthy young man, and enjoyed
the confidence and respect of his
employers. He was married about six
years ago, and leaves a wife and an infant
child three months old. He has been
in the service of the Government as
railway clerk something over eight years.
His|firet run was ou the Narrow Gague
road between Chester and Lenoir, from
this run he was promoted to the Southern,
between Charlotte and Atlanui,
and lastly to the Seaboard, running from
Jacksonville, Florida to Columbia S. C.
which run he has been on since last
March.
Mr. Rice carried a $2,000 insurance
policy in the Railway Mail Clerk's Insurance
Co. He was a member of
the Masonic Lodge of Chester and had
advanced to the "Shnuers" degree.
The remains were iniered in the old
cemetery beside those of his mother
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock, A
large number of friends were present at
the burial services.
The funeral service was conducted in
the Baptist Church in a very touching
and impressive manner by Rev. L M.
Rice, his pastor. The burial was 3011

McNeace
We have known Mr. J. Aubry Rico
for a number of years and considered
him one of the most exemplary young
gentlemen of our acquaintance Besides
his wife and child he leaves father,
brother and mother-in-law, sister-in-law
and a holt of sorrowing faiends young
and old in Union to mourn his untimely
end. We extend our most heartfelt
sympathies to the family in this hour of
their sad bereavement.
As To Wants.
Do you want to buy anything that
some one else has for sale? Do you
want any one to buy what yon have
to sell? If so put a "wanted" ad in
Thk Times. It does not cost much,
and does the business. Try it.
Salcsday.
There was only one sale made Monday,
that was sold by the Sheriff in the caae
of Leander Armstrong vs David Johnson,
137 acres of land, in llogansville
township. It was bought by Mr. W. II.
8artor for $100. This property was sold
on last sa'eeday but the party did not
comply with the terms and it had to be
IW-sold.

A Fnlsc Report.
Some one started a report in town
that the Union Hardware Co. was going
to sell out and quit business. Upon inquiry
Mr. Fred Garner, the manager, informs
us that the report is an absurd
falsehood and he did not understand why
any one should have started such a report
unless it was done with the intention
of injuring his business. He says
lie lias had a splendid and satisfactory
trade and the business is here to stay.

who wish to engage in silk growing.
Address
Mrs. Blackiiam Hughes,
10 Legare Streeet, Charleston, 8. C.

our columus with pleasure, as we believe '

she is thoroughly posted along this line
and we hope those interested will cor
respond with her.
Farming in Indian Territory. '
Mr. M. T. Black who was born and
reared in Union county, but who twenty
odd years ago went, west, returned to
Union since Christmas and spent several
weeks visiting his brothers in this and ,
Cherokee county. He spent some time
at the home of his brother, Mr. W. A. ,
E. Black, near Union. He is very much
pleased with his new home and judging
from the returns from his crop of last
year we can readily we why he should
lie pleased. Here is what lie did with
his crops cultivated with six mules. lie
made and cribbsd over 3.0U0 bushels of
corn, 3S? bales of cotton, trom his cotton
crop ho banked $050 and kept out ,
enough besides to pay the running expenses
of his farm this jvar and to pay
the expenses incurred in his t rip to Union
and return. When he left home corn
was 85 cents per bushel and eveiything
pointing to an advance to $i 00 per
bushel. He left instructions with his
son that as soon as corn did reach 51.00 a
bushel to sell 1,000 bushels. lie says
every farmer out there who will work is
prosperous but there are laggards there
as everywhere else.
Mr. Black calculates upon realizing a
prolit of $2,250 on his last year's crop.
How is that for farming.
