Excursion Didn't Rnu. j It hacl been announced by circulm i that tho negroes would run an excu jsion yesterduy (ThUrsdaj) froi (J mesvllle to Augusta, via Columbii j It seems that things got in a tang] | and as a result the excursion was (lash. The fuoto, uJ noar as wo wei I ! able to gather tlu-m, are about'as fo iows: Several n? gro societies wer j together to run the excursion?tl Sons and Daughters of Zion, th Friendly Aid, Sous and Daughters < Mercy and . Corinth Soeietie; Through one of their number, Wi Hughes, application was made to tt railroad authorities for five coachi for Aug. 7th and Sell, and the excu sion was advertised accordingly. TI railroad people notified them thi they could not furnish couches f< 7th und 8th, but could furniMh thei for 14th and 15th, they agreed to th and a contract was drawn up an sont here for signature. It happens that the railroad people made a ' error and while they intended I 3 make the date in the contract re? 14th and 15th they drew it up for 7t B >md 8th, this contract was signed an , $100 forfeit was put up, and the a< vertlsing literuture remained as orij inally for 7th and 8th. The railrou authorities discovering their mistuh wired that they could not furnis the coaches on 7th and 8th. Th colored people it seems wanted t hold the railroad to the contract, an a number of telegrams were sent, th ' road insisted Fnat they could nc furnish the coaches on those date and would not do so, the last notic . to that effect coming by wire at o'clock Tuesday, and the committe was notified to come and get the foi feit back. When they went for i tho agent had made his rem it tunc and told them to come for it by 1 o'clock Wednesday morning by whic time he would have made his collec tions, they did not call for it it seem uutil about one o'clock. They ha in the meantime sent word in ever dirqption that the excursion woul not be run as they could not get th coaches. The agent would not refnn the forfeit until he got the contrac [ back. Late Wednesday afternoon h received instructions that the coache ? would be furnished and he at one notified the committee, they told hit; ? they had notified everybody it woul . not run. An effort was made, how ever, Wednesday night and Thursda morning, to get out notice and se! ' tickets, but as only about $100 wort of tickets were sold aud the prico o the train was $125 they threw up th gamo, and returned the money fo the tickets sold, and say they ar going to law with the matter,! Greene's excuasion to Asheville however, will run rain or shine, at cording to announcement. ' A Bad Wind at Monarch. On Wednesday afternoon about o'clock a hard wind struck the town til a ing the air with dust and sending serai of paper and small movable object 3 whirling through the air. The win . was followed by a good shower of rain r We learned by phone a few minutes afu s the storm had passed that a man ha been killed and several injured at Mot e arch. Going at once to Monarch w 8 found that the large two-story buildin that was being erected just above L. I Smith's store for a school room, ha r aud post olUee, had been blown dowr i The building was 23 feet wide by 7 feet long, the two stories together beinj 1 24 feet high. The wind was seen to be coming an the workmen on the scaffolds hastens i to the ground. Instep of leaving th building, however, they began woikiuj on the ground on the upper and lowe side of the building. A bard gust o wind struck the building corning Iron west and the.structure being only a hul with the roof on, all the openings gav* the wind fair play and the buildinj toppled over on those who were on th* r upper side. Help soon arrived when i * r J it-.r w * " t woa iuuiiu urns jar. j. McUoJn had beei killed outright by having his hear , crushed iu by the falling timliers, whih . Mr. Tom Long who was found witl r him had his hip broken. Mr. Clarence Vaughn received a bad hurt on hi; shoulder and his face and head was eu ' and bruised. Mr. Venge Tucker liac 1 his hand mashed and shoulder hurt, 1 Mr. O. K. Harris had his arm cut by i ' nail, and a negro, .Jesse Carter, was t slightly injured but very narrowly es j crped death bv falling Lehiud a tool Chest which kept the timbers off him Mr. Harris also had a narrow escap?, but being iu front of one of the openings the timbers missed him. They weie ali } taken from under the roof which had . not collate !, this fact probably saved f the lives of the others. Mr. John A , Fant, president of the mill, was soor , upon the scene. Physicians were sum . moncd and everything passible was dotu j for the wounded. None of them art . considered to be seriously injured witl . the exception of Mr. Tom lx>ng.

Fant, of Santuc, has j. sold fifty bushels of corn and has , fifty more bushels for sale. That 1 sounds good. We like to hear of our u farmers having not only corn enough r to do them but also some to sell, true a this ought to be the general rule, but I sad to say it is the exception to the l rule. Mr. Fant also raises his own 1 meat, and he usually sells from $25 i to $50 worth of fodder every year, f He knows how tf? fltrm Hn liwoa nt ; home, boards at the same place and * supplies his own table.
