UNION, 8. C. SEPTEMBER 5,1902
The Newberry Observer says if you
want to get office move to Spartanburg,
and it does look as if there is
something in it.
The late J?y Gould got his start by
Belling rat trips, from them he probably
learnr.I > he lesson to hold fast
to what, lie trot. until he crot his load.
There is going to be some of the
warmest kiud of work done between
now and the second primary which
takes place Tuesday, the 9th inst.
R. Eber Brewton, auditor of Spartanburg
county, committed suicide
on Sunday morning by cutting his
throat with a razor. Bad health is
given as the cause.
United States Senator John L.
McLaurin was in Greenville last week
looking at real estate with a view to
. locating in that city. Better take a
look around Spartanburg, unless he
has decided to give up politics.
The new presidents for both Furman
and Clemson have been chosen.
One of them is named Pell, the other
Mell. We hope this does not mean
that things will be run pell mell in
these noble institutions of learning.
Its sroiner to be a tiszht race between
Evans and Lattimer for the senate.
Some think about as good plan as
aay in deciding is to shut your eyes
a?d throw heads and tails for choice.
But Evans is a Spartanburg man.,
Another disastrous eruption ofj
Mount Pelee occured last Saturday.
One village was destroyed and another
was swept by a tidal wave. Over
200 lives are reported to have been
lost. The inhabitants of neighboring
villages are fleeing in terror to the
interior.
A negro prophet who has foretold
several things that came to pass says
the democrats will win this time and
that David B. Hill of Albany will be
the nominee who will load the party
to victory. He say Bryan is booked
by the fates to be elected president
in 1812.
We predict there will be more interest
taken in the second than in the
first primary. The list of candidates
is so much shorter, the voters have
una longer time to study the candidates
und they can more readily keep
their names in mind. The newspapers
will endeavor to keep the public
informed.
Luttimer and Talbert have both
dropped their candy. They were both
congressman, but wanted to go higher.
Talbert, however, made a good
run and got in the second race.
Has anyone got a self acting,
double barreled kicking machine for
sale? They could probably do some
business should they call on some of
the defeated candidates.
/ *1. ?It
is astonishing to the average
reader the number of votes that were
cast for James H. Tillman for governor.
We think this can partially be
accounted for by a great number of
voters in the rural districts who do
not take the papers and therefore
I ' -*
uuu t net)(j pimten, voung ior him, be- 1
couse thoy thought it was Ben Till''
man running.
The Wilmington Messenger says: i
"From ten acres of land near Wil- <
mington W. B. McClelland has mar- i
keted Sf'J.oO.") worth of Irish potatoes i
this season. Net result, $1,895. i
How is that for a money crop, i
Irish potatoes grow well in this sec- '
tlon, suppose some of you t.r% them j
for h money crop. The above beats
cotton, and not as much work ncces- <
aary.
t i.
PRIMARY ELEC- <
TION RETURNS. 1
i
As heretofore Thk Times outstrip- i
ped all records. The people were '
furnished with a correct tabulation J
of the vote with correct additions of <
snn.c in our regular i?su<- I week, i
If some people could liavv <?e< n our
office crowded with anxious candidates
wanting to know "how they J
stood" in the war of the ballot, they (
'would have died with envy. One i
would come in and ask "have you *
finished figuring yet. I know I will .
' ?1 u '
get ine correct tijib wueu ^uu |iuw i
lishit." ?
f Another wonld say "every thing j
seems mixed across the way. I j
know they are in error. Please give
me the correct figures in my race." 1
After our correct tabulation was in
type for the paper the jotf' press was i
called into use for special copies and
one prominent oandidate came in
smiling, saying that "he was satisfied
The Times would have it right."
It is a pity that some youthful
journalist cannot understand that
statements that are not backed up by
final returns do not set well on interested
people to say the least and
when the general public are to be
reached they always depend on the
paper that gives the news in a correct
and not garbled form.
The Times feels more than complimented
when the executive committee
found it necessary to change its
totals to conform to those of The
Times. Our readers ean depend on
getting the correct returns from next
Tuesday's election in their next paper.
Several have asked our onlnlon on
' the beet men to vote for but there is
a trite saying attributed to our old
! friend, Jonas Smirk that "Everybody
was voting to suit themselves." We
' have always followed that rule and
; depend on the good people to do the
same. The state and county is safe
jn the hands of any of the gentlemen
who are offering themselves for your
suffrage.
All we advise Is pay very little attention
to those smelling strongly of
iquor and whispering some scandal
that has been discovered at the eleventh
hour on some good man. Consult
your wife and vote as she suggests
and you will not go far wrong.
ROOSEVELT IN AN ACCIDENT.
About 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
while President Roosevelt and
party were enroute in a landau from
Pittsfield to Lenox, Mass., a serious
aceident happened in which one of
the party, secret service officer Craig,
lost his life and the president was
slightly bruised, and very narrowly
escaped losing his life. Secretary
Cortelyou and Congressman George
T I.! .
uanicuv>C| ui iuaooa^iiUlVlbB lujurwu;
Secretary Cortelyou was rendered
uncoDScioae, The landou was struck
by a trolley car on the tracks of the
Pittsfield Street Railway Company.
It was overturned, throwing all the
six occupants heavily to the ground.
Officer Craig wfs caught under the
wheels and his life crushed out. Immediately
after the accident President
Roosevelt realillzlng that the
story might be exaggerated hastened
a messenger to Lenox with the news.
The president's injuries consist of a
light cut on the head and a few
bruises of an insignificant nature.*
Governor Crane, who was in the landau,
was uninjured. The officer who
was killed was on the box with the
driver. One of the four horses was
also kilied. The laudau was only a
mile from Pittsfield when struck by
the trolley car going at a high rate of
speed, fully 80 miles an hour. Driver
Pratt was knocked senseless and
taken to a hospital for treatment.
The six occupants were thrown in 1
every direction. The president obtained
a new conveyance and continued
on his journey. ?
The conductor and motorman of
the trolley car have been arrested, !
charged with manslaughter. Motor* 1
man Maddon was released on a $5,000 1
bond and conductor Kelley was re- 1
leased on $2,500 bond. The motor- '
man whs warned by Governor Crane 1
and others, but the warning came toe 1
late. The motorman was ringing his 1
gong and the crowd was cheering the i
president. 1
how the collision occurred. I
Just at the foot of Howard's bill ?
the road bends a little and teams are
compelled to cross the street railway
bracKS to the east side. The railroad
then continues at one side of the *
street Instead of in the centre. Just t
nt this point the up grade of the hl)l a
begins, and hut a short distance be- e
rnnd the crossing there is a narrow .
bridge spanning a small hrook.
The trolley ear approached the rn.id *
crossing und^r n good head of speed f
with gong clanging Just as tbs driver ,
?
>( the President's csrrisge tnrned his
esders to eross the tracks. On each
ilde of the Ohlef Executive's oarrlage
rode two mounted troopers of the loud
cavalry company, and the horsenen
on the left of the landau had
.urned on the track with the trolley
;ar immediately behind them.though
some yards distant.
. TltlC HUI>I>KX WRECK. ,
Alarmed by the Hanging gong, they
tvrih turned in th* r <-:vlles and waved M
rlgoroiialy to the mo ertnau to stop his
?r. Almost at the same instant Governor
Crane, who qoMly perceived ftho J1
iatiger, roee to his tret and likewise tooLioi
ed to the moterman. The latter pi
great excitement desperately tried to
stop his cer, but it was too late. It
crashed into the carriage just as a loud
moan went up from the frenxird onlookers
who thronged the roadside and who
bvt a moment before were cheering the
President. The horsemen managed to ~
get the frightened animals out of the
way just in tinre ?r?l the car struck 'he

wheel of ihe vehicV, which received "
full force of the Mow. The OKtr' HgK
was upset in the twinkling of ?'u eje <
and one hone fell dvart on Uk tracks. g
Th" other three powerful gray., attac led *
to the veh cle starord to ru?^. and d na- T
ged by them and push?d by the forc^ of
the car the wreoked carriage was mrved
thirty or forty feet. Agent Craig fell
from his seat immediately in from of
the car and it passed completely over i
his body. Driver Pratt in falling str<ick
the dead hone immediately in froi.i of
him and rolled off clear of the car, thus
escaping a similar fate. Presideht R?o8- J
evelt, Governor Crane andSecretary Cor- ?
telyou were thrown together in the 'lot- "
torn of the carriage. }
The President's lip was cut and t
blood was flowing from the wound. 1
Secretary Cortelyou had a severe I
wound in the baclc of the head, from r
which blood was flowing freely. ^
the motkkuan'8 srory
Euclid Madden, the motorman, in I
telling his story, says that the car was
No 29, which hiul motors of sixty-horse ?
power. The car is not fitted with air
brakes. On account of the Presidential
exercises he says that the running seta dule
on all lines of the company's stu-ets
were disturbed.
As he passed over the railroad bridge,
about 950 or 400 feet from the scene of
the accident, he says he shut off the
power and put on the brakes, the car *
then being on a down grade. He says jj
there were teams on both sides of the
track aDd be was exercising every care
to avoid au accident In hisopiuion the
car was not running over eight miles an
hour; he received no warning to stop and
did not see the mounted men or Governor
Crane waving their bands till it was
at a standstill. Aooording to Maddcn's .
stoiy there was plenty of room for Uk 1
President's ceil iage lo have n
the west side of the trol'ey track ar . hiwould
have had plenty of time *u h J
passed the President's carriage before
the turn was made to tile east side of the
road. He said that the leading horres 1
were turned short across tire track Ho [
could net tell just how the car struck '
the carriage, but be says he reversed tt e
power and went for the brake just as 1
quickly as possible when he saw the t
horses tufn on the track. He says it j
was dusty and with difficult he suw what <
was going on.

W? have rsoeived a lengthy reply *
to Hey Denver's article in last week's
Times. It does not appear in this ^
issue, first bscause it was opened af- ^
ter our first page, or page devoted to <
correspondence had gone through |
the press, second, that while the (
party is entitled to a reply as the ^
original letter to which exception ^
was utKen was written by Hey Den er,
we very much regret that this ^
wrangle has arisen. It has been our
aim to try and avoid these discus- J
sions through the columns of The f
Times. It can never do any good {
and is calculated to do much harm ^
in any community in which they f
originate, both sides always have 1
their friends, and the longer the con- c
troversy is carried on the more bitter ?
the feeling beoomes. With the hope j,
that some mutual friends of the parties
concerned will see the parties
and get them to consent to let the I
matter rest at what it is, we hold the 0
communications back this week. The c
thing is not worth guarreling over ^
any way. However if the parties in- 1
sist on its appearance, we will pub- *
lish it in our next issue, but wish to F
announce most emphatically that it ^
can go no further. We will not al- D
low The Times to be a medium
through which personal quarrels, ^
charges and counter charges are to be
veatilated. While such things might *
interest a dozen readers directly concerned
there are hundreds of readers
who possibly know nothing about *

little about the matter under discus- j
lion and care less about the whole ^
business. They pay for a newspftper
to get the news, and we cannot
tfford to force personal controversies ?
lpon them. With a few moments R
efioction any reasonable man will
lee that our position Is correct. at
