Japan lost no first class battle

It has licen left to the flames of an i
accidental fire to destroy her best j
battleship, Mikasa. This ship was 1
Admiral Togo's flag ship and the j
Japanecs were proud of her. The

hilled by a Live Wire.
A young man, Frank J. Kirkman,
employed as lineman by the
Bell Telephone Co. at Florence,
S. was on a polo fixing a box
and as he descended the pole, came
in contact with a live wire. Tho
shock was so great that he was
rendered unconscious and fell to the
Davcmcnt and died in a few seconds.
j A different arrangement should be
i made by which less danger to the
linemen could bo assured,
i The coroner's jury in the inquest
held over the dead body of Kirkman,
reached the verdict that death
wii8 caused by his body coming in
contact with a live wire of the Carolina
Light and Jl'ower Co., and not
a telephone wire.

A Dangerous and Serious Run
away.
The gray horse of Mr. W. N
Garner, hitched to a buggy, win
standing at the sido door of Mr
W. D. Arthur's wholesale grocery
DcWitt Garner, son of Mr. W. N
Garner, was sitting in the buggy
Mr. Garner brought out of the store
a piece of bacon and raised the toj
of the buggy to put the meat in th<
lwick part of the buggy. As la
raised the top the horse took frighl
and ran turning up Main street
The wheels of the buggy caught s
wooden frame, then it was PeWitl
fell out. The horse ran at a vcrj
rapid rate of speed up Main street
until he reached Fant Bros. A
Co.'s store, where he struck tin
dray wagon of this firm, jumper
up into the wagon and fell over it
striking his head and breaking bit
neck, and lay upon the ground s
dead hojse. The buggy was turner
up side nowu, and if DeWitt bar
been in the buggy at this time lie
would no doubt have been killed.
Fant Bros. A: Co.'s horse ran aerost
the street, having broken from the
wagon and fell on the pavement in
front of the Union Shoe Co.'s store.
This horse was hurt but little.
but the wagon was broken in several
places and Mr. Garner's buggy was
very badly broken. We have repeatedly
urged the prohibition ol
allowing horses hitched to wagons
standing along the street unhitched,
for the reason that the most quiet
horse will be made to run away by
another horse running with a vehicle
attached to him, and to get
several horses started to run it
might cost some lives of people and
destruction of property.
