Air.joe noss.or Charlotte, aX'-it conduetorbn the Air Line road? was run over and Instantly killed at Spar tanburg Junction at 8.10 o'clock thbi morning. Conductor Ross was in charge of Charlotte bound freight No. 21, due here at 11 o'clock this morning, but he was destined to leave his last run uncompleted. When the train reached Spartanburg the usaal amount of shifting had to be done, and Conductor Ross left his cab to superintend the work. It was Jnst a little after doy break, and he was walking along the tops of the mov Ing ears. As lie was in the act of stepping from one car to another he was seen to reel and fall. He dropped between the cars, with his body across one of the rails, and in an in stant, before anyone could realize what had happened, the wheels had passed over his body and severed it in two, causing instant death. The body of the unfortunate conductor was carried into the depot, and his relatives were notified of the occur rence. It is not char what caused the fatal fall.

"I believe in Christianity with traces and not with hold back straps. There's many an old Methodist iu Danville who would hold back while going up hill." A woman will put ou a seventy- live dollar dress aud a twety-Avo dollar hat and trip down to the Mis sionary society to pay her dues, ten cents, as a matter of duty then he warmed up those husbands who hold the purse strings so tight they don't allow their wives to be liberal and charitable if they want to. Half a man has belongs to his wife, and she has Just as much right as he to carry a check book. Said Mr. Jones: "I have the utmost contempt for a man whose wife has to run to him every tiiiie she wantri a dollar or a ten cent piece." Then he whacked the diso bedient church members and praised the one who says to the pastor, "1 will do nothing to bring reproach on the church or a frown on the brow of my Saviour." HU night sermon was from the text : "Quit your meanness and serve Ood." We are not only saved by grace, out we Jive ny it. l nere is not a sinner in hell that didn't have a chance to go. heaven and wouldn't take if, nor is there an angel iu heaven that didn't have a chance to go to hell and wouldn't take it.
