It is not blind or arbitrary action or a thirst for conquest which induced Italy, already too patient and too of ten deceived, to have recourse to arms, but the necessity for our de fense and protection of our economic interests and the vindication of our national dignity, too often overlooked by Turkey while the Ottoman empire is crowded with Italian immigrants who bring their strength, their mus cles and the Influence of their caP’ ital into the commerce and Industry of the country.” Serlcua Losa of Life.

This is the view held by the Seventh Day Adventists, according to Rev. Kit C. Russell, of Takoma Park, D. C., an exponent of that faith. “The Adventists have maintained for many years,” said Mr. Russell, “that the refusal of the powers to help the Turk, his final expulsion from Eu rope And the scramble for hl& terri tory by the nations would be the sig nal for the second appearance of Christ. The basis for this belief are the prophecies in the Bible. In the book of Daniel is found: “ ‘And He shall'plant the tabernacles of His palace between the seas and the glorious Holy Mount; yet He shall come to His and none shall help Him.’ • “The personage referred to is conced ed by commentators to be none other than the Turkish empire. And, the text shows that this power shall ‘Come to his end and none shall help him.’ 'Then Christ shall come and deliver His peo ple ‘Everyone that shall be found writ ten in the book.’ ” , x „ Mr. Russell construed the planting of the tabernacles of the Turklsh^“be- tween the seas and the glorious Holy Mountains” to mean the Ottoman would transfer his capital to Jerusa lem. He said the Adventists do not at tempt to say just when these events would take place but consider tne present imbroglio as a step toward their consummation.

' Big Signboard on Iryon Street Obstructed View of Those on 7 he Wagon and Those on the Train~-Di§krence of Opin ion as WhetherWhistle Blew. Six negroes were injured, two of them seriously, a muie was killed and a wagon smashed to kindling wood this morning at 6:45 o’clock when Southern Railway train No. 35, bound for Columbia, crashed into the wagon where Park avenue crosses the South ern tracks in Dilworth. That any ot the eight occupants of the wagon es* caped death seemed almost miracu lous, for the train struck the wagon fairly on the side, breaking it in half and leaving the front wheels on one side of the tracks with the rear wheels and the badly shattered bed oh the other side of the tracks. The wagon load of negroes all lived on Middle street, with the exception of Will Reid, who lived on Mr. John B. Clanton’s place In Steel Creek, and dll were on the way to Mr. Clanton’s to pick cotton. The train had left the Southern station for Columbia and had attained considerable speed be fore it reached the Park avenue crosfr ing. The wagon was going the same direction on South Tryon street and at a slow trot, it being down grade. A huge signboard facing Tryon street for about 25 feet, and being about ten feet in height, partially obstructed the view of those in the wagon and those on the train. Will Reid, a col ored boy, was driving the wagon, the team being a rather spirited one. Just as the wagon was about to turn across the railroad tracks from Tryon street those in the wagon sighted the on- rushing train. The driver was una ble to check the team in time to turn them away from the track. One of the occupants of the wagon, Maggie Alexander, who had a tw^o-year-old child in her arms, had the presence of mind to toss it oiit on the grass be side the track just before the col* llsion. It was unhurt. Florence Alex ander, a girl about 12 years of age, also saw the train In time to jump and escaped without injury. The Injured. All the other occupants of the wag- .bn were pretty severely injured and one, Will Reid, the driver, may die. The police patrol In charge of Chief Christenbury and Sergeant Young blood, together with an ambulance, were soon at the scene and the injured ones were rushed to the Good Samari tan hospital. Dr. A. M. Herron was one of the first physicians to reach the hospital. He found that Will Reid had a frao tured skull. Mattie Friday, a middle* aged woman, also suffered concur* sion of the brain. Mattie Alexandef is badly Injured In the back. The oth ers have cuts and bruises of more or less seriousness, but none of them are considered dangerously wounded. The names of the other injured are Bessie Clark, John Lee Reid, Bell Freeland and I^ulse Alexander. Will Reid was carried on the pt!ot of the engine about two car lengths beyond the crossing or untl^ it stop ped. The others fell near the crossing. One woman, who was dazed by the c(rf- lislon, and was suffering with a wound on the wrist, got up ajid started back up the street toward the city asking who had hit her. One of the mules attached to the wagon was so badly Injured that It died In a short while. The other one was not hurt, except for a few scrathes and bruises. The wagon was broken squarely in two, and the parts scat tered along e^h side of the track for several yards. Did the Whistle Blow? Those living near the scene differed as to whether the engineer blew his whistle before coming to the cross ing. Several persons w^ho w^ere in the immediate vicinity of the scene were positive the whistle did not blow and that the bell did not ring. Others were positive that the whistle blew. A Mrs. Alexander who lives not far from the scene said she was positive the whis tle blew and that the bell rang. She stated that she was accustomed to lis ten for the whistle every morning as a proper time to wake her husband for his start to his day’s w-ork and that the whistle blew this morning as usual. ■ ^ ^ - The wagon and team belonged to Lee Reid, a colored man who lives on Mr. J. B. Clanton’s place, on the Steel Creek road. For several days since the cotton picking season opened, Rej^d has been senuiug his wagon into city early In the morning to get a wagon load of cotton pickers. Will Reid his boy, who received the most severe injury of any of the party, is 16 or 17 years of age and has been making the daily trip to the city for the cotton pickers.
