Tax Receiver Mize's digest of the tax
receipts for 1891 for Sumter county is
m ‘*t liatteriug to Mr. Mize as au official,
aud satisfactory in a marked degree to
our people. And this Is particularly
creditable to Mr. Mize at this time, when
the universal cry of “Xo Money” is heard
in the land.
The districts which show an increase
over last year are as follows. These are
the various amounts of increase:
Fifteenth District 122,013
Sixteenth District old 7,0-x

In the Twenty-eight district a decrease

Total Increase $314,206
Less decrease 11,128

A FATAL ACCIDENT*
This is a showing, for these alleged
hard times, of which Sumter county may
well be proud—and she is. And she is
especially proud of her tax receiver, Mr.
Mize, who evidently is possessed of that
admirable quality which is expressed so
euphoniously in Chinese, and of which a
free translation into the native tongue
might bo rendered thus—“He gets
there!"
It will he noticed specially that the
colored farmer is coming rapidly to the
front in a solid and sensible fashion.
TI10 increase of property owned by this
class is reported at nearly Si-’,000,which
is an encouraging aud cheerful sign of
the times.
Take it ail in all, it is safe to say that
Sumter's report for the year ISO] will
compare favorably witli any county in
the state. And the indications are that
tlie report of 1802 will be far ahead of
this report for 1801.

A Bridge Builder ‘ on tho Chattahoochee
Diver BrldEe Fells Through.
On Friday last one of the most unac.
countable accidents on record occurred
on the Chattahoochee river bridge
the S. A. A M. railroad. It seems that
while Mr. George West, a bridge builder,
was at work on this bridge be met his
death in this singular manner:
The span of the bridge on each side
the river is finished, and the workmen
are now engaged at work on the central
span, or draw, of the bridge. To supply
the heavy and cumbrous Iron material
of this draw, a Hat working car is run
over to carry what is needed for the
work in hand. The track over which
this car is run is laid upon the com
pleted span, with cross ties only about
twelve inches apart. In the river
sunk n number of piles, which are
capped by heavy timber, on the top
which are the structures temporarily
erected for the purpose of conducting
tlie work. Through the upper one of
these structures tlie iron bridge runs
upon which the track is laid on which
the working ear is run.
As each heavy piece of iron is ran out
upon the first span, upon a hand car
pushed by several men, it is hoisted
from the car and lowered into position
by the aid of a sti am derrick, and finally
lauded on the barge below to receive it.
This was the work that Mr. West aud
n number of men were engaged in when
the accident occurred.
When tlie iron beam, weighing three
tons, bad been rolled out to the derrick,
the signal to hoist was given, aud the
men all warned to get out of .the way
when tlie beam began to swing, after it
cleared the car fioor a negro, finding
himself too close to it, began to move
back out of the way. Near him was Mr
West, both these men standing on the
crossties about midwny between the
rails. Mr. West, seeing the liegro's
movement, began himself to step further
back: and in so doing, looking at the
beam instead of at his footsteps, lie
stepped between two crossties about
twelve inches npart and made a clean
fall through tlie bridge.
To those who witnessed tlie fall, it
was regarded tlie most unaccountable
thing they ever witnessed. A fairly
good sized man dropping clean through
a space only twelve inches wide they
naturally thought would bo an impos
slbllity.
But such is the melancholy fact. He
went clean through, striking a cap tim
ber forty feet below and crushing his
hip and thigh, and no doubt causing his
instant death. After striking the tlm.
her he turned over it, and mado another
plunge IS feet lower to tho barge
anchored underneath, striking the floor
of which, the bones of his arm, jaw and
fnce were broken. When reached by
his companion, lie was lifeless, ne was
taken to tlie camps of the Georgia
Alabama Construction Company, whero
Ids bouy was prepared for burial, and
was then carried to Jernigan, Ala.,
where be had resided.
Mr. West was about 23 years old, and
leaves a wife aud two small children.
