DEATH RESULT OF ACCIDENT.
Three Men Met a Violent Death
Yesterday.
The Timcs-Bccordcr learns of the
lath by accident of three white men
yesterday at points along the line of
the Seaboard, though the namee and
particulars of the killing wero not ob
tainable. At De Soto, near Americns,
section foreman shot himself. At
Williams a piledriver fell upon a work
man, crushing him, while another fell
beneath the whoels while trying to
board a moving train.
PHILIP A. JACKSON
DIES SUDDENLY.
Prominent and Prosperous Planter
Passes Away.
APOPLEXY THE PB0BABLE CAUSE
One of the Wealthiest and Most High
ly Esteemed Men In This Section
Dies Monday, Almost Without
Warning—Funeral Tueiday.
Mr. Philip A. Jackson, one of the
most widely known and esteemed citi
zens of Snmter oonnty and a snccessfnl
planter, died on Monday afternoon at
his plantation homo near De Soto.
The’ announcement of Mr. Jackson’s
death was quite a shock to his relatives
and many friends in Americns, as he
was in the city only a day or two ago
and was apparently in his usual good
health. Particulars of his death were
not received, bnt from its suddenness
his demise was probably due to apo
plexy. Mr. Jackson was a very exten
sive and successful farmer, having
large planting interests, besides own
ing valuable realtv in Americns and
elsewhere. He was perhaps fifty-five
years of ago and ie survived by a wife
end one brother, Mr. Joseph Jackson.
He was a nephew by marriage of Capt.
Calvin W. Felder, of this city, besides
having other relatives here. Tne fun
eral services took plaoe here at 3:30
o'clock this Tuesday at Oak Grove
Cemetery.

One of the finest free features of the
Christmas Carnival was added to the
long list yesterday. Holding by her
teeth alone a young woman will be
drawn to the top of the water tower,

stretched to the ground at an angle
and when the match is applied the wo
man will descend the blazing rope to
terra firma, presenting a thrilling
spectacle. '•
