C., October I.—At Gaston, S. C., a station on the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad, an eighteen-year-old lad was killed in attempting to board a southbound train as it dashed by at midnight.

He was a handsome lad, well dressed, apparently of respectable parentage and had $3.60 in a belt about his waist. His story was that he had run away from home with" out cause and without saying goo d bye to his mother and father, to use his own words, and not wish ing to spend his remaining money, tried to get on the moving train and lost his footing. He was fearfully crushed be tween the wheels.

PLEASANT HOLT’S BREAK Fires the Hearts of the Demo- crats and a County Solid tor Says he Will Have the Young man Ar rested Jacksonville F’a., Oct 1. —Ex- citement ruus high as the day ot the suite election approaches. The streets have been thronged all day long with men who could do little else than “talk poltice,’ and heated and excited discussions have been had on the street cor ners. The democratic leaders charge Pleasant Holt, one of the young men working for the independents or railroad commission faction of the democracy, with having made a most incendiary speech at Red wood hall Friday night, in which, it is reported that he said ;“Our side has the sheriff, the chief of police and the jailer, with them and if any of you on our side get m to a fight at the polls you will be tnraed loose at once, but the fight ers on the other side will be forc ed to put op $250 cash ’.bail »piec“ and bv the time they have done this a few times they wont have »ny money left to buy votes with County Solicitor Christie says that such - language is incendiary and seditious and as soon as he can have the necessary affidavits prepared he will have young Holt errested on the charge of inciting the populace to riot. If such talk is stopped now it will prevent riots and bloodshed at the polls, but if it is allowed to go on unchecked the law-abiding por tian of the community fears that it will be unable to preserve the peace next Tuesday.
