There were quite a number of Wal halla citizens who hurriedly got out their automobiles or "Flivvers" Sun day and autoed or "Flivvered" over to the Southern Railway Uridgo across Tugaloo river near Madison to view tho wreck of a freight train, which had plunged through the bridge. Tho wreck occurred about 9 o'clock. Through freight train No. 7G, from Atlanta, was Just about to pass over the bridge when the engineer noted that his engine was off tho rails. The engino wa? so close to the bridge that the engineer realized that it would mean certain destruction to suddenly stop his engino with the long string of cars pushing against lt, ns this would probably force his engine and many cars over the rails and down over the abutment. He quickly put on more speed, taking the bridare with his wheels off the rails, butfror tunately finding the auxiliary rails at the side, by means of which ho was enabled to get his engine and a num ber of cars over the bridge to safety. >11NG ?

The scene of the wreck was a mar vel to sumo who witnessed tho wreck ago.

I wish to take this opportunity to kindly express my sincere thanks to my many friends who so heartily supported me in tho recent municipal election. The almost majority attained by me certainly Indicates, in plain fig ures, that the administration for ,the nrist four years has not been equita ble to all the people; and If my de feal will accomplish an improvement wi oby there will not exist for the next two years a reversal of that popular quotation, "Equal rights to all; special privileges to none," and enforcement of all laws, both munic ipal and State, a regularly published report of all city business, which every citizen is entitled to, I am sure my defeat will be a victory, and we will have a bigger and greater Wal halla In every way. And lt is only by such a policy that we can ever hope to attain an "Ideal" which every reasonable public citizen cer tainly wishes to see our community arrive at. Geo. L. Wilson. Jan. 12, 1016.-Adv. \ AlilillOS EVACUATE GALLIPOLI. Tho "Great Ouustnnding Blunder of War" Filially Abandoned. London, Jan. 9.-The remaining positions on Gallipoli peninsula held by the allies have been abandoned with the wounding of only ono man among the British and French, ac cording to a British official statement issued to-night. This news has been expected for several days, for tho retirement of the troops from Anzac and Suvla Bay three weeks ago left no strategic ad vantage to the retention of the top of the peninsula. I Nevertheless, tho news will be re ceived with a pang of regret by the people of tho British Isles, as well as the colonies. Renewed activity of various kinds noted by tho Turkish ofllclal commu nications in the past few days has presumably been in the nature of preparations for the final act of the Dardanelles tragedy. To-night's Turkish officiai statement covering the period from Thursday to Satur day, records Increasing effectiveness of the reinforced Turkish batteries, which have been drawing In and con centrating on the allies' rem a in in g position. Battleship Blown Up. Another pang to the British publie will be caused by tho announcement to-night of the loss of the battleship King Edward VII, which has been blown up by a mine. The brief offi cial statement on the incident does not reveal the scene of tho accident and merely says that the disaster oc curred In a heavy sea, despite which the entire crew was saved before the Bhlp went down. The King Edward VII represented an investment of nearly fl.GOO.OOf, and was one of the finest of the lo it class of pre-droadnaughts, corres ponding in general to the American ships of the New Jersey and Nebraska type, and was only slightly older than the Natal, which was sunk by an Internal explosion about a week ago. A Great Disappointment. , With the withdrawal of tho British and French forces from the southern tip of the Gallipoli peninsula after the evacuation of the Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay position on tho western coast in the middle of December there has come to an end a movement be gun with expectations of .achieve ments which would have a great bear ing on the outcome of the war. Thou sands upon thousands of men lost their lives in effecting landings on the Turkish coast, and in the fighting In progress since. In addition a number of battleships ?nd smaller war cruft of tho entente allies have been sunk or damaged. The chief military purpose of tho Dardanelles campaign, which was be gun In February, 1915, with the bom bardment of Turkish forts at the en trance to the straits by entente allied warships, was the capture of Constan tinople, and the opening of the Bobphorus so that Russia might have an avenue tor tho receipt of arms and ammunition, and also for the ex portation of grain. For England suc cess meant the prevention of another Turkish Invasion of Egypt, and the permanent safety of the Suez Canal and England's communication with India. Politically a victory was oxpected to have a powerful effect upon tho then neutral Balkan States, Greece, Bulgaria and Roumanla. Thero was cited tho possibility, now realized by Bulgaria's entranco into the war, of preventing the establishment of a Balkan link between the Central pow ers ?nd Turkey and also of the possi ble opening of a land route to India. Good Guns Saved. London, Jan. 9.-It is officially an nounced that the complete evacuation cf the Gallipoli peninsula has been successfully carried out. Tho official communication issued this evening says: "Gen. Sir Charlee Monro reports tho complete evacuation of Gallipoli has been successfully carried out. "All the guns and howitzers were taken away with the exception of 17 worn-out guns, which were blown up by us before leaving, "Our casualties amounted to ono member of the British rank and file wounded. "There -were no casualties* among tho French." TH K SOIiONS AUK GATH IORI NG. Indications Point to Economy and Rigid Lnw Enforcement.

There are four new faces In the Legislature, ono new Senator und three new membeis of the House. Tho Clarendon county seat in the Senate will be filled by Charlton Du Rant, lt having become vacant by the death of Senator Appelt. In the i loane the seat of Geo. W. Dick, who esigned to become postmaster at miter, will bo filled by R B. Boiser, who served In a previous Legislature. R. Burton Hicks will go in with tho Spartanburg delegation in the placo of W. H. Querry, who rselgned to be come a member of the tax commis sion, and J. Terry Wood ls a new member of the Greenville delegation, succeeding A. M. Hawkins, who re signed to teach school. The necessary legislation for strict enforcement of the prohibition laws will probably be enacted, judging from the sentiment of members -al ready here. Tho passing of the dis pensary will do away with the coun ties paying tho special constables, and lt will bo necessary for the Gene ral Assembly to provide a fund for the payment of special constables for the enforcement of the prohibition laws. It has boen suggested that ono way of doing this would bo to put a tax of say fifty cents on oach gallon of liquor ordered in the State. Ano ther suggestion has boon made to raise the law enforcement fund of the Governor to $50,000. f A Store Burned nt Iva, ' -' ! (Anderson Mail, 10th.) Fire destroyed a two-story concrete block building in Iva this morning. The building was owned and occupied by R. S. Yeargin and was situated in the center of the town.

Tho flames consumed the store room and most of the contents of the store. Mr. Yeargin conducted a Jew elry store in the building. The value of the building is not definitely known, but Mr. Yeargin had insurance with an Anderson concern for $2,500 on the store, $2,000 on tho stock and $700 on the fixtures. Keep Quiet, Please.
