SAVED HIS PASSENGERS.
AN ENGINEERS BRAVERY PRE-
VENTS A CATASTROPHE.

He Puts on Steam and Tears Through
a Wreck, Throwing a Truck and
Freight Car From the Track-The
sides of Three Passenger Coaches
Torn OFF, but Nobody Killed-Fright-
ened Passengers.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. ia special from
Erie. Pa, says: A horrible catastrophe
was prevented on the Lake Shore and Mich
iqan Southern railroad to-day near Silver
Creek through the bravery and COOL
headed conduct of the engineer. A de-
tached section of an east-bound
freight train had been run into by
another section of the freight and
a portion of the debris thrown over
on the forward track, just as No. 5,
the fast train going west, Engineer John
Burns Of Buffalo, of the passenger train,
was coming down the hill at rate of fifty
miles an hour. He saw the wreck ahead
and then freight cars. He saw that to at
tempt to stop his train and jump would
sacrifice the lives of his $50 passengers. His
fireman had left him.
TORE THROUGH THE WRECK.
Springing from his seat behind the boiler
Burns put on every pound Of steam, and
opening his sand box so as to get firmer
hold Of the rail iron the monster gave
snort and sprang forward, threw the truck
off and cut through the freight car and
other debris. Burns, with wonderful forti-
tude, held the lever. and in a moment
cleared the obstruction, reversed his
engine and threw on the air trakes
AS the train entered the wreck the sides
were torn out of three coaches. The
screams of women rose high above the
screeching of be steam. Although the
engine was dismantled, brave Engineer
Burns emerged from the debris alive, clv-
cred with scars and bruises. Stoutsbeart ID
men embraced the engineer hysterically,
3 realizing that his heroism had saved the
train.
THE INJURED.
But one passeu ger was seriously injured
and that was Mrs. Mary Kane of Dennlston,
o. Her injuries are internal and several
ribs broken. She was placed in hospital
at Lie Joseph Meyers of Cleveland was
badly hurt about he head. Little Susie
Heitner, daughter of David
Heitner of Chicago, had her shoulder dis
located; News Agent John Quinn Of Buff
falo had his arm hurt and number Of
others we're slightly injured.
Strange to say, not car in the train left
the track and Judge S. s. Burke, president
of the Toledo and Ohio Central railroad,
who was on the train, pronounced it the
most wonderful escape upon record. After
the people got quieted, C. M. Splitter. a
Boston banker, headed list, and over $500
was presented to Engineer Burns by the
passengers.

ROME, GA, Oct 19.-The political stu

ton as to the probable outcome. "Mr. Har-
grove,n said Mr.. Everett, will not get the

grants Fulton the negro vote, and claims
bis election by solid white vote.
MIR. Everett is something on the order Of
Col Clements in politics., power on the
still hunt.
Floyd's legislative delegation will support

A MusleEal Idea.

A musical Chicagoen who travels
about the country good deal has
evolved \ new and novel idea,
which he Will endeavor to have
the railroads adopt. 1t was sug.
gosted to him when he took his
first look at vestibule train. The
pliable connections between the
cars reminded him 80 much of
concertinas that he thought out a
scheme to transform them into
musical instruments or this sort
for the entertainment Of the
passengers. The stops could be
so arranged as to make the curves
on y road teal players OF the in
strument, and the more curves the
livelier the tune. On the COM
paratively straight Pennsylvania
road, for instance, the curves
could play "Auld Lang Syne" and
''Old Hundred" and the ''Doxolo.

A Pension SWindle.

A special to the Galveston news
from Birmingham, Ala, says:
G.. w. Harrison, school
teacher, was arrested in Walker
county yesterday charged with
defrauding the governanent out of
$4,000. Several years ago the
department began to receive from
this section many claims I'm.
der tho Mexican pension law,
which provides pensions for Wild
ows of Mexican veterans. The
papers were properly drawn, wit.
messed and indcrscd. The num-
her of claims has grown so large
oflate that the department officials
were inclined to believe that all
widows of tho Mexican veterans
had moved to Alabama. A special
agent was sent here to investigate.
The special agent soon found that
something was wrong, and further
investigation proved all of the
notary and witness signatures to
the forgeries. Some OF the &C.
acknowledgements were taken by
justices who had never been born.
About $4,000 has been secured from
the government by these alleg-
cd widows, and the special agent
has secured sufficient evidence to
warrant the arrest of Harrison a.
the professional widow. He will
be given q trial here Thursday.

For instance: we have Jackson in
East Fellciana, while jackson

St. Charles has Hannville. Iberia

Race Prejudice.

Senator Eustis made q good
point, the other day, in the dis
cussion of the Chinese census bill
by calling the attention Of the
Republicans to the race prejudice
and antagonism existing in the
North. Mr.. Eustis dwelt at length
upon the bitter prejudice shown
to the Chinese throughout the
North, and the rigid and severe
Legislation adopted to drive them
out OF the country. Throughout
the Pacific Coast aad the Terrific.
ries it had been declared that this
was q white mans country, to he
governed by the whites alone, and
that the Chinese were not waited.
And this doctrine had been &C.
cepted and applaaded in the East.
Mr.. Easis did not object to it
himself. lie agreed fully with the
Cnlifornians that race prejudice
existed on the part Of the whites
against the dark race. But he
could not see why the Northern
people should recognize and ap-
plaud the race feeling against the
Chinese, and yet be surprised at o
similar feeling existing Va the
South against q race much lower
din civilization than the Monso-
iians-the negvo.
The Times. Democrat has I'D.
geady frequently alluded to this
matter, and noted the peculiar
sact That vnr northern friends
who killed OF tAe dndiaas aad esa
out the Chinese because they were
not white, should express sur.
prise that the Southern people are
not disposed to accept the cquaai-
Ay Of the negroes, bat Mr.. East.s

Facts and Figures.

Az the Caucasian has frequently
referred to the necessity Of manu-
featuring Interests ia Shreveport
to build the city to Its highest
and best destiny, / deem it ap-
preEriatc to furnish the people OF
this community, who are vitality
interested in its full development,
such facts as are to be found In
the current industrial history OF
the United States that those who
ase DESTROYS Of action may have
Intelligent hgures upon which to
base practical conclusions.
The largest interest outside OF
coal and iron development is that
OF cotton manufacture. The cen.
sas of 1880 shows that $4,000.
900 worth of raw cotton was
manufactured in the United States
into $2l0,000,00O worth of cotton
goods, which represents So for 81;
on which basis the $4,5OO.OOO
wsTsh of raw cotton handled in
this city would yield sl3,500,0OO
manufactured product. Would
aot this amount saved to this sec.
ton make US rich and very rich
10 few years2 This was manu-.
featured by 1921 ,147 splndles US.
Ing 1854 bales Of cotton, which
is an average Of six splndlcs ia
each bale used. On this basis O
$4,000 spindle mill will consume
$500 bales Of cotton, worth $4s
per bale, which represents 1920.
600 worth of raw material, which
manufactured at the rate or pro.
portion of census figures, repre-
sents % for 81, or q manufacture
ed product of 100000. This
represents either in labor, fuel OF
profit $240,0 900, all Of which would
yield domestic profit to our city
have good authority for the
statement that a $1,000 spindle
mill can be built here for $780,.
600 to $3.50, 900. This mill will
employ $50 operatives which
would require at least 200 new
homes, and food and supplies for
fully 1900 people.
The Admission, Ala, mills, cost
ing $250,OO0 made "a per cent
divided last year. Are not these
facts and figures enough to en-.
courage the poorest and least
ambitious of our people TO put
their shoulder 10 the wheel to
make the possibilities come
quickly?
Can our business men, who are
interested in keeping all the mon
ey possible at home, resist the
temptation of taking a prompt and
vigorous stand in behalf of indus
