pleQ In the experience OF this
reporter, occurred at about
II 80 o'clock Thursday morn
ing at the Fishing Greek tres
tie on the Charleston division
of the Southern Railway, three
miles east of the town Of York
vile. The westbound mail and
express train, No. 15, was run
ming few minutes late and
had aboard about twenty-five
passengers. When the train
struck the Fishing Greek tres
tie, over which a long freight
train and the east bound mail
and express train had passed
only short time before, the
great structure, about 40 feet
in height and perhaps 200 feet
long, trembled for a moment
and then collapsed when the
engine reached about a central
point Eight bents or benches
crumbled under the great weight
and into the deep yawning gap
fell the engine and tender. bag
gage, express and mail car, the
second class coach and the first
class coach. The noise was
heard for miles around, but the
sound was more like that Of a
great gust or roaring wind than
that Of a train wrecked by fall
ing into such a chasm. When
those who were not seriously
injured recovered somew what
from the awful shock they be-
held scene Of wreckage and
horror all around and the
screams of children and women
and groans of the injured were
terrifying. The work Of relief
at this time was necessarily
slow and hazardous, as there
were SO few who were able to
render any assistance whatever.
Conspicuous among h O e
prompt in giving help to the
injured was Mr.. B F. Willeford
a passenger, who escaped with
but very slight injuries. He is
with the Andrews Furniture
Co. of Charlotte and was on a
business trip fo4 his house. He
says that for a moment after
the wrecked train had settled
he thought all around him were
dead and the shock and solem
nifty was SO awful that he was
overcome for an instant. Tn.
aided and alone, he went to
work, however, rendering such
help as was in his power and
for some time he continued
without aid. Finally relief
came from the neighborhoed
and message having been sent
to 4orkville, within less than
an hour n great crowd gathered
and the work of rescue, tedious
and terrifying, was committed
to willing hands that soon re.
covered the bodies of all that
could be reached.
A roll of the dead and the
injured as complete as could be
obtained, is as follows:
The dead are Engineer Henry
Brickman, who with his fire
man Fred Rhyme, fell with his
engine, both being crushed un.
der its fearful weight.

Thursday afternoon Miss Sudie
Denning, who clerks for MI. Giles
HinsOn, on the corner of East Centre
and Boundary streets, tOund a We'll
known negro boy hidden in the store
behind a sugar barrel under the
counter. Mr.. HinSon was notified
and he came over from home to the
store. He took the negro boy and
after searching him tied his hands
well with a rope and allowed him to
depart. It is thought that the negro
intended to stay under the counter
until the store was closed that night,
when he intended TO rob the store of
all he and his pals could carry off.
The boy had been noticed about the
store all the morning. To a crowd
OF negroes who united his hands he
stated that some boys had tied his
hands to whip him.
After all. the great masses of our
North Carolina folks love the coun-
try. While farm products were so
low, many farmers made the fatal
mistake Of moving in town, and to-
day in thousands of instances those
Very men, instead Of owning their
own farm, have had to go back to the
country and are living on rented
land. But the people who stuck to
their farms and attended 10 business
have made money and are prospe-
rous to-day. Many people move to
town to send their children to school.
In Wayne county this is not neces-
sary, we are glad to say, because the
country schools are superintendent by
a mar of irst-class ability, who gives
his entire time to the work, and thus
county superintendent and the county
school teacher are, in point Of ability,
the equals of our Goldsboro Graded
School Superintendent and our
graded school teacher. And right
here we desire to state most strongly
that no graded school in the State
has a superintendent and teachers of
more ability than our w graded
school, which is the pride of our peo-
pie. These excellent country schools
are having the fine effect of keeping
the farmers on the farm, thus max
ing them contented and prosperous.
/ 1nis means prosperity for all, for
j there can be no general prosperity,
unless the farmers prosper.

Low Rates 10 southWeet.

On the first and third Tuesdays of
each month the Cotton Belt Route will
sell one way and round trip tickets at
one half the regular rate plus $500 to
points in Missouri, Arkansas, Louis
lana and Texas, allowing stop over go
ing, and return limit of 81 days.
This unusually low rate is made for
to the Great Southwest. 1t is believed
by those who have made a study of
conditions that no territory on the
American Continent offers equal op-
portunities for farming, stock raising,
fruit and truck growing, or any of the
multiplied industries that are building
prosperous towns and cities.
To the person of limited means de-
string a home, this section of country
offers greater inducements than per-
