Tho Wreck at Fort Mill.
Fort Mill Special Of June 9 to Char
lotte Observer: The wreckage OF the
fast mail and the freight train just
north Of here was cleared away at
daybreak this morning and the clear
ing of the blockade of trains at the de-
pot presented an interesting scene for
several hours. A train dispatcher was
here from Columbia, and has been here
all day. Not only the trains of this
road, but the Air Line trains had to
be taken care of. A number Of people
from neighboring towns have visited
the scene Of the wreck today. Much
sympathy Is felt for the crew of the
freight train who, receiving an order
here against another train, forgot their
order against the fast mail and left
here at q fast rate. The agent here
heard Pineville report the passing OF
the fast mail and ran to the door, but
the ill-fated freight was rapidly pass
ing from view and there was nothing
to do but wait-about two minutes
for the crash. An eye witness who
saw the collision says he saw. nothing
but steam and flying timber.
The GuthriesviIIe Storm.
Further particulars from the Guth-
riesville storm referred to in the last
issue of THE ENQUIRER includes the in
formation that the damage was more
extensive than was indicated. The
storm was accompanied by wind, hall
and rain. The wind was in the nature
Of a steady blow, rather than Of cy-
clone. 1t came at a terrific rate and
uprooted trees that had withstood
previous storms Of two or three gen.
erations. But the hail was the most
damaging feature. It came down In
tremendous quantities and in stones of
extraordinary size; but expended Its
greatest severity on a strip Of territory
about half a mile wide and five or six
miles long over the crops Of the fol-
lowing: Charlie Williamson, D. P.
Curry, Robert Caldwell, Claude Bell,
w. N. Elder, J. P. Moore, E. A. Craw-
ford, J. ]. Clinton, J. F. Bookout, John
and Robert Lindsay and others. In
some instances, cotton, corn and every
thing green was beaten into the earth.
and many crops will have, to be re-
planted.
