mission in the case CT the Greensboro Ice

investigation into the facts Of the com
plant, ordered the Southern Railway TO
deliver freight to the coal company on the
private siding of the latter, and heavy
daily penalty for failure to do so was the
result. The railroad took the case into
the Federal Court, claiming that State
law which authorized the Corporation
Commission to take charge of it's business
in this manner was in violation of the
United States, as well rs the State Con-
stitution, and directly contravened the
Interstate Commerce spirit of the law.

R. R. HORROR
in TENNESSEE.
Passenger Trains Collide
Near Knoxville.
SIXTY PEOPLE KILLED
Orders Were MIsread or Disregarded.
Several South Car0tinians OH
the Ill-Fated Train.

In a collision on the Southern road,
near Knoxville, Tenn, last Saturday
of two heavily loaded passenger trains.
80 passengers were hurled to instant
death and 160 were injured, several Of
whom have since died.
Among the killed were four members
OF a family named Hill, of Gaffney.
The trains were running on time at
the rate OF 30 miles an hour. They col.
lided near Hodges, town not far from
Knoxville. The terrible horror Is due,
it is believed, to the disregard OF or
ders by the engineer of the West bound
train. The trains had been instructed
to meet at the usual place and it will
never be known why it was not done as
the engineer perished with the rest as
did the engineer on the East bound
passenger.
In the list of those injured appears
the names of two from Union, two from
Winnshoro, two from Columbia and
two from Gaffney.
