Death-PersonaI Notes.

o. Yard Conductor DOlSOn anu EhSih
eer Hughes were fined IS each In the
city court for violating the ordinance
relating to the railroad crossings In the
CITY. The city will find out when too
late that these ordinances are puerlle
and entirely inadequate to control me
conditions. Rock Hill should either
have gates at the main crossing or
else the roads should be changed so
as to have their lines further out OF

both Main and White streets are just
what Atlanta has had to contend
with, simply death traps. At the time

PENDANTS, served notice Of appeal ana
;he case will go to higher court.
