We have never known such de-
mand for houses to rent as there is
at this time, and we wonder why it is
that some of our citizens don't build
houses to rent. There are at least
six or eight persons who want to eth
er buy lot and biuld or rent, and
they tell ME they they can get neither.
Mr.. w. H. Kohn, familiarly known
as Romey Kohn, accepted work with
the Southern Railway, expecting to
become an engineer. He was serving
his apprenticeship and was out on the
road Monday when the engine on
which he was, blew up, knocking him
across two box cars, breaking one
hand and very severely scalding his
face, neck and shoulders. The engi-
neer and fireman were also severely
burned. Romey's escape from in
stant death seems miraculous. He was
taken to Columbia and his burns were
dressed by DR.. Kendall, the company's
surgeon, and sent home. He is now
at his fathers under the care Of his
home physician. He is suffering very
much.
