MANY HURT
In a Rail Railroad Accident on the
So uthern Road
The Wreck Said to Be Caused BY
Spreading Rails Which Threw the
Train Off.

Going at a speed of 20 and 80
miles an hour, Southern passenger
train No. 2, leaving Nashville al
1890 A. NJ, plunged Of a fifteen
foot embankment at Black Branch
near Lebanon, Tenn, thirty-three
miles east of Nashville, shortly after
II o'clock Thursday morning, injur.
ing some 81 persons out of a total OF
60 on board.
Among the most seriously injured
are:
| Mrs. J. T. Jennings, Lebanon.
Tenn, both arms broken, skull frac-
tured and cut above both eyes. may
recover.
Mrs. Sarah Lawrence, Nashville.
seriously cut above the face and head
fractured skull, dangerous.
A. R. Hart, Johnson City, Tenn,
side and head bruised and cut.
William Jamison, Auburn, KY, in
ternally injured.
]. F. Beatty, Nashville, severe cuts
on head, arm badly bruised.
J. ". Dodd. Nashville, scalp wound
Mrs. r. P. Maddox, Nashville,
broken hip, serious.
Joseph Jones, Monetery, Tenn, in
ternal injuries.
Miss Patsy Russell, Difficult, Tenn,
injured in back, serious.
Many others were more or less
seriously injured.
Two passenger coaches, the mail
and baggage cars left the track.
One report says the wreck was
caused by spreading rails, and anoth-
er that the front trucks of the en-
gine jumped the track, and threw the
baggage coach and two passenger
coaches off.
The first intimation the passengers
had was humping, jolting sensation,
and the next instant two coaches shot
from the rails and turned over on
their sides down the embankment.
Immediately on the report of the
wreck being received at Lebanon,
relief train was dispatched from that
town to the scene, all the physicians
in Lebanon, and number of citizens
going to render such assistance as
was possible.
The train made quick run to the
scene and the work of relief and at
tending to the needs of the wounded
was commenced, every assistance
possible being rendered.
The wounded, who live in Nash
Vile, were placed upon the regular
train for that city.
AS soon as the news of the wreck
was received in Nashville, the South
ern officials rushed relief train to
Black Branch.
When the relief train arrived at
1920 o'clock every ambulance in the
city stood in waiting to receive the
victims and rush them to hospitals
for prompt medical attention.
Conductor F. A. Dean of Hartman,
Tenn, who was in charge of the
train, although severely cut and
bruised about the head and face, and
on both hands and on the right fore
arm, stuck to his post and came back
to Nashville with the train. He did
not seem to know just what had
caused the accident.

FOREIGN PEDDLERS.
Compete Unfairly With Merchants
Who Pay Heavy License.
They Do No Good to the City or the
County, as They Pay No License,
Rent or Taxes.

The Columbia Record says its at
tention has been called to band Of
peddlers VINO make Columbia head
quarters and who sell their wares ii
this and nearby communities. The
Record is informed that many OF
! these yenders pay no licenses.
| This is a matter that is deserving
of attention. These peddlers with
packs on their shoulders call at Drac-
tieally every house in the county in
the course of few months, and they
take in thousands of dollars in the
run of year.
While they do not sell much to any
one buyer, they sell great deal IN
the aggregate. and much of the mon
ey which they pick up should go to
merchants who are regularly engag-
ed in trade.
Now, here's the point These ped
piers are entering into the limited
competition with the merchants Of
this city and county and taking bus
mess from them without paying a
cent of licenses.
Such goods as they sell, they buy
from distant markets, much of 1t
from Europe they do not pay rent,
or license, or taxes and the money
they take in goes out of circulation,
for it is known that the greater por-
ton of it is sent out of this country.
Such people are parasites On the
community and should not be toler-
ated. They enter into competition
with merchants who are required to
pay as they go and from no view
point is their presence in the COM
munity desirable.
Doubtless when the situation has
been called to their attention. the
city and county authorities will look
into the matter.
The officers should be directed
if they have not been so directed al
ready-to stop every peddler they see
and demand exhibition OF license.
Lacking a proper license certerhcate
the peddler should be arrested and
punished as the law and facts might
warrant.
There are too many traders of this
class in Richland. If they would
carry on their business here, they
should be made to pay for the priVi-
ledge.
These peddlers seem to stroll over
the State, and something should be
done about it. They frequently visit
thi ssection, and many of the goods
they sell are of the sorriest kind.
Some of them sell goods on the in
stallment plan, charging exorbitant
prices for what they sell. Let them
alone and buy from home merchants,
is our adyce to our readers.

TURKEY ON THE TRACK.
Enaine's Headlight Blinded Big
Gobler One Night.

The Columbia Record says the
other night Engineer J. A. Ashley, OF
this city, while his train was thun-
dering over the Seaboard AIT Line
tracks on its way from Savannah
north, saw between the rails as ne
was traversing Black Swamp Dig
wild turkey gobbler.
AS the big locomotive was almos-
upon him, the gobbler attempted TO
escape, but flew straight into the
headlight, the impact throwing hlm
upon the pilot, where he caught ana
held fast. Mr.. Ashley stopped ms
train and walked out on the running
board to the pilot. The bird was
found to weigh twenty-three pounos;
and proved delicious, when prepared
in huntsman's style.
